In the past few weeks, I’ve been swamped with negative thoughts, and just things bringing me down, and I’ve been going through an endless cycle of depression and feeling angry at myself.  At the time the storm clouds seemed so great and it was very daunting.  I was so focused on the greatness of the storm, I didn’t even notice how it really didn’t hit me yet.

I’ve been just thinking of all the bad things that are going to happen just because a couple things had happened and I was already fretting.  I realized how far from God I have gotten, and that I was so scared to be where I was, that I wanted to quit and things seemed so impossible for me.

but what I didn’t realize was that I didn’t really walk away from him, I was facing the wrong way and was staring at a storm that was scared to come over me who was protected by God.  The world was attacking me from all sides and God was protecting me in every way and when that one little rock slipped through and hit me, I was so discouraged.  

But I just had to take a breath and remember that my God is the God that led Gideon to victory with just 300 men.  My God was the one who felled the wall of Jericho by having men march around it.  My God sent His ONLY son to come to this world and DIE for us.

Now I stand before him feeling foolish for thinking such stupid things.  Take heart fellow followers, our LORD has overcome and in his resurrection, gave us the power to overcome.
