How to Move Through Suffering and Come Back Stronger - Day One

How to Move Through Suffering and Come Back Stronger - Day One

Aight....so I started this plan because I deadset missing the social intimacy and assurance I had before the cut off. I don't feel support from fellow Christians and Church can't help but seem as hard labour with no benefit. This is all a lie of course, people are praying for me regardless whether I believe it or not and Satan just loves to do my head in. This might be why I'm so vulnerable to lust for these past several days??? I don't want to be lingering on this anymore cause it's already been over a year. To those I left behind and pray for; Bonnie, Stephen. Solomon, Tahmid, Wendy, Winnie, Kevin, John, Suemin, Jenny, Samuel, Jeremy, Jackson, Roland, Leann, Irvin, Derek.. Please I beg that you would all see a New Jerusalem with me someday 

ANYWAYS

Romans 8: 17

Paul writes that convenience and relief is never promised but rather struggles, it is actually REQUIRED in the faith. However I can have reassurance in this knowing that my troubles have purpose behind them whether they're brought on by myself or out of my control. My hope and prayer is to die to myself like Paul did, stop my self pity, my victimhood mentality, stop my cravings of human approval or intimacy. Set my gaze only on Jesus so that when I do suffer I look for the right medicine.

Prayer/response:

- Be a good steward and study so I can go Cape Town next year

- Love my dad especially in times when I don't want to

- Pray persistently for Celine that she may continue in her pursuit of you

- Thank you for being patient with me Lord but I beg of you, please be more patient for my friends. Let them know you!
