For the past twenty years, I suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder where I would have awful intrusive thoughts that I could not control. I was obsessed with performing religious rituals as I was fearful of God’s judgment. I was desperate to please God and put in a lot of effort in a bid to make Him love me. This preoccupation became so tormenting that I had a breakdown. I became so ill that I prayed my life would end.

At that lowest point, I discovered the gospel of grace. I had previously watched Pastor Prince on television, but did not truly grasp the message. It was only when I was at my wits’ end that I truly understood.

For the first time in my life, I felt I had nothing to offer God and was able to fully receive His grace. Putting aside my theology, good deeds, and own knowledge about God, the grace of God was the one thing that kept me from ending my own life.

A year has passed since I received His healing grace in the time of my breakdown. I still experience the symptoms, but they have become less frequent. I go to therapy and take medication and now serve as an advocate for others with the same disorder.

Most of all, I am experiencing the healing grace of Jesus that is mending the brokenness and binding up the old wounds in my life. Jesus is healing my memories and rebuilding my mind. He gives to me joy that I previously was not able to have. I cannot be more thankful for His grace in my life.

I want to thank Pastor Prince and everyone involved in this ministry. This ministry has enabled me to listen to the gospel of grace and experience shalom peace.

Thank you so much.
