Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge
The key word in this verse for me is refuge; a place where I feel safe. It took me some time to realize that my refuge is the bible; the word of God. I tried battling my anxiety and depression without God but that was impossible for me. Even when I realized I needed God to guide me through this path it was still hard for me to understand that he is my refuge, he's the one that keeps me safe. Not only did I find refuge in my faith, I also found refuge in my family, boyfriend and friends. God, my family, my boyfriend and friends are my home; they're the ones who pick me up whenever I'm in a "hole"; they're the ones who give me the strongest support but overall they love me.

" In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help".
This verse in particular hits home; when I first accepted that I had GAD and depression I cried to God. I just broke down crying and begged God to help me get through this. I just wanted an easy way out, I did not want to go through the rough days. I just wanted everything to go away and be "normal" but God had other plans for me. -xoxo |
