God's strength is all I have

 Recently I have faced alot of mental, and heartwreching pain.  I almost thought at times that I was spiraling down into a nervous breakdown.  After many tears, dark days of depression.  I decided to give it all to God.  Not only has He delivered me from depression and pain, He has given me strength and newfound wisdom to help others in the same or worse conditions.  Oftentimes, Satan has tried to tell me to quit, but Praise God , God's Holy Spirit is always intervening and encouraging me.  The source of my pain was the fact that my daughter has been in jail.  She had began abusing prescription drugs and hanging around with people who were stealing to support thier habits.  She was with that person who had stolen credit cards, checks, and had cashed them to buy the drugs with.  Even though she didn't use the card or cash the checks, she was always with him.  I knew something was wrong with her but I could'nt pinpoint it.  I told her if she didn't ge back in church and turn her life back to God that she was going to face some hard times.  She has since then realized that God is all she has.  I reminded her of the time when she faced death in the eyes,(she had leukemia) and God delivered her.  Just as she has learned that God is all she has, I have also learned through this experience that God is truly all the strength I have to get through anything.
