Hello, Poetry Friends!💜

I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my poetry blog. I appreciate you being here!
.

I spent many years in the darkness of depression. I never knew what it meant to want to live- I only knew how to survive. All during that time, God helped me through my struggles by pointing me toward the future. I looked to the hope of Heaven no matter how dark it got, but the weight of unforgiveness bogged me down.
.

Now I see a different path before me. I don’t need to wait for Heaven to have a good life. I want to make progress now. I want to grow beyond where I’ve been. To start, I needed to forgive people from my past. I didn’t know how, but knew that God wanted me to (Ephesians 4:31-34), so I kept praying for God to help me.
.

It finally clicked as God answered my prayers by changing my heart. In prayer, we can give God the situations and people we need to forgive and trust Him to handle the rest. Now I am letting the river of forgiveness flow through me like a stream toward the hands of God. From here, I can start to move forward, with His help.

Thankfully, God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). We can start new again and live a path of freedom, trusting God to help us along the way.

Some encouraging Bible verses about God’s help-

.

Psalm 121:2

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
.

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
.

Hebrews 13:6 

So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
.

Psalm 54:4

Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-

⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast.

.

Romans 10:9-10

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
