The Overthinker and God – My Story
For years, I was an overthinker filled with fear, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I worried constantly about my future and felt like everyone else was moving forward while I was stuck. Even after finishing university and getting a job, I felt empty and restless. In 2022, I finally left that job, not knowing what was next, but God had a plan. At a church conference soon after, I experienced His presence like never before. God began to heal me from the inside out, breaking the chains of fear, depression, and doubt. I learned to trust Him completely and to rest in His peace. Now, I know that Jesus has given me eternal life. I no longer carry my burdens alone. His love has changed me, giving me confidence, joy, and the assurance that He is always with me.
Before knowing I had eternal life, I had worries and anxiety as well as low self esteem when i was younger i was woried about my future alot but i grew up in church so i knew about jesus but i felt like life had no purpose and i didnt know what to do i had given my heart to the lord at a teens camp when i was younger about about 15 years old but i didnt know what salvation was so my ligfe didnt really change i still worried and over thought every thing and was concerned about my future then in the year 2020 my anxiety had gotten so bad i was angry and sad all the time because i had gradudated from university for three but i had no job and di felt everything and everyone was going on with their lives except me some were getting married or getting promotions at work while i was stuck in the same place and i was stressed about it which made me insecure and question my self worth and how everyone saw me then in 2021 i got a job and i thought every thing would be fine but it was i was more stressed out that before and disaponited because i knew the moment i started that job that it was not for me ad what God had for me but i was afraid to leave and be unemployed again so i stayed for 8months and the prssure got so bad that i regretted it i kept telling myself it would get better but it never did i was always busy and never had time for anything outside of work all i felt was fear and loneliness which did help the other problem i had regarding my lowself esteem and my anxiety. In August 2022, I decided to leave and i felt a relieved
i remember feeling a weight off my shoulder at the time, but I still was sad about not having a job anymore but God had other plans the last day of my job there was a two day conference in which i attended where the presence of god moved and i recived not only deliverance starting those two day but contined to recieve deliverance over the next few month from fear of failure depression and anxiety i was able to find renewed hope in God and begin to trust God for strength and his comfort and Joy for the ability to face my fears and lay it at his feet instead of keeping it in my mind and my heart i found a peace that surpass all understanding and assurance that God is still faithful even when we think he has forgotten about us and that he was always with me even when i was doubting and thought he wasn't i had to repent and ask God to forgive me for doubting him and bow im free from my past and his love has changed my life and the way i see myself as i have the confidence and security of knowing he is always with me.
After i remember feeling a weight off my shoulder at the time, I was able to find renewed hope in God and begin to trust God for strength and his comfort and Joy for the ability to face my fears. I lay it at his feet instead of keeping it in my mind and my heart i found a peace that surpass all understanding and assurance that God is still faithful even when we think he has forgotten about us and that he was always with me even when i was doubting and thought he wasn't i had to repent and ask God to forgive me for doubting him and bow I'm free from my past. His love has changed my life and the way I see myself, as I have the confidence and security of knowing he is always with me.
Now i have eternal life i no longer feel completely alone i know that i can trust God and i can cast my cares upon him because i know he cares for me. Even when i have doubts now i remember his words about the plans he has for me in jermiah 29:11 and what he says about his grace in 2 corinthians 12:9-10 and how he is the God who takes hold of my right hand in Isaiah 41:13 and when i am in need i remember what he says in 1 John 5:14 that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
For years, I was drowning in sadness and depression and fear. I was an overthinker, worrying about everything, until one day, I was unable to move forward in my life and career. I had to leave my Job; however, a good thing happened. I went to a conference my church was part of on the supernatural, had an encounter with God, and, through a series of deliverances, was set free. Now I know about the saving power of Jesus Christ and his power to save and deliver.
I know that I have eternal life because I have accepted that Jesus not only came and died for my sins, but he can carry me through when I am weak. He is strong. In Hebrews 13:6, it says, "The Lord is my helper." I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? so when i am having struggles i thing about how God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for my sin and that i have the gift of eternal life and I do not need to carry everything alone and that the same God that raised Christ from the dead lives within me (Romans 8:11) and if anything were to happen to me i know that i have a place in heaven because i have place my trust and confidence in him.
Your testimony matters too
