FREED FROM ACNE THROUGH PRAYER

JYOTI BAJAJ

Ever since childhood, I was very conscious of the way I looked, moved, and wore clothes. As a young adult, I was especially concerned about my face. I never felt that I was beautiful or particularly attractive.

Then, adding further to my distress, acne appeared on my face. It grew worse with time. I became even more self-conscious and felt so ugly. It had been my habit to compare myself with others either in looks or in qualities, and usually I thought I came up short. Now it was difficult to avoid such discouraging thoughts even for a minute.

Some of my friends started asking me about my face, and why I didn't do something. At that time I was relying on medicine for healthcare. I went to a skin specialist, who gave me many treatments, but none had any lasting beneficial effect. I struggled constantly with frustration about my appearance, and the persistent thought that God was partial in making some people beautiful and some ugly.
