I heard a song the other day called Thankful. I cannot begin to describe how thankful I feel to be a part of a church family that is always there for you. I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for the past two years. I have told no one but this morning on the way to church I saw many of my church family that I haven't seen in awhile or people I see every week. It seemed as though the day got brighter and filled with purpose.
My Sunday School class kept me on point this morning and smiled at me the whole time. They all had different ideas about how to do their craft project. While it had the same beginning point they all looked very different when they left. Older siblings helped them make their project into what they wanted and they continued to smile. I was pleasantly worn out when it was all over. A when I left a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I am ready to move on to my purpose and remember that Jesus gave his life so that we may all be saved. I am not sure what's different about today but it has become my point of change. So I am thankful to Calvary and all of you have supported me through my struggle although you were not aware. I sent this message to a friend who is in need of love and prayer: The Lord is near to all who call on him. Psalm 145:18
My Lenten pledge was to stop being so critical and I had forgot to include myself. Lent is a wonderful season that calls on us to reflect on our walk with God. I am serving his purpose and doing things in God's time not my time.
God Bless all of you on your journey with Christ.
Prayer: Lord, you hear our cry and save us. You come near to us when we call on you. We give thanks for the people you surround us with to show your love to us. Amen.
Prayer Concern: those struggling with anxiety and depression.
