For over 50 years, I had suffered with depression, anxiety and panic. I became an alcoholic at an early age, developed disordered eating and was hospitalized twice. I have always had a heart of service, I and was constantly searching for God or something that had real meaning outside the mundane.

This thrusted me full steam into the new age movement. I would have brief periods of peace and hope, only to be completely disillusioned. It was a labyrinth leading to a dead-end. I felt hopeless and functioned in a sort of purgatory of not wanting to live, and not wanting to die.

Then A Miracle!

In one of my darkest moments, I had the insight to reach out and have a friend pray for me. As she prayed, I was literally engulfed by an indescribable cloud of holiness, a radiant glory that awakened within me an unconditional love and connection with the Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach – Jesus Christ.

This was such a remembered, instinctive and eternal knowing. I cannot adequately describe in words what that kind of ‘Love’ is. His spirit realized within me, an instantaneous connection with the God I had been searching for my entire life. I knew within those moments that my search was over and that I would never be alone or experience darkness, depression or anxiety again.

Now, years later, I have a life that is purpose-driven in Christ.

This has been so life-altering, I felt a need to share this story, offering all those that read these words, hope in Jesus Christ!

If your heart is being stirred, you can call on Him now:
“Yeshua (Jesus), I believe You died for my sins and rose again.
I turn from my sin and come to You. Please forgive me, cleanse me, and make me new. I receive You as my Lord and Savior.
Lead me in Your way.”

Amen.
