This is definitely the hardest season of my life. There's nobody I can really talk to except for God. The only thing I've learned so far is next to trusting Him, also trusting His love for me, if that makes sense....
I am waiting, I am living in my car with my dog, I am tired but grateful, distressed but not abandoned, isolated but not alone, dealing with constant unknowns and lack of stability, my only stability is in Christ alone. I am trusting God to provide a job and housing for me and my dog. I have been working and waiting for the past 4 months in southwest Florida.
I am doing OK, God is my strength and will pull me through. Being in the vehicle has been teaching me total dependence on him alone. The summer will be over soon and I am learning to get in my Bible everyday, and praise.him and thank him in all circumstances not just the comfortable easy parts of life.
Candice, no word of a lie......I am living in my car as well. Except I live in Ontario, and the temperature is dropping fast. Still, you don't have it easy. I just asked God to not let you feel alone. And I tell you....waiting is painful. Big time. Hope your situation changes soon, okay? Big hug from me, Aaron, up in Canada, near Toronto. 🙏 🇺🇲🇨🇦
THE WAIT HURTS SOO BAD! BUT I KNOW ITS GOD! HE'S GETTN READY TO SHOW UP AND OUT! I BELIEVE. I HAVE FAITH. ITS NOT GONNA LAST FOREVER. IN THE NAME OF JESUS !🙏
This is a good video. Waiting is really painful, I have been waiting for my future husband like forever. Am feeling the pain and I was really hoping that the pain goes away but then I'm beginning to appreciate the process of feeling the pain. Thank you for this video
Awe sweet sister. Everyone has a different story and different seasons if we compare ourselves we miss out on what God is doing in the present. I'm still learning to be open to God working on my heart while He brings everything else to light.
Yeah. It better to really focusing on getting to know the Lord during this season, and getting to know yourself in Jesus name. Be blessed, strong, bold, and courageous in the Lord. Put all of your time, energy, and effort into loving Jesus and self. And to focus on doing what God called, chose, and created you to do in Jesus name. And if it's God's will, He will send someone your direction at the appointed time in Jesus name. Ruth was working in the field when Boaz noticed her. She wasn't worrying about meeting a man per se. She was focused on doing what she was called to do at the time. Be blessed and rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, again I say rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, again I say rejoice.
I need to hear this😊 I am a woman who has been waiting 14 YEAR'S for fruit of the womb and I stand on my Faith that God will not forget me so I come so Humble and I ask for prayers because when too or more comes in agreement HE HEARS US 🙏 I can't wait to come back and tell my Testimony 🙏
I went through 25 years of steep involvement in the new age/occult, experiencing lots of fear and sadness for most of my life...I could never feel free no matter what I did of transformation and healing. I came to Christ 5 years ago and within the last 4 years I have been through the hardest season of my life... worse than anything I had ever experienced while in the occult. I believe however that on this side of the cross, God is taking me through true healing and renewal...a true process of restoration and refinement. I remember he told me early on in my faith that he was going to purify me. Wow, I didn’t realize what that would mean... refinement by fire! Yes there has been intense spiritual warfare since coming out of the enemy’s camp as the enemy doesn’t give up so easily, but whatever process of purification that I am in is the real deal. God is allowing this pained process of going through the muck that I may know who my God is...that I may come to trust him, depend on him, surrender to him and lean only on him... that he may get the glory for being the one true God. The gift of this hard season is that I have seen that Gods good, holy, loving, and faithful character can be trusted. And for that He gets my praise through process and through promise...through wilderness and through wonderment. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It's so hard for me to completely submit to God's plan for my pain and my sickness, especially since I can't leave the house or do very much anymore Thank you for this encouragement Lysa❤
Yes, not just good friends, but brothers and sisters in the body of Jesus Christ... 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 King James Version 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Thank you...for someone who came from an environment where emotions were viewed as weak, negative, this is a blessing for sure. Finding Christian counselors or any counselor is a challenge for sure. I have Tricare insurance and most counselors do not accept it or are on a share/sliding scale system that is just too expensive. I’ve looked in Christian counselor sites nationally and locally and have found 1 that accepts Tricare. He has a waiting list...in the meantime I am reaching out to other groups, watching your videos with Jim and Joel, which have been immensely helpful!! God bless you Lysa!
I'm a man, but follow you the same. Usually I Follow you pictures on Instagram, and these is your first video WHom I Watched. It's been very edifying for my soul. God Bless you so much Sorry for my English. I'm Italian, and I'm studying english alone by myself.
I’ve just been watching Christian themed wedding proposals im waiting for my husband I’m grieving so much because of it I also lost my job too it’s a waiting season for me right now it’s the Summer holidays currently in the UK. I’m going to this Christian Festival at the weekend called Sixty One I’m so excited for what God is gonna do… this just came up on my RUclips recommendations after tying in Christian themed proposals 😂 thank you Lord for reminding me
Amen. Thanks for sharing. This is a blessed word from the Lord. I needed to hear this. I pray that you all keep being led by the spirit of God in Jesus name. Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen.
How do you find a Christian counselor? At a church? I've often wanted to go but only find clinical counselors, that are so not what I want. I want someone who knows the scripture as well as how to deal with issues. Thanks. ♡
@@BB.halo_heir There's a segment from Pastor Charles Stanley talking about Godly advice and counseling. He said it's best to go to someone who shares the same beliefs as you,I agree. Also know that there's some things only God can heal you from(I know this for a fact).God can make you whole I am living proof of this.Im still going through stuff but God says He will delivery us from all our troubles.Lastly and most of all stay away from non Christian counselling. I can tell you from personal experience. God helped me and allowed a therapist who was a non Christian therapist to help me for that season of my life. The only reason why it worked because God ordained that. I wouldn't advice you to go to a non Christian therapist on your own to be honest. Even that therapist told me when my sessions with her ended and I had to find another more permanent therapist she said, *Don't be afraid to leave a therapist if they aren't a right fit* That therapist was able to help me. However any more time that I spent there would of been a true detriment to my faith. Think of it like this they are helping you put things into perspective. If they are coming from a perspective that isn't of God it can be troubling. It only worked because she respected my beliefs and only brought up once something truly contrary to my belief set.She was telling me to do guided meditation and also to be honest *trigger warning skip if needed* she was asking if I wanted to experiment and have sex before marriage with someone I felt comfortable with.She understood this isn't things I want to do and I put a boundary. She never brought it up again. (Advice to pick a good therapist.) Choose between,counselors, therapist or a psychologist. Personally I never been to a counselor but therapists can be very helpful more afforable than psychologists.Psychologists diagnose and also prescribe medications if it is needed. There are different types of therapy and I strongly advice you to ask God to show you where to begin searching what type is best for you.Also just plain old call and ask the individual who is counselling you "how will it be like and what do I expect if I had a session" I advice you to call to hear their voice and hear how they treat you and speak to you. Rather than an email if possible. Types of therapy:There's Cognitive behavioral therapy. That's the one one that fit me best.We delt with the situation with compassion and tried to find solutions. Some have different approaches. Even art therapy aswell ect. Godly(mirrors similar beliefs as you) Polite Doesn't condemn you or make you feel like you have to change your whole life. Kind Compassionate Doesn't talk more than you Doesn't make you feel uncomfortable. Therapy is not easy and somedays are hard but it should feel like a safe place not a warzone.Some days you will fell amazing and it's ok if its not like that. If you feel uncomfortable with this person P L E A S E leave its not a big deal to them and if anything you can just call them to say so or text that "it wasn't the right fit". They arent friends they are professionals at the end of the day so no hard filling and if anyone is making you feel guilty for any reason, RUN! I had a horrible therapist one time . I gave her a chance and she bulldozed through all my boundaries.No respect at all. Truly rude and condescending. Last but not least Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to people who can help you.Ask God to give u discernment. I pray God helps you and heals you completely form of any bondage in Jesus name For God has not given you a spirit of fear but of power! love! and sound mind. Claim it,its yours God bless you.
@@leylina9770 thank you so much for taking the time to share all that with me. I really appreciate it. Praying all the best for you. I will definitely take your advice. 👑❤🙂🙏
I’m waiting for a new job offer, my contract with my company is ending in a few days and I want Gods will to be done as I start a new work journey, no job offer yet but God will come through in his timing.
Wow some real gems in this clip “If we don’t allow ourselves to feel, we don’t allow ourselves to deal, therefore we prevent ourselves to heal.” (paraphrased) “We hold some particular method of numbing as a secret- to help ourselves get through a season, and we think we’re just going to [magically] drop that method once we get to the other side.” (paraphrased) Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 NLT
REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND TURN FROM SIN AND TURN TOWARDS RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON AND WE MUST BE READY FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK
thats what im NOT to do..my question is what am i supposed to do? im waiting on a job, and what do i do in the meantime? other than chores which swiftly gets done
Peace be on to you, brother or sister in Jesus Christ. Read these scriptures, I hope that they help you... Matthew 7:7-11 King James Version 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 1 John 5:14-15 King James Version 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. James 2:14-26 King James Version 14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
@@Lita_213 Thanks be to God. May God bless you with wisdom and knowledge and understanding in Jesus Christ's name. Matthew 4:4 English Standard Version 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” John 6:40 English Standard Version 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
I don 't mind waiting on the Lord..."it is good for those who wait upon the Lord" HE knows this about me. But, I am a Frustrated Giver right now and believe I have been put in a position if imposing on the generous hospitality of a young family. They assure me but while I can do anything...I am unable to help them and reciprocate the way I want to. So, it's frustrating to me. Then add to that ad nausea redundant prophecies that are algorithmed to have me get up, expect, watch Ferociously!!! And threaten me (veiled) if I question/criticize the process. What do you think the Lord HIMSELF thinks about this? Because I know what HE's thinking....
Spend quite time with God, he will definitely reveal it. It literally just happened to me...I do mean literally. He want to heal us and to make us whole. ❤
Ill never understand why GOD blesses others with LOVE that some dont follow HIM but yet let HIS followers suffer long & alone??... That will never make sense to me even if there is understanding. 😒
Exactly! All it's doing is pulling me away from him Ijs! I'm just watching everybody else live while I'm sacrificing for what I want for my liife and for my goals too
If you're in a season of waiting, maybe you're still waiting because you're waiting for the wrong thing. It could be you're still waiting because what you want isn't what God wants for you. God has to get you ready for whatever He has for you. It could be what God has for you, He knows you won't like it and He just has to break you down to make you do it. Trusting God doesn't mean you get what you want. You might look at your life and think it sucks, and you might be right. God looks at and thinks it's great. Sometimes you mess up your life and you're just screwed. God doesn't always heal, restore or rescue. What God has for you might not be the dream you think it is. The pleasantness only applies when your best life is in front of you. Take it from me, your tears mean nothing to God.
@annem2922 maybe so, but everything else I wrote is true. The bleeding woman was healed because it was God's will. Crying out to God only works for some. God is good to some, but not all. I look at the last 40 years of my life and I tell God that I don't feel like He's done a damn thing for me. When He decided to give me epilepsy and fucked me out of my Military career, but I noticed God had mercy on my wife beating child abusing stepdad. Tell me how that's just. God just hates me. He always has.
@annem2922 so basically God's answer to my suffering is just keep on kissing my ass while I keep on kicking yours? If God never changes your circumstances or ever gives you any second chances, why bother crying out?
There's suppose to be power holding and reproducing something that will get you what you are waiting for. The power will immediately heal uncomfortable, while you wait
After finishing school in 2016 my life just went down career wise. I dont have financial back up. Two years i was at home, 2019 i started a diploma and completed it in 2020 and since then the story has been the same, just at home. 6 years im just at home, i know people told me to do a job etc but im frustrated so much, no one understands this, when u wait u get frustrated to the point that u think doing something without gods prompting will screw everything up. I dont know if im wrong but man im struggling so much. Ive yelled at him and im at the point of breaking 😓😓😓
Peace be unto you, brother. Matthew 11:28-30 English Standard Version 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Philippians 4:4-9 English Standard Version 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness[a] be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned[b] and received and heard and seen in me-practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. Matthew 7:7-11 English Standard Version Ask, and It Will Be Given 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
I am not waiting! Marriage is not possible for me. I look forward to remaining single and getting to know myself and especially the Lord Jesus! I have no ability for sexual relations! Matthew 19:12-14.
When your waiting its called season of procrastination and waiting for someone else to do it . God only helps thoes who HELP THEMSELVES . And God has a plan for your life so nothing you can do OR how many ways you can ask will CHANGE GODS WILL . ITS GONNA BE
Heavenly father, I pray over this soul who is in pain and is living in the flesh. I pray that his/her pain will be taken to you God, instead of lashing out. In Jesus name
I've been praying for help for over 35 YEARS . Either God doesn't listen or he dont care or he's not real . I don't know but it never helped . Thanks for your intentions but he dont like me .
@@Johndoe-nx1uz there may be something in your life that is hindering this. What have you been waiting for? People don't realize that sin and unforgiveness cause things not to be answered. God wants obedience. I'm not saying that's your case but I know there's people out there that has hindered them.

"Pain in the waiting IS the healing!"
👍👍👍💪💝

Thanks for this!
Pain is just temporal, it's just a season. Jesus is close to the broken and contrite spirit. Waiting on Him is the best antidote to mend our pain through His Word- Bible! Pain is a blessing in disguise to come into His very presence than running to the temporal resources that can trigger the pain. God cares for us holistically, that's why He is in a careful process of our destiny. ♥️

Right! I cried tonight b/c I'm alone
Yes, not just good friends, but brothers and sisters in the body of Jesus Christ...
1 Corinthians 12:12-27
King James Version
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Thank you...for someone who came from an environment where emotions were viewed as weak, negative, this is a blessing for sure.
Finding Christian counselors or any counselor is a challenge for sure. I have Tricare insurance and most counselors do not accept it or are on a share/sliding scale system that is just too expensive.
I’ve looked in Christian counselor sites nationally and locally and have found 1 that accepts Tricare. He has a waiting list...in the meantime I am reaching out to other groups, watching your videos with Jim and Joel, which have been immensely helpful!!
God bless you Lysa!
So glad you shined the light on getting counseling. I love it so much! Thank you for this video. It’s timeless for sure!
Very hard process but God has held me close along the way. Ive done therapy as well i love coaching too
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Ladies for this message. Perfect timing
I'm a man, but follow you the same. Usually I Follow you pictures on Instagram, and these is your first video WHom I Watched. It's been very edifying for my soul. God Bless you so much
Sorry for my English. I'm Italian, and I'm studying english alone by myself.
You don’t have to do anything alone, we are not meant to walk alone, reach out to close people you know and trust to help you ❤️
Amen I need to feel the pain

Wow!! I just found this video..and its such an on time word for me...WOW! Thank You For Sharing This Word..😭😭😭 #Wow
Please Lord remove my pain during seasons of waiting.
How do you find a Christian counselor? At a church? I've often wanted to go but only find clinical counselors, that are so not what I want. I want someone who knows the scripture as well as how to deal with issues. Thanks. ♡
I noticed, no one answered.
@@meman6964 yeah, thanks. I figured I wouldn't get a reply.
Try googling Christian counseling in your area
@@BB.halo_heir There's a segment from Pastor Charles Stanley talking about Godly advice and counseling. He said it's best to go to someone who shares the same beliefs as you,I agree. Also know that there's some things only God can heal you from(I know this for a fact).God can make you whole I am living proof of this.Im still going through stuff but God says He will delivery us from all our troubles.Lastly and most of all stay away from non Christian counselling.
I can tell you from personal experience. God helped me and allowed a therapist who was a non Christian therapist to help me for that season of my life.
The only reason why it worked because God ordained that. I wouldn't advice you to go to a non Christian therapist on your own to be honest. Even that therapist told me when my sessions with her ended and I had to find another more permanent therapist she said, *Don't be afraid to leave a therapist if they aren't a right fit*
That therapist was able to help me. However any more time that I spent there would of been a true detriment to my faith. Think of it like this they are helping you put things into perspective. If they are coming from a perspective that isn't of God it can be troubling.
It only worked because she respected my beliefs and only brought up once something truly contrary to my belief set.She was telling me to do guided meditation and also to be honest *trigger warning skip if needed*
she was asking if I wanted to experiment and have sex before marriage with someone I felt comfortable with.She understood this isn't things I want to do and I put a boundary. She never brought it up again.
(Advice to pick a good therapist.)
Choose between,counselors, therapist or a psychologist.
Personally I never been to a counselor but therapists can be very helpful more afforable than psychologists.Psychologists diagnose and also prescribe medications if it is needed.
There are different types of therapy and I strongly advice you to ask God to show you where to begin searching what type is best for you.Also just plain old call and ask the individual who is counselling you "how will it be like and what do I expect if I had a session"
I advice you to call to hear their voice and hear how they treat you and speak to you. Rather than an email if possible.
Types of therapy:There's Cognitive behavioral therapy. That's the one one that fit me best.We delt with the situation with compassion and tried to find solutions. Some have different approaches. Even art therapy aswell ect.
Godly(mirrors similar beliefs as you)
Polite
Doesn't condemn you or make you feel like you have to change your whole life.
Kind
Compassionate
Doesn't talk more than you
Doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.
Therapy is not easy and somedays are hard but it should feel like a safe place not a warzone.Some days you will fell amazing and it's ok if its not like that.
If you feel uncomfortable with this person P L E A S E leave its not a big deal to them and if anything you can just call them to say so or text that "it wasn't the right fit". They arent friends they are professionals at the end of the day so no hard filling and if anyone is making you feel guilty for any reason, RUN!
I had a horrible therapist one time . I gave her a chance and she bulldozed through all my boundaries.No respect at all. Truly rude and condescending.
Last but not least Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to people who can help you.Ask God to give u discernment.
I pray God helps you and heals you completely form of any bondage in Jesus name For God has not given you a spirit of fear but of power! love! and sound mind. Claim it,its yours God bless you.
@@leylina9770 thank you so much for taking the time to share all that with me. I really appreciate it. Praying all the best for you. I will definitely take your advice. 👑❤🙂🙏
I’m waiting for a new job offer, my contract with my company is ending in a few days and I want Gods will to be done as I start a new work journey, no job offer yet but God will come through in his timing.
Praying for you, friend!
I've been in a waiting season for 9 years, and to be honest I'm down to nothing on the waiting.
What were/are you waiting for 👀
Exactly 💯💯💯💪🏿
Praisee God
Stay safe and strong children of God ❤
In God I trust and Love Amen 🙏💞🕊️🔥🦅🛡️
The message was so beautifully said and relatable. Thank you
Lord will I be saved and have victory please have mercy 😭🙏
I've waited for 40 years on things I KNOW God has promised. It's hard to see other people only wait a year or two then tell me I should be patient.
Wow some real gems in this clip
“If we don’t allow ourselves to feel, we don’t allow ourselves to deal, therefore we prevent ourselves to heal.” (paraphrased)
“We hold some particular method of numbing as a secret- to help ourselves get through a season, and we think we’re just going to [magically] drop that method once we get to the other side.” (paraphrased)
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Philippians 4:6 NLT
REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND TURN FROM SIN AND TURN TOWARDS RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON AND WE MUST BE READY FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK
Short and powerful 💥 thank you Lisa!
What if it is no longer a period of waiting and it is actually the earthy destination?
25 female approaching 26 and never been in a serious relationship.... waiting on God throu prayer and fasting for my Man of God ... oh God wea is he?
thats what im NOT to do..my question is what am i supposed to do? im waiting on a job, and what do i do in the meantime? other than chores which swiftly gets done
Peace be on to you, brother or sister in Jesus Christ. Read these scriptures, I hope that they help you...
Matthew 7:7-11
King James Version
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
1 John 5:14-15
King James Version
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
James 2:14-26
King James Version
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
@@Pedro-of4tn They were a help to me. Thank you!

Matthew 4:4

4 But he answered, “It is written,
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,

This is sooo good!
So pleased ❤🙏 Thank you so much❤🙏
I don 't mind waiting on the Lord..."it is good for those who wait upon the Lord" HE knows this about me. But, I am a Frustrated Giver right now and believe I have been put in a position if imposing on the generous hospitality of a young family. They assure me but while I can do anything...I am unable to help them and reciprocate the way I want to. So, it's frustrating to me. Then add to that ad nausea redundant prophecies that are algorithmed to have me get up, expect, watch Ferociously!!! And threaten me (veiled) if I question/criticize the process. What do you think the Lord HIMSELF thinks about this? Because I know what HE's thinking....
I'm waiting for my Godly Husband but im not having pain.
what if i dont know what im waiting for???
Spend quite time with God, he will definitely reveal it. It literally just happened to me...I do mean literally. He want to heal us and to make us whole. ❤
Thank you!
Amen love this ❤️
this is so good
I am waiting on a boyfriend (hopefully husband) and a job.
Awesome advice!
If we can't feel the pain, we can't deal with the pain. Whoa
Looking for a christian counselor in the New Orleans area or within 50-60 miles. Any suggestions?
Hi! We suggest starting with the American Association of Christian Counselors at aacc.net.
Amen 🙏 such an important message!🙏💥🙏
My waiting season has been a decade. Jesus help me!
What happens when a season of waiting turns into over a decade and you're still waiting?
at some point we have to give up waiting and taking matters into our own hands, i guess. Hurts like hell typing this out, but long more can we wait?
help get back to this vid by liking it. I just want to be reminded of this anytime
So good
I definitely numb myself with Facebook it was my place to laugh
Ill never understand why GOD blesses others with LOVE that some dont follow HIM but yet let HIS followers suffer long & alone??... That will never make sense to me even if there is understanding. 😒
I said this to him too and that the wicked seem to live better
I also don't get it. Like there are people who actually don't get answers? Why? 😢😣
@@Godlywoman88 FACTS.

Exactly! All it's doing is pulling me away from him Ijs! I'm just watching everybody else live while I'm sacrificing for what I want for my liife and for my goals too
I'm waiting for almost 5 years for marriage 😢
Don't get trapped into numbing the pain. WOW
If you're in a season of waiting, maybe you're still waiting because you're waiting for the wrong thing. It could be you're still waiting because what you want isn't what God wants for you. God has to get you ready for whatever He has for you. It could be what God has for you, He knows you won't like it and He just has to break you down to make you do it. Trusting God doesn't mean you get what you want. You might look at your life and think it sucks, and you might be right. God looks at and thinks it's great. Sometimes you mess up your life and you're just screwed. God doesn't always heal, restore or rescue. What God has for you might not be the dream you think it is. The pleasantness only applies when your best life is in front of you. Take it from me, your tears mean nothing to God.
@annem2922 maybe so, but everything else I wrote is true. The bleeding woman was healed because it was God's will. Crying out to God only works for some. God is good to some, but not all. I look at the last 40 years of my life and I tell God that I don't feel like He's done a damn thing for me. When He decided to give me epilepsy and fucked me out of my Military career, but I noticed God had mercy on my wife beating child abusing stepdad. Tell me how that's just. God just hates me. He always has.
@annem2922 so basically God's answer to my suffering is just keep on kissing my ass while I keep on kicking yours? If God never changes your circumstances or ever gives you any second chances, why bother crying out?
I'm sorry@annem2922
There's suppose to be power holding and reproducing something that will get you what you are waiting for. The power will immediately heal uncomfortable, while you wait
I hate my love life. I asked God to remove the desire from my heart
Christian counselors?? Please
❤️
Thanks for watching!
Amen 🙏🏽
After finishing school in 2016 my life just went down career wise. I dont have financial back up. Two years i was at home, 2019 i started a diploma and completed it in 2020 and since then the story has been the same, just at home. 6 years im just at home, i know people told me to do a job etc but im frustrated so much, no one understands this, when u wait u get frustrated to the point that u think doing something without gods prompting will screw everything up. I dont know if im wrong but man im struggling so much. Ive yelled at him and im at the point of breaking 😓😓😓
Peace be unto you, brother.
Matthew 11:28-30
English Standard Version
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Philippians 4:4-9
English Standard Version
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness[a] be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned[b] and received and heard and seen in me-practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Matthew 7:7-11
English Standard Version
Ask, and It Will Be Given
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Yes!!!!!!!

this is very true, i am waiting for a christian boyfriend and lord timing sinks
I am not waiting! Marriage is not possible for me. I look forward to remaining single and getting to know myself and especially the Lord Jesus! I have no ability for sexual relations! Matthew 19:12-14.

When your waiting its called season of procrastination and waiting for someone else to do it . God only helps thoes who HELP THEMSELVES . And God has a plan for your life so nothing you can do OR how many ways you can ask will CHANGE GODS WILL . ITS GONNA BE
So where is that quote in the Bible
then I should just stop asking Him. He gives love and happiness to people who dont even believe in Him so why even bother praying?
Suck it up LIFE IS HARD , YOUR NOT GONNA GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT . YOUR stuck with who you are deal with it
Heavenly father, I pray over this soul who is in pain and is living in the flesh. I pray that his/her pain will be taken to you God, instead of lashing out. In Jesus name
I've been praying for help for over 35 YEARS . Either God doesn't listen or he dont care or he's not real . I don't know but it never helped . Thanks for your intentions but he dont like me .
@@Johndoe-nx1uz there may be something in your life that is hindering this. What have you been waiting for? People don't realize that sin and unforgiveness cause things not to be answered. God wants obedience. I'm not saying that's your case but I know there's people out there that has hindered them.
Amen!!
