    I just lost my mom one month ago due to cancer. She died 4 days after I turned 16. Throughout her battle with cancer I’d cry out “why” lots of times. She was the kindest and selfless person. She was loved by everyone. She served God her whole life and loved him with all her heart. She suffer too much in life and then got cancer. She was the last person expected to get cancer because she was so healthy. I still cry out why many times. When she passed away I was angry at God and refused to talk to him for a whole month. When my mom was getting worse I drifted away from God and drifted even more after she passed. I wanted answers and so I looked up on RUclips. And saw this video and decided to listen. I started to tear up while listening. I would like you to pray for me. I’m trying my best to get back to God.

God found me and healed me and now I’m happily married to my husband that loves me and cherishes me! Something I never had before. God knew my pain and suffering had a beautiful ending. Thank you God for never leaving me in my time of suffering and giving my love and happiness that I never would have imaged. Amen

    I survived my suicide attempt but was paralyzed when I was 18. I became a Christian after. Though the physical and mental suffering were intense, now that I look back, God used that experience to let me see him and feel his existence. And being a Christian is the best blessing in my life, I am glad that my experience led me to God and all my suffering is worth it.

    Dear Pastor Craig,
    I lost my little brother last month. It was 2 days to his 14th birthday. He had been battling a terrible blood disease since April and I really prayed he would be well.
    I had been very angry with everything. I hadn't prayed or studied and I didn't feel like attending church anymore. I had so many questions.
    Today, for the first time in months, I just visited your channel (actually, it was by accident even as I am a subscriber) and I saw your sermon.
    I was almost moved to tears listening to you preach, and I think I'm ready to allow God to heal me. I really don't see how this can work out for good in any way, but I choose to trust that God loves me no matter what. I rededicated my life to Jesus once again today, and please Pastor Craig, pray for me. I need to stay in faith. Thank you for your teaching. God bless you sir.

I mean, pastor of ???MANY Churches, plus husband , and father to 6 kids. SIX!!!!!! Sounds like he just took on more and more and more. Most of us can't stay up with our own personal correspondence!!!. But still, I imagine that he tries.... At least wants to take the temp of his people. Maybe you could write him a personal letter, tho, if you want a chance to connect. Though even then, I suspect his staff would send you a perfunctory response, but you never know. It sounds like you are hungry for interpersonal connection, which we all need. I hope you can find it in a small local church. God loves ýou and so does the pastor, even if he is stretched too thin to respond. One other thing though. I do not believe that the church that we see today is the way Jesus wanted!!! In the beginning, people met in their houses! They had dinner together! Communion was not a little broken cracker and a thumbnail of juice. They were sitting down to a full meal, and interacting, and bearing one another's burdens. Anyway, blessings!

    @andrew_villarreal Год назад +16

    I’ve had a few “do you even exist” “are you even listening “ moments. Wondering why God isn’t just removing the pain and feeling of sadness. He spoke to me through different people and the advice received I kept on turning from it and making decisions based on my own understanding that ended up hurting myself and hurting others. I kept asking Jesus why. I’ve asked so many times to help me trust him in forgiving myself and trusting I can let myself move on from my dark past. Every day I still feel like I need to dwell in my past and bring it up to the ones i’ve hurt. I’m starting to realize that Jesus challenges me and wants me to work on my faith without me expecting for him to snap his fingers and make me instantly believe in him. I see my past hidden mistakes in a negative perspective such as “I got away with it” or “I need to tell everything to everyone i’ve ever done wrong”. Whereas Jesus has been saying that he doesn’t even remember my sins & I am allowed to be set free and not dwell in the past regardless if my mistakes are known or not to others as long as I have confessed them to him. He also doesn’t expect me to remember every single sin/nor he doesn’t want me to try to and dig deep in my past and try to figure out what else i’ve done wrong. Jesus loves me. Whenever I get a voice in my head or a tight chest with these negative thoughts, God’s word, every scripture, says the complete opposite of what I’m thinking. And it makes me confused and makes me overwhelmed. Trusting in God and allowing myself to be set free and having that faith that he wants me to let go of my past, is extremely difficult. But Jesus loves me and I will continue to fight to make sure I don’t listen to the enemy to trick me into hurting others.
    I’m surrendering my life to Jesus!

The reason I am telling you this is because I asked God the same question “ WHY” but although it took a long time searching God I realized that I still don’t know why, but what I do know is GOD DOESNT ALLOW THINGS TO HAPPEN WITHOUT A GREATER PURPOSE”.

    I really needed to listen and find this video I recently just lost my husband who was only 25 years old and I am 23 we've been together for six years and he was killed in a car accident before Christmas while at work. Losing him has really tested my face and has pulled me I've always been Christian and grew up Christian. I asked God why I lost my husband and I've been watching this crying I really want to get back closer to God and I know that my husband is in beautiful heaven and that one day I'll be with him again. I am staying strong for our beautiful doggies and our house and living each day knowing that I will be with him one day again but it's so hard I continue to read the Bible and pray and talk to my husband I just really needed to come across this video and see this I needed this just thank you for this beautiful words.😭❤️

      If u confess with your mouth Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe with your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and that He lives today, you will be saved. Then go find a full gospel church and get water baptized (full immersion, become one with Jesus' death and resurrection). Then get the baptism of the Holy Spirit (as per Acts 8:5-14, Acts 19:5, Acts 10:44). These aren't optional, avoid churches that say these are optional or minimize their significance. If you do these, you will have all that u asked for above - you will be one spirit with the Lord, having the mind of Christ and being the body of Christ - completely like Him in spirit, mind and body as per 1John 4:17 "as He is, so are we in this world (not just in the next life but right now)". Peace of the Lord Jesus be to you brother.

Once I yelled and screamed questioning my life, I knew right after the words I uttered what I did was wrong. I literally felt it in my heart and Immediately went to god and apologized, . If you’re reading this the enemy wants you to despise god, he will tempt you in your heart mind and spirit, he’s blinded you. Do not ever lose faith during bad times, let God take control and control what you can control.

    I ran into an old friend who led me into a bad situation, placed temptation directly in front of me and I sinned and almost destroyed my marriage. I have so much hatred toward this old friend, I know I am part to blame and I have repented and still struggle to forgive myself. But I have so much hatred for this old “friend” and the position he put me in. I think sometimes about physically inflicting harm on him based on all the pain I’ve experienced. I know the devil was watching for when I would let my guard down, and he brought temptation to me through someone I trusted, and yes I fell. And I question God a lot as to why He let me fall into that trap as I wasn’t looking for trouble. Please pray for me. I have a lot of internal turmoil, and I am not at peace.

      Chris Davis Precious in the sight of the LORD is the dead of His children. Your sister is not dead, she is alive in heaven. Jesus said those who believe in Him will live forever with him in heaven, they will rise again even if they die. Death for Christains is merely a shadow, and those your sister died in accident, according to God's word she didn't feel pain because death has no sting in believers. Unbelievers who don't know Jesus feel the sting of death but believers don't because Jesus defeated death when He died and rose again. And He did it not for himself but for those who will put their trust in Him.

So I know there is a why. But as a mom who has lost her child, I still struggle and so I just need prayer to continue to do what God has called me. I need prayer for restoration of my relationship with God because I feel distant. My fleshly hurt has put distance between us.

      Dear Heavenly Father, We lift up to You, @jasodasamuel440. Abba, grief, stress, depression, and illness take their toll on us emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. All those things also impact our sleep, which worsens everything. So many are trying to get out of the pit they are in, but nothing is helping, and they don’t know what else to do. They are just so tired… Father, please help jasodasamuel, and everyone feeling like like they take one step forward and two step back. Please touch jasodasamuel and anyone who feels like they are just treading water and can’t seem to reach the shore. Please, hear jasodasamuel's cries for your divine intervention. King David said he waited patiently on you, and you listened to them cry. You lifted him up out of a pit and miry clay. You set them feet on solid rock and steadied him on the path you set before him. You gave him a new song to sing…a song of praise to you. Abba, would you do what you did for David for jasodasamuel? Would you deliver, rescue, restore and renew jasodasamuel who is going through the motions of living but just existing? You tell us we have not because we ask not, so we are asking now, Lord. We reach out for the hem of your garment so we might experience the healing only you can give. Please help kazibwe who is weary, ill, depressed, to rise from the pit of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion and help him sing a new song…a song of praise…a song of deliverance…a song that declares your goodness, faithfulness, grace, kindness, and mercy. Amen.

    Thank you for this powerful and much needed message especially in our troubled times!
    I went through 35 years of abuse (not physical) and hell in a bad marriage but it drew me closer to the Lord than I could ever had without it and I believe God used it to save my husband in the last few minutes of his life because of the way He intervened in that time. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good, and He does good!!!

    I had to search for this because my heart is heavy. All these shootings and school shootings are impacting me, I know it is all of us. I love my God, I enjoy spending time in his word but right now, I'm hurt and angry. I know life can't be perfect, and we are given free will, but I can't handle all this tragedy. It's making me extremely depressed. I'm starting to think the less I know, the better off I am because I feel helpless. I pray for change. For the day, our children can be safe at school, and we can stop living in constant fear.

      May the Power of The Holy Spirit surround and protect you, as you seek Jesus and Father God!
      “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

    I've been battling a chronic illness for 6 years. So many tests, very few answers. It's left me absent from so much of life. My energy tank depletes at work, so by the time I get home, I have nothing left for my kids or my husband. None of it is okay with me, and it's not fair to my family. I feel worthless, and empty. I can't help but wonder where God is, and why He isn't healing me. Why am I alive, if I'm not living a quality life? What's my purpose here? WHERE IS GOD?!

    I found out this morning at church my dear friend and sister in christ died from cancer i had been praying we all had for her to be healed . It felt like a gut wtetching stomach punch and I know God is Good all the time in fact we had just sung this song right before I heard the news 💔 I took myself out and locked myself in the toilet cubicle and prayed .I am devastated I loved her so much and it hit me in that moment how much God loves her even more and perfectly . I gave my feelings to God as I knew the Holy spirit led me to not deny all the rollercoaster emotions I felt at one moment. Jesus is allowing me to grieve her loss while still knowing the truth she is in a better place with the creator himself. But I just want her here so much . 😢Thank you Jesus for helping me in this moment and the days ahead .

    @marytetreault8168 Год назад +2

    Having experienced a Hellish personal tragedy followed by a Book of Job amount of troubles, I think it's important to not only give suffering people hope for the after life, but hope also for this life. Otherwise, how can you expect people to have hope and strength enough to push through what could be many years before "Pie in the Sky?" When the bottom has fallen out for someone and they have lost everything, said person desperately needs to know that things will improve in this life, not only in the after life. And I think the most important gifts others can give a suffering person is 1) to care/listen, and 2) faith to believe the promises of God with them for needed miracle(s) in their lives. Unfortunately, I have not found most believers prepared to give these helps. I myself am trying to pay attention and learn in order to help others. But I could have really used this type of support, especially at my lowest point. I am now 3 years into this trial without having seen my situation redeemed yet, but I believe it's coming.
    At the time tragedy struck, one dear cousin asked me, "How specifically can I pray? What would make things better for you?" I was so blessed by that question, and felt so supported. And I had an answer right away, without hesitation. But she was the only person to ask that. Actually, there were a number of friends that made me feel worse than I already did by sucking every last drop of hope out of me. To assure a hurting person that good is coming, and not to give up, is very powerful. To give them Scriptures to that effect is a great treasure. Otherwise, let's hope the tragedy struck person can do it for themselves. Even so, in long seasons of trials we all need brethren to help us stay in the fight.

    I cried unto God,2 weeks before and I told God to show me a sign that everything would be okay and nothing happened and I concluded He didn't care He wasn't bothered and it was up to me to solve my own issues. But He did listen. I met a friend who helped me realize that I've kept a lot of pain, a lot of anguish and misery in my heart and I have refused to let go. And one night as I went through my baby pictures I marvelled at how the tiniest of the things made me happy and I remembered how even though young I gave my life to Christ. I decided to sleep early that night and I mysteriously woke up at 3:16 am and after a bath and some small activities I found this video. God did really listen. God had my cry. God is there He is not late He is never late He never forsakes us. Thank you pastor Greg I needed this a lot of us needed this.
