Thank you for sharing! I just got diagnosed with Scrupulosity. I started writing before I knew what it was. It’s the hardest, worst thing. Thank you for your words. They are encouraging!
Oh friend I am so sorry you have to journey with Scrupulosity too! It is truly the hardest, worst thing. In my life, it has also been the single biggest thing that has directed me to God. I have seen his goodness in the face of great distress. I'm praying for you as well.
I so relate to that! It’s amazing how much it has deepened and refined my faith in Him. Even on days I don’t feel it at all, I know and must remind myself He looks on me with delight.
Thanks again for your words! It is helpful, when my brain revolts from what is true, to know there are others who struggle in the same way and cling to Jesus still.
This is beautiful. I have been in this place before too and consider it my joy now to share of how God sustained me and carried me through the shadow of death. Remembering God’s faithfulness then helps me know He will be with me no matter what I face in the future. Thank you for sharing.
I love how the Israelites are continuously told to remember God's works--especially when God feels distant. The Psalms does this beautifully as well. Sometimes when God feels quiet, what I need most is to remember the ways in which he has moved in my life in the past. It is a very comforting reality to live into :)
Amy I am sorry you've had to travel through dark places, but I'm glad you had books like "On Getting Out of Bed" to keep you company. I am cheering for you!
Drew, keep writing! What an encouragement. I might re-read this every day for the next week... before I get out of bed!
Oh my thank you so much for those kind words! That really means a lot to me :) I have been encouraged by writing them!
