"You're having contractions," said the nurse gently.My world stopped.Everything stopped.My heart raced.I checked my vitals. Stable.Heat filled my body as my eyes filled with tears. Instantly, my uncomplicated pregnancy had become complicated. It is our nature to feel fear, and in times of uncertainty when we don't immediately hear God's answer to our prayers, trusting Him becomes difficult. As Zuleyka knows, you can have the strongest relationship with Him but it could easily crumble when grief strikes, causing you to sink into a deep, dark depression. Grief is powerful, grief is scary, and grief can rip your confidence and light right out of you. But it doesn't have to destroy you. Follow Zuleyka as she lives through each stage of grief, suffers from suicidal thoughts, and comes out stronger than ever all through the power of God's love. In John 16:33 it says, "I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me. While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world." (CEV) If you're in the suffering stage, hoping to get to the cheering stage, or you're in need of scriptural insight and power in your life, this book can help. Within: My Mind, His Word shares Zuleyka's story intermingled with chapters discussing Biblical verses and God's Truth to help you strengthen your relationship with Him. At the end, she helps you go through the stages of grief using God's Word. Yes, we have to suffer in this world. But that suffering doesn't have to last. You can come out stronger than before and find God's light within you.
