    One thing I’ve learned about God through difficult circumstances is that He cares deeply about the way our character is being shaped into His image through them…more than just us feeling comfortable all the time 🤍 don’t forget you can shop my favorite Christian apparel and get 15% off with code KACINICOLE15 here: bit.ly/4cntFvF

    going to leave this here as a reminder for myself. Whenever this gets a like I will get reminded. Sometimes I wonder why God makes me wait. I know his plan is perfect. I know God has me waiting for a reason. It feels like I've been in isolation for a long period now. I'm about to get back into doing what I love. I know God will always be with me. I give my life to Jesus Christ. I know looking back I'll be able to connect the dots. Understanding it had to happen just as it did. All the heartbreaks, setbacks, and nights worrying about if you're on the right path. It will all be lifted once I get there. To anyone out there. God will never abandon you

    I just watched this video, thank you. I needed this Word today. Please pray for me, I am experiencing loneliness like I never have before and I'm grateful to hear that Jesus isn't going to walk on by my emotional pain. I am holding onto the promise that He sees me, cares for me and will deliver me from this affliction one day.

    From the smallest to the largest details, God cares about anything that concerns you. It can be a matter that isn't that important in the grand scheme of things yet, He cares. That's amazing to me.

    Something the Lord has taught me from bad circumstances is just simply that he loves me. I mean if someone didn’t TRULY love you, they wouldn’t ALWAYS deliver you, from everything, every hard thing, weather it’s big or even pretty small. Just the constant reminder of God’s love

    For the past 2 and a half years after a falling out with our son and grandchildren due to his wife...ive missed them deeply and been in a depression..however every day when I cry out to God to help my pain and sorrow he is always comforting me and strengthening me through it all. I am getting better and trusting him every day that our family will no longer be divided and we restore the time that has been lost. He knows my deep deep love for my grandchildren and son and my family. He sees my pain and I know he is there working on it even though I don't see it 🙏🙏🙏

I needed this reminder to Focus On Jesus and Not my Circumstances. ❤🙏🏾 During those difficult circumstances God is present with his children and He wants is to cry out to Him for help. Sometimes our human nature wants to try to solve things ourselves but God is present waiting for us to call out to Him so the He will reach out his hand and help us.

    Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏼🤍 one thing I learned about difficult circumstances is that we can still have joy through them. “The joy of the Lord is our strength.” (Nehemiah 8: 10)
    Happiness comes from emotions based off of outward experiences, JOY comes from within. There is no true joy without God and I am so thankful He brings us joyful hearts even through trials for it is the best medicine we can have. In the midst of pain we can always feel His joy.

    Oh how I needed this. I am still feeling from a breakup up 7 months ago and I would have thought by now it would be getting easier, but it still feels as raw as day one. My breakup was the handiwork of God because we didn't have a relationship that glorified Him, so despite my devastation, I ran right back to God and have been hanging on to the hem of his garment since.

    So true about clothing being impactful evangelistic tools! I have a t-shirt that says read the Bible, and out of any shirt I have I’ve got reactions from that one. Remember God saw Hagar in the desert. He always hears us. Augustine is like the month of August! If that helps! Many times I get lost in the trials of life and have doubt, but when I focus on Him. Life is peaceful!

    This is so timely! I was just battling with anxiety and was overthinking over the action of another person. I was at war with myself until I declared God’s power and sovereignty over my circumstance. I shifted my focus on how great is our God and how He has already put everything in place where worry is not welcome. A wave of peace came rushing over me after such declaration that I can finally lay in bed ready to sleep.

Give me strength Lord my sons are both special needs children. Guide me as I struggle to buy groceries, and as I struggle to pay rent every month is a struggle and I’m in fear of losing my home.

    one thing i've learned about God through difficult circumstances is that He remains Holy and Good no matter the situations of my heart (inside) and life (outside). but thank God, He's also not a distant Holy God who doesn't care about what's going on down here, it's good to believe that He's patiently walking with us through these difficult moments. Praise be to God💖🥺

      God always will answer your prayers if you are a true born again believer.
      Sometimes His answer is Yes
      Sometimes No
      But most the time, His answer is, be patient and trust in Me!
      It’s soooo easy for us humans to be impatient…. Including me.
      I am also in a dire mess. Anxiety has peaked. Losing sleep, etc etc.
      But God is building us through it all. Especially if we have Faith in Him. He’s real and His the victory and triumph you will experience, through Him, will bring Glorification and incredible joy in Him. Be Patient

      Trust me I totally understand. I went through the exact same thing. I was very upset but the Father opened up a door at the time that I needed it the most. That was a season of dead weight and cleaning out my heart. My mind has grown a lot and I feel closer to Him and more appreciative. Easier said than done but focus on Him in this season and daily try to look at the positive in your season even if you feel like nothing is positive. Stay encouraged. Try to read , journal , or listen to worship music to take your mind off the circumstance. 🩷 Take care. Praying for you.

      @@theoneandonlytyzane I’ve been doing this for a long time and the circumstances have not changed at all. I feel like I’m not growing. Just stagnant. I just got rejected this week from a major financially opportunity I’ve worked prayed for and worked hard on for years. Tens of thousands gone. My network doesn’t help at all either. I feel so alone. I’m so exhausted. I don’t have any ambition anymore. No goals because I just keep getting rejected. It’s like the closer I get to God, the lower I go in my circumstances and I cry out to him it’s too much. I can’t handle it anymore. Then another bad thing happens.

    So what do you think when I said in the comment you were your video for the very first time we all go to tough times even though you’re Christian believer that’s it doesn’t matter, but we know that God is with us who could be against us when I’m going to trials and tribulations I put my eyes on God I gotta trust in God I just the only one I trust. I can’t trust a human being in this world cause that person will let me down, which is true, but God never will let me down. He will always be there for me. He will always be there for you. He will be there for anybody that calls up on his name, so maybe I’m saying I don’t know but I know one thing that God is in control of everybody situation. God is first in my life. I will pray and I keep praying and seeking God’s space and God knows what I need. God when I God knows what I don’t need and when I wake up in the morning when you wake up in the morning, God knows what you need before you even ask Guy his ear. He hears us hears our minds and he knows what we’re going through. He knows we’re sick. He knows what we’re down. He knows everything of us God Almighty. We live here in Chicago for a very long time. A lot of I see things going on. I work here, my life and school when I was a kid, my mom passed away but mama always trained me. My two brothers and my sister the right way my dad was a pastor before but he can’t be a pastor no more and he had to resign because he had a heart attack my dad but he’s doing OK thank God for that. I’m doing OK spiritually sometimes I feel lonely and I feel lonely and I would like to talk to a woman or all the respect, I would like to get to know her get to know me but all the respect yes all the respect and you know there’s no woman there’s no guy they can say you don’t need a woman or you don’t need a man that’s a lie everybody love, everybody attention, man, and a womanyou know I would like to talk to that person. She gets to know me more and why not not to be friends so you’ll be blessed now you’re a great day. I hope I hear from you very soon.❤❤❤
