    My mom passed away in late May of this year from brain cancer after battling it for 7 years. She listened to Charles Stanley almost every day since she got saved back in 2004. I got saved last October and finally got to fellowship with her these last handful of months. I just want to thank God for his promise of eternal life through my savior Jesus Christ, because I get to see my mom again in Heaven!

    This was a very difficult sermon for me to listen to. And to be honest, when this sermon popped-up in my recommendations, I saw the title and instantly became irritated and angry. I've been going through some extremely difficult situations that have lasted for days, weeks, months and yesrs. At least 1 hour went past before I decided to listen to the late Dr. Charles Stanley's sermon. I grabbed my Bible and followed along with Dr. Stanley in Philippians chapter 4: 6-12. What he said makes sense: 1. See the situation as coming from God. 2. Obey God in this situation. 3. Trust God in this situation. 4. Draw from God in this situation. And that's exactly what Paul did and that's how he was sincerely and truly content in his circumstances. Regardless of the circumstances. Jesus, give me the desire and courage to do 1 through 4. Amen.

    100% feel the same. Stanley has helped me go through one of the most difficult times in my life. I am seeing the light come but impatience sometimes get to me so much it makes me feel unhappy and paralyzed. I pray to feel contentment as i am waiting for things to turn around for me.
