I have tried to find someone to talk to as I lost everything 5 years ago. My job of 30 years went, my home, my family relationships with siblings, my marriage and my mind because of depression . I've prayed endlessly but hear nothing. I don't hear a yes or no or a not now. I go to church and bible study. I'm thankful for my belief in heaven. I only live for death know and can't wait to move on. I have nothing in this life. If I knew the rapture was later today I would be so happy.

[@Frost517]

I’m at the same point. Everything has gone. All I want is my health and to take care of myself that’s basically gone now. I’m praying and crying out for the rapture at this very moment. I want to be at peace and home and with my grandmother again!

[@foreverastudent4125]

This is how I feel almost every day. May he come quickly.

when everything is taken away, we still have Jesus. AI have lost a lot in my life too. I lost a home, a marriage, my parents, my health, friends of 20 and 30 years, finances, faith in people and doctors, etc. I realized I was very codependent, people pleaser and naive. I have to trust Jesus!

[@shine2678]

Hai mary, how are you doing now?

[@arod6982]

I’m 19 years of age I feel trapped and having problems with my gf that I love so much & I really don’t know what to do but I’ll never blame god, instead accept the pain I’m going thru & asking him for the strength no matter how rough things are I will always accept my lord my father into my heart !

[@julianafernandes0355]

Powerful teaching..we are in the similar situation as yours..due to some wrong decisions in business made by my husband.. my children n my entire family is affected.my husband is v loving n a man of faith..I trust God to change our situation He is in prison at present..please pray for my family to the Lord...In the mighty name of Jesus I pray to God to release my husband from prison🙏 Thank you Jesus

[@jefflim7543]

I lost my life savings my wife wnd suffered stroke help me God pls

[@ednakondy9579]

I'am 26 years old, I lost everything, I always help people when I have things, I never say no, I always give, know I have nothing, no one cares about me.. But God always there in good and bad times??? Why people always doing that??

[@HELLH0WND]

Didn't Job's friends ask him the exact same questions?

[@savedwretch8711]

I am one of those who made some terrible decisions and regretted it instantly but what is done is done and that took everything away from me as well I lost it all in this world. but Our heavenly Father has used all this to bring me closer to Himself, I have never been so close and never prayed so much in my life I praise him and thank him for what he's doing in my life even though it is absolutely the most painful experience I've ever had

[@lizzkl89]

I love God, but i think as for today i won't anymore. He took my happiness away from me, there's no such thing as freewill. N ur bible verses actually made me think this way

[@shikha5246]

My money constantly keeps getting stolen every month and I’m just so tired of it I feel like giving up. Keep asking God for a sign and it never happens. My mental health sucks because of how badly it affects my finances and I’ve tried everything and nothing has stopped it

[@AskDrBetters_MARKINCMinistries]

I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling that way. I understand how frustrating and confusing it can be. You may want to consider talking to someone to help. We have counselors available who want to help. Go to HelpandHopeNow.org to find out more. God Bless!

[@mollieboldt2696]

Oh Dr.Betters that was a very wonderful teaching,I love that Gods spirit is so lovely, thank you God Richly Bless YOU 🙏❤

[@dParakeet]

I’m 19 and lost everything. I blamed God when I asked for his guidance on financial matters and watched it drain away knowing there isn’t food at home. How can I trust him when he lead me into wreckage? I would’ve done better with my own understanding..

[@eternalriver7866]

I hate him he’s been proven a liar time and time again. He’s the real devil. Sorry he allowed that to happen to you

[@mknight6026]

I've lost everything. My job, my house, my tools and work equipment, my family. I don't know weather I should just end myself or try starting over why sleeping in a ditch

[@HyltonMR]

Adversity does hurt and it is painful, I pray things get better for you. God is currently treating me the same way, I’ve been stripped of everything even though I was faithful to God.

[@shine2678]

I hope you are doing good now

[@illegaltendencies7803]

Thanks brother

[@sariahlace5944]

I hate the fact,that christians/religious people,are always eager to offer spiritual pep talks. just allow the individual to vent their frustrations. Instead of giving the person,false hope. If a real true god does exist then it's him,and him alone,that created the misery in the world,in the first.

Can anyone tell me how a man who was born blind can glorify God as Jesus said.

[@AskDrBetters_MARKINCMinistries]

Thank you again for submitting your question. It was selected and answered in a recent video we released in March. Hope it helps!

[@bobbyellis2485]

What if the whole problem isn't me what if the whole problem is something somebody did to me to destroy my life and prayed that God would stop them and he didn't and that's my whole problem and now I can't trust God because he broke my trust and my faith

[@shine2678]

Dont loose hope brother, every human being have suffering, Jesus had it too, but he conquered it, run to Jesus, cry at his feet accept all your sins and repent not just one or two days but continuously like a women in the bible who was always after a judge to give her Justice, then only you will receive true blessings..

[@darleneblackmon710]

Thank you again for sharing this video....refreshing!

[@donnaking3344]

God expects you to fight and protect what is yours.

[@susanryan4874]

This was not a great take. You’re applying a proverbs sense of justice (good things go to good people, and people lose good things, etc). This is an incomplete picture of justice. You must go to Job::: suffering happens to wonderful people all the time. Suffering happens to god’s favorite people. And we don’t know why and may never know why. But God loves “the beasts” he creates, too. He loves the “Agon,” the opposition. Maybe because it’s that opposition that drives you closer to his will. I dunno. But just because you’ve lost everything doesn’t mean you did something to deserve it. For God, that’s human justice. The notion of deserving anything is beside the point for God’s justice (which is-even if it is pain for us-his will). Honestly, it sucks. Hardest lesson to learn as a believer.

[@shanthageorge8254]

Thank you, Susan.

[@Frost517]

Great points. I just wish the Lord would show up like at the end of Job and restore everything double already. :-( I can’t do this anymore. I’m closer to God then ever and ready for heaven now.

[@stevewyche5232]

Doesn't really answer the question, the answer is basically saying that you could potentially be losing things because of what you are doing. Yet in another video, it states that God doesn't punish us on earth.

[@mycrazylifelol]

Then I don't want god if I am just going to lose everything. I would pick hell be him
