Many of you, including myself have expressed the many problems, trials and tribulation, heartache and pain that you are going through. I have suffered many a day. I have cried many a night. Yet, God has sustained me through it all! Sometimes it seemed like a lifetime before things got better, but they always did in time. I suffered through alcohol and drug abuse, but God delivered me. I suffered divorce and being separated from my 4 yr old son but God comforted me. My heart has been broken over and over again, but God healed me. I endure injustice on my job, but God humbles me. Depression, and lonliness has attacked me over and over, but God dwells with me. I have been broke financially, but God has blessed me. Satan hates me and hell knows me because I love God and I serve Him only. I will not faint. I will not grow weary in well doing. There is no amount of suffering that compares to what awaits us in His kingdom we walk by faith and not by sight. He is pure love and He loves us. There are some things that only He understands. Either you trust Him or you dont. Either you love Him or you dont. We suffer with Christ. He has blessed me, shown me favour, annoited me and protected me from the enemy. I know that my life would have been many times worse without Him.

God bless you. I know how u feel and what you've been through, I destroyed my own and many others lifes through drug and alcohol abuse. I leave in my wake a spiral of shattered lives. But its not over, when I recently came to the Lord, I have become a completely different person. But its tough, and don't u give up. Satan is a real beast, I tell u that truthfully. Praise be to God

First of all I want to thank GOD for not letting you go coz he knew " you are mine". We have a lot of different experienced but I credited your life experienced. I maybe young but I learned from you. GOD never left you coz he knew what's in you heart. I'm amazed what GOD did to you.

yes he is..There are a lot of temptation but if we seek GOD and pray that he'll guide you, GOD will be there. All I can is PRAISE GOD....as you've just said walk by faith....

The people in these forums are so awesome! I appreciate everyone here , you guys are like an extended family that reminds me of exactly what you said "flight" Gods favor! I'm at a place in my life that I've never been before. No one calls just to say "hey how are you,?" stops by to visit.. So I go out and do it.. I visit an elderly lady who has a husband dying from cancer , it's blossomed into the sweetest friendship.. She brews coffee and we sit and talk for hours. I listen mostly while she talks. she likes to bring out all her boxes of jewelry each time I'm there.. She tells me the stories of her mother wearing certain pieces, things her daughter gave her. And shares stories behind costume jewelry , she hasn't worn a piece of jewelry since I've met her. It really brought to light that the stories of the people and the memories of a loving gift, a laughable time, were more important to her than the pieces themselves. Sweet ms Barbara , I smile to think of her.. I guess what I'm getting at is in every valley there is another door to go through. Many times I have found my choice to be the culprit of my own despair. I chose to sit in the seat of despair instead if getting up and walking away from it.. Having the atrengh th from God to do it os whatalrs me stand up and walk. Wardrobe is everything! Helmet of salvation, shoes of peace, breastplate of righteousness, shield, and the sword of Gods word protects us. When we see a brother or sister not fully dressed for battle, we must be armor bearers. Some of that armor is pretty heavy to put on by ourselves and we must be reminded of that. We must also " grasp every though" like a bug in our hand and take them
captive.. . . God is who builds our spiritual muscle, He uses the weak to confound the wise. We are His righteous oaks , a planting of the Lord!!
! He makes us the head and not the tail, he crowns us with beauty instead of ashes, wraps us in a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair! Yes! Our hope, our trust is in the Lord.. He is Alpha, Omega, Creator! He is the Author and the Finisher, He is Counselor, Friend, All Seeing and All Knowing! He has "called " us from out of eternal darkness and placed us into these bodies to" work all sin out of us." I will let Hom work it out, love it out, wring it out, stomp it out, check it out, beat it out, SHOUT IT OUT OF ME!!! .. Search my heart oh Lord and let NO dark place remain in me.. Put the lights on it, expose it, name it and let me see it for what it is.. Lord I ask that you perfect THIS BRANCH and may my integrity towards Him never leave me!!! for all those who are burdened and heavy laden .. .. cast ALL your cares upon Him FOR HE LOVES US SO!! This is our Fathers House!! For He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world!! And He bought us with price!! We've already won the victory!!

Ummm. I'm generally very quiet.. This is the stuff that comes out when something touches a particular nerve in me.. I don't know how to explain it or understand it all yet .. I really hope someone knows what I'm talking about here..

Thanks everyone for your responses. I posted my original thread because I know that are people out there who feel like all hope is gone. Its never over! We (the body of Christ) should never throw in the towel! If you give up, you're telling God that there is nothing else that He can do for you. I would never insult Him like that after all that he has brought me through and done for me. Wait I say upon the Lord. God is in charge. Everything is done by His ways and not ours, and in His time and not ours. I've noticed that life has gotten a little tougher over recent years. Therefore pray for strength, pray for what you need, then wait on Him. We have minds that use logic to calculate when we should get what we want or when things should get better. I've learned that it won't happen until God decides for it to happen. Father knows best. I just want to say to those of you who are new to trials and tribulation that things do get better somes it takes years. That seems like a long time when you're going through. But once its over it doesn't seem so long. Just rememer that the rain falls on all of us just like the sun shines on all of us.

I'd also like to share something else. We can sometimes be our own worst enemies. I've often times prayed for God to protect me from myself. Protect me from sinful desires that come natural to me and He does. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Sometimes a thought will just to pop into my head that is telling me to do something that is so sinister and evil that I won't even mention it here on this post. It used to terrify me. I thought. That I was going crazy. But I learned that it was only satan attacking my mind. I learned from a pastor on tv that you can verbally reject thoughts in the name of Jesus I tried it and it works I do it all the time. You have to rebuke satan everyday and surround yourself with the things God.
