Dedication

I dedicate this book to Pastor Kelly Hadlich. I am so thankful for how God has used you in my life from the third grade, through my adolescent to teen years, adult, and even unto this present day. You have been such an amazing example of God’s love and tender mercies. You have been like a father to me and I am eternally grateful for your prayers, spiritual guidance, and the biblical truths you taught me in youth group. Thank you for never giving up on me even in my darkest days. Your enduring example of God’s unfailing love has been a balm of gilead to my shattered heart. Thank you for your encouragement and willingness to keep track of this wayward child. You are truly an example of what it means to shepherd.

I love you Kelly and can think of no one else in my life that has shown me the consistent love of Jesus.

Introduction

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)

It was a tipping point for me. A day much like any other, in which I had gone to church and left feeling dismayed. Not because of any outward circumstance but because of the consistent inner battle that plagued my existence. I remember crying out to God. The life described in His word was not the life I was experiencing. Instead of peace that surpassed all understanding; I suffered from anxiety. An anxiety so crippling that it kept me silent and hidden. I never felt truly accepted and social settings were torturous and cruel. I kept having thoughts that nobody wanted me and that I was not truly a child of God. What made things worse was that I knew what God’s word said. That left an empty nagging hole in my identity in Christ. Was I truly saved? Did I honestly belong to God? Why did I feel so condemned and why did I live in fear?

After all, I was very involved in church. I loved God and faithfully studied His word. I followed after Him with my whole heart and wanted only to please Him. I read every book that I could and sought Godly counsel. I
