Right, I always knew things would come to a head but had no clue I would be alive for it! On one hand, it’s awesome for us to be living through this really crazy part of history. Maybe it’s discouraging bc back when the election was stolen, I had this assumption that things would happen faster. I thought trump was gonna stop them right after the election. I guess I set myself up for the disappointment with that
Man, your story sounds so similar to mine. All this time, and when I finally feel I’m getting on top of things, I feel like I’m losing, and losing quickly. I could go on for awhile about this...but why, when I can skip to the “how I fixed it”. I found Jesus. Well, I got connected. I knew about God and Jesus, always believed and such. But wasn’t really connected. I found out that if I wasn’t placing God first in my life...I was losing. Even when I didn’t see, physically, I was losing..my insides were terrible. Losing sleep, losing my temper, just not coping anymore. I blamed the world. It’s a daily long winded story...but I finally broke. And I needed to be broken. God does that. And I love Him for it. Fast forward a year later...WOW. Saved, baptized...and my worries and fears are like 1% compared to then. The Lord has me now. And I have Him. He left the 99 to come for the 1. I still sometimes get that worry feeling about “the plan”. But I can hear Him now, telling me, “focus on me”. And I do. I read my Bible lessons, also the Bible. My church fam helps me as well. Listen to some awesome music...like Crowder(Anchor)<<listen to that. But yeah, connect or reconnect to our Lord and Savior, it saved me.
I definitely have grown in my walk with God the past couple years. I waver back and forth between wanting Jesus to come back immediately and the world to end, and praying that the patriots succeed and the world continues on better for years and years to come. Half of Christians think end of times is starting now and other half don’t think so- it’s another thing that I’ve been stressing over 😂
When Jesus was lifting all my weight off my shoulders....this is the song that someone showed me. And it is by far my favorite one. Because He is my anchor. It’s He is who I look to when stuff starts to get bad. I just look to Him. I see a face, a face of Jesus, and it’s smiling back. And everything starts to melt away.
I feel when we start to lose like this, when even in life we’re gaining. Is because God is reaching for us. He will take from you, so that you need Him in your life. He can break you if needs be. Because, sadly, many of us have to be broken before we come to Jesus. His hand is always outstretched. We just have to finally grab on, and HOLD!
I hope you start to feel better soon sister. Many of us know where your at. It sucks. Just sometimes, you have to let go. He’s got you.
Amen, the last few years have really made me realize that Jesus is the ONLY thing that matters at the end of the day. I always knew that in my head, but I’ve finally felt it in my heart. Maybe that is one of the good things I can take away from this mess
That song couldn’t be any more perfect for our situation. Thank you. I do need to work on being ok with not being in control of things and just trust Him. That’s the source of my problem right now, lack of trust
Same here. I was so used to handling everything...until seemingly everything was getting out of control. Felt like all I was doing was fighting. Fighting to maintain everything that was going on. It finally hit when things were getting physical with my neighbor, work associates, random strangers. I was like what the heck? Lost countless sleep hours. Was bent on hatred for dang near everything. When all the while I had it all. God gave me my wife, children, abilities, the list goes on and on. My cup over flows with His blessings. And I deserved none of it. I finally gave in. Was broken. Felt like I couldn’t hold back tears for a few months. I was finally home. What a journey. Best year of my life, last year, so far. It just gets better from here, no matter what happens. Because I trust in Gods will. So I understand giving into someone’s trust over your own. I hope it goes more smoothly for you than it did me. LoL. But then again, whatever it takes right? I need Jesus now, everyday. So I’m glad I got wrecked beforehand. It’s what I needed.
I mentioned our conversation to my wife this morning, and talked about how a few songs I listen to really bring me back. To when I was on my knees, practically begging our Lord. I didn’t used to think music helped. But it really does. Music that songs praise to my God in Heaven...we smile together, listening to it. And I’m not gonna lie, I feel like I got a pretty good voice...in my truck, singing along, with none else around. 😁

This is a song that really helps her. I told her I’d share it with you. https://youtu.be/KwX1f2gYKZ4
Aww thank you! I feel like I have heard that song before! I added it to my playlist. Tell your wife I said thanks as well
