Praise God: deliverance through prayer

Postby Sailor Kenshin » Sat Feb 06, 2010 5:42 pm

I usually make a really lousy witness because I can all too easily fall into a kind of darkness that's almost unimaginable, this demon of despair and hopelessness who's been tormenting me since I was little.

In particular it comes upon me whenever I feel well enough to declare my intentions to do something like go out to eat. Or anything 'normal' that a lot of people take for granted, it could be going to a movie or shopping or taking a drive.

Then the demon gets creative and thinks of ways to keep me inside and isolated, and it's as though nothing has any meaning: "Well, we're all going to die anyway so what's the point of being happy?"

This week was a prime example. We made plans to go out, but certain incidents triggered fighting and misery all day, and at the height of the darkness, I prayed. Rather angrily, too: "If you're there, then HELP me!"

And after I prayed, in a miracle, almost at once my mood lifted. I stopped fighting, apologized to those I had wronged. We went out, had dinner. Had fun.

I know this doesn't sound like much. And it's not. Not compared to what many many people are going through. But it was a victory, it was real to me, and I wanted to tell SOMEONE.

Thanks be to God.

This would be better in Testimonies and Spiritual Growth ^__^

I'm glad everything worked out ^__^ There's always light beyond the darkness (that sounded a bit corny didn't it) 8D

Thanks---I wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Can a moderator move it to the right spot? :sniffle:
