I lived like this for over 10 years and I could see my life being literally wasted. Attempting to find a reason for life, I tried to balance all that by dedicating myself to work.

As a teacher I couldn’t concentrate on the job; I wasn’t eating properly and trying to curb my insomnia, I started drinking every night to see whether I could get some sleep.

Inside my chest there was a very strange feeling like I was in total darkness. I felt like a big void with a mixture of fear and anxiety was in me and I even attempted suicide.

After receiving an invitation to attend Friday Prayer Meetings at the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), I noticed how the Pastor seemed to know my problems. I mean, during the services, it was like he knew me!

For the first time someone ‘understood my language’ and I was told to start a Chain of Prayer.

Now I have a good job that I really enjoy, I sleep well at night and feel like a new person. Those old symptoms are out of my life! I have new energy and a positive outlook for the future.

Whenever I come across someone who is going through hard times, I always point him or her towards the Church. I tell them that making a Chain of Prayers on Fridays and attending Sunday morning services at the UCKG will definitely pave the way for a new life.

If God helped me when I decided to practice what He says, He can help anyone who decides to do the same!
