I lost 2 babies by miscarriage some 40 years ago and in August this year I lost my 40 year old son. Listening to your program made me realize I've lost all 3 of my children now,they're all in heaven. It also made me realize that I didn't really grieve the first 2. My husband is in Long Term Care.
Please pray for total healing in my heart and that God will reveal His will for me in this season.
God bless you all at Better Together ❤️
Praying the Lord strengthens and comforts you by the power of His Spirit in ways you never imagined Ms. Betty❤🕊🦅🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

What Jackie explained as her prenatal depression experience is EXACTLY how I felt during my postpartum phase. I knew I didn't want to kill myself but man I just wanted to die and be done with what I was feeling. So much anguish, resentment, self disappointment and lonliness were my emotions. But he brought me out one day when His spirit led me to a park where an evangelist was waiting for me and saved me from the drowning I was experiencing. He was always there. I just needed to get to the other side to see Him reveal his Glory to me. Girrrl...God is Good!!
Amen amen amen!!!
❤❤❤
Same here,,,,so much vulnerability
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison , where I got to know Jesus. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (Zoe), and a stream of income that gets me $15,000 monthly. Plus a new identity - a child of God. Hallelujah!!!
Glory!!!🥳🎉🙌
Your testimony leaves me with tears and joy. I had my cousin in prison too but he never made it out for one reason or the other. He passed. Wish he could have this testimony too
The scriptures clearly state, and when he lifted our captivity we were like men who dreamed... I'm happy for you pal. God remains faithful
God in his own time makes everything beautiful. No matter what you've lost or what seems broken he is able to restore. Praise be to Jesus for all he's done through his servant Anne Mayfield Jones

Habakkuk - entire book((easy read))
We are allowed to reason with God.
We are allowed to question God.
We are allowed to go back and forth woth God as we work out our issues or understanding.
We are allowed ... it's a relationship ❤and He loves us for it ❤
He understands our frailties. It does seem that God still rebuked Job for asking why. I always had a hard time w/ the book of Job for that reason. It's so human and such a reflex when things go terrible to wonder why it has to be so hard.
I’m asking God to see me today while I’m alone, separated from a church family , while my husband has been in intensive care, since the day after Thanksgiving. I’m trying to do this walk with God .im trying so hard to understand if I’m saved because satan continues to put in “neon lights..my failures. I’m trying hard to hear Gods voice
I was also abused severely and have been triggered by another nurse who causes extreme stress. She was harassing me about smoking and shamed me. Then, it caused me to feel like I can't think straight. I turned to the Lord and I felt alone and he wasn't with me and then I found this board cast and now I understand we I felt better. I know she triggers me, and then I trailed spin. I was asking for his help, but I was suffering an anxiety attack. I need to find confidence in myself and not to feel like I don't have the Lord with me. I understand better and my personal relationship is good. I want to continue to with God.
My dad got a stroke in 2019 then another last October leaving him imobile. I've lost my dad yet he's still alive. My finances are on the floor. I'm barely making ends meet. I'm desperate. And all I think is why Lord. Was told never to question God but this taught me so much.
❤❤❤
I pray that God hears you concerning your finances and gives you more than you need. Father Lord, I pray that you remember your child and move on their behalf, meet every financial obligation, and ease their stress and pain. Lord, I pray for healing for their dad. Father, you said ask, and you shall receive, I am asking on behalf of your child. Give them a testimony, Lord, show them your goodness. I thank you in advance for their testimony, amen.
This statement my heart resonated with completely…”it’s not that I want to kill myself, it’s just I don’t want to be alive”
I understand this completely….I don’t want to kill myself, but I don’t want to be alive. I can’t say how many times I’ve said this to God, begged Him to please take me home…
So grateful to be given hope, to know that I am not the only one who struggles with this, and to be reminded the goodness of God.
That’s called despair. I’ve been there sister. He will bring you through.
❤❤❤
This is me now. I would never harm myself, but I no longer desire this place. I've cared for others all my life. At 49, I don't have anything left. I'm exhausted and I'm ready.
Thank you, ladies, for this. My mother always told me never questioned God and that wad it. So I'm thankful for this video because not only did you let me know that it's okay to ask, but you also gave me scriptures to go back and read for myself to know what is true.
I love these women so much and I’m so grateful to them for sharing their life with me
Thank you for this! I’ve just gone through a miscarriage. The third one. This was the one message that met me where I’m at. Thank you! God bless you all and multiply with JOY what you have shared from your own experiences with pain. Thank you. Thank you. God bless you.
Hugs

Grieving with God is a gift. 😭🙏❤
Hello Danika, I was in a search of a very good friend that bears a similar name with you, so i found you coincidentally. I was attracted by your profile.. Sorry for barging into your privacy...
My goodness .... as my lips quiver and I hold back the river of tears I am about to let flow I thank our loving God for interseading in my life today with this conversation 🥺 this hit on every single emotion I have been feeling for a very long time and I have felt so alone and so misunderstood and confused as I try and walk my life out with Jesus by my side and sometimes the struggle is so raw and real BUT God answered a prayer of mine today through these beautiful sisters of mine and I just wanted to say THANK YOU and I truly am greatful for Better Together and all God is doing through these ladies and this program and I feel a true and raw sense of Hope again and I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for helping me see more clearly and for giving me the wisdom I need to carry on another day ... week ... month and year! This community is truly life changing! 🙌 Glory to God!!!!
Thank you for sharing
❤❤❤
I am currently stranded. Trying to get a place to move into and it feels like all doors have been shut. I have until the end of this month to get a place. My heart is so heavy and I am tired but I will keep trusting in the Lord 😢.
In my weakness He is strong ❤
It's so difficult when we are facing a terrifying situation. Sometimes I feel like God is hanging by the ankles over a high building, and asking, "Do you trust me?" I pray this situation gets resolved for you and you have a home to live in.
This was so needed. I’ve had miscarriage 2 and 3 since June and have not had the chance to grieve and it’s hitting me all at once. Been constantly asking God why and He seems so quiet. Continuing to pray and try to focus on Him but it’s hard.
❤❤❤
We can always ask The Lord "why". Scriptures are full of God wanting us to get understanding, His Wisdom, knowing what to do to make the absolute best Scriptural godly decisions. Asking why is apart of seeking God out, knowing Him, understanding His Ways, etc. He wants to work through everything in our lives to build us into the people He's created us to be. If we never know the answers to the "why's" then we never gain understanding to grow & mature through the process.
I have to believe that God put this where I would find it today. I’m struggling and need to find a way to keep going. Thank you ladies 🙏
I am in this season now, it's very painful to ask why did this happen. Thank you all for saying it's ok to grieve and ask.
That was me tonight. Thank you so much for your prayer... I needed it so much!
I, was expecting My 2nd Grandchild as My Daughter was Seven Months Pregnant when the Doc. didn't find a Heart Beat. My Daughter had to deliver My Seven Month old Baby who was a Stillborn. This was the heardest thing I have ever had to deal with.
❤❤❤
Hear my cry 😢
❤❤❤
Ladies, I have heard it said that God knows what you need and when you need it! This segment was so good and needed! I too grew up in an error that told us “never” question God! So I have always tried to adhere to that rule, at the same time desperately wanting to go deeper with God by being honest with what was in my heart. This segment teaches that we should read the Bible for ourselves and not rely on the words of others. Thank you 🙏🏾. Please do a part II, I know there is more that can be shared on this topic to help many people in their time of lament. Blessings to each of you! 49:26
I feel this whole heartily but in a different kind of way. I do feel called to talk about it more. I have a 12 year old special needs daughter that is completely handicapped and is wheelchair bound, feeding tube fed, non verbal all of it. And I’ve only recently found God a few years ago who has since given me all I’ve wanted with a husband and two children who actually call me mama, but I still go through times of sadness because I often mourn who she could be. So sometimes I want to remind ppl that God could have been protecting them from the heartache that I have. Because caring for a child that sometimes seems soulless means taking care of the body, but continuing to mourn the actual person they should have been. Then watching them suffer and suffering with them because leaving the house with them isn’t an easy task. So the lives others get, I sometimes find myself judging and going do you know how good you have it? You get to leave the house when you want to, you get to go on vacations and you get to go to events and attractions sooo easily. I don’t mean to but I also want to remind ppl how blessed they are and how much Jesus has done for them! Because they have the ability to do so much more!
@tisha,God bless you and thank you for sharing. I just want to applaud you for your strength and patience for caring for your beautiful child,God allow her to have a mother like you for a reason,because you are full with compassion.That’s not my issue,but I will tell you that I had a turbulent childhood where I’ve had to experience things no child should have,not to mention God wouldn’t release me from a loveless,emotionally less marriage of 24yrs.However I remember at first when I started watching Better Together and I was saying to myself in a very condescending way,,,,, look at those women up there with their hair dos and they nice clothes and they happy family,,,,,thinking how can they even sympathize with me,and God heard me and allow me to hear some of their stories where they was going through so much.I guess some of them just hides it well,,,,,,we ALL-have our bitter cup to drink from just like Jesus said,also remember we are living in a fallen world.But I do understand exactly where you coming from,because I can’t imagine the frustration that you go through day after day,but just thank God for giving you the strength and the grace to take care of that beauty child and take it one day at a time.I’m always crying out to God,then I read the Psalms and put on some worship music and I just start thanking God for his goodness,and I can actually feel a heavy spirit lifting.I wish you all the best and I pray that God Himself will enlighten you and fill you with joy and peace.
❤❤❤
I can't imagine how hard it must be. It is so hard when you see what other people have and you have to live w/ the lack that you have. The only way to fight that is w/ gratitude though. It does not take away from your suffering and your child's suffering to focus more on that you have 3 children and a loving husband. We don't all get to have a loving husband and some of us like myself don't get to have kids. I wish you would have gotten to have it all as well. It's a difficult world, and we have to muddle through as best we can. Every day is a sacrifice for many of us. God bless. You child will have her perfect body one day, and not have all the limitations she has now. I wonder if there is a program to teach your child to communicate through some means, that so you at least have communication. There is methods out there now for what seemed like non verbal people.
Thank you for sharing.... Praying for GOD's strength and comfort to you and your family.
Into me see. Intimacy so much food for thought and soul. One word,,,vulnerability and honesty. I cried and cried with this from you ladies. Thank you
What a wonderful message! Thank you Lisa! I can’t wait to see you at Life Church Sunday night! ❤❤❤🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You guys are very special. If you only knew what I’m going through. God does. Bless you.
❤❤❤
Thank you for giving me permission to be authentic about my pain. It's real. I'm real. And as I was weeping while watching I suddenly burst out laughing..there really was joy in my lamenting. Thank you ladies. Thank you Abba daddy. My daddy too. I love you all . Amen and Amen. Love Barbara ❤️
❤❤❤
That's what Joni Eareckson always says. That in her deep pain, lamenting to God about how hard it is and how she needs strength yet again, that she finds the comforting presence of God. I've been praying for that for a long time too, and hope I experience that again soon.
May God intervene in my life because I am experiencing evil attacks
Your closing prayer meant the world to me
Thank you 😢
This was so powerful! I am so empowered to trust the process in my lament. Thank you ladies!
Ladies thank you so much for having these conversations. I always learn so much from you women. I’ve been dodging my feelings for a long time because I too don’t want to get stuck there. But I’m miserable and a serious Jesus follower. God help me.
Yes, yes, yes!! I've said it for YEARS!!! I'm SO thankful and glad to have heard it stated here. We're taught, from a young age, not to question God and not to ask Him "why". It's always nagged at me....and begs to question, "WHY NOT?" Jesus gave us an example, as He hung on the cross. Jesus, the Son, asked God, the Father, "Why..." So, then, why can't we ask our Heavenly Father the same question? I'm not questioning His deity. I'm questioning this path; this journey. He cares to answer that question and engage us in dialogue. Fall at His feet and let Him answer your whys. He's got you!
May the Lord Bless each of you for your vulnerability. It’s so important for us not to deny the Lord in our pain and suffering. It’s a full surrender, humble honesty that God wants to inhabit. He is close to the broken-hearted and comforts us in our sorrow. when we are vulnerable enough to be honest with Him about our emotions. He can enter in it with us and comfort us with no condescension. God is not displeased by our human experience. He wants to draw us closer during those times and speak tenderly to us while we heal with Him. ❤🙏
He’s such a good Father.
This so speaks to where I am in this current season if my life. Thank you all for sharing! ❤
This is hitting me in all the feels and so necessary to acknowledge. Thank you God for healing and for your presence.
GOD cares enough about us that HE dialogues with us 🙌.
This was so good!!! I have been in a season just recently where I have questioned God. Love this conversation! God bless you ladies.
Love how open and honest everyone was. Love this ❤
Wow that prayer was for me. Thank you. Always get so much when I watch anything that Lisa is in. Thank you that you gave me permission to feel my sadness and that it doesn’t make me bad. Amen 🙏 💜😇🤗 Thank you so much for all the ladies information and stories. Glory 🙌🌈
Awesome thank you
Hello ladies you have me tearing up. I thought I cried this much because of my menopause, but listening to the conversations I’m hearing so much of me in everyone of you.
Thank you so profound 🙏🙏💗💕
❤❤❤
IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY AMEN AMEN AND AMEN HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH ✝️🙌🕊💯🔝♥️
🙌🏾HALLELUJAH 🙌🏾
Love Jesus ❤ HE is with you. ALWAYS
I love you all. Im grateful for you❤
Gid speaking to me. Just today i made a prayer with questions then wondered if it was ok. Shows how much God loves us.
Thank you now I believe that I can pray better and different because I was told not to ask why and for that I didn’t understand
If you ask God why, there is only answer that you can get. It will only come if God tells you the worst thing that would happen if nothing bad ever did.
Lovely! Thank you, ladies 🙌💕
Praying for those who dnt wana wake another day ..the prayer I have tears rolling down my cheeks all CHOKED up. That's both me and my daughter but she's almost bedrid and needs help cuza pain and her schizophrenia meds are starting to fail hera lil.

Thank you beautiful women of God for your words of wisdom and thruth and righteousnes my heart was truly blessed

I am truly enjoying your new format…the extra study depth and length. Thankyou
Amen thank you lord❤
This segment was eye-opening and freeing for me. I was always taught that you’re not supposed to question God because He’s sovereign and in control. Thank you all for having the conversation. @Jackie Hill Perry hit the nail on the head.
This is so good. So much insight "Take off my emotional spanks" And "I relate to not wanting to kill myself ,but not wanting to be alive " God hears us so go ahead and ask.🙏🏾✝️
Yep loved this session and found you all very REAL. thank you. Jan
Thank you woman of faith. So needed to hear this. " blessed" 🙏
Ohhh I waited for God.. and then he answers my prayer through this discussion.
I am so weary. I am praying for my prodigal of my son and his family. I love you all! Prayer all. I know now I have realize I can cry but weeping is ok
I love this so so much!! Thank you God for these ladies and their wisdom and knowledge that they impart upon us.
May God heal me yesterday when I was bathing. i felt something pumping inside my head ,my left side
Sometimes I do not have the words to ask. Why
All Glory to God. AMEN AMEN
I love this!!
Heartfelt beautiful prayer
No more pretense with God he knows everything anyway.
Thank you for your closing prayer. I didn't realize how much I needed it. Thank you ❤️
That was so so good this minister to me so much I was taught that you don’t question God now there were definitely times I would, but I also felt like I was wrong and doing so this message freed me today

Am one person who has alot of questions to ask God but have that little voice within me saying it's wrong to ask God question or to ask why this is happening but listening to this today am really blessed and thankful that I have learnt alot.thank you Jesus and thank you all because ever since I came across this channel am learning new things everyday 🙏
balance in greatfulness and lamenting...the chambers of the heart..
Soooo great needed it today i felt like a bad Christian feeling fear!! I still trust and praise just soooo sad thank You ladies so much
Thank you so much for this episode. It was just what I needed. God bless all these wonderful ladies!
This was posted 3 months ago but so appropriate fore roght now today❤. Thank you!!!
Man 🥺this was soo good.
This was such a beautiful sharing of the beauty of God.
I think that sometimes we hold onto our pain. Maybe because we’re ashamed or maybe because we don’t think it’s ‘painful’ enough to share. But I’m learning that through our testimony; through our recognizing that Jesus Himself questioned God, even knowing the answer…we can’t heal until we fully come to Him. We have to give it to Him (no matter how we categorize it in the flesh) and let Him answer.
Yes, “let’s not curate our prayer life”. He is here for us always, in always. AMEN ✝️💗🙏🏾
Follow your God and you will meet him and you will also need to worry for yourself bse you will have to go thru the same judge
i feel really down and out and dont know what to do im so tired. and i dont have language as she says to bring me out of this situation.
I know that feeling. He is there even in your lack of words. My situation feels the hopeless… grief is a monster… but casting this heaviness on Jesus is my only way out
❤❤❤
Emotionally Gaurded - Thank You i recognize that as how ive been . naming it recognize you were dicribing how ihad lived my life such an eye opener This honest conversation is a reality check ✔️ many of us feeling same we not alone in our experience of life or feelings, THANK You Ladies for Sharing raw ,Honest experiences So so Helpful Blessing to you ...
Good morning
💓💓💓
oh Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, let me know you more deeply though the pain and the shame, oh bless the Lord Oh my soul.
Love the video! Does anyone know the name of the woman in the blue/purple button up shirt?
I been getting comfort from Jeremiah29:11 but I been having doubts lately because that was written to them God never said it was for me so now I been feeling hopeless😥 😢
❤❤❤
I Guess Gods words are for everyone
Amen! God asked His prophet to them questions too. He asked Job a list of question?
Lisa i should not question god as i would be disrespecting him ive got to love my father in heaven i am to trust and obey the god that created me with a purpose i love being used by god
