Many of us are living thinking that the void in your heart will never be filled and you will never find acceptance in the world around you; so many of us tried to find peace in drugs, partying, and drinking. Some of us found ourselves lost. We thought that if we don’t party or get drunk or watch explicit things then our lives will go back to the depressive life and stress that just won't go away. We felt lonely, lost, and like nothing could help. I decided to pray to the Lord, with just a simple prayer my life changed completely. I was able to go to God as I was. Mathew 11–28 says, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This verse basically means come unto the Lord as you are, whether you are depressed or have anxiety. Go to God, he will fulfill your needs stay with him and worship him. and he will give you rest. God will never leave you. John 6:36 says, “Everyone whom the Father gives me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.” After turning to God, I was able to fill this void that I felt I couldn’t fill, no matter what I have done. I found peace, I found happiness. I found love. I felt I couldn’t be accepted anywhere but I was accepted in the mind of Christ. For he died for me and my sins and paid the punishment we were all supposed to have. God loves us so much that he gave his one and only son just to do that for us. I read the bible, I prayed and asked questions, and I spread the gospel. I’m the same person but God has changed my mindset, my heart, and my spirit. Amen
