My family was in deep debt and our debtors were constantly calling us for their money. My mum’s job wasn’t doing well. I am a freelance writer and I wasn’t getting any work. My young sibling had gone back to school without paying the school fees.
Things looked extremely bleak for us. There didn’t seem to be hope or a way out for us. I was sad and unhappy. I spend months feeling lost and in despair. Sometimes I would try to get up from the dark hole I was in but the little faith I had would fail me and I couldn’t find a way out.

Then one day I decided that enough was enough. I knew about The Secret because I had read it and even practised The Magic some years before. I cleaned up, took out a piece of paper, and began writing. I wrote of all the things that I was grateful for. I wrote of how happy I was because I had won the lottery and we were able to clear all our debts and get our lives in order. I believed with every part of me that it would come true and even imagined it all happening. My heart felt all the gratitude of the moment and I kept repeating, ‘Thank you, God’ over and over. I told God I was faithful that I would see His grace in my life. Then I folded the piece of paper and put it away.
I then went on with my life and got busy with other things.

Believe it or not, that night I got a call telling me that I had won the exact amount of money that I had asked for. I was excited and overjoyed! Although I had expected it, I had been heartbroken so many times before by things going wrong that I almost didn’t believe it was actually happening.

For someone out there going through a rough patch right now, don’t lose the faith. Hold on to your dream. Be grateful, pray to God, and most of all, have faith. Faith can literally move mountains. Believe that what you seek will all come true. Even when you fall, rise up again and stay focused. You may give up right before the big miracle so don’t. Keep your faith and watch your dreams unfold before your eyes. May your deepest desires come true. Much love to all.
