BGEA: I have one problem after another. Has God forgotten me?

I have one problem after another. Has God forgotten me?

We are sometimes at a loss to know why difficulty is permitted in our lives; however, God has not promised us lives of ease. As a matter of fact, God allows such things to happen that we might be awakened to our need to live in greater dependence upon Him, and in due time God will reveal His greater purposes in our lives.

We trust you will allow these trials to be a means of leading you to make a personal commitment of your life to Christ as Savior and Lord (Romans 4:5, Ephesians 2:8-9, and John 1:12) or of drawing you closer to Him. Then you will find that His comfort and love will more than meet your need; read Ephesians 3:20.

Never feel that God has forsaken you, for He is unchanging in His love and grace. The Bible says, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5b). Remember, His love is constant and everlasting, as God has revealed to us in the gift of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. May your faith be grounded in Christ Himself that you may know His will (James 1:5, 3:17).

No matter how much you sin, if you accept Jesus as your lord and saviour, he will forgive you no matter what! Every time! His love for us is overwhelming, if you ever feel guilty or worried or fearful pray and the lord will listen and comfort you. X

I am praying for you all. God has NOT forgotten us and NEVER will! He has given us hope for a future and he had made promises to us! The creator of the universe loves us all as much as he loved his son Jesus- isn't that amazing!!!

I thank God for all of you and your uplifting testimonies, for I thought I was alone and desperate, but I guess You all were put here for a larger purpose than you know. You have given me your trials and i SEE i AM NOT ALONE, I see I am not suffering alone. I thank God most of all for the Savior he sent you and I. He gives me a renewed spirit every day. I can't get enough of Jesus. He gives the will and desire to go on when I think all is lost, when all is just not going right. I know you all are a true blessing to someone out there, and today that was me!

I would like to share that, if we let him, Satan will decieve us. I was decieved by the man I married and spent 50 years in abuse, both physical and emotional. I was almost to the breaking point when God showed me how to be an overcomer! Through Jesus Christ and Him only can we overcome any hardship the enemy puts before us. Learning to forgive those that harm you in any way is the key to your own happiness. When you learn to truly forgive you can walk in the joy of the Lord. The Lord has become my strength and my solid rock. He now brings joy no matter what the enemy puts in my path. I can now thank God in every situation.

Anyone reading this, If you ever want encouragement when your life seems horrid, and like everything around you in falling apart, read the book of Job. Take it from me, As we speak, right now, Im under serious attack of the emeny! My parents and I are not only suffering one illness after another, my mom is a cancer survivor, and the cancer seems to try and creep back, and it worries my mom. so therefore worries me at times, I'm scraed I will lose my mom, my parents and me is all we have. just the 3 of us, and not only are we suffering physically, but mentally. We are so tired from horrible sleep problems lately, and bad dreams, but fearful thoughts of things happening. also, financially we are all 3 suddenly suffering. In times when we desprately need money. there is none! We are also suffereing from horrible people used of the devil to harm us, and cause distraction and more fear. but we keep clinging to Christ, reading his word. Then my mom's and my cars stop runnning, or somethiing breaks down and we can't afford to fix it right now. so one thing after another seeems to keep happening. but when I think of Job in the Bible, i rejoice. Job had it worse than me. but yet kept faithfully praising Jesus, never once thinkning God forgot about Him. Thats what satan wants. us to think God has forgtten about us, and abandoned us. If we think that and convince ourselves its true, satan has won. please read the Book of Job. It will quickly make you change your mind from thanking God.
