I spent 37 and a half years feeling the same way, and at the onset of that era I prayed, "Lord, please don't let me die before showing me how I got it all so wrong." That answer came in two simple words: "Follow Me." How could it take so many years to be able to hear something so seemingly simple? Because there were so many areas of fear, selfishness and defiance that I refused to own then, and it's taken that many years for those things to be exposed so I can finally surrender them to God. What I thought years ago was, "all of me," was actually, "basically 'all' of me, except ________." I'm not a stereotypical Defiant type personality, but the deeper reality of that word is in choosing our way, or our fears, or anything that we cannot truly surrender completely to Him. All of this life, as a believer, is an unfolding series of moments that boil down to Surrender vs Unbelief. I know, I know ... I didn't use "defiance" in that equation. That's because unbelief is choosing to not trust God; once we know something belongs to Him, all decisions to not fully surrender that to Him is basically an act of defiance. But I digress. Follow Him. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
I'm down in the gutter I need you GOD I need you to open my eyes and see how much I have hurt my family I need you GOD To show me wake me up GOD and help me give me the strength to stay away from all this lies and sin and heart ache I have put my family threw I'm going to put you in front on me GOD please show me the way make my faith stronger GOD I Love you GOD please open my eyes so I can see you
Me too. God's got us covered even when we mess up. I had it all too and messed up big time. Be Still. I'm recovering and trusting God, God doesn't condemn us, He loves us unconditionally. The devil is the accuser but God gives us all a chance to start over and over and over and over......................again!
@@annec988 Same greatly deceived badly and wasn't warring. Just sifted and feel sick. Why would God allow this I wasn't anything like that and back into worst foolishness. Deceived and tricked. Lost everything. I didn't have to get this way
@@TriciaRP Hi Trisha, it' hard to admit how foolish we can be, as another preacher called it 'stupid on steroids', that's how I wake up most days, sick to my stomach and knowing it is all my fault, not Gods, all that I just threw away because if I had waited for my anxiety to pass and trusted God I would not be in this mess that has not only affected me. I repeatedly ask God to forgive me even though I know he has and that has to be a pride thing on my part too proud to forgive myself. I wish I could shake it off but I am trusting in God that He will in his own time. The sick feeling is always within me, day and night. How could I have been so stupid? so selfish? So lost that I didn't seek God's guidnce? but I know from previous darkest times he has brought me from that God wants me to trust Him more than I trust me, 'cos quite frankly I realise now I can't trust me, and that's a hard lesson to learn after never made such a big mistake because of stupid me. My self esteem is at an all time low. Stay Strong in Christ Trisha. I'm trying but perhaps trying is pride too, when I should just surrender completely in trust. Jesus I surrender it all to you, my broken mess. God Bless us all xx
Dear god, I feel so alone and lost in life. Since I haven’t been in touch with you I haven’t felt the same. Please guide my heart back to become a better Christian. Thank you lord. I love you!❤️
I NEED TO LIVE FOR GOD,I HAVNT FELT SO LOST/END OF MY ROPE IN MY LIFE. STRUGGLING WITH MY ADDICTIONS ALCOHOL,MARIJHAUNA,TABACCO,AND PORN.I KNOW SUICIDE ISNT THE ANSWER
Sin is the absolute worst thing that’s ever happened to any of us in this world I pray God has mercy on you me and everybody going through these trials you’re definitely in my thoughts
Suicide is never the answer I beg of you hang in there my brother chose suicide and the rippling effect of his actions still hurts, God loves you and misses you, his arms are open wide run to him! I pray for you ❤
I pray that the Lord has ministered to your heart. Suicide is definitely not the answer. My heart is with you. I understand that struggle but there is hope! 😔🙏🏽💛
So what if I been Baptists but backsliding & struggle with sin in my heart I want the lord & do the will of our father but when temptation comes i fall
I'm basically not willing to stay alive to do certain things until certain conditions are met. I'm pretty sure God won't do it and if I'm not willing to keep going and He's not willing to help and give me mercy what's the point.
You guys are right down the street from me in LIVONIA, is this a sign? I've been contemplating/struggling with getting my relationship back with Christ. And to answer the question it isn't working out for me
very good message and very good intention. but I hope he lessens the I-I-iii..iii, the..the.the.the….., be be bebecause, sisi sisi sisin….. and the likes.
I feel so lost right now. All I want is to find my way back to God. I need him. I love him
