    Thank you for this video. I have lost my dad, grandmother, a friend, and my beloved wife 😢in the past 3 months. My life has been torn apart. I'm a widower at 47 with a 17 year old daughter, and I have to admit, in addition to the almost unbearable grief, I am anxious constantly. I get about 3 hours of sleep and I wake up every night with every worry you can imagine. I've lost 30 pounds. It's been physical, mental, and spiritual hell on earth for me. I've cried out to God daily asking for some relief but it hasn't come yet. Could have to do with my lack of thanksgiving to Him and just like you said in the video, my not really believing that He can make me feel better. And its hard as a mere human, to be thankful when you've lost so much recently. I will not lie, I have contemplated suicide since my wife died on 11/3. Only things that kept me from it is the fear of eternal separation from God, realizing how selfish it would be to do that to my daughter, and knowing I would never see my wife again if I'm in eternal damnation. I feel so trapped and hopeless. I can't imagine living, if I were to live to my "life expectancy," 30 years without my wife. And on top of all this, I now question my salvation because of the faithless way I've reacted to all this. I am in such torment right now.
    I would just ask anyone reading this to please pray for me and thank you for taking the time to read this. Thank you.

      I am praying that God gives you faith in His plan and strength to endure out of love for Him and others. I hope Hebrews 4:14-16 can offer you a little comfort.

    First of all, this voice is so sweet and reassuring. Just reminded me of someone’s nice dad or grandpa! Love it
    Two, this really helped me break down the scripture more and made me think I need to start studying scripture like this. This helped tremendously. Blessings to you!!

    This has been VERY helpful. I was in a prayer asking God why am I in a constant back and forth with Anxiety. This was an amazing break down! I have been wanting for God to free me from anxiety, yet I have not been praying on it. Thank you so much! God bless. you and continue using you!
