Your Story - He is there.

He is there.

Through my story God has revealed himself to me even more. Struggling with cutting and battling depression and anxiety. God has been there every step of the way. Many times I turned my back on him but now, I'm stepping up to claim my victory that has already been won! I would be lying if I told you I had everything all worked out and things were great. I started cutting about a year ago, I'm 17 now. This past year has been a whirl wind. I still struggle daily with cutting and sometimes I mess up, but God is still there. The Bible says "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ...PRAISE GOD! This year things just dumped on my shoulders. My cousin was away in the army in Afghanistan, my teenage sister got pregnant, and I had to deal with something that I hadn't brought up in years, something that I pushed down... When I was 14 and 15, I was sexually assaulted by my coach. I didn't tell anyone until this year when God told me to. But I ended up having to go to counselling and God brought it up with me again and my counsellor found out and she had to report him and I had to go to the police and make a statement. That was the night I struggled with suicidal thoughts, but God was my only comforter that night. I had no one else. He was with me when I went to the police, he was with me each time I cut and each time I pushed Him away. He was there. I am on my way to recovery, and no matter what, He is always there. No matter how much I mess up. The Bible also says "You were bought with a price, therefore honor God with your bodies." When you cut, its like a slap in God's face. Wake up, and claim your victory!

Maybe it's the conviction of your words, but you seem so certain in your writing. It's empowering to see someone's who's been hurt so much, struggled so much, come to the understanding that you have. And this understanding is what will give you strength in today, tomorrow, and the next day.

It sounds like u are on the road to recovery, that is simply available through Christ Jesus. I love how you described God as your only comforter, always remember that, and i want to thank you for stepping up and going to the police. That is something i was not able to do, and still i struggle with this after leaving it be for over a year. I wrote I am a friend of God, check it out. I hope you can see, that no matter how entangled we become in the things of this world, that God is capable of healing us and restoring us. Do me a favor and renounce any lies that Satan is telling you as you go on your journey. If they are not something that God would say to you his precious child, you do not have to accept or own it. God Bless
