DOES GOD EVEN HEAR ME?

I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears Psalms 34:4
This is a verse that I now have come to love and know now beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is truth! Did I think this while on my almost 25 year journey with fear, anxiety and panic attacks? That the Lord heard me? No I did not! But, look at the first part of this verse that says “I sought the Lord.” Did I seek the Lord during that time? No I didn’t do that either and quite honestly I wouldn’t have had a clue even how to seek Him. Not only did fear grip my daily life but I also had an intense fear of God. And by that I mean a scared fear like He had already given me anxiety so who knows what He will do to me next.

So I lived day to day in quiet desperation for relief- for freedom – for a normal life without fear and torment. I had become an expert at coping methods that were so routine that no one even knew of my inner hell. Someone was praying for me though. I am now confident of that! In one of my particularly dark nights, probably 20 years into this life of fear, I was shown a glimmer of hope. For the first time in my life I had a sense that God was the one who brought it into my life and it turned out to be the best thing that would help me up to that time.
My fears began to melt away little by little and God gave me a hunger for more of Him and more of His wisdom and healing for my past, my present and my wounded heart and mind. That was almost 20 years ago and now I can say loudly that He has delivered me from my fears! Again, I was not seeking Him at that time but somebody was seeking Him and lifting up prayers on my behalf, and for that I am grateful!
Have you been heard by God? Is it difficult, like it was for me, to even go to God? If you are living with fear and torment and you have found this blog, then perhaps there is a chance that someone else is probably seeking God for you. The program that I am about to introduce in the beginning of January could very well be an answer to prayers- yours or maybe someone else’s. Is this because somehow I’m so good to have developed this program? I would answer that NO – it’s because our God is so good to help me with this because He desires that people are delivered from fears!!
Keep your hope ALIVE!! I promise help is available! Say this with me: “2020 can be an amazing fear free year for me!”
