  • Hey! What do you do when others seem to be being blessed before you? Trust me, I know the feeling. While we can rejoice with others seemingly being blessed "before" us, we can also rejoice in a God who remembers us.
    In this video, I'll be diving into 1 Samuel 1 and reflecting on Hannah's story. Hannah wasn't able to have children while her husband's second wife Peninnah had TEN children. Others may seem to be being blessed before you but know that God's timing is perfect.
    As always, let me know in the comments if this video encouraged you! 💕

    For over a year I was in and out of court fighting for custody of my son. His dad decided to file for primary custody when I decided to move to another state for a better life, a school for my kids, and a job opportunity. His dad had never done anything for our son. He had an attorney and I didn't, they dragged me through the mud. I was in court every month where it had to go to trial. I was so scared and had so much anxiety. I fasted, prayed, and cried on my face before God.. I did not understand why he was not helping me, why I couldn't get a lawyer, no one would help me because of my finances. Just 2 weeks ago we had a trial (3 hours long) and the Judge ruled in my favor. 🙌 I walked into the courtroom alone, shaking, with no representation, facing the judge and attorney but walked out VICTORIUS. God sent his army of angels before me and he was my defender. This season God showed me that all I need is him. He was the help I needed all along. He had not forgotten me.

    When I was in grad school, I had a major dental issue come up when I was between insurance. I was in excruciating pain and would have to pay out of pocket for the procedure - money I didn't have and could not find. One day, I was driving out of town for the weekend when I cried out to the Lord. W/ humility, I asked if He could take 2 seconds to look at little me. Someone who was powerless w/o Him. When I got home, there was an unopened piece of mail my mom said looked important. It was a check from an insurance company that claimed I overpaid. I say "claimed" b/c I kept meticulous records and know for a fact I never overpaid them. The check was for almost the exact amount of the procedure (just a hint more). That was 15+ years ago. When doubt starts to creep in, I remind myself that He is still God; the same God who cared about the tooth of the small town girl who cried out in her moment of desperation. And He'll do it again.

I’m absolutely elated for them but it’s like wow is this really what I have to look forward to? Always getting a no and having to wait and everyone around me gets their yes. I now have been single for 4 years and I even recently wept to God about this like in November or December and I am currently still waiting on the desires of my heart.

      I'm so sorry. I pray your 60:22 time is NOW. Mind your internal posture as well, and serve others as well, especially those who are in seasons of the prayers you're praying, this could be as "simple" as saying a prayer for a close friend or relative who just got engaged, pray for their union, their safety, provision, just pray that the Lord is with them through and through. Serve them with love. It'll lessen the load less (emotional pain). I've found that helps me the most. God is faithful and Jesus Christ is so loving, He's been teaching me so much about serving, even in my pain and where I've been seeing so many people around me being blessed with children, jobs, beautiful unions of love - but instead of doing that, I'm learning to be grateful because in as much as I want those things, His approval is important to me, without His "Yes" and His "Presence" , I know I won't want it. Remember that He loves you deeply, more than you can fathom. You're not alone. Stay in faith, where it lacks, pray, and speak to Jesus to give you more faith and His joy. ❤ It's going to happen, soon. All at once, I pray it's in 2024 for you.

    For me, it's not even that other people are being blessed before me because I know for a fact that we can not all be at the same place at the same time. For me, it's God forgetting about me. I have felt for a long time that God surely forgot me. In fact, a friend of mine said she feels like God put her here on earth to suffer but at the same time Pray for other people's needs while she continues to suffer. I cried when she made that statement because this girl has struggled with life ever since she was put in this earth. 2023 was one of the worst years I have ever experienced. I wondered where God was and several times even contemplated suicide. I hope God remembers me this year. I am not even asking for much. I just want to remembered each month or day by day.

I shared that because I have seen people post 3 videos and reach that milestone, or 50 videos and reach that milestone. I just kept asking the Father "what am I doing wrong". And I simply had to realize that I am still being prepared.

    What an amazing message. I have been in my wilderness period for years. I’ve watched others receive the blessings I have been praying for for over a decade. Marriage, children, my own family……Still I remain faithful. During this time I have put so much work into myself and healing my mind, body and spirit from situations that I’ve endured. I had to learn that in order for me to receive the blessings God has for me, I had to put in the work of healing and trusting that God will deliver on those promises. Everyday is not easy but I’m far from where I use to be. Most days I’m smiling and basking in God’s love because I see the work he’s doing in my life. I just have to remain faithful even when I have minor moments of weakness.

    God lead to me listen to this message this morning. A friend of mine is getting married today and another one of my friends is relocating to Ireland tomorrow she got a job there. I’m extremely happy for them. But also a bit sad because I’ve been praying for a job and a stable relationship for 3 years now. Sometimes I feel like God has forgotten about me 😢 nevertheless I still cling to him and keep faith that he will bless me when the time is right 🙏🏾

    A month after this was posted it found me when I needed it the most. At the end of Oct, I ended up rupturing my patella tendon and needed surgery. I was not prepared for it. Nothing was saved up and I hadn't been at my job long enough to receive enough leave to supplement the 8 weeks I would be out of work. Fast forward, I've been out of work for two months and have lost all hope. No money coming in and I'm worried about how my bills are getting paid, but this video found me and gave me the encouragement I needed, so thank you. Hope you guys have a happy New Year!

    I dont know if anyone can relate exactly to my situation but basically there’s no area in my life im seeing breakthrough not with job, education, marriage, ministry, finances…everything is stagnant or non-existent. The only thing i can boast in is how He’s moved my spirit. How He has taken time to prune and mold me into the woman He wants me to be. I wanna give up if im being honest but the Lord is my strength so i somehow make it through another day!!

    This is the 3rd time that God has brought this particular bible story to my attention this week. I have felt forgotten when it comes to marriage. I have literally been seeing it happen for everyone else around me. Im so tired of the waiting and feeling left out. I have been desiring marriage for a long time and that desire has grown stronger. I have asked God to take the desire away if its not for me but He hasn't. I have had many moments where I've cried out to God. Im truly tired but i try to keep moving forward. I just dont want to have the desire anymore.

    • @thelenaej
      @thelenaej  6 месяцев назад +2

      Hey sis, thanks so much for sharing. Your feelings are VALID. 🫶🏾 Sometimes when we want something so bad we end up saying we don't want it anymore when it feels like we have to struggle just for it to happen for us. I have had similar thoughts when it comes to marriage, so you're not alone. The desire is a good one and I know in due time it'll happen. I know it sounds redundant, but continue to trust God with that desire. 💕

    I definitely can relate to this. Like you mentioned in the video, I have prayed for the same things for years. I also had to realize that I was very inconsistent with my relationship with God. Very much lukewarm. How do I expect him to give me something and I can’t even give him 10 minutes out my day every day? I’m thankful he said no then, like you said, there’s no telling what my relationship would be like with God if he’d given me what I wanted. God has not forgotten about you, me or anyone. His timing is perfect. 🙏🏾 Thank you for sharing!
