Depression healed, November 2009 Print

 

Who Sarah Lloyd
When November 2009

 

Before being prayed for at the healing room I had been suffering from bouts of depression and at times despair and high levels of anxiety which were affecting my ability to do a responsible job. I had been thinking I might have to take time off work or go to the Dr for medication. Two lovely ladies prayed with me. As they continued to pray one of them suggested that I lie down, so I did and they carried on praying. I experienced the most intense emotional pain and grief flowing out of me and then realised that I had some unforgiveness towards God. As I ‘forgave ‘God’ one of the ladies prayed for fear to leave me and I felt a big cloud lift off me. The ladies stayed with me and prayed for healing and peace. I felt joy bubble up from within me and laughed for the first time in ages. Before being prayed for I had felt so tired that I had almost gone home. As I left I felt so peaceful and full of energy.

Since then I have not experienced anxiety or depression and life is so much easier to live. God is so good!! I believe that the persistence of the two ladies and their willingness to listen to God and stick with me gave me the safety to endure the pain as it came away and their prayers enabled me to deal with the unforgiveness which was giving the fear an access point.

Physical healing is amazing and gives God glory but so does healing of invisible emotional and spiritual wounds. I am as transformed as if I had been healed physically because I could barely function before the prayer for healing and now I am able to function well and can do my job and do not need medication or counselling. Praise goes to God for His wonderful mercy and grace.

Also, I loved all the art and objects around the room, God used them and the words of the music playing to speak to me quite deeply. Thank you to those who exercised their creativity to create such a wonderful space.
