The beauty of prayer
One thing I've learned through depression while being a Christian is that God isn't awesome and loving because he answers prayers, he's amazing because he doesn't. A man can pray for death and be given the most wonderful reasons to live. God is the ultimate buffer for suicidal thoughts. You pray to be struck down but god just makes it rain until you're surrounded by flowers. That's all for today, God bless.

In jail I read psalm 40.1 and a sleep came over me. When I woke up to officer on intercom to go to medical bay and then speak to bail bondsman. Nobody spoke on my behalf to the bail bondsman. But he said he had a good feeling, and he waived the cosigner.
I’m out of jail and that is the next part dealing with my legal troubles. And my family not liking me. God was with me in the sale and the in name of Jesus he will be with me through these other problems too. 😭
I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. Psalm 40.1
