Heard God say “Get up”
I went through something traumatic a few weeks ago. I hit rock bottom as I was dealing with shame,guilt, and feeling like I keep failing God. I have been back and forth with my faith and the last year I was getting closer to Jesus. Than got involved with someone who strayed me away and have been blaming myself for the sins I’ve committed. A few days ago I was having nightmares and having very negative thoughts and felt myself drowning in those thoughts of shame, guilt, and that I’m a horrible person. I opened up my Bible and cried out to Jesus to not abandon me, to heal me, screaming to him. Suddenly, my mind went quiet and I heard a gentle but uplifting voice that wasn’t mine say “get up”. My thoughts disappeared, I obeyed. Got up and went for a walk. I knew then that it was God. Since then I’m still grieving but I know God is with me. Will never forget this moment.
