after problems . ever one else seem of done better then me ............. what do I get in my life : no job , in the red (aka debt) not married , low to no income ............. yes this is what my life is like ........... ok I maybe missing somethink here??? but if you was in my shoes you might just understand how hard things have got for me .......... I really do think that god has turn his back on me . or maybe be I'm just failure at everythink ....... sometime I feel like quiting following god cos I know that I'm just failure and nothing will ever go right for me in my life , I'm so sorry to go on, but I'm at the point where I wonder why my life is like this, nothing ever goes right maybe I should wait on the lord or somethink ???, or maybe it will take a million years to Solved , sorry but this is the way my life is right now

My Dear Sister

You are a child of God and God never gives up or quits on any of his children. I do understand tough times and God clearly tells us we will face these time. At these moments we need to be closer in relationship with God then at any other time because Satan lurks in the shadows just waiting to convince us that God doesn't care about us anymore. We are children of a loving God and when we feel like He has turned away from us we need to look closer at ourselves because it is actually we that have created space between us and God. I do understand tough times, I spent 14 months homeless on the streets, restarted my life and feel blessed for the experience. Seven years ago God blessed me with a job as director of a homeless shelter. It was only then when I fully understood why I had to face such hard times. Get closer to God today, don't compare your life to other people, God created you for a specific purpose and if you allow it, he will use you. Trust in Him! I know it is not easy to do but look at the blessings in your life and I know there are many. You must stop focusing on the bad things. Surround yourself with other believers, join a group or call your local pastor and talk to him or her. You are family, I love you and I know God loves you. Begin today thanking God and begin the day with the heart of a servant.You are beautiful, you are worthy and I know you have greatness to offer others. I love you sis.

for Christ. Dear sister! No one knows how tough life truly is until they walk a mile in ones shoes! I know!! And I truly understand the pain of feeling left all alone! When I myself felt as you do now,I forgot something!!

Just as you have forgotton. What is that?? Picture this for a moment. You are Jesus,you have come to teach,and show by deeds the love you truly have for all of mankind. You finally have 12 disciples who have stayed with you,seems as all is very well. After all they saw and heard after all of this!!

Jesus was to go to the cross,did the disciple, any of them share in his pain? After all Jesus Christ gave to us as well as them!! And reminded them of!! Matt 16:24-28!! What did all 12 do??? They left him and fled!!( matt 26:56!!) Jesus knowing this, said unto us all,I meaning ME!! and ME ALONE!! No matter what you are going through, no matter how you feel!!

I Jesus Christ the living Son of GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU!! OR!!! EVER FORSAKE YOU! He said we must be strong!! And we must have good courage,and you well know we must!! You have gone through so much,as many here have also done.(From the Old testament( deaut 31:6) to the New Testament ( hebrews 13:5) Jesus Christ said and promised!!

Now we have to do something,we have to believe this,even through all around us is darkness,people laughing at us for believing. The world thinking we have lost our ever loving minds! We have!! Praise God we have renewed our very minds,by the very Word of our Master! ( rom 12:1-2)

At this very moment in time,my brother has been looking for a job now for 20 months.The bills are becoming due,and he has only one more week of unemployment, my family is down,oh what we we ever do now?? I will tell you what our family will do!!

They will do as they see me do! I believe God!( john 5:36-47) Believing is not easy!! it takes a great deal of work on our parts,because the world we live in, has no cares for you,you are not of them! But true we do have to live in it! Hence the testimony we not only have today,but tomorrow and the next day and the next,to show our light in Jesus to those in such darkness!

Our life!! Is that testimony! So what good would it do me to agree with members of my family? Oh dear how will we ever get out of this one? There eyes are upon me!! My eyes are upon my Jesus!! And when we come out of this which by God we shall!! They will wonder,why? and how?

I will just be thankful,for yet again Jesus Christ my living Lord and Savior has won again the right for me to call him my daddy! There is my sister in Christ 2 truths,one by what we can see and feel,and another,the Holy Spirit truth,that no matter what we see,or how we feel,we know Jesus will cause ALL!!! THINGS!!! to work together for our own good!! why?? Because my dear sister we love him!! and we are indeed called to be his living testimony for him on this earth!( rom 8:28)

Since we do love him,then let us have no fear,but rather assurance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not YET!!! seen!( hebrews 11:1) To keep this strong faith requires us to read, and study God's Word daily,it is our living food sister. Jesus told his disciple I have food you know not of.( john 4:32-34) So do we in him sister!! SO do we!!

But to have it,we must eat of it,and daily! For the devil is out there to do nothing but steal what little many do have even now! To force us to bow to what we see?? LOL NEVER!!! I am forced to trust my Jesus now,even as I have talked to so many here to do! Now it is my turn!!

Will tears,fix the problem? will worry? will fear? No my dear sister only believe, that will fix the problem,it always has for us,and it always will! I ask you to do what I had to do,fix your eyes upon what Jesus says,and not what the world says. It is not easy no!

But neither is our testimony to others! Follow,not just a word my sister,but rather an action one truly takes,to make this Word alive for each of us. My prayers are of course with you,along with our love for you here!! DO FOLLOW!! Be not afraid! You will know when you understand this,because when we do,we receive this!! ( john 14:27 PEACE!!)( john 14:1) Jesus here starts right off with something he knows most are!

Do not say or believe you can't,can't never did a thing! And can't won't help your mind either! Just do your best!! That my sister in Christ is all we can do,God knows each of us!! He knows what level of faith we are in him! He will meet you right where you presently are! If you let him.

Jesus is saying to you this day sister,do not look behind you,I am not there,I am in front of you,if you open your eyes,you will see me. Do open them,do know Jesus loves you more then any of us can even fathom! And do know his love carrys us above the hole we are about to step in!

Hold to what you know sister,not to what you think you know. We know Jesus will never fail or ever forsake us,if we do believe this,then we must act as if we believe this! May his Power and his great might revel to you this day,just how much he truly loves you!

I know this sister,we sure all do here!! We love you because Jesus first loved us! We could not take the lead in this,for not one of us understood what love truly is until we ourselves opened our eyes,and followed!( 1 john 4:7-19!!) Love not only saves us,it covers us as well from much sin we have had!( 1 Peter 4:8)

Finally sister here is our promise,one of so many we have,because we are his sons and daughters!!( 1 John 4:4-6!!!) May every blessing be made unto you,to help encourage you,to build you up!!So that you can build up another! That my sister is Jesus!! And that is Jesus in each and everyone of us!! amen!

Thanks

Thank you, guys. I feel the same way she does and your post have helped me too. thanks

 

[eddieb]

somedays i feel EXACTLY the same. as if i wrote your post myself. but i have to think to overcome. some days its hard to focus but when i have something he told me that helped me was "seek me with your whole heart and you will find me" now if you are down when you think about this you will just say well, im not good enough. in reality we arent good enough. every one falls short of the glory of God. thats why we need him. thats why we need to seek him. to look at him instead of our problems. i have the exact same problems you listed above. exactly. i dont know if it helps you at all and maybe this sounds twisted, but it helps me to know someone else out there knows what i know. and i am glad you posted. somedays i wanted to but i thought, no i wont whine about my problems i will just bear it. I am glad you posted.
I know this isnt a real positive message im about to tell you but it helps me have perspective. all that i can find in scripture thats promised is food and clothes. God will take care of us just as he takes care of the little birds. Now maybe we wont be getting the care we want but we cant base his love for us on our situations. joseph was sold by his own flesh and blood as a slave to egyptians. another fella in the bible was chained in a basicly a sewer beneath a castle. Did God stop loving them because circumstances and situations? Paul says its in our weakness that God is made strong in us. I urge you to stand on the word of God in these dark times. and If it gets darker stand some more. KEEP STANDING until God shows up. He has all our tears in a bottle.

 

[Brighthouse]

Excellent Eddieb!!! God does have our tears in a bottle!! Psalm 56:8!!

Maybe, just maybe God is speaking to you in his own way... Maybe u r not ment to be married and have a job that you want... GOD IS TESTING YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU ARE FAILING HIM!!! i no it is harsh but it is true. this is the time when you need the Lord the most.He might be calling you to be a Nun or another Holy Sister. Do not turn away from the Lord for he will never turn away from you.He wnats to see how you will handle things Wen they are not so easy..

Rite now you think you are alone but God is carrying you. Go to church and pray. pray hard every night and DO NOT GIVE UP. the day you give up is the day that your eternal life ends. If you end up still in the red and without marriage this is want the Lord wants.There is a reason he wants what he wants... See if there are any job offerings at your church or if they no of any around.

* I hope i didnt offendyou in any way and i would love to here what you think about my posts and ot talk more

Failure is a learning experience and because Jesus died for us, our faith in Jesus cannot be measured when we keep thinking about him, knowing that our true minds and bodies of Christ where eternal youth and health, along with brilliance of intelligence like Jesus himself - who knows everyone and knows what we are thinking and doing every second - will definitely give us our true worth as his family of God when we socialize in peace in the most massive and most futuristic community-built city: the Kingdom of God on a new Earth, where Satan and sin will no longer cause us to feel failure of unworthiness. Jesus values us so much when we keep thinking and praying about him and for him that we wonder how much supernatural power of love and peace can keep us safe and healthy as we live in worship inside his dust-proof, disease-proof kingdom of God where bad bacteria, viruses and fungi will never exist. When you focus on Christ and his kingdom, your imagination just goes wild with excitement, compared to your negative experience on Earth where Satan's spiritual attack is never-ending. You become like a police detective who keeps searching for the mysterious cause of your becoming a victim of failure - and that cause started way back when Adam and Eve couldn't keep their lips zipped to avoid eating God's forbidden fruit. May Jesus allow you to be victorious with his supernatural faith - while you have the voice of Christ in you to communicate with your local community where sin-causing crime and disease never seem to disappear unless Christ is accepted to all non-believers of Jesus where the Word of God is just treated as another book, suffering will continue until Jesus returns in his second coming to defeat Satan as well as removing sin forever from our memory experiences, where Christ's joy and peace will comfort us every second of our new future lives with Christ .;*;.
