While going through breast cancer, not one visited me and I am a believer. What I got was loads of text and videos and "I love you", but not one word of encouragement by any believer...not any offers of help, and I am not a stranger to many, but my experience was a sad sad cancer journey, but I made it through with my only friend Jesus. I find texting during a friend with cancer is okay, but not a real love of a Christian. I'm single, no children but I know I shared with believers.. No More. Lisa is blessed to have real friends. My diagnosis was last year July 17th and I'm still loving on those who did not know how to love on me from a distant. At 67 I need a real friend in the natural to hug to support, but I kept it moving with a smile and ruby red lipstick!!!🎉❤
I'd like to be here with you, but don't know where you live. I'm in that dark cave right now myself. People call or text but don't come, even for a short visit. ~I need A HUG, folks, not your money or to move in with you!!~
It has been placed in my spirit with Holy Spirit guidance to open my home for women who needs a real safe place to cry, weep, being real with their cancer. There was nothing other than zoom...I pray with you who has gone through the same. May God prick your heart to be a trailblazer. I even shared with the hospital how wonderful it would be of the hospital had a group, just to reach out every 2 months for a year. Just to let us know you are there (Hospital). The Social Worker is most impressed I want to do this for another woman suffering alone!!! We will make a difference!! Let your voices be heard!!! Cannot just be about the money cancer patients could be billed. I encourage each of you to roar like the Lioness we are..Love Barbara
Wow! Of all the cancer patients that I have known, they all have had support and that is the one very prominent thing I've noticed. I guess because I am alone and alienated by my only daughter and estranged husband having left 7 years ago and no surviving family. I suffer so much in other ways but thought how fortunate these people are not to be suffering this tragic journey alone. I am so terribly sorry you were alone...other than Jesus. I wished I could have been there for you. If you ever need to talk or need a friend, please reach out. ❣🙏❣
I have also gone through several sepsis crisis wout christian friends j don't know exactly how you or lysa felt, but I felt the pain w out gods sisters
Thank you for telling us the original air date. It helps me to see how much the Lord has helped you grow stronger. I also find out that my husband was also having an affair. I found out because she called our house. I forgave my husband years ago, but the hardest part is that I have never truly loved anyone else. It is almost 40 years ago. I am still single at 77 years old. I have joy in my life now because of the Lord Jesus Christ and my children, my grands and my greats❣🙏🫂
me too and I never remarried either! there is strength in living one’s own life and in remaining single ❤ nothing wrong with us, thank you for sharing no one ever speaks of these things and we should share 🌺
@@langyd4518 I didn't want to go into a long story, but I married a second time. I thought I had to be married. He was an alcoholic and an abuser. Divorce came quickly. I did not love him.

@@christineperkins4987 I don't think I have ever felt true love from my spouse like I feel when I love someone. I watch these Christian married couples doing things for each other and enjoying life together. My Great Granddaughters love me and think I am so much fun. That is plenty for me on earth. Looking forward to spiritual love when I get to Heaven. I also grow closer to God each day. I highly recommend My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers, devotional.
this comes at the right timing for me… my dad cheated on my mom in 2015. I was 16 at the time, but I couldn’t handle it back then I just suppressed it. But the body keeps the score, and I have been feeling this anger, resentment, and anxiety. Like it’s coming out in different ways. And although it’s painful I think God knew I needed to grieve in order to heal. I was in so much heartache, crying. suddenly this video started playing in my home screen I watched it all. I feel a little more comforted now. He’s not doing this to me, He’s doing this for me. That made me realize it is healthy for me to grieve. thank you for sharing.
It is a deep, complicated grief, so much like death but so different and I'm still processing 8 years later after my husband of 25 years walked away into the arms of another woman. The shock and pain of rejection was indescribable. God has not answered my prayer for reconciliation but He has not abandoned me and I can trust He will never reject me. God has put me in situations and with people that helped to mend my "shattered" heart. And although I still hurt, I know now God can work and use us in all "seasons" of our lives.
I am 4 years out. I am the same. Never loved anyone except my husband. I prayed for our marriage, for my husband's redemption but he filed for divorce as he has been unfaithful. It's so hard.
It is uncanny that your situation and timeline is the same as mine and we have the same name but with different spellings. I pray for peace and strength for you along this painful journey.
I am so glad that she let everyone know that God did not do this to me, because the terrible things that we can go through in life, comes out of a fallen world because of sin! God will see us through if we trust him to!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
As you spoke into the camera I felt that your voice was speaking to me. As I’ve walked through many affairs and just a month ago I dislocated my knee and I haven’t been able to walk w/o a walker for the last month. It’s a place I thought I would never ever be in. ✝️🙏🏻✝️ So as I lay here in bed listening to your words, they have reached out to me in my time of this desperation. Thank you! I’ve been where you are with the unfaithfulness over and over again. I found my identity & inner love through Christ word and not through another persons eyes. Placing all hope and trust in the lord, thank you for this reminder. ✝️☀️🙏🏻🥰 Thank you for your courage and strength God’s blessings over you. ✝️☀️💪✝️🌷🌺🥰
Lysa was able to say exactly what so many of us would have said, but didn’t have the ability to say at the time we went through that too, and not as well as she said it!!!
I really need prayer in this. There are worse things that could have happened to me and I do feel very thankful for his every blessing. Yet, I am fighting to not be bitter, despaired, apathetic, etc. etc. 25 years ago it was not only that event that occurred, as I could have forgiven shortly after. It was what that person's actions did, that changed the trajectory of my life, and that of my children and every dream I had for them in their early years that could and did influence the trajectory of theirs. Every single word she said about the pain and brokenness is so exact of what I have been experiencing, and although it has improved , the aspect of how old I have become (prime years) loss dreams I can never get back etc. blah blah blah. I am broken and cannot even discuss it, it is exhausting and depressing and entails "so much" to explain. Everything she said and yes, the health. "This was my entire future" Jesus, In your name I pray for restoration for us , only you know what I cannot even express, please help. Amen
Our life is only complete in Him, no man can do what only our saviour can. Life is hard, painful and full of trouble, it's the fellowship of His sufferings, which as Jesus followers, we signed up to. But He sees you, knows your pain and will restore you. 💖🙏
Keep your eyes on Jesus, He is the only answer to every problem in this world! He will never forsake you, nor hurt you, He is our healer! I’m praying for you!
@@johayes6684 Thank you. He is all together lovely, I agree. Thank you for the prayers, highly appreciated and agreed upon, according to his one and true Holy word, in Jesus's name. Amen.
@@johayes6684 I to will pray for you and yours, in Christ Jesus's name my sister in Christ, Amen. I pray in thanksgiving, for his established good plans for you and yours, all fulfilled in his perfect timing, for his purposes and Kingdom plans, for his Glory, Honor and Praise he so richly deserves, I ask and give thanks now and in advance: "Thank you Abba, for knowing your daughter and your heart with her, every hair on her head numbered, every need, smile and tear, every prayer spoken, silent, feeling and desire. I know you are faithful and you never break a promise, this is so and I stand on your word. I am confident and by your authority my King Jesus, declare and decree, blessed is your fellowship in addition to your sonship with your daughter our Creator and Christ Jesus. For her and that of her House. In very direction, in and outside of time and space, in Christ Jesus's name Amen" . NOTE: To share sincerely, not to do big long winded prayers for others to see, etc. So you may be blessed, in Jesus's name.
Lysa, I am truly sorry about the traumatic experience you have lived. I understand, because I have been there and have lived that unspeakable pain. "Shattered" in a good word to describe it. But I feel that your message is so much more mature and humble now because of that, and I love it! It's a message that can speak to a lot more women around the globe!
I am 71 and have faced rejection so many times. It started when I was a little kid. Sometimes I think it is a generational curse that needs to be broken from within. But, rejection is not new to mankind, even Jesus was rejected.
I’m 72,, and same,, since a child. So much rejection and hurt and ridicule. I was not a Christian till my late 30s. What a journey. He is MY / our life,, I’ve been alone now 27 years,, after husband divorced me.
@@annettegriffin3947 generational curse or not, our God still brings restoration and purpose when we fully turn our eyes on Him. Thanks to Jesus, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!!!
I'm 72, sitting in the middle of a triggered trauma so like how my husband gaslighted me our whole marriage(29 yrs). I am so sorry that people have treated us so badly but I love this idea of boundaries, something this retired therapist can do. I pray for traumatized people. May we find peace.
She is correct about how we are pressed to believe that God will work on things . We just need to have some super faith . That’s not always the case. We can choose the wrong relationship sometimes and it all free will . If someone does not want to see their dysfunctional issues you can make them and that’s abuse. God allows hurt sometimes and we just have to keep praying.
Wow, she's a rockstar! I humbly admire her bravery, vulnerability and raw honesty. God bless you Lysa. I am so sorry you went through so much pain. I am going through a very dark time now and feeling lost but hearing her testimony is a great reminder that everything will turn out good for those who love God.
Thank you for sharing your story.. I’m going through this right now in my life and I’m broke to the core.. I have been with my husband for 15 years and it’s very painful to experience such a thing in life.. I’m praying for everyone who has to face this pain ..🙏
Going through the same thing 27 years together 23 years marriage three years of an affair. It’s awful what he did not just the infidelity portion, but everything else that he did to me spoke of me took of me. I don’t know how I’ll ever recover. I don’t wish this shattered pain on my worst enemy.
@@nisse6952 it’s very hard I feel dead inside I’m only strong for my girls .. thank you 🙏 I’ll pray for you too I understand how you feel and what you going through.. may god help us not to lose our minds..🙏
@@Flo07109 I can imagine what you going through.. u question your reality and you lost yourself in process.. all I can tell you is that love yourself and all that love you had give that to god … we must be ok one day.. I’ll pray for you 🙏
I love listening to you. Your voice is soothing. Your teaching is so official and truth..Must tell the truth as the cross we carry is bloody. Hallelujah for the price Jesus paid for our sins...
The experienced of betrayal at any level leave deep painful wounds that the person betrayed have to take to God to heal. I thought that cheating was at the maximum level of pain but being left pregnant alone is even more painful. It has been the hardest moment in my life as a Christian woman. God granted me with grace the blessing of having a healthy and beautiful baby but there are days that questions arise as of why? Why this and why this way? But walking into acceptance that we won’t have all answers we wish. God allows us to experience situations for him to used further in mysterious ways in my life. My hope is in him❤️.
Thank you SO MUCH for all the simple details you've shared. I'm feeling so lost with HOW to walk my walk with God. Feeling like YT sermons weren't good enough, or my audio Bible doesn't count for time with He who loves me without conditions. A mirror scares me after 39 years of subtle jabs and judgements pushing me to become the silent people pleaser protecting everyone else and suffering alone just like you said Lysa. Everyone else is walking in blessing and I seem to have fallen through the cracks at almost 60. So hard to believe there's something better and brighter ahead. Every day, every hour is a battle no one else understands but you've articulated it so so accurately. 💔
I’m going through a very challenging grieving that encompasses more than 7 close people, and assigned the task of being a Trustee, who was betrayed by 2 of her 6 children and 3 that died within a year. It’s been one of the toughest trials I’ve ever been in. These trials are becoming more challenging, because we are in the unfolding of Revelations. Good is being separated from Evil and it’s all being exposed. We need to allow him to transform our Lives, because he is not willing for any to be lost, regardless of how my heart feels the betrayal. This forgiveness is so hard, but necessary. The other Trustees and myself have been accused, rejected and attacked. We are in a Spiritual War and The Lord is doing the impossible that we can’t do. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” The Lord’s Mighty Hand is guiding all of us. I praise God for that.
Me same. Narcissist brother stealing our inheritance. 3 dead. I take one task at a time as I gradually reclaim my life back. Worst time ever. 6 long years so far. Nearly there.
Thank you for this.. my heart was breaking as I listened to your story.. I am going through things right now and it was very helpful to hear how God lifted you up and you were seeing things through his eyes as he was teaching you and preparing you. You are amazing and very articulate with your wording in order to get your heartfelt tragedies of life for others to understand.. what a beautiful blessing to me you are. Thank you
We are so sorry for your pain. We know that the Word says that God will never leave us or forsake us in Deuteronomy 31:6, and we pray this verse is both a reminder and encouragement for you.
This is my story exactly !! It’s been 20 yrs & I still can remember the pain I was broken. It changed my life in every way. Only God could have gotten me through it
Everyone goes through different pain. I know i been going through loneness pain and more, but all through this time i so have the word going on constantly and praise music because it can get so bad it at times i feel like i could loose my mind. I been dealing with spiritual warfare and i know the devil is trying to take away my hope. It can get so bad i can only say Jesus help me. I know this shall pass 🙌 plus i know He will get the glory out of all this pain my Journey my story 🙏💪🙌
My husband cheated on me and it was so devastating I thought I wanted to die I wanted to give up, but God told me to stay and still love that man and be good to him, I didn’t want to I went through hell with this man, the devil was in him and it showed because that man showed me how much he hated me. It wasn’t him it was the devil in who hated who I was in Christ. But I cried a lot prayed a lot fasted. Wanted to give up( this man was so disrespectful to me still seeing this woman) but God carried me through. I think God for keeping me and us. It wasn’t easy but with God all things are possible!! So I pray for whom ever has to go through this just hold on to God listen for his directions.
But God!!! Currently walking through one of the most difficult seasons of my life/marriage. I am believing in God for his will to be done… Thank you for sharing ❤🙌🏽😭
@@TreshicaDuncan No problem, just keep him lifted up in prayer DON’T STOP!! God hears every prayer his will shall be done not yours, his or that thing that’s coming trying to come between y’all. God is so faithful!!!! Be encouraged even when it doesn’t look good Pray,fast encourage others, it’s hard but do it!! I’ll stand with you sis in prayer🙏🏽❤️
Thank you, Lysa. I resonate with so much of your story. In addition is the rejection of my older child. We used to be so close. Living alone can become so lonely. I know God is rebuilding and recreating a new me. To Him be all the Glory and Praise
The content in this video is so applicable although there has been no adultery or infidelity in my personal marital relationship it feels as if there has been.....married 25 years but this last year has been completely celibate. I am hurting in ways that can't even be described. The pain and suffering is unbearable and it feels as if God is not even listening to my prayers. I can completely relate to this!
Coming across this book became a turning point in my forgiveness journey. Thank you Jesus for Your love, acceptance and healing touch 🙏🙏 God bless you Lisa❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing about the impact that’s left behind from the hurt. This is something a lot of people don’t seem to understand and sometimes I don’t even understand about myself. I feel seen in the deepest way and it makes the load lighter. God bless you!
Thank you Lysa I live on the other side of the world but hearing your story and your faith has encouraged me. In 2015 I left a domestically violent marriage with numerous injuries and the in 2016 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I felt so much like you did. Thank you for your faith and testimony
This made me so teary. Thanks for sharing your story. In spite of the deep pain, you continued to honour God. He must feel obligated to come to your rescue
Such. Great Lady , LT. Thank God for obedience in the faith. She has sad so much to help me bounce back . 💜 May God continue to be that Lamp and light in her journey! 🙏🏽
It’s Easter (Resurrection) Sunday. I’ve been in such a difficult time (season) for the past four years. And I am so thankful to God for allowing me to find this interview. I write also, but I would be so embarrassed to express my thoughts during my dark moments. God bless you for sharing.
I really understand what she is going through l was with someone for 19 years to find out it was all based on a lie and you mean a broken woman l was so broken until l didn’t even know which way to go l thought l was going to loose my mind l had to find myself again but to God Be The Glory He is showing me a so much version of me and like she said l had anxiety panic attacks for three maybe four years l couldn’t leave my house cause I was afraid lm sorry 😢l don’t want to go on but it was really bad l literally thought I was going to loose my mind .But the Love 💗 of God is bringing me though but better 😇
Thank you for sharing ❤️ much love from 🇿🇦 I have also been going through so much and I find life very difficult. Please put me in your prayers. Thanks ❤️
Sister I'm so glad to see this on my news feed seeing that our God is not only Able but also will Turn our Mess into a Message and our Test into a testimony always and forever in the mighty name of Jesus Amen so impactful thank you God bless you❤❤❤❤❤
This is raw, organic, genuine... 😢 Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 🙌 sharing herself I definitely believe that the Holy Spirit illuminated her shining His LOVE in & through her like placing her heart in a heated wax paraffin 🙌🤲🥺💔 pouring into her Praise Jesus
Oh Lord, I’m going through the grieving of a relationship and I can relate to what she is speaking of. Thank you for sharing your story, Lisa. You are an amazing example of loving IN faith!
This book was so good. I hate that you walked through this but I am thankful that you wrote this book. It helped me walk through my divorce. I never dreamed I would ever divorce my husband.
The 5th of April 2022 I gave my heart and all my pain to God. The 7th of April I found my husband with another woman. I was shattered and still am. I am still waiting for answers from God or any indication. The world is caving in on me. I am emotionally and physically messed up. Why Lord. Please help!🙏🏼🙏🏼
My husband left me for another woman 9 months ago. Feel the same way as you..trust in the lord i am also waiting for directio. It also shattered me. You may reply if you like.
I, too, was shattered after 23 years, cried for 3 years and now at 6 years I feel so grateful. You ask "why" Lord? Because He has something better for you. You will get stronger and better and I promise you will be happier. I have not even dated but feel so glad to feel peace and I get my "love and affection" from my wonderful God WHO WILL NEVER CHEAT ON ME OR LEAVE ME! Hang tough...you can do this! Much love and prayer for you
Dear sister, I understand your pain, unfortunately, I’ve had to walk through this myself. It is the most painful experience of my life. I just want to encourage. Seek God and His will for you, trust Him, especially when it does not make sense. Give the Father all the hurt and shattered pieces of your soul. He and He alone can and will heal you as you surrender to Him. May the Holy Spirit fill you with wisdom and knowledge and spiritual understanding. May He fill you with His peace. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for sharing. It was really helpful. I need courage and wisdom to face my fears because if I confront it, my life will be upended. Please pray for me.
Awesome message, thank you Lysa for sharing your experience with the world. You have no idea what a blessing you're to many of us. Lots of love all the way from Africa ❤❤
It's the statement about pain and why God sometimes allows it.Lisa .. I just have to say, that helped me today more than you know. May God continue to bless you and your family
Wow,I Thank God that I come across to this is interview,I am so blessed of ur life Miss Lisa❤🙏🙏😇God bless you and may The LORD will continue to use u mightily for His Glory 🙏😇
@@sixteen.candles.4644 Am sorry to hear. However it does not invalidate the perfect ways of God and His perfect timing. I hope you if the purpose of why He answered the way He did. May you He heal you.
This is in due season for me. I can’t help but cry with Lisa and she shares her story. The basis of our experiences r different but the walking blind with pain and suffering is the same. Jesus please show up in my life and help me to yield to u Father. And the last words said in this clip is I love u and u love me and that is enough. Hard words to say but when it call comes down to it that is it.
You had a good thing by visiting and staying with friends. I had to continue to work because my children were still in high school and my husband missed quite a few child support payments. Yes, you were blessed and didn't know it in your pain.
Wow, Lysa, you mentioned during this video that you weren't just broken into pieces, but shattered. Those were my exact words to my husband in a message to him last week after he told me he didn't want to fight for our marriage (me) because he doesn't see me as worth fighting for.
"God's lack of intervention hurtful" 😶🌫️ I started living in my car in 2010 and spent over a Decade sleeping in my car. I slept in my car this year and last year. I went to another state to try to get my autistic brother into rehab, unsuccessfully, so took me a month to find a job after spending All my savings to get this place I have to move out of the end of August. Despair is in my face... Because God allowed me to spend Over a decade homeless, Not on drugs, Not drinking, Not living in sin. Exhausted. Ashamed. Feeling abandoned. Rejected. UNLOVED. I am trying to put my Hook of Faith into God's Promises, AGAIN 🌈 and HOLD ON 🙏🏻 PLEASE Pray for me.
I don't know how to ever stop hurting, stop feeling destroyed, stop feeling rejected.. i don't know how to stop being triggered. I cannot even imagine ever having hope, love, or joy ever again
38:28 the only way to heal the pain is to deal with the pain. Do not avoid the pain and don't always try to numb the pain. Truth is hard but it will set us free
Oh how you plainly put the prac😮ticality of the Great controversy in your life story, my life story deepens the believe that God never beings the bad to happen to us. He is so loving . Thank you for sharing and showing me how difficult but possible is to walk this journey, and come out victorious.
I left my husband, four weeks ago, a relationship and married to 42 years 43 years in August a history of control. He says he’s a Christian serving God. never could understand because it just didn’t line up with the word of God.. I had to learn so many other times and went right back to the same old same old, but I had a breaking point don’t know if I possibly had a beginning of a rest breakdown. My anxiety went through the roof and something happened. I went to see a good Christian friend that I just needed to unload what it happened to me a few days before she gave me great advice point me back to the word she didn’t tell me to leave to.…stay. She just showed her love of Christ with me. I just wanted to be happy…and I left…. after years of abuse, mainly mental infidelity and control enough I had had enough yes every time I read one of Lysas books I’m amazed I’m not the only one that’s going through this or been there thank you, sweet Jesus… I will look back and realize that I survived and made it. Thanks Lysa

I’ve been where you are with the unfaithfulness over and over again. I found my identity & inner love through Christ word and not through another persons eyes. Placing all hope and trust in the lord, thank you for this reminder. ✝️☀️🙏🏻🥰
Thank you for your courage and strength
God’s blessings over you. ✝️☀️💪✝️🌷🌺🥰
You’re such a gift Lysa! God has used your pain for a purpose 🤍
Lysa was able to say exactly what so many of us would have said, but didn’t have the ability to say at the time we went through that too, and not as well as she said it!!!
I really need prayer in this. There are worse things that could have happened to me and I do feel very thankful for his every blessing. Yet, I am fighting to not be bitter, despaired, apathetic, etc. etc. 25 years ago it was not only that event that occurred, as I could have forgiven shortly after. It was what that person's actions did, that changed the trajectory of my life, and that of my children and every dream I had for them in their early years that could and did influence the trajectory of theirs. Every single word she said about the pain and brokenness is so exact of what I have been experiencing, and although it has improved , the aspect of how old I have become (prime years) loss dreams I can never get back etc. blah blah blah.
I am broken and cannot even discuss it, it is exhausting and depressing and entails "so much" to explain.
Everything she said and yes, the health. "This was my entire future"
Jesus, In your name I pray for restoration for us , only you know what I cannot even express, please help.
Amen
Our life is only complete in Him, no man can do what only our saviour can. Life is hard, painful and full of trouble, it's the fellowship of His sufferings, which as Jesus followers, we signed up to. But He sees you, knows your pain and will restore you. 💖🙏
Keep your eyes on Jesus, He is the only answer to every problem in this world! He will never forsake you, nor hurt you, He is our healer! I’m praying for you!
@@johayes6684 Thank you. He is all together lovely, I agree. Thank you for the prayers, highly appreciated and agreed upon, according to his one and true Holy word, in Jesus's name. Amen.
@@johayes6684 I to will pray for you and yours, in Christ Jesus's name my sister in Christ, Amen. I pray in thanksgiving, for his established good plans for you and yours, all fulfilled in his perfect timing, for his purposes and Kingdom plans, for his Glory, Honor and Praise he so richly deserves, I ask and give thanks now and in advance: "Thank you Abba, for knowing your daughter and your heart with her, every hair on her head numbered, every need, smile and tear, every prayer spoken, silent, feeling and desire. I know you are faithful and you never break a promise, this is so and I stand on your word. I am confident and by your authority my King Jesus, declare and decree, blessed is your fellowship in addition to your sonship with your daughter our Creator and Christ Jesus. For her and that of her House. In very direction, in and outside of time and space, in Christ Jesus's name Amen" . NOTE: To share sincerely, not to do big long winded prayers for others to see, etc. So you may be blessed, in Jesus's name.
Amen 🙏🙌❤❤❤
Lysa, I am truly sorry about the traumatic experience you have lived. I understand, because I have been there and have lived that unspeakable pain. "Shattered" in a good word to describe it. But I feel that your message is so much more mature and humble now because of that, and I love it! It's a message that can speak to a lot more women around the globe!
I’d there …. My heart still hurts….I felt my heart shuttered!!! I still trust God will bring beauty.
❤❤❤
I am 71 and have faced rejection so many times. It started when I was a little kid. Sometimes I think it is a generational curse that needs to be broken from within. But, rejection is not new to mankind, even Jesus was rejected.
I’m 72,, and same,, since a child. So much rejection and hurt and ridicule. I was not a Christian till my late 30s. What a journey. He is MY / our life,, I’ve been alone now 27 years,, after husband divorced me.
Yes if we suffer incidents neglect rejrction as xhildren pattern can repeat itself it may be generational.curse yrs
@@annettegriffin3947 generational curse or not, our God still brings restoration and purpose when we fully turn our eyes on Him. Thanks to Jesus, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!!!
I'm 72, sitting in the middle of a triggered trauma so like how my husband gaslighted me our whole marriage(29 yrs). I am so sorry that people have treated us so badly but I love this idea of boundaries, something this retired therapist can do. I pray for traumatized people. May we find peace.
She is correct about how we are pressed to believe that God will work on things . We just need to have some super faith . That’s not always the case. We can choose the wrong relationship sometimes and it all free will . If someone does not want to see their dysfunctional issues you can make them and that’s abuse. God allows hurt sometimes and we just have to keep praying.
Forgiveness takes time but if we don't we go crazy but it takes time.
Wow, she's a rockstar! I humbly admire her bravery, vulnerability and raw honesty. God bless you Lysa. I am so sorry you went through so much pain. I am going through a very dark time now and feeling lost but hearing her testimony is a great reminder that everything will turn out good for those who love God.
A beautiful testimony of love of God ❤God makes all the difference in every situation we go through ❤
This book was such a help to me while I was processing the birth of my stillborn baby boy. Thank you! ❤
The most painful journey for any woman or man is cheating
It's BETRAYAL--
Thank you for sharing your story.. I’m going through this right now in my life and I’m broke to the core.. I have been with my husband for 15 years and it’s very painful to experience such a thing in life.. I’m praying for everyone who has to face this pain ..🙏
Same. 16 years married, 18 together. I feel like my heart and soul are being wrenched from me. 😞 will be praying for you
Going through the same thing 27 years together 23 years marriage three years of an affair. It’s awful what he did not just the infidelity portion, but everything else that he did to me spoke of me took of me. I don’t know how I’ll ever recover. I don’t wish this shattered pain on my worst enemy.
@@nisse6952 it’s very hard I feel dead inside I’m only strong for my girls .. thank you 🙏 I’ll pray for you too I understand how you feel and what you going through.. may god help us not to lose our minds..🙏
@@Flo07109 I can imagine what you going through.. u question your reality and you lost yourself in process.. all I can tell you is that love yourself and all that love you had give that to god … we must be ok one day.. I’ll pray for you 🙏
Me too!!!
What a testimony to the Glory of God 🙌🏽
I'm not bitter, I'm better for all the healing & deliverance that ive been going through over the last 4yrs!!!
Powerful, courageous, and a real-life story of Job Lysa TerKeurst shares🙏🏾 His love is enough...thank you
May the good lord continue to bless you in way❤
Lysa, you have tremendous influence on my faith. Thank you always for your vulnerability. ❤
I love listening to you. Your voice is soothing. Your teaching is so official and truth..Must tell the truth as the cross we carry is bloody. Hallelujah for the price Jesus paid for our sins...
The experienced of betrayal at any level leave deep painful wounds that the person betrayed have to take to God to heal.
I thought that cheating was at the maximum level of pain but being left pregnant alone is even more painful. It has been the hardest moment in my life as a Christian woman.
God granted me with grace the blessing of having a healthy and beautiful baby but there are days that questions arise as of why? Why this and why this way? But walking into acceptance that we won’t have all answers we wish. God allows us to experience situations for him to used further in mysterious ways in my life.
My hope is in him❤️.
❤❤❤
Wow, I wish I could give you a hug. He will sustain you!
Beautiful story of redemption and restoration
Thank you SO MUCH for all the simple details you've shared. I'm feeling so lost with HOW to walk my walk with God. Feeling like YT sermons weren't good enough, or my audio Bible doesn't count for time with He who loves me without conditions. A mirror scares me after 39 years of subtle jabs and judgements pushing me to become the silent people pleaser protecting everyone else and suffering alone just like you said Lysa. Everyone else is walking in blessing and I seem to have fallen through the cracks at almost 60. So hard to believe there's something better and brighter ahead. Every day, every hour is a battle no one else understands but you've articulated it so so accurately. 💔
❤❤❤
I’m going through a very challenging grieving that encompasses more than 7 close people, and assigned the task of being a Trustee, who was betrayed by 2 of her 6 children and 3 that died within a year. It’s been one of the toughest trials I’ve ever been in. These trials are becoming more challenging, because we are in the unfolding of Revelations. Good is being separated from Evil and it’s all being exposed. We need to allow him to transform our Lives, because he is not willing for any to be lost, regardless of how my heart feels the betrayal. This forgiveness is so hard, but necessary. The other Trustees and myself have been accused, rejected and attacked. We are in a Spiritual War and The Lord is doing the impossible that we can’t do. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” The Lord’s Mighty Hand is guiding all of us. I praise God for that.
Me same. Narcissist brother stealing our inheritance. 3 dead. I take one task at a time as I gradually reclaim my life back. Worst time ever. 6 long years so far. Nearly there.
❤❤❤
Thank you for this.. my heart was breaking as I listened to your story.. I am going through things right now and it was very helpful to hear how God lifted you up and you were seeing things through his eyes as he was teaching you and preparing you. You are amazing and very articulate with your wording in order to get your heartfelt tragedies of life for others to understand.. what a beautiful blessing to me you are. Thank you
We are so sorry for your pain. We know that the Word says that God will never leave us or forsake us in Deuteronomy 31:6, and we pray this verse is both a reminder and encouragement for you.
❤❤❤
This is my story exactly !! It’s been 20 yrs & I still can remember the pain I was broken. It changed my life in every way. Only God could have gotten me through it
Thank you Lysa for sharing
It helps so much to see people walking the journey before you and still have strong faith
Everyone goes through different pain. I know i been going through loneness pain and more, but all through this time i so have the word going on constantly and praise music because it can get so bad it at times i feel like i could loose my mind. I been dealing with spiritual warfare and i know the devil is trying to take away my hope. It can get so bad i can only say Jesus help me. I know this shall pass 🙌 plus i know He will get the glory out of all this pain my Journey my story 🙏💪🙌
My husband cheated on me and it was so devastating I thought I wanted to die I wanted to give up, but God told me to stay and still love that man and be good to him, I didn’t want to I went through hell with this man, the devil was in him and it showed because that man showed me how much he hated me. It wasn’t him it was the devil in who hated who I was in Christ. But I cried a lot prayed a lot fasted. Wanted to give up( this man was so disrespectful to me still seeing this woman) but God carried me through. I think God for keeping me and us. It wasn’t easy but with God all things are possible!! So I pray for whom ever has to go through this just hold on to God listen for his directions.
But God!!! Currently walking through one of the most difficult seasons of my life/marriage. I am believing in God for his will to be done… Thank you for sharing ❤🙌🏽😭
@@TreshicaDuncan No problem, just keep him lifted up in prayer DON’T STOP!! God hears every prayer his will shall be done not yours, his or that thing that’s coming trying to come between y’all. God is so faithful!!!! Be encouraged even when it doesn’t look good Pray,fast encourage others, it’s hard but do it!! I’ll stand with you sis in prayer🙏🏽❤️
@@jacqulynvincent Thank you my sister !!! Sending light and love your way ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. ❤
So did your spouse finally stop the affair and restore his heart and soul to Christ? And is your marriage with him restored?
Thank you Lisa for “keeping it real”. X❤❤❤
Thank you, Lysa. I resonate with so much of your story. In addition is the rejection of my older child. We used to be so close. Living alone can become so lonely. I know God is rebuilding and recreating a new me. To Him be all the Glory and Praise
The content in this video is so applicable although there has been no adultery or infidelity in my personal marital relationship it feels as if there has been.....married 25 years but this last year has been completely celibate. I am hurting in ways that can't even be described. The pain and suffering is unbearable and it feels as if God is not even listening to my prayers. I can completely relate to this!
❤❤❤
This book has been such a wonderful gift for me. I wish I could get more of her books here in India. I keep re reading this book often.
Coming across this book became a turning point in my forgiveness journey. Thank you Jesus for Your love, acceptance and healing touch 🙏🙏 God bless you Lisa❤❤
I so needed this message today. Thank you Jesus.
Thank you so much for sharing about the impact that’s left behind from the hurt. This is something a lot of people don’t seem to understand and sometimes I don’t even understand about myself. I feel seen in the deepest way and it makes the load lighter. God bless you!
Thank you Lysa I live on the other side of the world but hearing your story and your faith has encouraged me. In 2015 I left a domestically violent marriage with numerous injuries and the in 2016 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I felt so much like you did. Thank you for your faith and testimony
Gosh that is a lot how are you now thanks for sharing youre life your story
GOD IS WITH YPU AND HOW ARE YOU NOW THANKS FOR SHARING OM.SORRY YOU WENT THROUGH SO MUCH
I love Lisa! She is so down to earth, real and relatable!! What a blessing she is to the body of Christ!
This made me so teary. Thanks for sharing your story. In spite of the deep pain, you continued to honour God. He must feel obligated to come to your rescue
Such. Great Lady , LT. Thank God for obedience in the faith. She has sad so much to help me bounce back . 💜 May God continue to be that Lamp and light in her journey! 🙏🏽
Love you Lysa ❤ thank you for seeking and loving Jesus always. Being a light to us 🌟

I like this lady. She is so funny and authentic. God bless you. You have a special spirit. Go let your light shine.
Silence the noise in my mind Lord...love her vulnerability
Thank you for your transparency.
Sounds like the worst of times and the best of times in this darkness of the soul that some of us go thru.
It’s Easter (Resurrection) Sunday.
I’ve been in such a difficult time (season) for the past four years. And I am so thankful to God for allowing me to find this interview.
I write also, but I would be so embarrassed to express my thoughts during my dark moments.
God bless you for sharing.
I really understand what she is going through l was with someone for 19 years to find out it was all based on a lie and you mean a broken woman l was so broken until l didn’t even know which way to go l thought l was going to loose my mind l had to find myself again but to God Be The Glory He is showing me a so much version of me and like she said l had anxiety panic attacks for three maybe four years l couldn’t leave my house cause I was afraid lm sorry 😢l don’t want to go on but it was really bad l literally thought I was going to loose my mind .But the Love 💗 of God is bringing me though but better 😇

Wow❤.....what an amazing testimony....powerful. love and prayers for you ❤
Oh Lord, I’m going through the grieving of a relationship and I can relate to what she is speaking of. Thank you for sharing your story, Lisa. You are an amazing example of loving IN faith!
This book was so good. I hate that you walked through this but I am thankful that you wrote this book. It helped me walk through my divorce. I never dreamed I would ever divorce my husband.
The 5th of April 2022 I gave my heart and all my pain to God. The 7th of April I found my husband with another woman. I was shattered and still am. I am still waiting for answers from God or any indication. The world is caving in on me. I am emotionally and physically messed up. Why Lord. Please help!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Do not lose heart for what we see is carnal what he sees is eternal.
My husband left me for another woman 9 months ago. Feel the same way as you..trust in the lord i am also waiting for directio. It also shattered me. You may reply if you like.
I, too, was shattered after 23 years, cried for 3 years and now at 6 years I feel so grateful. You ask "why" Lord? Because He has something better for you. You will get stronger and better and I promise you will be happier. I have not even dated but feel so glad to feel peace and I get my "love and affection" from my wonderful God WHO WILL NEVER CHEAT ON ME OR LEAVE ME! Hang tough...you can do this! Much love and prayer for you
Dear sister, I understand your pain, unfortunately, I’ve had to walk through this myself. It is the most painful experience of my life. I just want to encourage. Seek God and His will for you, trust Him, especially when it does not make sense. Give the Father all the hurt and shattered pieces of your soul. He and He alone can and will heal you as you surrender to Him. May the Holy Spirit fill you with wisdom and knowledge and spiritual understanding. May He fill you with His peace. 🙏🏽
@teresanunn3793 very good encouragement for those of us on this journey.
Thank you so much for sharing. It was really helpful. I need courage and wisdom to face my fears because if I confront it, my life will be upended. Please pray for me.
Thank you, I need it today... It was such a blessing to me ❤
Awesome message, thank you Lysa for sharing your experience with the world. You have no idea what a blessing you're to many of us. Lots of love all the way from Africa ❤❤
We are so happy that Lysa's words have blessed you.
I just love Lysa's authenticity, thank you for sharing your experiences I can relate and im encouraged❤
Thank you, for sharing your story with us, very encouraging. Especially, the aspect of Genesis 2.
It's the statement about pain and why God sometimes allows it.Lisa .. I just have to say, that helped me today more than you know. May God continue to bless you and your family
Thank you for sharing😭🙏🏽God bless you for helping us who struggle with our own situations.
Omg, so much of what I felt, Lysa out into words! Life is no joke for some but God does prepare and help us go through those jokes.
Wow,I Thank God that I come across to this is interview,I am so blessed of ur life Miss Lisa❤🙏🙏😇God bless you and may The LORD will continue to use u mightily for His Glory 🙏😇
God loves us too much to answer our prayers at any other time, but the right time ❤ in any other way but the right way.
Idk abt that. I was sent the right guy at the wrong time and it ended bad.
@@sixteen.candles.4644 Am sorry to hear. However it does not invalidate the perfect ways of God and His perfect timing. I hope you if the purpose of why He answered the way He did. May you He heal you.
I seem to sabotage myself little bit when l think of my past sometimes
This is in due season for me. I can’t help but cry with Lisa and she shares her story. The basis of our experiences r different but the walking blind with pain and suffering is the same. Jesus please show up in my life and help me to yield to u Father. And the last words said in this clip is I love u and u love me and that is enough. Hard words to say but when it call comes down to it that is it.
Betrayal sucks and hurts down to the deepest core of our soul!
I love your books and they have helpes he through my storms
Thank you
You had a good thing by visiting and staying with friends. I had to continue to work because my children were still in high school and my husband missed quite a few child support payments. Yes, you were blessed and didn't know it in your pain.
The TRUTH really does hurt.
Thanks so much for sharing your story such is life and my take is there's hope for is too.
Wow this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing
Wow, Lysa, you mentioned during this video that you weren't just broken into pieces, but shattered. Those were my exact words to my husband in a message to him last week after he told me he didn't want to fight for our marriage (me) because he doesn't see me as worth fighting for.
❤❤❤
"God's lack of intervention hurtful" 😶🌫️ I started living in my car in 2010 and spent over a Decade sleeping in my car. I slept in my car this year and last year. I went to another state to try to get my autistic brother into rehab, unsuccessfully, so took me a month to find a job after spending All my savings to get this place I have to move out of the end of August. Despair is in my face... Because God allowed me to spend Over a decade homeless, Not on drugs, Not drinking, Not living in sin. Exhausted. Ashamed. Feeling abandoned. Rejected. UNLOVED. I am trying to put my Hook of Faith into God's Promises, AGAIN 🌈 and HOLD ON 🙏🏻 PLEASE Pray for me.
❤❤❤
you Don't know how much this has helped me understand what goes on in so marriage, even my own.
❤ GOD LOVE US, I ❤ DEEPER CHALLENGE OUR FAITHFUL .❤ SACRIFICES. TO GLORY .AMEN.
Lysa is such a special, precious woman! Thank you, Jesus for such a tenacious witness for your love ❤
Wow your testimony touch my heart thank you so much sister
Relationship trauma is a very serious thing, but, .by the grace of God healing is possible but it's a journey.
I don't know how to ever stop hurting, stop feeling destroyed, stop feeling rejected.. i don't know how to stop being triggered. I cannot even imagine ever having hope, love, or joy ever again
With God all things are possible ❤❤❤
38:28 the only way to heal the pain is to deal with the pain. Do not avoid the pain and don't always try to numb the pain. Truth is hard but it will set us free
Finding that light in the dark toxic place isn't always easy
Oh how you plainly put the prac😮ticality of the Great controversy in your life story, my life story deepens the believe that God never beings the bad to happen to us. He is so loving . Thank you for sharing and showing me how difficult but possible is to walk this journey, and come out victorious.
I left my husband, four weeks ago, a relationship and married to 42 years 43 years in August a history of control. He says he’s a Christian serving God. never could understand because it just didn’t line up with the word of God.. I had to learn so many other times and went right back to the same old same old, but I had a breaking point don’t know if I possibly had a beginning of a rest breakdown. My anxiety went through the roof and something happened. I went to see a good Christian friend that I just needed to unload what it happened to me a few days before she gave me great advice point me back to the word she didn’t tell me to leave to.…stay. She just showed her love of Christ with me. I just wanted to be happy…and I left…. after years of abuse, mainly mental infidelity and control enough I had had enough yes every time I read one of Lysas books I’m amazed I’m not the only one that’s going through this or been there thank you, sweet Jesus… I will look back and realize that I survived and made it. Thanks Lysa
