It has been a really low point in my life for something that should not be. It was really tough to
understand why I could feel so incomplete despite all the blessings in my life. Having a roof over my
head, having an amazing God who cares for me. Pursuing a career that I am called to be a part of, a
wonderful family. Yet there it was, this bone deep sadness. I lost my ability to talk to God for a
while, but I am happy to say that despite all the troubled waters. God has been there.
I just wanted to write this blog, to say that I am fine. God has been faithful and I am once more drawn
to his light. He reminds me in the scripture that he is always there for me and also I would like to
encourage anyone who is going through anything; Depression, anxiety, abuse, insecurity whatever it
is. God has not forgotten so don't give up.
Look at your situation as an opportunity to grow and learn about yourself. God is always near.
When I began to feel God was distant, it was easy to remain in my downward spiral but as I found myself returning to the scriptures and this encouraged me to be strong and persevere. It encouraged me to seek God again in repentance and renewing my commitment to him. He is slow to anger and rich in mercy. This is the truth about God that I chose to believe and I hope that you too can find that in your situation.
The book of Timothy 4:11-15 really spoke to me and for anyone in ministry who may sometimes feel discouraged.
It goes like this;
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. Do not neglect the gift which was given you through a prophetic message; Watch your life and doctrine closely and persevere in them because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers".
I just want to say that I am back!! and will constantly look on the one who is the light, to guide my path in order not to veer off course.
