Me and God: It’s Complicated But Getting Better

May 20, 2025

I would be lying if I said God has always been a part of my life and healing journey. Heck, if I said that, I know he would look down and give me the “side-eye” like, “girl, why are you lying?” But the truth is, while I have always believed in God, I was stubborn and thought I did not need him that much. I grew up in a Baptist church and always knew of him, but having a deep and meaningful relationship with him was not for me. I prayed when I needed to pray, sometimes when I ate, when something terrible happened, when I needed a miracle, things like that. I read the Bible when I was in church, and nothing else. My relationship with God was on a surface level, and it has been something I continue to work on as I navigate life. But I’ve found that deepening my faith has become a source of comfort and reassurance in my healing journey.
