Egyptian woman guided to god and his power
“I’ve tried many times to have a relationship with God, but I have failed,” said Mirna, a SAT-7 ARABIC viewer from Egypt. “If I feel hungry for God, why can I never find Him? Does this mean that God has rejected me?”
Mirna’s disappointment and frustration prompted her to reach out to our Viewer Support team, where she received a warm welcome, a listening ear and biblical wisdom.
“I’ve been trying to know God better, but I feel like I keep starting over,” Mirna explained. “Spiritually, I feel like I’m going round in circles and returning to square one.”
Our Viewer Support team sympathised with Mirna and affirmed her desire for a relationship with the Lord. Over the course of several lengthy conversations, our team prayed with her, encouraged her to cultivate an active prayer life and meditate on God’s Word.
Mirna was keen to put everything into practise. “I will start taking these steps, but please pray for my perseverance,” she said. “I’ve been trying to commit to spending time with the Lord, even when I’m at work or on public transport, or when I’m alone, I talk to Him… I appreciate your teaching and prayers for me. I am truly grateful.”
“SIGNIFICANT CHANGE”
The changes were small at first. “For the past three or four days, I’ve been committed to my quiet time with the Lord, and I was able to pray with less distraction,” Mirna said. “There was also a difficult situation that happened in the past couple of days, and I found peace within me.”
As Mirna continued to interact with our Viewer Support team and exercise her faith, she started reaping the rewards. “I want to testify that I am truly experiencing a power from God that I have never felt before,” she said. “Since I started walking on my path with God, there has been significant change.”
God’s power swept through different areas of Mirna’s life, impacting her desires as well as her actions. “Many struggles and addictions in my life were hard to stop; now, I can easily say no,” she shared.
As she continues to grow in her relationship with God, Mirna still experiences setbacks, but trusts in His ongoing guidance and encouragement: “Sometimes I feel like I can’t continue, but God always sends me messages or people that encourage me,” she explained. “When I reach a dark place, I feel His light in the darkness telling me to keep going.”
