I am so thankful for this message 🙏 God meant for me to hear this. I just told my husband that I feel alone and hopeless. Pastor Joel just gave me the steps to follow. My mom was in a nursing facility for 6 1/2 years before she passed in January 23. I still feel it twisting my insides... While trying to hold marriage together, while raising 2 children, while trying to work. I'm a huge mess. Thank you Pastor Joel and Seacoast 🙏

Also consider that you can always pray for water, or in this case, an answer to relieve your pain. God can send you water but He can’t force you to drink it. Medication is the same. We don’t give the glory to the medicine but to God for making it possible to use it in order to ease the burden of the cross that we must bear in this world. Amen
