Why God Allows Our Struggles

Hey everyone! In this video, I'm opening up about my own struggles with irritability and anger, and how I've been praying for God to take these feelings away. Inspired by Paul's "thorn in the flesh" from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, I share why God sometimes doesn’t answer our prayers for healing right away. I'll talk about how these challenges teach us to depend on God, show His power in our weaknesses, and help us empathize with others. This journey has helped me understand the deeper purpose behind my struggles, and I hope it brings you some comfort and encouragement too. Let's dive into this together!

Needed this today. No matter how bad my situation gets Lord Jesus I will seek you everyday. Even when I feel like giving up I will keep faith. As a single mother. I’m struggling to make ends meet. My husband passed years ago. I have no one to turn to but you Lord JESUS. Both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. Lord I’m afraid. Every month I struggle trying to provide for my children struggling to pay rent and to buy groceries. Lord help me and hear my prayers. With you God all things are possible. ❤️

Hi there! just wanted to remind you that GOD loves you so much! And I love you to❤❤ Everting will work out. So be strong and don't give up💪💪

[@PMyoutubehandle]

Pride was paul's weakness. It required humility for him to understand grace.

[@alexisleetrevino]

Correct!

[@abigailkinyanjui7783]

Exactly!

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? - Psalm 27:1 💡"

We can relate to Paul because he struggled like we have. He went through so much. God does allow bad things to happen, but he wants us to overcome it and not give up hope. Thank you for speaking on this

[@IsaKemelly]

I'm Brazilian andI love watching your videos, I feel like they answer a lot of my questions, may God bless you

[@alexisleetrevino]

I'm so glad!

[@HannahJoy333]

This is all true. I also have to say sometimes we need to pray for the Holy Spirit to grow us and help us remove the issue or help us have peace in the midst of the process. I chase God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to help me in every situation. Often God is actively placing people and situations to work these “thorns” out in our lives too. We think He isn’t removing it but He is because we are experiencing the exact things we need to in order to get rid of the “thorn”. The Holy Spirit will speak through people and move in you so overwhelmingly and you might not realize you’re being transformed over time.

I needed this today! It relates to my current situation but Jesus is always with me❤✝️🙏Jesus I love you more than anything and anyone! Thank you so much for sharing and encouraging alexis

[@LayaaaLorre]

God is definitely great and you are on point, there’s some struggles that I’ve been facing for a while, I just wish that it will be taken away but at the same time I know it has to be a mighty good reason why God is allowing it to keep going. Because sometimes I feel so sad that I’ve been facing but I have faith and I will trust that God has a bigger plan then my struggles and the things that I face ❤

Psalm 71:20 “you have allowed me to suffer, but you will restore me to life again” Psalm 51:16 “you do not desire a sacrifice, or would I offer one…. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit, you will not reject a broken spirit and repentant heart, o god” 🙏🙏 the lord has accepted me and my pain. I stumbled upon the psalms of David, I think the lord knew what he was doing there.

🥰🥰🥰 awhhhh

[@scottydwarica688]

Hallelujah 🙏 God allows evil and struggles to happen because He is a Loving and Forgiving God He let's people choose to do Good or evil he wants us to grow closer to him from every bad situation God's Mercy is Greater than all the sins of all Mankind God could easily stop Evil in this world 🌎 but then God would take a way all our Freedom there would be nothing to choose from but desolation 95 % of the world is living in the Flesh they will beg God to Forgive them on Judgment Day But God will say Depart from me I never knew you 🔥😭

[@KelsthelightPretorius]

[@user-em1tt6lh7e]

Well said thanks just what I needed 🙏

[@melissadesouza8796]

Amen, thank you for this video, I have been struggling for a personal decision for the past few months, until now I'm no closer to a solution. Pls pray for me. From Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

[@KelsthelightPretorius]

Totally relatable and sometimes the flame of anger is easily set up . Your amazing lex hope your doing okey now ❤

[@litame3814]

Amen ! We need not give the enemy all this credit “ it’s the devil/enemy “ when things happen. In the word , it speaks to circumstances happening due to Gods will (blessings and trials) … I have been making a point to say “ if it’s in your will Lord” !!! Even when things are hard I say that as a reminder of this❤

[@KelsthelightPretorius]

Admire your love for God so much lex❤

[@LNDiaries]

Amen ❤

[@GelseyMurphy]

God is not evil. If God allowed evil he's evil. Evil happened in heaven from Satan and demons God then removed them all as that sinful act by Lucifer violated God. Evil is not good when evil happens for your salvation you endure it to keep salvation. Testing is Satan remember the Garden of Eden he told Eve a test to move her and it did thus the fall of man. However with violating God came wisdom knowing who tested and didn't test anyone was God. Go through your trials and tribulations knowing God helped not sin and death.
