I experienced God's strength!

My faith in Jesus 

Jesus came to earth as a baby to live and die for us. We can have trust in him through any trial or tribulation.  Romans 8:37  In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

By Faith I live
Hebrews 11
11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

This verse helped me look at the big in life.  Its just amazing to think that the world was made by the word of God!  Sometimes its hard to let God have control of our life, but he is outside of time. He knows every thought, and everything you will do for eternity.  

A year ago, this week I was having anxiety attack, after anxiety attack.  I couldn't sleep.  I couldn't eat.  I was under a lot of pressure from my biological dad to get a job and get out of the house more.  I was called stupid over and over again because I wanted to stay and help my family at home.
  However, I did want to get involved in other projects outside of the home.   My mom wanted me to wait though and just focus on my character.
   I felt like everyone was out to get me.  I felt no appreciation or support from my family. 
Because of this I became depressed. I couldn't even explain how sad and horrible I felt. 
There was definitely a mental imbalance and I really struggled to have respect for my parents.
I didn't sleep for days and I was hallucinating.  I would fall asleep only to wake up with my heart half bursting.  Literally, feeling like I was having a heart attack.  I had this feeling like there were demons in the room and I also saw an angel outside my window and I dreamt I was dying and going to heaven. 

So, I went to a Psych hospital and read and prayed and I had a lot of time to think. Romans 8 and Philippians were my go to chapters.  Especially, the verse.  "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."   I had no strength but from God and I made it out of the hospital against the doctors advice.
  I still get anxiety attacks but life has been a lot better.  My faith is in God.  "He is always with me, he will never forsake me. Nothing can separate me from the love of God.    We aren't perfect, we are perfect because of Christ.  We aren't failures.   In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
