Before Jesus Changed My Life
Before becoming a Christian I was stuck searching for meaning and fulfillment in all the wrong places, one of which being money. I felt that if I was able to make enough money, I would no longer have any problems, and life would be easier. I also had a lot of anxiety due to not knowing what was to come in my future and not having a set meaning in life. I felt like I was just living to live, and there wasn't much to it.
How Jesus Changed My Life
I gave my life to Christ because I was struggling with anxiety and a feeling of hopelessness. I have a close friend who was constantly encouraging me to grow closer to God and I ended up picking up a Bible and reading it one night. That night was like a switch, and all the anxiety and worry went away. It felt like someone was there with me, offering me a hand to take the burdens off my shoulders. One verse that has stuck with me is Philippians 4:6, where it talks about not being anxious and presenting your requests to God. This verse has helped me a lot by allowing me to let God help resolve my anxiety.
My Life After Jesus Saved Me
Since giving my life to Jesus I have been able to find all the meaning and fulfillment I need through following Jesus Christ. I no longer have any worry about where my life will take me or what is next in life for me, because I fully believe Jesus is walking through this life with me, and he is there every step of the way. I find hope in Jesus Christ and turn to my Bible and prayer when I am in a time of need. I now know I have eternal life through Jesus Christ because of his sacrifice and my faith in him.
