Since, I was very young I knew who Jesus Christ was. I knew the power and meaning of prayer but I was lost. I never came to Christ with my problems and I always tried to figure them out by myself. It doesn't work that way. When, I was 7 yrs old I found out that I was deaf in my left ear. I would blame God for that. Growing up, I didn't have many friends. People would make fun of me because my speech wasn't that Good. :cry: I use to cry at night and hope that I wouldn't wake up the next morning. Did I bring my worries and problems to Christ? No, I felt so lost and I would steal from people because I wanted what I couldn't have. I was raped when I was 12 by my own grandfather which put me in greater depression and I tried to kill myself. My dad was in prison and my mom was always out drinking and doing drugs. All I wanted was for someone to be there for me and love me. :sigh: We had no house, little food, no clothes and I didn't go to school. I started drinking and smoking cigrattes because I just gave up. One day, I was fed up and I decided that I didn't want to live like that anymore. So, full of anger and depression. So I cryed to the Lord and prayed all night :prayer: . I asked God to Forgive me and help me through my problems and he did. I was patient and things started to change for me and my family. My dad and mom are christians now and they came to know God. I started doing better in school and I turn to God now. I finally feel loved and I finally feel saved. :clap: I found my answer and my answer is God. I know live my life for him and I trust in him. I understand God's word and I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ now. I am SAVED and I am going down the right path. Amen and praise the Lord. Anything is possible through God.
