My cycles of depression began in college and turned me into a very pessimistic person. I was always obsessed with negative thoughts and failures around my life. People tried to help me but I would create this wall in front of me.

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 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 that even attempted suicide.

After receiving an invitation to attend Fridays 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’ve got 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!
