Beloved of God, Lately, there's been a lot of sadness, pain, and trauma in my life. Despite everything, I've never blamed my Lord Jesus for any of it, and I never will.
I guess this post is me reaffirming my faith and trust in the Lord. When I lost my parents and my brother in 2017, I never blamed God.
Even though I did not understand what was happening, I held my peace in His presence and trusted that He knows best. I said, "Let Your will be done in our lives, Lord."
I've been living as an orphan for over six years and have never complained to the Lord, no matter what hardships, loneliness or sadness I've endured. I have held my peace in His presence because I know God is not evil and does not derive pleasure from my pain.
He said in His word:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV
I have never accused the Lord or asked Him why my life has been full of so much sadness and trauma. Instead, I have strengthened myself in the Lord, picked myself up over and over again, and kept the faith.
I have continued to believe in the Lord and rest in the assurance that He is a good God. He has never failed me, not once, since I started consciously walking with Him.
I have kept the faith because my life isn't mine; it belongs to the Lord, and I exist solely for His glory and pleasure. I have held my peace and trusted in the Lord.
My Lord Jesus, my precious Father, my Lord Holy Spirit, you see my heart. You can search my heart, my thoughts, and my life, and bear witness that never once have I accused or blamed you for anything that has happened to me. I trust and believe in you.
However, I'm so afraid that my strength can't carry me anymore and I can't bear this burden alone. I am collapsing under the weight of all this sadness and trauma over and over again. Please help me, Lord.
Help me, Lord. I'm afraid I can't do this anymore. Please take all this pain and burden from my hands, and let your grace and mercy uphold me, Lord.
When I can't see the light, be my light, Lord. As my heart is breaking, be my strength and my sustainer, Lord.
I've been doing life alone for such a long time, and it's too lonely for me. I still struggle as to why I am still here, Lord.
Be my direction Lord.
And yet, Lord, my life is yours, and do with me whatever you will. Though you slay me, yet will I trust and praise you because you're all I have in heaven and on earth.
It is such an honor to serve you, Jesus.
It is an honor to have walked with you, Lord, and to know you and live in your presence. Take my life, Lord, and do with it whatever you will.
Though my sorrows may last for a night, I know joy will come in the morning. Please say a prayer for me as well, saints. Let the will of God be done in my life.
Just like my role model in the Bible, Prophet David, I will keep strengthening myself in you, Lord. I know you will never fail me.
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
1 Samuel 30:6 KJV
A Call To Salvation
Saints, are you feeling burdened, weary, and alone? Have you been carrying the weight of sadness and trauma, wondering where to turn for relief? Take heart, for there is hope in Jesus Christ.
He offers a light in the darkness, a peace that surpasses understanding, and a love that never fails.
No matter what you've been through, Jesus invites you to come to Him with your heavy heart and burdens. He stands ready to offer you forgiveness, healing, and a new beginning.
You don't have to carry your pain alone anymore.
Just as Prophet David found strength in the Lord, you too can find strength and salvation in Jesus Christ.
Surrender your life to Him today, and experience the joy and freedom that come from knowing Him as your Savior and Redeemer.
If you're ready to accept Jesus into your life, simply pray this prayer with sincerity:
Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of your forgiveness.
I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead. I repent of my sins and ask you to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior.
Thank you for your love and grace. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Welcome to the family of God.
If you prayed this prayer sincerely, know that your sins are forgiven, and you are now a child of God.
Please seek out a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith and find support from other believers.
God bless you on your journey of faith.
Until next time, I love you - please continue in God's love.
