According to her, she has been sailing on stormy waters over the last decade, and it took close associates and God to keep her afloat.
During a thanksgiving Service at the Ringway Assemblies of God church to celebrate her 70th birthday, she disclosed to the members that, elements in the former Atta Mills government put pressure on her to resign but she managed to succeed in office due to prayer and supplication from relatives and colleagues.

“Each single one of you added value to my life. You’re the people who gave me hope and helped us to succeed… that is why I don’t forget Justice Dotse. He has stood by me and has received some of the beatings through no fault of his except he was helping to do God’s work,” the retired Chief Justice revealed.
The longest Chief Justice explained how people in top positions need fervent prayers because they need to work with God's wisdom and strength.
“It has not been by our own strength and wisdom. Those in critical leadership position and even those down the ladder we thank the Lord and pray desperately. I know that among you are several other people who continually prayed for us.”
She further added that, “It will be difficult on my part that as soon as I exit I forget; I will not. I pray that all the good plans he (Dotse) had God help him to realise.”

Mrs. Wood was full of praise to her husband and other relatives who prayed with her often for God to help her scale over every hurdle in her way.
She stressed that people in “critical leadership positions” must never forget God in their dealings since that helps them to remain truthful and become effective.
Meanwhile she advised that, “the time you need the Lord more is when you are elevated so that he will guide and shepherd and see you through,” Mrs. Wood said.
