Oh, how great God is! Although I faced many trials in my personal life throughout the journey of this study, God used each trial and delay to really work in MY heart and mind to change me and heal me. A HUGE part of God’s transformation in my life came when I had to accept and repent for realizing that a great deal of my hurts, hang ups and damaged relationships in life were due to my own sin that came from trauma, especially developing a ’’need’’ to have a sense of control over situations to protect myself. I have learned to let God be in control as He truly is, and step away from my human desire to control and it has significantly reduced my anxiety and changed a lot about my life and relationships. Allowing God to have that control over my life has given me a deeper sense of peace. I have even grown a deeper desire to serve and find myself reaching out to do more things outside of my previous ’’comfort zone’’ because I know without a doubt that God is for me, not against me.
