At the beginning of 2022, I was probably close to my lowest point. I felt like I’d lost all hope, I wasn’t investing in my faith and, in all honesty, didn’t think God was even listening to me.
After having just left my uni course for the second time, I was working in a cafe and through family connections got connected to a bible study group in the Navigators. When I turned up at the door of someone I didn’t know, I realised I was desperate to rediscover God in my life. The openness and vulnerability I witnessed amongst the group members and the leader was incredible and something I hadn’t experienced in a long time. All of a sudden, I remembered how integral authenticity and honesty is as a Christian: when we are authentic to God and others, that is when we are fully known, seen and loved.
A year and a half later, it dawned on me: that was what I was looking for the whole time without realising it. I hadn’t been specifically praying to see God in my life again, but He knew what I needed and gave it to me through that group. I am now so thankful to God for gracefully providing this when I didn’t deserve it (especially after neglecting my faith in Him for 3/4 years).
Now I spend every day of my life giving thanks to God and seeking His voice and
guidance in everything I do. I love the Lord and know that He is my provider!
