"Since I Believed" Text

I don't feel much has changed since I believed in Yeshua (Jesus). My health has not changed. This arthritis has not gotten better. Actually, things have gotten worse. I still struggle with physical and emotional pain. I still struggle with depression. I still struggle with strongholds. I am asking the Lord to break those. I still deal with a lot. Those are the ways I am the same. I never prayed at all. Now, I pray every day. I pray about everything good and bad. I ask for forgiveness every day. I commit to the Lord every day. I never used to read the Bible. Now, I read or listen to the Word every day. At least a little every day. I didn't used to think it mattered what I said, what I thought, or what I watched. Now, I try to be careful what I say, what I think, and what I watch. I try to be careful what I hear and listen to. I used to hold on to grudges. Now, I choose to forgive even if emotionally I don't want to. I used to be so focused on me and how I felt. I still focus on how I feel but it is not my only focus. I will always be overly emotional. I used to feel empty, broken, and meaningless. Now, I feel I have a purpose. I guess I changed more than I thought. My life is still full of constant pain. I always feel tired and sick. I still choose to believe in Yeshua (Jesus). I want to follow Him. I want to honor Him. I want Yeshua (Jesus) as my Lord and Savior.
