Hi Guys, I pray you would enjoy my testimony, all the Glory be to God. Bless you all :)

At the ageof 36 I had no job, no hope, no money, no car, nowhere to live, no furniture and was sick with anxiety. I felt so alone, like everything had been stripped away from me and literally all I had was Jesus. I had to move out of where I wasliving and was offered a very small room under someone’s house. I didn’t know what to do and so many doors were closing. No matter how many job interviews I went for or prayers I prayed nothing changed my circumstances. I was trying my best andit was tough to keep going.

I kept running into these real estate signs that said don’t settle for second best –choose 1[SUP]st[/SUP] choice. I knew God was highlighting these signs to me and speaking through them, but what was God’s best for me I had no idea. I prayed God I do want your best, whatever your will is for me I want it. God put on my heart to move to a new city about 1.5 hours away. I didn’t have any close relatives or friends there but I knew that was God’s best for me so I kept praying God open the door if this is your will and give me wisdom to make the right decisions.

Nearly two years later I am living in the most beautiful city near the beach and the water, I am a qualified counsellor, I am studying community services, I have my own car, a permanent job and a unit with a view of the surf and the ocean, but most of all I trust in theLord. You see I wasn’t trusting in the Lord to work out my life for me. I was tryingto do it separate from him. He had the best for me and still does because I know there is more. Today I trust in him and love him more than ever before and it doesn’t matter where I go or what he gives me because I trust in him no matter what my situation. After experiencing this time in my life I will always know that he will work things out for good because I love him (Romans 8:28). As Jesus said when you lose your life you will find your life (Matthew 10:39). That is how I feel, I have certainly lost my life and slowly but surely with Jesus I am learning to find it. J If you are in a hard place right now I want to encourage you God has the best for your life and he is working it out for you. Praise God for his goodness, deliverance,healing and salvation.

You probably didn't get healed from your anxiety directly, but rather because you trust in God you gained new strength. God kept his word on giving strength to anyone who trusts in him. Here is the verse that explains the mental/spiritual strength that God gives by trusting in him:

Isaiah 40:30-31: Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

This verse does not imply to physical strength, from our flesh bodies but it talks about strength from within our soul, or you can say I guess mental energy.

Your welcome, I hope because of my teaching that you faith has now grown. And that you know that Gods word is really true, and so is he. Get rid of all doubts in you. He fulfills his word. Your welcome :)

What in you changed before all these changes took place? What fell away in your personal nature for instance.

Hi Chatter 23

Probably the biggest thing for me would be pride, I was so independent, so use to doing everything on my own. When everything got stripped away from me I was so dependent on God. I was so humbled I had to rely on God instead of my own way it brought me so close to him and really showed me his is my father and provider, he truly is my everything. :)
