I went to my sister's private college because she said I should come and listen to this speaker. My friend was going to and I was going through hell. I had been locked up for a few days, beat up, abused, etc...I went "why not? I'm at rock bottom. I have nothing to lose".
As he was speaking, I felt like he was speaking to me so I started talking to my friend to try and shake it off. That didn't help.
He said "If anyone is in trouble or wants to give their burdons to the Lord, walk up here and let Him take it." Some more stuff. My sister nudged me and I said "ok fine but {friend} is coming too then." So she did. The minute the deacon put his hand on my shoulder I fell to my knees crying. I've never cried so much in my life. Not sad crying but like every negative feeling was being drained from me. He was praying and God heard him.
God finally got my attention there. I stood up and everything was different. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me. I felt so much peace and I wanted to keep on living again. I wish I remembered that speakers name (I know he's well known) but I can't. That night though, God really used him and I have a better life now. God uses me and walks with me. I never get in trouble anymore and I hate vulgarity.
Let Him in.
