All Thanks and Glory to God

Life can throw so many obstacles. The obstacles can make you think wild thoughts. You may feel like life isn’t worth living, things will never change,  trying is a waste, I’m stuck in a rut I can’t get past, or God doesn’t hear my prayers or see my pain.

He does see all that we go through. In His timing if we don’t lose heart and give up He will keep His promises. He kept them with Abraham and Sarah, Joseph, Noah, Job, and the list goes on.

There is a time when life can get so hard that you think life isn’t worth living. We see high suicide rates because people feel lost, unsupported, abandoned, hopeless, and alone. From a spiritual point, their daily thoughts are negative, and it’s fuels the internal pain they are in. This causes them to implode and inflict self-harm. I know this all too well.

I almost didn’t make it to see the last six months, but God had other plans. I survived. I live to give others hope that God is with you through the pain. There is more to my story. I feel for families that have had to lose their loved ones to suicide. The loss is a pain that aches the soul.

God saved my life. I hope and keep going and so can you. God is a protector and redeemer. We know life is unfair, but God is still in it. Prayers are still being answered. Healing is still being performed through His mighty power. God deserves all the thanks and glory be to God.
