How my mental illnesses brought me closer to God

Hey everyone! So today, I’m going to share with you all how my Mental illnesses actually brought me closer to God. 

Before we get started, let’s have our moment of silence. 

At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and ask God to bring us closer to him. Ask God that even in the most difficult circumstances to bring us closer to him. Take a minimum of 5 minutes and pray for this. 

Now back to the show

How my mental illnesses brought me closer to God

So, I often have to share my mental health story with people so that they may recover. 

However, I am often barred from sharing with them the source of my healing, which is God.

And I just want to share with people that the source of my healing is God. 

The reason why I am who I am today is because of God. 

My reason for everything is God. 

God gives me strength to do good. God gives me strength to overcome barriers. God gives me the strength to overcome everything. 

And the reason why I have been able to overcome the challenges of my mental health, have ultimately been because of God. 

The Lord has provided a house to live in, food to eat, insurance to cover the bills, loving parents, clothes to wear, an attitude that just won’t give up, he has blessed me with so many things. 

I can’t say that in my job because my job is a very secular job. But I ask that if anyone is out there to know that the reason for any and all healing is because of the Lord. 

My story

What happened was that I had always been sad. I was often bullied in school and I was always sad. 

For no particular reason, I was just always sad and there was no one who could lift me up. 

So, I heard that God can heal everything and I said that I would do anything to be happy because it was just unbearable. 

And so fast forward, I was getting bullied in school and one day I just snapped. 

I snapped and I said to myself that I really needed help. 

And it wasn’t until Junior year of high school that I got the help that I needed through a series of unfortunate events. 

I ended up in the hospital. 

However, it was in the hospital that I cried unto the Lord. 

And I cried for the Lord and my desire became the Lord. 

And in those days, I was praying often. I would pray every time I would rise, and every time I went to sleep. And the Lord was helping me to fall asleep in those days. 

Fast forward a little bit,

I had been going in and out of jails and hospitals for a few years. 

And finally, the Lord made my heart whole one day. 

Like I feel happy and I feel like I can do the things that the Lord wants me to do. 

However, it IS BECAUSE OF GOD.

I want to make that crystal clear, that the reason why I am whole now is because o GOD. 

The Lord Jesus, that’s the person who has saved me from my sins and my ultimate demise.
