"I felt as though they had unlocked a door in my life for God to walk through"
The following is a testimonial from someone who requested prayers from the Circle of Atonement's Healing Prayer Ministry.
Since Greg began praying for me so many things in my life have changed for the better! When I contacted the CoA prayer ministry I was deeply depressed - I could hardly get out of bed in the morning. My mind and heart were overwhelmed by many issues in my life that were bringing me to my knees. I was battered and empty. What was most disheartening was that I could not pray. Every time I tried, my prayers felt difficult and like a useless chore. I felt that God had abandoned me and there was no hope of changing that. Then I stumbled onto the prayer ministry of CoA. Though I now believe this "stumbling" was not accidental, I did not come to Greg entirely confident that his prayers would do any (measurable) good. By that time, my faith was about half the size of a mustard seed minus an ounce. But I thank God that I took that small step towards them.
Within the week it became clear that his prayers were helping. My problems began to release their hold over my heart and mind; I found that I was embraced by an ongoing sense of peace; it became easier to pray, even enjoyable, and prayer is now an enormous pleasure for me; my bitter and broken heart began to fill with love; and as my relationship with God was renewed, answers to the problems I was facing began to come through the Holy Spirit. This is no exaggeration. Changes were that sudden. They were that complete. Over the next few weeks many situations arose where I had once encountered an obstacle but there was now an open road instead. During the period of his prayers I felt as though they had unlocked a door in my life for God to walk through - a door that at the time I could not open myself.
Later on when I received an email from Greg to see how I was coming along, I decided to review the issues that I had asked for them to pray about. Amazingly, each and every one of them (it was a lengthy list) had been touched somehow. I had peace in places where there had been despair and I'd received answers where there had been only confusion. In every area there was light replacing darkness. I saw clearly that these mighty companions had held me up to God so that He could take hold of me Himself.
Though we've never met, Greg has had an undeniable impact on me with his prayers. I now pray fervently and often for others in a way I never have before, knowing that our prayers are heard, and knowing that our prayers are answered. I cannot fully describe all the miracles that have come from all this but if you need prayer, I highly recommend that you contact the CoA prayer ministry. I cannot promise that your experiences will be as drastic or immediate as some of mine but I do believe that his prayers will help in a way that will have significance and meaning to you. And if you find relief, which I truly believe you will, please keep them in your prayers as well.
Thank you Greg. May God always bless and keep you.
With love and gratitude,
