    I just lost my mom one month ago due to cancer. She died 4 days after I turned 16. Throughout her battle with cancer I’d cry out “why” lots of times. She was the kindest and selfless person. She was loved by everyone. She served God her whole life and loved him with all her heart. She suffer too much in life and then got cancer. She was the last person expected to get cancer because she was so healthy. I still cry out why many times. When she passed away I was angry at God and refused to talk to him for a whole month. When my mom was getting worse I drifted away from God and drifted even more after she passed. I wanted answers and so I looked up on UA-cam. And saw this video and decided to listen. I started to tear up while listening. I would like you to pray for me. I’m trying my best to get back to God.

    My dad passed away from pancreatic cancer June 15. He never was sick. One day he called. Me he had cancer. He was never ever why me. Never complained. He told me it God's plan. He knew his relationship with god was great. He had faith in the lord until the end. He prayed for us rather then what pain he was going threw. He was brutal pain but he always talked about God and faith that we need. I miss you dad but I know where you at

      My Granny was a lot like your Dad. She was a Mother of Zion, praying for everyone and never praying for herself in front of others. She passed July 10 with a mass around the pancreas. She hid alot from our family, we didn't know until she got really bad. My aunt found her medical results on accident. I prayed everyday, mostly in tears until she passed.

God found me and healed me and now I’m happily married to my husband that loves me and cherishes me! Something I never had before. God knew my pain and suffering had a beautiful ending. Thank you God for never leaving me in my time of suffering and giving my love and happiness that I never would have imaged. Amen

    I survived my suicide attempt but was paralyzed when I was 18. I became a Christian after. Though the physical and mental suffering were intense, now that I look back, God used that experience to let me see him and feel his existence. And being a Christian is the best blessing in my life, I am glad that my experience led me to God and all my suffering is worth it.

    Dear Pastor Craig,
    I lost my little brother last month. It was 2 days to his 14th birthday. He had been battling a terrible blood disease since April and I really prayed he would be well.
    I had been very angry with everything. I hadn't prayed or studied and I didn't feel like attending church anymore. I had so many questions.
    Today, for the first time in months, I just visited your channel (actually, it was by accident even as I am a subscriber) and I saw your sermon.
    I was almost moved to tears listening to you preach, and I think I'm ready to allow God to heal me. I really don't see how this can work out for good in any way, but I choose to trust that God loves me no matter what. I rededicated my life to Jesus once again today, and please Pastor Craig, pray for me. I need to stay in faith. Thank you for your teaching. God bless you sir.

I mean, pastor of ???MANY Churches, plus husband , and father to 6 kids. SIX!!!!!! Sounds like he just took on more and more and more. Most of us can't stay up with our own personal correspondence!!!. But still, I imagine that he tries.... At least wants to take the temp of his people. Maybe you could write him a personal letter, tho, if you want a chance to connect. Though even then, I suspect his staff would send you a perfunctory response, but you never know. It sounds like you are hungry for interpersonal connection, which we all need. I hope you can find it in a small local church. God loves ýou and so does the pastor, even if he is stretched too thin to respond. One other thing though. I do not believe that the church that we see today is the way Jesus wanted!!! In the beginning, people met in their houses! They had dinner together! Communion was not a little broken cracker and a thumbnail of juice. They were sitting down to a full meal, and interacting, and bearing one another's burdens. Anyway, blessings!

    I’ve had a few “do you even exist” “are you even listening “ moments. Wondering why God isn’t just removing the pain and feeling of sadness. He spoke to me through different people and the advice received I kept on turning from it and making decisions based on my own understanding that ended up hurting myself and hurting others. I kept asking Jesus why. I’ve asked so many times to help me trust him in forgiving myself and trusting I can let myself move on from my dark past. Every day I still feel like I need to dwell in my past and bring it up to the ones i’ve hurt. I’m starting to realize that Jesus challenges me and wants me to work on my faith without me expecting for him to snap his fingers and make me instantly believe in him. I see my past hidden mistakes in a negative perspective such as “I got away with it” or “I need to tell everything to everyone i’ve ever done wrong”. Whereas Jesus has been saying that he doesn’t even remember my sins & I am allowed to be set free and not dwell in the past regardless if my mistakes are known or not to others as long as I have confessed them to him. He also doesn’t expect me to remember every single sin/nor he doesn’t want me to try to and dig deep in my past and try to figure out what else i’ve done wrong. Jesus loves me. Whenever I get a voice in my head or a tight chest with these negative thoughts, God’s word, every scripture, says the complete opposite of what I’m thinking. And it makes me confused and makes me overwhelmed. Trusting in God and allowing myself to be set free and having that faith that he wants me to let go of my past, is extremely difficult. But Jesus loves me and I will continue to fight to make sure I don’t listen to the enemy to trick me into hurting others.
    I’m surrendering my life to Jesus!

      Chris Davis Precious in the sight of the LORD is the dead of His children. Your sister is not dead, she is alive in heaven. Jesus said those who believe in Him will live forever with him in heaven, they will rise again even if they die. Death for Christains is merely a shadow, and those your sister died in accident, according to God's word she didn't feel pain because death has no sting in believers. Unbelievers who don't know Jesus feel the sting of death but believers don't because Jesus defeated death when He died and rose again. And He did it not for himself but for those who will put their trust in Him.

      It's two years ago that you posted this message. I have no idea where you are in this journey today. But here is what I have to say. I have been where you are. I lost my daughter to drugs. Before she died, she was stunningly beautiful, witty, my best friend and a friend to many. Drugs turned her into someone I no longer recoginzed. Leaving behind two beautiful daughters, she has passed on to be with Jesus. I get it! But let me say this., like pastor said in his message. It's our choice to love and our choice to hate. May I encourage you to put the hatred behind you. Press into God and know that He is hurting with you. Chose to love God more than ever, and while you are growing in love with Him, ask Him to turn your hatred into love towards your son. Tell your son how much you love him. Show him love even though he appears to be unlovable. Verbalize it daily. Overshadow your pain with love. Love him unconditionally as God has loved you, and I believe you can penetrate the pain that even he is experiencing, because believe me, he is hurting too. Drugs takes control and he has no way out, except through love. Love is the great gift you can give him.

      You said it perfectly when you said the one thing an addict can hear is love. My mom was one that bought into the “tough love” method of dealing with me and I know it is because she was hurting watching me kill myself, but none the less, it left me hating myself even more… but I had my grandma who never gave up on me. She always made sure I had a home with her and she patiently waited for me to see I needed help. She took me to my first AA meeting and sat with me until I found a friend.
      She is 90 now, and I am so blessed and honored to be sober and able to take care of her. If it weren’t for her unconditional love, some called it enabling, but from the broken one, I can tell you, that enabling was the one glimmer of hope I had to keep fighting my way out. To anyone reading this with an addict in their lives, don’t give up and don’t hate them. Hate the disease and by all measures protect your wellness, but don’t stop loving them because you may be the only reason they have to try to heal❤️

      If u confess with your mouth Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe with your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and that He lives today, you will be saved. Then go find a full gospel church and get water baptized (full immersion, become one with Jesus' death and resurrection). Then get the baptism of the Holy Spirit (as per Acts 8:5-14, Acts 19:5, Acts 10:44). These aren't optional, avoid churches that say these are optional or minimize their significance. If you do these, you will have all that u asked for above - you will be one spirit with the Lord, having the mind of Christ and being the body of Christ - completely like Him in spirit, mind and body as per 1John 4:17 "as He is, so are we in this world (not just in the next life but right now)".

    I cried unto God,2 weeks before and I told God to show me a sign that everything would be okay and nothing happened and I concluded He didn't care He wasn't bothered and it was up to me to solve my own issues. But He did listen. I met a friend who helped me realize that I've kept a lot of pain, a lot of anguish and misery in my heart and I have refused to let go. And one night as I went through my baby pictures I marvelled at how the tiniest of the things made me happy and I remembered how even though young I gave my life to Christ. I decided to sleep early that night and I mysteriously woke up at 3:16 am and after a bath and some small activities I found this video. God did really listen. God had my cry. God is there He is not late He is never late He never forsakes us. Thank you pastor Greg I needed this a lot of us needed this.

    I left the church. I turned my back in God. I missed up so big yesterday. science didn’t make me feel better and I have found hope in Jesus. I may not be able to forgive myself for what I did but I give my life to God. I ask why so much but I can’t anymore. I am so broken all I want is peace. I won’t leave God again even if I have to live with my consequences. I am still suffering but I am trying. I surrender my life to Christ.

      Let us pray now:
      Lord, thank You for being all-powerful and faithful. We trust You with everything, even our heartache. We ask You to be present in this temporary dark phase of life.
      You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. You are the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. You comfort us in our troubles so we can comfort others.
      Help us to cast all our anxiety on You because You care for us. No matter what has happened, no matter what choices have been made, help us see that You are always here to heal. We ask You to shower us with healing, hope, joy, and peace that surpasses understanding. We pray for a new beginning, healing from past wounds, trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. Grant us joy, peace, happiness, and purpose that only You can provide.
      You heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds. We may be persecuted but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed. If we humble ourselves, pray, and seek Your face, You will hear us, forgive our sins, and heal our land.
      May Your beautiful will be done, Father. Bring the right people into our lives during this season. We pray for new friends, relationships, and joyful conversations. Let this day mark a new beginning, a season of restoration for our family. Thank You for being our perfect and gracious Father. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

    I had to search for this because my heart is heavy. All these shootings and school shootings are impacting me, I know it is all of us. I love my God, I enjoy spending time in his word but right now, I'm hurt and angry. I know life can't be perfect, and we are given free will, but I can't handle all this tragedy. It's making me extremely depressed. I'm starting to think the less I know, the better off I am because I feel helpless. I pray for change. For the day, our children can be safe at school, and we can stop living in constant fear.
