Prayer With Heart-Prayer Relay Testimony

Although this past Friday's prayer relay was not my first encounter with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and neither was it my first prayer relay at all. I experienced something I hadn't experienced before. This time in prayer with The Lord, I found something new. I found peace with God, peace with myself, and total trust in Him. After my many years of struggles and pain I have come to terms with my past and have come to truly be excited about my future. I know that I am not perfect and that I may never be, but with God's help I can be the best I can be. From seeing my testimony from almost two years ago and who I was talking about how much I had grown and how much God had changed me, I figured, "wow, that girl doesn't know anything, if she only knew what she has coming." And probably in the future looking back to now, I will see that I don't know anything either. I am determined to take a journey with The Lord and see where he takes me. Getting a chance to get prayed over and to sleep in the church really touched my heart. It released stress and brought me even further to this state of peach which I am in. I have a lot of faith because I know that Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament can change lives as He has changed mine. Experience Christ in true Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity and experience a special beauty which feels a lot like Heaven on earth. I was so happy and so proud to see my fellow young people at this event and I hope that they were touched that night as I was. It was amazing to see new faces as well as familiar faces and returning faces. I know that God will work in you. I noticed that Cecilia noticed that we used the term "church friends" a lot in our testimonies including myself. I would like to correct myself and say I am so glad I have a church family, an incredible family in Christ that I love very much. I pray a lot for my fellow brothers and sister in Christ. That they may get to truly know and truly love God. I love you all, please pray for me!

In Christ through His Blessed Mother,
