Let me share with you how terrible my mind was before I began studying the Bible.
I paid attention to every detail, even the negative words people said and my mind would whisper, “It’s you they are talking about.”
I couldn’t sustain long-term friendships because there was always something suspicious about people. My mind would tell me, “You don’t need them; they can hurt you.”
Whenever I heard other people’s opinions, I would start battling within myself, trying to interpret their words and convincing myself that they weren’t for me.
These thoughts and patterns stayed with me for a long time until I began studying and meditating on God’s Word.
I realized that I needed to feed on the Bible as if it were a physical meal- something essential for my survival. And honestly, studying the Bible can sometimes feel “boring” to the human mind, like a meal that only a few people truly enjoy.
But for me, coming out of the mud meant I had to hear God more than I heard men. So I began to study deeply and consistently, until the Bible, the Holy Spirit Himself began to speak back to me.
I opened Chapter Two with a short story about what I kept hearing and how I began to overcome my struggles through His Word.
