John 3:16 tells us that whoever believes in Jesus shall have everlasting life. This personal essay shares how God was with the author during a difficult time in their life.
 We often look for God in times of need, but what about when it seems like the world is spinning out of control? For me a 14-year-old girl, that’s exactly what happened. I was awakened in the middle of the night by my father and stepmother, who were violently fighting up and down the house. Despite the chaos around her,  I felt terrified. This is my story.

I had been living with my father and stepmother off and on a couple times since my parents divorce. The three had an unusual relationship at best, so when I awoke to the sounds of her father and stepmother fighting in the middle of the night, I knew something was very wrong.

As they made their way through the house—pounding on walls and screaming profanities—I lay in her bed trembling with fear. But as soon as I closed my eyes, she felt a sense of peace wash over her. In that moment, she knew didn't know God was—watching over and protecting her even in such a frightening situation. She believed in God but didn't fully understand a relationship with him.

 It can be difficult to recognize God's presence during troubling times—especially if we're running scared or feeling overwhelmed by life's circumstances. I didn't know then how important God was in my life.  However, as I got older I developed a loving relationship with God, as you will see in future blog posts.
