    Years ago l was on the verge of taking my life , I'm a veteran with PTSD l had just returned from Iraq, l was lost and hurting l actually wanted the pain within to stop. The night l was set to end my life l heard this song and decided not to go through with. I instead asked God to help me find my place in this world and He did.

    The 90s wasn’t a decade. It was an emotion.
    37 years old. I first heard this song sitting in my mom’s van at 6 years old waiting while she was getting gas at a diamond shamrock gas station in Arlington TX. It made such an impression I always remembered it and how I felt when I first heard it. I’m listening to this at that same gas station and haven’t been here since the early 90s.

      I was 11 when "Change Your World" was released, and I bought it off CCM. And I spend hours listening to it on my parents' CD player.
      Perhaps in "eternity," the places we visit will embody the best of various eras of human history. I'll definitely be visiting the 90's a lot!

So bad I am seeing a therapist. My baby that adopted 10 years ago helped me a lot through a bad time in my life. He was my guardian angel here on earth and now my guardian angel in his spirit form.

    I'm a Cancer survivor of 4 years. Doctors say one more year before they say "I beat it". I'm 47 years old, made so many bad choices against the will of God. I am a mom to two young adults with special needs. I pray God gives me many more years. First time ever, I can truly say, I am ready to do His will. I have wanted to all along, but my flesh got in the way. Lord, guide me into your will and a better life serving you.

      I think everyone in their lives comes to the realization and time where they don't know where their "place is" in life... I can relate as I am 44 and in a few weeks I'll be 45... Have nothing to show for it... Separated, no kids or family of my own, have health issues and feel very alone and lonely... I get teary-eyed when I see couples showing affection because I hate being alone... And the rejection of possible "significant others" is a total letdown... Life can suck sometimes.

    That was my anthem 30 years ago. It’s now my anthem again. We plan for everything…but the things we cannot plan for. Becoming disabled between my late 20s and early 30s is something I never planned for. As a gymnast and a cheerleader and a very physically active person, Jesus decided he wanted me to take a different path all together. I’ve been trying for more than a decade to figure out my new purpose, what it is, and how I can serve God’s purpose, when I spend so much time in the bed by myself. But if there is one thing I have learned, it is that God is in control. And no matter how much I want to take the control back, it is not possible. Fall in line, and follow Jesus, otherwise there is no hope, and living in a fallen and broken world is a quick demise for the soft-hearted and painfully empathetic. Praying for anyone else who struggles with understanding where their place in the world is. I thought I had it all figured out…Only to be reminded that I’m not the one who is in control. I already knew it, but I had to lose a lot of myself to accept those still small facts. It is not mine, but Yours, Jesus. Please lead me to do Your will in the midst and depths of my life’s continual pain and storms. I love you, my Abba-Papa. ❤🤟🏻🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️

      Christ died for our sins! Are you saved in the Lord Jesus Christ?
      Your good works doesn't pay for your bad works, you need a 'payment' for your sins and that is Jesus Christ. You cannot do it alone, Jesus Christ paid it all for you, the only thing you have to do is 'believe' in what He did for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only cure for sin, so please believe in what He did, His death, burial and resurrection - found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, saves lost souls when you truly believe from your heart.
      Ephesians 1:13, saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
      Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Please get saved now, time is running out!!

    I woke up with this old Christian song playing in my mind. I used to listen to this song through my headphones 🎧 outside on a hill by myself when I was 9 yrs old. It was when my stepdad was sexually abusing me horribly. I thought I could kill myself at 9 & still go to heaven because my Aunt Joan had told me all children go to heaven.
    But God showed me that song as a child & I remember listening & singing it as loud as I could while crying. The Holy Spirit was comforting me & telling me that I had a great plan for my life when I grew up if I didn’t kill myself.
    When I woke up with it on my heart this morning at age 44 that memory came flooding back like I was there again as a 9 year old. The Holy Spirit took me back this morning to help me to remember when I was a young, abused child. And to remind me He kept His promise for my life.
    I’ve been married for 27 years to an amazing, kind, God-loving man who’s treated me like a queen. Sure we’ve had our bad moments but my husband is so good to me every day. We’ve raised our 2 daughters who are now ages 26 & 24 in a home where they never experienced the horrors I did as a child.
    We’re not materialistic but we’re very wealthy because God has blessed our lives with things money can not buy; with joy, peace, & true happiness. Our blessings aren’t counted in terms of dollars, nor the cars we drive, or the style of house we own. Our blessings are enduring. They are abiding. They are blessings that will carry with us over to the grave & into heaven.
    We’re old fashioned & enjoy life’s simplest yet greatest pleasures. We live a life of adventures from hiking mountains to boating on beautiful lakes. Everyone has said for years that my husband and I are one of the most happy, beautiful couples they’ve ever met. We get along so well and are serving one another from the time we wake until we go to bed at night.
    We’ll never be popular influencers or well known but I’m thankful for our quant, simple life, and our reputation of being the most loving couple others know, and our salvation.
    Jesus redeemed the broken, sad soul of 9 year old little girl and has blessed my life immensely.
    Place in This World/lyrics:
    The wind is moving
    But I am standing still
    A life of pages
    Waiting to be filled
    A heart that's hopeful
    A head that's full of dreams
    But this becoming
    Is harder than it seems
    Feels like
    I'm looking for a reason
    Roaming through the night to find
    My place in this world
    My place in this world
    Not a lot to lean on
    I need your light to help me find
    My place in this world
    My place in this world
    If there are millions
    Down on their knees
    Among the many
    Can you still hear me?
    Hear me asking
    Where do I belong?
    Is there a vision
    That I can call my own?
    Show me
    I'm looking for a reason
    Roaming through the night to find
    My place in this world
    My place in this world
    Not a lot to lean on
    I need your light to help me find
    My place in this world
    My place in this world
    Looking for a reason
    Roaming through the night to find
    My place in this world
    My place in this world
    Not a lot to lean on
    I need your light to help me find
    My place in this world
    My place in this world
    Looking for a reason
    Roaming through the night to find
    My place in this world
    My place in this world

Tell her it disent change a thing to hold onto that anger. Or resentment. It changes us but does nothing to change the past or the offender. So let it go . don't let what someone did it said ruin the rest if your life. It's in God's hands. Has been. Always will be. Try to move fireward. Positively! Amen !

    For those of you out there looking for guidance, look inside yourself to find it. For those of you questioning your faith for whatever reason, take stock in the miracle of life. Life is full of ups and downs for a reason. The reasons for this are beyond our grasp and shall remain a mystery. In a very short period of time we will be given all the answers, but until then rejoice in the magic of the unknown and take pride in your existence, because an infinite number of events had to coalesce perfectly for you to be alive.

    • @frozenyetihead
      @frozenyetihead 6 месяцев назад +2

      If I looked inside myself for the answers I would be dead already. The answer is from, without of yourself. It is from Jesus.
      He gives you a purpose and reason for living. When I was 4 I was reduced to human hamburger by a dog. But God was not done with me and he kept me alive and gave me several things he wanted me to do for him.
      Including being a foster dad among other things.

      Don't trust in yourself. Trust in Jesus for salvation. We as humans will never be able to execute perfection. But Christ, the perfect One, will never let us down. Trusting in Him alone leads to true joy and eternal life.
      Jeremiah 17:5-8 ESV - Thus says the LORD:
      “Cursed is the man who trusts in man
      and makes flesh his strength,
      whose heart turns away from the LORD. He is like a shrub in the desert,
      and shall not see any good come.
      He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
      in an uninhabited salt land. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
      whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water,
      that sends out its roots by the stream,
      and does not fear when heat comes,
      for its leaves remain green,
      and is not anxious in the year of drought,
      for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

    I heard this song about 13 years ago and i was going through a very difficult time in my life then. It touched me and i cried and prayed that one day i find my place in this world. God answered me and i have. He is always with us.

    I heard this song a long time ago and found this music video version of it recently. I am still trying to find my place in this world and to strengthen my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I won't go into details- but something happened with the church that I am a part of that I am in disagreement with but I would still like to serve any way that I can and to put what happened behind me. I love Jesus Christ very much and I desire to be in Heaven with HIM more than anything I would ever want in my life. I am thankful that God has given me the life I have had and the people in it. If I were to ask anything of the Lord- it would be to be given a second chance to get things right and have another chance to correct some things that I have done wrong but I don't know if HE would ever grant that.

    I remember the place where this song hit the hardest. I was 12 and was abused as a child and this song helped motivate me to get through it and now those are just memories. This song will forever have a place in my heart.

    One of my favorite songs. Gave my life to Christ soon after hearing this song for the first time.

    Dear Heavenly Father, I’m turning 50 10/05/23 I’ve ran from your directions my entire life. Now as many of my closest friends are no more through death, and just simply falling apart, my parents are gone to be with you etc I’m stagnant, and perplexed. I truly have grown weary of this world, and this life you bestowed upon me. I’m 50 with no place to really say I belong. I don’t know how to do what you asked me to do with all my mess I carry. I simply ask for you to take me home. I’m alone and tired. Amen 🙏🏿 PLEASE COME SOON LORD! I don’t know how much more I can take.

    This song came out when I needed Him the most, somehow I stumbled on it again when I need it again. My first concert was for MWS in Houston.

    I forgot about this song until recently when I came across a RUclips video discussing DX7 E.Piano sounds. My mom used to listen to it all the time for a while when I was a kid. I didn't give it much the time of day then but apparently it had an effect because now I'm a full grown man in tears. The culture sucks so bad these days...songs like this really put it in perspective how far we've fallen. Too much darkness in this world today! Need more songs like this!
