Peace; that’s something that I haven’t felt in such a long time. When you hear the word “peace” it’s often in relation to the world and the times we are living in. However, the peace that I’m speaking of is personal peace.
I’ll be 31 years old this year and looking back over my life I can recall a few points in my life where I was truly at peace. These points in my life were places where I wasn’t worried about what tomorrow held for me because I trusted that God would carry me through whatever came, my emotional and mental struggles like depression and anxiety was no longer a issue because the things that triggered them no longer was on my shoulders to carry, I gave it all to God.
Knowing all of this, I often ask myself “how did I end up where I am now?” I wonder how I managed to get so far from God when I know that I can’t make it without him, when I know that my only peace can be found with him.
This world has a way of tricking us. It can take the most awful things and make it look wonderful and enticing. I truly believe that this is the plan of Satan. This is how Satan plans to pull us in without us realizing what is happening. I know that’s what has happened to me so many times in my life. Without knowing, I would somehow end up lost in this world.
We can’t make it through life without God. Some people will argue this but I can speak from experience and say that they are wrong. We can not mentally nor physically carry the weight and pain of this world on our own. Humans are not capable of handling the darkness that’s coming, we can’t do this without God. The darkness that’s coming is going to consume us if we don’t have God in our heart to carry us and light the way.
This world isn’t getting better. I wish that I could tell you that it was all going to get better and everything was going to be okay but I would be lying. As the days go by, things are going to get worse. Changes are coming that so many of us are not prepared for.
I’m scared. I’m not just scared for myself, I’m scared for all of the lost souls. I’ve read my Bible, I know the scripture - I know what’s coming. Without God we can’t do this. Without God we can’t survive. This world will literally consume us if we don’t have God guiding and carrying us.
If you know God but you have strayed, just know that it’s not too late. You can always go back home and you can always find your peace again. If you’re someone that has questions, you don’t know God but you want to - my mommy always said that the Bible is a road map. The Bible holds all of your answers. If you need someone to talk to, I’ll be glad to listen and help in any way that I can. Just send me a message.
I don’t want to leave this world “lost”. I’ve suffered so much in this life, more than anyone, except God knows. When I take my final breath I want to be at peace.
I’d love to live the rest of my days on this earth in peace, worry free and trusting God but even if I can’t have full peace again - I just pray that I can make it to Heaven to have it eternally.
