The most profound change in my life that occurred by God’s grace was the immediate result of accepting Christ as my Lord and Savior. In my early young adult years, I suffered from severe anxiety and depression. It was so severe that I stopped leaving the house and performing daily, basic tasks.

I came to accept Jesus Christ into my heart as a result of my feelings of pain, anger, disappointment, and despair. The relationship with my father had become so bad that I truly hated him. I hated him to the point where I wanted to kill him, and kill myself. I went as far as believing that not everyone is going to make it to heaven, and perhaps hell was my destiny.

My Mother became a Christian just after I was born so some would say I was raised in the Church. The truth is that for many years Church was only the 2 hours a week I wouldn't curse in public. Until my late teens my faith was mainly based on fear and respect for a Creator. I was a skeptic and in my heart I would asked the question, "does God answer prayer?".

I do not have a defining moment or particular date when I accepted God as my Savior. I was raised a Catholic and went to Catholic school and I have always had some knowledge of who Christ was as well as a basic knowledge of the Bible. But when I was a teenager I became involved in a youth ministry at my friend's church and realized that God desired more from me than going to church and reciting prayers before bed.

I'm realizing more and more that what I CANNOT see is more real than what I CAN see. In a sense, God has allowed me to view my life in a supernatural manner, like I'm some kind of X-Men mutant or something. LOL Only He is not limited to a wheelchair, or even to human reasoning. He is above all things, and the privilege of being able to view circumstances from His viewpoint is both humbling and reassuring. The only reason I am confident in my faith is because my faith isn't in my ability to have faith. The object of my faith is the Lord. Plain and simple.
