I know that God helps us when we get in situations that are pretty dark. I remember a time when I was 15 and felt surrounded by darkness and misery. I remember being very lonely and did not have the support and emotional connection of parents to help me through this time. I remember feeling suicidal at times, but knowing better enough that I didn’t attempt or make any moves toward that end. What I do remember was kneeling down one night, pleading for I don't know what... I guess just an end to the misery I was feeling inside, the feeling of being invisible. My pleading became wordless as torrent of tears fell and I didn't have any more words. Then . . . God’s love washed over me. I physically felt two arms wrap around me and hold me while I cried. There was so much heartache, and so much sadness to let out. In the morning I felt very peaceful, and had a deep assurance that I was loved very much by my Heavenly Father. He knew who I was and what troubled my heart. This was the beginning of my coming out of darkness into light. He shows us the path to follow to better days and lasting joy, and I tried my best to do what he asked of me and then I reaped the rewards. I have never visited that darkness again, ever. The God I worship brought me forth out of that darkness.
