Transcript: Prayer helps Us to Cope
[Matteo Dalla-Longa. France]
Matteo: I’ve been suffering from a very rare type of cancer since I was eight years old. I have a tumour growing along my spine next to my heart. It causes heart problems and very violent back pains.
[X-ray of his chest]
[Text: Natacha Dalla-Longa. France]
[His mother Natacha]
Natasha: I begged Jehovah not to fall apart. I was going to break down,
[Flashback]
and before I had even finished my prayer, I felt a veil of peace and serenity envelope me. Jehovah was holding my hand, and I could almost hear him saying, ‘I’m with you.’
[She cradles young Matteo]
Experiencing such extreme trials allowed me really to taste Jehovah’s undeserved kindness, and that’s wonderful.
Matteo: There are a lot of things I’d like to do, but I am unable to because of my sickness.
[Sitting in the blue chairs he watches young men play soccer]
I’ve had many feelings since my childhood: frustration, anger, even denial.
[At home]
But Jehovah really helped me accept my situation.
[His mum gives him packs of pills. At a Kingdom Hall]
My parents always taught me to cherish my relationship with Jehovah.
[He conducts the meeting for field service]
Today, I just need to know that Jehovah loves me.
[He looks up at the night sky]
When I don’t feel well, I pray to him very intensely for very precise things. Each time, he answers my prayer.
