I used to suffer from anxiety. It was so bad that I was drowning in fears and worries. I would often break down in tears and experience massive panic attacks both day and night. I would shake, and my knees would feel numb.

This was all from years of struggles and trials. My health was getting worse due to this mental and physical state. Doctors wanted to prescribe me antidepressants, which are very addictive and difficult to live without after finishing the course.

I decided to fight it with God. I knew it would be hard. I asked my wife to pray for me, and we listened to Pastor Prince’s sermons about rest and the Holy Spirit. He also emphasized the importance of partaking of the Holy Communion, even receiving it daily.

After more than a year of doing this while not losing faith and patiently waiting, I felt some relief after a short prayer when we went to church one day. After church that day, my wife told me she had the feeling that anxiety was no longer chained to me. I said, “I hope in Jesus’ name that you are right.” I went home, took a shower, and began to sing praises to the Lord. I felt renewed and cleansed. I came out with tears all over my face and said to my wife, “Yes, I am free indeed.”

God made me understand that even if I had to see doctors or undergo surgeries, He would be with me. Whichever dark alley or winding road I encounter in life, He will hold me by my right hand. It might hurt, but I will never be alone, and He will help me recover from any physical or mental problem.

I can’t describe how relieved I was, and at the same time, I felt upset that it took me more than a year to understand this. I am and will be forever thankful to our God and His work through Pastor Prince. His sermons about rest and breakthrough touched me deeply, and now I am righteous through Christ Almighty. Hallelujah!
