Very weak and troubled....

[GodWithUs]

Hi everyone,

May you pray for me? I'm losing myself. I currently facing personal and academic problems. I'm praying, yes, for His guidance, but demons are trying to rule over me. Like yesterday, I humiliated a train station officer because of my hotheadedness. She was only trying to help, but I saw things the other way around... Sigh. I will try to go find her later and apologize. Please pray that I be able to say sorry.

I feel and I think that nothing is going well for me now, particularly in school. I feel dumb and left behind somehow, not the usual me. I know this is not true and I shouldn't be envious of others, I know God gave each and every person in this world something good to do each day, it's just that its difficult to place this in heart and mind and in actions all the time. Please pray that I may focus on God and my God given tasks each day.

Thanks in advance and God Bless you always.

Nico

Father send your peace in Jesus Name.
Nico you sound like you need 2 things:
1. A break- do something different for a couple of days.
2. A different view of the situations you are in.
Looking at a problem in front of you it may look big. Mount up on eagles wings and soar to the heavens; looking down it will surely seem small. Can you even imagine heavens perspective on this?
I know you are praying and I am praying for you, do not give up. Have more faith in God than your problems.
Take each step believing He is empowering you and receive that power by faith. Walk in His strength not your own.
When we are tired, irritated, burned out, stressed, etc these are sure signs we are trying to live in our own strength and that my friend is something you were never created to do.

Thanks brother Larry. Yes I will do these things and focus more on God than my problems. Thank you so much and God Bless you always

You are welcome my friend. Do not be discouraged but understand that this breaking will be used for His glory. When we get to the end of ourselves; when we are most dependent on Him then He is most glorified in our lives.

Dan 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

When we learn to really let go and trust Him we can see that all things really do work for the good and it becomes easy to trust Him with everything.
Where else do your burdens belong but at the foot of His cross?
Who else should your heart run to but the One you love?
We are called to "know the love of God that passes all understanding", that will only come as we sit at His feet and receive revelation through His Spirit.
We as a species tend to get it backwards:
We tend to cram everything in and give Him what is left.
What is needful is to give Him all then to move with the cloud by day and the pillar by night. Not one step without Him at it's very center.
He is afterall the source of our strength, joy, peace, wisdom, love and life.
I am praying for you now.
Much love and many blessings in His Name,
your brother Larry.

Thanks for that verse brother Larry. I'll remember this in mind and heart as I go through this term, and always. GBY.
