God wants to take our pain away
Lacey Mosley is the lead singer of the band FLYLEAF. Here she is in her own words…
“I had a nervous breakdown at 16, planned to kill myself the next day and cut all my hair off. My grandma took one look at me, got very angry and we had a big fight. She was telling me I needed to go to church, and I agreed just so she would stop yelling. I still planned on killing myself the next day.”
The next day was Sunday, and Lacey was at church…
“The preacher came on and started talking about experiences he’d come across in ministering, and it kind of described my whole life. I was shocked, but then he started talking about how Jesus died so he could take our pain away, forgive us from our sins and set us free. He started crying at one point and said he felt a suicidal spirit in the room, I felt like he was talking to me again. It made me want to turn away, but he said, ‘God wants to take your pain away.‘”
After the church service ended, a deacon in the church pulled her aside and told her that she could find comfort in her heavenly father despite her earthly father never being around…
“I never knew my dad, but this really did catch my attention because this man at the church didn’t know me! And the more he kept saying about pain, the more my heart broke into a million pieces. Finally when I was more desperate than I’d ever been, he asked if I wanted to pray, and I said ‘yes.’ I had my head in my hands, and he prayed for God’s peace to come over me. Jesus saved me, and it was the most awesome freedom I’ve ever known.” - Lacey Mosley
