Pastor Mike, I love how you share Job! Lol when I read God asking Job "where were you? Were you there when I...?", as Job shrinking and shrinking down to the tiniest size. If you ever saw the Flintstones when Fred goes before his company's board, each time they spoke, he shrunk tinier and tinier. Lol The good news is God is saying this in the most loving, compassionate, merciful way, just because that is Who He is! ❤ Thank You Heavenly Father for your mercies that are new every morning! Knowing we are mere humans, prone to error, in our humanness. Just the way You made us! We love You! ❤
I've learned that in the middle of the storm we can't see much more than a few inches in front of us. When the storm passes a few hours, days, weeks, months, however long the interval may be we see that Jesus was and is with us. He said that He will not leave or forsake us. I am reminded of that fact again. Five years ago tomorrow my mom went to be with the Lord and I walked out of the hospital and drove home. I look back on that now and see the Lord with me all the way and when I got home His presence filled the house. He is still here and I am grateful. God is good!!
Thank you. GODBLESS FROM MINNESOTA. I JUST ASKED WHY LAST NIGHT WITH A SERIOUS QUESTION WITHIN MY LIFE. THE BOOK OF JOB AND THE MESSAGE GIVEN THROUGH YOUR MINISTRY AND THE PASTOR NOVOTNY GIVEN THE MESSAGE HAS PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE. THANK YOU. AMEN. PEACE AND GRACE BE WITH YOU. 🙏
I still love Jesus even though I have fallen on hard times. God is in control. I know I must keep faith. I’m, trying desperately to support my two autistic children, my sons require a lot from me because they are also non verbal. I’m a single mother my husband passed away unexpectedly years ago. I lost my job at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I have heart disease and I suffer from lupus that’s the major reason why I declined the vaccine. I’m waitressing and I’m thankful but I’m not making enough to make ends meet. I’m still having difficulty putting groceries in my refrigerator, and paying bills. Every month is a struggle, to not end up on the streets with my children. I’m starting to wonder why am I here? What is my purpose? But even as I have questions and even though I struggle! I STILL PRAISE GOD! THANK YOU JESUS! I KNOW God will provide. HE HAS THIS FAR! I don’t want pity, just prayers. Please pray for me and my boys. I’m choosing FAITH OR FEAR!
When God doesn't answer, it means WAIT! So, wait on Him-on His will and His timing, for His glory!!! He will bless your trust in Him and your increased dependence on Him!!!
I am hurting so much. lost my house, lost my wife of 25yrs. she's moved my only son 110miles away, I suffer from CFS now and feel like Jesus isn't listening to me. please Lord Jesus answer my cries. catch my tears. take this pain. 🙏🙏🙏
Jon he hears you trust me.... Been in your shoes.... Isolated... Alone .. devastated.... It takes extreme patience and some endurance... But he answers you
I am sorrowed to hear you are going through such pain and unexpected, unwanted changes, and the grief of losing the life you once had. It is common for us to feel God isn't near when difficulties come, but the opposite is truth: "He is near the broken-hearted and saves those crushed in spirit". He is nearer than ever when we do go through sadness, brokenness, pain. And Jesus promised He is always with us: "I will be with you always, even to the end of this world". Keep praying and take things moment by moment. Maybe you can find other brothers in Christ who have gone through the same thing and see how they've made it through. And God says He is love and He is the God of comforts, so I pray you feel the love and comfort from Him. Keeping you in prayer - Patti
As the Psalmist said in Psalm 46 let that be your comfort and hope because the Lord has seen it all heard your groaning, the pain the hurt and in His own time will give you an answer take the tears away and put a beautiful smile on your face. Stand firm in the Lord and let your Faith take control over your fears and worries for He is than able to change your situation 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jon, in one of the lowest times of my life the Lord gave me this message in the form of a card I got through the mail, Isaiah 41: 10 it helped me, may it give you peace as well. You are not alone, my friend!
Yes this is where I am,😢 Why US/Her, I lost my Child age 18, only daughter child for 16 years( I have a 2 year old son now) She was just a freshman at UC, her and her roommate was hit in a crosswalk on campus from a teen 17 year old driver whom stole a car! 😢her roommate survived but my daughter unfortunately didn’t survive her injuries! A parent worst nightmare! I don’t understand why God! So much pain 😭😭😭💔💔💔
Peggy may be right. God is not your servant, to pop up answers every time He is asked. The woman who prayed for a husband cannot expect one to arrive within the next 10 minutes. And you need to learn how to listen. You are not on a "royal telephone." There is a saying: "Love, even the love of God, is always mediated through persons." My first thought was another aspect of the same thing: don't ask God to do something you could easily do yourself; be like the nun who does her one inch. But that has risks. Abraham and Sarah thought they would "help God" by bringing a son into the world. That son was Ishmael.
Comfort and compansinnship, in HIS word AND THANK YOU PASTORS, TIME OF GRACE listening to your words!
, in HIS word and from you pastors
My pain brings me to God.
Amen, blessings

Pray for our home,second mortgage has me now owing twice what I make,,,,,pray for a miracle I have no money for mortgage payments this week,,,
Yes this is where I am,😢
Why US/Her,
I lost my Child age 18, only daughter child for 16 years( I have a 2 year old son now)
She was just a freshman at UC, her and her roommate was hit in a crosswalk on campus from a teen 17 year old driver whom stole a car! 😢her roommate survived but my daughter unfortunately didn’t survive her injuries! A parent worst nightmare!
I don’t understand why God!
So much pain 😭😭😭💔💔💔
The fall of Adam and Eve…That’s why.
The answer is everlasting life and no more pain and sickness or death.
