If we don’t bring our thoughts, prayers, and thanks to the Lord, it is easy to fall into a pit full of fears. My fear became paranoia, leading me from my home, to a hospital, then to a crisis house. It was one day in that house that I didn’t expect, when God confirmed in me my ministry. All I had been through helped me in that one moment to minister to another resident. God’s plan all along was for me to learn to be faithful in giving my thoughts to him, and for him to guard my heart and mind with Christ’s perfect peace.
