We've all been there, right? We've all found ourselves drowning in piles of homework, finals, family matters, bills, whatever it is that keeps us up all night and dreading the next day. I used to find myself asking, "When will this end? Is enough ever going to be enough?" Unfortunately, I often quickly answered myself saying, "No. It will never end." Thankfully, I was wrong. There can be an end to the madness, chaos, anxiety, and even depression. It's not medicine. It's not meditation. It's not some temporary "solution" that only makes you forget about your problems for a little while. It terminates stress, worry, anxiety, depression and anything else that causes you to sink in this ocean called life.
I was a college student with a unique case: I lost both a mother and a stepmother before my college life even began. I worked, went to school, and tried to help my younger sisters in any way I could. To say I was stressed was an understatement. I was crippling under obligations and pressure and was already in a severe state of depression. I began contemplating suicide so much that it became an everyday occurrence and even seemed to define me. I thought there was no escape to the stress and the pain I felt, but there was more than just an escape--there was an actual cure.
On a night in September, I met the Healer for the very first time. Ever since then, my life has never been the same. All of that stress, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts left me. They haven't been back since. I have been able to live a life full of joy and peace on a daily basis. When God came into my life, all of those undesirable pressures and feelings left. I won't ever have to deal with them again.
That's the thing that so many of us don't understand. We don't have to live with anxiety, depression, or any of that. We can live a life without the pain that this world seems to promise. When I finally got the revelation that I didn't have to drown in the ocean of life but could instead walk on the water, above all of the waves, that's when life became more than just liveable--it became worth living and purposeful.
The same thing can happen to you. You can have the Cure-All that I used for the first time back in September. You can rid yourself of all of that stress and worry. All you have to do is accept Jesus into your heart, believe He can heal you, and receive it. God loves you and wants the best for you, so why not allow Him to take away all of the bad and replace it with good?
