It's HARD to think of my loved ones in hell.

This is hard for me too. I don't offer my answer with a calloused heart or without considering how difficult it really is. But, I hope that in my own limited attempt to offer help you will find some wisdom and hopefulness. My answer will probably fall short but I am really just saying "wait" because the full revelation of the glory and goodness of God will answer this for you in due time.

I just loss my oldest daughter to murder/suicide, and then my oldest son to drug overdose Fentynal within two months apart. People tell me, OH you'll see them in Heaven, but I don't know that, and what thier walk with Jesus truly was. But like Job, I will never doubt the will, way, and purpose of God. So I keep my eyes on Jesus, not looking to the left, or right, and keep running the good race, and fighting the good fight. For I know my faith in Jesus the size of a mustard seed, will move my mountains, and that same faith in Jesus, will help me overcome the obstacles along my journey that the Precious Lord has blessed me with AMEN.

I had zero Christian influences in my life. God still found me. God loves them deeply and is pursuing them in His love. Pray for them. Plant seeds. Trust the work of the Holy Spirit.

I was a Catholic but I had never truly understood Jesus until last year. I am turning 50 this year and I am now saved. I don’t belong to a church, I didn’t have anyone speak to me about Jesus but the Holy Spirit came in to my heart and the vail was removed. All I can say is if you seek him you will find him. Jesus is the truth the way and the life.

“Pray without ceasing” “ask and you shall receive” “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” My suggestion is, everytime you think about that unsaved person, you pray. And remember nothing moved God without faith, so believe that God who created everything can do anything!

I was a lone sheep too. That was 30 years ago. God has done so much in my entire family. Trust him. He knows your heart.

[lorimcgrath]

I can relate, but be encouraged. The thief on the cross next to Jesus was saved in his final hours. Stay faithful in prayer. 🙏🥰

This is probably the best I’ve heard on the topic. My father died two years ago in November and I honestly never thought I would survive his death if he ever died outside of Christ.

He was an alcoholic most of my life. He was abusive and I remember as a child just praying to have my dad. To have a real dad.

My dad got sober. And I prayed he’d get saved. I prayed. I shared my testimony with him. I did my best to navigate his sobriety and disbelief with my childhood trauma and foundation in Christ.

Dad never came to Christ. And I am blessed to know Gods mercy was upon him in this life. He got sober. We had ten great years. My three kids never knew the angry drunk he used to be. Only the most amazing grandpa they mourned losing.

God is my true father. He has sustained me through it all and the thing I thought I could never get passed is one I can now accept. Do I understand it all fully? Nope. But we don’t know anything fully. We’re not God.

But He is good. He is just. And whether He calls out family members out of their sin isn’t up to us but we still do what we can with hope and trust Him with the rest in all things.

My husband recently told me he no longer thinks he’s a believer. We’ve had some hard years. So right now I truly am the only believer on both sides of my family (aside from our 12 year old who professes faith, please pray for her)

But I appreciate you’re channnel brother and your your thoughts. They have helped me through so much the last few years.

My unsaved loved ones are on my mind daily. It is hard to have joy when you are so aware of this.

[alyssadye]

Mike, I am fairly new to your channel but I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I’m a new born Christian two months ago after growing up Jehovah’s Witness. None of my family are believers and I am distraught at the thought of them being in hell. I’m trying to teach them the correct gospel of Jesus Christ but I’m also trying to trust gods will. Your videos make me feel comforted. I had a hard time trusting pastors and other religions because I didn’t know what to believe. It’s all so clear to me now, and your videos helped immensely, thank you!!

[elainek]

Wow, my heart is wrenching for my loved ones, and the thought of hell for them has been making me almost unable to function. But you’re so right … God is good, just, holy and loving. He loves my loved ones even more than I do. So much He sacrificed His own beloved Son to save them. I trust in His sovereignty. Thank you Mike.

[melissab]

Good question! My heart also hurts for all my unsaved friends and family. My 22 year old moved out behind our backs, cut us out of her life and also told us she is not a christian but that she had “tried to be”. When I think of what awaits her if she doesn’t come to faith, it definitely makes me cry. I pray for her daily to come to faith. I was able to share the gospel with my 93 year old Grandmother and she came to faith 2 months before she died. One thing that has helped me a lot this year is seeing the betrayal of humanity toward God from the very first pages of Genesis. And tracing that thread through the entire bible. It brings me to tears. His judgment is right and true… and he is so full of grace and mercy, and patience for us to come to faith, yet we don’t deserve it. Praying for all the hearts that are hurting over unsaved friends and family. God bless ❤

My daughter has openly blasphemed God in the worst way. Im devastated and heartbroken. Praying God's mercy on her 💔😭 if you can all lift up a prayer for her please. Thank you

"We are setting ourselves up as the 'judge of God.'" Exactly. Well said.

[Eternal_Hope_Q]

I feel this.
I came to Christ in 2016... seemingly out of nowhere (it was in a particularly hellish personal trial).
My whole family was atheist and I was in the new age.
8 years later and my son is 7 years in Christ, my husband is 4 years in Christ, my daughter is 3 years in Christ, my other daughter is 1 year in Christ.
My parents and brother are still not at all interested but they see the way the Holy spirit has healed each of us in fundamental ways and it's making (particularly) my mum think 🤔
My heart is for the not yet saved, my prayers are for all my friends and family that can't yet see or hear or know the love and redemption of Jesus 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[gabymeyer]

I got saved while still a Catholic, and my Catholic family couldn't stand it. My mother in particular never lost an opportunity to make jibes. Towards the end of her very long life, she allowed me to pray regularly with her. I left Catholicism but my parents and sister remained. I trust in God's mercy for their salvation. No one else in my family is a Christian, including my son who abandoned the faith when people tried to get him to speak in tongues. It is heartbreaking, but I keep on praying. At age 74, I wonder if there will be any breakthrough in my lifetime, but God is sovereign.

I'll add there is grace upon grace for mental health disordered folks who have had their identities stripped bare to raw pain. We serve a loving, compassionate Father.

[mmonroe]

I feel for this person’s pain. I felt the same way for my daughter for years. I prayed in pain all the time. In my prayers, I felt His Spirit lead me to know that He loves her more than I do. Keep praying. Trust God. His timing is different than ours. Continue to be the light for your family. By the way…my daughter now follows Christ & is growing in her faith 🙏❤✝️.

Not *ever* doubting God's goodness. Just grieving their hardness of heart towards Him... 😥

[SofaEaterLovesYou]

Thanks. I needed to hear this. I have seen the Light of the Lord in my life. He has driven back into school, Bible school, of which I am learning so much about his word. I share my thoughts and inspirations with my family who are supportive and loving but still have their hearts hardened towards Christ. I have wept many a time for their souls and know in my heart that the Lord is just. Yet, to be consoled in this manner truly brings warmth to where despair was taking hold.

[mikewood]

Speaking solely for myself…and losing a newborn 3 weeks after being born and doubting Gods “goodness”, was an indictment of my self serving ego.
Our greatest victories, come from our hardest struggles, and lowest moments.
God is God and…..we’re not.
