The Power of Prayer

Right now, I am on the verge of better things. I can feel God working in my life.

For the past month, I have experienced anxiety, or that's what I'm going to call it. I have gone through days where my heart was beating so fast my chest hurt constantly. I was out of breath and jumpy-every little thing set me off. I even had trouble sleeping because I was afraid something bad would happen if I fell asleep.

After suffering for long enough, I finally laid it all out to God with others from Clarity. I surrendered my worries and asked God to take care of them for me. I was finished with feeling terribly for a month straight. I was finished with wishing each day would end, so I wouldn't have to feel terrible.

Thursday evening ended like a normal day. However, I woke up on Friday different. Generally within the first hour of being awake my chest would unbearably hurt. This didn't happen. Not in one hour...two hours....five hours....all day. For the first time in almost a month, I didn't have chest pain in an entire day. Was it the work of God? Absolutely.

Today has been wonderful as well. I felt a little uneasy around dinnertime when I was doing homework, but it soon went away as I preoccupied myself. I must say God answers prayers. He really does.

After my faith has been proven right in front of my eyes, I know there is something else I need to rely on God for. My overeating. I have fallen so deep that I struggle to get out. This just means I have been relying on myself only and leaving God out of the picture. However, this is not going to happen anymore. I am turning over a new leaf right now. I am giving up everything for God and I ask that he control my urges when I simply cannot.

Day one will be when I wake up tomorrow morning. Everything will be different. I will have the will and power to get through this because I know I have the support I need.
