I remember a time whitewater rafting when I was thrown under the water,
a raft was over top of me, the rushing water tossing me against the rocks and
it seemed so long before I was able to come to the surface, catch a breath of
air and see the light. Knowing there was help along the shore and vest on my
body wasn’t really enough to quell the anxiety I was feeling in the moment and
the moment seemed to last for a very long time. While you struggle to break
free of something from your past, some present desire that you know is not in
line with God’s will, or some great fear of failure or loss you can become filled
with anxiety or sink into the dread of hopelessness, “I’ll never get out of
this.” You know you must break free,
but you can’t seem to overcome that barrier in your heart & mind. It always
comes down to faith empowering your fight.
You can do it. God
is on your side!
