8 months ago, my life fell completely apart. I reluctantly began this study, not really expecting much to happen. I felt God had abandoned me and hadn't answered my cries for help for years. Why would a Bible study help me? Much to my surprise, as I stuck with the study, God began healing many areas of my life, especially guilt and shame. The more I did the study, the more the Lord healed areas of my life I locked him out of for years. As I worked through unforgiveness and issues of past abuse that I thought I had "gotten over", He slowly began to lift a heavy cloud of depression off of me. It feels good to feel good. For the first time in my life, I am walking in freedom and instead of seeking out my friends to fix my problems or fix my life, my thoughts and heart is turned toward the Lord all through out the day. This study has opened up a conversation between the Lord and I that I have never had before, and has given me such hope and appreciation for the finished work on the cross. He really does see us and He really does hear us!
