Overwhelmed by depression

“I was abused as a child. I stayed with my aunt and cousins because I had no parents. My cousins physically and sexually abused. I suffered a great deal.

At the age of 19, I got married to escape the abuse from home. Things were going well between my husband and I until he became controlling. He beat me up and that made me angry and bitter because it reminded me of my painful past. I did not want history to repeat itself so, I filed for divorce.

I was unemployed and struggled to make ends meet. I depended on my relatives to survive. I plunged into depression and I contemplated to die. I did not see a reason to live. I sought professional help. I was given medication but that did not help. I also struggled to sleep at night and had to rely on sleeping tablets.

The Universal Church members were evangelising in my neighbourhood and they invited me to the church. They told me that God could change my life. I accepted the invitation and went to attend the service. I was prayed for and I felt very light. For the first time I was confident that God would change my life.

Through attending the chains of prayers for my deliverance from depression and suicidal thoughts, I was delivered completely. I also committed my life to God.

I am freed from depression and suicidal thoughts. I forgave my cousins and ex-husband for the pain they put me through. Today, I live a peaceful life and I do not lack anything,” said Rosie.
