The Black Drape

Two weeks ago, I visited a church called Michigan Park Christian Church and they had a guest speaker and his name is Rev, Dr. James Forbes and his message was about the black drape. The black drape was anything negative that consumes us. For example, the black drape could be anxiety, depression or substance abuse. His whole message was that even though we have the black drape over us, God can extinguish the black drape for good. God can extinguish the drape but we need to do our part too. Our part is that we need to pray and give our worries and troubles to the Lord and He will handle everything. People always say that they have bad days but in reality the situations in life sometimes throws you a curveball or multiple of them and you don't know how to handle those curveballs but God is still the greatest and He doesn't want us to move backwards, He wants us to always be pushing forward. Let the past be the past. Let the present be the correction of our mistakes. Be a champion and help somebody else find their inner champion. Bring someone out of their darkness and into the light. Rise up from your pitfalls of your despair and seek God and you will be rewarded greatly with riches (not only money).
