    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 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.

    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'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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @markfolse4759
      @markfolse4759 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@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.

      “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?””
