My Battle With God

My Battle With God

(A Journey Through Pain, Faith, and Surrender)

There was a time when everything felt like it was falling apart.

My body was tired, my mind was on fire, and my heart felt heavy.

I thought I was just sick. I couldn’t sleep. I was restless — awake through the night, replaying the same thoughts that refused to quiet down.

It felt like I was fighting invisible battles, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t win.

I prayed, but my prayers felt like they never reached heaven.

I cried, but the silence was deafening.

And in my frustration, I found myself asking,

“God, where are You in all this?”

The Breaking Point.

I didn’t realize it then, but I wasn’t fighting people, or circumstances —

I was fighting God.

Not out of disbelief, but out of pain.

Out of not understanding His timing or His way of healing.

I wanted peace without surrender.

I wanted the outcome without the process.

But healing doesn’t work that way.

Healing requires breaking.

It requires tearing down what’s been built on fear, pride, or pain —

so that something purer, stronger, and more rooted can rise in its place.

The Awakening

When I finally stopped fighting and started listening, everything began to shift.

It wasn’t overnight. It was slow. Gentle.

Like God whispering, “I was here all along.”

That battle — what I once thought was punishment — was actually purification.

God was stripping away everything that wasn’t meant to stay.

He was preparing me for peace.

For purpose.

For healing that goes beyond the body and reaches the soul.

The Lesson

If you’re in that season where everything feels wrong —

where your prayers feel unanswered and your strength feels gone —

know this:

You’re not being punished. You’re being refined.

You’re not losing. You’re being reshaped.

My battle with God taught me that surrender isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

It’s the moment when healing begins.

So if you’re fighting, pause.

Take a breath.

And whisper, “God, I’m ready.”

Because sometimes, the battle you think is against you is the one that’s building you.

🌿 From Pain to Purpose

Every drop of Legends of Hope was born from that surrender.

From learning that true healing doesn’t start in the body — it starts in the spirit.

These oils are a reminder that peace is possible, that healing is real, and that what was once broken can become whole again.
