Hello brothers and sisters in Christ--

I really need God to encourage me right now as I endure the most challenging season of my life. I know the Lord spoke a couple of promises into my life over the past few years that have helped to keep me hopeful about my future. but i am so very very far removed from those promises right now. life is very bleak. very desolate.
im in an online program to earn certificate in Biblical studies as I pursue the Lord's calling on my life. right now im having a really hard time writing a paper for my first class.
im also looking for a new part time job after losing my last job over a month ago
struggling with lust, depression, anxiety-- suffering from severe loneliness.
I desperately need God's loving touch on my life. My whole life depends on God's faithfulness. Tell me how faithful He is. please keep me in prayer. thank you and God bless you

Moses entered into his true calling while tending sheep on the backside of a desert, and after having run for his life.

Joseph entered into his true calling after being sold into slavery, and after being falsely imprisoned.

David entered into his true calling after running for his life, and dwelling in places like caves for years.

The pathway to fulfilling God's calling is not necessarily smooth.

You feel lonely, but God knows exactly where you are at.

Just keep on crying out to him and trusting in him.

I am praying for you.

Yes-- it is certainly a challenge unlike anything else to endure the wilderness season and learn to completely depend on God and trust in His wisdom for leading me through this.

If it makes you feel any better, then I am definitely in the same boat.

The good news is that God gives grace to the humble/lowly.

In other words, by recognizing our own shortcomings, we position ourselves for God's Divine assistance.

Whether you presently realize it or not, you are in a good place. A very good place.

Tell me how faithful He is. please keep me in prayer. thank you and God bless you
He didn't get rid of Pauls thorn, He just gave him enough grace to endure it.

Thats what He does to me. He is faithful to me that He supplies my every need according to His Riches in Glory. I wake up every day, stuck in a rut, suffering with all kinds of fleshy desires, depression anxiety, fears, and He reminds me it's normal in this world.

And, if you look at the verse image I posted, you will know they are not even yours to control....So we can chill out😊 Because everything in the world is His, including your feelings and states of mind, and your current situation.... you can relax and know Gods Got This!

He will take them away when He is good and ready, in the meantime know your ok, and just a part of His plan to get you to surrender to Him.

Praying for you Daniel.
