“Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled” featuring Ben Morris from the album Risen! The Musical recorded and produced by Joffy Girling

I know that this has been “doing the rounds” on social media but I still thought it worth sharing.

Matthew Perry, the US actor famously known for his role as Chandler in the sitcom Friends, has revealed how he experienced a breakthrough in his battle with alcohol addiction after a prayer.
He said: “God, please help me, show me that you are here. God, please help me…”
“I started to cry. I mean, I really started to cry – that shoulder-shaking kind of uncontrollable weeping. I wasn’t crying because I was sad. I was crying because for the first time in my life, I felt okay. I felt safe, taken care of. Decades of struggling with God, and wrestling with life and sadness, all was being washed away, like a river of pain gone into oblivion.”
“I had been in the presence of God. I was certain of it.”
Perry says he stayed sober for two years based “solely” on that encounter with God.
“God had shown me a sliver of what life could be. He saved me that day, and for all days, no matter what. He had turned me into a seeker, not only of sobriety, and truth, but also of him”.
