Desperate for anything that would help, Azadeh read the first story about God. She immediately asked Him to bring His light into her soul. That same day, she felt darkness leave her room, and her sleep was no longer filled with nightmares. She said it was &ldquo;as if a curtain had been pulled away from in front of my eyes, and the darkness in my heart left.&rdquo; She is now a young disciple of Christ, growing in her walk with the Lord.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.persecution.com\/globalprayerguide\/iran\/?_source_code=WBPGGPG20B\">Click here<\/a> to find out about Christian persecution in Iran and learn how to pray.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icommittopray.com\/request\/2386\/azadeh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post a prayer for Azadeh on iCommitToPray.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the age of twelve, Azadeh was raped.
