I have to give thanks to the Lord today. I hope you hear my heart in this, I dont share this to bring any glory to myself, but I feel compelled to give GOD the glory. I usually become sick to my stomach if I am asked to speak in front of a group. And quite honestly, I usually say NO. Well, this morning at our womens Bible study I shared (even briefly) a little of my testimony through depression and how the Lord, in His goodness, began teaching me to pray the Scriptures. I shared a little bit of what praying the Scriptures looks like in my own life. Yall. I wasnt nervous. Not even a little. I didnt get to my seat and think of a million things I should have said. The Lord filled me with His peace and I feel that I shared what the Lord wanted me to share... And then? I sold out ALL the rest of the paper copies of my prayer journals!! Again, this is not about me, this is said in gratefulness that there are women out there wanting to get IN THE WORD and PRAYER. Praise Him! The Lord has done a work in my life...and like our study shared this morning, I need to more boldly proclaim and give Him glory for what He has done. It was just about 1 year ago that He delivered me from the depths of depression...that isnt to say I will never struggle again, but I have to THANK HIM for what He HAS done and praise Him because I know He will continue to be faithful to me in the future, no matter what comes my way. It was in my darkest days that He gave me comfort through His Word and taught me to pray those words back to Him...and now I can look back and say that I am SO THANKFUL for the periods of struggle in my life.
