Now married and doing ministry with her husband for nearly two decades, D’Clario, who also struggled with infertility, says she found herself in a dark place again following the birth of her second child. The artist’s book The Prodigal Heartdetails her journey. But she had a “coming to Jesus moment” in 2003, where God showed D'Clario that He had His eyes were always on her. In that phase of her life, the singer said she faced suicidal thoughts. “And frankly, I was just angry at the world and at God because of all the brokenness that I was enduring, and I didn’t have an outlet to heal it, or at least I didn’t know I had an outlet to heal it.”ĭ’Clario said after a couple of years leading a “covert double life,” she hit “rock bottom.” “Whenever I was away in college, I was leading a life that was absolute opposite to what a child of God does because I was so broken,” she said. She admitted she was living a “broken” life even when she was a worship leader singing in church as a young adult. When she matured into an attractive young lady, she received lots of male attention that she did not want. On top of that, she was bullied because she was different from other kids.

When she was 6, she lost her father to addiction. The Latin worshiper admitted that she forcefully let the Lord intervene in her healing, which peeled away a major layer of brokenness to reveal His character in her.ĭ’Clario said her brokenness began when she was 5 years old after being sexually abused. The 39-year-old said the songs came out of a season where she came to the “very end” of herself. “I say that because the group of songs that’s in this project particularly are the songs that came out of a very arduous journey with mental health, recovery and inner healing.” “This album, project, season, worship environment for me has a very, very strong deposit of healing,” the New York native who moved to Puerto Rico when she was a child shared with The Christian Post in a recent video interview that can be seen below.
