Any help or advice appreciated

For a while now Ive been ministering in lve to homeless people in the major cities around my area.
Well now a new challenge came around where the homeless closest to me have been struck down in depression and hurt due to circumstances that have come back up.
Even one man who has been a dry alcoholic for maaaaaaaaaaany years is falling back and isolating himself.
Thats just one of many people struck. Another had his wife and child murdered many years ago and hasnt been able to come anywhere.
I will have to start going to their housings and uplift them more but there has been questions coming up like "oh so if theres a God why did he take my wife and Child" and things like that.
Please pray for guidance, hope and wisdom for all parties in this. Bible verses on how Jesus dealt with the broken are very appreciated.
Thanks

People often blame God for their misfortune, but in reality, the source of most of their problems can be found in the nearest mirror. God separated himself from sin, the prince of this world is Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 2:2), and God doesn't interfere with the natural course of things, not yet anyhow.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you". (1 Peter 5:8-10)

Hi Demi, awesome work you’re doing. May God Bless you and all the people you meet.

Some verses that hopefully help and comfort those you meet and minister to, you probs already have thought of them Jesus watch over you. Take good care.


For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.

He carried our sorrows

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
And saved him from all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience], and He rescues [each of] them.

He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds.

A bruised reed He will not break

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (the Messiah),
Because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind, [ <— Re: 2 Cor 4:4 ]
To set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy)


Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Jesus the Great High Priest
14Therefore, since we have such a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every waythat we are, yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

God bless you and your family 🙂

Thanka for all the great verses

I find it's better to go out in groups of two or more. So many Scriptures like God is no respecter of persons and He loves them just as much as anyone else. Also, I remind them that believing in God and His mercy will bring peace. Everyone is in a different place so I personally find praying and esp praying in the Spirit helps in all areas of life. I pray the good Lord anoints you with His truth and agape love and protects you in Jesus' name, Amen.

Your welcome I thought afterwards it might have been a bit, I don’t know how to say, but I read your op again later and realised some of the peoples troubles, well hard to find the right words to comfort, esp the guy who lost his family. Hard to fathom....
I’m hearing many reports of many people getting depression and isolating, anxiety, feeling weighed down, helpless, hopeless, and pressured by the system, not getting the right help. That’s why your ministry is so crucial and Thank God for your life and I pray you do have someone with you to be with you even though God is with you anyway. Tabin is right, Jesus sent His peeps out 2 x 2. Im eager to get out there too, I’m aware of the urgency too but waiting on a partner to work with based on the 2 x 2 thing. May His Spirit anointing and help be with you and His Holy angels keep your steps as per Psalm 91. Grace and Peace

Well theres no one else that can go with me. And I wouldnt want that so much either. They entrust me and I can deal with things many peple cant.

Thanks for the prayers and support. Im glad that i am not getting doomer for it

Your welcome, I’d love to keep you in prayer, it’s great you can handle things. Your reply made me realise that having built up that rapport and relationship with people builds trust and we get to know people so we don’t need to worry. You know better than I do about your personal business so I didn’t mean to sound condescending or anything, just showing concern so I’ll keep praying.
I’m wrestling with getting out there cos I’m sure time is running up and I’m not sure if I should just get out there too.. rather than wait for someone to go out with me but I guess there’s many ways we can reach people. God bless and have an awesome year in Jesus.
