My name is Jas, and I was going to be a Christian camp counselor all of this summer, but when I got to staff training in May, I was attacked by the enemy very strongly. I began to doubt God's existence at all, so I left camp and just came home. I have been spending this summer getting closer to God, and so far, I am doing very well. However, just as I was feeling ready to get out of my house and be social again, COVID hit my family. My aunt and uncle had it a little over a week ago, and then we found out this morning that my brother tested positive. So now, I cannot hang out with my extended family AGAIN until next week when they get back from Mexico. I was really looking forward to spending my last few weeks here before I go back to school with my family, but it looks like God had other plans. I can't even go to work :/ Anyways, if you could please keep my family in your prayers that would be greatly appreciated.

These seasons come and they shall pass. There is a time for everything but in time it will be the dawn of a new season. Keep looking forward to the dawn and not so much focused on the night. Look forward in expectation of the light even in the dark. Always ask yourself is God trying to teach me something? Is He urging me to participate in spiritual warfare? Am I being called to be the light to others who are in the dark? You may find great joy and fulfillment even in the sorrow if we operate in the will of God, even in hard times. In fact, it is often the pressing of times that we experience the fullness of God.

Hi, Jasmine.

There have been many times over the course of my lifetime when different situations landed me alone with God. In hindsight, those situations were the best things that ever happened to me because my relationship with God grew by leaps and bounds at those times, and I'm still reaping the benefits of it today. Hopefully, such will be your experience as well.

I'm praying for you and your family members.

Have a blessed day.

Thank you so much for the inspiration. I understand that God works wonders, even in what seems like the darker times. I am excited to see what He does with me in the coming season. God Bless You.

Psalms 121:1 - I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

It is well with you... I pray God's healing upon your loved ones that are ill at this time...
I'm also grateful for the fact that He saw you through this period and helped you with a strong hand...
More of God's Grace to keep you going... Amen
God Bless You... 🙇
