joshua -> Prayer and life (1/23/2008 5:14:03 PM)
|
I’m very thankful for prayer, and finding a way to peace. I’m new on the journey but it’s shaping up to be better than the one I was on. It wasn’t even a year ago that I became so overcome with anxiety and depression I tried to take my own life. Of course I had to be hospitalized and committed for a little while and I almost lost everything. I was diagnosed with what the psychiatrist called “one of the worst cases of OCD” he’d ever seen. Shortly after that though I found God and turned my life over to his hands. I thank God every day I didn’t succeed in my attempt and I am now thankful for every minute. I’m very glad I found prayer. Sometimes those old feelings try to come back. Especially at work, because of the nature of my occupation. I’m a funeral director. But now I’ve even started using that as an example of why I should be thankful. I’m alive, I can pray, and my God hears me. Yes, it’s good to be here.
