So timely for me! I have just realized over the past few months how most of my prayers could be summed up as “deliver me from suffering”. And God wasn’t removing the suffering and at first I was frantic like a caged bird but then in my prayers of pain, God helped me see how fearful I am and the effort I put into avoiding it. And I realized I was being invited to embrace and walk with God in suffering . It has been such a journey of daily, sometimes hourly, submission to God’s Will. I am so grateful because there is true freedom in this.

Your educators are great. I'm just too dumb to keep up and overcome my problems. Your group is gifted. You are smart enough to achieve success over social skills and get closer to our Lord. I admire all of you from afar. GOD BLESS AND KEEP U SAFE.

You can overcome everything in life through Christ Jesus who loves you perfectly! No one is ever 'too dumb'. That is a lie from the devil to suppress you and steal your joy. The devil is trying to distract us from God by bringing us down. God would NEVER say we are 'too dumb' for anything He asks of us! The good Lord has given you everything you need intellectually! Even Moses asked God to send someone else to speak to Pharoah, the king of Egypt, because Moses was 'slow of speech'. God replied and asked Moses who gave Moses his tounge and speech abilities!? God did! God knew what He gave Moses and still asked Moses to be the one to go and speak! Whatever you have it is perfect! Don't measure yourself against these men or others. Only measure yourself against what Jesus is calling you towards with your unique gifts! Our weaknesses are always an opportunity for Jesus to shine through more brightly then we ever could! He wants to use the intellect He gave you for great things! Rejoice and be glad in this Eternal Truth! May you have a blessed day with God Almighty!!! 🙏✝️🙏

I dont know who you are but don’t you EVER call yourself dumb. Ever. I’ve tutored a lot of kids and and people in their 20s who thought they were dumb. I’ve had friends who thought they were dumb. And while, yea, there is a difference in intelogence and people have different IQs, but what I find is the even people who have below average IQ are still capable of accomplishing amazing things (in some ways, it’s the high IQ people that are more paralyzed). But you’re probably in the average range, and what I wanna say is a huge thing that makes people “dumb” is there is something psychological preventing them from being as clear headed and creative as they can be. Most times it’s a mix of anxiety and self-limiting beliefs but if you take that away, give people a safe place to try things out and some encouragement, you see people relax and become creative and capable.
