My testimony of trust…
Shame made me feel empty
inside. Addiction seemed to fill the
emptiness. If I could drink, eat, have
sex, or workout hard enough, then I thought I might escape myself, but it didn’t
work. Shame cries to be healed. My
wounds go back to childhood. Emptiness cries out for love. I’ve been empty for a long time.
Only God can provide the
unconditional love I need to fill the emptiness deep inside of me and to heal
me completely. Trust is not easy for
me. It has taken me a long time to trust
God. I do trust Him now. Choosing to trust the Lord in these tough
times increases my faith far more than if He made my way smooth for me. My testimony is rooted in the Savior by
trusting Him and by accepting the will of Heavenly Father. (See John 14:27; Isaiah 40:1)
“Men and women who turn their lives over
to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they
can. He will deepen their joys, expand
their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their
spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their
souls, raise up friends, and pour our peace.” - Ezra Taft Benson
