IN NEED OF GODLY ADVICE

[Marylyn Kanini Mwnzia]

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I need your advice.

I feel so discouraged and no matter how I try to pick myself up, I find myself down in the dumps again. What's wrong? I can't really say that I have much to complain about except maybe because a while back, my brother committed suicide. I loved that man. But he was sick terminally, and I guess that he just couldn't take it any more. Oh, and did I mention that he was a great positive influence on my spiritual life. I remember how we used to share, I guess I placed too much hope on him.

My spiritual life is struggling. I've wronged God too many times to count. Im sure many of you who are older in the faith have gone through trying times when you felt as if you wouldn't make it. How did you handle it? Im so tired of fighting, I just want to rest the way I used to before all this.

I know that we are not supposed to self-medicate. We are supposed to let God heal our pain. However, I hardly have the patience to let God use His methods to take away the pain. Please help me Christians.

[Micah RaSun-Vann]

Sis

Our suffering and pain is never in vain. There is ministry birthed through our pain. I lost my husband two years ago so I know some of what you are experiencing. But God is both willing and able to heal you as he has done me. These are the moments when the strong bears the infirmities of the weak. I will pray to the Father that he will send you a Jonathan (David's friend) who will walk with you through this course you're on. A spiritual friend who will encourage you, only speak life, pray for you and will love you as Christ loves you. A divine connection. We all love and care for you as many of us here have gone through many test and Christ has brought us through and we know he will do the same with you. Utter words of worship to the Lord and you will find that he will overshadow you with his presence and bring peace and healing to your soul. Worship Him.

[T.L. Hawkins]

I understand. You said you were "tired of fighting". Remember this: The battle is NOT yours. It's the Lord's! (1 Samuel 17:47)

Be comforted...
Corinthians 1:3-4 (King James Version)

3) Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

4) Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Have Peace...


Philippians 4:6-7

6) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Psalm 6
Psalm 90

Remember, God won't put any more on you than you can bare. Let your Brother's memory be your encouragement.
Be Blessed.
