    I am struggling with letting go God please help me. To not be afraid and lay down my life and burdens to surrender control of my situation and uncertainty. I am depressed and ashamed and my thoughts are wild challenging self forgiveness of being sick mentally and physically. I need a new mind and clean heart. I need help and hope to trust God and to just be. God your will not mine be done in my life Amen

    ❤ Hi Julia, Thank you for your beautiful truth..❤ Your not alone.. I'm in this place now..We will be just fine.. We have to keep reading our Holy Bible, keep praying and talking to Jesus Christ .. My fears. And the devil's lie has kept me in bondage.. Thank you for letting me know. I'm not going through this alone. I'm better off not going to a therapist.. ❤😂❤ lol I'm talking to myself, and smoking air, fighting against my sins, and air smoking keeps me from being an emotional wreck..suicidal or just in depression all of my life. We are both learning May the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Heal us both..❤ We will submission ❤

    Ohh My.....God has really pushed me to a place where I have learnt to surrender to God. After being stubborn for years I love how pastor Stephanie puts it "making myself an idol" 😢 for years. Being refined and dying to my flesh is not easy at all. At the end of the day it comes down to not my will but yours be done.

    I am thrilled to share that my dream of owning my own trucks for my business has finally come true. I recently acquired two trucks, and I am delighted to say that earning $32,000 weekly has been incredibly beneficial. With this success, I am now in a position to give back to the local community and support the Church and the community..

    I am struggling in my faith.. some days I have it some days I don’t.. some days I believe on the promises and most days I just don’t.. it’s so hard for me to stop being in my flesh and not in the spirit and believing what God has already promised. Like I don’t know what I’m doing wrong man.. I’m so tied up in all of what life and what I’m going through that I can’t even focus on Jesus. Man I’m so ashamed and that makes me angry and then it makes me want to give up.. like what do I really do… I’m so overwhelmed that I can’t take it anymore. I just want all my problems to go away and that’s not gonna happen..

    I want to serve God in my life. There's so much for me to surrender. God knows me very well. I want to fully depend on him. I carry the burden yet I know I need to surrender to him. I had lots of expectations. I want to be identified by what God says I am. I have been living in fear of failure. Yet I know christ says I am more than a conqueror.

    Laurie is a minister of God, indeed, in Christ Jesus. She explains things in such an insightful way.💕 And the way Minister Stephanie led this conversation was so blessed for me. She is such a blessed teacher of God's Word. While I know the Lord's prayer by heart and pray the words often, the words we are saying to the Father, in Christ Jesus, have a deeper meaning.🌷 Like Stephanie and Chrystal said, the Lord Jesus will not always deliver us out of the situation, or heal the ailment. Oftentimes, He is walking with us or carrying us through the trial. Glory to God!!! This is another perspective that helps me understand my current circumstance better. Thanking and praising Father God, in Christ Jesus, for being with me through it all!!!❣❣❣ Surrendered to God, in Christ Jesus. Amen.🦋

    Think about this for a moment. We live in a fallen world, because this world has been cursed by God. Christ had told His disciples that SATAN is the god of this world. He also had forewarned them to NOT LOVE this fallen world and the corruptible THINGS that are in this world, because if they did, they would not have the LOVE of Christ dwelling within them. To put it in perspective, this WORLD is God's ENEMY!! Knowing that, why would a preacher tell his congregation that God's desire is to offer His children the WORLD? 😁.........and why would they foolishly BELIEVE it? Answer; they have been subconsciously indoctrinated into satanic a belief. It is Satan who offers professing Christians this world, not Christ! 📖 Matthew 4:9 📖 “All this I (Satan) will give you,” he said "if you will bow down and worship me.” 📖 James 4:4 📖 You (adulterous) people, don’t you know that friendship with the WORLD means enmity against God? Therefore, ANYONE who (chooses) to be a (friend) of the WORLD becomes an ENEMY of God. Even though some desperate people may (try) to love both their spouse and their side chick at the same time, it is unnatural to think that it CAN (truly) be possible to LOVE them both equally. If NO ONE is willing to put up with an adulterous relationship with their spouse, then why would we think that God would be willing to put up with one with us and this WORLD? He DOES NOT share!! Love you all ❤️🙏🏾🕊
