Major diseases like MS are so difficult. (I've been living with neurological conditions since 2006, including symptoms of MS. I'm an invalid now.) You love your dear husband. To be concerned about him and your granddaughter just means you care deeply about them. It is natural. I don't see this as a sin. I believe the Lord understands. So please don't be so hard on yourself. Take it to the Lord in prayer. He is faithful to hear and answer you. The tough part is that it is not always in our way or our time. He loves you. Cling to that thought and to the scriptures that give you daily strength. I know how frustrating illness and trials can be. Ah, dear sister, it is through our suffering that God is glorified. "My power is made perfect in weakness." In mine, I was afraid, but trusted Jesus, and each time I do, my faith grows. I hope the same for you and @Revlori.

I now pray for you and may God truly bless you in return ?

It could mean a without a continual daily reading of God's Word, one is not being fully immersed within their heart and mind. So yes, that could lead to a lack of faith. Romans 10:17 This causes a tendency to become lean in the Spirit, rather than the intended fullness thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true from the word, however I personally read and study God's word daily. I can not go without it. I look forward to it upon each new day, though out the day and upon going to bed. May God bless you this day for sharing his word as well. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be encouraged, sister. I think all Christians, at some point in their lives, will feel worried, fearful and doubtful. Consider King David’s question to his Father in heaven: Psalm 8:3-4 King James Version (KJV) 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thank you friend for your response and encouragement. May God bless you today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always seasons of storms. This is a normal part of life in these old bodies. Please know that you are under no condemnation because of them. He has promised us a great deal...one of those is that "all things work together for good to them that are called". The faith that He gives, is not overcome by the doubts and fears that are there at the same time. He will keep you and will calm the storm when it has accomplished its task. Nothing can touch you without His permission. This is the wonder of being 'In Christ'. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You feel this way because you are human. Its natural. To overcome this, you need to read the New Testament, perhaps the Gospel of John, a lot. You really have to stay in the word to be able to trust the word. Also, you should ask God to help you with your unbelief. He will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I go through my trials, I had someone tell me that because I had those feelings at times,that I lacked faith in the ability of God's ability. I don't believe this. That is why I asked the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was what many consider as very successful, before Christ I had and enjoyed all of my hearts desires, I was a "self" made man, then five years after I was saved Father called me to Tahiti, He placed me in circumstances where I was totally helpless, ...this "self" made man could't even work to buy the necessities of life, ...I was forced to fish in the lagoon to be able to eat, I've had to sleep on a bench because I didn't have a place of my own, I have suffered through the Dengue Fever because I couldn't pay for a doctor, ...however, one of my favorite Bible verses is, "It came to pass!" ...proved to be true in my life, ...all of those trials and testings passed, ...and what I began to see, to learn is, ...Father was in complete and total control of my life, He is my Jehovah Jireh, my Provider, He is my Jehovah Rapha, my Healer, He is my El Shaddai, when the French government attempted to kick me out of the country, He is my I AM, my GOD, my Father and I'm one of His Blood Bought children, ...I have learned in these last 28 years that He is my Everything, ...I'm no longer responsible for myself, He is, ...and He has taken very Good care of me, ...truthfully, ...much better than I ever could of. I have learned there is much more than reading His Word, we must learn and then receive, ...we must appropriate the spiritual Truths we have learned into our spirit, weave them into the very fabric of our being, I'm certain Father allowed me to kick, fight and wrestle with Him, until I too came to my own river Jabbok experience with Him Gen 32:22-29 , when I came to the point of exhaustion in my own efforts and just let go and told Him if it was going to happen then it had to be Him doing it, which resulted in relinquishing all of my authority in/of my life to the Holy Spirit and submitting to His authority to rule, reign and guide me wherever He pleased through what ever circumstances and/or situations He deemed necessary in my life to conform me into the image of my Lord Jesus Christ. May I humbly suggest in the brotherly love as your brother in Christ, ...just stop trying to fight all of these trials and tests, just stop, put them in His hands, "qui sera sera," what will be will be..., give them to Him in prayer and then rest in the peace of God, confidently knowing and accepting His will be done. You and your husband have peace with God, ...now allow the peace of God to begin to rule in your hearts. Lord bless 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
