My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible

'I was in my late twenties and working at a radio station in London. One of my colleagues invited us all to a carol service at All Soul’s Langham Place. We all sat in the row. At the end, I was in tears, which later I learned was the Holy Spirit touching me.

It was a difficult time in my life and my colleague gave me the verse Matthew 6.33. It says, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well”. I was struggling, worrying about the future. I wanted to be married and that was not happening. All my friends had already got married and were having kids. I felt really sad.

That verse was about putting God first as opposed to putting my desires first. It was about being obedient to God and that obedience being blessed. I didn’t understand that at the time.

I came to a point where I thought, “Do you know what, I’m OK with the fact if I don’t get married and don’t have children.” But then, I met my husband. Now we have two children. When I look back at that verse now, I know it to be the truth.

That verse is talking about not worrying and I am a great worrier. It’s basically talking about the Father’s protection, love and care. He knows what we need.'
