I do not know why but there is some sort of hurt inside what feels like my soul. I am usualy so on fire for god, and always ready to cheer others up and give hope. But now i feel like my strength is fading, I was hit with a massive wave of confusion ystereday and tried to recover from it by asking god for help. the confusion is gone but i feel so weak inside, I cannot seem to get back to my old self and i miss it. If this is a test of my faith that could be why i am trying so hard to hang on to the last bit of faith i have, and this is one of the worst storms i have ever been through. the last one i had like this weakened my trust and faith in god for a long time and i really do not want this to happen again.

So i was on my walk and i remembered the scripture saying, Have faith in god, You can tell this mountaun go, fall into the sea. And if you have no doubt in your mind and beleive what you say will happen god will do it for you. So i decided to command my pain and weakness int he name jesus christ to go away and that my body is a temple for god only and for it to never come back. The pain stayed and i heard a voice saying you do not have enough faith, And i said i do not have to that's where Jesus comes in. And then it disapeared! The pain and sadnees and weakness was gone! That is proof how you do not need increadable faith for god to heal you

aww im so sorry i will pray for you ; i understand what your going through ;im also dealing wth confusion ; i know the lord jesus christ loves us and he knows our struggles perhaps your going through a dry spell and you will recover i believe that hold onto that hope and belief you have ; i read something in my devotion time this morning maybe it will help you ;[matt14;26 ;27; 29 30] please read this its about the storms we go through its about when jesus called peter to walk on water ;when peter began to sink its because he took his eyes off jesus and focused on the wind n rain all around him and his faith falterred so what did jesus do but reach out to jesus who was the only one that could save him !you see peter forgot to: walk by faith not sight
[2 corinth5:7 ] now we may not be walking on water ; but when our troubles surround us ;if we focus on them instead of placing our faith in jesus we will sink as well ; i often do this i focus more on my problem then having faith in him ; please dont give up GOD HEARS OUR PRAYERS

thank you shirly, i learned a wonderful lesson from it though. You see while i was going through the storm i asked god, ( Lord how will you use this storm i am going through?) And use it he did, he taught me it doesn't require a lot of faith for healing only to give what faith we have in him and know he will do the rest
This happened to my husband through a long time incident, he became physically sick, mentally sick,
emotionally sick and spiritually sick. He could not read the bible. He was sitting in utter depression.
I took the word of God and I read the word of God to him every day and I put on praise and
worship music on for him through the day and through the night. I would talk to him about the incident
and just continuously brought God's word to him. It took a while before he finally started to recover.
Many of us waver in our christian walk when some situation or crisis hits us.
During the crisis we need to rely on God for strength to get us through the situation
because we alone cannot do it. Also we may question God "why" and our faith wavers.
We need to have our mind renewed so that it is Christ focus and not on
"incident/situation/crisis" focus. As we mature in Christ, our trust in God grows
as well.
We need to seek God to strengthen our faith, for Jesus is the author and perfecter
of our faith.
Ignore those feelings of weakness and take up the word of God and read it day and night diligently
without giving up. Put on christian music.
Anytime a negative thought or feeling comes, take the word of God and speak against it.
Keep constantly in prayer and in time you will overcome the situation.
If there is a pain in your soul, seek God and give him your pains and burdens.
Whenever I go through hard times, I always go back to the scriptures when Jesus was in the
garden of Gethsemane. He said to his disciples "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the
point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me". Going a little farther, he fell with his face
to the ground and prayed, "My Father, it is is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not
as I will, but as you will".
He knew he was going to be hung on the cross and bear the burdens of our sins.
He was filled with sorrow but yet he did the father's will. He did not waver.
He trusted the Father. He did the Father's will painful as it was, so that we could
have eternal life. By giving me eternal life, I am so grateful for it and even when
I have situations in my life, I just rest in the Lord cause I know He is doing something
in me and something beautiful will come out of the situation even though it means
suffering for a time.
Jesus has set an example for us. He knows our weaknesses and all he wants is for
us to go to him and rest in him. That's why He said in Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light"
Heavenly Father I lift Blain up you in prayer. Lord may you take his burden and give
him your yoke which is light. Remove the pain that he feels in his soul for whatever
reason it may be and change his sorrow into joy. Put a fervor in his heart to read
your word, to seek you, to trust in you and to rest in you. Take away confusion.
Change his weakness into your strength and may your comforting arms
be around him and may you lift him up, in Jesus name, amen

Thank you so much I will not give up, I will keep the promises i have made the lord. I felt this weakness because people were telling me to give up my promises to him and i refused. I doubted if they were even given to me from him but in my heart i refused to give them up and followed them by faith weither they were from god or me. And I will put my faithin jesus, he speaks to me even now through this music.

Dont feel alone Blain. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously I will pray with you I too have had this happen but remeber he who is in you is greater then he who is in the world. i hope i worte that right did that one from memory .

AMEN! ♥
to all your prayers and replies, I agree and say Amen! (Aramaic for 'truly', 'it is so')
Our faith is tested, not to destroy it, but to perfect it.
And it's called 'done', because all that was needed was done by Jesus, and positionally it is simply done before the Father.
But we experience difficulties to prune us and burn off the flesh, and make us like the Lord, little by little HE sanctifies us.
Thank you all for everything you said--I came last, and see how God built on each thing, and made a whole beautiful truth. ♥
Thank you, Blain, for beginning the building.
Most of all, all thanks and praise and glory to the One Who conceived of it, and birthed it in each person, and gave it life!!

14 Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice, be in high spirits and glory with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem [in that day].
15 [For then it will be that] the Lord has taken away the judgments against you; He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, even the Lord [Himself], is in the midst of you; [and after He has come to you] you shall not experience or fear evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear not, O Zion. Let not your hands sink down or be slow and listless.
17 The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.
Bless you!!!
Zeph. 3:17

Its the devil. dont give up, keep reaching for God. Simply whispering up I trust you does something beautiful inside of you. I have recently went through this myself and I just figure it is the devil throwing crap our way because we are growing closer to God. Of course he is going to try and stop it, why would we expect any less. So when you look at it like that Blain its really easy to see that its a complete lie. Our Lord never leaves us nor forsakes us. When I have the devil trying to get me to buy into his crap I whisper up "I know that you are with me Jesus" and I believe it always. His promises are solid. Ask our Lord to fill you up with untouchable faith. Once he gives this to you....ahhh its just simply amazing. You know what I say a lot when I find myself going through this? I say Devil, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus get out of my head and out of my house. I have been feeling spiritually empty myself and even made a thread on it asking for prayers and our awesome amazing brothers and sisters in Christ lifted me up as I know they will you. Any time I have negative feelings about God I just picture it being the devil in his jealously over God trying to get us to believe that crap. Remember its just crap that the devil is trying to get you to buy into. Its simple, don't.
