[00michael]

hey everyone i'm Michael

i've been having a really tough time for a while now. i obliterated my connection with God and sometimes it's hard just to pray.

depression, low self-esteem, unable to let go of the past, terrified of tomorrow, and super lonely...too sad to even write proper sentences.

i'm supposed to do one thing today that will help me find a sense of community. so here i am

Hi Michael,

Welcome!
Praying for you struggles with depression, may the Lord renew your strength in Him.
He never leaves or forsakes us, as you draw back to Him and feel His loving Presence again you will see that your feelings of Him being away, are not reliable. His Truth is reluable, stand upon Truth. He is there, ready to forgive, embrace, renew your soul. In Jesus ♥
