Surrendering to Grace
I lay on the floor not knowing if I could get through the night, if I could live one more day. My mind was so loud, having constant thoughts of the past, hearing words of hopelessness and stuck in a momentum of resistance to what was. I felt so much pain, my heart hurt, it felt like I had been stabbed in the heart and it wouldn’t go away. Would I stay like this forever? How long until this pain affecting all levels of my being would subside or go away? I felt like I had no strength left, I just wanted the pain to end. I started asking myself what was the meaning of life if there was so much suffering and pain? Why am I here? Is there purpose in this suffering? As I lay on the floor, I cried out loud “God if you really exist then I need you to help me right now!”. That was the last of my strength, my final request. I didn’t know if God or some higher power existed, but if there was any chance I would take it. I cried out those words, full of pure intent and completely surrendered. I felt my tense & weak body soften and surrender into the floor.

I just spent the last hour and a half crying to my mother for reasons she doesn't even know. She just assumed it was my severe depression acting up again like some rash flaring up. But I realized something, it didn't feel good. It felt upsetting. it honestly made me angry knowing that I had her unconditional love. The caring words she said only made me angrier. It's when I come to realize, in an over-psycho-analyzing way that don't want love, at least just simply handed to me. I may be grateful for it, somewhat, but I just can't shake the feeling for me that love shouldn't just be there.
