He was well-off, but then lost everything. He was hungry, diseased, and deeply troubled. He posed a very similar question. If you haven't read it lately, I would certainly take a gander. It is in conflict that we grow, especially conflict of the spirit. Imagine it like we're always moving forward. We may set down our tents every now and again to rest, but if we grow too complacent and comfortable in our camp, try to settle in our little nooks, then we will cease to continue forward. It might suck to be in a bad situation or circumstance, but that conflict is the exact opposite of being forsaken. Maintain your patience, Equippers, and have faith. Look at this as an opportunity to grow and learn, rather than as an impossible obstacle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is happening is that all the `I want this or that, or fix this or that,` squashed out of us. We are so `I want....` focussed, that it takes us to come to the end of our pitiful selves to really, actually mean it, ask God what He desires. And then wait, be patient, till some attitude or behaviour is highlighted, that needs changing. At the bottom the only way in UP! Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all hope is gone and I have started making preparations for the worse to come. Later, when it passes and I look back, I realize Gods loving hands were always there. Like He paused and observed my reactions to their conclusion before He cupped His hands to pick me back up again. God tells us in 1 Peter: “You may have to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire- may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” Edited December 1, 2018 by Scott Free 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest In Him Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi Equippers... Do you listen to Christian music? I do. It certainly helps me to take my mind off of myself and puts it on Jesus  I posted a song for you in Christian Music. It is a song by Chris Tomlin ~ I Will Rise Be Blessed!  I Will Rise There's a peace I have come to know. Though my heart and flesh may fail There's an anchor for my soul I can say "It is well" Jesus has overcome And the grave is overwhelmed The victory is won He is risen from the dead And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings Before my God fall on my knees And rise I will rise There's a day that's drawing near When this darkness breaks to light And the shadows disappear And my faith shall be my eyes Jesus has overcome And the grave is overwhelmed The victory is won He is risen from the dead And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings Before my God fall on my knees And rise I will rise And I hear the voice of many angels sing, "Worthy is the Lamb" And I hear the cry of every longing heart, "Worthy is the Lamb" And I hear the voice of many angels sing, "Worthy is the Lamb" And I hear the cry of every longing heart, "Worthy is the Lamb" And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings Before my God fall on my knees And rise I will rise   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you Lord, why have you ABANDONED ME! i CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE! God hasn't forsaken or abandoned you. Yield to Him and stop resisting the thing He is requiring of you. Cast not away your confidence and seek God's kingdom as a first priority instead of elevating yourself and your needs above everything else. Give glory, praise, and honour to God first before praying for your needs. God is not at fault, He never is!!! Rom 12:1-3 (1)  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (2)  And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (3)  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus also felt the same way, so this is where you turn to Him about this. His power works best in weakness, and He will turn it around for you, as long as you obtain (and retain) your relationship with Him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
