^{I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. – psalm 121:1-2} 

^{People often acknowledge the strength that has been portrayed through my life . It takes a lot of strength to carry yourself through mental suffering. To find the strength to maintain yourself in your recovery journey, and to participate in daily activities.} 

^{In this post I want to share where I found the strength the past few years: in His presence. You need to learn to recharge yourself in His presence. See yourself as a battery and his presence as a charger. Stay in His presence until you feel strengthened enough. During tough seasons I found myself days following each other abiding in his presence.} 

^{There are different ways to spend time in the presence of the Lord. I achieve this by listening to worship. Other people achieve this by spending time in complete silence, and focusing on the Lord. Another option is through prayer. Your relationship with the Lord should be personal and in that you’ll find what is best in your communication with Him.} 

^{Whenever you feel worn out by your mental battles, I encourage you to spend time in his presence and let him recharge you. Ask the Lord to strengthen you and see how He will show up. He will strengthen you in such a way that you’ll look back to seasons in your life and will be amazed by the strength you had.} 

^{I want you to remember that you’re never alone, you can acknowledge His presence at any time of the day. And He will give you the strength you need.} 

^{Don’t give up,} 

^{Christ and I are rooting for you.} 

^{Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7}
