Feeling God's Presence

[PennylessZ28]

Well, last Saturday was a turning point for me. A serious one. I've been a struggling Christian.

When I say struggling, I mean struggling to let go of my self centered ways and put God soley first in my life.

I had the LAST fight with my girlfriend before a Mercy Me concert, and did some pretty regretable things. Needless to say its over, and my eyes really opened up that night.

It took that weekend to really sink in, but I really redicated myself wholey to God.

I've prayed in the morning, and in the night, and kept him in my thoughts everyday. I started getting sick that Saturday, and the more I gave praise to God, the more he opened my eyes.

I dunno how to explain it, but yesterday I came home from work with a really bad headache and coughing. I prayed and asked, "Please take away this sickness, but if it is your will then don't take it away" After a short nap my head was cleared, and my cough and cold were gone. I rejoyiced in this.

Many times in the past I felt like I never had any real proof, like he was always distant. But in just the past few days I have felt his presence ever so close.

I think it just took me a while to really give up my heart fully to our lord.

I am so glad. But I am still praying about Kim. The lord knows best though, and I prayed his love would fill the void, and it has.

So I dunno if I will see her again, but I am sorry I ruined something so special he gave to me. I wish I learned my lesson the easy way and not the hard way.

I don't ever want to be without God now.

Just wanted to share.

Thanks.

Sorry for my poor spelling. I slept through most of my education

That's awesome!! It's always great to feel God so close and to really see Him at work in a powerful way. I've recently pulled a similar 180 in my life and I must admit that my life is truly wonderful now! Why did I ever think that life would be better without God?!

I hope that God continues to reveal new things to you and that He shows you just how powerful and loving He is. Keep praying and reading the bible and growing in your realtionship with Christ! Someday, Satan will try to again tempt you away from God, but if you remain focused on God and strong in the faith, you can be sure that you'll be able to overcome any temptations Satan may bring! Good luck and God Bless!!
