In February 2020, right before the world shut down due to COVID-19, I was in a deep, dark depression. I was desperate, lonely, lacking all hope and could not see past the darkness. It was not the first time I had suffered depression. But this time was different. This time I cried out to God and said the magic two words, “Help me.” I was crying and I was on the ground in prayer, and I heard God whisper to me, “Stand up.” I felt the presence of God and I stood up. The presence of God is all I need for everlasting joy. God is near all the time; I just need to humble myself to find Him. I did not suffer through depression in the winter of 2021 for the first time since I can remember. It was the first year that I believed God might be able to heal me, and He did. In the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I had a breakthrough. I swallowed my church pride and asked other believers to pray for me. I gave up sugar as a coping mechanism. I started fasting once a week. I started praising God daily by listening to worship music and I began running. God is able, God is good, and he can heal you too. God is bigger than any mountain you may face. Part of my healing has been to spend time in God’s Word, making specific prayer requests, and thanking God for prayers answered. I also thank God for his providence and all the beauty that I encounter each day. This daily gratitude and conversation with God are tools that I hope to give to you. Each week there is a Scripture and devotional and extra pages dedicated for you to list your thoughts, prayers, and gratitude. It is my hope that the trials you encounter as you go through life will bring you closer to God. May you find an everlasting joy knowing that your loving Father is bigger than anything you may face.
