I used to be afraid of ghosts. During the lunar 7th month, I would be scared and anxious for almost the whole month. I would be afraid to stay up alone or get up to use the washroom at night. I would also avoid going out after sunset. I remember avoiding swimming and CCA camps during this period. Any sudden noise at night would make me jump. I even requested to postpone the first day of my new job to avoid the period. I was trapped in anxiety and fear for many years.

My life changed after I knew the Lord. I am no longer afraid after knowing the truth, that the Lord has overcome the world, Satan and death. Through Him, I can overcome all things! Even though I now work in a hospital, I am not afraid. The fear that had been controlling me for many years is gone. My heart is calm.

The recent COVID-19 outbreak has been worrying. But I realised that I need to turn to the Lord and rely on Him. I started to pray more for myself and my loved ones, for peace and protection. I entrust the situation into His hand because He holds all authority. Each time when I pray, I feel the peace in my heart.
