In the past, I didn’t believe in God, but recently I was baptized. My mother-in-law is not a Christian but supported me in becoming a Christian. We were both watching your channel when you invited us for a prayer. And she lifted up her hands and prayed with you. I was very surprised and impressed. You are making really good and effective programs. The Lord works in places you cannot always see."

A day in the life of someone who is struggling with severe depression can feel lonely and hopeless. However, God never leaves us or forsakes us. He is always with us through every struggle and challenge we face. Rebecca from Iran shared with SAT-7 how her life has been transformed from severe depression to a life of hope with God.
“I used to have severe depression, and I saw myself as being completely alone,” Rebecca shared. “I could see that my problems were beyond any human being to solve and believed that only my creator could help me.”
Rebecca knew there was more to life than living in depression and loneliness. She leaned on God to show her the way. “I cried out to Him and told Him that I wanted to see Him. I confessed that I was lost without Him and heading for destruction.” God wants us to cry out to Him. He wants us to surrender to Him so that He can continue to work in our lives for His kingdom.
“In that moment, there was a miracle, and the Lord whispered that He was inside me. That was about seven years ago, and I thank God that my life has been transformed, and through Jesus, the Spirit of the Lord has been granted to me,” Rebecca said. Even when life seemed dark, Rebecca chose God. Through Him alone, anything is possible.
Please continue to pray for viewers like Rebecca, who are faced with challenges each day living in a country where Christians are persecuted. Rebecca’s testimony is proof that God is at work in the Middle East and North Africa.
