MY CONFLICTING
MIND WAS UPLIFTED
“I used to be very angry and was in constant
conflict with those around me. I would easily allow
people’s comments to affect me.
My mindset was negative so I would think that those comments were
against me. I was also very shy; I didn’t like to speak to people, or to
interact. Sometimes I didn’t believe in my capabilities or value myself. I
would also have disagreements whilst dating my husband, because we
would allow external issues to come into our relationship, and this would
affect us negatively.
LIFTED IN LOVE
THROUGH FAITH
“In December 2015, I took part in
a faith-related programme at the
UCKG HelpCentre for my love life. I
was required to gather all of my faith,
efforts and resources, and to launch
an attack on my problem, all in tireless
pursuit to achieve my love life goals.
I asked God for His will to be done
and I took this opportunity to REALLY
surrender my all.
I told Him to
do His will as I
believed God’s
plans are better
than mine”
In March 2016, I found out that the
person I was interested in at that
time was not who he said he was, and
had been lying and deceiving me for
months.
Firstly, I began to see changes in our relationship; we were able to sit
down and solve our problems together. Our relationship improved and we
decided to get married. Now I am calmer, I value myself and my thoughts
are no longer negative. I have a positive mindset. I have been investing
more professionally. I learnt to be more confident and value the different
areas of my life, including my marriage and my family. I have stability and
at work I always strive to give my best. Today, I am happy; my life was
lifted and I am looking forward to my future blessings.”

I cut off all contact with him
immediately and moved on, still
believing I would eventually find
the right person for me. I put all
of my trust in God.
I told Him to do His will as I believed
God’s plans are better than mine.
Sometime later, a friend spoke to me
about my now husband: Benjamin.
I agreed to be introduced to him. We
spoke the following week, and we really
hit it off.
In June, we started dating and in
November 2016, he proposed! We
went on to get married in November
2017.
It was my faith, perseverance and
determination that brought me my
husband; I was lifted to a level where
my pursuit to finding love was met and
fulfilled.”

SESSIONS

I got introduced to the UCKG HelpCentre through my husband, whilst
we were dating. He had been attending the meetings for some time
and I decided to come with him as a way of occupying my time. I wasn’t
interested, neither did I want to commit; however, as time passed I was
listening to the messages and I began to learn and identify things that
didn’t allow me to be happy with myself. From then onwards, I decided to
change and focus on what I had to improve in myself.
Can’t wait until Good Friday? Need to talk to someone now? Why not give us a chance, we
