We all experience moments in our life where we may feel hopeless. Moments where we might not see a way out of a situation. Two years ago, I experienced a nervous breakdown while working in a very stressful job. I went from working part time to working seven days a week. I stopped going to church, my marriage was a complete disaster and at times, it seemed like there was no hope. No hope for my marriage to be what God wanted it to be, no financial hope, simply no hope.
This nervous break down had me unable to move, at times both physically and mentally. And while quitting my job, seeking advice from my best friend, Magdalena and my mom, Maria, and going to therapy alone and with my husband truly helped, it wasn't without the word of God. It couldn't have been.
I started reading the bible, and in all honesty, I didn't know where to begin, so I did the easiest thing, lol. I asked Google. I started with bible verses to help me specifically with what I was dealing that day. Sometimes I needed to know what God wanted me to know when I was anxious, depressed or simply hopeless. Reading the bible a few verses at a time led me to bible journal. Nothing fancy. I would just write a bible verse that would speak to me and write about it. The time I spent journaling thought me what it meant to be in a communion with God. It thought me to seek HIM first. No matter what.
I pray that Jesus Christ, speasks to you throught this bible verses and that they help you as much as they helped me.
And don't forget, as we repent for our sins, we are Loved, Redeemed and Forgiven.
God bless you!
