What's My Story
From worry to peace
Julie Buckingham
As an adult, someone introduced my husband and I to the occult and used a ouijah board in our house. After this, I became very afraid in the house and I was wondering if visiting a Doctor would help - but then they would only give me anti-depressants and this was not the answer. I felt so alone and frightened, I didn't know where to turn for help
I remembered as a child saying the Lord's Prayer and I started to say this every day. I felt an amazing peace in my mind and all the fear left me. I felt free of this fear I had experienced. We stopped messing around with the things that had caused all this trouble in the first place. Some time later a friend invited my husband and I to church and there was a woman at the church who shared how receiving eternal life meant sharing our problems with God - and He would help us. We decided we wanted this for ourselves - we had never heard about it before
On the same day I decided to receive eternal life, my life was changed - the worry I had felt all my life seemed to have disappeared. When I went to bed, instead of thinking about the day and finding it hard to relax, I drifted off into a peaceful sleep - it was amazing
This was around 20 years ago now, and although I have had challenges to face, I know that God is right there with me and that He is helping me to overcome all of these things. I feel peace about the future because I know God has a plan and a purpose for me - all I need to do is to follow Him
I am no longer afraid of death, I have peace because I know for certain that I will be in heaven - because of what Jesus did on the cross - and I know for sure that I am loved and accepted by God because of what Jesus did
