Thank you. You have impeccable timing. I had just told a friend, "I give up. The country is lost for good." God will do what's needed. He's in control. Sometimes we have to be brought to our knees before we can see the light. We have to trust Him.
Wonderful message...we have to quiet and still our hearts and this can't be done using our precious time on Facebook etc. and the constant barrage of opinions. Turn it all off. Quiet your soul and spirit by focusing on God's words and spending time with Him. THANK YOU for this message!!
Amen! That's exactly what I had to do a couple of weeks ago. I shut the news completely down, as well as, respectfully told everyone who wanted to talk about COVID, and what took place last week, that I was not going to engage in those conversations, and that I was tiring of the barrage of opinions...period. I've been spending that time with God, and since then, my spirit has been at such peace. Praise God 🙌🏽🙏🏾
Three days before Christmas i had a dream that I was praying and praying for everyone in the world. Then I heard a loving,kind,peaceful,sweet voice from above said: I will send a light that will save the world. Then I woke up right away.
😢 Yes. You are talking to me. But as I despairingly scroll UA-cam for just “ one little glimmer”... though I know FULL WELL my HOPE is not found there, I see this beautiful message of HOPE. The Lord ALWAYS meets us right where we are. Thank you Pastor Max. And Praise be to the God who was, who IS and who is to come!😁
Amen! Would you please pray for the beggar communities in India? We are here to represent the love of Christ to them. Thankyou and God bless you!!❤️ ua-cam.com/video/uJ43oEi8bnA/v-deo.html
As they say "you nailed it". Yes, I felt yesterday frazzled, at the end of my rope, cranky, snapping at my dear husband. In a quiet room alone I said to God "I've had it. They can all go to blazes!" Then God called me to His book, & fell open to the last 2 chapters of Job and the tension began to slip away as God reminded of his awesome power. Praise the Lord for He is good, his mercy endures forever. So grateful for your words of encouragement just when needed most. God bless you all.
Yes ! The chaos is almost too much. Jesus help me hang on to you. Yes you are talking ro some one who is just hanging by a thread. Please pray that I have more tgan this little faith. Help me Lord not to fear anfd fix my eyes on you. God bless you pastor Max. Deep thanks from Australia.
Father I ask you to lay your hand on Sherralee. Give her your peace and comfort that surpasses all understanding. Surround her by your angels...protect her father...and cover her with your grace. In Jesus Name...Amen Bless you sister. I will continue to pray for you...until we meet on the other side. Be well🙏
Praying for you keep your eyes on Jesus, try to meditate on scriptures like Psalms and listen to encouraging music, pray without ceasing and turn off the news 🥰
Yes I turned off the tv today, making me depressed. Spent time in prayer feel much better, and knowing that God is still on the throne and He has the final word on mankind.
berryforthelord, Please check, and make really sure that this message was sent bu the true Max Lucado. I say this because I have seen this person say the basic same thing on other sites, asking for money for an orphanage. I don't think it's really the true Max Lucado, I might be wrong, but it couldn't hurt to really check things out , before you send any money, because it might be a trick. Gods work is always honest, and the blessings should always be going towards the true cause😢❤
I’m exhausted, it all feels like to much. My daughter has lost her job and is dealing with Health issues. I Thank GOD for you Mr Lucado it always lifts my spirits 🙏🏼
“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good for His mercy endures forever.” God is in control. He reigns!! God is good all the time! I put my trust in Him. Thank God so much for the message today through pastor Max. God bless you all.💕
God bless you too! Would you please pray for the beggar communities in India? We are here to represent the love of Christ to them.❤️ ua-cam.com/video/uJ43oEi8bnA/v-deo.html
He will keep us in perfect peace when our hearts are fixed on Him. Amen Brother Max. His mercies are new every morning. Thank you for lifting us up and holding forth hope.
Romans 1. Our Gracious God is long suffering and He is faithful to allow this turbulent chaos so that souls would be saved. That is my focus now for prayer. Christians must walk in discernment and a constant sense of desperate dependency so that He might find us filled with faith. Praying for all my brothers and sisters. Thank you Pastor Max, you have helped me find so much comfort and strength. The Word speaks Life to us. 🕊
Amen! Would you please pray for the beggar communities in India? We are here to represent the love of Christ to them. Thankyou and God bless you!!❤️ ua-cam.com/video/uJ43oEi8bnA/v-deo.html
Thank you for this message. The past two days have been overwhelming. I know we are living in the end days. Praying that God bless us and our nation! 🙏
I see that over 22,000 folks have viewed this video! We’re all in somewhat of a stupor as to “what else can possibly happen?” Thank you for reminding us that our Father is NOT at all surprised nor caught off guard! My church family sings a song with the words...”Doesn’t matter what I feel; Doesn’t matter what I see; My hope will always be; In Your promises to me.” I have to literally sing this to myself and remember to pray for those that do not know this hope. As Christ followers we have the perfect opportunity to shine for Him! Our peace and hope in the midst of chaos cannot be understood by a non believing society. Hang on, hang on sweet brothers and sisters! Thank you again Pastor Max! 💪🏻💕🙌🏻🙏🏼
Sandra , thank you for you families service. Hey listen all this stuff seems crazy , and it is , but I guarantee non of it takes our God by surprise. He is in control. Peace.
May the Lord bless, encourage and keep you, Pastor Max, and all Gods people everywhere, and especially in the US right now. Praying for you from Australia, with love.
God bless you too!❤️ Would you please pray for the beggar communities in India? We are here to represent the love of Christ to them.❤️ ua-cam.com/video/uJ43oEi8bnA/v-deo.html
Thank you for the encouraging message Pastor Lucado. Yes indeed. Always vital to hear from the LORD. Ps 46.10- Be still and know that I am GOD. Let’s zone out from the noise around us and all the other voices by tuning in to the Holy Spirit and the voice of the LORD. It’s time to draw closer to HIM more than ever. Fixing our eyes on Yashua the author and perfected of our faith. God bless you!
Being the good shepherd that you are I knew you would post!!! Our once great America has become Babylon. Why do we think we should not be "uncomfortable" as American Christians?!?!? TY Pastor Max!
I have had a lifelong struggled with anxiety. For the last two days, I have felt like I would pop like a balloon ! Then, last evening, after the troubles in Washington, I heard a mournful trumpet play....the military TAPS song... Day is done, Gone the sun, From the lake, From the hill, From the sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh. Amen
I have too. I keep recalling bible verses where Jesus says to not be anxious about anything and to not be afraid. There's a verse that says not to focus on the world because it's temporal but to focus on the unseen because that is eternal. Reading the Bible gives me God's perspective which eliminates the impact of what is occurring in the world. I pray that God will give you peace and comfort right now.
God Bless you Pastor Lucado these videos are a great blessing Thankyou for taking the time to encourage us with the words of Jesus May He continue to hold us all in the Palm of His Hands 🙏🏼🕊❤️
Just what we needed. A reminder of who is in control. Thank you Pastor Max for “ butting into my day”. I look forward to your timely and uplifting messages each day. God bless you and your family.
Thank you encouraging us to take a breath and take comfort in our almighty Lord! Thank you for your persistant messages of love and hope to hurting people!
Thank you Pastor Max. You are speaking directly to me. God bless you. I am learning to fix my eyes onto the Lord with a broken beat down heart and mind in these sad times. I know He is with me and that I am never alone. I’m trying. I need prayer
Amen!!! Thanks for taking the time to share God's encouragement with us! We are not lost! I'm still hanging in there with the Lord and yes, have to turn off the news, read the word and pray. Your words are very appreciated during this time. I needed more Godly encouragement today and He lead me to your you tube channel. God Bless!
Max, you are one of the most inspirational speakers, writers and encouragers of God’s word! Thank you for speaking God’s truth in such a simple and most hopeful manner. I came across this message today because God knew this was exactly what I needed to hear to restore my soul from the slump I have been in~Blessings upon blessings to you and your precious family.
Thank you from S.Wales, UK. Such troubling times but God is in full control, all we need is to pray for faith & leave it all in His hands. Thank you for sharing these encouraging words Pastor Max, God bless your Ministry in Jesus name
Excellent Pastor Max. We may already know but we certainly need reminded of His promises when thete is so much turmoil, evil & dishonesty. We shall stand together, holding each other up & still we praise Him.🙏
@Max Lucado who is this from? This is not from Pastor Max. I got the exact same message from Greg Laurie & I dont believe it was truly from him. I sense interference. Disappointing.
Just love your messages. I'm one that is totally wiped out with the horrible state iur world is in. Never any good news. Always at the end of my prayers ever night I say please Lord, help our world.. it's all so sad. He's got to have a plan for us. He's got to!! We must have patience. Good things will happen soon b. We have to PRAY. BELIEVE AND RECEIVE. PRAISE YOU JESUS CHRIST.
Oh how I needed your words of calm and encouragement. I have felt the heaviest heart and even fear. Thank you, Pastor Max for sharing your thoughts and making mine better. I would appreciate your prayers for the dark period of my life that I am trying to pass through. God bless you and thank you
Thank you Max, I have just started following you during COVID. I hope you will continue with us in your 7 min urgings from the Lord. Have read you all my life, I am 63 and now am blessed to hear you.
Never butting into my day ! This popped up in my feed today and it couldn't be more timely ,even though it's a day later. I was feeling just this way this morning, again. Such wise words that calmed my heart and soul !! Thank you and God bless you !!
You're talkin' to me, pastor! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I'm in awe of how alive the Word of God becomes in trying times like these! Preach, brother...preach!
Thank you Pastor Max. This is what I needed today. I’m praying for my country just as Daniel did after he was captured. I feel like this country is captured by evil; and, we as Christians, have to look to Christ. He will either bring us home, or destroy the evil. We have to have faith, even when we feel overwhelmed. That’s how I feel ... overwhelmed!
Many of us are at that point now. I believe we are under God’s judgement, as a nation, at this time. We may be in for difficult times, but we, as believers, have blessed assurance. Thank you, Pastor Lucado, for sharing this truth.
I am so afraid of what is happening. I am exausted. I lost my husband two years ago and God has been with me but I really don't think I can maintain my sanity anymore. I will start on Lamentations. I am alone, no family at all.
You are never alone. You always have Jesus. You have have a big family....many sisters and brothers in Christ. I understand what you mean about fear. I also was fearing things but then remembered that fear is not from our Lord and I told the devil to get lost and turned my thoughts to Jesus. I will remember you in prayer.....always remember that you are never alone and he is with you forever.
I had strife in my life CL Mcbee about a year ago and I quit Facebook,the news and got in a quiet place and looked for encouragement from my bible but also from you tube looking for human interaction.I read lots of books of Max Lucado when I was young,so when I saw him on you tube I started listening to his short encouragement post. If you subscribe to him you can watch them over again. He helped me a lot. I also started going to church but I am in Canada and we are not allowed because of coved but my church talks to us on UA-cam and there are many other churches that do that as well. Some of us need human interaction more than others, I want to encourage you in this. May God heal your sorrow as he has mine.
When trouble comes and I began to lose hope, I remain confident of the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, be strong, wait for the Lord. Psa 27:13
Yes, my friend, you are talking to someone today. I love you and am thankful God put you on this earth and for all your msgs of peace, grace, hope, encouragement. God be with you, Max.
GOD BLESS YOU MAX LUCADO for your daily encouragement to remind us that our Heavenly FATHER loves us and is aware of what we’re going through.... as you say in your book, that WE’RE NOT ALONE!!! I’m sure you have no idea how many believers you have helped to reassure their love and confidence in GOD to keep on going until He comes to take us home.
Father God, I want to thankyou so so much for our dear Max and his wife. Thankyou for being the ‘head of the arrow’ for us in so many ways Lord. thankyou for the anointing that you have placed upon them both,and thankyou for their daily commitment to build up the body.God, I want to pray for a 24hr refreshment for his mind and then body in Jesus name. That you would run through him with your ‘tap’ on full blast to refresh and nourish your son and your daughter.Thankyou Lord for hearing and answering.Amen
Thank you Max for your message of hope and light! Blessed are you always. Your a beacon on our life path and I love to hear what you have to say. I left FB this week because it distracts me from what our Lord has to say and I’m not on other social media platforms except radio and TV and boy that is plenty! I limit myself on that too. Lamentations 31-33 is balm to my weary heart today. Praise you for your loving commitment to the gospel and to sharing your thoughts with us.
Max - thanks you for sharing your message and spirt with all of us right now. Never are you interrupting my world. I appreciate all your messages and your efforts to keep speaking.
Thank you Pastor Max, you are so right! I’ve weathered so much this year, I just lost my Mom, covid, my BFF is in the hospital now with it, my two kids had it, my sweet girl in my life has been hospitalized with it, it can’t get any worse, I’ve been taken to court for caring for my mom, my siblings were against my choice for hospice, I’m asking God why? I’ve been up against so many walls, lost weight, dealing with so may things, put on meds, I’m so tired. But, our Savior Jesus Christ will never leave us, ever! Thank Him daily for his grace, mercy, and his love for me, praise his heavenly Name, Amen ❤️
Max! I have been re-reading your book, "You'll Get Through This", and what a perfect time to examine once again the points you bring up in the book. I believe right now God is reminding all of us about the lessons to be learned from Joseph's story and I love the perspective that God gave you to share with us, it has been such a wonderful blessing of inspiration! I would recommend to everyone to add this book to your priority reading list, whether or not you have already read it; God will bring you new guidance and insight each time you read through it. I love you Max, my mom who passed just a few years ago was also a huge fan of your books. I know you will continue to do His work and may He bless you and yours in this new exciting year.
Thank you Max Lacado! You are an instrument of peace. I so look forward to your videos. This one was just what I needed. What we all needed. God Bless you!💕
We will rest in Him...my immediate family of 5 have all been suffering with Covid since 2 days after Christmas. I am on the mend, my family still struggles...will you, remember us in prayer...He’s got the whole world in His hands an He loves us...we will trust in Him❤️❤️❤️
Erline, I am praying for you now. Praying that God will strengthen you and heal you and your family from all your infirmities. Praying that He will show you how He is causing ALL things, including this terrible time in our nation, to work for your good, because you love Him and you are called according to His purposes. Be blessed.
Really needed to hear this, Max. Agree about news and social media. Sometimes it’s too much. Especially the censorship. And thank you for butting into my day! A wonderful reminder to keep our eyes on God, no matter what level of chaos swirls around us.
Thank you, Pastor Lucado. I lost my husband of 37 years 5 years ago. This chaos in our World has caused fresh grief for me. I miss him like never before. You were his favourite Christian author. Your books lined our shelves. Your stance on the president heartened me. I didn't feel so alone. Your word for today has heartened me. Thank you.
If we have not learned anything else by current events we should have learned that our leaders need a lot more prayer support: and I understand better now why we should pray for our leaders whether we agree with them or not. Wisdom is from above . It is not conferred by oath of office.
Thank you so much Pastor Max!! The Lords ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts and because he IS the creator and all knowing I can stand on HIS promises, not mans.
Thank you for your encouragement Max. When it all gets too much for me I read Psalm 131 Childlike trust in the Lord ~Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes arrogant; Nor do I [a]involve myself in great matters, Or in things too [b]difficult for me. 2 I have certainly soothed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child resting [c]against his mother, My soul [d]within me is like a weaned child. 3 Israel, wait for the Lord From this time on and forever. He is God, always has been and always will be....and the more turmoil there is on this earth, the closer it is to His coming...YES!!!!
Thank you. You have impeccable timing. I had just told a friend, "I give up. The country is lost for good." God will do what's needed. He's in control. Sometimes we have to be brought to our knees before we can see the light. We have to trust Him.
Max Lucado I
Amen.
Wonderful message...we have to quiet and still our hearts and this can't be done using our precious time on Facebook etc. and the constant barrage of opinions. Turn it all off. Quiet your soul and spirit by focusing on God's words and spending time with Him. THANK YOU for this message!!
Amen! Social media is making things worse
Love your post❤️🙏🏻
Amen! That's exactly what I had to do a couple of weeks ago.

As they say "you nailed it". Yes, I felt yesterday frazzled, at the end of my rope, cranky, snapping at my dear husband. In a quiet room alone I said to God "I've had it. They can all go to blazes!"

Thanks!! Am breaking from the news and fixing my eyes in the Lord.
My heart is broken. Our family is military and we fought for this country only to watch it fall apart. God is all there is.
I know it seems disheartening and I truly get it. But, let's try not to give up. Sometimes I dont understand but cant give up. Faith. 🙏😇💫
Sandra , thank you for you families service. Hey listen all this stuff seems crazy , and it is , but I guarantee non of it takes our God by surprise. He is in control. Peace.

You didn't butt into my day. I've been watching to see your video and look for a peaceful place. Thank you, Max.

You are never alone. You always have Jesus. You have have a big family....many sisters and brothers in Christ. I understand what you mean about fear. I also was fearing things but then remembered that fear is not from our Lord and I told the devil to get lost and turned my thoughts to Jesus. I will remember you in prayer.....always remember that you are never alone and he is with you forever.
I had strife in my life CL Mcbee about a year ago and I quit Facebook,the news and got in a quiet place and looked for encouragement from my bible but also from you tube looking for human interaction.I read lots of books of Max Lucado when I was young,so when I saw him on you tube I started listening to his short encouragement post. If you subscribe to him you can watch them over again. He helped me a lot. I also started going to church but I am in Canada and we are not allowed because of coved but my church talks to us on UA-cam and there are many other churches that do that as well. Some of us need human interaction more than others, I want to encourage you in this. May God heal your sorrow as he has mine.
I'm praying for you dear!!!!
When trouble comes and I began to lose hope, I remain confident of the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, be strong, wait for the Lord. Psa 27:13
Yes, you're talking to me today. I needed to hear this message. Thank you.
Yes, my friend, you are talking to someone today. I love you and am thankful God put you on this earth and for all your msgs of peace, grace, hope, encouragement.
God be with you, Max.
Thank you Pastor Max I needed to hear this and thank you Lord Jesus.
Thank you for this message and word Max!🙏🏻 May everyone find peace in these perilous times😊❤️
GOD BLESS YOU MAX LUCADO for your daily encouragement to remind us that our Heavenly FATHER loves us and is aware of what we’re going through.... as you say in your book, that WE’RE NOT ALONE!!! I’m sure you have no idea how many believers you have helped to reassure their love and confidence in GOD to keep on going until He comes to take us home.
Thank you Max. I was so hoping you’d share something today. Yesterday was horrific and a word of encouragement is sure appreciated!
Father God, I want to thankyou so so much for our dear Max and his wife. Thankyou for being the ‘head of the arrow’ for us in so many ways Lord. thankyou for the anointing that you have placed upon them both,and thankyou for their daily commitment to build up the body.God, I want to pray for a 24hr refreshment for his mind and then body in Jesus name. That you would run through him with your ‘tap’ on full blast to refresh and nourish your son and your daughter.Thankyou Lord for hearing and answering.Amen
To much. Thank you Pastor Max. I am so sorry for the things people on social media have said.
The Lord is our rock, fortress and refuge. The secret place shelter in Him my beloved. Amen
Thank you Max for your message of hope and light! Blessed are you always. Your a beacon on our life path and I love to hear what you have to say. I left FB this week because it distracts me from what our Lord has to say and I’m not on other social media platforms except radio and TV and boy that is plenty! I limit myself on that too. Lamentations 31-33 is balm to my weary heart today. Praise you for your loving commitment to the gospel and to sharing your thoughts with us.
Thank you, Pastor Max. We must seek His direction and comfort.
I have to admit I am worried, but I am so hearten by your message. God bless, and may Gods bless this nation!
Max - thanks you for sharing your message and spirt with all of us right now. Never are you interrupting my world. I appreciate all your messages and your efforts to keep speaking.
Thank you Max. Another wonderful message that hits home. God bless you.
Max, once again you have offered comforting words in such difficult times. Thanks so much.
Thank you Pastor Max, you are so right! I’ve weathered so much this year, I just lost my Mom, covid, my BFF is in the hospital now with it, my two kids had it, my sweet girl in my life has been hospitalized with it, it can’t get any worse, I’ve been taken to court for caring for my mom, my siblings were against my choice for hospice, I’m asking God why? I’ve been up against so many walls, lost weight, dealing with so may things, put on meds, I’m so tired. But, our Savior Jesus Christ will never leave us, ever! Thank Him daily for his grace, mercy, and his love for me, praise his heavenly Name, Amen ❤️
Max! I have been re-reading your book, "You'll Get Through This", and what a perfect time to examine once again the points you bring up in the book. I believe right now God is reminding all of us about the lessons to be learned from Joseph's story and I love the perspective that God gave you to share with us, it has been such a wonderful blessing of inspiration! I would recommend to everyone to add this book to your priority reading list, whether or not you have already read it; God will bring you new guidance and insight each time you read through it. I love you Max, my mom who passed just a few years ago was also a huge fan of your books. I know you will continue to do His work and may He bless you and yours in this new exciting year.
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. Truly from your lips come God's word Peace and Blessings to you
Thank you Max Lacado! You are an instrument of peace. I so look forward to your videos. This one was just what I needed. What we all needed. God Bless you!💕
God bless you. I needed that word of encouragement. Thanks for being there.
Thank you Brother Max. Praise God for his word. Right on the button.
Helpful stuff, Max! Thank you. I wish more people had heeded your excellent 2016 editorial, "Decency For President".
Great encouraging message Max God bless you today.
We will rest in Him...my immediate family of 5 have all been suffering with Covid since 2 days after Christmas. I am on the mend, my family still struggles...will you, remember us in prayer...He’s got the whole world in His hands an He loves us...we will trust in Him❤️❤️❤️

Erline, I am praying for you now. Praying that God will strengthen you and heal you and your family from all your infirmities. Praying that He will show you how He is causing ALL things, including this terrible time in our nation, to work for your good, because you love Him and you are called according to His purposes. Be blessed.

Thank you so much!! It’s such a difficult time right now😢🙏❤️
God bless you Max. God is cleaning house revealing corruption this is good.. He provides despite things happening
Really needed to hear this, Max. Agree about news and social media. Sometimes it’s too much. Especially the censorship. And thank you for butting into my day! A wonderful reminder to keep our eyes on God, no matter what level of chaos swirls around us.
Thank you for reminding us to look upward for our hope.
Be well, stay kind and blessings to all ~
✨🙏✨
Thank you, Pastor Lucado. I lost my husband of 37 years 5 years ago. This chaos in our World has caused fresh grief for me. I miss him like never before. You were his favourite Christian author. Your books lined our shelves. Your stance on the president heartened me. I didn't feel so alone. Your word for today has heartened me. Thank you.
If we have not learned anything else by current events we should have learned that our leaders need a lot more prayer support: and I understand better now why we should pray for our leaders whether we agree with them or not. Wisdom is from above . It is not conferred by oath of office.
Thank you so much Pastor Max!! The Lords ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts and because he IS the creator and all knowing I can stand on HIS promises, not mans.
Maranatha🎺🚀☁️
Thank you Max💝
Thank you, Pastor for the words of encouragement- coming directly from the Lord's Word🙏🙏
Amen! God bless! Thank you!
Bam! Solid! Thank you! Some of my favourite verses here!
Thank you for your encouragement Max. When it all gets too much for me I read Psalm 131 Childlike trust in the Lord ~Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes arrogant;
Nor do I [a]involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too [b]difficult for me.
2
I have certainly soothed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child resting [c]against his mother,
My soul [d]within me is like a weaned child.
3
Israel, wait for the Lord
From this time on and forever.
He is God, always has been and always will be....and the more turmoil there is on this earth, the closer it is to His coming...YES!!!!
Thank you Max. You always give me hope & help me to keep my focus on God. God bless you. You are a gift. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Max - indeed difficult to swallow everything going on. God bless you for your insight and words of encouragement.
Thank you, Max, I needed to hear that, and hearing you helps me get through each day, with grace and strengthened faith.
Interesting ending. You never butt into our day! You add to it!! Thank you 😊
