I go to church every week and pray twice a day as much as I can... Yet, there are days that my soul feels weak, even my spirit so I pause... I backslide because of the turmoil in my life and the emptiness in my heart. Yet, I cling to Him with a hope that everything will get better soon. Yeah, maybe someday...in His perfect time.
You know the song with that verse in it? "Whom have I in heaven but you.." it's very pretty.. my grandma was very big on prayers.. i'm afraid i only pray when i'm desperate for something .. i didn't realize you were religious.. 🙂
I am a "Believer In Christ," and definitely believe in the Power of Prayer. Your Grandma sounds like a someone you Treasure, that's wonderful to read that she has left an impact on you.
He will never forsake you. You are one of His children. It doesn't mean life will be easy. I am learning the hard way to trust Him more and more. The devil will make you doubt, but Jesus said he has not lost one of those the Father has given him. Whatever happens I know you and I will meet some day in heaven. May your sleep be restful.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
The writer of Hebrews talks about faith extensively. He tells us that we should look to Jesus as the source of our faith. As a Christian, we can look to Jesus as the author of our life—Jesus still has the pen in His hand, writing our story of faith.
Jesus is also the finisher of our faith. We can have confidence knowing that Jesus won’t leave us hanging. We will experience difficulties, challenges, unexpected circumstances, but God is with us through it all and will walk with us until the end of time.
@Iwillwait oh yes. He is coming in loud and clear. I’m feeling like withdrawing from people around me. I’m hurting them. Not physically but being a downer. I need to be on my own again. To get better. It’s really getting in the way. Oh I need God to change me. My heart. I’m sorry this is coming out. Thank you for listening.
@Thedoorislocked You needn't apologize. I totally understand. My understanding is, everything is within GOD'S Perfect Timing, so worry not your head about "Time," for it's never too late. 🤗
@Thedoorislocked some of these thoughts are innate and They come to all of us, but these thoughts are meant to help you move forward, to make small improvements. They are not meant to drown you in sorrow but inspire you and help you grow— because we all need to keep growing — all of us. Perhaps a tiny. Check list where you can check off and give yourself credit for what you do well? As for myself, I am learning to appreciate that conversing is an art, and arguing can be humorous sport, if only we allow ourselves to laugh. I wish you well- a fellow moody SW user.
Wow!! I just now saw your beautiful, touching testimony. I don't know how I missed it. It totally blew me away with love and gratitude that God was with you and helped you. Also your great love and faith in the Lord. He does exactly as you have said. I experienced that myself. There is nothing like his presence. He always feels us with love and peace with his presence and great joy. It never fails and he will never fail us, as you have mentioned so beautifully. I can't thank you enough for this testimony. I hope and pray everyone comes back to read it again as it is well worth it. Praise God! And God bless you.
@kodiac Food saves starving people and I send both food and money. My great aunt was in Africa for 50 years, yep. You don't know what you are talking about. Many were saved! If some reject God then there is no more help for them God says.
@Carazaa So happy to hear no more kids anywhere in the world are starving warms my heart to know the 6 months old baby deserves to die for not accepting your god.
I was troubled just last month. I needed a change in my life and it wasn't happening fast enough. When I would pray I'd be all teary eyed. I'd read the word and I just couldn't meditate on it cause I was too busy worrying. I was listening to a song and it spoke to me reminding me who I AM IN CHRIST and after that joy unspeakable filled my heart😀
@karysma 🤗. I'm so happy for you. I love worship music. For King & Country, Casting Crowns, Hillsong, Lauren Daigle, Toby Mac, Tauren Wells, K-LOVE Radio, Family Life Radio, these sources have filled my heart and soul with so much Hope &. Joy for the Love of The Lord.
i ask these things of you my Father , by your Son our lord Jesus Christ .your Word , the Holy Spirit and the Angels that hold your will in hand always , Amen !
Awesome❣️🙏😊 I pray a lot too. I also give thanks for the beauty in this world, 🌏🥀 be it plants and nature as well as the beautiful souls I come across that helps lighten the load.💫
I’m not a religious person but certainly know what it’s like to feel concerned and anxious in the wee hours of the morning. I see that this is an older post but still wish you well and hope things have improved. 🙂
@Warewolfgal94 the side of earth ,moon, and sun farthest from their POSITIVE influence on earth. And in general, a time for people to sleep and rest - their most vulneerable time of day. But you can attribute the to whatever source you like.
