Something brought me to this comment. May the Lord place his arms around you and bring you through these trials. Don’t give up. He is listening.
Although I’m atheist, there’s just something that keeps bringing me back to this channel to listen to this guy speak. I have received so much quality advice which has helped me in my life and for that I’m extremely grateful. This goes beyond religion and idealistic beliefs and I would recommend this channel to everyone.
So glad to hear! You are welcome here anytime!

Pastor Craig is about teaching Christ as an example of what works in life, which is refreshing. Think about all the 'Christian' ministers and leaders who have done so much damage in creating unnecessary shame and judgment. He's an example of what Christ is about.
Yeah I love how he teaches the Bible too 👏
Jesus isn't a religion or a manmade belief system. He is the real thing a relationship. The reason you keep coming back is because he is the way the truth and the life.
You are so right. When you accept Jesus into your heart it’s a relationship. There actually no religion involved. The more you read and hear Gods word the more you understand who God really is And truly how real he is!
You might be in a situation right now that makes you think you won’t survive - but 6 months ago you were in a situation you didn’t think you could survive, and 2 years before that you were in a situation you didn’t think you could survive. The point is, God will always surprise you and you will always make it through. 🔥
AMEN facts don't care about our feelings, and Jesus is the fact.

👏👏👏 thank you
I never thought about it like this before... wow! Thank you 🙏🏻
Today my sister disowned me
6 months ago l lost my mother
4 years ago l lost my father
Deep. Need that
I’m giving my life to Jesus💕
🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳
It's disappointing that people always talk about "raising a child with special needs" but NO ONE ever talks about "being a child with special needs with parents who literally don't care about you." My life doesn't matter to anyone. Only my abusive parents, who never did anything to help me, get credit for any success of mine.
So glad you’re here! Thank you so much for sharing.
You ALWAYS matter to God! He created you, specifically, just as you are. You are God’s masterpiece. Praise Him for who you are, and for whom He has helped you become!
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Psalms 139:13-14 NIV

I pray the same to you, I pray that God holds you tight in his grace.
I've been trying to persevere through (to be honest) crippling doubt, anxiety, and ensuing depression, for a year now. I'm only 20, and it all feels like the end, like last night when I didn't know if I would wake up a Christian and my mom held me while I cried at midnight. I haven't been feeling Him, haven't been hearing from Him, and feel abandoned on a dark road. I have no idea where the sunlight is on this path, I have no idea where the road ends, but I just know it must end at the feet of Jesus. I am not a quitter, I never have been, and I won't quit now. Thank you, Pastor Groeschel, for reminding me to not throw in the towel or ring the bell. Jesus is not done with me yet.
God is RIGHT beside you. You must journey inward, you must find strength and peace in the facts that he gave us. In this life, we must be ruled by what we know, not always by how we feel. That is why the bible was given to us, because it surpasses any negative emotion, and goes beyond feeling, it stands firm as fact, regardless of how we feel. The word of the Lord stands forever. And what it says, is whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!, the word says, I will never leave you or forsake you, it says God is close to the broken hearted, you may not feel it, but he is RIGHT beside you, the teacher is always silent when the student is doing a test. Let the powers that are against you, become your strength tomorrow, and I promise you this, together you will walk out of these days of darkness beside the King, and what a testimony you will have. You will be free soon. And we will pray until that day comes!

You could be describing me.
The enemy is trying to separate you from God.
Remember God is greater than the enemy, God wins.
Rebuke satan because you are washed in the blood of our savior.
You are the light....I'm 60,born into a toxic home genetic anxiety/dep damaged...a journey of pain and perseverance.I've survived abuse,rape,cancers,loss,divorce(married the same),etc.etc.etc.Born Strong to endure more than my share.1988/90 had my son and daughter,I felt my soul purpose God intended me for-they 'completed'me.My journey was never ending unpredictability.My lil alfie🐶kept me together after having to move away from N.Y. as semi retiree searching desperately for Gods blessing of peace under the palms.It 'never'truly came as the Lord continues using me for purpose in my selflessness for others.The very 2 halves of my heart,the core of my being 'threw me away'shortly after I lost Alfie(my soulmate).Although I was fostering 🐕🐕🐕🐕,my heart could take no more.I was able to keep going,then during lockdown my 7y live-in position w/foster🐕 shutdown,I'd already been sick n survived covid too,Anxious n desperate I had a 'breakdown'.Having to say goodbye to 🐕Lil Bear because I couldn't find affordable rental,I hit the road w/my strength n perseverance.Following Gods path has been keeping my endless pain purposeful(w/o my 2 +my grandson I'll nvr meet)Up n down eastcoast,I stayed in a hotel 7mths.used up my savings taking care of myself the only way I know.Caretaker of all,caretaken by no one other than Above-I did attempt to end this 'existence',the Lord called on an older brother of mine in Pa.to reach out and plea I give him a chance,hold his hand thru his pain too.
Here I am,thanks to my👩👧👦,existing only a living death sentence years now,only 3hrs.away😢.......Here in Pa.very challenging more tears instead of Hope...
60y I've never known 'homelessness'...I'm perfectly imperfect sinner Me,beyond done w/Earth. Gods not done with Me yet? From the bottom of my brokenheart I share w/you my Strength journey....you,my dear are young and Wise to speak your Truth Always. Gods got a plan for you!😍✌💜🐾
1 day at a time....
Anxiety/Dep.....Mental Illness of any kind,is a lifetime of 'balance'.Feeling LOVED is key(many of us only give love💔)Best results to feel whole enough also comes from having a support system(even if only professionally).One has to WANT help,to receive help.
You,my dear are loved and already making a difference as 'He'purposed you for-Have a blessed day Thank you for Being,just YOU😍
Full Version Serenity Prayer I live by and offer to all.
You are an example to all who seek finding wisdom in the land of suffering, a true inspiration on how God can do all things for those who trust in him. I bless your name and your family and your future in Jesus.

I have struggled with suicidal thoughts recently and it seems like my emotions are making my life a big rollercoaster. And it's really been so hard to hold on lately. This sermon was excellent in explaining the reasons why I should stay alive. A great message from an excellent speaker! Thank you, Pastor!
Thank you for opening up about your struggle. I'm so glad this was helpful. The national suicide hotline could be a great resource for you. You can reach that by dialing 988. We are so glad you're here and we hope that you continue to find the hope and healing that's available for you in Jesus.

God, help me persevere when I feel like throwing in the towel.
This is to our destiny as Christian warriors! We are destined for success and victory without excuse or shame because of what Christ did at the cross! We are unstoppable by any other force against Jesus, greater is he that is within you, than he that is in the world!
Write it down and rehearse it, because that is your destiny!

Me and my friend JD were having this exact discussion yesterday. Both of us are beyond the end of our ropes. I just shared this with him. I don't believe it was a coincidence that the Lord put this in front of me.
It isn't a coincidence, God put it there for you so you can understand something very clear, that he is WITH YOU. Don't ever feel like there isn't a purpose for your pain, we have such tunnel vision that keeps our eyes fixed on the problem and it takes the focus off of the larger solution. Sometimes God will show up in our fixed gaze, to remind us that he is there, so you can direct your vision onto him. Even though we forget, he reminds us still, and demonstrates to us clearly, how his love for us is true. He is telling you to tie a knot at the end of that rope so you can hang on as he pulls you and your friend up! In Jesus name. Amen

the idea that God is 'never late' maybe true to His mind, but to us lowly humans is often not a satisfactory answer.
Honestly I've been feeling like giving up on everything on parenting,work,my studies,my faith and even my life.🙇🏽♀️ its like God is far from me and I can't hear His voice 😢
Lord of the nations, you display your power in all the world. You are the miracle-working God. You turned water into wine. You restored sight to the blind and made the deaf hear. You made the lame walk. You healed the sick and raised the dead. You conquered death in your resurrection. Everything you touch is powerfully transformed. Let that powerful touch in life. Give the strength to follow you. Lord, bless and keep, make your face shine upon the fully devoted . Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
My faith has been struggling so much lately. Through severe financial struggles, anxiety depression and panic attacks, and feeling so alone, this message helped me to feel like I can breathe again. I just pray that I make it through and don’t lose my battle to depression
Amber, thank you for being open to sharing the hardships you're facing. Please know we're praying with you to experience your breakthrough!
Praying for you Amber! Don’t give up!
How are you doing now ? I am going through something similar , I will pray for you , I feel so hard hardened and my spirit quenched
This is the message that I desperately needed to hear. Thank you for this word of the Lord just for me.
Amen!

The devil is a liar. When anxiety attacks you and brings you down to the point where u cant go. Remember jesus died for you he loves you . stand firm everyone. We got this
Amen thank you for this comment.
I have been chronically ill for 6 years now and hearing “Don’t stop on 6” honestly spoke to me as I recently have been thinking about giving up
This made me cry. I'm currently in a season where I can't feel God, where I kept on praying but I can't see any progress, I feel like I'm getting so far gone. I feel trapped. When I see people loving God and experienced God's goodness, I just ask why doesn't God do the same thing with me too? Why does I feel like God loves them more than me because He let those people experience His goodness that led them to love God with all their hearts? I also wanna love God with all my heart. But God loves me as well and He has ways just for me, to see me through and there's hope in my heart that I can't express by words.
Don't ever think that you're a lone in saying that. There are many others suffering just like you trying to understand "why" but, the word tells us that he will never leave us or forsake us. Sometimes, WE need to change, in order for us to understand the goodness of God. We understand more often in reality, that God expects us to focus on the fact rather than the feeling. Sometimes we oversimplify the presence of God as a feeling of joy, although that is true, it is not a stimulus.
The presence of God, is there whether you feel him or not. And that acknowledgement, opens up many doors for us to explore the reality associated with our problems, that allows us to feel comfortable in the midst of pain, comfort in the midst of fear, that gives us assurance that a lot of the time, to be at peace, God expects US to fix our focus on what we know, not on what we feel.
Jesus said we will have trouble in this world, but God gives us a realization of ourself when we watch him work. This is a team effort, between us and him. God feeds the birds but he doesn't throw them the food, he expects them to go and get it. Likewise, we need sunlight, God has provided us the sun, but if you sit in the darkness, you're not going to benefit from it. We must find balance between the things we are asked to take control of with the resources God has given us, and between the things we cannot control and, at that, we are to surrender it to God.
Sometimes, when we observe something not changing, God is sending us a message that he already gave us the strength and authority to defeat our problem. Meditate on the word, on the fact, not on the feeling, thats why it was imperative for Jesus to come in the form of the word, because feeling a lone, Is not the answer. Facts are established regardless of feeling, find peace in that, and you will find peace in the resources (bible verses) that God gave to you!

Lord I ask that you take captive of my thoughts and temptation and allow yourself to work in my life. When I feel like giving up, I ask that you hold my hand through the battle and remind me who I am because of you! Amen!
I'm giving my life to Jesus! I lost faith after going my best friend to a school shooting and again when my brother passed in 2022. this week I had a strong urge to start going to church again. I sat down last night and opened a Bible for the first time in maybe 3 years and I was super emotional. I did my own Bible study on my couch and was brought to tears! i watch your sermons every day now and I thank you for showing me that it is possible and God is truly there
Praise GOD!!! ❤️🙌 Thank you Morgan for having the courage to share something so devastating and near your heart. I am so, so sorry for your losses.
What an absolute blessing that you listened to the prompting and opened your Bible. Amazing! Yes, GOD is Real and Living, and He loves and wants to comfort you in your grief.

Thank s for this sermon. ❤ I've been praying and hoping that my husband turns to God. 😢 We've been married for 9years and I just want him to know God and turn from his evil ways. He's a good husband but sometimes does things that I don't agree. I just ask for prayer for him to turn to God. That's all I want. 😭
Your request will be fulfilled, we are praying continuously that your husband is ushered into the truth named Jesus, and that you two will live together under his authority in perfect peace! Amen!

Love this 💯🤍
We need big prayers! My husband has filed for divorce against my will. We have a 7 year old as well and he’s heartbroken too. My husband refuses to try. Please pray for a restored and softened heart in him. And that he will find a new love for Jesus and me!! I want my husband and family restored in the name of Jesus! I speak the name of Jesus over him and our marriage!
Heavenly Father, I bring Mandy and her husband before You. Lord, if this marriage is to continue, they need Your guidance. Soften both their hearts, and show them the way. Lord, if it is not meant to be, I ask that You give them both strength to get through this, and to remain civil and understanding of the other. Grant them peace, Lord. I pray through Your Son Jesus, Amen!

Been holding on over ten years to save my daughter and my grandson to become drug free. Help me to persevere.
I RECEIVE THIS WORD ,IN
JESUS NAME.. Amen 🙏🙏🙏
What am I closer to, though? I have no dreams, no goals, no ambitions, nothing to look forward to. I don't live, I just exist.
I am closer to the end, though. And for that, I am grateful.
God please help me to persevere and keep focus on You, I might not understand Your way but give me strength to have a faith in You.

I’m in similar personal despair over a failing marriage. I’m waiting for a word from God. I’m not hearing anything. Please pray for the restoration and healing of my marriage. The lawyers are pushing and pushing for us to cross the finish line and get divorced. We are holding on but don’t know to what? I need you Lord Jesus. 🙏🏻

My entire 59 years of life has been a struggle, but GOD was always there to carry me. The closer I get to a blessing the tougher the struggles. I'm so tired and worn down, but I refuse to give up. I'm so READY for JESUS to return 🙌.
I am praying for you Patricia! He loves you very much! When I feel down by the world I dig in to the word more and feel fully rejuvenated! God Bless you!

Thanks for sharing this message. Oh my gosh! God bless you and your family ❤️❤️ Thankyou Jesus! ❤️❤️
God bless! 🙏🏼❤️
Just here to say that I am so grateful you haven't thrown in the towel, Pastor C! We are military, and I loved watching you all the way from Guam, now NC and soon I'll watch from Alabama. It is one of our goals to visit you in OK. Thank you God for the blessing Pastor Craig is to our family, and millions around the world. Bless him afresh in Jesus' name 🙏🏼❤
Amen! Thank you so much for sharing. We look forward to having you visit!
Amen God bring healing to all areas in my life as I persevere in prayers.
Craig thank you for sharing this message on You Tube. I have heard this message but not in this context. My depression has been high because we are estranged from our daughter and I have felt discouraged. I needed to hear, "I am closer than I think!!"
