A Nigerian woman has stirred emotions online after releasing a heart-wrenching video where she claimed that her life took a dramatic and painful turn for the worse shortly after joining the famous Hallelujah Challenge, a viral midnight praise and worship session led by gospel singer and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey.
In the emotional video shared on TikTok by the user @mirriam231, the woman was seen crying uncontrollably as she opened up about how her situation, which she had hoped would improve through prayers and worship, instead became more difficult and filled with setbacks.
She expressed her confusion and pain, asking if others who participated in the Hallelujah Challenge also experienced a downturn in their lives rather than the blessings and breakthroughs they were praying for. Her story has sparked a wave of reactions and discussions across social media platforms.
In her caption, she wrote:
“Is it me or things just got worse after the Hallelujah Challenge? Devil you’re a liar. God is still good and faithful. God please help us.”
The post quickly went viral, gathering thousands of views and comments. Many social media users flooded her comment section, offering words of encouragement, sympathy, and personal testimonies. Some urged her to remain steadfast in faith, reminding her that sometimes life’s toughest trials come right before major breakthroughs. Others, however, admitted they had gone through similar painful experiences after joining the prayer challenge.
One commenter said, “It got worse, lost everything I was scared of losing… sacrificed my sleep and never missed a single day only for things to get worse. I’m so angry, I cried so much.” Another wrote, “Don’t lose hope. God might be testing your faith. He will definitely come through for you in His own time.”
Despite the woman’s struggles, the Hallelujah Challenge remains one of the most popular Christian online prayer movements, drawing participants from all over the world who testify of miracles, restored hope, and spiritual revival. Her video, however, offers a rare and contrasting perspective — showing that for some believers, the path of faith can include moments of pain, confusion, and waiting.
As conversations continue to spread, many users are reflecting on how faith journeys can differ greatly from one person to another — reminding everyone that even in times of hardship, holding on to faith remains a vital part of spiritual growth.
