Short vent, just had some stuff on my mind...

This week has been really great. I hadn't been in my word lately and I was just getting back into my word and drawing more near to God than ever.

But yesterday, Becka told me some private information about a friend of ours that had been cutting.

I broke down and cried. I care about this person like family and I wanted nothing to happen to them. I felt so helpless like there was nothing I could do. Perhaps one of the reasons I cared so much is because I had been through a similar situation.

I stayed up till 12 am just praying and reading the Bible. I tried to do what one of my youth pastor had mentioned. Flipping open your bible somewhere in the middle and just reading what's there.

Man, God is good. I flipped open the Bible and it opened on Psalm 23. I was like, "God, this isn't what I need." But as I read, one phrase really jumped off the page. 

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL

Whether it's a spirit of depression or cutting, or just Satan trying to disrupt the awesome plan God has for my friend's life, I will fear no evil, for he is with me.
