draigon,

for some reason i just wanted to share a bit. i began really walking with Christ almost three years ago, when i went to college. i'd never grown up in the church, so i began learning all that i could about God and His word. i was SO in love with Jesus; not a minute of the day passed that i didn't think of Him and how amazing He was. i was in awe that the creator of the universe knew every part of me perfectly, my most shameful secrets, and still loved me enough to give me His life and want me to know Him. i was constantly communicating with God, so my new faith was easy to live out.

about a year ago, my walk with God started getting harder. the giddy feelings i used to have when i thought of God were getting fewer and less extreme. instead of turning to God and praying that he would bring me closer to Him, i was prideful and didn't want to admit that i was hurting. eventually, i got to the point where i was filling my pain with my old sin habits. the more i tried to deal with the void my own way, the more depressed i got. just a year before, i'd had a VERY real, intimate relationship with Jesus. by now, i'd gotten to the point where i was seriously questioning if God even existed. there were days that i would be convinced He didn't, then i would spend the entire night trying to avoid hearing the "still, small voice" of a God who "didn't exist".

one day, just after i joined worthyboards, i finally decided that i had held on to my pride for far too long. i cried out to God, and confessed to Him all of my pride and sin, and told Him how much i needed Him and missed Him. and He answered me! He comforted me and let me know that this whole time, He'd just been waiting patiently for me to reach out for Him with my whole heart. the Lord is so faithful, and His mercies are new every morning.

a few days after i reconciled with God, i read a psalm that described my situation perfectly:

Psalm 32

1 Blessed is he

whose transgressions are forgiven,

whose sins are covered.

2 Blessed is the man

whose sin the LORD does not count against him

and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent,

my bones wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night

your hand was heavy upon me;

my strength was sapped

as in the heat of summer.

Selah

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you

and did not cover up my iniquity.

I said, "I will confess

my transgressions to the LORD "-

and you forgave

the guilt of my sin.

Selah

6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you

while you may be found;

surely when the mighty waters rise,

they will not reach him.

7 You are my hiding place;

you will protect me from trouble

and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Selah

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you and watch over you.

9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,

which have no understanding

but must be controlled by bit and bridle

or they will not come to you.

10 Many are the woes of the wicked,

but the LORD's unfailing love

surrounds the man who trusts in him.

11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;

sing, all you who are upright in heart!
