It worked. I can't believe it worked.

I'm not exactly sure why it happened today, why it even happened to me at all. But for the first time in my life, I felt the presence of God. For so long I'd been asking God to prove his worth, to give me a sign...and today I simply opened myself to God. And he was there. He gave me something I thought I'd never find again - hope. I just had to trust in Him. That's all I ever had to do. Not ask for miracles, not to see "I am God and I exist" written in the clouds...but just to open my heart to him. And there he was. Pow.

I know now that I can carry on. That I can make it through, and He will be there on the other side. I know I have a lot of ground to cover, but it will happen.

I'm not saying my depression will magically just vanish forever, but knowing that God is there for me, and indeed for all of us, just makes it seem like a cake walk rather than the worst thing in the world. In a way, I'm grateful for my depression. Because without it, I'd never have come back home. I've never felt such a beautiful sadness in all my life.

A huge thank-you to you guys for praying for me. It worked a treat

A few weeks ago I was on my way towards some kind of depression i reckon. Had a whole bunch of issues going on in my head, went to a therapy session and everything. Then I realised one thing, that I had been neglecting God this whole time (I've always been Christian and pray daily but this part of my life I hadn't opened to God). As soon as I realised this, i started praying, and listening to Christian music, and I just started crying, I just let myself go. All this stress from my problems I had building up. Since then, all my self-esteem issues, feel theyve been brought down a notch, and I feel I can deal with them no biggie now. Literally since that day, like you, I feel I have so much more strength and I can now confidently believe I can get through this, with the help of God.

It's a great feeling.

Glad you're feeling it too.
