I’ve got a story to share that’s close to my heart. It’s about someone’s journey through some incredibly tough times, but it’s also a story of hope, healing, and the incredible power of faith. This isn’t just any story; it’s a real-life testament to overcoming darkness with light, and how turning to a higher power and embracing support can lead to true freedom. It’s about someone very brave who faced their deepest fears and came out stronger on the other side.
A story of honesty and strength
The Lord used you, Be In Health. I was raised in a strict religious [not Christian] home. My first recall of problems with depression occurred after being rejected by my high school sweetheart. We had dated for almost 3 years and planned to marry after we both finished college. When I got my “Dear Jane” letter, I was devastated, my grades dropped, I gained weight, and I turned to daily religious activities [not Christian]. I dated a little and was very proud to be in a very small minority to be a virgin at graduation.
By then I was old enough to drink [legally], and my inhibitions left, and soon I was pregnant. Being afraid of my parents’ reaction and sharing that fear with my doctor, the enemy used him to suggest that I did not have to tell them. In 1971 abortion was not yet legal, so off to a dirty, secret place in an eastern city I went.
The shame of that horrible decision is what I come to understand was the open door for the enemy. It wasn’t until only recently when I took the responsibility and stopped blaming other or using the crutch that I was mentally ill that my freedom began. Praise God.
You see, starting in 1975 in Alaska and ending in Minnesota in 1997, I had been in mental hospitals a total of 8 times. When I became coherent after my first stay, some of the staff told me they had never seen anyone as bad off as I was, and they were certain I would be loved up in the back wards of a state hospital the rest of my life.
What is your written prayer strategy?
I have been off and on medications since 1975. But this time because of God’s grace and love and the help of the teaching and ministry through Dr. Henry Wright, I believe the root(s) have been exposed. I took the godly counsel to taper off the meds with the oversight of my health care professional. July 17, 2001, she asked if I was ready to be off the Depakote completely! I floated out of her office. Praise Jesus.
Thank you again for being obedient to the Lord’s call on your life to set the captives free.
Tormented no more and eternally grateful.

And there you have it—a journey from the depths of despair to a place of peace and liberation. It’s incredible, isn’t it?
How strength, faith, and a little guidance can turn a life around. This story, while unique, speaks to the universal struggle of finding our way through the darkness. It’s a reminder that no matter how lost we may feel, there’s always a path that leads us back to light and love. If you take anything from this, let it be the courage to seek help, the strength to face your battles, and the faith to know that healing is within reach.
Remember, it’s okay to lean on others and to lean on faith. We’re all in this journey together, and stories like these are the beacons that guide us home.
