Hallelujah!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

You are so welcome!

There’s a good book John piper did for your situation if you’re up to read it it’s called desiring God it talks about having/pursuing joy in Jesus it sounds like that can help you. But in the mean time understand seasons can last years or months or weeks David in the Pslams was in tears and agony at times so take comfort in the psalms and endure the trials while doing so I know it’s not easy but that’s all we can do.

I feel this way too. I don’t have the answer but you’re not alone,let’s keep praying g

I have bee​n there, something that conforts me is Reminding me what Jesus did for me in the Cross and remindingg me his fiathfulness and promises@@d22theking60

@@Benlewis03 I will definitely check it out. Thanks for sharing

@@d22theking60 amen to that!

Glad you like them!

for the Christian it’s God’s will for us to give thanks

@ I know that but there’s times I’ve probably/have when I didn’t feel like it if that makes sense.

Good question. I thank God every morning for things in my life even when I don’t really feel it. Most morning I do t feel it. I feel like if you do it begrudgingly then it’s not real to God, but atleast your trying to be thankful.

@@bsk8852 I’m actually thankful but sometimes our hearts aren’t and I ask that God gives me a Thankful heart when I don’t so I don’t stay there but yeah 😎

That's the problem, feelings....we need to follow God regardless of our feelings...You will experience a joy the world doesn't give and thankfulness will come and go. This place is not our home, we are fish out of water but some day all these negative feelings and sin will be gone!

wonderfully summarized this video in your comment. thank you!

Hey brother ,Praise the lord. I was too in this confusion for a long time. But later God revealed to me through different pastors and youtube videos Hope this Helps. I would like to answer in 2 Paragraphs brother 1) Once you put your faith in Jesus Christ . It is like a new baby born into the kingdom of God. Your Father is Jesus now. No Matter of Good works or Bad works can change your title as a son or daughter. Even a earthly parent would never reject his son or daughter even if does the greatest wrong doing son is always son. They would always want their son to come back and live a good life. But when you do good works our heavenly father's heart rejoices and when we do wrong he punishes (sickness,accidents,jobs marrriage ) to bring us back to him. I believe our God is a merciful God he will do his best to change our all of our sinful desires and make like him one day until our end. And one more thing we love him we because he loeved us first .When we start doing everything out of love and gratefulness there wont be striving only stewardship So, Imagine in this entire world there are just 1000 people living .And there are grocery stores and restaurants run by robots alone. No person can get a job anywhere and everyone is starving to death. Suddenly out of nowhere a company establishes and tells everyone is welcome to join the company and work and the owner is God. What would happen is everyone would rush to get interviewed .And everyone starts working there with full energy no one would care how much they get paid. Everyone would work there with a grateful Heart and love towards the owner. Ur eyes must be on Jesús alone. Sometimes even if we are saved we wouldn't feel like obeying God's Commands. But as the Bible says we should work out of salvation push to do God's commands. It's like a starter motor: your obedience provides the initial energy, and then God’s power takes over and continues the transformation
