I lost my ah ma (Hokkien for grandmother) over two years ago. She was the most important person in my whole life. I felt orphaned and completely alone in the world even though I still had people who loved me.

I couldn’t wait for God to take me home because I had lost my sense of purpose in life. My eyes kept seeing evil around me, and my heart grew hard and cold. I had lost the vision that I used to have with God. People suggested that I see a counsellor, eat better, exercise and journal, amongst other things. I tried everything, but nothing changed.

It would take me hours to fall asleep, only to wake up in the middle of the night and have to wait for another hour before I was tired enough to sleep again.

For two years, I simply tried to get through each day, and sometimes I even had to tell myself to take it one hour at a time. There was nothing to look forward to.

Then, on Sunday, 15 October, I attended the 11.30am service at The Star Performing Arts Centre. Pastor Prince was just about to go into the Word when he paused and mentioned that there was someone in the congregation who had been experiencing depression and grief due to the loss of someone very important, and he declared that the day of deliverance and restoration was coming.

I was completely caught off guard when Pastor Prince said that. My tears just kept falling. God’s presence flowed in like an unstoppable force. I could feel the dark cloud lifting away for the first time.

I clung to Pastor Prince’s words, and gradually, I felt a renewed sense of freedom. On my drive home, for the first time in over two years, I could envision a purposeful and free future for myself.

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for your faithfulness to God and being a vessel for His people.
