Stop Suffering ISSUE018 | Page 11

When I came to the church, I had problems within myself. I was very depressed, anxious, worried about the future of what’s going to happen next. I had a lot of pressure from my family to do good in school. But outside with my friends, I was outgoing and energetic but when I’m by myself, I cry and feel empty. By attending Friday meetings, I broke free from the emptiness and depression. Today, I’m serving God. Danae Felipe Toronto, ON Before I didn’t have my own personality. I just follow the crowd to please people and adapt to their ways. I was also a deceiving person. I would pretend to be nice to authority figures but I would end up disrespecting them. I was paranoid, anxious, and had a psychotic mind. After committing to the Friday services, I am free from the psychotic thoughts. Now I’m not a crowd pleaser, I only please the Lord. Latajah Levy Toronto, ON I suffered with sleepless nights. Due to my work, I didn’t usually sleep at night. One day, I was in my place of work and the radio was on, through the radio program, I heard about the church. I came to the Help Centre and participated in the services. I did the Chain of Prayer on Fridays and I started to see results. Today, I sleep very well during night. Franklyn Wilson STOP SUFFERING|11
