    I need prayer. I recently ended a seven year relationship an drug addicted abuser. We were both in church the last eight months. We both dug in deep, fully committing to Jesus. He just couldn't let go of the drugs, so I broke up with him. Twenty-four days later, he was tragically killed while riding his bicycle by being hit by a truck. I can see that God has prepared me for this - all his stuff was already removed from my house, etc... God took him home on February 11, 2015. I never stopped loving him - this hurts so bad. Please pray for me, my daughter and his son.

    I'm right smack in the middle of one one of those seasons right now and I can't tell you how much I needed to hear that message at this very moment! Think God had anything to do with that? I have been doing well in my remodeling business up until last year when work started to slow considerably and I keep praying that things will turn around. I am still praying and will never stop but sometimes wonder if God is listening. I wonder how many times God has asked that question to Himself about me? Thank you for sharing the right message at the right time. I WILL persevere! (with God's grace of course!) I hope others will hear this and remember God's promise as well. God Bless.

    For the last four weeks I have been battling what feels like a losing fight. My vision will suddenly go completely black and I'm almost constantly dizzy, also I have horrible headaches. The doctors don't know what is wrong but have been running tests. If anyone will pray for me it would mean a lot to me.

    For the past two years I have been battling depression. It's been the most difficult and confusing times of my life, but it's actually what brought me to Christ. I struggle every single day, and I am doing my best for fully rely on the Lord. It's not easy, I function only with the medication I take, when I don't take it, I become suicidal, like before I began taking them. I know that God has a plan for my life, and I have been doing my best to persevere through this, but sometimes I feel like it's never going to end and I'll be stuck like this forever.

      Sylvia Prefontaine Ah, Yes i know exactly how you feel. Recently I found out I was pregnant and I had to stop taking my anti depressants. Without them its really hard. But this video was God speaking that his plan is the best plan. That with a willing heart, thats all he needs to change us. I will pray for you and you can persevere! Remember the finish line. One step at a time. You can do this.

    This video spoke right to my weary heart as I often struggle to persevere through this chronic constant pain that I deal with. But this video helped me remember that though I may not have a finish line here on earth, there really is no better finish line than heaven itself where I'll be with my Jesus. Still, I would appreciate your continued prayers for my health. Love you, friends. I pray for your ministry often.
    In the spirit of today being Valentine's Day, I would really like to see a video on how to be content with your singleness when you long to be in a relationship and, in the future, marriage and a family. This is something I've been praying about a lot lately.

    Hey Jon, your video about perseverance reminds me of this time when a video game developer had gotten sick of working on a game that his boss wanted him to make.So in secret he made a few dungeons in the game, and then came his boss, and asked him if they could make this game.The boss said they could if they could do it in a year.So the developer and his team took up the challenge.They were close to the end of the year when the boss said "We can delay the game if you need more time" and the developer was like "We'll definitely make this in one year!"He kept thinking of the finish line when him and his team were probably over working to get this game out on time.This game came out in a year and become a popular classic game.He had persevered and kept his eyes on the finish line and never gave up.

    Thank you so much for this 7 minute sermon. I'm truly blessed. I really need this right now. You see, I've been a good student for all my life. For the past years, I've been top on our class and one of the the most diligent one. Then this school year came and everything really changed. My grades are still fine but lower than usual and my speed at finishing my requirements is slowing down. I'm still halfway to finish everything with a month and a week to go before Honor Roll. I really wanna finish my requirements though it's quite impossible now cause I'm short of time, I'm easily distracted at school, and most of the things that motivates me don't motivate me anymore. Then this video came and it gives me a challenge to persevere. One step at a time, I know I could finish this race I'm running. I'll accept this challenge and preserve with the Lord's help☺ I really need your prayers too, so please pray for me. #WithGodNothingShallBeImpossible

    I lost my mother to cancer a month ago. My dad is trying so hard to provide for us but he is still unemployed Its hard to remain hopeful but glory to God, so many people have been supporting us through both prayer and finances that we managed to pay our morgage this month. I'm so grateful for their help and I continue to pray for a job for my dad.

  • @loveandhatesr11
    @loveandhatesr11 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been struggling and have fallen away from God, i haven't been in church in a few years and I was raised in a Christian home and was on fire for God when I was younger, I played on our worship team for 7 years and never thought I'd ever fall this hard, recent occurrences that have brought worry and stress over my life have really made me look to God and want him back in my life fully, I've always said to myself that I would start going back to church or start praying and reading my bible and making my alone time for God but I've been too caught up in myself to do these things, I just ask that someone pray that God pull me through this struggle and open my eyes to him and let me lay my life down again at his feet. Thank you for this video

    Thank you for all your words of encouragement. I have been listening to your videos for 30min to an hour straight now. Going back and forth and picking up things that I have been searching for everywhere but couldn't find. My heart was broken and I didn't know what to do or who to turn to so I 'faked' it until I 'made it' but let's be honest you can't fake getting through something like that. When you give your heart away and they toss it back. You try to catch it but you miss and it shatters like glass. You can hide it but you can't fix it on your own not if you have lost sight of who to look to. The harder you try to hide it the harder it is to get rid of it. I lost sight of HIM and focused on my weakness which I hated strongly. Recently I scared myself and realized that this could not continue so I have been seeking out God fervently ever since. Slowly but surely I am picking up the pieces and I feel a little less lost than before some times I don't have to pretend I am happy any more. I have days now where I am truly and actually happy. So thank you to adding to my strength. I am beginning to believe I can get through this.

    Lately, my walk with Christ hasn't been as strong as it usually is, I've been falling into temptations of the world, and being distracted of what gives temporary happiness and well as heartache (yes, relationship distraction). With this relationship that I've been in for the past 4 months, in it has consisted of what I've thought to be some of the greatest moments as well as some of the worst. I've allowed myself to be treated as an option, talked down on, and unappreciated. Ive usually been known to be a strong independent woman, knowing of my self worth and respecting myself enough to walk away from any mis-treatment or infidelity. But now, here, I feel weak, I have no guard. I've prayed for peace in both our hearts. So that arguments every day may fall. I know I can walk away, but I still have faith in the relationship. I completely don't know what to do or how to feel, so this is my season of perseverance. To hold on, until I can clearly see the path I'm suppose to walk upon, even though with my stray, I don't deserve it. Prayers greatly appreciated... Thank you!

    I'm in the midst of a storm currently. I suffered from a sickness the whole month of February and got extremely behind in school. Now I am suffering with complications because of how serious the sickness was. During that, my boyfriend broke up with me out of nowhere. We were really serious but he decided he didnt want to try anymore. We are both leaders in our youth group and im really close with his family so being around him so much has been extremely hard. But, It gave me the stronger desire to get closer to God. God has shown Himself so much through all of this with a quicker than expected healing, and understanding and comfort. Every Sunday my heart breaks more because of the situation with my ex. Its like a soap opera lol. But God has pulled me closer. I'm definitely learning patience and gaining strength through Christ. I am so excited to see what God is preparing me for. Thank you so much for the encouraging video. :) :)

    hi this is Candace I do appreciate this sermon and it hit home. I am just going through a difficult time right now with my family and it is exhausting. Through it all the perseverance required is to keep faith hope and charity alive for them. this broadcast has encouraged me to persevere in prayer even though I have to do it much pain rejection and emotional suffering. I feel like giving up but I'm anxious to see what the end of the race feels like.

    @MangaPixel 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was beautifully said. Really needed to hear this. Thanks Jon. Perhaps, God willing, I would love to hear a sermon about procrastination and about how a Godly man looks like. I think the latter can help both women and men to know the difference between a worldly man and a godly man. And perhaps even inspire other men to 'step it up' in a way, to persevere for sure, and to focus on God as God focuses on him and moulds him each day. God bless brother!

    Thank you for this video. I have had this on hold for a while but God choice for me to hear it today. The last three years and today has been the most painful and challenging times ever and as a recovering addict alcoholic, it has been the hardest challenge. Despite the overwhelming pain, i managed to get 20 years. Sinxe April 2012, i have had two long time friends, my dad an close cousin pass away. My dad dying in front of me during April 2013 has turned my world upside down. Also my longest job has ended and my body has gotten worse so i am unable to get back to work. Had to apply for disability and desperately praying that it comes through in January an would prefer sooner. It is a miracle that i am alive and sober. pray that God Will supply a steady paycheck and i get a real social life and more

Thank you for your teaching me to live one day at a time, I hope and I will pray for the disability ensurance, please pray for me for signing a new contract in January, I finish on Dec, hugs

    • @RandyR
      @RandyR 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Consuelo Castillo Thanks my wife and i stepped out on a huge step of faith and signed a new year lease for this apartment for another year and neither of us are working. Also barely staying together. I know that he helped get me off the streets when i was an out of control drunk an addict and i doubted that i would ever be able to work again after 14 years. Yet with his help,now been clean and sober 20 years @ was able to work for 16 years before body totally fell apart. I have quit asking why because i may never know. life has a way of throwing us things when we least expect it. Am not taking the four deaths, end of my longest job or body falling apart in a spiritual matter .Because then i would be angry at God and that would get me nowhere. Being that i have 16 medical conditions, i just ask that i can live again before i am finally set free from all this pain. No there will be no holidays for me.

    I've watched this video after a Q&Jay on Facebook, after I asked something. It helped me in little steps and I love to watch it again, when I struggle. I also need prayers. Because I've finished a 2 years during therapy and I am now out of it. I've dealt with self-harm, anxiety-attacks, ednos, depressions, suicide thoughts and attempts. Now this all is coming back since of the beginning of this month. When I open my eyes in the morning, I have to promise myself that I don't hurt myself in any way today. I repeat it daily. But the trigger is getting stronger (the devil is real!) and I am struggling at work more than ever. So I don't even want to go in the mornings.
    I asked God many times, in which place does He want to have me. Like in the job ( I haven't any education) and in my future. And I haven't get an answer in month... So yeah... I feel a bit lonely and left... Or not answered...
    I hope, you can help and/ or pray.

    Thank you so much this has helped me a lot I really love your sermons their quick and straight to the point!! I have been struggling with adrenal fatigue for the last year. I am involved in ski racing which is a great passion of mine. But it has been so hard to be able to train and put in the effort that I need to in order to do well. I am currently training in Europe and unfortunately I have to go home and put things on hold for a while until things get better. I also have to get a shoulder surgery within the next few months too. Skiing is a very hard sport but through all the ups and downs God has been with me an has taught me a lot. Right now things are hard and its tough to not be doing very well and to have to put behind your dream for a while. But God is constantly reminding me that this is only a season and I that he is faithful and that he will pull me out of this. I would love your prayers!!

    @pblproductions2679 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Prayer request and comment!
    Your you are awesome video got me through such difficult times and also confidence in getting my dream job!
    So now in perseverance my prayer request in this difficult time right now:
    I have had personal childhood issues that have lead me to not thinking I can know true love of a human. I know I am called to marriage, then God placed this amazing man that through prayer God has made him perfect in how I should be treated and loved. But in receiving this love I became obsessed with it and swarmed and overloaded him with wanting more. So the prayer request I have is that this now we have reached a time that needs space. And it's the waiting in this time of space which is super hard for me bc now that love is completely not there during this time. Even though I know he still does it's harder to see when it's not there. So. There is my prayer.
    But I would love to have a how to!!
    Be independent or regain that independence I once had!
    And how to know and give the proper space in a relationship!
    Thanks for allowing God to work through you! I long for the day my independence is back now through these steps of perseverance and the storm passes to enjoy this love, if not too late, that God has given me but still more importantly have God as my first love in my independent life!

    It seems that it never gets easier to persevere. That makes sense because we are not yet perfect. Thanks for the encouragement and help focusing on the right things.
    My mom has an inoperable brain tumor that is rapidly growing and messing with her mind. Some times perseverance is just what is needed to get through the day.
    God's word is indeed a mighty sword. Thanks for wielding it for us when we can't, when we are overcome, when we are too tired, or when we just can't read through tear-filled eyes -- when we need to remember.

    I'm not sure I know how to word what I'm going through right now. I'm confused and I'm not sure what is going on. I feel like my emotions are all over the place. I haven't been in a normal sleep pattern for a while and I have been trying to figure out what needs to change. I have been asking God for answers to several questions and not getting answers. In decision on what will help me get back into a normal sleep pattern and help my body heal from the current problems are all wrong. God will bring complete healing but I'm trying to do things that will help until then. Hopefully that makes some sense or God will lead you on how to pray for me. I know that ultimately God is the only that can help me and I know he has all the answers. Even in this time I do know that God is good and worthy of praise and I'm holding onto him. Thank you for the encouragement and making me smile. God bless you.

    Thank you for this video, I'll probably watch it again and take notes:)
    I would really appreciate prayer for emotional and physical healing.
    For the past (around) 2 1/2 years I have been dealing with so much horrible pain all throughout my body. It started out with my foot/achilles area, then my knee, then it was all throughout my right leg to foot. I also started having lower back pain. I have terrible nerve pain all throughout my right leg and pain in my neck. This past december I was hit by a car, my dog Cobi was also hit and died instantly. Before my accident I was already dealing with so much physical pain, which got worse after my accident, but the emotional pain has been very hard as well, I am definitely stronger emotionally and physically since the accident, but I still go through waves of sadness and hopelessness. I'll read my bible and do devotions but a lot of the time nothing seems to stick in my head and I keep going back to thoughts of, why did this happen to me? Why hasn't God healed me? Why is my treatment not significantly helping? Why can't my doctors figure out exactly what's wrong? I feel like I've been praying the same things for so long that my prayers don't even mean anything. But I guess looking back I have been persevering this whole time. I would cry out to God, feel like He was not answering, try to depend on myself, realize I cannot get through this on my own, go back to God. In the end I always keep going back to God, He is my only hope. Even though my body is not healed and I am not always mentally/emotionally doing so well, I just know there is nothing else in this world that can get my through this. I get so tired of doubting, yet I still do it and I still have days where I imagine having to live life like this. Thank you to whoever took the time to read all of this!

    Thank you for this video. Please continue with your page. It really helps me with things I dont understand, things I need more clearance on and just to pick up my spirits when I feel a bit down in my spiritual journey. May I also make a prayer request: I'm in my final year of an undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science... and it is so difficult. It feels like all my efforts are just not enough. I feel as though this is where I am supposed to be and this what I am supposed to be doing. This is the path God has given me. I just need the spirit of endurance. I need to not lose focus on the finish line. Please pray for that on my behalf. I will surely be doing the same from my end.

    Thankyou for this video, it was Really helpful. I would really like to know how to talk to my friends about my faith and God as most of the people I talk to at school are not Christians. They have no interest or are even afraid to speak or think about God and I am ever praying for them to see the light of Jesus, but I don't know how or what to say to them. This would really help me xxx Annabel

    Thank you Jon, your videos always make an impact on me. I have gone through many struggles in my life, I have always been a fighter though, I have refused to give in and lay down. Unfortunately, I am ashamed to say that through some of those trials I have lost my faith in God more than once, feeling abandoned and alone. But for almost every trial, I can now see his reason, his lesson, and for those I cannot yet understand, I have faith that there was, and one day I will see them too. Each time that I stand up again after a long hard fight, I feel closer to God and my faith is strengthened.

    I have been persevering through marriage separation for nine months. God is moving mountains and working hard on my husband, but it is so difficult and I keep feeling like I've reached the end of what I can survive. Praying for endurance and my husband's return to The Lord, and that I can be a good mother to my two babies.

    I say this in love (or at least will try to) honestly, this didn't help me. It's not that your research and delivery was bad; but perseverance is painful at worst. I'm not sure how difficult your life can get; but mine is VERY difficult. On a scale of 1-10, mine is a 10. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and struggle with thoughts, feelings, voices. I haven't had hallucinations in a while. Anyways, I still thank you for this video and thank you for doing what you can!!!! I pray our hearts and minds be kept in Christ Jesus. Yay what a beautiful promise

    I'm currently preserving through many broken relationships in my life, and at times it seems impossible because I have lost all my communication with this person so I feel discouraged about my circumstances but I try to keep reminding myself that the lord is working when I am at rest and that he has all the power I just need to leave it in his hands, but sometimes I wonder if he actually wants me to try harder by reaching out to the person by finding friends to communicate with through me or maybe write to them. I think I should just wait and work on my relationship with god so my faith is strong and I know to not listen to my temporary doubts.
