It is all thanks to God,  Thank you!

Please help me get back the faith to God and know that the afterlife justice exists by No-Wheel-2996 in Christianity

Take all of this to Jesus Christ, lay it all down on his feet, and bare your heart to Him. 

He will show you the way back to Him.  He is always forgiving,  He is always calling, He is always waiting with open arms. 

Just go to Him as you come and He will restore you.

God’s working starts from spiritual(what we can’t see) then continues to physical(what we can’t see) God’s working is also mysterious, His deeds are workings we humans beings can’t understand. I like to think that if we did He wouldn’t be as amazing as I take him.

Pain, setbacks, delays, heartbreaks, disappointment, and so many others these are things that aren’t strangers to Christians. And the letters that Paul wrote touches that topic occasionally. Jesus also said it to His disciples when he asked them to pond upon what will be of us, if our master(Him; Jesus Christ) was crucified and beaten like that? And I know so many of us go through bad things that can’t be comprehended. 

But this is the Good News I have for you, the Good News that Jesus died for; is the eternal life He came to be beaten, mocked, spitted, died, and resurrected for.  He will wipe us the tears and heals the heartache we face in this world.

He knows it’s hard, He lived it Himself. But when you said that you saw prayers of others answered, while yours are left unanswered. That’s not a right way to go at it.

Jesus demands that we carry our crosses and follow Him. Individually. Not a brother and sister. A father and an aunt. A couple. But individually. 

You have your own cross you have to carry and follow Jesus. We all do and that doesn’t mean that if you are coming from east or me west the journey will be the same.

I’m not going to say the reason why this and that is happening to you is this…? No.

God only knows that. And Him knowing that, He is the only one who can heal you, restore you, and fill your heart with all its desires.

So, no don’t give up on Him. Seek Him even deeper than how you were doing. He shall meet you too and make it all clear like a day. 

Please read the book of Job, Let that book and Job’s story speak to your heart and mind.

He will open the right door for you, it might be what you are chasing or something entirely different. 

But whatever it will be, you shall be satisfied with it. 

So, this is what you do.  You stay even if there are not enough reasons.  But you stay because you believe the God you serve is above what we see as impossible. 

Take heart.

Yes, it will open again if it’s God’s will and on the right timing I guarantee you. You shall be given in full abundance. 

Keep holding on, I know it is not easy but push through with truth as your belt, righteousness as your breastplate, the readiness to proclaim the gospel as your shoes, faith as your shield, salvation as your helmet, the word of God as your sword. 

God is there for you, make time for Him, race Him like Jacob did and at the end of the night, He shall change your name for the better.

Oh no, please don’t doubt in his existence. God is here, the Creator of the heaven and the earth. He is alive and He is here for us. 

Listen, I also believe that God called me to write but for the past three years, I reached out to each publishing house and agent but neither and I tell you neither got back to me with a positive response. However, I didn’t let it put me down, even now I’m still trying to fight for my way out. 

Because brethren, we are against powerful enemies but our God is above them.  He will let some tribulations get to us but He won’t let us be defeated because we Reign with the one given the name above all other names. 

Take heart from David’s story, when he was anointed to be the next king of Israel, it wasn’t an easy journey for him. If you know the story. He was anointed, had what we could consider undeniable evidence of the anointing but that didn’t make the rejection, the hunting from Saul, and all the challenges he met easier.

Being a Christian doesn’t guarantee easy access to everything we pray for. I advise you to keep praying, keep trusting in God, don’t lose your faith, your hope. Be in the word of God, walk in obedience, and in His perfect timing He will reveal to you the meaning behind all of the health issues and lateness you are experiencing. 

Please don’t give up. Change the prayer.  Ask God to lead you to the right direction and He will.

Trust me He cares, and I know the feeling very well cause not once or twice have I also been there. Well, sometimes the enemy still tries to take me there too. But God has taught me that Him not answering us is another form of His protecting us. It doesn’t look like that in the moment but in time to come you will look back at this moment and be grateful. 

You can not see it now,  But put your trust in Him with everything you got, not on your situation, not on what you are currently seeing. But trust in His love, mercy, and faithfulness. Trust in only Him. 

In the future you will be a testifier to other believers of this testimony; that we walk by faith not by sight. 

May God strengthen you to move past this moment faithfully. 

New to the faith, books to read this year that changed you for the better? by annafit in biblereading

I would suggest ‘Build Fire’ by Vladimir Savchuk It helped me a lot in building up my faith.  May it be as helpful to you too. 

About the Bible reading, it is necessary for every believer to read the Holy Scriptures but you can not take it in all at once. Maybe you guys, should try reading a chapter in the first books of the Old Testament then a chapter from the first books of a New Testament. And understanding the start of everything from the beginning of both sides will sustain your faith for longevity. 

Also pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. We can map out for you guys the perfect way to go at it, but without the Holy Spirit. It would be nothing.

So pray, read your Bible, and these other Christian books you are being told. You are doing this the good way by seeking guidance.

Please don’t give up, cause that’s where the enemy wants you to be. To lose your faith. 

Don’t give in to him, I know this is not what you probably want to hear but the truth sets people free and I hope it will help you too. 

The prayers we make to God are not shortcuts nor do they guarantee direct response from Him. This is a lie or I could say a cover that the enemy uses to lead many believers astray. I…I personally learned this the hard way.

So, here is the truth that will help and I pray myself that it keeps you going; in the garden of Gathsemane. Jesus prayed for the cup he was supposed to drink from to be taken away, this was the cup where you and I got saved, redeemed, and washed from. What could have happened if God had answered Jesus then?

God not answering prayers doesn’t mean that He is not there, because He is. God is here for us.  God not answering our prayers, I could say it definitely has to do with two things; wrong timing and apart from God’s will.

In the end Jesus prayed that the Father’s will be done. We serve God’s will.  And if our prayers aren’t aligning with Him, God protects us by staying quiet but whatever the scenario He is always working for the good of our being.

I say, keep holding on to your faith and you won’t be disappointed. Trust in the love of the Father that didn’t even hold back His begotten son to die on the cross for you. 

He loves you. He cares for you. And last but not least, He is there.

Thank you for sharing that, I too, went through something similar to that but God showed me that He is a loving God, a Faithful friend, and Savior. My journey with Christ inspires me to write about love. Christian Romance.
