"I keep losing everything I have"

Before, I thought the struggles I was facing were purely physical and just a normal part of life, but I later came to understand things differently.

All my suffering began when I was 11 years old. I witnessed my father hurting my mother, and he almost killed her because of a mistake she had made. My parents eventually separated, and this became one of the most traumatic experiences of my life.

Later, I developed a health problem that forced me to stop studying because of my illness.

I found a job, but I lost it. I found another job, but I lost that one too. During that time, I kept wondering, “I’m hardworking, so why do I keep losing everything I have?”

I also experienced heartbreak. I entered a relationship, but because I had done something wrong, he left me. This brought me so much humiliation and pain. I endured these struggles for almost 10 years.

Everything began to change when I was invited to the Universal Church. There, I came to understand my struggles from a spiritual perspective.

When I understood that the Lord Jesus could change my life, I believed in Him. I followed Him and put my faith into practice. Through this journey of faith, I found freedom from the problems and struggles I had been facing for so many years.
