Daughter Delivered From Panic After Prayer
Pastor Prince, I chanced upon your teachings on the Internet toward the end of last year. Since then, my life has changed forever.
I have read your books, Destined To Reign and The Power of Right Believing. They revealed a very personal and non-judgmental heavenly Father to me. I learned that He loves me immensely, is interested in ALL aspects of my life, and is involved in every second of my life. Hallelujah!
It’s also encouraging to know about His abundant grace and gift of righteousness for me. I am learning to rest in His love and—like what you say—to believe and receive. I have also begun to let go, rest, and give all issues, no matter how small, to Him.
In December last year, I had the opportunity to practice what I had learned about resting in Him. I was in Mauritius for a holiday with my seven-year-old daughter. We chose to ride a catamaran that would take us 16km into the Indian Ocean. We had never done this before and I only realized how panicked my daughter was about the trip after we embarked on it.
She buried her head in my lap in tears, held on tightly to my arm, and was shaking. She also asked for her dad who wasn’t with us on the trip, and wanted to return to shore. No amount of reassuring could calm her down and almost all the tourists had become bothered by her. The captain even asked us to sit next to him but it didn’t help her feel better.
Then, it occurred to me that I had a Daddy in heaven who was in charge of everything and that I could bring this situation to Him. Previously, I would have thought this was too petty for God and that I should only approach Him with “big” issues. But I remembered your teaching about resting in God’s love, and decided to do so.
My daughter fell asleep as we approached the islands we were heading to. But God’s hand was evident on the return trip. Believe it or not, my daughter sat right up, peered into the water, and even started taking photographs! In her own words, she said to me, “Mom, I feel like I am a whole new person. I am no longer afraid.”
Praise Jesus! I nearly broke out into tears of pure gratitude toward God, but contained myself and just thanked Him over and over again till we reached the shore. Only God can do what He did for my daughter!
I am so in love with God and my Lord Jesus. And thank you for preaching the gospel, Pastor Prince! Your teachings have made God so real in my life. May He richly reward you for being His faithful servant! Praise Jesus!
