Courage

Courage- I just love that word. Many years ago when I was probably in 7th grade. I began to have serious problems with my breathing, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I went to a Wednesday night service and the pastor said, "Is there anyone here that is having a problem with shallow breathing and it is scaring you? You think that there is something seriously wrong medically, but it's anxiety." I hesitated for several minutes because I didn't want to be the weird girl going up to the front, but I realized that if I didn't find enough courage to go up there then I might not ever be healed of this. I went up to the front and it was an instant miracle. I could feel my body literally changing inside.

Courage is something you have to have when you are terrified. Courage can cure people that our living with depression and anxiety. There is moments everyday that God truly wants to heal you. God always wants to heal you, but sometimes he wants to heal something inside first. A lot of times the thing inside of you that he wants to heal is something that you have covered up for many years.

I love this verse, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." Psalm 139: 23
