I was born into a Christian household; went to church school; was baptized at age 10; and suffered from debilitating depression since the age of about six or seven. I walked away from God and Christianity and everything about it; Then walked back to Him with an ultimatum (Bible in hand)- “Either You help me, or I’ll walk away, again, for good!” Shortly afterwards, I surrendered to Him my whole heart and was re-baptized and have been on a healing journey ever since.
