Two weeks ago my 14 year old little dog became very ill, I was facing end of life choices. I cried out to our GOD, And came to peace with what ever happened. She had bronchitis and is wonderful.. she has a heart condition…. But I know GOD has given me peace to enjoy her last years. What GOD has done for me He will do for you in any situation you are facing right now

[rebaonemanyaps]

Trusting God is so challenging but what I can assure every person reading here that when you trust God during that situation you think that it's too big it moves God to step in. I have seen God step into what I thought victory is impossible here.

[sharonzornes]

I have been suffering with anxiety, insomnia and depression for several months. I know God is in control. I want to feel God's peace again. I am trusting him. I have cried out to him so many times, and know that He is Sovereign. I just want to be able to function so I can serve him.

I prayed 10 years for my husband to stop drinking... he wasn't an abusive drinker, but it wasn't good for him. Nothing I said worked. I'm the believer. My husband is not. God put an ill family member in his path...it shook he's been sober 2 years. God answered my prayer... in his time and in his way. He healed a nonbeliever b/c a believer loves/trusts Him. God works in mysterious ways.
Oh....I also had to wait 10 years for a puppy....I now have a wonderful dog ❤

We are now waiting for my husband to get a job after being laid tik tik 😁✝️

[gingerpatriot]

I am just recently finding my way back to God. I've been away for over 15 years. This is my first sermon to hear in about 20 years. It was very relevant and hit hard.❤

[jenniferleviseedegraw]

I’ve been battling depression and panic attacks for months now. There isn’t a day I don’t cry out to God. I trust my savior. I know he hears me. I know this is a season and I know my abba will heal me. I feel I have touched the fire and days are weary. With him with me I walk and I keep fighting the flames. My savior saves.

[OpenMikeKnight]

God is going to make me so strong. I got this. Thank you Jesus.

[nadiaglasner]

My son is incarcerated and I pray for a good outcome so I'm trusting God for his favor over my son.
