    Struggling with loneliness and the fact that no one in my family is saved other than me. My dad is my best friend and I couldn’t stand spending the rest of eternity without him. My mom is beyond lost but I try to pray for her too. I just hope that people out there who are raised in good Christian homes are grateful to know that they will never be separated from their loved ones. I am alone already, and without my dad I’d have no one. I am going to try and witness to him this weekend, please pray for him. God bless you all

    Philippians 4:6-7. “DO NOT be anxious about ANYTHING….” Whenever you’re scared remind yourself that that is NOT God talking to you. 1 John 4: 18 “there is no fear in love” just keep praying, I’m sure God hears your cries ask.. there the parable of the persistent widow, it talks about how a mean judge wouldn’t listen to her but he ended up helping her out because he was so annoyed of her persistence, Jesus uses that as an example saying if that judge of bad heart would help, why wouldn’t God if he hears every one of their children.. ask and you shall receive ! Matthew 21:22. God bless you!

    I’m sick and tired of cheating on God with the world. When I first got saved (2020) I was reading my Bible every morning, even making sure to wake up early to do Scripture writing and reading. Now I read fanfiction, listen to music, watch videos, play games on my phone and scroll through YT and IG and can literally FEEL and HEAR the Holy Spirit telling me to come back to God and sometimes it’s like I’m powerless to do it. Please brothers and sisters, pray for me. I hate the old me and I don’t want to go to Hell but I also want to develop a closer relationship with God through Christ

    I second this. I was also saved in 2020. Last couple of weeks have been especially hard, but the last two years I’ve been bouncing back and forth with backsliding and repentance. I have spent nights weeping and begging for help. I think you and I need a lot of intercessory prayer to couple our own endeavors of praying for ourselves and standing tall to strive for our closer walk with Jesus. I am adding you to my daily prayer list… my heart and spirit are with you with utmost sympathy. May God bless you and encourage and strengthen you, beloved. ✝️❤️🙏🏻

The thing I have learned most is even though I have fallen and I have backslidden and I have such shame that I am not doing what I should’ve been doing is to start to start now get back into it read your Bible pray, pray pray, pray several times a day many times a day, and then find a church and then make friends with somebody in the church and go to breakfast go to lunch you’ve got this you can do this you know that God has your back and he wants for you, so please do not feel lonely, God loves you get out find a church you are loved.

    I’ve been realizing lately that I stopped reading the bible and praying and started to binge watch Netflix and was always on social media and playing games and for a second I felt sooo far away from God, I fell into temptation and I thought that God wouldn’t forgive me so I gave up, I started to hurt myself physically and emotionally, Guilt kept running in my head, But everywhere I turned I felt like God was looking after me I felt God was sending me messages ( I even got a message from my a Pastor that I asked if I could get baptized a while ago and he replied and said yes! ) and signs that he wasn’t mad at me, He never left me, Yesterday I started to read my bible again and pray again, But felt like I wasn’t doing enough and I’m so glad I found this, Right when I open youtube this came up and I definitely learned something new, Thank you God for the blessing and for you’re guidance. When I was 15 I wanted to party and drink and smoke and do all kinds of stuff, Im 17 now and all I want is to be able to have a relationship with God and to make it stronger than ever before and to be able to guide my family and everyone else around me, God Bless Everyone! I love you all! ❤️❤️

Im proud of my steps to rid myself of sinful life styles but recently I’ve been feeling empty inside. Like I’m lonely but I don’t wanna speak to anyone.

    Please don't go back. Ask God for help in any temptation. 1. Don't expose yourself to situations where you might be tempted 2. If tempted to sin, run from there. Move away. (As Jospeh did) 3. Pray to God for His strength and protection. 4. Direct yourself to other spiritual matters that can help you grow more in your relationship with Christ and serve other people in their need. 5. Know that the boundaries that God sets is for our absolute good. God is our Father and He never says no for the things He sees is good for us. When I am tempted to sin, I remember that His commands for me is because of His absolute love for me and that He knows that I will be most happy and most satisfied when I walk according to His will for me. One of the verses that help me is Proverbs 23: 17,18. Also, this video may help kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y5x9uaagcpnXm6g.html.. Its the video about right repentance. God bless 😇😇. Peace to you.

    Hey there, I’m a sister in Christ who also loves to read and write. I’m sorry you went through so much trauma, and glad that the Lord has helped you heal. May I ask: why did you write the poems you did? Were you trying to indulge in your negative feelings, to vent and always feel negative all the time, without change? Or were you trying to work through your complicated, negative feelings, because you didn’t know how to? I think it’s important to remember God made art as part of His good creation, as a means to glorify Him and not ourselves. James 1:17 says that every good and perfect gift comes from above, and that includes the ability to create art. Don’t forget also, King David, the man who ran after God’s heart, loved writing poetry too. Go and read the Psalms, and you’ll see he was actually filled with a lot of negative feelings too (Psalm 22), with pain and anger and very questionable phrases. But at the end of his ranting, David didn’t just wallow, but he gave his emotions to God, and praised God as always being good, his light and his salvation. (Psalm 23, 27, 103, I could go on) I don’t know how much your poetry was truly separating you from God, only you can answer that. But I just felt like encouraging you, that if you think art or expressing your trauma and pain through art is inherently sinful or makes God angry: it doesn’t. God made you beautifully and wonderfully, He makes us all unique, and maybe poetry is the gift He gave you to express yourself. I encourage you that if you still love poetry, perhaps you should give it to God, and show Him how He can use your love for His glory, and not your own. Feeling lonely, hurt, or any other negative emotion is not a sin. Feelings are not sins - it’s our actions based upon them that are sinful or not. And God wants to hear all your hurts so He can heal you and lift the burden from your shoulders, as you’ve no doubt experienced (Matthew 11:28-30). And lastly, remember what sacrifice is for. It’s not about being “extreme enough” so that God will consider you worthy. If your sacrifice is motivated by being afraid God won’t love you, or accept you, or think you’re good enough, that’s the wrong motive, and a lie from Hell. God loves you so much, He’s already taken all your sin and pain on the cross in exchange for a life with Him. Your sacrifice should be from a desire to draw near to Him, to know His heart more - not to punish yourself or think that God is trying to make you miserable. Jesus loves you, and in Him we have the greatest joy and an abundant life. (John 10:10) I can’t tell you what to sacrifice, but know that I’m praying for you too, and Jesus is always with you.

    We are just passing through on this earth, on our way to our eternal home with the Lord. This is why we feel empty in this world, like something’s missing, because God put eternity in our hearts for a reason. That hole within our soul can ONLY be filled with one thing, and that’s Jesus, and that’s how He created us, because He wants us to rely on Him so He can help us and show us more. It’s ok to wrestle with doubt. Look at the people in the Bible who doubted: most of the time they were the ones who got to experience the most incredible miracles! It’s okay to ask God why, and to wrestle with questions. He’s big enough to have the answers. Keep asking, keep seeking. You will find exactly what He’s leading you to because he loves you ❤️

For years I've battled myself to draw closer. Then it come to me. I've the best condition to always have God. By doing nothing about my condition I force myself to pull God to me. I need something or so I thought. I just needed God as I always have since a little boy. Now I find myself no longer the same person. Instead of video games I listen to KJV audio. I watch movies and shows revolving around God. In the end I am settled better now then any meds or pot could ever do. I love you Jesus I thank you so very much.

    Solitude, every morning in the back yard with God and my dogs. Giving thanks for the day is always first. After prayer, and playing with the dogs, it's Bible study time for 1/2-1hr. Grow in sacrifice is difficult. I've redirected hobby money to the Lord's work for Israel, but I need to do more. Grow in service, I'm a grumpy old veteran who's avoided contact with people, but even I have found ways to spread the joy of the Lord in my few interactions with people I meet and deal with. It's wonderful to make someone's day a little bit better and brighter!

    Regarding prayer time, I also recommend the following: 1. If you will be praying indoors, have a special place to pray, which you design/decorate suitably to encourage a spirit of prayer. For example, by a window where you can look at the sky as you pray, or in a quiet corner where you can have Scripture art on the wall of your favourite Bible promises. 2. Per the above, pray the Scriptures! I have heard so many testimonies from Christians whose prayer lives really took off when they started praying the Word of GOD, whether just praying over their daily reading, or claiming particular Bible promises. It's been very meaningful for my husband and I as well. 3. Involve as many senses as possible. Listen to instrumental hymns, light a scented candle that you only use during prayer/devotional times, drink a special herbal tea, etc. This is also where the suggestion in the video to journal comes into play! 4. Be wise about technology. My husband likes to have the laptop during his devotions so that he can use tools like e-Sword. If I involve technology at all, it is only for things that don't require an internet connection (e.g. music or searching for a Bible passage). Any gadget with an internet connection is automatically a distraction, so I avoid them. 5. Don't be afraid to take brief breaks if you, like me, struggle with drowsiness or distractions. Make the break part of the prayer time by continuing to talk with GOD as you get up to move around for a bit. If something pops into your mind that seems important, but isn't relevant to your time with GOD, jot it down in a little notebook just for distracted thoughts. Then, you can let them go and get back to your prayer. 6. Intercede for others. Prayer gets real stale if you just pray for the same personal issues day after day. Pray for others instead! This will become especially easy if you are doing Step 3 of this video. 7. Combine fasting with your prayers, wherever possible-especially when dealing with difficult sacrifices (Step 2) or are interceding for someone else for a big thing (e.g. their salvation or a terminal illness).

    I’ve had the same addictions smoking drinking and doing all these things, it was something that was easy for me to let go of. However I did have a sin I struggled with and would cry and repent and fast and I would be free, then I became comfortable thinking I was free forever and strong on my own, a month would pass by and I eventually ended up being tempted by the enemy again, and I would fight for a little while on my own strength until I couldn’t no more, and it’s because I relied on my own strength and not on Gods. The word says to break chains we must fast, I usually go 6am-12pm, blocking out everything and meditating on God only through prayer, reading his word, and watching preachings (mainly billy graham, but be careful who you watch) try to do these things if you truly want to let these things go, read Gods word and know him better, smoking is definitely a sin. It isn’t pure, or holy. And everything against God is sin. Allow God to purify you, submit yourself and fight!!! It’s not worth it, trust me I’ve struggled but I’ve overcame because I maintained myself praying and fasting and reading his word. Very very important to keep in communion with God to not fall into temptation. Ask God to let go of the desires and learn to pray more and more!!! God will break the chains, I am a living testimony, if God can liberate me he can do the same with you, the word of God says we are all tempted with the same things, we all have weaknesses learn to know when the enemy (demons and the devil) are coming to tempt you and fight in prayer and the sword which is the word of God!

    Lately the Lord has been telling me to just come and sit with Him. Not to try to get to Him. Praying in tongues is 👍. One day the Lord told me to sit down and to shut up, don't pray or sing , just sit there and close my eyes. So I did and I got a vision of my mom and I in my living room coming together and hugging. Now my mom went Home to the Lord and few years ago and I was not good with my mom. And it bothered me. The Lord had told me in my prayer time that mom now knows why I did what I did. But it still bothered me. Since I get a lot of dreams and visions ... the Lord told me that. After that vision, it has never bothered me again ‼️ GOD IS FAITHFUL ‼️ For those who are questioning this: NO MY MOM DID NOT COME BACK TO LIFE, IT WAS GOD THAT CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH RELATING TO ME IN A WAY I WOULD ABSORB IT ❗

    Gave up playing video games yesterday. I gathered every console and game, then sold them at my local GameStop. Gave away my amiibos. When I started getting serious about my relationship with God, i completely quit watching porn and submitted all of my sexually immoral thoughts to the cross. I quit masturbating indefinitely. It was excruciatingly difficult, but God helped me put my sins to death. I still get tempted now and then, but I recite Scripture just as Jesus did to ward off temptation. Afterwards, I come to God in prayer. My next step is to control the things I eat and how much I eat. When i was deeply depressed (which is when i kickstarted my walk with the Lord) i got hooked on junk food. Now it has become a crutch for me. Ive spent so much money on fast food and find it so hard to break this habit. Ive gained a lot of weight and am now the heaviest I've ever been at 277 lbs. It is time to deny my gluttonous cravings and take care of my body, for it is God's temple. I'm trying to take things one sacrifice at a time. Ive made it my mission to read the Bible and pray daily and I aspire to increase in learning and in faith. Denying oneself is not easy by any means, but we must fully rely on God who helps us bear our struggles and temptations. Despite my shortcomings, God is so gracious and merciful that He would save me from my captivity to sin and my bonds to hell. It is not by good deeds that we earn favor with Him, but by His grace alone

    This video just came across my home page at a time when I've been trying to rekindle my faith and have recently become extremely discouraged. After a 40 year walk with Christ, that's been a rollercoaster ride to say the least, I've been consumed with doubt, I feel that my back and forth over the years with the world than with Christ has ended in a disaster of faith for me. Then this video pops up offering anointed advice on overcoming myself, doubt, discouragement and drawing closer to the Lamb without blemish. Over the last year or so, my social media accounts have become loaded with praise and worship artists, pastoral teachings and digital missionaries. So it stands to reason that KZread's algorithms would have naturally tossed your channel my way. But this particular video from 11 months ago at this particular time in my life has the God of creations fingerprints all over it .

    Also i found it helpful, when we like fall, or messed. Seek Him still, let Him see, have all your messed up being. He already know all of us, our imperfection, our flaws, bad habit . Just dont ran away from Him, instead ask for His forgiveness, 1 John 1:9 if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness .and dont say to yourself i shouldn't do this sin instead have a goal, whats advantages do i have from doing this sin?, Im supposed to pursuing hollines, i have to keep going. And pray so that God's desire became yours

    For someone who wants to grow in the Lord, I think there's a strong element of fellowship needed. People thrive in families, even naturally speaking. The devil hunts and takes advantage of people without guidance. It's not to say that the holy spirit cannot teach and guide you, many times be does. But when we have been given the opportunity to belong to a family of believers who would teach us, correct us, protect us, exhort and edify us, God expects us to maximise every opportunity. My advice? Find a local church that teaches the truth and become a part of it. Keep Christian friends especially if you're young in the Lord. There's safety and sanity in the BODY of Christ Proverbs 27:17 [17]Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another. Hebrews 10:24-25 [24]and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, [25]not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
