"Whoever loses his life.."

Heard this song in the shower & started crying b/c God is so awesome! For many years i have struggled with fear, worry, and stress. Trying to figure everything out, trying to please this person, worried about opinions,& just trying to control everything. Since im such a private person it often tended to be a secret battle-to afraid let someone see me at a weak point or to know i too have weaknesses. Within the last couple months w/all God is doing, transitions&changes going on and just life itself,anxiety and worry for me went to a new level. I was literally to the point of exhaustion mentally and physically. The last couple weeks i was struggling  b/c i felt like i was losing control, i felt like i was sinking & my faith had started to waiver. I kept feeling like a crushing heaviness inside, but of course i kept it to myself. One day last week i woke in the middle of the night w/such a heaviness and saddness on me that i slid out of bed and began praying. I was crying&the Holy Spirit took over the prayer. The very next day my friend (who i told nothing to about what was going on )out the blue loving spoke TRUTH&told me i was not about to die where i was! She said dont let pride take me outta here by not allowing myself to open up to people who God has sent to help me. She even brought to my attention how everything was starting 2 effect my body(extreme weigthloss ect) which i honestly didnt recognize.God had been telling me to let go & trust him and to let go of control. Guess that was my wake up!My eyes were opened to exactly what stressing /worring was actually doing to me and how satan had been robbing me of my peace/joy & how i had let him! Last week i made up my mind to finally LET GO and LET GOD! To get out the way&trust God in all areas.And as a result these past couple of days have been like brand new! Like a sweet peace in God! Understand, stress/worry is a slow&silent killer.You cannot go thru life suppressing everything.Dont let ur pride cost you ur life! You better talk to someone. I will tell you what a wise person said to me "not everone is trying to hurt you!" Futhermore you dont have 2 figure it all out, give it to Jesus &trust him!#RESTORATION
