When I heard Pastor Prince unveil the year’s theme as The Third Day, I sobbed uncontrollably. It felt as though God was speaking directly to me—acknowledging the lost years the locusts had devoured and promising restoration.

In just four weeks since receiving the message, I have witnessed a miraculous acceleration in my life. My debilitating mental health struggles, which led to a decade of suicide attempts, have been completely healed. The voice of self-condemnation has been replaced by the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit.

I used to question God, wondering why He loved everyone except me, but now I know that I am His beloved child and a new creation in Christ. I am filled with joy and wonder instead of despair and hopelessness. Even my non-believing family members have remarked on how different I am.

God’s grace has also restored my marriage. I initiated a separation from my husband last year, but by His grace, that has been reversed. The pain of my darkest moments is being washed away and replaced with grace and love.

I work as a teacher and I used to struggle to fulfil my role on empty strength. But now, I have an overflow of love to give my students. Previously, I lost 15kg due to severe depression, leaving me so weak that even climbing stairs was a struggle. Now, I feel physically stronger and can teach without strain. I know I will continue to receive abundantly this year. All glory to God!
