MY STRUGGLE…

Years after giving my life to Christ, I found myself in a valley. The honeymoon phase was over, and I found myself struggling to praise Him through the storm. I had lost and found my way time and time again.

What could I do differently to break the cycle of backsliding? I loved God. I knew He was real, but I had soon found out that I didn’t know Him personally. I lacked intimacy with God and wasn’t grounded in Him.

I was like leaves on a tree. I fell away from God if Satan blew too hard. As I spent more time with the Lord, my love for Him grew stronger. When trials came, I wasn’t the same. My reaction was different, and the enemy couldn’t move me so swiftly. Of course, there were times where I fell short of the glory, but it became a bit easier to get back up and keep moving forward. I want to share a few tools that may help you grow a stronger relationship with Christ.
