Testimony
There was a young woman named Grace who struggled with anxiety and a sense of purposelessness in her spiritual life. She prayed occasionally, but her prayers felt mechanical, and she often wondered if God even heard her. Feeling spiritually dry, she discovered the practice of praying through St Therese prayer points.
Grace began praying daily, using scripture-based prayers inspired by St Therese’s simple yet powerful faith. She focused on guidance, peace, humility, and trust in God. Slowly, she noticed a transformation her anxiety decreased, her decisions became clearer, and a deep sense of inner peace began to replace her fear and restlessness.
Through this journey, Grace realized that prayer is not just about asking for blessings; it is about aligning the heart with God’s will. St Therese’s example of childlike trust and persistent prayer taught her that even small, heartfelt prayers can produce profound spiritual growth and miracles.
