I finished this on New Years day and it has given me such a solid foundation in Him and a hope and peace for what the future will bring. This study has truly opened my eyes to the fact that God is a very real and present help in time of trouble and that He is sovereign in ALL things and that I can trust Him with my whole heart. It has been absolutely wonderful to feel myself become stronger and for God to reveal the dark areas of my heart and to shed His light on the areas for which I needed to ask forgiveness. Through the study, it occurred to me that throughout my childhood I never had parents I could trust. I grew up on very shaky and uncertain ground. I think that’s a good part of why it has been so hard for me to let go and trust God and to really just let go. Through this study, I’ve also seen Christ’s death on the cross in new light. I think I had grown a bit numb to the horrific pain and suffering He endured for humanity and for ME. My eyes have also been opened to His Word like never before. I have learned my way through the Bible and have been able to remember scripture and many verses are now written on my heart. I am changed -- humbled -- and I have been so honored to feel His presence and peace through this 9-week journey.
