Trading desperation for hope

“At just 11 years old, I faced the heartbreaking loss of my mother. With no one to support me, I struggled to navigate life on my own. When I finished school, I was determined to succeed and sought quick ways to make money, hoping to change my circumstances. I ventured into online trading, pouring all my efforts into my pursuit of overnight success. 

I once invested my entire salary and went for days without eating, only to end up losing everything. Months of trying resulted in a complete financial loss and I became increasingly desperate for wealth. I followed every piece of advice I could find on making quick money, but nothing worked. This led me to feelings of discouragement and hopelessness.

Even when I was surrounded by friends, I felt overwhelming sadness and loneliness. 

My life was falling apart, and I started having suicidal thoughts. I could not sleep well at night and constantly thought that it would be better if I died.

I was invited to the Universal Church, where I learned that success is like a seed that you plant and wait while it grows, to reap the fruits one day. That was when I understood that I could not expect overnight success, and that  becoming prosperous is a process. I had to use my faith, and in time, God would answer.

I decided to continue attending services and making my chain of prayers for my finances. I gave my life to God and surrendered all my anxiety and worries to Him. I lost my insatiable hunger for quick payouts and learned to use intelligent faith to prosper.

God blessed me with a good job as a manager. I have a good life and I am happy.

However, the greatest blessing was to receive God’s Spirit inside me because He gave me peace and assurance from within.

I am no longer stressed or worried because I know that God is in control of my life. I am no longer anxious to make quick money but rather seek to have the plenitude of God in my life.

I used to invest in places that never had any return. When I invested my life in God’s hands, He took care of me and blessed me.

I have peace and I'm happy because I know that God is by my side.” said Tally.
