What is your normal response to disappointments, doubts, or disbelief?
An uncertainty of a future, never knowing if God is good!🥺🥺🥺
Prayer. Is the best response to all disappointment, disbelief, doubts. But in real life it's so hard to do it. So let's not be apart from God's Love. Always pray and pray and pray. ❤❤

Amen Rodel! Well said and thank you for sharing. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Prayer. I am not very good at it, but I am learning that there is no certain way to do things as long as we do them for the Glory of God. 🙏🏾 That’s what I got from the lesson so far today.
He didn’t have to go this hard with this message. It was amazing and definitely spoke to me. I watched it twice.
He was outstanding! I loved his acting example of God on the throne, off, on, off. That was profound!
Arnetta, we are so thankful this message was impactful for you! God bless you as you continue to serve Him!
SUCH AN AMAZING ILLUSTRATION!!! I appreciated it so much❤
I needed every bit of this word. I’m in one of the worst financial situations I’ve ever been in. I’m a single mom so I’m only living off of one income. I’m looking for a new job to help with my increasing expenses but the disappointment of being rejected almost daily is heartbreaking and has been making me doubt and lose faith. Hearing how God has been coming through for others makes me excited, but not seeing him come through for me yet is discouraging. I just need the strength to keep going and keep praising him in this crisis 🙏🏽❤
Dear God, I lift up Devan Patrice up to you. You know exactly what their situation is. I ask that you would be their provider. I ask for their needs to be met. God, I ask for wisdom and discernment for their financial situation. Please grant them the tools needed to face these challenges. In your name, Amen
Thank you for talking about your financial struggles with openness and vulnerability. If you’re looking for wisdom and resources when it comes to handling your finances, you can find valuable advice here: finds.life.church/tag/finance/

Girrrrllll!! Your experience is almost a reflection of mine! We are not the only ones but I know we still want to not be struggling 🥹💕 how are things now?
@@Nesha_shanay oh my goodness thanks for asking! ❤️ After some fasting and praying my hardest, I start my new job on Monday with a salary that’ll support me and my son. If you’re still going through it, you’re in my prayers. Even though it feels like it, the storm won’t last forever ☺️🙏🏽
Brilliant message. Pastor Albert Tate is so engaging and charismatic. Thank you for today’s message. Please pray for me 🙏🏼 Love from Scotland 🏴
Hi, Scotland 🤗🤗🤗
Send them a prayer request. It should be linked in the description. What do you want prayed for?
I struggle with OCD - the doubting disease - I'm only halfway through the sermon and I'm already crying and have a peace of mind now.
Thank you so much, God bless you!!
🙏❤️
God, I am surrendering my life to YOU, IN JESUS' 'NAME!!!
Amen! 🙌

It’s been 7 months since I left my youth pastoring position. I had so many doubts among feeling betrayed and hurt by God. Especially since I wasn’t hearing from Him in this more challenging season (challenging mentally, financially, etc.). I was able to doubt in community with some good Christian friends of mine and my wife. As months went on I’ve been doing better, my faith in God throughout this season has grown, my character has grown. These sermons are a HUGE part of that growth. I’m excited and training for when God brings me back to full time ministry.
I’m reaching out to God

I have listened to this a number of times. It's not that I can't remember the things that Albert talked about. I wanted to make sure it soaks into my spirit. Asking the Lord to show me areas in my life. Talk to the Lord about everything. Everything. What do I do when God takes too long. I am taking the Lord off the thrown and putting me on it. Leaving God out of things only when it suits me.
Thanks for sharing Ian! That is powerful! Yes, it's so important to keep reminding ourselves of these truths so they really sink in! God Bless you!

I have been searching and reaching for God for 30 years, but never once has his presence done anything but make me feel worse and so completely unloved. I surrendered my life to him and its been a complete hell trusting Him. It breaks my heart even going to church anymore because the message is always ‘trust God and He will comfort, help, heal, etc. He has done nothing back make each chapter of my story far worse than I could have ever imagined. For decades I kept telling myself the same lies that God would eventually show up as long as I kept the faith. All of my doubts and desperately please for faith, and even the strength to endure the hell God’s will for me was were rejected. I wish I could even look back on one time where I prayed and God helped me so the worst didn’t happen. I don’t have doubts anymore, I know God doesn’t have an ounce of love or compassion for me, and that He never did. But I serve and follow Him nonetheless knowing He will never stop tormenting me in this life and I dread the thought of having to spend eternity with my creator. Where do you go when not even Jesus’s payment for my sins is enough to make up for his creating me?

Thank you for not giving up in your life, your faith struggles your pain, and all the horrors that this life can and will throw at you/us. Because you endured all of your trials and tribulations, dark nights of the soul, questions and doubts God is able to speak through you with such a love and depth and wisdom and simplicity that everyone who hears what you said in this sermon is given your own spiritual lifeline as their own. Of course I wept and wept. You words pierced my faith doubt like God himself was speaking to me because he was, through you. And thank you for the laughs and giggles because humor is such a powerful healing salve. My soul and my relationship with God is renewed. Words fail to express the the gift of all that you shared with us here. To the greater good!
❤️
Thank you Pastor Tate for helping me understand that even in times of wrestling I still believe❤
YOU ALWAYS PROVIDE FOR US IN A TIME OF NEED
🙌🙏❤️
Thank you. I'm a mess. My life is a mess. I'm reaching out to God!
God says come home, he don’t care if you are broken, a mess, in doubt, a murderer, addict, God says come home and talk to me, I love you, you’re my child.
Yes! ❤️
I am surrendering myself to you Lord🙏🏼

We love Pastor Albert here in California. He is anointed and healing communities through his love, obedience and messages that honor and teach the Lord’s Word, especially for racial reconciliation and healing, person to person. I also have so much love and respect for Pastor Craig whom I found during Covid. His messages are such a blessing! Praise the Lord, our God, for His grace, love and mercy…

I’ve been going through a tough time recently with things happening 1 after another and I haven’t been able to make it out to Church for the past almost 3 months because of one thing or another but I’ve been watching the sermon here every week s though and I gotta say out of all the sermons that have been spoken and all the messages that have been told, this one spoke to me the most. I have doubt and I put myself on the thrown to much and I have trouble fully believing and trusting God, but now I know what to do, and I’m gonna continue to break the strongholds and false thoughts that overtake me but I also know what to do now when I have these doubts.
God bless all of you at Life Church, and please pray that I can trust God and follow his will and truly surrender my life to Jesus as I already believe in him, and do what you said to do here and that I don’t slip away or loose sight of the glory of God and the forgiveness of Jesus. Amen 🙏🏻❤️✝️
Praying for you, ADWarriorLegend1. So glad this message resonated with you.
