Personal lived experiences with God

Matthew 10:31
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

When my self esteem was so low and I thought that I’m not an amazing person, God showed me and let me feel that He loves me so much; and He can see that I am worth more than I know. Truly like how Jesus said in Matthew 10:31,

Yes it was that fast, and it truly shows that God is always listening. You can always entrust to God your fears and worries! Just trust in Him and let Jesus handle the rest. He truly is my sanctuary and peace.

My OCD is racking up my head again. It came to a point that it was overwhelming, so I prayed; in my prayer, I trusted my fears and worries to God because it was simply too much for me to handle. A few seconds after saying my prayer, I felt His peace immediately. —

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

He’s always there for me even when I don’t put Him first. I owe everything to Him and despite sinning again and again, God never gave up on me. He still gives me peace and love. I don’t know what I did to deserve Him but I am repenting for my sins. —

49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. —

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I have noticed that I wasn’t putting Him first every morning as I wake up and every night as I sleep. The next morning I woke, I asked for God’s forgiveness as I carried my sin; when my prayer goes on, I suddenly felt my burden become light as Jesus said in —

Matthew 11:28-30. He listens all the time especially when it’s quiet. God always came through for me so I should do better for Him, because He never did anything less for me. God always gave me more than what I asked for and deserved. I am truly at my loving God’s mercy. —

because He already overcame everything.

Do not fear, God is always there. Ask for His help.

God is gentle, meek, humble, and kind. Whenever I would have an OCD attack during prayer, I felt His peace. It’s as if He was laying a blanket of gentleness and love on me during that moment. He is present whenever I feel anxious or overwhelmed with my thoughts, —

and I would always be grateful for that. Just like when He gave His hand when Peter sank, Jesus extends His holy hands towards me so that I too would not drown in my thoughts. He keeps me grounded and safe in a way that no storm will ever sink the boat that I am in—

that I feel like I’m drowning.

To those with OCD, He hears us and He loves us no matter what. Stay strong brothers and sisters.

It happened a few months ago as I was dealing heavily with my OCD. The thing is, my OCD is directed at God so I was repetitively thinking of gruesome things toward Him. As I slept that night, I had a dream of Jesus sitting beside me on a hill. —

[iel @LivingWHim]

as I did that, I felt my mind being enveloped in warmth and purity. In that moment, I felt peace. And whenever I have those thoughts, I simply remind myself of His godly presence. It truly was an honor to experience that, as it became my pillar of strength for the times —
