I'm going through the suffering and agony of soul, having lost a daughter who shined like a new diamond. 💔 I often ask God, how long! The emptiness will never go away. Living life like an amputee, learning who am I now, and how to live without my beloved daughter is something I would never wish on anyone. But God is here and Jesus is the one I look to even when I cannot feel their presence.
Terra, it’s awful what you are going through - nobody should have to endure such pain. Psalm 27:13-14 got me through a time of emotional trauma. It says this: I would have lost hope had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living. Having a sense of hope can be something we don’t sometimes feel, but God says that there is hope - there is always hope in Jesus, and that hope is a true reality. I do pray that you will experience healing - God will bring you through, just like He did with me. God really cares for you.
A wise ruler once said when asked why he doesn't allow churches to be built in his nation: "churches are places where people go to learn how to quarrel about God. We don't want to learn that." So what have our churches done to us? They hire the best speakers as pastors who keep us spinning in the confusing quagmire of Christianity. How did His people survive in the old days without Bibles, without pastor/preachers, without institutionalized Christianity and without 38 minute lectures each Sunday or Saturday? I know one thing, they wouldn't put up with some guy making their lives unlivable with his endless bombardment of how they must live. You don't need anyone to teach you anything (John said). Beware of those who think they were called to be your spiritual teacher and certainly be very wary of those institutions who "teach" the teachers.

Psalms 13 is the feeling, and Romans 8 is the response when you have those moments. Amen.
I have enjoyed this inspiring message it it is helpful. I don’t know why it was cut off without finishing the full message. My only regret.
