Right now, I am doubting the existence of God. You can call it the devil at work but I believe either God or the devil has to prove itself glorious. I want to read my bible, but when I open it my eyes are filled with tears. I want to say a prayer but I can't open my mouth. Rather, I moan in discomfort all day. But John 14:18 says "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
I have never been doubtful of the lord I am serving. I am at crossroads. I am minutes away from giving up on my faith in God. I mean if people are about to start asking you to show you your so-called God then I doubt his existence. Faith like a mustard seed is what the bible says but how can faithless people who trust not in God but their own efforts be unwilling to trade places with christians? The bible says faith without works is dead so let me add that I read my bible everyday and I pray everyday. I am a big giver of tithes and offerring. I share the word and God's promises with people around me. However in the last couple of day, I don't see why I should read my bible, pray or give if faith with work is still dead anyways. As far as my faith, I am blank. |

Be thankful for the troubles that come your way, for they prepare you for the next level. The result of every passed test is promotion. If the assault and battery of the wind could not tear the linnet from the leaf, what fatal blow could Life's bad hand possibly deal you? Adversity is not without its uses. Rough weather builds strong timber. For iron to take shape it must first pass the test of the fire. Character is forged in the crucible of hardship. To be the best you must stand the test. Are you going through a bad patch? Don't give up and don't give in. Like gold defy the flames, and you will increasingly become the gem of a person God created you to be.

Romans 14:23 - And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHAT SOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN. You don't need to show people your so-called God but live it and they will see it in you. Hebrews 11:6- BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. What is wrong? Why do you think you feel the way you do? Are you expecting something from God and are tired of expecting? I'm not asking for answers but what ever it is let it go....LET GO AND LET GOD!! I pray that God open your eyes of understanding for you to see what you need to see and be strenghtened where you need to be strenghtened in Jesus name.

For a while now it seemed I had lost my way and the Path God had called me to. I would like to use this blessed opportunity to Praise God and ask you all to Thank and give Him All The Glory for setting my foot aright once again and putting be on the right path, the path He has called me to. I Thank Him that my future is BRIGHT, FULL OF UNIMAGINABLE POSSIBILITIES, BLESSINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES to reach the world for Jesus. I ask that He in His Goodness, Wisdom and Mercy will continue to set my foot aright and direct my paths as He has Promised. This I pray and I ask in the Mighty Name of Jesus and I hereby testify to His Goodness, Greatness and Strength in my life.

I closed my eyes and prayed to God. I told him how tired I was. I told how worried I was. I said " please send me someone to help me with this burden. I'm tired of doing it alone. Send me someone that will care for me and someone that I can care about without the problems." I said my amens and left it that. In Jesus' name I prayed.
I got on the bus today but didn't have any change and was out of tickets. I asked people on the bus and a lady shook her head no. A young lady with the most soothing smile dug deep in her pockets and dug up two tickets. I handed her the $5...she shook her head no and handed me a ticket. I thanked her and she smiled that smile. It made me humble. I went to the grocery store. A man who operated a gypsy cab approached me and said that when I was ready he would give me a lift. I didn't take much stock in it because I knew I would be a while. 2 hours later I was at the cash bagging my groceries. Ten or more heavy bags. He came into the store and helped me bag them. He said he was waiting for me. He drove me home and I paid him his money. My groceries were stacked at the entrance to the building, baby and stroller, and over ten heavy bags of groceries and 6 sets of 8 steps....the great task ahead. A group of people were coming in the building and I held the door open for them so they could go ahead while I organized myself. They asked if I needed help and I shook my head no and smiled at them not to worry....they entered and took a step forward...then they stopped and looked back....without a word they each turned around and started carrying the bags to the third floor...they smiled as they did so...no questions asked...one man turned around said " it's not easy by yourself. " I smiled and thanked them profusely. For some reason I remebered my prayer. A voice in my head said "Somebody does care about you and you him" . With the Lord watching over me I always have what I need. He carried my heavy load today. His blessings are all I need to get by.

It's seems so much easier to give up at times... there were points recently in my life that i just felt i couldnt take it anymore... and anytime i've felt like i couldnt stand ... He's sent wonderful people in my life to lift me up and help me get back to my journey... i'm learning to Let Go, and not let Him be my last option... He has been so great to me... I just praise Him and thank Him for all he has done for me because in the midnight hour, no matter how many people care for you it's just you and your God

i ask myself why do i believe there is a God, i dont see Him, why would i give my life to someone who i am not sure exists, would my life not be less complicated without Him; i would not be forced to have faith, to hope things will get better, to seek things beyond my realm - i would live doing things myself and my way.
i go to bed concluding i am better off without God, but when i lay on my bed after a sobering from all vices, in my heart i feel him, i feel that part of Him in me, no matter how i try to dull the reality of Him i fail, i fail . my heart refuses to yield to reasoning and established facts, it beats and pants for Him, no matter what i do where i go - it tells me He is real, He is alive and He is right with me this is my testimony.......

The most fulfilling and blessed thing happened to me at work today when a co-worker who is having family troubles walked to me and asked me to pray for her niece. God be glorified. I have always prayed to God that I want to behold his beauty and glory but today I am more reassured that God of Elijah indeed answers by fire.
Make rivers in the desert Lord and grant the wishes of the lady who has been able to muster enough courage and faith to think that if she asked me to pray for her niece, her situation will be turned around. El Shaddai, I want you to move by the power of your anointing as I pray in Jesus Name. |
