I am a wife, mother, artist, and educator- by looking at me you would think that my life is full of unbridled energy, spontaneity, and total JOY; but what many don’t know is that I have battled panic disorder for over 20 years, but GOD!!! Through the many bouts of panic, fear, tears, depression and countless emergency room visits the ONLY thing that has comforted and healed my mind and body were these bible scriptures that come from The Book of Psalms 103:1-4. “Bless the Lord, O my soul; And that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.” Yes, God gave these scriptures to me at my darkest moment. Every time that the fear would try and creep back into my life, I would say these verses over and over until they were deeply embedded into my whole being. I don’t live my life in the darkness of fear, I have my joy and happiness back. I have a lovely family and they are a large part of why I keep pushing. I can’t help but thank God for delivering me. God gave me the GIFT of knowing that I am His child and how NOT to feed into Satan’s evil tactics of fear. My sunshine radiates daily through God, that’s why I smile…
