If you get cancer and you don’t have medical insurance… and you have two young kids and you don’t have life insurance tell me exactly how you’re feeling….

There are levels to stress… not talking about you had a bad day… I’m talking about real life drama…
Can we pray that the Lord calm, our hearts, of course, but those need deliverance from their situation.
about the cancer scenario; very sad when that happens. no one wants to hear that. prayers are always prayed for that occurrence. God's Word is always tops. i can understand these extremely tough situations even though i never had kids but to really trust, believe & hope & know that with God, THE BEST IS ALWAYS YET TO COME! is a real deal. i had the worst upbringing you could imagine being beat physically, mentally & spiritually. everyone in the city knew it too. in the summertime when everyone's windows are open, the neighbors heard us getting beat. with my interest in psychiatry & the powers of the subconscious mind, i removed much of the hurt. then when i became born again, God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit helped me remove ALL OF IT. yes, no more hurt. i wish everyone on CC with issues to be healed of all hurt. blessings to you jacko.

I believe in miracles and I believe God can heal. But for whatever reason if he doesn’t, then I believe God needs to increase our faith and give us peace as promised by his everlasting word.

In my own experience, sometimes I don’t feel 100% peace, not of salvation (but with the circumstance at hand), and I have to scream out to the Lord and claim it, reciting bible versus like Jeremiah 29:11 over and over, and I remind the Lord of his promises.

In real life, million of christians struggle with anxiety every day whether it be divorce, losing a job, health issues, death, finances, etc.
If you aren't anxious with out a job and don't know how you are going to pay the mortgage you aren't human.
It is the natural reaction of the first birth in flesh and blood nature exactly.
To go the battle, anyways while in angst over troubles here in this life here on earth. Might want to read or re-read Job. Job did not deny God through that entire book of Job in the Old testament story of Job handling each trouble separately.
Learn from God take nothing personal or as permanent. seeing it is all pervasive
To go through troubles willingly, between God and you personally is the key, in willingness. seeing what Jesus did willingly to that cross for us all to be willing to do too, can you, if can then you will see new
Love to you and all is the call of God to us all, thanks, not seen of the first birth in flesh nature, only in the new birth call by God in John 4:23-24

God isn't going to increase your faith. "to every man is dealt the measure of faith"! & "my peace i leave you, my peace i give you". it is people who need to learn & live what they learned & that's how you get your faith & peace increased.

What do you mean by this in actuality, when I'm feeling anxiety over my circumstances? Please explain further... When I feel anxious or worried, I pray to the Lord for strength and to increase my faith.

yes, that's proper to do so. God can not do anything more for you nor anyone else. He already has done everything. you said, "when i feel anxious or worried". never be anxious for anything: Phillipians 4:6,7. God teaches NOT to be anxious or to worry. the devil is encouraging your anxiety & so far, he's winning the battle. cast the devil out in the name of Jesus Christ. the devil has no power against the believer unless the believer lets him. & forgiveness is a huge issue. when people don't forgive, that's a major setback. you can't expect to fix yourself if you haven't forgiven others. study & learn 1st Peter 5:7 & 2nd Corinthians 5:17. helpful hint: write on postcards lessons you need to learn & post them round your house. recite them when you wake up & before you go to bed. here's a statement about worrying: "you either worry or worship". i choose to worship Jesus. also, it certainly seems to me that self healing still hasn't caught on in the world in a major way. i told you about my horrible upbringing as a kid & when i was older i established a method to breakdown the characteristics. i bought 1 book about the powers of your subconscious mind & only read the 1st page & a half of the book. it was all i needed. i put my mind to work admitting, identifying, recognizing & correcting all the issues within me that my parents dealt me. i didn't play any blame game either. you have to be totally honest within yourself for self healing to work . after all, you can't lie to yourself! did you ever hear of anyone telling anyone else: "hey, i lied to myself about this & that"! what i'm saying is when engaging in self healing, don't blame anyone, be totally honest, set a plan to recondition your mind loaded with faith & trust in Jesus & believe you will conquer all issues. when i initiated self healing, i saw immediate results & corrected everything on the quick side. there's anole Latin proverb: "stop, look & listen"! that means when someone is suffering, stop everything, slow down start rationalizing & review everything, admit, identify, recognize & correct. USE WISDOM! Proverbs 4:7 blessings to you.

I have to be honest... my entire family had pneumonia for the past month. I prayed for a healing in the name of Jesus... it didn't happen, then I prayed for the cough to be less... it didn't happen. I was kinda sad when those prayers were not answered. I wasn't expecting like a miracle and for it to be gone.

I asked for a little best of rest and he did grant me that. After 2 rounds of doctors visits and two different round of different antibiotics, everyone is better, so thank God it's over.

is your diet bad? if it is, don't expect to have answered prayer when you are not eating right. people need to exercise, eat right, think, speak & act like Jesus teaches & then you are in the best life. i haven't had a cold since 1995. no one will wipe out the comnon cold, but for example, in america, it's not a wonder why the level of sickness is what it is.

God says, Faith as tiny as a mustard seed can say to this mountain move over to the ocean and will do as said to do.

there is much more to this truth given than just taking it and using it.
First it is a gift to use correctly. ( we the people do not know how)
I, you and we all are given a candy store, it is ours, we own it, each individually,
What to do with it? I love Reeses. And I can have all I want of any candy there, not only Reeses candy. Yet, I have gotten very sick eating too much, having no discipline when to and how much to eat daily. If eat at all that day.
Yet, we are told to ask, by God to eat and what is best for thee, before we take and eat, why?
Because God does not want anyone to get sick. So we the people got ahead and eat anyway as much as we desire in front of us, just as Eve did, when she saw it was desirable to be wise as God,. Adam with her did the same after her.
We the people have gotten sick, eating too much candy does what? Therefore we might be here to learn to not eat too much and learn moderation in all things, and unfortunately we do not learn unless we go through troubles first as even our ancestors have also. God warned all throughout the First (Old) Testament to the people, and they would not understand and or listen to God's love for them that they did not understand.
We are given all things we need for life and Godliness, by God Father through risen Son to us, all presently. That is the Present for us to live in trust to God to lead and listen to God say "Enough" you are making yourselves sick again fighting and arguing over things, not sincerely loving and varing for one another, Sometimes it is better to not get than get
Time to listen to God, not self or anyone else but God Father himself you think? Though risen Son Jesus for you, given you by God Father to you as reconciled.
God says no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why? because God knows what is best for us the people as we the people think we know what is best for us is the problem

Jacko: you are going through troubles and do not want to go through them, neither does anyone else. No one, I know of enjoys troubles. Not even Jesus for us enjoyed them
The trust to God Father of the risen Son Jesus is to become willing to go through troubles also, to last through them as they happen to you as in the book of Job, Job did and would not deny God. I see you not denying God, so continue to no
t deny God and one day, you will see the Last chapter of Job

There's the physical condition anxiety & there's the spiritual side as well.
I remember a couple of times in bed that an attack of anxiety came upon me where I had to get up & pray. One was so bad I thought I was on the edge of a panic attack.
Pray it through. God can heal both.:)
