    Looking back on the most recent situation in my life that felt "hopeless," I can see so clearly that God was using it to teach me to trust Him more deeply. 🤍 I can't wait to read through your reflections as well!

    Currently in a season of unemployment and God is teaching me to not put my identity in having a job, but in Him. Trusting Him during this time has been difficult but He has been faithful and will continue to be no matter what is happening in my life.

  • @OfficerQuaalude
    @OfficerQuaalude 20 годин тому +6

    Despite this excruciating heartbreak I've been dealing with for the past four months, I think I finally have gotten to the point where I know it had to happen. She had to take a step back and embark on this season of solitude and singleness to truly find God without external distraction and figure for herself where her true feelings and love were. For me, I think it's been for God to show me that I've been idolizing her and our relationship and the future I thought we were going to have over God. Sure, we were both praying, reading and growing with God together, but maybe not at the level He wanted us to.
    We haven't even spoken in two months and I fear that it is not God's will for us to be together anymore. But I still hold out hope that if it is God's will, we will be reunited better and healthier than ever, truly ready and deserving of one another for the best relationship and marriage that we want to have. If not, though, I have full faith and confidence that God is preparing someone even better and more compatible for me, even if that's so hard to imagine and is still not exactly what I want. I want to be with her so bad, but I know God's will is better and more prosperous for us than what we think ours is.
    I pray for everyone dealing with a heartbreak, especially if it's from someone you truly thought and were certain of spending the rest of your life with. Lean on God and not your own understanding of things - no matter how bleak the situation may look. God will restore each and every one of us with so much more than we ever imagined, and every tear we shed is watering the abundent garden He has prepared for us in the near future. Trust, and patience.

    2024 was a year full of huge disappointments ...I was drowing into deep depression ...This year my goal is to live the present .The Past was hunting me for bad desitions and the future was terrifying me or was complete unable to be located ...it was esting me alive I needed this year to provide a leap of hope cuz I lost it and found myself with a prayer video that was just uploaded and a christian friend sent me the same exact prayer ...telling God told her to send it to me and I felt that at least God was listening to me...cuz I was feeling forgotten and invisible to Him.

  • @El-aitch

    Kaci. My 31-yr-old brother-in-law is currently entering the trial treatment phase of his cancer treatment as chemo has failed. His rare cancer is aggressive and most people die after 18 months of treatment. For him it is this spring if he follows the pattern.
    I had a shameful moment where I got mad at God because I had hope He would heal him and it seems He won’t. I then thought my hope wasn’t enough for Him to work a miracle. I immediately repented and asked for forgiveness. I’ve been trusting and hopeful through most of this but sometimes my sinful flesh wins out due to emotional pain.
    All of this to say; you ALWAYS bring the right message at the right time. The Holy Spirit is clearly working through you. Thank you for trusting the Lord to give you what you need to make these videos for us.
    I know if my brother-in-law passes he will be in the comforting arms of Jesus and no longer in horrible pain. I’m praying He also uses it to bring others to Him.

    • @AB24Shine

    Wow today has been full of perfect timing moments from God!🙏🏼
    I woke up to my Bible app sending me the verse of the day which was “Don’t be afraid, I am here to help you.” Isaiah 41:13
    I screenshotted this verse and saved it as my wallpaper, as I started getting ready for my prenatal appointment to schedule an induction day to give birth to my baby boy who the doctors say we have no hopes for him living after birth. Every appointment the devil try’s to get into my head and leave me sad and hopeless, but I am going to get through whatever happens in this story, leave it ALL to the Lord because I believe that He always knows what He’s doing, and there is always a greater purpose to fulfill in our trials🙏🏼

      God has collected all of your prayers and tears. It’s hard when everything seems to be falling apart despite praying and seeking Him regularly. Only thing I think I can say is hold onto 1 Peter 5:10 for hope. Sometimes all we have is His word because nothing else in our reality is available to comfort us.
      “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
      ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    I so want to believe
    From New Year's Eve to ~Jan 10 I several times received Isaiah 43:19, encouraging me to fast and pray, then write a letter which was delivered yesterday. The only thing it did was reveal how little has changed and how impossible it is.
    I would so love to quit. I know Galatians 6:9 is true, but I just don't want to do this anymore. It hurts and currently the pain does not seem to be justified by the goal anymore. I called in sick today at work, and tomorrow is off. A bit time to recover etc.
    How gladly would I just go home to Heaven (I won't do anything to me, no worries). Nothing this world has to offer is better than what is over yonder in His loving arms.
    Thank you for your prayers.

      I feel the same way. I know God and I will never be on the same wavelength. I basically want money to have a good life, because money is the source of everything good we hold dear in life, or for God to pull the plug.
      Being ''blessed'' with a long life under these conditions is THE worst thing God could give me, after life itself.

    I really for sure Need this. Struggling now for some reason with my husbands wild history. 3 years into the marriage and didn’t know some things he did until he revealed to me. Really Need prayer to move on. Because though it was before he knew Christ, It still hurts to know some of the things he did with many women…sometimes multiple women at the same time. I have a complete Opposite background, grew up in Christian home etc. Any advice from ladies out there would be welcome. I unfortunately don’t have good solid Christian Sisters.

      Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. -2 Corinthians 5:17
      I'm not telling you what to do BUT my suggestion is...stop asking him questions about his past and driving yourself and him crazy. Take it to the Lord and ask Him to ease and settle your heart about the matter. You can't judge your husband for having a different past from you, it is what it is. It could be a test for your marriage that I hope you pass. ❤️

    • @Angelfooddiet
      @Angelfooddiet 16 годин тому

      I'm not in your position but I can say forgiveness can be extremely hard sometimes. I have experienced things that have left me in complete disgust with people but God says love them anyways. It's not easy. Especially when a person is not who you believed them to be. We must practice what we preach. God has forgiven your husband and you took an oath to love and honor him. I can't say it's easy. It may be the hardest thing you've ever done but focus on his present not his past. How does hubby treat you? Is he good to you? Is he Honorable in your marriage? Love that version of him. Also the fact that he was vulnerable enough to share it and honest is a good thing. He Probably knew you'd have reservations about him if he'd told you beforehand. But you're married now. Don't let Satan put a wedge between you two. (Remember Satan destroys marriage)Try to love hubby and make the best of it. Loving him is scriptural regardless of the mistakes. God bless you sis I feel your pain. It's drinking the bitter cup. 💗🌹💐

      Also Beloved, please cling to your faith. Feelings can change. He is a new creation in Christ.He was lost now he knows the truth. Remember who God says loves him the most? The one who sinned the most.... Grab your weapon (the word of God) because feelings can become spiritual warfare. Hebrews 4:12-13 Ephesians 6:10-17, Luke 7:36-50 💐🌹💕

    ❤I so easily doubt how much God loves me. Thus, He is allowing me to love someone from a distance, whom I cannot help (aside from prayer)--so that I will understand His heart for me, and so I will learn to trust Him to take care of her. I long for the day when my faith in God will be fulfilled, but He is preparing me by showing me that even in the future once she is near, I will have to trust Him to take care of her. Thank you and thank God for this fellowship and encouraging word; so simple yet so helpful!
    Also! Speaking of Paul in Philippi: Philippians 1:6-7
    "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me."

They ended up at his house. I find that confusing. Oh you just said they were freed the next day. I don’t remember that part being said. Anyway, this is very encouraging. Thank you 😊 💚

    That people love and follow God, if it's their thing, then great.
    But for me, this life feels like an event I was not invited to, but forced to attend. The one who forces me to attend expects me to praise him for the event, thank him profusely for inviting me even though I don't want to go/be there. I know I'm supposed to hate Satan and demons, but if I've been around experiencing the bitterness of life, the blame rests solely on God's head (and my parents, oc, but ultimately God green-lighted my conception and birth). If it had been up to Satan, I wouldn't be around, which is a wonderful thought.
    Not being bound to that pathetic vessel God picked for me to go through life (myself), not being bound to God and all his rules, not having to worry about anything, never experiencing anything negative, no disappointment, never knowing that there is a god, that sounds too good to be true, because it is (too good to be true since I am alive, and I know that God exists, and that death won't be the end of me)
    Couldn't God at least have the intelligence and decency of only giving his gift of life to people who, he knows, will be interested in it, or is that too much to ask? Answer : it is obviously too much to ask. God thinks he did me a huge favor by snatching me out of the perfect peace of nonexistence for a crappy life, he really does?😂
