Good Health Praise God

I wouldn’t be who I am today without Him.

Over a year ago I started seeing my counselor, and boy has that helped with my mental health 🙏

When I first started seeing her I knew I needed Gods help. I was filled with anxiety, used to love chaos, swearing, etc…Now, I’m more at peace, I can’t stand when people yell, and I hardly swear, but sometimes, a bad word slips, whoops…

When I didn’t have a great relationship with God I didn’t care about myself. Now, I have seen how much the Lord has worked in my life and I love myself better than I have before.

I used to be filled with so much anxiety. I used to always be stressed. I was so worried about “being late” in life, that I didn’t realize I was causing all my issues on my own. I was stressing myself out and others. I was too busy “rushing” that I didn’t stop to think “is this my timing or Gods?”

It took going through hard times to switch my focus. I realized what I was doing wasn’t healthy for me or the people around me. When you stop to think about it, the devil wants us to rush, but God’s doesn’t. God is always right on time. We’re the ones that want to have certain things by a certain age, but that’s not how He works.

I may be going through a lot right now, but I know everything is going to work out according to Gods plan for my life. It’s hard sometimes, but I’ve been learning to trust Him more even when it’s not easy. At the end of the day, God knows our future. We don’t.

When you think about it, it’s really a good thing that our God is in control. If we had control of our own lives… I can’t imagine how different our lives would be…

It’s beautiful that God wants the best for us because he loves us and cares about us that much. My mind just can’t comprehend how Jesus, our Lord and Savior, takes care of everyone on earth… there’s over 7 billion people in the world… it baffles me yet amazes me how much of a powerful Lord we serve… Heaven must be magical and HUGE!

As the days go by, I am proud of myself for putting in the work to better myself. Praise to God who has helped me to be who I am today and helped me along the way 🙏

It has been a long and hard road, and there’s always more growing and learning to do. But right now, I’m I’m just so thankful for how much I’ve grown in the past year. Even though I’ve dealt with a lot. I have seen so much improvement and I can’t thank God enough for helping me become a better version of myself.

Even during the hard process, there were many times where I had to fight my flesh not to “cause a fight” or “need to yell” … it was a very hard time when I was trying to improve. I had a lot of support, but it was still very hard. I was open and honest about what I was going through and thankfully the people around me helped support me the best way they could.

To look back on my life, I’m just thankful… God can work within you, but you have to open up to him, in order to let him work. You have to surrender. Tell him how you’re feeling. It’s going to be hard. Your flesh is going to want to fight back. But, remember during those times when your flesh wants to cause trouble, that prayer is powerful and our God is bigger than our battles.

Changing your unhealthy habits takes time, and thankfully our God is patient and merciful. He takes his precious sweet time. What he started in you, he’s going to finish ❤️

God doesn’t give up on us, we forget to give him time. Remember that the next time you’re thinking “I haven’t felt God near me lately”. He feels far because you’re not giving him your time. He’s always there, he’s just waiting for you to spend time with Him and read his word to help guide you and speak to you 🫶
