Proverbs 2:1-6 ESV [1] My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, [2] making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; [3] yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, [4] if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, [5] then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. [6] For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
Amen. Suffering is a part of life. Our suffering is not outside of the sovereignty of God. He is with us in it. He never tempts us, but He knows when we will fall, and has a redemptive plan in which our failures work for our good, only when we abide in Him. Our sufferings are for Him. They are our portion, our piece of the cross which Christ bore.
@JTIsAlright Yes , I'm make changes now. It's like I'm being guided. And i feel a presence of something. I have sinned in the past , and i repented for it. That's what i mean when i say there's no going back. I wouldn't want to anyway. I'm going to repeat past mistakes.
It is definitely very hard being Christian, though Jesus is my everything. I tend to keep falling and struggling with the same sin!!! I continue to seek Jesus and his forgiveness and offer up to Him this sin as a sacrifice! Thank you for your video!! Just discovered your channel! Keep up the good work! God Bless 🙏🏽
I love this. It just shows that the present doesn’t half to be find will chaos but with Gods grace. Ben, I’m struggling with trusting that God is with me all the time. I to, feel the guilt of not doing things right ( or thinking I’m doing something wrong when I’m trying to help others.) This video really helps me a lot to know that I’m not the only one struggling alone in this. I trust in that the lord can and will get me through this battle. And I know I just need to be patient and in waiting, even when it gets hard. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression a lot in 2023 but I know that 2024 will be better. I don’t want to admit it but I’m fearful knowing that I will fall back into depression again. I’m trying to hard to focus on the present knowing that I can enjoy life as it is. But I’ll also half to face what I’m dealing with in the mind. Knowing that the Lord is by my side always. If you have any advice, please comment on this. God bless you all and your self Ben. ❤
Remind yourself of the love of Jesus through the gospel daily, that your forgiven, saved, and reconciled back to God by his blood shed on the cross. Continue to fall deeper in his grace, our weakness is a canvas for his strength but we must rely on it in faith. Your battle with depression and anxiety has already been won! Not something for you to fight, but something for you to give up to him fully, he already defeated it on the cross. We have complete victory, never fear, he has not given us a spirit of fear, that is the enemy. Continue to put on the armor of God and believe in his promises of freedom🙏
