I live in USA
I am saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Yea though I walk through of the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
I was saved when I was in my late twenties. I have been through difficult times in my life, but I found strength in God. He was truly holding me up when I couldn't stand on my own. As a matter of fact, I don't know that I ever actually have stood on my own. I was lost and wandering out on my own for a very long time, it was not that I did not want to be saved, it was that I didn't know what it was to be saved. After I was saved I struggled, I thought everything would magically get better. It did not, it took a long time. I think new Christians believe things will change automatically and when it does not, they can get discouraged. Even when I did wander away, I still had my Bible and when things seemed unbearable, I found hope and strength in the word. I learned to have faith. I started believing the promises of God and started praying for God's will to be done in my life, not my own.
I have to say, the plan God had for me was so much better than I could have imagined. I am blessed beyond anything I could have dreamed. Of course things are not perfect, but I learned to be patient, wait on God, and understand things don't happen on our time. I still have difficult situations in my life, but I learned to give everything over to Him, cast all my cares on Him. It is hard to 'let go and let God'. Soimetimes I find myself trying to 'handle' things, but God sends little reminders to lean on Him.
I have realized, all of this is bigger than me. Whatever God has in store for me, I will accept, and love Him, and know this is His plan for my life. I thank God everyday for the blessings He has given me.
Keep on asking and you will be given what you ask, Keep on looking and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door ts opened to everyone who knocks.
