Depression and anxiety of what? Cling to god, read his word, listen to uplifting praise and worship songs. Do a hobby that makes you happy. Focus on the good and positives in life. Try not to focus on negative influences around you. If something specific is giving you anxiety and you can turn away from it, remove that thing from your life. That could be a person , a thing, a substance ... remove negative influences and try to stay positive. God is for you, always with you, you are loved, blessed, forgiven, redeemed. Keep your head up. 😊
@Clayton Bax I am a born again Christian I backslid but GOD opened my eyes and I got back on track fear has always disturbed me ever since the 2nd grade but GOD is still delivering me from fear and one day I will overcome
@@zackirungu2282 your not alone on that road. Im anothet God is healing, delivering and working on. I been praying for complete revelation on Gods love for and towards me . His word says perfect love cast out ALL fear. I believe as we receive the revelation and understanding deep with in us feom God all the fear will leave and we will be overflowing in Gods love unshakable and full of courage and boldness for Jesus. Renewing the mind also is vital to overcoming . Getting to the root which began in childhood from what ever . Rather rejection, being bullied, abused in some way etc. We all hunger for love an acceptance and when we get the revelation from God and know our worth in him fear will begin to fall off never to be seen again. God will heal you .
@@TonyaA7 It comforts me knowing I'm not the only one asking God for this, Tonya! I just want a full revelation of God's love for me because I now understand as human beings, we need love to survive. I want to receive His love, but its still hard for me to wrap my head around the idea that His perfect love is given so freely when all my life I've felt like I had to perform to get someone's affection. Conditional love is fickle and unfulfilling. If God's love is constant, heavy, and rich enough as the Bible says, then I want to experience it in my life because like you've said, perfect love casts out all fear. And I want freedom from the fear that I am not good enough / worthy enough for unconditional love! I will pray for you Tonya -- I HOPE you get this revelation you've been seeking. And please, pray for me too!
Thank you. As you care to give words of encouragement and bless others, may the Lord take care of ALL your needs, beyond your expectations. God bless.you.🙏❤
Call on Jesus name when you start feeling overwhelmed and ask him to strengthen you and then wait and notice how you feel better afterwards! I did that and God took away my struggle!
I’m backslidden so much I attempted suicide 2weeks ago because of something wrong with my brain. I was misdiagnosed for years. Now I know what I have, and with God, lifelines and the right medication, I can live and blossom with my “thorn”. This wasn’t in my notifications by accident. Thank you Father God!🙏
The blood of Jesus, the same strength it takes to give up is the same strength it takes to keep going, you have what it takes to live again, to smile again...Now get up you are somebody, you are wanted and love and if noone show you that know that God will never leave you -keep chasing after him and you will find peace and joy, strength, mercy and favor that even you can't shake off.. sit in tub and watch videos like this or inspirational videos and don't get out until you are better, sometimes it takes me hours before I can get out but I stay until God lift me up and I have strength to face life again
So sorry what your going through, keep praying!! If you can afford it, I highly recommend seeing a functional medicine doctor, they look for the root cause your disease or health conditions. If you can’t, great docs like dr.berg, dr.kendberry, dr.mark Hyman are great doctors to learn from. I will pray for you! Hope you get better soon

Psalms 46 is where you need to be if you’re lost and depressed. It came at me 4 different ways yesterday and it’s so beautiful when you really study it. God bless you all.
My family and I argue constantly. It’s been over 7 years and we always fight. My dad is a drug addict and my mom is stressed all the time and put it on me and my sibling. I pray that God can help us because all I want is peace, all I need is peace and my family could be restored. I hope you guys have a blessed day. Don’t stop praying. God is in control and no one in life will always have a happy life 24/7. We need to depend on God for support and guidance. Being spiritually in peace will benefit you more than anything ever will in the long term
I’m so sorry to hear your family was (maybe still is) affected by addiction. I’m grateful I moved past that, but the avalanche of pain wrecked the foundation of the family I built, and so I have so much empathy for all of you. I hope & pray by now he’s clean, or at least trying, so he can deal with the emotional pain underneath it all, and healing can begin.
Yes, you are preaching today. I am frustrated and I know God is working with me at this time. So I will keep praying. I know this word was for me. Thank you! God bless you for bringing the word forth, so that everyone can understand it. Hallelujah!
Either way you can preach back to him and tell him how it is and still have peace and sing a song Life preaching and still catch the message because that's a powerful God is he stronger than her boogeyman's God bless you amen
Im exactly like your friend Steven. I can not think of anything good, because the good doesnt seem to matter to me. If theres something wrong, then somethings wrong and it needs to be paid attention to. Its so hard because I just want to show God how much I love Him and am Thankful for this blessing of a life, and for being blessed to know Him, even though I fell worthless and unworthy of even proclaiming to know God. I love this sermon. Thank you for your amazing ability to preach Gods good word. God bless you.
Amen He will never leave or forsake you I pray that he gives you everlasting blessings and surrounds and protects you with his love in Jesus name I pray amen.
We all meet adversity and it's true that person or event can be our greatest teacher about what we don't want. When pain or sorrow seems strongest it's my time to use, Let Go and Let God as my prayer, until we walk together to the other side of the issue and it can be forgotten. With gratitude and thanksgiving for this gift!
I have a thorn that makes me broken. But I still see Gods plans for me even when I’m broken the most ✝️. I Pray for anyone that has thorn’s, to see his mercy in the mist of their worst storms. 🤍

I just finished crying as my younger brother yelled at me.. i was frustrated and i cried and wanted to break my guitar and had random thoughts and this video popped up. Glory to my Lord.. who comforts me... Thank you Lord.. I'm feeling so much so much better right now... Thank you Lord. Hallelujah ❤️
God is so funny. I just threw a tantrum about my struggle to the Lord. Then this appear on my recommendations. He’s an awesome God. He really does care.
Ive been currently stuggling with lust these days .i know that everyone is facing this kind of horrible sin .but me as a follower for christ ive been thinking about surrendering it . And i did surreder it to Him but why do i still faced ? Day by day .i do really want to be His child but this keeps on bothering me i couldnt even continue to walk to Him because this sin is holding my feet . I need ur prayers guys this should be end . Coz i know this is not right thank u for this video pastor steven ive been watching ur videos . And ur words helps me become more open minded .. God Bless u and ur church
It’s a struggle that some people face more severely than others. Remember that God would not let your temptations exceed what you can bear. Whenever you’re tempted, just be honest with God and say “Lord I’m thinking things I don’t wanna think. I recognize that these are bad thoughts. Lord I take these temptations, I rebuke them, and I give them to you. In place of these temptations I ask that you will replace them with faith, holiness, and a desire to know you more. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen”. I can sympathize with what you’re facing, but trust in God and it’ll be alright. Just always ask Jesus to clean your mind and thoughts. You got this!
@Leo Santillan I've been struggling with lust too. The temptation won't go away but the more that you depend on God and talk to him throughout the day, the more you'll desire to please him before yourself. Let your weakness be filled by God's strength and that he can use your sorrow to help you be purified. In 2 Corinthians it says, "Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right." (NLT version) God is with you, Leo.
@@stephaniewilliams3507 Thank you for these words, Stephanie. Even though they were for someone else, helped me a lot. I'm struggling with the same thing too.
It is easier to sin then fight the temptations and that's why Gods children are frustrated I think. Also the devil is just a pawn of God's. Don't think the devil gets to keep your soul if you join him. Thanks pastor
Wow, I begged and begged cried and cried to God to pull me out of this deep deep issue or show me a sign on what he is doing to me and he led me here, seems like he is building me to be really grounded , so THORN it’s now nice to meet ya because I now know.
I know that this video was posted 6 moths ago, but I needed this. And although my struggle in life my be unspoken, I find now that this “thorn” is really a blessing, changing who I am for better, and knowing that His gracious is enough. That God really can wash away sins. And that God really does love us all Hallelujah
Take it one day at a time and Choose to play worship music in your home, play sermons throughout the day and listen to the bible on Bible Gateway app....All of this requires you just to listen nothing else, and see how this will start to bring you back spiritually.....dont beat yourself up just be real with God and tell him that your hurt that your Dad is gone but your choosing to trust him anyway although you dont understand.....Make your flesh do what your spirit says! "Flesh I will trust God and not live according to my feelings. Flesh I will spend time with God"..... One day at a time my friend, your going to be ok. 🤗❤
@@TropicalJewels777 is it wrong to listen to secular music? I'm tryna get closer to God but every time I look in the mirror I just can't take it ...I start asking God why he let some things happen in my life and I just turn out hating myself.. I have prayed to God but he doesn't respond. This just gets really frustrating..
Just take it one day at a time. That's all you need. Take that life daily. You'll take less for granted. You'll love only the ones that deserve it. Plenty more blessings in living one day at a time.
This was for me. Im still struggle after 22 years, please pray for me and my family, im trying so hard to do this alone, but I KNOW NOTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH OUT GOD . Thank you!
I will pray for u God what ever she going through God I pray that you give her the strength and healing and bless her with everlasting blessing to get through this hard time in the name of Jesus that you just surround her and protect her from that one thing and I pray God that you let no fear into her heart please because I know that you haven’t given her a sprit of fear but power of love and sound of mind so God I pray that you give her love during this hard time and struggle and give her the sound of mind to know that she not alone during this God that you fill her mind knowing that she isn’t alone please God in Jesus name I pray
Let's get this believers 24/7!!! God's people!!! We're gonna join together from all around the lands, in Christ, & walk out the victory in Jesus' defeat!!! This world is gonna know our Lord's Magnificent Love Light, with all if it's brilliance, to shine through us, Brightly, greatly & Loudly on this earth!!!
"God keeps us grounded through the affliction that He allows." So true and this is the first time I'm hearing this after going to church for decades. We tend to stay close to God when we suffer and now I know why bad things happen to us in life even if we are children of God.
I am a mean and vindictive person. I am set on revenge to anyone who wrongs me. I dont want that anymore. I want God to take my need for revenge and replace it with a need to love. Im tired of wasting my energy thinking about getting back at those who have hurt me.
11:20 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Really needed this today!! Praise God for always having the right words at the right time! Thank you Elevation Church for these awesome sermons!!
I looked at my thorn being my addiction. I’ve literally woke up everyday for a year and three weeks and bumped into it. I’ve never looked at it as standing in front of it like this. Looking at it. Thank u God for everyday I made it out clean and sober.
Hours of alcoholic until I was 57 years old and God took the want of the drink away from me and I have never looked back. Thank you Jesus Hallelujah and we praise your name!
Wow this is so high in understanding of the Word as a sister in the body of Christ I’m so grateful and proud that he even made all those connections and interpretations and metaphors from the Word of God. So God in Him. His clarity and teaching of this passage is legit INSANELY MIRACLE-esque. If you have ever tried to write a sermon or teaching you would understand how powerful this actually is. Like my mind is blown to pieces in the knowledge and heart and compassion of this video. I hope God helps me further understand it I’m confused a bit how to apply it. Like how to put my depression to work and suicidal ideation attacks to work and turn them around. I can almost see it. But maybe I’m not yet supposed to understand. I know I deff feel what Paul feels. Like maybe even what people did to me now causes a sickness and frustration in me to only see what’s wrong. But simultaneously loving God so it will get turned to good because it keeps me at my knees of needing Him and wanting justice for others. And to help others not hurt people anymore- because I’ve been the person hurt. ? Idk lol I’m grateful and blessed for this Word I’ve been feeling like such a leper/freak/outcast of a Christian that will never be ‘cheerful or grateful’ in the ‘typical churchy corny Christian culture’ sense of things. I long to be them. I long to be happy and comfort and ignorant. Is there a way to have no frustration and not be complacent as a vessel for Christ? From this message I believe he (Pastor Steven) says no. Is that true? Can I truly not obtain that somehow? I definitely don’t think I can with my deck of cards in life anyhow but was wondering if a different Christian could?
That's a way to look at it sometimes but I believe that God doesn't want us to focus on that thorn & just rejoice in Him for how far he has brought us & find that joy so we are able to look pass our thorns to honor Jesus for giving His life for us. This message was so eye opening. We can be happy & joyful even though we deal with what we deal with. 2 Corinthians 10:5... (paraphrasing) we must take captive every thought to obey Jesus.
Thank You 🙏 Lord, that said, “My grace is sufficient for me, because Your power is made perfect through weakness!” Father God, help me to find me a better place to live. Help my son to have favor with God and man. Help him to get out of jail and to find a place to live. Help me in my finances in order to be able to afford a better place to live and guide me to where You want me to go. Thank You 🙏 Jesus that You said that if I ask ask anything in Your Name my prayer will be answered by My Father in Heaven! Thank You Jesus that my prayer 🙏 will be answered! Debra Barko Dayton Ohio
But I am, I am strong through Jesus Christ. Amen amen I’ve been rejected by friends, by family and by church but I refuse to give up. I am I am A Child of god and he has a purpose.
Lately I've been frustrated because of a situation, and I'm not good at expressing myself. All of it was said in this video, God you always give me what I need, thank you!!! MY THORN BROUGHT ME TO THE THRONE!!! AMEN !! Jesus is enough Maranatha
My God...this message blew my mind 🤯 literally. This was so timely for me bc I have been dealing with an issue for years beyond my control. I prayed & fasted several times and it's still there. The way you connected Jesus thorn in that moment was so powerful & I never thought to look at it that way. Thank you Pastor Furtick for this amazing message. I will be purchasing this whole message ASAP. What an on time God we serve ❤️🙌☺️
On time I love you God thank you so much it never fails when I’m going through something I come on my UA-cam God shows me what I need to hear thank you 🙏 SF you are awesome 💜🙏
Tonight my 4yr son told me in the middle of our FaceTime, that “Travis is going to be my stepdad and then I’ll have 2 dads.” Then changes the conversation back to the game we were playing previously. My son ended our conversation asking me if I wanted to pray and then prayed in thanksgiving. I watched this message earlier this evening and then was reminded about it after our conversation. Praying that God will take my struggle/hurt to glorify Jesus.
He HEARS Your prayers..!✨.. Trust me. There's an ALMIGHTY Reason for the Delay... He's Setting up.. Everything else getting it (Too) into it's proper "called" place, and Will Deliver you from this "Thorn".... 🙏*Thank you Father God!*
I just hope I hold on I don’t want to be a statistic and hurt people by suicide. But man I feel- I know I’m not- but I feel so strongly justified with all I’ve gone through and this weight and heaviness of the past and present to just end it. I get close sometimes. Especially during 2020. I really hope I hold on. I want to please Him. I want to see what He has in store for me and wait on His timing. Hopefully I don’t impulsively make a mistake, but if I do I held on as long as I could for His plan and glory while loving these enemies that share my blood.
🙏What a wonderful message❤️. Glory to God. Im so blessed by the word. It went deep into my heart and mind. "Frustration turning into greatness"! Powerful 🔥
The unspoken prayer An issue or thorn that you are dealing with It's a lot right now Easily Frustrated, lack of patience I notice what's wrong How far I have to go not how far I've come Express gratitude and be positive Something is wrong Gifted by God to find it Profession is to find what's right about you to understand why it's wrong Take it away lord Get to work, it may not go away

I just finished crying as my younger brother yelled at me.. i was frustrated and i cried and wanted to break my guitar and had random thoughts and this video popped up.
Glory to my Lord.. who comforts me... Thank you Lord.. I'm feeling so much so much better right now... Thank you Lord. Hallelujah ❤️
T.H.O.R.N ✝️

Coz i know this is not right thank u for this video pastor steven ive been watching ur videos . And ur words helps me become more open minded .. God Bless u and ur church
It’s a struggle that some people face more severely than others. Remember that God would not let your temptations exceed what you can bear. Whenever you’re tempted, just be honest with God and say “Lord I’m thinking things I don’t wanna think. I recognize that these are bad thoughts. Lord I take these temptations, I rebuke them, and I give them to you. In place of these temptations I ask that you will replace them with faith, holiness, and a desire to know you more. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen”. I can sympathize with what you’re facing, but trust in God and it’ll be alright. Just always ask Jesus to clean your mind and thoughts. You got this!
@Leo Santillan I've been struggling with lust too. The temptation won't go away but the more that you depend on God and talk to him throughout the day, the more you'll desire to please him before yourself. Let your weakness be filled by God's strength and that he can use your sorrow to help you be purified. In 2 Corinthians it says, "Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right." (NLT version) God is with you, Leo.
@@stephaniewilliams3507 Thank you for these words, Stephanie. Even though they were for someone else, helped me a lot. I'm struggling with the same thing too.
@@moisespaiva1262 I'm glad God could speak to you through my words. God bless 💖
It is easier to sin then fight the temptations and that's why Gods children are frustrated I think. Also the devil is just a pawn of God's. Don't think the devil gets to keep your soul if you join him. Thanks pastor
Wow, I begged and begged cried and cried to God to pull me out of this deep deep issue or show me a sign on what he is doing to me and he led me here, seems like he is building me to be really grounded , so THORN it’s now nice to meet ya because I now know.
The whole audience should've started running on the T.H.O.R.N. scheme because that was so much fire!!! Loved it.
I know ryt power!
I know that this video was posted 6 moths ago, but I needed this. And although my struggle in life my be unspoken, I find now that this “thorn” is really a blessing, changing who I am for better, and knowing that His gracious is enough. That God really can wash away sins. And that God really does love us all
Hallelujah
Even though it was posted six months ago this preaching its timeless.
I'm lost I need it for real I've lost it my dad was a preacher he died I've been lost ever since I know he wouldn't like who I ve become 😞😫
Remember that God loves you no matter what and as long as you draw near to him at all times you will be alright.
I'm so sorry.....God helps, get closer to Jesus...I'm here if you wanna talk
Take it one day at a time and Choose to play worship music in your home, play sermons throughout the day and listen to the bible on Bible Gateway app....All of this requires you just to listen nothing else, and see how this will start to bring you back spiritually.....dont beat yourself up just be real with God and tell him that your hurt that your Dad is gone but your choosing to trust him anyway although you dont understand.....Make your flesh do what your spirit says! "Flesh I will trust God and not live according to my feelings. Flesh I will spend time with God"..... One day at a time my friend, your going to be ok. 🤗❤
@@TropicalJewels777 is it wrong to listen to secular music? I'm tryna get closer to God but every time I look in the mirror I just can't take it ...I start asking God why he let some things happen in my life and I just turn out hating myself.. I have prayed to God but he doesn't respond. This just gets really frustrating..
Just take it one day at a time.
That's all you need.
Take that life daily.
You'll take less for granted.
You'll love only the ones that deserve it.
Plenty more blessings in living one day at a time.
Totally there frustrated to the core expecting miracles in Jesus Name Amen Pastors Furtick🙏🕊😓🛐

Amen.
I’ve watched this now at least a dozen or more times and it blesses my soul . Jesus wire my thorn on Calvary to bring me freedom from its frustration
God gives us the ability to confront our issues when we take them to the Throne!!! Come on now! 🙌🙌🙌
Let's get this believers 24/7!!! God's people!!! We're gonna join together from all around the lands, in Christ, & walk out the victory in Jesus' defeat!!! This world is gonna know our Lord's Magnificent Love Light, with all if it's brilliance, to shine through us, Brightly, greatly & Loudly on this earth!!!
This is something I needed to hear. Thank you Jesus.
"God keeps us grounded through the affliction that He allows." So true and this is the first time I'm hearing this after going to church for decades. We tend to stay close to God when we suffer and now I know why bad things happen to us in life even if we are children of God.
Thank you Steven! May everyone seeing your message remember to put their thorn to good work! In the name of Jehovah! Amen!
To face you and use you to accomplish what God wants me for and let me remind me of the grace of God! Hello frustration! Hello thorn!
He went to Jesus, who worn a crown of thorns, painful thing that brought God glory..
God is waiting for us to trust him,stop focusing on the turn and trust him.
I am a mean and vindictive person. I am set on revenge to anyone who wrongs me. I dont want that anymore. I want God to take my need for revenge and replace it with a need to love. Im tired of wasting my energy thinking about getting back at those who have hurt me.
God bless you abundantly!
I HEAR you Lord Jesus Christ through the messenge you sent thru this Pastor.
Your grace is all I need! AMEN
Amen
Only way to overcome frustration is by God's grace.
Thank you God for using Pastor Steven to deliver Your words.
My Grace is sufficient for you.
This was amazing! I needed to hear this today.
In the years I attended church I never heard these passages brought up this way.
PRAISE. THE. LORD. THANK. YOU. JESUS 🙏 AMEN 🙏. GOD. BLESS you. Steven. AND. YOUR. Family. GOOD. Morning. THANK you. PAwan. SINGh. GOA. India

Really needed this today!! Praise God for always having the right words at the right time!
Thank you Elevation Church for these awesome sermons!!
Thank you God for You know all...the greatest frustrations in life are unspoken. Lord you hear, thank you.
the only way to greatness is through frustration..
The only way to greatness is through frustration!
I looked at my thorn being my addiction. I’ve literally woke up everyday for a year and three weeks and bumped into it. I’ve never looked at it as standing in front of it like this. Looking at it. Thank u God for everyday I made it out clean and sober.
Hours of alcoholic until I was 57 years old and God took the want of the drink away from me and I have never looked back. Thank you Jesus
Hallelujah and we praise your name!
It should say I was an alcoholic until I was 57 years old.
Wow this is so high in understanding of the Word as a sister in the body of Christ I’m so grateful and proud that he even made all those connections and interpretations and metaphors from the Word of God. So God in Him. His clarity and teaching of this passage is legit INSANELY MIRACLE-esque. If you have ever tried to write a sermon or teaching you would understand how powerful this actually is. Like my mind is blown to pieces in the knowledge and heart and compassion of this video. I hope God helps me further understand it I’m confused a bit how to apply it. Like how to put my depression to work and suicidal ideation attacks to work and turn them around. I can almost see it. But maybe I’m not yet supposed to understand. I know I deff feel what Paul feels. Like maybe even what people did to me now causes a sickness and frustration in me to only see what’s wrong. But simultaneously loving God so it will get turned to good because it keeps me at my knees of needing Him and wanting justice for others. And to help others not hurt people anymore- because I’ve been the person hurt. ? Idk lol I’m grateful and blessed for this Word I’ve been feeling like such a leper/freak/outcast of a Christian that will never be ‘cheerful or grateful’ in the ‘typical churchy corny Christian culture’ sense of things. I long to be them. I long to be happy and comfort and ignorant. Is there a way to have no frustration and not be complacent as a vessel for Christ? From this message I believe he (Pastor Steven) says no. Is that true? Can I truly not obtain that somehow? I definitely don’t think I can with my deck of cards in life anyhow but was wondering if a different Christian could?
*So God in him.
That's a way to look at it sometimes but I believe that God doesn't want us to focus on that thorn & just rejoice in Him for how far he has brought us & find that joy so we are able to look pass our thorns to honor Jesus for giving His life for us. This message was so eye opening. We can be happy & joyful even though we deal with what we deal with. 2 Corinthians 10:5... (paraphrasing) we must take captive every thought to obey Jesus.
Amen. This is an eye opener for believers. I
Thank You 🙏 Lord, that said, “My grace is sufficient for me, because Your power is made perfect through weakness!”
Father God, help me to find me a better place to live. Help my son to have favor with God and man. Help him to get out of jail and to find a place to live. Help me in my finances in order to be able to afford a better place to live and guide me to where You want me to go.
Thank You 🙏 Jesus that You said that if I ask ask anything in Your Name my prayer will be answered by My Father in Heaven! Thank You Jesus that my prayer 🙏 will be answered!

Beautiful ❤️ Use the thorns 😃
Lately I've been frustrated because of a situation, and I'm not good at expressing myself. All of it was said in this video, God you always give me what I need, thank you!!!
MY THORN BROUGHT ME TO THE THRONE!!!
AMEN !! Jesus is enough Maranatha
My God...this message blew my mind 🤯 literally. This was so timely for me bc I have been dealing with an issue for years beyond my control. I prayed & fasted several times and it's still there. The way you connected Jesus thorn in that moment was so powerful & I never thought to look at it that way. Thank you Pastor Furtick for this amazing message. I will be purchasing this whole message ASAP. What an on time God we serve ❤️🙌☺️
Take my frusteration and turn into greatness !! Amen
On time I love you God thank you so much it never fails when I’m going through something I come on my UA-cam God shows me what I need to hear thank you 🙏 SF you are awesome 💜🙏
It happens to me every time 🤯 God knows 🙌
Wow that was a word!
Thank you for posting so much this week. I’ve been checking every week, really just needed this so much. God bless
Tonight my 4yr son told me in the middle of our FaceTime, that “Travis is going to be my stepdad and then I’ll have 2 dads.” Then changes the conversation back to the game we were playing previously. My son ended our conversation asking me if I wanted to pray and then prayed in thanksgiving. I watched this message earlier this evening and then was reminded about it after our conversation. Praying that God will take my struggle/hurt to glorify Jesus.
My thorn as well as my brother's in christ thorn is the two people we live with. They are so ungodly. When will God deliver us from this situation?
He HEARS Your prayers..!✨.. Trust me. There's an ALMIGHTY Reason for the Delay... He's Setting up.. Everything else getting it (Too) into it's proper "called" place, and Will Deliver you from this "Thorn".... 🙏*Thank you Father God!*
I just hope I hold on I don’t want to be a statistic and hurt people by suicide. But man I feel- I know I’m not- but I feel so strongly justified with all I’ve gone through and this weight and heaviness of the past and present to just end it. I get close sometimes. Especially during 2020. I really hope I hold on. I want to please Him. I want to see what He has in store for me and wait on His timing. Hopefully I don’t impulsively make a mistake, but if I do I held on as long as I could for His plan and glory while loving these enemies that share my blood.
This message is anointed!! Do you hear me??? Straight blessed! I receive this message fully.
🙏What a wonderful message❤️. Glory to God. Im so blessed by the word. It went deep into my heart and mind. "Frustration turning into greatness"! Powerful 🔥
1130 elevation church is awesome God bless you God bless us all and have a happy peaceful safe holidays
WOW!...🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Pastor. It’s what I’m dealing with daily. 😥😢
It is not an easy battle to fight but i believe that by God's grace i will make it through
The unspoken prayer
An issue or thorn that you are dealing with
It's a lot right now
Easily Frustrated, lack of patience
I notice what's wrong
How far I have to go not how far I've come
Express gratitude and be positive
Something is wrong
Gifted by God to find it
Profession is to find what's right about you to understand why it's wrong
Take it away lord
Get to work, it may not go away
