With a 5 yr old living with me every other week and a 12yr old and 14yr old living with me full time. Believing God for a woman to marry and have a good mother figure for my children. It's been tough believing God for this and partially because of my attitude which I am working on.

I am in tears as I listen to this message. I am going through one of the darkest times in my life. This is exactly what I needed to hear today. I have the book at home and can't wait to go home and read it. Thank you Pastor Groeschel!!!
I so needed this!!!!! Thank you Jesus Christ for putting the “real” message in Habakkuk and using Pastor Craig to deliver it in such an AMAZING message!! It’s so nice to not feel alone in the wrestling seasons!
my parents are divorced so i can’t make it to life church every week. only every other week. but i do go to church every Sunday. but i’m very happy that i can watch this :) i love going to Wednesday church as well!
Pastor Craig Groeschel, we love you, and we’re sorry we can’t be there with you to support you. We have been praying for you. I can guarantee that I have been, at least. Thank you for serving the Lord. It means more than words can describe. We love you, Pastor Craig. Keep on truckin’. God bless you sir.
I went through a very horrible trying time when I lost a baby. It was my total hearts desire to have one more baby and when that good news hit me that we were pregnant again I was elated! Long story short I had to wrestle with my faith and trust in God that he's still good even when my situation isn't good. I'm coming out stronger than when I went in. It's nothing I would ever choose to go through because it was horrible during the time of grief. But I'm thankful that God is good and he has healed my heart and is bringing me to a new elevation in him. I don't know what the future holds but he promised that it will be good! I am thankful for what I have. Don't give up in the first chapter.

Oh my Lord 😭 this is so real and raw. Thank you for being vulnerable Pastor Graig. I can't wait to read this book. You are touching lives around the world....from Kenya🇰🇪
This sermon comes in the perfect moment, my faith almost go away, thanks for share with true love and passion the gospel and an authentic word, is just amazing. Thanks. God bless you.
My husband has been dealing with ankylosis spondylitis for more than five years. It has been extremely hard for the both of us, but especially for him.I have faith in god that one day he will heal him. I know that my husband does too but sometimes he looses hope. I can’t wait for him to watch this sermon. I would love to purchase the book once it comes out for him.
I've been facing alot of downfall , I've been heart broken in one of the worst ways , my life seems to be on a pause and nothing seems to get me out of this depression out of heart break and my struggle from temptation. The word brought tears .... I'm not turning away from chapter one . Please keep me in prayers . ❣️
I'm recovering from surgery, therefore not able to work for the next 30 days and I've currently been recovering from surgery for over 20 days. I've been lonely I've been feeling like there was no purpose for me, and I've been struggling financially. I've been feeling so angry at God because I've been faithful to him and generous towards people yet I do I feel like that God has been providing me with what I need, in fact my prayer over the past 20 days has paying for god to just end my life so I can stop suffering.
Dear God, I lift up Marc up to you. You know exactly what their situation is. I ask that you would be their provider. I ask for their needs to be met. God, I ask for wisdom and discernment for their financial situation. Please grant them the tools needed to face these challenges. In Jesus' name, Amen Thank you opening up about the depression you’re facing right now. We want you to know that we’re here for you. If your symptoms are getting in the way of daily functioning in the areas of work, sleep, health, or other parts of your life, it’s best to talk to your doctor or a professional counselor. Contacting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 can also be a great place to start.
Salvation/faith is like a marriage. You must "work" at it. Anything worth doing in life takes work. Work isn't a bad thing. It's a proactive thing. Don't be lazy in your faith.
This spoke to me so very much as i am wrestling questioning. I want to keep the faith i want to embrace but it can be so very difficult with my marriage in trouble. I have M.E finiacial problems and being tempted away from Christ. I am torn and i dont want to be.
I recently got divorced. I am at the bottom of my life. I have been praying to Jesus and getting close to him. Accepting God and surrender my life to him. I have my ups and down.. when it's down its deeper. Contemplated suicide once and still thinking about it. I need God more than ever... I need him more than ever. Listening to this gives me a little comfort..help me be strong. I have lost everything.. including my children who I love so much. The shame and guilt I have caused it's unbearable. Help me in your prayer. I pray for those who are in my situation or worse... We only have God as our strength.
Praying for you! WAIT on the Lord, I had to for a very long time while struggling severely mentally. YOU CAN DO IT, because Christ is strengthening you! The time is NEAR! Thank you for opening up about the depression you’re facing right now. We also want you to know that we’re here for you.

Been struggling with some serious manic depression lately and life is just a shit show in general for many reasons so I'm watching this (while eating an entire large pizza by myself) in the hopes to get something in my head that not negative. I hope this helps
I've had a lifetime of pain, abuse and suffering, partly brought on myself and partly not my fault. I've asked 'Why?' so many times over the years...just too many terrible situations that make absolutely no sense. The last straw for me was watching my sister slowly kill herself by anorexia for 10 years. She was constantly in and out of the hospital, psych wards, and eventually having to have a tube put into her stomach for her to pour fluid into, because she wouldn't even put food in her mouth. I asked God one morning - WHY DONT YOU JUST HEAL HER?!?!?!? About 5 minutes later, I got a call saying she was dead and had committed suicide. At this point, I don't ask God why anymore. Things are so beyond my comprehension, that I have no choice at all but to TRUST GOD.
Question..... The Bible tells us that if we ask for healing and we believe we are healed and visualise the healing, we will be healed. Can someone explain?
Hi Sharon Brereton! We would love to get you connected with one of our pastors to talk with you about this! If you are interested, please let us know by filling out this form -- go2.lc/pctalk
I'm sorry, but I DISAGREE. Jesus our savior never question His Father God. He was fulfilling a prophesy in Psalm 22, which is a prayer. Before His death He was saying Psalm 22, so everyone listening, would get a revelation on who, they just killed.
I caught that too..But he did say if it we're possible let this cup pass from me. Matt 26:39 Yes he went willing to the cross but in the garden he did question..Not my will but your will father be done.
@@lisajordan8502 the cup he was talking about was the absence of the Father. Our savior knew that he was about to become sin, and Jesus who had a perfect relationship with The Father was about to be in the absence of The Father. The disciples went to the cross singing hymns and song, and they were no where near the man Jesus was. Jesus ask the Father if their was any other way, but if not, then he would go to the cross on his own, without the Father.
i would disagree! What Jesus was saying was, Father if their is any other way, that we can save these sinners, let me know, but if not, then I will die for them.
“From noon to three, the whole earth was dark. Around mid-afternoon Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, “ Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? ” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?””
Thank you for preaching God’s word!! Uplifting and truth!! Trusting and believing in God’s word!!
What a message, even years later.
