direction. I had nights I could not sleep, I stayed up for hours thinking and crying when things weren’t going well for me. I was selfish and always thinking about myself. I had a negative view of others and I always thought they wanted to attack me. My relationship with my family was not going well. I was not happy at all.

I saw God as my God, but I wanted to know Him in a special way. I attended church occasionally and read the bible, but never understood what I was reading. I was also following the wrong path. I had a relationship with someone of the same gender, which I knew was not right according to the Bible. Deep within I knew it wasn’t my decision, because I knew that one day I will get married to someone of the opposite gender. I was looking for a way to end the relationship without hurting the other person, but it was so difficult.

At a certain moment my life turned heavy. Even though I was doing my best nothing was working out for me. My sister called me one day and told me that the pastor had prayed for my situation. It was through their prayers that God opened my eyes and freed me from following the wrong path. The Lord made a way to end the relationship.

After which my life changed completely. Now I am in control of my decision, especially with my studies. He revealed Romans 5:3 to me and this scripture helped me through hard times. I was reminded of this scripture every time I got into a difficult situation and it gave me peace and hope. I found out that with God things are easier. The Lord has used me to help others.

This happened when my school mentor called and told me that a student was sick and if I could help him. I was ready to do great work for the Lord. So I called my sister and told her to come with me and bring the anointing oil. We prayed for the student, we ask for healing and peace of mind in the name of Jesus. The following day I texted him to see how he was doing and he told me that he was not sick anymore and that he had peace. This made me hunger for more of the things of God and helps my faith get stronger. Now I am a daughter of the God and I know now that He is real and He is God. I have a great hunger to know God. I want to keep on growing spiritually and have a supernatural relationship with God. Jesus is the Almighty.
