Are you facing multiple problems right now?
Are you overwhelmed with heartbreaks that you have no idea how to solve?
Doreen Gonzales felt the same when she found out that her mom was sick and her dad was having an affair.
Doreen shared a close bond with her mother, Yolanda. She was amazed with her mother’s faith after she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
They both loved watching The 700 Club Asia and as time passed by, they showed character growth and grew closer to God.
As Doreen was transformed by God, her faith was challenged. She discovered her father’s affair and her mother’s cancer.
“I saw my father’s photos with his girlfriend and it hurt me to see my mom getting balder and thinner,” she recalled.
This filled her with so much hatred and so many questions.
Life went on, but it was never easy.
After completing her nursing degree, Doreen entered a relationship. Despite the love they felt at first, her boyfriend married someone else.
He married someone from another country to obtain citizenship. Doreen chose to end the relationship, but the guy insisted.
He was willing to give her what she wanted, so Doreen tried his sincerity by asking for a house and lot.
When the man’s legal family found out, they filed a case against Doreen. She was helpless as all her problems piled up but there was no solution in sight.
Doreen remembered The 700 Club Asia and reached out to the CBN Asia Prayer Center. She pleaded for prayer support.
With the ongoing legal battles instigated by her ex-boyfriend’s family, Doreen didn’t expect that she would meet her future husband. Her prayers were answered as the court dismissed the case.
Doreen experienced God’s faithfulness in her career, too. During her last board exam, she prayed to pass, even with a modest score of 75.6.
To her surprise, God exceeded her expectations—she passed the exam with flying colors! She considered CBN Asia Prayer Center as her vital support in prayer.
Now, Doreen and her husband actively serve the Lord. She also decided to forgive her father.
“There is really a God that changes a person’s life,” she shared.
Let Doreen’s life remind you that every situation is designed to teach you perseverance, and faith in God’s plans. With faith, hope, and prayer, you can overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
You can find joy in the midst of it all.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:2-4 NIV)
