Throughout this month I've tried recharging my faith and diving deeper into God's word. What I've come to find is that even when I think I'm not enough, God always reminds me that I am. Through reading the Bible and spending more time in prayer I've seen just what God is.
God is caring
I've always struggled with knowing I'm heard or not in prayer about what is really weighing down on my heart and mind; but God reveals to me throughout my days that He does hear me and blesses me daily. I pray for healing amongst friends and family members and I see the work He does.
God is present at all times
The times that I start to feel the most alone or times that I'm really stressed out I feel His presence there reassuring me that He is there beside me.
God is powerful
When I stop and look at what all God has improved in my life over this past month I am amazed. I am more patient (which is a huge thing because that is not a trait I was born with), more compassionate, focused, and calm. Lately I had been internally fighting myself over what this semester and post graduation is going to bring me and now I am just taking whatever happens and moving forward with it. God's plan for me is so much greater than any I could devise on my own. He has given me strength to handle life situations more courageously.
God is a healer
My mind and my soul both had been needing some TLC lately. I was in a dark plan back in the fall and the only way I got through it was getting help. God has healed my mind in so many ways that I thought would take me years of therapy to get to in just a matter of a few months.
God is so much more than what I deserve
When I think back on my life and all of the poor choices I have made and I know I will make in the future, I really don't deserve the love and grace that God gives me. His forgiveness is so abundant and I don't understand how I deserve it but I am forever grateful for having a Father that loves me as much as He does. All I want is to have an abundant love for others the way He does for everyone.
As this month is nearing the end I hope to take what I have learned and gained with me into next month and the following ten months. The amount of freedom that my soul has gained just by spending time alone with God and being around people who want to build me up spiritually has been a major blessing on my well being. There is so much that I have to be thankful for and I don't know what I would do without my God.
Go forth my friends and find what God is to you.
