Summary
SummaryIโm Kristen Walker Smith ๐. When pregnancy reignited childhood grief, my trust in God shattered. Terror flooded in, spiralling into severe **OCD**โendless hand-washing, isolation, raw bleeding hands. For seven long years I begged God to remove the thorn ๐ช๏ธ, yet heard only silence. Then ๐ *2 Cor 12:9* leapt off the page: *โMy grace is sufficient โฆ my strength is made perfect in weakness.โ* Something shiftedโI chose to see my weakness as the doorway to Jesusโ power. God led me to the right therapist ๐ฉบ and, humbly, to medication that opened a precious two-second gap where I could choose faith over compulsion. Today I live joyfully, hands lifted in freedom ๐. OCD still knocks, but Christโs relentless love anchors meโand He can anchor you too! โ๏ธ๐
