Deepak's Story

My name is Deepak, I am 29 years old. I grew up in an orphanage in India. I was adopted and moved here to the United States when I was 8.  As I grew older, I started to suffer from depression. I felt lost and broken. I had identity issues and viewed my life as being totally alone. This feeling got so bad I tried to commit suicide by drinking and driving into a tree.  By God’s grace, I walked away without a scratch and realized God had a plan for my life.  I needed help but didn’t know where to turn. My father told me about a Christ centered program called The Fix. After entering the Fix, I started to realize that I had a lot of things to work on.  I found the structure to be difficult because I still wanted to have control over my life.  I earned myself some time on discipline and through that I found out how much God loved me.  I learned what it is to receive Grace in my life and to give it.  I am learning what it is to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and let him take control and work on my character defects.  I am going on 7 months here with the Fix. I’m starting to see that I am not alone in the struggles I have and there is someone I can reach out to and that is Jesus Christ!

The verse I like to stand on is 1 Chronicles 17:13 “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you,”
