    Tomorrow, I test for the 3rd time tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day for this year i can test. I have graduated since May with basically nothing to show because I need my license to work. I sit through watching all my friends who ive helped get their license and work. I lost my faith everytime i failed that test and regained it, it is not easy my self esteem has been decreased. I want this, im not praying to be rich, i just want to be able to work and help my husband pay the bills etc. I am trusting God and praying that he hears me and grant me this end of year goal. Lord I SURRENDER ALL INCLUDING THIS EXAM TO YOU, I CANNOT DO IT ALONE HELP ME PLEASE FATHER PLEASE

    Thank you Rick...I have been praying to God for something specific for the last 3 years and I have grown more and I do believe that my prayer request is a good one but the one thing I haven’t been doing well is dealing with patience well and keeping God #1 in my life...after this video I am still now willing to wait and grow more if I need to and I will never stop praying to God for my request.

    Love hearing you, but it's to late for my blessing to come that never came.waited 16 years , the time I needed God in my life has passed. I do believe in God but got tired of being disappointed. I gave up faith. Feels good to not be disappointed anymore. To you Rick and everyone out there hope you get your blessing and not be passed by.

      Ricardo Rodriguez I’m praying for you friend and I just want to tell you God knows what you need in order to satisfy your soul it does get hard and sometimes unbearable when God doesn’t answer our prayers exactly like we dreamed it but he always answers prayers and it’s always different then how we see it. You are so close to a breakthrough keep pushing!

    Lots of people don't pray, don't believe in God and have amazing lives. They succeed, they prosper, they are healthier, meanwhile I know people that pray, praise, obey, etc... and don't get a single prayer answered. Pray is what people say when they don't want to help you. I've asked more than 100 Christians to help me to get a job and they always say "pray", but they don't move a finger to help you. Eclesiastes 8:14 says - What occurs on earth is that righteous men gets what the wicked deserve, and wicked men gets what the righteous deserve.

    WHEN GOD SAYS NO
    When God says no He means no,
    charge the altar if you dare
    You may abhor His answer,
    all who cross that line beware
    For we’ve made prayer a tool,
    where we think to change God’s mind
    And we think to make God make see,
    what He has determined to make blind
    For we are puny men,
    thinking to change Almighty God’s thought
    For we think ourselves the spider,
    and God the fly in the web we’ve caught
    When God says no He means no,
    for God never with Himself takes a guess
    For far better in the long run,
    is the no we get instead of the yes
    Hard teaching for those in hard times! If the truth be
    told! KERCHLOW CHRONICLES

    hi pastor rick. i am 16 years old, and was born without legs. my mother was a christian and have always prayed to god for me, and i do the same every day. i never thought about being unfortunate for not having legs, because god made me the way i am for a reason- however, at age 12 i developed diabetic retinopathy, a condition that makes me lose my sight, i started thinking about these things. i have been praying for as long as i can remember, but four years after this condition i am now almost completely blind. have my prayers of more than a decade not been enough? why doesn't god answer?
    even so, i didnt lose faith. it was really until my mother got into a coma from an accident that i strated having questions. my mother had been praying since she was very very young- that's more than four decades of praying, yet god never did anything. my mom has a limp in her leg and had been bullied for it since she was young, which is what she told me and what she used to teach me to be strong despite not having legs. but why does my strong and kind mother deserve to be in a coma, and now she cn't even pray so will god not answer her at all since she cant pray now?
    thank you for readin.g god bless.

    Get real, God doesn't answer pray. This is my experience of 56 years of praying, is that persistent enough? Time moves on and unless God answers by a certain time it will be too late. I waited patiently but one day woke up and realised it was too late.

  • @eliciagarcia3601
    @eliciagarcia3601 4 года назад +1

    This isn’t to be oppositional defiant and argue with you. I just want to bring up another point that maybe the bad stuff isn’t a test and we don’t actually know enough about god. For example I was just watching an Oprah episode and this girls face got burned and melted off. She use to be beautiful and now has no face. I don’t think god did that to her to test her character. Maybe “gods testing our character” is us trying to understand something we don’t understand. Us trying to understand why bad things happen and attributing it to god. There’s some story in the corinthians about this. I recall there’s a story about this guy and really bad stuff keeps happening to him and people start treating him badly going “their must be a reason for god punishing him. He must be bad.” All while the whole time it hadnt anything to do with god. This guy suffered his whole life then dies and god never provides an explanation but he disapproves of this guys friends who start abandoning him and saying “god must be punishing you cause you’re bad”. This story is about how people tend to attribute evil to god cause they don’t understand anything.

      “As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.””

      “There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.””

      I should have provided the entire dialogue. I love how the man that received healing asks them in the end, multiple times who healed him, then says, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become His disciples?”
      🤣
      “As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.” They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them. So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” (His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.) Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.” He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?””
