“When you call to me and come to plead with me I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:12
Before I knew Jesus in a personal way, I was very prideful, controlling, and easily offended. I was not a very happy person. I was distant from people, even my husband and God. I was broken-hearted, weary and discouraged. These things manifested in my life in different ways: I was critical of my neighbors. I thought they should stay home and keep order, instead of visiting each other. Even when our children were grown adults and married, I was still telling them how to live their lives. I took offense to certain things that were said and harbored the hurt within me instead of letting go. This is how Satan held me in bondage.
One day, I came home from one of my many meetings, totally exhausted from carrying these heavy burdens and a sense of desperation took over. I fell to my knees and cried: “I need you God, please help me!” He heard my desperate plea, and I heard Him say: “Helen, humble yourself in the sight of the Lord.” I fell prostrate and began sobbing uncontrollably for what seemed a very long time. The moment I stopped, I experienced the most incredible overwhelming love. A healing love surged through me and God restored my heart.
