Book Cover & Preview Text
I awoke, it was 2:00 AM and I was frozen with FEAR. I could see out through the crack in the bedroom curtains, the moon was shining brightly. I wondered quietly to myself would there ever be an end in the heartache, confusion and daily pressure I was living in. As I lay there, the pressure became so intense I couldn’t remember what it was like NOT to feel the way I was feeling. For nights, weeks, months I seemed like YEARS I had awoke to a growing fear that seemed to be consuming my life.
Thoughts in the past of suicide were now being taken more seriously. As I considered why I had not done so already, the only reason I could hold on to was the love I had for my wife and family.
The thoughts of someone who does not know God, you say?
No, I was a Spirit filled Christian coming under the greatest attack Satan could place on my life.
Life Itself
I had allowed every area of my life to receive the scorn of Satan’s evil hand. I was now paying the price. The price seemed much too high to pay.
Peace was no longer a feeling. It was simply a word without feeling. The harder I tried to help myself, the more helpless I became. I finally began to realize I had sunk so deep in depression, I couldn’t seriously pray (talk to God). Though the inner desire of my heart was pure, the presence of God seemed beyond my reach.
My final cry came in the darkness of the night. It was the cry of Peter as he was walking on the water to meet Jesus, and taking his eyes off the Master, he began to sink to a certain death.
“JESUS, SAVE ME”
By this time I realized Satan was trying to destroy my life. It had now been about a year since I first knelt down on the cold cement of the living room floor and asked God to enter into every area of my life.
