Exiting the Maze

by Nathan Cole

There is a solution to every problem. All it takes is a higher perspective. I am living proof that God can resolve the complexities of our internal challenges, and my journey has persuaded me that no matter what brokenness we experience in our lives, He has the power to make us whole again. All we have to do is look up. For years, I struggled with obsessive-compulsive thinking and behavior. I was paralyzed by irrational fear and plagued by intense psychological torment. Traversing through twisted mazes of broken logic, I eventually surrendered to the only Hope I had ever known. In the midst of darkness and confusion, I found the Light, and God revealed once again His undeniable power to deliver souls, transform thinking, and change lives forever.

I appreciated reading Nathan's earnest internal thoughts and struggles with OCD - there was a lot I could relate with personally, and as I've been talking with more people I realize that these types of struggles are more common than we think, but hard to identify because they're internal, mental battles and not always outwardly evident. Reading about God's redemption in the midst of it was also a huge encouragement!
