Honestly, this book ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ gave me the encouragement I needed to stay strong in raising my kids with Christian values, it’s comforting to know Im not alone on this journey
This thug collaborated with Jerry Falwell Sr. to charge all Liberty Students $7 for that book called Purposes Driven Life. I was working a minimum wage job and $7 was too much for me for the book I did not need. I was so broke and I could not afford $7 at that time. I requested the students account office to remove that $7 from my account but the refused. You are talking of somebody exploiting you at your lowest point. Chickens have come home to roost.
So true when my mom died, I didn't talk... I was eleven and everyone wanted me to get therapy because I was so quiet...they thought I was traumatized...but what could I say... I didn't know what to say...but thankfully the Lord met me where I am at and helps me each and every day, so grateful💞
@@nomatusi7514 Had you told them about your lack of funds, I'm sure they would have Given you the book for free! But you, by spitting hate, show the world what kind of person you are!
almost 3 years ago, at almost 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of Chess. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one). I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me. The doctors said i’dnever get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life. I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace. I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse. They blamed me for the abuse they did to me. To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal. Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them. I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. All my cards have fallen down. I have nothing left. But out. I wanted out. I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills. But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me. The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along. He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart. HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME . Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I have a job and am totally healed , full of joy. I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU HE. LOVES. YOU.
Duet 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge & underneath are the everlasting arms. If God is for u who can be against u...I praise God for what He did in your life, what a wonderful testimony u have.
Praise God for revealing himself to you. What a great testimony. You are loved!!! Be blessed and be a blessing to others, that stuck in these dark places!!!
I had a troubled childhood, grew up depressed. There were times I had wished that I was not born into this world at all. Had I not found the love of Jesus Christ at the right time I wouldn't be here to watch this video today. The best treatment for extreme mental depression would be finding the love of jesus Christ ......
Yes How dangerous it is to say people who commit suicide can go to heaven.. I was like you and also had mental problems My parents were so successful like Rick No one knew what was the problem in our family system He is a human being It is painful to go through those difficult times but don’t say that Many People are being tempted to commit suicide You are mislead people now..
People have empathy for a broken body, but very little for a broken mind. Thank you for sharing this painfull story and help people to understand that chronic depression is reall and thank you for sharing your story. Job’s friends understood the ministry for only one week. they kept quiet and then they blew it! Can soo relate to this
I believe that God has called me to minister to people who are struggling with mental health. Pray with me for strength and power as I embark on this journey.
This is a wonderful ministry to go into. Read the scriptures for guidance on it. God led me to ministry and has led me to deliverance. There a supernatural war going on and people are battling spiritual warfare. Suicide is on the rise and there is a spirit behind it. Look in the scriptures at the two people who killed themselves, the scriptures say they were taken over by Satan. King Saul was being tormented by familiar spirits. That allow us to know that depression is a spiritual attack from the enemy. Jesus tells is to cast out demons and not to be deceived. Claim.the blood of Jesus and know that through Jesus the enemy has to leave. God bless you !!
I suffered from depression, drug addiction and eating disorders. The drugs made my depression so much worse. I finally turned my life over to God and let it be his will and not mine.
I know what deep depression feels like. I lost my 12yo daughter, Lana, on Feb 24, 2020. I can’t even choose joy when I wake up everyday with a broken and empty heart. I only manage to live day to day for my 14yo daughter, Jadyn who witnessed her sister get ran over by a truck. I long to be in the presence of our Lord, Jesus. Jesus... please come soon! 🙏🏼
Prayers for you and your healing journey-I’m so sorry for your loss. Lost my son almost 2 yrs ago-suicide. The loss of a child is so very hard. You are not alone-please reach out. I now run a grief group for parents that have lost a child-through my pain-I have helped so many-and it has helped me as well. The pain gets better-I promise. But there is always an ache in your heart that comes up and the most unexpected times. It’s Mother’s Day and I have been crying all day. But I know-through my faith-I will push through. You will too. Keep pushing, praying I ask Holy Spirit to wrap his arms around me every night so I can sleep.
This is rough. Faith doesn't deny reality. My youngest daughter struggles with depression. I know what he is talking about and my blood runs cold. Everyday I have to put her in Jesus' hands. The things she confesses to me are heartbreaking. I watched this transformation take my baby girl as she approached puberty. There was nothing I could do but watch her fall apart. Now she is 23. We just celebrated her birthday. Never stop praying for and loving your child. Ever! Trust God's grace. The cross was enough. This is our only hope and sanity and why people need Jesus.
soo agreed.I put both sons in God's hands. I know God loves them more. Mercy Me's, Even If, inspires me. Plus We DO NOT GO THROUGH ANY PAIN OR SUFFERING that can MATCH OR SURPASS WHAT CHRIST WENT THROUGH FOR US! Rather people want to recognize this or not. We are in a VERY REAL SPIRITUAL BATTLE. What enemy meant for evil God can use for our good n HIS GLORY. CHRIST is STILL coming back.
Thomas davenport: your daughter has a demon and rick son had a demon of depression. You have get a deliverance buy a real pastor that has the power of the holy spirit. Its the only way wheither you believe in or not. Its demon oppression. Jesus is still alive and he can deliver her from the torment. Look up these guys and go to them and you will see uour daughter healed. VLAD SAVCHUK AND BOB LARSON! Its hard to say this but ricks son died because they dont believe in deliverance i could tell but his speech. But you can believe and girl your daughter freed please!
It’s a real suffering to watch our children go through such agonizing pain. I have two sons, one with mental illness since 17 and the other with severe anxiety both recovering from addictions; especially my younger son. Each and every day I pray for them, constantly. Such heartbreak, but I will never , ever give up. I continually trust in my Lord.
@@alg2250This is a damaging statement that brings an unnecessary burden. How dare you put those Spiritual burdens on another member of the body. Jesus' burden is light and yoke is easy and would never speak to His children the way you have.
You guys are to be so excited your in so much pain because where there's a lot of pain there's a lot of reason for God manifest in your life, Read your bibles about what Jesus already did for you what he has said about you and believe in your hearts that Pain is only there to gain revelation of wisdom of healing that you would have never had if it wasn't for the pain and it grows your testimony of reasons to believe the next time someone asks, why do you believe what you believe...
@@jfender8023 Oh yes, make us feel guilty for our brain telling us to kill ourselves. Certainly not helping here. No. We who struggle with suicidal depression cry out to God, and we get no answer, Notta. God performs miracles, but he does not always answer the way we ask. God has not taken this life-threatening thorn from my flesh. Please know that God does not cure all. I cry out to Him knowing he hears me and I will be in Heaven someday. For now, I must suffer a horrible mental, spiritual, and physical hell life on this earth due to suicidal depression. Please don't quote Bible guilt to people who's brain is telling us to end our lives. That is of no help to me whatsoever.
@@jadegreenjade Your brain telling you to kill yourself ? Listen to your prayer to Satan Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Ask God to help you , pray in the name of Jesus the Christ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
@@jfender8023 My prayer to satan (small s). Are you crazy? Must be. I'm only still here because I cry out to Father God daily. satan has no foothold here. My brain has been hit, traumatized to the point it no longer functions normally. People like you who blame people like me for having serious physical brain abnormalities. TBI's, 58 stitches to my head from a violent car crash, electrocuted as a child, horrific bike accident (brain trauma), sexually abused/ptsd, beaten, tortured, given away. And more, but too private to discuss here. So, please be quiet. My brain has been rewired from too many injuries. Football players, military veterans deal with TBI's, ptsd, serious brain injuries and some take their own lives because their brains no longer functions normally, why can't you get this through your head. I talk with God all the time, as the intrusive thoughts to kill myself daily play out in my head. Pastor Rick said Matthew had told him that his pain was too great, his brain ruled his thought life. But, you don't get it, you'll never understand because you are not like Matthew, and you are not like me. You don't struggle with Matthew's or my suicidal depression. So, you have no idea what you're talking about. Please stop preaching, harassing me. You do not suffer from suicidal depression. Do you. No. So please stop blaming me for my brain's intrusive thoughts to kill myself. Stop telling me about satan/lucifer. I talk with God as intrusive thoughts tell me to kill myself. You have NO idea what you're talking about. Not a clue. It's people like you who guilt people like me into going ahead and killing myself. So, I will not answer you again. You do NOT struggle with suicidal depression like Matthew did, like I do now, or you wouldn't be repetitively blaming me and my spiritual life (you probably blame Matthew too) for these rote crazy-making deadly daily thoughts. Please stop harassing me on youtube. I feel like you are stalking me on youtube. Please stop.
Our Caitlyn died by suicide at 12 years old. We miss her so much. She was precious and beautiful. We will never be the same. It changed our life forever. Rip Caitlyn. Forever 12
My son committed suicide on February 22nd, 2021. His Birthday would have been yesterday. He would have been 41. I am so sad. I have a group of people surrounding me. I do not know what I would do without them, to this day, Mother’s Day, 2021. He was loved for all he had done over his life in helping others too. I am still in shock, but also pain. I try to suit up and show up for the most part, but honestly it’s going to be awhile longer before I’m strong enough to help anyone with the kind of strength shown here. I will someday, but till then I’m just trying to be with God in solitude, and writing what God gives me to do.

Rick Warren will never know how much he saved and changed my life by helping me to understand more, how much Jesus loves me. God Bless Him and his late son. RIP Matthew.
Brother Warren, I lost my 24-year-old daughter to suicide. This has been over 2 years ago. I have never experienced anything as painful in all my life. May God continue to carry you and your wife daily. My wife and I have never been the same. We also hold on to the grace of God. The words God has given you in this short video are precious and meaningful. I hope everyone who has been touched by this type tragedy can take away: you are not alone, and God’s grace will empower you to not waste your one drop of your pain. I write all this with great humility.
My sister committed suicide in 2014. All I know about suicide is that it's the most tragic death to get over for those who knew that person, let alone the parents. May God's love enfold you.

My husband committed suicide in March of 2019. I literally felt like someone cut my heart open and he walked out! I don’t no where he is now but l do know that God never allow something in our life without a purpose he is still the Lord of my life even though I’m still in pain l can make it because of the finished work on the cross. Keep the faith Saints.

My mother suicided at age 21..left m 6 mths old brother, me 19mths old and sister 4yo. Dad a soldier has a heck of a ride . Life's been very hard so I'm pleading please don't suicide, the pain and destruction left behind is more than most can bear. Watch your families your friends, save them
My husband killed himself five years ago. It’s changed me forever I lost my mind for a time and required 24-hour care. You’re right: Suicides leave behind a swath of destruction that most folks can not imagine.
I love the phrase “show up and shut up”. So many people worry that they don’t know what to say or do when someone experiences a tragedy. That phrase confirms that you can just be present with someone, and that’s enough.
May Almighty God bless you I don't know you in person but God knows you. God showed to me a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding on to them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and a motive to destroy.

@@pastorrickwarren9874 I have been to your profile and there is nothing that would indicate that you are really Pastor Rick Warren. Pretending to be someone else would be deceit and that would be sin. I also think I saw a similar, maybe even the same, message as reply to another person. Jesus said it's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God. Repent before it's too late.
My father was born blind. His life is the testimony of how to manage your life to the glory of God. He is the most wonderful man of God. His story, is for God’s glory. God’s story is my dad’s glory.
My dad became blind because of his sinful life before Christ, afterwards he came to the Lord and he could literally see the spiritual world even though he couldn't physically see, my mom and dad were used to healing and demonic deliverance.

If you have ever experienced deep depression, there is nothing you want more than for the pain to stop and if that means going home to the Lord, you pray for that. It’s no different than having a broken bone that stays broken, except it’s your brain. Love to you and your family.

Yup. This describes what it felt like for me in 2020-2021 where my younger sister had a personal issue that dragged the whole damn family in. Counting me, when I was doing lots of personal work, too. During that time period, I really wished to be put down either by God in my sleep, or through a person.
My Niece Amy struggled with depression & ultimately finally took her own life. My sister & husband were crushed,& devastated. I thank God your testimony helped them. My wife Marianna now to has had a nervous breakdown due to Pandemic & recent situations & needs a miracle from God, please pray for my wife.
I pray for your wife that the right hand of God be upon your wife now in Jesus Name. May God's peace envelope her total being in Jesus Name. May God give you the wisdom to help her out in JESUS NAME. Thank you Jesus for answering our prayers.
“The deeper the pain the fewer words you use” “Show up and shut up” I have to implement this with my son who has been struggling with mental illness since he was little boy and is still is struggling as a 23-year-old man! This past week has been a difficult one! Please 🙏 for us!

The Lord be with him and your family....I am struggling with the pain of suicide and I don't wish it to anyone...may the.Lord please show our kids how much it pains us parents when they are in this sad place...may the Lord heal and protect him...
I’m so sorry about your son Rick! I lost my Dad 17 years ago and my mom too last year. It has been the darkest time of my life for me but I’m still believing that there will be a turn of events some day. I pray that this pain will bring out my greatest ministry and give hope to thousands of people going through what I went through!
When I read that his son committed suicide I cried. I asked myself how do a parent get over this? I had a discussion with my son who just turned 18 years old and daughter who was 10 years old and told them whatever happens to you remember that I'm here for you no matter how hard you feel your life is. I love you unconditionally ❤. Yes we all go thru hardship but GOD IS MERCIFUL AND HIS GRACE IS AMAZING. 🙏

I'm in pain every day. stuck in what feels like emotional quicksand. My passion for life is nonexistent rt now. I can't imagine ever feeling well again. Everything hurts. When I wake up reality rushes back into my mind and heart. I know my lord and my faith is strong .I couldn't go through this without his comfort . I lost my son 3 months ago. Joey was 26. I found him in the morning and held him as I prayed and cried. It was diabetes related we believe... still don't know for sure. I miss his voice ,his face ,his way , his intelligence, his love, I miss being whole. I miss talking to him, his attitude, his laugh , I miss my baby boy . I miss being who I was. I know one day I'll be reunited with him. I can't wait 🙏 Lord please stay close to me. I'll be needing you more then ever. Jesus I love you.
You wrote this 2 years ago but I am just now seeing it. I lost my son to suicide so I understand where you are at and I am praying to God on your behalf that he will comfort your broken heart. May you experience his presence and be filled with an indescribable joy that only our Heavenly Father can give. God bless you on your journey.
Dear Pastor Rick, 2:30am here in Tsv Australia I am listening to your testimony repeatedly. What you have just shared really lifted my heart, *The deeper the pain the fewer words we use*. I lost my 16 year old son through suicide. I found him myself. I prayed this way, Lord please have mercy upon me. Anyway long story short, he stayed another 3 more days in ICU and passed on. I pleaded to our Father in Heaven, nothing happened. My last words were, Lord I asked but You did not give me my son back - But I will still follow and serve You. It was that very moment my life shifted. I truly believe and know there is nothing that takes God by surprise. He is God and He change NOT. He is still sitted on His Throne AMEN 🙏. I pray God's Divine Healing, Favour and Excellence upon your Ministry and it is in Jesus Name I pray AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
Lord Jesus I pray for healing amongst the misunderstood and troubled in this fallen world and God bless extraordinary Christian leaders like Rick Warren 🙏
I lost a brother to suicide in 2013. His statement: show up and shut up was spot on. I had one person who did just that. There are no words necessary because no words can ease that deep pain.
My Pastors son (also my friend) recently committed suicide. I immediately sent this video to them. Thank you Pastor Warren for sharing your testimony!!!

My son committed suicide July 2, 2019 I listened to Rick Warren’s whole story on this several times. It was a life saver when my son died. I feel like I will never be healed. My heart is still so broken.
I say this with as much sensitivity as I can. The pain must be hard but... I genuinely believe that Jesus came to bound up the broken-hearted. You can be healed.

maybe he was to good for this world...like Aaron Schwartz-this world didn't deserve him ( For some souls is to evil, to dark here ...You will meet him at the gates)
What Rick is saying about the deeper the pain, the fewer words to use…sooo right. It’s your presence that people value. There are few if any words that help during unimaginable pain.
When I lost my mom to cancer, after already losing my dad of a sudden death, those who just hugged me and cried with me gave me the most comfort. The most heartbreaking thing was well meaning people,and yet clueless, who would tell me “at least she’s in a better place and not suffering”.

I pray that my son is covered by the blood of Jesus. I try to converse with him about different things, but he don't really open up to me. I feel that he is holding a lot of pain, hurt, disappointment, fear, anger, and un-forgiveness inside of him. I see videos like this, and it make me concern. I know how TH-cam work, and they use algorithms. But I don't think something like this pop up by accident. So, I pray that he will be alright in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen.
As a parent GOD listens to ya prayers over ya son. I have used Psalms 138:7-8 and the blood of JESUS to detach my son's soul from every evil altar and have seen my son open up and is all jolly in the house, praise b to GOD. So don't give up keep praying and stay positive
I agree with this prayer, Lord Send Labourers to Bring all the wayward son's & daughter's Home in Jesus Name Surround them with a shield of Protection in Jesus Name
Yes.. i agree Rick. God spoke to me vocally “i have a purpose for your pain.”...God knows how deep my pain is...I’ve longed to be free of this pain but I’m becoming grateful for it. Ive struggled with metal health..terrible things happened to me before i was 2 then after i was adopted. I want to embrace my pain..please pray for me so i can partner with God in my pain and use it to bring souls to His heart forever.
This touched me so deeply. My best friend i grew up with took her own life on August 5 2020 and it's been such a hard time, I've been a Christian all my life but this event took alot out of me because I've had so many tragic events in my life and I know the Lord is always with me but this event hit me hard , I'm in a state of emotional numbness from these attacks on my life since I was born . I know my Savior Jesus is always with me I'll never deny that but I just can't wait to get out of this wilderness. I pray for the healing of everyone who's ever lossed a loved one to suicide my heart is with you!
I’m sorry for your loss. My best friend too took his life on August 7th 2018 and my life turned upside down. I know your feeling to my very core. I pray for you and your healing.
My heart goes out to Pastor Warren and all families affected by suicide. My 29 year old sister took her own life almost 30 years ago, after a life long battle with bipolar disorder. In that moment, I lost the best friend I will ever have. The shock and pain have lessened over the years, but I still feel so sad that she missed out on all the joy life has to offer. Watching her 2 children grow and achieve advanced degrees. The permanence of suicide is what is so hard to accept.
I have experienced similarly.. we and our son searched the world !!! my son is still alive.. unexplainable.. it’s broken beyond torture.. oh my may my son overcome and I may share with u someday.. love and blessings!!
Rev Rick Warren, Mathew, your son, is living a beautiful, amazing life with our Lord! Mathew's Ministry is not over, the Lord is going to use him in a mighty way! Mathew is looking forward to seeing you arrive at heaven, but wants you to stay on earth as long as the Lord wants you here to complete your assignments, you and your most precious wife, Mrs Rick Warren. We love you dearly, studied two of your books in Seminary. My husband is a Pastor of a Spanish, American Baptist Church. We call it a Seed Church, obviously due to it's size. I feel that Mathew sowed his own life to The Lord, and for that he will be greatly rewarded. Blessings

You guys are to be so excited your in so much pain because where there's a lot of pain there's a lot of reason for God manifest in your life, Read your bibles about what Jesus already did for you what he has said about you and believe in your hearts that Pain is only there to gain revelation of wisdom of healing that you would have never had if it wasn't for the pain and it grows your testimony of reasons to believe the next time someone asks, why do you believe what you believe...
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry for your loss. It will take time, counseling, surrounding yourself with loved ones. I’ll pray for you and your family!! 😢🙏🏻
You don't have to. You can't choose joy. People who lost loved ones need to go through GRIEF period. You need to process all emotions good/bad to go up emotional scale. If you are JOY instead of MOURN then you are a crazy wife.
I am so sorry for your loss! I feel your pain. And cannot began to imagine what you are going through. Yet I can relate. My Mom suffered 25 days after a botched surgery. It is almost 8 months since she died and that we were denied a post mortem, 7 months since the faulty coffin that made her coffin fall when being lowered...life is hard... ...but God is my source of strength. He is with me comforting me...I call upon Him..i continually cry my heart out to Him, esp when I think about my Mom (who could not see) ALONE with those medical people who knew what they were doing would hurt her kidney.... May GOD comfort and strengthen you in this storm and complete shift of life! Call upon God even more...Psalm 34 says He us close to the brokenhearted. Let yourself be vulnerable...grief needs its own time...has its own brain-but don't allow grief to overcome you! Remember Gratitude for the time you had with your precious husband and life partner. Keep gratitude for what God has done for you in calling you out of darkness and see him walk with you and deliver you from the worst of this. God is Faithful! God blesses you and is with you in this valley! ❤ th-cam.com/video/p4rRCjrAyCs/w-d-xo.html Hills and Valleys
I totally agree. I’m wondering why he doesn’t mention that. Torment of the mind is not from God. It’s totally demonic. The Bible says “I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” They needed a deliverance to happen in this situation. So sad.😢
As christian god has given us authority to bind this evil spirit of suicide and we must rebuke them in the name of jesus god has promised us to give us victory over satan and demons we will trample on serpents and scorpions and nothing will harm us jesus on the cross has accomplished for us the church of god
I just want to say, if this might help. I've had depression all my life, and what helped me is seeing a naturopath, who advised me to change my nutrition because so many chemicals are in the food we eat that it affects our overall health, especially our hormones. We overlook that factor but it's not all mental, it's mostly physical and nutrition. Praying for everyone who is battling with this illness.
People have gone on diets that require eating food just as God made it and they’ve cured their cancer! Diet is HUGE, and instead pills are pushed on us and they don’t actually cure us.
@@prh. I'm not an expert but if anyone has been feeling extremely sad and afraid due to trauma, it is best to seek help from a reputable naturopath that can help in dealing with trauma, stress and anxieties. These are alternative methods that worked for me, also prayer and meditation. I know I sound like a weird hippie but I can tell a million stories about how fish oil helped my moods and anxieties. Hormones play a big role in our behavior, emotion and response, so people should look into these alternatives.
Your mother is now in your future, rejoicing and can hardly wait to see you again soon. Release her into His Loving Hands. Believe me, she doesn't want to be back. Blessings
“How do you choose joy when your heart is being shattered into pieces?”--all I can think of is finally, someone understands what it’s like to be depressed. Whether it’s for 4 weeks or 40 years. This is what depression is. Not knowing how to choose joy when our hearts are shattered. Seems like Rick found a way, it’s possible.
I too struggle with what I call suicidal depression just like Matthew. I too have lived with mental illness all of my life and unless a person has serious depression, they have no idea what it's like to live in hell day to day. Yes, finally someone understands what it's like to live with debilitating depression and tell about it. Rick Warren watched his son, Matthew, commit suicide because the pain of extreme depression is so great, it is incomprehensible unless one has this type of debilitating and unrelenting depression. Thank you Rick for talking openly about Matthew's depression. You are helping people by doing so. We are not alone. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States.
6 years ago, the testimony of you and your wife made such a huge difference for me while I was mourning a loss. Everything, even unbearable pain, has a purpose
I did overcome depression by a book about identity in Jesus Christ. It changed my life. I was heavy depressed. Didnt want to life anymore and now I feel good. It is possible. Please if you have depression read your bible, its part of who you are.

When my daughter was about 16 she says to me, "if life is this hard, why do I want another 70 years of it?" 😐 What do you say to that..? I told her you haven't even been through the good times yet. Having your own place, go on vacations, been in love, a parent. She's 21 now and in a very "good place" she's happy. I tell her how proud and impressed I am that she got herself through a very tough time. She's proud of herself and optimistic and has a desire to succeed in all facets of her life 🙏
@@deustaitan When you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior, he gives you a spiritual life and spiritual strengh to go through every situations. The Holy spirit will make you a victor, his living word will give you faith and hope for the future and you will not be desapointed ! I tell you the power of God is connected to his presence. All we have to do is to know him better and act on his word by faith
It doesn't matter what is happening around you always keep your eyes upon Jesus and what He Promised and don't be afraid no matter how tall the problems are in your life. No matter how strong the storms are in your life don't be afraid they will not crush you Jesus is Standing beside you holding you by your right hand and is telling you to stay calm and do not look around and do not be afraid, Jesus did not gave you spirit of fear, but Power, Love and Sound Mind. Even if you don't understand what is happened in your life or why life is getting so hard and stressful, Trust God and His Son Jesus and Surrender all of yourself to Holy Spirit Who is working in your life and in your broken heart 💔 Holy Spirit is working in your life and in your family 👪even when you don't see it. When you don't see the way from all the storms that are getting bigger and bigger in your life by surrounding you without letting to see Jesus, always remember even when you don't see Jesus Standing beside you because of the storms that are getting taller and bigger in your life, always remember Jesus is always been there and always will be there by your side, holding you by your right hand 😊❤💙
This was the best explanation I've ever heard about pain and suffering and pastor Rick gave the best answer a dad could give in a situation like this. Ultimately our children make their own choices.
The biggest impact we had on our neighbours was not by being kind, loving pastors but by watching us walk the pain of a family suicide with dependence and trust in a loving God.
My wife committed suicide after 46 years of marriage and 48 years together. No kids obviously no grandchildren! 11 months passed I needed this today sometimes it is so painful and lonlyness but God is good!
This word blessed me so much. Last year I lost my father by alcohol even after more than a decade praying and helping him to overcome addiction, the thought of being called and somebody saying to me he died happened. The process through the years and his death broke me in many ways but i began a process of healing and I think one day I will be able to bless many with what God has taught me and given me through this.
Years ago i read 2 of your books, excellence in the workplace and excellence in character. I applied every biblical principle in the workplace and in my life. I prospered so much in my life. Thank you for wisdom to have written those books. May God richly bless you and i am sure you have touched many lives.
The deeper the pain, the fewer the words. Amen. God bless you, Pastor Rick 🙏 ❤ thank you for being a voice for those who are struggling with mental health issues. You are a Godsend.

Am so thankful to have found this testimony! My daughter took her life 6 months ago. She struggled with depression and anxiety since her teenage years. It's a pain like no other and I never thought in a million years, that this would be my life.

The Ministry of Presence. I LOVE THIS. When my best friend miscarried at 7 months I HAD NO IDEA what to say or do. She just sobbed and I felt hopeless. I just held her and let her cry, I felt like I didn't do much but later she said she was happy I was just there. I sometimes underestimate the power of PRESENCE. love it.

I know how your son felt. I deal with depression on a daily basis. I try hard to inform others that mental illness and being clinically depressed can not be corrected by thinking better or even doing good things. It can help one catch a break but not for long. Some of us are still hanging on with hope. Suicide is a sign that the pain is unbearable. I have been in the hospital three times due to suicide. My pain is the witness of how I can help others push through. I always feel available to share my story because many people just need to feel relatable. This is very important. I totally agree. The deeper the pain, the fewer the words.
Don't let your pain overtake you. Plead The Blood Of Jesus Over Yourself ! Tell the Devil to Shut Up & Go in Jesus Holy Name. I was Delivered From Being Suicidal 4 years ago, I've been Free From those thoughts since. Glory To The Most High God
There is hope for you! Research ISAIAH SALDIVAR. Depression and suicide is not a "torn in the flesh!" God loves you and want to heal you completely. I have been delivered from this and you can too. Praying for you!
God bless you and your family Pastor Warren. My heart cries and prays for you as I know something of the pain you are describing. I lost my youngest brother to suicide 7 and 1/2 years ago. You speak volumes when you say that your greatest ministry and message comes from your greatest pain. I know that God has allowed me to go through the things I have gone through so that I can reach back and help others who are going through the same thing. Don't waste your pain. God is faithful. Keep pressing into HIM. Love, prayers and blessings. Kim Padgett
Bro Rick Warren..you are a blessing. I Taught Your PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE BOOK for Year 12 in my High School. A student later wrote in an Essay how the lessons helped her overcome Suicidal thoughts...Praise GOD! Many Thanks! God Bless!
Wow. So well said! I experienced that when my son as 16 year old who lost his dad as a 11year old could pray for a younger boy who just lost his father. God is good ALL the time!
Thank you Rick for being real and for reminding me of the purpose of pain. After all, Jesus suffered and died and His greatest pain has brought salvation and hope to the whole world from the beginning to the end!
Thanks for your sweet response, God has really been wonderful to us all, may his name be parise, you seem to be a God fearing person right 😃, that's amazing...by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there right 😃, have a blessed day out there 🙏....
Idk how this was recommended to me !! But it’s so crazy bc my brother took his life also. It’s very hard and unimaginable. Thank you pastor. Thank you lord! 🙏 RIP GILBERTO JR
Sad to be here again. Unfortunately I am going through this all over again. My brother in law took his life 2 days ago .😢 get help people please . Lookout for one another. God bless everyone.
This video popped up today as a random offer for viewing. Just want to say Thank You.... to God, to Rick Warren, and to TBN. How sobering, transparent, and honest. Yes, mental illness is found in most families, and is certainly exacerbated during the pandemic. Love steady Saints. Some are trapped within themselves. Be there whenever possible, never stop praying, and love steady. Again, thank you.
My mom suffers from bipolar disorder and she’s been having a bad episode for the past 6 months and it’s just me and her. I don’t know when healing is coming, I’m praying. It’s been so challenging but each day God gives me the grace to go on, to see it through His eyes. I make mistakes, I get angry, I doubt, I cry. This encouraged me so, knowing that Pastor Warren you can still encourage and stand and share through your heartbreak. We are not alone in our suffering, thank you for sharing 🙏🏽May God continue to comfort and heal you and your wife’s heart. May you continue to see miracles and your faith never fail. Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability ♥️
Praying for healing for your mom and for you for the strength and grace to keep going..you are so courageous and we all make mistakes so don’t be hard on yourself..you are a wonderful daughter and your mom is Blessed to have you. May God Bless abundantly!!
@Speaking the Truth Are you a Catholic? I just asked because I had never heard of the term spiritual Director till I became Catholic a couple of years ago. I have found praying the Rosary to be the most POWERFUL prayer practice I have ever encountered in my 16 years as a Christian, 14 as a Protestant and the last 2 as a Catholic. I have suffered a lot of mental attacks, horribly abusive childhood, co-dependency and was once diagnosed as bipolar, but there is no emotional pain I am feeling any day that I have not been able to alleviate with Rosary Prayer. It's astounding to me coming from my former background where I believed that Catholics didn't have the first clue about anything Christian. If anyone here is willing to try it I would highly recommend it. I don't want to offend anyone or start a Christian interfaith argument, just sharing my genuine experience hoping even one person might find relief from their intense suffering as I have. My heart goes out to everyone here who deals with almost unbearable pain everyday. The LORD bless you and keep you.🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️♥️♥️♥️

We also lost our Matthew to suicide on May 4, 2014. We also were in the driveway hugging each other, knowing what was beyond the door as we waited for police. Our son was a police officer, he was in a rocky marriage, he was in a bad place. He did have a counselor and could have called her at any time, or his parents at any time. There was too much hurt. The only way we have made it through is knowing where Matt is now, our circle of family and friends, and God taking us in his arms and sending small blessings our way about Matt or people getting in touch with us and telling us sweet memories about Matt. From the very beginning, I wanted us to be able to say anything we needed to say without judgement. Yes, this is one of the hardest things to go through as a parent, but it is also where God showed up in ways we never imagined!
Yes. YES. This is so true. In my experience, people run for the exit doors when you suffer a tragedy of this magnitude. You become a societal leper. If only we all had the resources offered to us that Rick Warren had. Trauma is very isolating and that makes it even harder to bear.
Small groups meet in most Churches. You need to find your sisters in Christ who stand with you during the times of hardship. They will come to your side and walk with you through it. Please find such a group ❤️
Try to reach out to your local churches and check if they have small groups that you can join. I believe they are more than happy to welcome you. My hisband and i have a small bible study group and we virtually meet every other Friday to draw strength from one another and study the bible and live the bible. We need to be in fellowship especially at this pandemic times.

So sorry for your pain and loss I’ve lost two sons Neither by choice one was murdered on heart problems Pain of a loss of a child is beyond words Taking each day as it comes staying close to Jesus Is way to survive My prayer is no one else has to face this pain but as you put it is True life is filled with bad things but one certainly the Lord never leaves us without comfort
😭😭😭 Powerful! "Your Greatest ministry is born from your deepest pain" use the pain to help others. It's a broken world! Let God use us to help people. I PRAY God will always be with us as promised, comfort all who need love and healing, give us understanding and help us become all He created us to be! Resist the lies of the enemy and HOLD FIRMLY to the Truth in God's Word. 🙏🏽❤

Thank you pastor Rick! Thank you for your testimony. I got your book the purpose driven life while I was in prison in Eritrea( considered one of the North Korea of Africa) I was in the worst place you can imagine. It turns out that one of the best time of my life. I felt the presence of God in the middle of of that all. Thank God for you and your family.
My uncle is a pastor & his son he raised walked in to his home & gave up his life in the basement of his home & it hurt everyone but still he carries the flame ❤

Honestly, this book ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ gave me the encouragement I needed to stay strong in raising my kids with Christian values, it’s comforting to know Im not alone on this journey
My child 15 just proclaimed she doesn't want God anymore.Im devastated and don't know how to approach it.
"The deeper the pain, the fewer words you use." Pastor Rick Warren
This thug collaborated with Jerry Falwell Sr. to charge all Liberty Students $7 for that book called Purposes Driven Life. I was working a minimum wage job and $7 was too much for me for the book I did not need. I was so broke and I could not afford $7 at that time. I requested the students account office to remove that $7 from my account but the refused. You are talking of somebody exploiting you at your lowest point. Chickens have come home to roost.
So true when my mom died, I didn't talk... I was eleven and everyone wanted me to get therapy because I was so quiet...they thought I was traumatized...but what could I say... I didn't know what to say...but thankfully the Lord met me where I am at and helps me each and every day, so grateful💞

almost 3 years ago, at almost 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of Chess. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one).
I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me.
The doctors said i’dnever get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life.
I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace.
I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse.
They blamed me for the abuse they did to me.
To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal.
Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them.
I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. All my cards have fallen down. I have nothing left. But out. I wanted out.
I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills.
But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me.
The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along.
He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart.
HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME .
Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I have a job and am totally healed , full of joy.
I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU
HE. LOVES. YOU.
God bless you bro....
Your story makes me want to cry. I’m so happy that Jesus saved you right on time. You are loved, brother, praise God!
Duet 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge & underneath are the everlasting arms. If God is for u who can be against u...I praise God for what He did in your life, what a wonderful testimony u have.
What a ministry you have to help others may God's grace and peace continue to help heal others
Praise God for revealing himself to you. What a great testimony. You are loved!!! Be blessed and be a blessing to others, that stuck in these dark places!!!
I had a troubled childhood, grew up depressed. There were times I had wished that I was not born into this world at all. Had I not found the love of Jesus Christ at the right time I wouldn't be here to watch this video today. The best treatment for extreme mental depression would be finding the love of jesus Christ ......
Yes
How dangerous it is to say people who commit suicide can go to heaven..
I was like you and also had mental problems
My parents were so successful like Rick
No one knew what was the problem in our family system
He is a human being
It is painful to go through those difficult times but don’t say that
Many People are being tempted to commit suicide
You are mislead people now..
Rick Warren has literally just said his son knew Jesus Christ, not everyone’s story is the same and not everyone’s path is easy.
People have empathy for a broken body, but very little for a broken mind. Thank you for sharing this painfull story and help people to understand that chronic depression is reall and thank you for sharing your story. Job’s friends understood the ministry for only one week. they kept quiet and then they blew it! Can soo relate to this

Sounds like a broken spirit and not a broken mind, demon possession.
amen
I believe that God has called me to minister to people who are struggling with mental health. Pray with me for strength and power as I embark on this journey.
May Holy Spirit work profoundly in you for this important ministry...in Jesus name. Amen.
May the Lord bless you and confirm you in this ministry.
This is a wonderful ministry to go into. Read the scriptures for guidance on it. God led me to ministry and has led me to deliverance. There a supernatural war going on and people are battling spiritual warfare. Suicide is on the rise and there is a spirit behind it. Look in the scriptures at the two people who killed themselves, the scriptures say they were taken over by Satan. King Saul was being tormented by familiar spirits. That allow us to know that depression is a spiritual attack from the enemy. Jesus tells is to cast out demons and not to be deceived. Claim.the blood of Jesus and know that through Jesus the enemy has to leave. God bless you !!
Sheeeeesh out here making the benchmark for your ministry for us all to witness!! May God bless you during your journey!! Thank you!!
So be it! In the name of Jesus 💌
I suffered from depression, drug addiction and eating disorders. The drugs made my depression so much worse. I finally turned my life over to God and let it be his will and not mine.
I know what deep depression feels like. I lost my 12yo daughter, Lana, on Feb 24, 2020. I can’t even choose joy when I wake up everyday with a broken and empty heart. I only manage to live day to day for my 14yo daughter, Jadyn who witnessed her sister get ran over by a truck. I long to be in the presence of our Lord, Jesus. Jesus... please come soon! 🙏🏼
🙇♀️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So sorry
Prayers for you and your healing journey-I’m so sorry for your loss. Lost my son almost 2 yrs ago-suicide.
The loss of a child is so very hard. You are not alone-please reach out.
I now run a grief group for parents that have lost a child-through my pain-I have helped so many-and it has helped me as well.
The pain gets better-I promise. But there is always an ache in your heart that comes up and the most unexpected times. It’s Mother’s Day and I have been crying all day. But I know-through my faith-I will push through.
You will too. Keep pushing, praying
I ask Holy Spirit to wrap his arms around me every night so I can sleep.
I’m so sorry Regina. Sending you and your daughter love.
I can’t imagine what you must feel and how Jayden must feel too. 🙏
This is rough. Faith doesn't deny reality. My youngest daughter struggles with depression. I know what he is talking about and my blood runs cold. Everyday I have to put her in Jesus' hands. The things she confesses to me are heartbreaking. I watched this transformation take my baby girl as she approached puberty. There was nothing I could do but watch her fall apart. Now she is 23. We just celebrated her birthday. Never stop praying for and loving your child. Ever! Trust God's grace. The cross was enough. This is our only hope and sanity and why people need Jesus.
soo agreed.I put both sons in God's hands. I know God loves them more. Mercy Me's, Even If, inspires me. Plus We DO NOT GO THROUGH ANY PAIN OR SUFFERING that can MATCH OR SURPASS WHAT CHRIST WENT THROUGH FOR US! Rather people want to recognize this or not. We are in a VERY REAL SPIRITUAL BATTLE. What enemy meant for evil God can use for our good n HIS GLORY. CHRIST is STILL coming back.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thomas davenport: your daughter has a demon and rick son had a demon of depression. You have get a deliverance buy a real pastor that has the power of the holy spirit. Its the only way wheither you believe in or not. Its demon oppression. Jesus is still alive and he can deliver her from the torment. Look up these guys and go to them and you will see uour daughter healed. VLAD SAVCHUK AND BOB LARSON! Its hard to say this but ricks son died because they dont believe in deliverance i could tell but his speech. But you can believe and girl your daughter freed please!
It’s a real suffering to watch our children go through such agonizing pain. I have two sons, one with mental illness since 17 and the other with severe anxiety both recovering from addictions; especially my younger son. Each and every day I pray for them, constantly. Such heartbreak, but I will never , ever give up. I continually trust in my Lord.
@@alg2250This is a damaging statement that brings an unnecessary burden. How dare you put those Spiritual burdens on another member of the body. Jesus' burden is light and yoke is easy and would never speak to His children the way you have.

@@jfender8023 Oh yes, make us feel guilty for our brain telling us to kill ourselves. Certainly not helping here. No. We who struggle with suicidal depression cry out to God, and we get no answer, Notta. God performs miracles, but he does not always answer the way we ask. God has not taken this life-threatening thorn from my flesh. Please know that God does not cure all. I cry out to Him knowing he hears me and I will be in Heaven someday. For now, I must suffer a horrible mental, spiritual, and physical hell life on this earth due to suicidal depression. Please don't quote Bible guilt to people who's brain is telling us to end our lives. That is of no help to me whatsoever.
@@jadegreenjade Your brain telling you to kill yourself ? Listen to your prayer to Satan
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Ask God to help you , pray in the name of Jesus the Christ
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
@@jfender8023 My prayer to satan (small s). Are you crazy? Must be. I'm only still here because I cry out to Father God daily. satan has no foothold here. My brain has been hit, traumatized to the point it no longer functions normally.
People like you who blame people like me for having serious physical brain abnormalities. TBI's, 58 stitches to my head from a violent car crash, electrocuted as a child, horrific bike accident (brain trauma), sexually abused/ptsd, beaten, tortured, given away. And more, but too private to discuss here.
So, please be quiet. My brain has been rewired from too many injuries. Football players, military veterans deal with TBI's, ptsd, serious brain injuries and some take their own lives because their brains no longer functions normally, why can't you get this through your head. I talk with God all the time, as the intrusive thoughts to kill myself daily play out in my head.
Pastor Rick said Matthew had told him that his pain was too great, his brain ruled his thought life. But, you don't get it, you'll never understand because you are not like Matthew, and you are not like me.
You don't struggle with Matthew's or my suicidal depression. So, you have no idea what you're talking about. Please stop preaching, harassing me. You do not suffer from suicidal depression. Do you. No. So please stop blaming me for my brain's intrusive thoughts to kill myself. Stop telling me about satan/lucifer. I talk with God as intrusive thoughts tell me to kill myself. You have NO idea what you're talking about. Not a clue.
It's people like you who guilt people like me into going ahead and killing myself. So, I will not answer you again. You do NOT struggle with suicidal depression like Matthew did, like I do now, or you wouldn't be repetitively blaming me and my spiritual life (you probably blame Matthew too) for these rote crazy-making deadly daily thoughts.
Please stop harassing me on youtube. I feel like you are stalking me on youtube. Please stop.

My thoughts and prayers.
Wow! I’m so sorry!! 🌷
So sorry for your loss. Praying 🙏🏾🙏🏾
My sympathy to you.
So sorry to hear, must be a hard time for you... May you find peace and hope in the name of Jesus. God is close to the broken hearted. ❤️
My son committed suicide on February 22nd, 2021. His Birthday would have been yesterday. He would have been 41. I am so sad.
I have a group of people surrounding me. I do not know what I would do without them, to this day, Mother’s Day, 2021.
He was loved for all he had done over his life in helping others too. I am still in shock, but also pain. I try to suit up and show up for the most part, but honestly it’s going to be awhile longer before I’m strong enough to help anyone with the kind of strength shown here. I will someday, but till then I’m just trying to be with God in solitude, and writing what God gives me to do.
I am so so sorry for the loss of your son. 😥
God bless you. Praying for your journey and that you find peace.
@@brightmeadow820 Thank you. His death has affected our grandchildren, his family and friends. It is devastating.
@@chitayslas4221 Thank you for your prayers. Our grandchildren are are very sad, as are other family members and his dear friends.

Hello Katie 😊🥰🥰
Brother Warren, I lost my 24-year-old daughter to suicide. This has been over 2 years ago. I have never experienced anything as painful in all my life. May God continue to carry you and your wife daily. My wife and I have never been the same. We also hold on to the grace of God. The words God has given you in this short video are precious and meaningful. I hope everyone who has been touched by this type tragedy can take away: you are not alone, and God’s grace will empower you to not waste your one drop of your pain. I write all this with great humility.
My sister committed suicide in 2014. All I know about suicide is that it's the most tragic death to get over for those who knew that person, let alone the parents. May God's love enfold you.
I’m so sorry to read this 😢 I’m sorry for your pain. May you find peace. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Chickens have come home to roost.

I love the phrase “show up and shut up”. So many people worry that they don’t know what to say or do when someone experiences a tragedy. That phrase confirms that you can just be present with someone, and that’s enough.
May Almighty God bless you I don't know you in person but God knows you. God showed to me a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding on to them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford to these motherless foundation (DIVINE MERCY ORPHANAGE HOME FOUNDATION) in Edo State Nigeria, before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact where ever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

@@pastorrickwarren9874 I have been to your profile and there is nothing that would indicate that you are really Pastor Rick Warren. Pretending to be someone else would be deceit and that would be sin. I also think I saw a similar, maybe even the same, message as reply to another person. Jesus said it's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God. Repent before it's too late.
“Your greatest ministry will come out of your deepest pain.” ....oooo that hit
My father was born blind. His life is the testimony of how to manage your life to the glory of God. He is the most wonderful man of God. His story, is for God’s glory. God’s story is my dad’s glory.
Rene, thank you for posting this. It really touched my heart and lifted my spirits.
Hello Rene, there should be an interview with your daddy about his life! Please get in contact with a christian TH-camr you trust! :-)
My dad became blind because of his sinful life before Christ, afterwards he came to the Lord and he could literally see the spiritual world even though he couldn't physically see, my mom and dad were used to healing and demonic deliverance.

If you have ever experienced deep depression, there is nothing you want more than for the pain to stop and if that means going home to the Lord, you pray for that. It’s no different than having a broken bone that stays broken, except it’s your brain. Love to you and your family.

@@kennymarker4245, wow! Your ignorance regarding clinical depression is astounding!
Yup. This describes what it felt like for me in 2020-2021 where my younger sister had a personal issue that dragged the whole damn family in. Counting me, when I was doing lots of personal work, too. During that time period, I really wished to be put down either by God in my sleep, or through a person.
My Niece Amy struggled with depression & ultimately finally took her own life. My sister & husband were crushed,& devastated. I thank God your testimony helped them. My wife Marianna now to has had a nervous breakdown due to Pandemic & recent situations & needs a miracle from God, please pray for my wife.
I pray God meet your wife in a special way where she will find peace that surpasses all understanding.
I pray for your wife that the right hand of God be upon your wife now in Jesus Name. May God's peace envelope her total being in Jesus Name. May God give you the wisdom to help her out in JESUS NAME. Thank you Jesus for answering our prayers.

No he isn't There is no afterlife. when you die, that's it. Heaven and hell violates the laws of physics. Dude is worm food.
When I read that his son committed suicide I cried. I asked myself how do a parent get over this? I had a discussion with my son who just turned 18 years old and daughter who was 10 years old and told them whatever happens to you remember that I'm here for you no matter how hard you feel your life is. I love you unconditionally ❤. Yes we all go thru hardship but GOD IS MERCIFUL AND HIS GRACE IS AMAZING. 🙏

I'm in pain every day. stuck in what feels like emotional quicksand. My passion for life is nonexistent rt now. I can't imagine ever feeling well again. Everything hurts.
When I wake up reality rushes back into my mind and heart.
I know my lord and my faith is strong .I couldn't go through this without his comfort .
I lost my son 3 months ago. Joey was 26. I found him in the morning and held him as I prayed and cried. It was diabetes related we believe... still don't know for sure.
I miss his voice ,his face ,his way , his intelligence, his love, I miss being whole. I miss talking to him, his attitude, his laugh , I miss my baby boy .
I miss being who I was.
I know one day I'll be reunited with him.
I can't wait 🙏

Dear Pastor Rick,
2:30am here in Tsv Australia I am listening to your testimony repeatedly. What you have just shared really lifted my heart, *The deeper the pain the fewer words we use*. I lost my 16 year old son through suicide. I found him myself. I prayed this way, Lord please have mercy upon me. Anyway long story short, he stayed another 3 more days in ICU and passed on. I pleaded to our Father in Heaven, nothing happened. My last words were, Lord I asked but You did not give me my son back - But I will still follow and serve You. It was that very moment my life shifted. I truly believe and know there is nothing that takes God by surprise. He is God and He change NOT. He is still sitted on His Throne AMEN 🙏. I pray God's Divine Healing, Favour and Excellence upon your Ministry and it is in Jesus Name I pray AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
Amen. God bless both your souls in Jesus name. I'm sorry for your loss! May your pain be used for God's Glory!
I am so sorry,I have whispered a prayer for you,even broken trees still bear fruits
As a believer who struggles with all these things..this was so powerful
Lord Jesus I pray for healing amongst the misunderstood and troubled in this fallen world and God bless extraordinary Christian leaders like Rick Warren 🙏
I lost a brother to suicide in 2013. His statement: show up and shut up was spot on. I had one person who did just that. There are no words necessary because no words can ease that deep pain.

What Rick is saying about the deeper the pain, the fewer words to use…sooo right. It’s your presence that people value. There are few if any words that help during unimaginable pain.
When I lost my mom to cancer, after already losing my dad of a sudden death, those who just hugged me and cried with me gave me the most comfort. The most heartbreaking thing was well meaning people,and yet clueless, who would tell me “at least she’s in a better place and not suffering”.

I pray that my son is covered by the blood of Jesus. I try to converse with him about different things, but he don't really open up to me. I feel that he is holding a lot of pain, hurt, disappointment, fear, anger, and un-forgiveness inside of him. I see videos like this, and it make me concern. I know how TH-cam work, and they use algorithms. But I don't think something like this pop up by accident. So, I pray that he will be alright in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen.
Praying for your son Ladenna. Don't allow fear to creep into you
As a parent GOD listens to ya prayers over ya son. I have used Psalms 138:7-8 and the blood of JESUS to detach my son's soul from every evil altar and have seen my son open up and is all jolly in the house, praise b to GOD. So don't give up keep praying and stay positive
I agree with this prayer,

Yes.. i agree Rick. God spoke to me vocally “i have a purpose for your pain.”...God knows how deep my pain is...I’ve longed to be free of this pain but I’m becoming grateful for it. Ive struggled with metal health..terrible things happened to me before i was 2 then after i was adopted. I want to embrace my pain..please pray for me so i can partner with God in my pain and use it to bring souls to His heart forever.
This touched me so deeply. My best friend i grew up with took her own life on August 5 2020 and it's been such a hard time, I've been a Christian all my life but this event took alot out of me because I've had so many tragic events in my life and I know the Lord is always with me but this event hit me hard , I'm in a state of emotional numbness from these attacks on my life since I was born . I know my Savior Jesus is always with me I'll never deny that but I just can't wait to get out of this wilderness. I pray for the healing of everyone who's ever lossed a loved one to suicide my heart is with you!
I’m sorry for your loss. My best friend too took his life on August 7th 2018 and my life turned upside down. I know your feeling to my very core. I pray for you and your healing.
My heart goes out to Pastor Warren and all families affected by suicide. My 29 year old sister took her own life almost 30 years ago, after a life long battle with bipolar disorder. In that moment, I lost the best friend I will ever have. The shock and pain have lessened over the years, but I still feel so sad that she missed out on all the joy life has to offer. Watching her 2 children grow and achieve advanced degrees. The permanence of suicide is what is so hard to accept.
You're totally right ...

Rev Rick Warren,
Mathew, your son, is living a beautiful, amazing life with our Lord!
Mathew's Ministry is not over, the Lord is going to use him in a mighty way!
Mathew is looking forward to seeing you arrive at heaven, but wants you to stay on earth as long as the Lord wants you here to complete your assignments, you and your most precious wife, Mrs Rick Warren.
We love you dearly, studied two of your books in Seminary.
My husband is a Pastor of a Spanish, American Baptist Church.
We call it a Seed Church, obviously due to it's size.
I feel that Mathew sowed his own life to The Lord, and for that he will be greatly rewarded.

Hello Leah😊
Been through losing my only son. My only blood child only through the power and love of our Jesus Christ and savour. That is what kept going on
That’s why deliverance ministry is needed
"How do u choose joy when your heart is broken to million pieces?"
You guys are to be so excited your in so much pain because where there's a lot of pain there's a lot of reason for God manifest in your life, Read your bibles about what Jesus already did for you what he has said about you and believe in your hearts that Pain is only there to gain revelation of wisdom of healing that you would have never had if it wasn't for the pain and it grows your testimony of reasons to believe the next time someone asks, why do you believe what you believe...
My husband just died today, he’s my best friend, my soulmate, the love of my life. He’s the best man I know. How can I choose joy?
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry for your loss. It will take time, counseling, surrounding yourself with loved ones. I’ll pray for you and your family!! 😢🙏🏻
You don't have to. You can't choose joy. People who lost loved ones need to go through GRIEF period. You need to process all emotions good/bad to go up emotional scale. If you are JOY instead of MOURN then you are a crazy wife.
I am so sorry for your loss! I feel your pain. And cannot began to imagine what you are going through. Yet I can relate. My Mom suffered 25 days after a botched surgery. It is almost 8 months since she died and that we were denied a post mortem, 7 months since the faulty coffin that made her coffin fall when being lowered...life is hard...
...but God is my source of strength. He is with me comforting me...I call upon Him..i continually cry my heart out to Him, esp when I think about my Mom (who could not see) ALONE with those medical people who knew what they were doing would hurt her kidney....
May GOD comfort and strengthen you in this storm and complete shift of life! Call upon God even more...Psalm 34 says He us close to the brokenhearted.
Let yourself be vulnerable...grief needs its own time...has its own brain-but don't allow grief to overcome you! Remember Gratitude for the time you had with your precious husband and life partner. Keep gratitude for what God has done for you in calling you out of darkness and see him walk with you and deliver you from the worst of this. God is Faithful! God blesses you and is with you in this valley! ❤

I am so sorry 😔
My condolences to you my sister. May God grant you comfort, peace, and acceptance the way He can only give.
So heartbreaking..this is why DELIVERANCE MINISTRY needs to be revived in the church! Jesus has given us power over the enemy.
I totally agree. I’m wondering why he doesn’t mention that. Torment of the mind is not from God. It’s totally demonic. The Bible says “I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” They needed a deliverance to happen in this situation. So sad.😢
Absolutely. People are scared to entertain the thought that when Jesus commanded us to cast out demons, that he meant literally that.
Thank you. Seriously this is what thr church needs.
True
As christian god has given us authority to bind this evil spirit of suicide and we must rebuke them in the name of jesus god has promised us to give us victory over satan and demons we will trample on serpents and scorpions and nothing will harm us jesus on the cross has accomplished for us the church of god
I just want to say, if this might help. I've had depression all my life, and what helped me is seeing a naturopath, who advised me to change my nutrition because so many chemicals are in the food we eat that it affects our overall health, especially our hormones. We overlook that factor but it's not all mental, it's mostly physical and nutrition. Praying for everyone who is battling with this illness.
Youre so right..
Good nutrition heals so many things
It’s so much to do with diet and exercise. Study after study shows how exercise is more effective that benzodiazepines.
People have gone on diets that require eating food just as God made it and they’ve cured their cancer! Diet is HUGE, and instead pills are pushed on us and they don’t actually cure us.
Mediterranean diet. Exercise. Sunlight. Sleep. And stay calm and trust in the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
@@prh. I'm not an expert but if anyone has been feeling extremely sad and afraid due to trauma, it is best to seek help from a reputable naturopath that can help in dealing with trauma, stress and anxieties. These are alternative methods that worked for me, also prayer and meditation. I know I sound like a weird hippie but I can tell a million stories about how fish oil helped my moods and anxieties. Hormones play a big role in our behavior, emotion and response, so people should look into these alternatives.
Today I lose my mother, am here because I need some encouraging words, help me lord
Your mother is now in your future, rejoicing and can hardly wait to see you again soon.
Release her into His Loving Hands.
Believe me, she doesn't want to be back.
Blessings
“How do you choose joy when your heart is being shattered into pieces?”--all I can think of is finally, someone understands what it’s like to be depressed. Whether it’s for 4 weeks or 40 years. This is what depression is. Not knowing how to choose joy when our hearts are shattered. Seems like Rick found a way, it’s possible.
I too struggle with what I call suicidal depression just like Matthew. I too have lived with mental illness all of my life and unless a person has serious depression, they have no idea what it's like to live in hell day to day. Yes, finally someone understands what it's like to live with debilitating depression and tell about it. Rick Warren watched his son, Matthew, commit suicide because the pain of extreme depression is so great, it is incomprehensible unless one has this type of debilitating and unrelenting depression. Thank you Rick for talking openly about Matthew's depression. You are helping people by doing so. We are not alone. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States.
6 years ago, the testimony of you and your wife made such a huge difference for me while I was mourning a loss. Everything, even unbearable pain, has a purpose
I did overcome depression by a book about identity in Jesus Christ. It changed my life. I was heavy depressed. Didnt want to life anymore and now I feel good. It is possible. Please if you have depression read your bible, its part of who you are.
Please would you share the title of the book, and the author? Thank you.
You guys are to be so excited your in so much pain because where there's a lot of pain there's a lot of reason for God manifest in your life, Read your bibles about what Jesus already did for you what he has said about you and believe in your hearts that Pain is only there to gain revelation of wisdom of healing that you would have never had if it wasn't for the pain and it grows your testimony of reasons to believe the next time someone asks, why do you believe what you believe...

Baie dankie Anton
When my daughter was about 16 she says to me, "if life is this hard, why do I want another 70 years of it?" 😐 What do you say to that..? I told her you haven't even been through the good times yet. Having your own place, go on vacations, been in love, a parent. She's 21 now and in a very "good place" she's happy. I tell her how proud and impressed I am that she got herself through a very tough time. She's proud of herself and optimistic and has a desire to succeed in all facets of her life 🙏
The thing is that a good life isn’t guaranteed for anyone, and to be quite honest, sometimes i ask that very same question myself.

When you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior, he gives you a spiritual life and spiritual strengh to go through every situations. The Holy spirit will make you a victor, his living word will give you faith and hope for the future and you will not be desapointed ! I tell you the power of God is connected to his presence.
All we have to do is to know him better and act on his word by faith
It doesn't matter what is happening around you always keep your eyes upon Jesus and what He Promised and don't be afraid no matter how tall the problems are in your life.
No matter how strong the storms are in your life don't be afraid they will not crush you Jesus is Standing beside you holding you by your right hand and is telling you to stay calm and do not look around and do not be afraid, Jesus did not gave you spirit of fear, but Power, Love and Sound Mind.
Even if you don't understand what is happened in your life or why life is getting so hard and stressful, Trust God and His Son Jesus and Surrender all of yourself to Holy Spirit Who is working in your life and in your broken heart 💔
Holy Spirit is working in your life and in your family 👪even when you don't see it.
When you don't see the way from all the storms that are getting bigger and bigger in your life by surrounding you without letting to see Jesus, always remember even when you don't see Jesus Standing beside you because of the storms that are getting taller and bigger in your life, always remember Jesus is always been there and always will be there by your side, holding you by your right hand 😊❤💙
Our greatest witness is how we handle pain. ~Pastor Rick Warren 💯 FACTS!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
💕In God's garden of grace, even a broken tree can bear fruit.💕
This was the best explanation I've ever heard about pain and suffering and pastor Rick gave the best answer a dad could give in a situation like this. Ultimately our children make their own choices.

The biggest impact we had on our neighbours was not by being kind, loving pastors but by watching us walk the pain of a family suicide with dependence and trust in a loving God.
Greatest witness to the world is how we handle our pain not how we handle good times.
Rick Warren
My wife committed suicide after 46 years of marriage and 48 years together. No kids obviously no grandchildren! 11 months passed I needed this today sometimes it is so painful and lonlyness but God is good!
Sending you love
So sorry for your loss. God is with you . He will help you through this time in your life. He is close to the broken hearted.
So very sorry for your loss Tom. I can't imagine it. 🙁
So very sorry. That is so heavy.
This word blessed me so much. Last year I lost my father by alcohol even after more than a decade praying and helping him to overcome addiction, the thought of being called and somebody saying to me he died happened. The process through the years and his death broke me in many ways but i began a process of healing and I think one day I will be able to bless many with what God has taught me and given me through this.
We lost our son to suicide 2/9/18.....worst day of our lives. Bless you.
Years ago i read 2 of your books, excellence in the workplace and excellence in character. I applied every biblical principle in the workplace and in my life. I prospered so much in my life. Thank you for wisdom to have written those books. May God richly bless you and i am sure you have touched many lives.
The deeper the pain, the fewer the words. Amen.
God bless you, Pastor Rick 🙏 ❤ thank you for being a voice for those who are struggling with mental health issues. You are a Godsend.

Am so thankful to have found this testimony! My daughter took her life 6 months ago. She struggled with depression and anxiety since her teenage years. It's a pain like no other and I never thought in a million years, that this would be my life.
CH Spurgeon struggled all his life with depression. It is a difficult monster to tame. May the Lord richly bless you and give you peace.
I had no idea! He was a wonderful preacher.

Calvinists have no joy.
The Ministry of Presence. I LOVE THIS. When my best friend miscarried at 7 months I HAD NO IDEA what to say or do. She just sobbed and I felt hopeless. I just held her and let her cry, I felt like I didn't do much but later she said she was happy I was just there. I sometimes underestimate the power of PRESENCE. love it.
Thanks Brittany!

I felt this one
Thanks for sharing your testimony, it certainly helped me to live with my husband suicide. The words "don't waste your pain" struck me deeply.
@Cynthia James, look up Ascension Presents video "Mercy After Suicide" by Father Chris Alar. It will heal you.
“The deeper the pain, the fewer words you use; “Ministry of presence””. That’s good advice.
I know how your son felt. I deal with depression on a daily basis. I try hard to inform others that mental illness and being clinically depressed can not be corrected by thinking better or even doing good things. It can help one catch a break but not for long. Some of us are still hanging on with hope. Suicide is a sign that the pain is unbearable. I have been in the hospital three times due to suicide. My pain is the witness of how I can help others push through. I always feel available to share my story because many people just need to feel relatable. This is very important.
I totally agree. The deeper the pain, the fewer the words.
Don't let your pain overtake you.
Plead The Blood Of Jesus Over Yourself !
Tell the Devil to Shut Up & Go in Jesus Holy Name.
I was Delivered From Being Suicidal 4 years ago, I've been Free From those thoughts since. Glory To The Most High God
There is hope for you! Research ISAIAH SALDIVAR. Depression and suicide is not a "torn in the flesh!" God loves you and want to heal you completely. I have been delivered from this and you can too. Praying for you!
Praying for you 🙏🏾🤍
Praying and believing you encounter the fullness of the Holy Spirit to bring you peace and strength in your inner man
@@matasaina2011 Thanks a lot. I greatly appreciate your kindness. I pray and meditate as well as many of the other recommendations.
God bless you and your family Pastor Warren. My heart cries and prays for you as I know something of the pain you are describing. I lost my youngest brother to suicide 7 and 1/2 years ago. You speak volumes when you say that your greatest ministry and message comes from your greatest pain. I know that God has allowed me to go through the things I have gone through so that I can reach back and help others who are going through the same thing. Don't waste your pain. God is faithful. Keep pressing into HIM. Love, prayers and blessings. Kim Padgett
Bro Rick Warren..you are a blessing. I Taught Your PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE BOOK
for Year 12 in my High School. A student later wrote in an Essay how the lessons helped her overcome Suicidal thoughts...Praise GOD!
Many Thanks!
God Bless!
Wow. So well said! I experienced that when my son as 16 year old who lost his dad as a 11year old could pray for a younger boy who just lost his father. God is good ALL the time!
Thank you Rick for being real and for reminding me of the purpose of pain. After all, Jesus suffered and died and His greatest pain has brought salvation and hope to the whole world from the beginning to the end!
'In God's garden of grace even broken trees bear fruit- and we're all broken.' This is it.
This guy's speaks wisdom which are more precious than gold and silver.
The deeper the pain the fewer words you use.....that’s deep. Ministry of presence...show up and shut up. So profound

Sad to be here again. Unfortunately I am going through this all over again. My brother in law took his life 2 days ago .😢 get help people please . Lookout for one another. God bless everyone.
This video popped up today as a random offer for viewing. Just want to say Thank You.... to God, to Rick Warren, and to TBN. How sobering, transparent, and honest. Yes, mental illness is found in most families, and is certainly exacerbated during the pandemic. Love steady Saints. Some are trapped within themselves. Be there whenever possible, never stop praying, and love steady. Again, thank you.
My mom suffers from bipolar disorder and she’s been having a bad episode for the past 6 months and it’s just me and her. I don’t know when healing is coming, I’m praying. It’s been so challenging but each day God gives me the grace to go on, to see it through His eyes. I make mistakes, I get angry, I doubt, I cry. This encouraged me so, knowing that Pastor Warren you can still encourage and stand and share through your heartbreak. We are not alone in our suffering, thank you for sharing 🙏🏽May God continue to comfort and heal you and your wife’s heart. May you continue to see miracles and your faith never fail. Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability ♥️
Praying for healing for your mom and for you for the strength and grace to keep going..you are so courageous and we all make mistakes so don’t be hard on yourself..you are a wonderful daughter and your mom is Blessed to have you. May God Bless abundantly!!
@@dd3596 Amen thank you so much for this encouragement. God bless you!
@Speaking the Truth Thank you!
@EDDY A Thank you so much God bless you
@Speaking the Truth Are you a Catholic? I just asked because I had never heard of the term spiritual Director till I became Catholic a couple of years ago. I have found praying the Rosary to be the most POWERFUL prayer practice I have ever encountered in my 16 years as a Christian, 14 as a Protestant and the last 2 as a Catholic. I have suffered a lot of mental attacks, horribly abusive childhood, co-dependency and was once diagnosed as bipolar, but there is no emotional pain I am feeling any day that I have not been able to alleviate with Rosary Prayer. It's astounding to me coming from my former background where I believed that Catholics didn't have the first clue about anything Christian.
If anyone here is willing to try it I would highly recommend it. I don't want to offend anyone or start a Christian interfaith argument, just sharing my genuine experience hoping even one person might find relief from their intense suffering as I have. My heart goes out to everyone here who deals with almost unbearable pain everyday.
The LORD bless you and keep you.🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️♥️♥️♥️
This is heartbreaking yet at the same time powerful...thank you, to also everyone in the comment section, for sharing your stories.
Job’s friends sat with him seven days and seven nights without saying a word.
I love this. You're right. But it's sad to say that when they opened their mouth, everything went bad. :(
Except to order a takeaway - perhaps??
Yo quit comparing JOB to this heretic teacher.

We also lost our Matthew to suicide on May 4, 2014. We also were in the driveway hugging each other, knowing what was beyond the door as we waited for police. Our son was a police officer, he was in a rocky marriage, he was in a bad place. He did have a counselor and could have called her at any time, or his parents at any time. There was too much hurt. The only way we have made it through is knowing where Matt is now, our circle of family and friends, and God taking us in his arms and sending small blessings our way about Matt or people getting in touch with us and telling us sweet memories about Matt. From the very beginning, I wanted us to be able to say anything we needed to say without judgement. Yes, this is one of the hardest things to go through as a parent, but it is also where God showed up in ways we never imagined!
❤I am so sorry about your loss. Your strength is amazing. May God continue to hold you in His loving arms.
Hello Carol 😊
"The deeper the pain the fewer words you Use" So true Pastor Rick Warren.😇
There's a lot of us with no 'small group' or 'buddies.' We go through terrible times alone ...
Yes. YES. This is so true. In my experience, people run for the exit doors when you suffer a tragedy of this magnitude. You become a societal leper.
If only we all had the resources offered to us that Rick Warren had.
Trauma is very isolating and that makes it even harder to bear.
You are never alone when Jesus is your best friend.
Small groups meet in most Churches. You need to find your sisters in Christ who stand with you during the times of hardship. They will come to your side and walk with you through it. Please find such a group ❤️
Try to reach out to your local churches and check if they have small groups that you can join. I believe they are more than happy to welcome you. My hisband and i have a small bible study group and we virtually meet every other Friday to draw strength from one another and study the bible and live the bible. We need to be in fellowship especially at this pandemic times.

So sorry for your pain and loss
I’ve lost two sons
Neither by choice one was murdered on heart problems
Pain of a loss of a child is beyond words
Taking each day as it comes staying close to Jesus
Is way to survive
My prayer is no one else has to face this pain but as you put it is
True life is filled with bad things but one certainly the Lord never leaves us without comfort
😭😭😭 Powerful! "Your Greatest ministry is born from your deepest pain" use the pain to help others. It's a broken world! Let God use us to help people. I PRAY God will always be with us as promised, comfort all who need love and healing, give us understanding and help us become all He created us to be! Resist the lies of the enemy and HOLD FIRMLY to the Truth in God's Word. 🙏🏽❤
Oh Lord when words can't not explain LISTEN TO OUR HEART ❤️
How are you doing 😊☺️☺️🙈

Thank you pastor Rick! Thank you for your testimony. I got your book the purpose driven life while I was in prison in Eritrea( considered one of the North Korea of Africa) I was in the worst place you can imagine. It turns out that one of the best time of my life. I felt the presence of God in the middle of of that all. Thank God for you and your family.
