When you think everything in your life is going down hill, rather it be financially, emotionally, or spiritually you need an outlet. For many of us we use our habits to mask us from the pain and suffering that we go through in everyday life. Everyday we go through struggles but without faith we have no backbone. Your belief in God and a prayer daily will always help see you through the unthinkable. A year ago I hit my all time low I lost my job which I invested 5 years of my time due to my own lack of common sense. For a while I blamed everybody, I was in bitter disbelief that it really happened. From there the devil was tapping on my shoulders day in and day out. My drinking habits got out of control just needing a drink to help me cope with the transformation that I needed to adjust to. My surroundings changed drastically, the things I would do on a regular basis happened once every few months. Now I needed a change to better myself.
I woke up late one afternoon after a long night of drinking........and said to myself "What the f**know are you doing with yourself??" that was gods way of telling me to come back home. From that day on I quit drinking, I began praying daily rather it be for good things or if I'm just having a bad day asking the Lord for his guidance to steer my life in the right direction.
Then it was time to get saved ..... The day of my baptism was one of the most remarkable days of my life. Seeing my family all together at the same time brought tears of joy to my face. This moment was priceless looking back on how much I've changed. I'm not gonna lie I have began back drinking but the key is knowing your limitations. I went from drinking on my days off 4-5 fifths riding drinking to maybe a cup or 2.
Prayer worked wonders for me looking at the things I've been through you have to give praise to the man above for our hardships because that's what will bring you closer to him. Get your life back in order the way it should be.
