Summary

I was once engulfed in a darkness that I struggled to escapeβ€”a time filled with fear, overwhelming trauma, and the heavy burden of my past New Age lifestyle. I faced the raw reality of surviving a terrorist attack and the ensuing emotional chaos, where I’d wake with a crushing heaviness and panic. In a desperate prayer, I pleaded with God to either rescue me or grant me a completely new life. A few days later, while casually watching a YouTube channel in my room, a woman appeared speaking about the covenant relationship with the Lord. In that pivotal, almost surreal moment, waves of love and peace washed over me, and I knew without a doubt that Jesus was real. The love and healing of Jesus broke through the terror and despair that had long gripped my heartβ€”lifting my pain and transforming my life. Now, I share my story so that others can see that even from the depths of trauma and fear, genuine healing, hope, and transformation in Jesus are possible. I encourage anyone struggling with deep wounds or overwhelmed by life’s adversities to cling to the truth that the Savior is here to renew every part of us.
