Bible Discussion Thread

I am experiencing very rough circumstances, and I have been trying to trust the Lord. But, last night I just broke down because it is so much happening all at once. I do not know what to pray for sometimes, I am tired of going through so many issues. Please pray that God gives me the resources and knowledge to get through these times. Pray that He guides me on what I should do and how I can remain positive during this time. Thank you in advance.

Dear Shamaria,

I am happy to be able to pray for your needs. Please know that this time truly shall pass but being in the midst of it is difficult.

The Holy Spirit is our Comforter and Healer and Restorer. Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit all work as one to help those of us who call out to Him in faith. Even when our faith is small, He will help us to grow our faith. Even when we are discouraged, He will encourage us and assure us of His love, power, and good intent towards us. Believe this, Shamaria. when I feel really down and out I love to remember what Peter said to Jesus when many were departing from following Jesus,"To whom else shall we go, Lord, for You have the words of eternal life." It is good to speak this out when we doubt, when our resolve to follow Him falters, when we feel like quitting or like we are failing our Lord, when we are deeply hurt or disappointed. These words to us speak to us what is really the main focus of all of history: The Jesus is the one and only Way, Truth, and Life. We have no one else to turn to but Him for the things that are truly essential and only He can give. All other people, things, relationships cannot deliver to us what Jesus showers upon us!

I will be praying for you this week. Please return here to let us know how you are faring and we can continue to pray for you.
