Seek God Through ItSample

Life presents many challenges, and for some people, it starts at a young age. From the age of 5-18, I struggled with suicidal thoughts, anger, depression, and anxiety. Even after I gave my heart to Christ, I still struggled with hopelessness. I heard many messages on faith and God's love which consoled me but never changed me. The reality was that those messages were more like boosters that helped me to get through the next week. The darkness, depression, anxiety, and my struggle to live and forgive were still very prevalent.

I would often try to force myself to have faith and analyze my sufferings. I did not want to be a depressed Christian. I was depressed and an atheist, so being depressed and a Christian did not make sense. ( I can do bad all by myself lol)

It was not until I began to seek God that I discovered that peace is possible and it dwells in His presence.

God's peace is something we continue to mature in by the leading of The Holy Spirit.

I believe the person we can relate to the most when it comes to trauma and depression is Job.Job was a man who repeatedly said that he wished he was never born. Life had made him feel that it was not worth living. 

Do you ever feel that bad things just keep happening to you? That no matter what you do or don't do, life continues to hurt you, humiliate you? It is at this time that we must seek God, even when we don't want to.

Trust me, seeking God isn't as hard as we tend to think. Seeking God, just as in seeking anything, just takes commitment. When we view something as hard, we are automatically discouraged from commitment.

Start seeking God with the mindset of I'm going to enjoy this, and not the mindset of this is rigid.
