My only Son was murdered on 10/26/2018. When I returned to work 2weeks later. I was in the elevator and a coworker got in and said, “where have you been I haven’t seen you, ” I told him about my Son. His hug felt as though it was from my Son. Shortly after arriving at my desk he emailed me this song and I played it all day with tears streaming down my face and I’ve never stopped listening to this song to this day because it carried me through that day of returning to work. Thank you God for Angels even on my job. This song is very Powerful. Now I know how God felt when His Only Son died on the cross. It’s Hurts but though you slay me yet will I trust you! ❤

I was so lost.
The woman I loved
No longer loved me. After nearly 5 years of faithfulness she didn’t love me anymore.
I was struck with unbearable spasms and back pain that made it almost impossible to move. I was jobless and depressed and in constant inescapable pain.
I chose to get drunk and wanted to drive off the freeway; off a cliff and die, but as I let go of the wheel of my truck going 70+miles an hour my truck kept going straight as I cried out to God “this hurts”, and the song “Lord, I need You” came on Pandora.
I felt the comfort of Jesus all around me, reminding me that the kid He saved at 15 years old wasn’t out of His sight. He never left me.
After all these years of fornication, drunkenness and sin the Lord didn’t abandon me.
I died that day, and came alive in Christ.
Now I preach the Gospel of Jesus to people all over the world.
No amount of pain is meaningless
GOD is greater and He cares for you far more than you could ever imagine ❤️🙏🏾

My 14 year old son went to be with The Lord 45 days ago. The Lord had never taken anything from me. Please pray for my family.

I am here on the sixth day of the Bible Recap Lord please carry me through and let me hear your voice

[peterwu]

For myself, I gladly sing this song - but for my dear family... I recall in my youth how one Friday night, my mother went off to church and left us alone at home with my father. I was sitting at the kitchen table and doing some school work. My father, who hadn't been feeling well that day, was listening to Christian radio. He pointed out a disagreement he had with the theology of the speaking - he was himself a minister. Shortly after this he sad down near me at the table and then a few moments later said a few words that I can't remember and slumped over. We boys, the oldest of whom was about 14 or 15 lost our dear father than night and the hardship and difficulty this brought into our family was immense. My mother, God rest her dear soul, had to raise 5 children alone. She did an excellent job and we were always provided for. However, the loss was immense. These days, as I hear this song and suffer with pain and uncertainty, I really only struggle with one thing. Father, please don't take me so early that I cannot raise my dear children. I don't want to do what my father did to his wife, leaving her with such a burden. Father, please have mercy. Take this bitter cup from me. Let psalm 91 be true oh, dear Lord. You are full of compassion and tender mercy. I believe you and today, though you have allowed great suffering, I do my utmost to trust you. You are good, no matter our blind eyes see. Encourage my heart I pray - for your glory. You have loved us, love us still.

We lost our 27 yr old son to suicide 6 months ago, June 17, 2023. He had battled severe depression that didn’t respond to any treatments. The darkness and pain overwhelm me most days but I am finally able to listen to praise music again and study scripture. I found this song today while studying Job. Thank you for this message of hope that is still helping people years later .

December will be a year that my daughter died. She was 5 months short from graduating high school. 2 1/2 months after she had passed, I was on the brink of ending my life, until the Lord showed up in my garage and regenerated me when I heard A pastor on YouTube say, Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God almighty, who was and is and is to come 3 times. I was born again that night and I have never felt more comfort and peace in my life. This song makes me weep uncontrollably. Not only did He save me from ending my life, He saved me from eternal damnation. Thank you, Lord Jesus my savior. I will praise You through all my sufferings in this world and am eternally greatful!

[terriswartz]

This was the last song I heard my son play and sing at church before he left this world to be in the loving arms of his Father. I feel that even though his death was unexpected it was his last words to my heart to never even on my darkest day quit loving God because He has not abandoned me.

Im only 16, I don't have many huge tragedies, my faith has had tests, but not like the loss of a child or parent. My heart aches for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ experiencing grief or tragedy. I can only hope that the Lord will use my future pain and experiences for His glory. I pray my experiences, and how I praised God through them can help aid me in sharing the gospel. Helping my brothers and sisters in Christ hopefully though being a christian counselor, or wherever else the Lord takes me. Praying for yall, I'm here if any of you need anything:)

I just lost my husband 4/1/17. I'm a widow at age 39 but worse...my children no longer have a Daddy at ages 12, 8, 7. But I will not look to what is seen, WE will focus on Jesus. We will not lose heart! We are reaching as many lost souls to plant as many seeds in their hearts as possible 🙌👣❤ We will praise Your Holy Name Father ❤

December 1st 2023, I had a massive Basilar artery stroke, and not expected to. Five days later, I walked out of the hospital. I had a vision of heaven and Jesus. God never leaves a situation negative. He takes affliction and tragedy and makes something positive from that...if we are His, and following Him. They said I should have died. He said, "Jeff Lives". They say, but He says...I am crying right now because I am praying for you, brother, sister, mom, dad, young man, young lady. Please, I beg you, come to Him; come back to Him, and lay it down. No matter where you are at, no matter what you've done, no matter what you've been through...He's waiting just for you. Amen 🙏

My best friend and husband of 20 years went home to be with the Lord 3 days ago. I miss him terribly, but oh the freedom and relief he has now after many years of suffering. ❤️

I lost my youngest brother to cancer this month. He was only 27. A brilliant man and aspiring clinician, halfway through medical school. More than that, he was my only brother. I miss him so much. This song speaks to my heart.

This is my 2nd go around the Bible Recap and wow! How different it is to read Jobs book. There are no coincidences with the lord. He knows what we need and delivers at the perfect time. I will praise you Lord, forever.

My one year old son went to be with the Lord this past Saturday. This song has been immensely encouraging. Yet will I see him again because of Christ!
