I want to share a part of my journey that is very close to my heart.
There was a season when I struggled deeply with depression. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. Anxiety affected my sleep, my appetite, and even my ability to focus. As a mom, a wife, and someone involved in ministry, I tried to keep going—but inside, I was exhausted. There were moments when I felt lost and overwhelmed, not fully understanding what was happening within me.
In that season, prayer became my anchor. Whenever I felt low, I would pray and remind myself of God’s promises in His Word. There were days when my prayers were simple and quiet, offered through tears. In my weakest moments, I even prayed that God would take my life so I could be with Him—not because I wanted to harm myself, but because I was longing for rest and peace, and for the pain to finally stop. Looking back now, I see how weary my soul truly was.
Worship also helped me tremendously. Singing hymns and Christian songs—sometimes while doing chores, sometimes alone—brought comfort to my heart. Music reminded me of God’s truth when my thoughts felt heavy. It helped calm my spirit and lifted my eyes back to Him when I felt overwhelmed.
One of the biggest lessons God taught me during that time was the importance of not carrying everything alone. I pushed myself to open up to my husband and share what was really going on in my heart. Being honest with him brought such relief. God also gave me new friends here—people I could trust and safely share my struggles with. Before, I used to keep everything to myself. This time, God showed me how healing comes through openness and community.
By God’s grace, I can now say that I have come out of that season. Life is still not problem-free, but my heart is no longer the same. I see that God used that painful chapter to mold me, teach me, and draw me closer to Him. I understand now that He was with me even when I felt weak and unsure.
I am learning to trust God daily—that He will direct our family according to His perfect will and plan. And I know that true peace comes from walking in obedience to Him.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18

If you are walking through a difficult season today, I hope this reminds you that you are not alone. God sees you, He hears you, and He is faithful to carry you through.
