I am so thankful for this study. When I began, I was just fulfilling the requirement to lead a study. But, as I’ve gone through it, I laid my soul bare before the throne of God. Our family has been through so much, and it just didn’t seem like the trials were stopping anytime soon. I had become weary, discouraged, and beginning to feel numb when I would read God’s word. I had known this beautiful closeness with my Savior and I was feeling distant, like he wasn’t there. The more I felt this way, the more I read, studied, served, but I was not feeling led by His spirit in any of those tasks. Scripture wasn’t jumping off the page like I’ve known it to do. When I would serve, I would feel burdensome, I could go on. By being transparent and laying my soul bare through this study, the Holy Spirit has shown me what was going on. He helped me pin how I was doubting the goodness of my Savior. I was going before Him in prayer with a Spirit of doubt, doubting He would answer my prayers. My faith was being tested and I was shown that I was ’ye of little faith’. This study was exactly what I needed, in this exact time in my life. I am thankful God orchestrated me to inquire about leadership, for me to meet Camille that very weekend, and for me to walk through this study. I am so thankful for His goodness and mercy in my life, how He pursues me, and never lets me go. Praise Him, through whom all blessings flow.
