7 years with a debilitating disorder that's ruined a lot in my life and I still have yet to find hope. Did God give me this?

@@Lavendeer201 Sorry to hear about your disorder and I pray for relief for you.

Well said 👍🏻 After falling for the “new age” ideas, it took me time to understand what Lord wants to say.

All God has given me is a terrible life of want. Lord, In Jesus name please make my life better.

Amen. I have good things but having a chronic and sometimes completely debilitating disorder that has ruined everything for me. I pray for hope but nothing ever comes. I feel you

[@SlayUrDemons2023]

I understand first hand. I have been delivered, it’s a demonic spirit not God. The only happiness we will ever find is in God as he instills it in us. Otherwise Satan never wants to see us happy so he gets in our minds leading us to think that having more and more of this or that will create happiness. Well, here is the truth, if the “this and that” is not God or of God- in his will, happiness will never be found. Spend quality time with him in his word. Seek to understand it, and do what it says (of course imperfectly) and he will answer your prayer. If you also have faith that he will! Very important. I sent a prayer up for you. God is good!

I asked for something thinking that something will make me better , wealthier, better status , I guess I'm asking for the wrong things but I don't know what else I can pray for I do have other problems should I ask God to take them away !

[@joelbaez9771]

Sounds like a contradiction. Ask me for "anything" and you shall receive but it has to fall into my category. Sounds like what I need I won't receive because I'm suppose to struggle for the better good. Hmm that's scary cause the only thing keeping me going in this world is that he'll one day answer my prayer.

Can you to me then , I ask for a godly husband someone after his own heart, so that I can come out of fornication but instead he gave me some old man that's old enough to be my father I was Pacific about what I wanted in a godly Man someone young my age after his own heart but instead I got nothing so the things I asked for is not in vain it's something to help me but it never comes out to be so this word asking you shall be giving and seeking you shall find I think it's not true

@@veronicakoonce4600 why did you end up with an old man? you married him? Why? If that’s not what you wanted, why did YOU do it? Nobody made you. That was your choice- your decision. You can’t say that you tried to find what you wanted if you married the wrong person.

I respectfully disagree, I believe God loves us more than we can comprehend. God has given us free will and power, he loves us and believes in us. I believe God will always give us what we believe he will give us

[@matthewyount5737]

I know a very devout mother who prayed constantly to have her young son's brain tumor healed. It sadly did not heal. Was she not believing hard enough?

[@ushasingh2303]

@masa-ct6xn can’t continue sinning and expect Jesus gives what you want. John 9:31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose

[@teresaburton4145]

@@matthewyount5737Perhaps her fervent prayer opened doors for God in her life. The child will live forever in heaven, and now perhaps the mother will also live forever in heaven. Nothing that we suffer here on Earth is too much if it leads us to Jesus.

Then what is the WILL OF GOD for me? And that is contrary to the gift of free will then?

What is the fastest you prayed for something and received it ? 🙏 🤔 For me, it was 45 minutes ! 👇🤠

[@atlas5651]

Doesnt make sense... you clearly believe in fate... so how can one ask if you can be healed from a sickness if fate (Gods Will) can be that you die with that disease. You cant possibly know his "will" if you believe in fate. There would be no reason to ask anything at that point... because his "will" conquers all your requests. And for jesus to say "ask ANYTHING"... then you put stipulations on it .. is confusing and contridicting. Maybe jesus should have said "ask for anything "good" and ill give it to you..

[@ivonnelopez8203]

You have to be able to discern what is good. If you keep not getting what you want or chaos in life than, it’s you who’s making this happen. Not God. God only what is good for His children. His children are confused though. They only think they know what is good because rarely do they question their own beliefs and feelings.

[@adhd_with_pennies4867]

Does that mean if i ask for a specific love or person i will get it I ask everyday for the same person everyday that i have love with the person that i first had a personality with thats what all i ask for is to have love with the person i first understood what personality is would be mine and i ask and i received when he meant anything he meant something worth lasting like love or something so random u ask of

Please Help me I Believe Jesus Is The Son of God and God The Son of The Holy Trinity I Believe Jesus Shed His Blood and Died in the place to Pay for All my Sins He was Buried Then 3 Days Later Jesus Arose From The Dead!!! But I am struggling with some Sins that I honestly don’t know how to quit I hate my Sins But I genuinely don’t know how to stop them Am I still Saved because of my faith in Jesus or am I Not Saved because of my Sins? Am I born again because of my faith in Jesus or is there something more I need to do? Thank you for All your Help and Time God Bless you

Once saved, always saved, but this doesn't give you a license to sin ! 🤔 God is looking for "repentance" God is Not interested in how many times you fall, But how many times you get back up ! 🥰

As a gay Christian... I don't believe that God wants me to be with anyone. Instead my belief is that I am to remain lonely, cold, and chronically depressed to the point where I have lost important things in my life. Yet why do I still believe in Him

Seek God's will in your life, you'll find out that God's plan for yourself is much more that what you had planned for you.

No such thing as a gay Christian. That’s like Bigfoot. Except if you mean the traditional definition of gay which was happy for 300 years.
