It's very hard. One day I believe in him and the next day I am questioning his existence. One day I have faith and the next day it seems like it has left me. But I will continue to have hope and faith regardless, he is the only one I can depend on to get me through.

Read Joshua 1:9; Isaiah 41:10; 43:1-5; Matthew 28:20. God gives us the assurance that He is always with us, He wants our good.

[@Mim39034]

I will read it. Thank you and God bless 🙏

Don’t ever give up. And cry, as you have need to. I believe God’s heart churns within Him as His children cry - even loudly in silence.

​@@Mim39034God is steadfast, therefore He never leaves us. He said to Isaih I will never forsake you nor leave you. No matter what our inner turmoil is, it is the trick of Satan to make us separate from God. But God is faithful and always with you.. just know He is there beside you~ God bless🤞😏🙏

[@J9sutton]

I understand what you are saying ❤

[@IeltsWilliams]

Love you God. I have no other words.

When you struggle with depression, instead of thinking that you'll let God down, turn to the Scriptures. See all the stories and Psalms of those who struggle, even curse God and pray for death. Understand you're not alone, or broken - you're human. God is a loving God, and He will always understand you, even better than yourself. If you resonate with what I've said, relate to it, leave a comment and let us pray for you. You aren't alone, you are loved. Try and hold on: there is more yet to come. Jesus lives ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑

Genesis 49:1-9 of Genesis 49:1-27(Jacob Blesses his sons) Genesis 49:1-9 "49 " Then Jacob ( Israel😊❤) called his sons and said, " Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the days to come. 2 " Assemble and listen, O sons of Jacob, listen to Israel😊❤ your father. 3 " Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the firstfruits of my strength, preeminant in dignity and preeminent in power. 4 unstable as water, you shall not have preeminence, because you went up to your father's bed; then you defiled it- he went up to my couch! 5 " Simeon and Levi are brother; weapons of violence are their swords. 6 Let my soul come not into their council; O my glory, be not joined to their testimony. For in their anger they killed men, and in their willfulness they hamstrung oxen. 7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. 8 " Judah😊❤ , your brothers shall praise you; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's son shall bow down before you😊❤. 9 Judah😊❤ is a lion cub; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion and as a lioness; who dares rouse him? "( Genesis 49:1-9 ESV Study Bible) Jesus 😊1st❤ is the lion😊❤ of Judah😊❤. Proverbs 30:30 " 30 the lion😊❤ , which is mightest among beasts and does not turn back before any; 31 the shutting rooster, the he- goat, and a king whose amy is with him."( Proverbs 30:30-31 ESV Study Bible) Under the genealogy of Jesus Christ( Matthew 1:1-18( The genealogy of Jesus😊1st❤ Christ) Matthew 1:1-3😊❤ "1 The book of the genealogy😊❤ of Jesus Christ( Jesus😊1st❤), the son of David😊❤, the son of Abraham😊❤. 2 Abraham😊❤ was the father of Isaac😊❤, and Isaac😊❤ the father of Jacob😊❤, and Jacob😊❤ the father of Judah😊❤ and his brothers(😊❤'s), 3 and Judah😊❤ the father of Perez😊❤ and Zerah😊❤ by Tamar😊❤, and Perez😊❤ the father of Hezron😊❤, and Hezron😊❤ the father of Ram😊❤, "( Matthew 1:1-3 ESV Study Bible) Matthew 1:1😊❤ "1 The book of the genealogy😊❤ of Jesus Christ( Jesus😊1st❤), the son of David😊❤, the son of Abraham😊❤."( Matthew 1:1 ESV Study Bible)

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Mark 5:21 of Mark 5:21-43(Jesus 😊1st❤ heals ❤ a woman and Jairus's daughter) Mark 5:21 "21 And when Jesus(😊1st❤ our savior in Christ😊❤) had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him(Jesus😊1st❤) , and he( Jesus😊1st❤) was beside the sea ."( Mark 5:21 ESV Study Bible) When you gathered for someone, sometime do you also need to wait? It teaches us patient in our waiting in gathering in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤) right? For example, in the i always wait on line to buy coffee for my wife in christ. Now we 're in Christ also "gathered" from Mark 5:21 middle of the verse , the word, "... gathered ( you might ask about who?) about Jesus(😊1st❤),..." from Mark 5:21 middle of the vese ESV Study Bible) "...on the other side "( from Mark 5:21 also close the middle verse from Mark 5:21 ". .. to the other side,..."( Mark 5:21 middle of the verse) Under the context and content of Mark 8:27-30( Peter😊❤ confesses Jesus(😊1st❤ our savior in Christ) is the Christ( "Christ" means to me Messiah= Jesus😊1st❤)) Matthew 8:28 " And they told him, John 😊❤ the Baptist😊❤; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets." 29 And he( Jesus😊1st❤) asked them( his disciples😊❤'s) " But who do you say that I am😊1st❤? " Peter( 😊❤) answered him(Jesus😊1st❤), " You are the Christ( Jesus😊1st❤ or Messiah= Jesus😊1st❤)." 30 And he (Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ) strictly charged them to tell no one about them."( Matthew 8:28-30 ESV Study Bible. Amen to Jesus 😊1st❤ in Christ.) So in Mark 5:21 in the middle of the verse said " ... to the other side,..."( Mark 5:21 middle of the verse) " Jesus(😊1st❤ my Lord and my savior too in Christ😊❤) ) returns to the Galilean side of the sea, where his popularity has constantly grown."( ESV Study Bible ) in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤) in Christ. Do you know where Jesus was to the other side? "Jesus😊1st❤ returns to the Galilean side of the sea,..."( ESV Study Bible )

[@Chandlerfrith]

YES!!! That's exactly her name so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

[@Chandlerfrith]

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony on news last week.

[@CharlesTalag]

So nice to see Ms. Angela talked about here, her good works are speaking already, and like wide fire she's spreading
