Hey everyone 🙂

I’ve been going through a bit of a rough patch. It’s definitely my fault. I haven’t been prioritizing my relationship with God and just have been very ‘bleh’, even to the point where I have a hard time being around my church family. I have a hard time connecting due to this, and it makes sense in a way.

My mind has been going a bit crazy, too. Been having a lot of weird dreams. Also been having a lot of negative thoughts, thinking I may not even be living much longer at times.

I don’t think I’ve ever been this low ever, it is definitely a strange experience. I feel very vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy, but I suppose that kinda makes sense.

I am currently working on getting back in the swing of things but really am having difficulty. Sometimes I don’t feel genuine. Other times I feel I’m losing my mind or have lost my sanity.

Thank you to all who took the time to read this and for any prayer.

Father, we lift our voices in thanks to You, for You have forgiven us for every sin and taken away our
guilt and shame. You have shown us Your unfailing love. You deal with us in compassionate ways.
We pray now that you would renew Aephus, that he would have the faith of a child and the wisdom
of a sage. Restore his hope and fellowship with believers, that he might live with great hope today
and until our earthly lives are done. In the sweet and precious Name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

"Rest not then content without an increasing acquaintance with Jesus. Seek to know more of Him in His divine nature, in His human relationship, in His finished work, in His death, in His resurrection, in His present glorious intercession, and in His future royal advent."

"Abide hard by the Cross, and search the mystery of His wounds."

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

"In our esteem, the joys of earth are little better than husks for swine compared with Jesus, the heavenly manna. We would rather have one mouthful of Christ's love, and a sip of His fellowship, than a whole world full of carnal delights. What is the chaff to the wheat? What is the sparkling paste to the true diamond? What is a dream to the glorious reality? What is time's mirth, in its best trim, compared to our Lord Jesus in His most despised estate?"
