In my hardest place of loss and just reading psalm 30 and 31 and crying out to the lord. This came up on my feed . It was a conformation for me to keep speaking truth into this valley of pain . I will praise him even here. Thank you for sharing God Bless
Craft fun forever...I speak the healing Name of Jesus over you. He will give you beauty for ashes and restore to you the years the locust has stolen. Be still and know that I am God of EVERY circumstance, Amen 🙏
What helped me overcome was realizing that Jesus doesn't owe me anything. He was loving enough to die for my sins so I wouldn't have to face eternity burning in hell so I can be with Him. We owe Him.
@@KirkCameronTBN you were a role model for me when I was a kid, Mike. Love ya, brother. See you at the rapture, when ever it is (I don't know when it is and don't care because my hope is in Jesus, not a rapture, whether it be pre, mid, or post).
This is one of the most inspiring messages- Jesus gave thanks before the cross- Very inspirational - awesome message- I always start my day when each foot hits the ground out of bed- first words are two Thank You- immediate message to God for the night and the day
I also saw my sister, Brenda, die. I was just 3 and she was 20 months old. It's been 56 years and I still see that sight and grief for her. She was my best friend. I'm going to start a Grateful Journal. Thank you for this kind and awesome message.
When my Mom passed away from an overdose and dad unexpectedly passed away 2 weeks later, I was so surprised that thanking God despite my grief brought me immediate peace. Looking forward to reading your book. Thanks for the conversation.
Caryssa Christian and Neil Brennan, I'm so sorry to hear of both of your traumatic losses. May God draw near and comfort you wherever you are in your grief jouneys and remove the trauma. Blessings to each of you.
Wow.....thank you for sharing how GOD yet comforted you...some times in tragedy it can appear like how could God possibly comfort someone who has experienced such trauma
Thank you 🙏 God for everything in my life. I am not perfect, not the slightest, I am a sinner and battle a troubled heart and mind day to day. Though during these times we are experiencing tribulations of all sorts, I’m reminded of this beautiful world and it’s good people. I’m reminded that there is much more then meets the eye and I pray and hope that one day, that I may indeed enter into your glorious house and be beside you, as I declare Jesus to be my Lord & Savior. I’m not happy with my thoughts and actions that go against your wishes and expectations & and it is these that I regret the most. I struggle, yet I Look up into the sky and am reminded of you. Knowing that you are with me, watching me, and will always be there for me when I need you the most. I love ❤️ You and I thank you for all, and I pray over others that you show them mercy and guide them as you have done for me. It’s your son’s name Jesus, I pray Amen.
Joy is a choice and because of what Jesus has done we can choose joy everyday no matter what happens. The byproduct of joy is happiness. You are never alone if you have Jesus in your heart ❤️.
I’m so sorry you suffered in such pain. Thank you for sharing with us. I need to start this. We love you in the Lord. Thank you Kirk for your ministry.
Several years ago Istarted writing my journey journal. This is filled with my walk with the Lord through highs and lows, good times and bad. It contains prayers and answered prayers. I want my children and grandchildren to know that being a Christian is a relationship with our creator and Savior.
I am so grateful for the sitcoms I grew up with...I had to keep a diary cause I didn't have a computer, so that I could become a Dr at 16 like Doogie Howser, Charles in Charge and growing pains were 2 very special blessings God blessed me with to balance the "trinity" I would need to prepare me for the second coming...Mike Seaver, Douglas Howser, and Charles [...] did charles have a last name on that show??? 🤔 ... In college, my dreams of being doogie were shattered, along with any chance of getting into harvard or yale like my parents hoped...I am so grateful for my guidance counselor helping me break the news to my mother by asking me if i can throw a football 70 yards? I said 🤷♂️ my parents told me to study when I asked if I could try out for hs football? Then he told my mother unless they were willing to "donate a wing" to yale or Harvard...it would be very difficult for me to be accepted solely on my GPA... So CU Boulder is where I went and ditched my diary, which I regret trashing...but when I was bit by the comedy...and kneeled down and prayed to God to be with me when I tell my parents I want to be a comedian 🙏 yada yada yada...having a reason to get get a diary, or a 'joke journal" according to the idiots guide to comedy writing book My younger brother got me for my birthday that inspired me to write a joke thinking well if i get called dumb I can agree all the books I have read are specifically for idiots and dummies.. when my friend Andrea suggested I try writing as if it was meant to be read so I wouldnt worry so much about people reading my diary...I told her No, but I will try, and its not a diary, its my joke book ...and realized she was reading my diary while I was cooking dinner haha Another friend, years later left me a book called a conversation with God... that inspired me to start reading the BIBLE...and then a wonderful christian woman came into my life. She brought me to discipleship but when she told me That book ''conversation with god. should be burned blasphemy and false... and only the holy bible is the absolute truth...yada yada yada she told me she wants to marry a good Christian man...I told her I will always be a Good Man...and a DISCIPLE, which if she attended classes with me, she would know that the difference between a good Christian man and a FISHER OF MEN...she told me she is grateful for the time we shared together and drove away... I really had to sit down and look at the man in the mirror for some closure... A week later, the book, she said should be burned, was left in my mailbox...i took it as closure...and put the book out of sight and out of mind for months...4 months later I saw the book again and chuckled and just flipped through i and thats when I found a 4 page single spaced double sided typed letter was tucked inside..y
Very humbling! It’s showing me how self-centered I have become. Thank you for sharing matters that are so important in the midst of all of the shallow issues that seem to plague me.
I lived with a family who had a Thank You Jesus Jar, where they would drop written thanks throughout the year, and read them at Thanksgiving. I took the idea and created a Thank You Jesus journal..Yea, in the midst of all the craziness, it's good to be remiunded how the Lord remains faithful and gives GRACE. I never thought of it as a way that SHOWS how God loves me. That was helpful..as I've been in a difficult, dark season this past year and 1/2. I still write, Thank You Jesus. In another interview, Mark Lowery said, "look for the diamonds".
I fully endorse the practice of gratitude. After the 2nd time I read Anne's book I followed her example of practising gratitude. I am at almost 3,500 entries (4 books). Gratitude does get one through most difficult of circumstances, focusing on God's goodness regardless 🇨🇦
Wow. Ann’s interview was a year ago but so glad I came upon this. Thank you Ann for being obedient to God and His faithfulness is on you face and your life. I am saving this short interview. Thank you Kirk & Ann
Her books are amazing. Her style of writing and putting words and thoughts to a page are unique and a blessing from God. If you haven’t read “A Thousand Gifts” I highly recommend it.
Awesome message. We are God's precious creation for we were created in the image of God. No robot or man-made creations can replace that. And that's what we should be grateful and thankful for everyday of our lives. Amen! Hallelujah!
Gratitude and thanksgiving are amazing things. Gods word says rejoice in the Lord always. Consider it all joy. Give thanks always for all things. How is that possible. The simple answer is this. In the Lord there is ALWAYS something to rejoice about. Its about a perspective that looks past what is right in front of us. For the joy set before him Christ endured the cross. If we understand Romans 8:28 then we can give thanks in all circumstances because we trust the God of the end results. God bless you for your ministry!
What helped me overcome was realizing that Jesus doesn't owe me anything. He was loving enough to die for my sins so I wouldn't have to face eternity burning in hell so I can be with Him. We owe Him.
Dear Canada sweetie, I understand the depth of pain we carry! You are certainly not alone! Life can be so hard! But if I can impose, can you think of one thing to be thankful for? Sometimes, one thing can break the ice! I'm praying for you! 💞
God bless you, Sister in Christ. I thank God for your bravery. Thank you for sharing. Some people need to hear that they are not alone in their pain. I'm sure someone can relate. Thank you for sharing what God has used in your life to bring healing and peace. Thank you.
The other day after hearing the charges read on Maxwell hearing, I started circling MY "WHY DO CHILDREN SUFFER IF GOD IS SUCH A LOVING FATHER". Since I was sexually abused by my adoptive father from 5 to 13 I struggle with my FAITH. Until I remember that ABUSE led me to marrying at 14 ( parents willingly signed) to the 3 beautiful children and 5 grandchildren I now have along with the other blessings through out my 61 years. I suppose the things GOD allows in INNOCENT CHILDREN'S LIVES will one day be understood. Until then I am sure Satan will use this whenever I allow that door to open.
As someone who lived in a world of denial through family suicide, family homicide, sexual abuse I find it difficult to accept ‘platitudes’ that say be thankful, be joyous in the midst of trials, do not feel the grief do not actually feel what traumas do to your soul and mind (pathophysiologically) Honestly platitudes do not feel any different from others who wanted to live in denial, saying ‘get busy’ distract yourself so you don’t actually feel the pain. David was a man who cried out to God many times-he gave voice to his suffering. Platitudes do not feel like compassionate to me. Grieving, though very difficult feels compassionate, honors the suffering and in that can hear Gods love and compassion for the suffering. I do not believe we learn what it is God wants to teach us if we deny suffering. I will add if we give platitudes to the lost, those who have endured lifelong abuse suffering (in-prisoned folks) they will NOT be heard. ‘Only when compassion is present will people allow themselves to see the truth’. Proverbs 25:20 As he taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singers songs to an heavy heart. Gods peace and comfort be with all 🙏
I think there is place for both things. We cry out in our agony until we receive the ability to seek the good on every single day. Those things are real but , you're right, the Lord doesn't demand gratitude when we are struggling to breathe the next breath. We can honestly cry out all out agony as if it's all there is when we are on our faces. Our God is Mighty to save.
@@anotherdayatthefeast8100 Right. The rosary has become a trend. Probably thanks to the actor in the chosen which is another false and deceptive show produced by mormons and catholic propaganda. May God bless you and gives you Wisdom and Discernment we need it desperately in these last days.

Kirk, I’m surprised that you are falling for Ann. Have you read her book, “okay skin to skin making love with God?” She is teaching falsehoods. Come on!!!
@@freshliving4199 You could well ask the second question to a religious person. With any tragedy there is a period of mourning followed by a sort of acceptance.

@@catherineclinton911 I do understand that. Just remember that there are people who cope with death knowing that it is something natural rather than spiritual and that "faith" isn't necessary to live a fulfilled and happy life.
I read her book 1000 gifts. It was depressing and repressed. How she handles conflict is disturbing. She speaks about losing a baby and her husband can't even sympathize or even listen. He talks about one of his pigs dying on the farm,and basically tells her to soldier on. Really? She just takes his minimizing of it. Don't couples need to cry and argue.

Be grateful for God always, but feel your feelings. WE ARE NOT STEPFORD WIVES.
It’s good to try not to judge. Ann obviously has been thru a lot. I think that everyone that has been thru a tragedy should do what they need to do to heal. I would like to read her book.
