Heroin destroys Abdul Ali

We explore themes of faith, guidance, and personal transformation, sharing reflections on how people seek help in moments of fear, guilt, or uncertainty and find strength through prayer, repentance, and renewed purpose. We highlight the message that every person needs spiritual direction, that we cannot save ourselves alone, and that hope and change become possible when we turn toward God with sincerity. Through stories, hymns, and teachings, we underscore the importance of humility, community support, and a willingness to confront one’s past while embracing a path toward healing and responsibility.
“O heavens and earth, sing to God…
O my only Savior, my God, You are the path of salvation for me.
Your name blossoms like spring greenery.
From the green branches, my voice rises toward the paradise of Your spirit.
I become a mirror,
And the two worlds overflow from my voice.
Heaven shakes as I walk,
One sky above me with every step I take…”
Dear friends, when we cry out to God, He hears us, because He is love.
When we pray to Him, He understands us, because He is love.
When we ask Him to show us the right path, He answers us, because He is love.
So let us praise Him as long as we have breath.
“I will praise the Lord at all times;
Gratitude and patience shall always be on my tongue.
My soul takes pride in the Lord;
The humble will hear this and rejoice.
Come, join me in proclaiming the greatness of the Lord.
Let us praise His name together.
I sought the Lord, and He answered me
And freed me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are joyful;
Their faces will not be ashamed.
A poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him
And delivered him from all troubles.
The angel of the Lord surrounds those who fear Him
And protects them from danger.
Come, taste and see that the Lord is good.
Blessed are those who take refuge in Him.
O you who belong to the Lord, honor Him,
For those who fear Him will never be left in need.”
“Come to me for your salvation,
I come before You fallen and broken,
With tearful eyes I come to You.
Give me rest, tell me to stand firm.
I believe and come.
My God, I call to You—have mercy on me,
Hear my prayer.
You are my support in this world.”

“You know my hardships by the rivers and waters.
You know my struggles in the deserts.
The sky has no shelter for me but You.
I rely on You in the storm.
I call to You, Lord, have mercy, hear my prayer.
You are my support in this world.”
Music
“All the ways of a person seem right to him,
But God sees the intentions.
A wicked person devises evil plans,
And his words burn like fire.
Commit your plans to the Lord,
And you will succeed.
Do good and be kind,
And God will forgive your sins.
Fear the Lord, and evil will stay away from you.
When someone pleases God,
Even his enemies are made to live in peace with him.
The path of the righteous is free from evil;
Whoever walks in it saves his soul.”
Dear listeners, last time we discussed four essential truths God wants us to know:
- All human beings need salvation.
- We cannot save ourselves.
- God has provided a way for our salvation.
- That way is Jesus Christ—only He can save and protect us.
So the question is: what must we do?
First, we must repent.
The Word of God says that God now commands all people everywhere to repent—
meaning to confess sins and turn away from them.
Second, we must believe in Jesus Christ, the Savior of humanity.
Faith means accepting Jesus as our Savior, trusting in Him, and following Him completely.
And then, we must testify to our faith.
“O Creator, Eternal Light,
Your name blossoms in my heart.
The branches of my soul grow toward You.
I call upon You again and again, O Father…
With Your light, guide me.
Do not leave me alone in this dark world.”
