Tonight I’m sharing some last thoughts related to the video podcast I posted yesterday on suicide, personal missions and faith. You can watch it here. I know, I know. When it comes to the Come Follow Me study guide we’re meant to be moving on to Romans. But the end of Acts has so much good stuff! And this is one of my favorite topics: Faith in hard times.
Basically, I have a few one-liners that bring me some comfort, hope and faith when I face hard times. Thinking these with hope can help my faith stay strong anyway.
We all have times that we arenβt super happy or grateful about our situation, our trials, our body, our family, our home, our callings, our progress or lack thereofβ¦I could go on, but I think we all get it. While God wants to bless us, He also wants to see us become our best selves which means giving us space to fall, fail and with faith, rise up stronger.
Or to have a more humble or compassionate attitude.
It doesn’t mean we’ll have all the answers, but we’ll have enough for that next breath and baby step. That’s why it still takes faith to get through hard things.
I hope these thoughts can help you hold on when times are hard,and become even more beautiful and rich with experience for making it through the hard times!
Try on a few of these thoughts and see how you feel. I hope and pray you can feel Christ close!
Iβd love to hear your hopeful thoughts too! What helps you?
Last week I said I would share a story about a time I tried taking my life.
Here it is. And why Iβm still here. And a song. You can watch it on my new channel on YouTube by clicking here. Be sure to subscribe to the new Feel Like Christ channel for the latest content! (I’ll be switching all my Lift Like Christ videos over there!)
For 3 years Iβve wanted to have a scripture podcast, but I wasnβt sure what the focus should be or how I should do it or how to make the time.
Well, tonight I stopped trying to make my recording perfect or my house perfect or my face perfect or my plan perfect before I started.
This is you and me sitting in my room talking about real pain and real hope through a simple story, scripture and song.
I hope it helps you know that you are NEVER alone, that we ALL are needed and that miracles STILL happen. I am literal living proof of that.
So please be patient with yourself and with God.
He ALWAYS stand by you and will help you fight your battles.
βI believe in second chances, even third and fourth.β
If you think this could help someone, plz Like and Share the hope! Till next time, here are the song lyrics. I hope they help you remember not to quit. With God, you can do anything.
