3 Minutes of Faith

 As I was thinking through the spoken word in the video, I realized how deep the meaning of the sentences can go. For me, when I said, “give up the hope just to take it back broke” it was because I felt like my prayer was a joke. Like it wasn’t good enough to make a difference and it seems like all I got back in return was broken dreams and a shattered hope.  I also realize that I don’t believe that I have told you about the medicine I took for anxiety. During spring break I was on a medicine that I thought was working. However, it turned out to make it worse and I started to deal with suicidal thoughts. During that time of being so hopeful thinking I found something to ease the pain my hope was then crushed over and over as I tried medicine again. That is why I said that, “prayer is that antidote that doesn’t make me freak.” I’m still scared to take medicine and afraid of the consequences of it. The doctor suggested me to wait until I’m 20 which made me even more hopeless ...

Use these verses to push through. Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;      I will be exalted  among the nations,      I will be exalted in the earth.” 1 John 4:20 "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen." 2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Sometimes we feel like everything in life is against us. Do ever you feel like as soon as you have finally accomplished something or are close to a perfect reality, it all falls apart. Many times we blame God and get mad that he would allow this. However, if the world was perfect why would we need God? Something that I have had to learn is that God does not give us trials. He allows them, so that we can grow and so He can do something better out of it. Life is like a war. Every day there's a new battle to face. For me my battles have lasted 3 years. The anxiety in my life and the depression have made me feel weak from the fight. When you're in the battle you often don't think anything good could come from it, but God has shown me and many others that it can reach people and change people for good. God doesn't leave us alone to fight it. In fact, the Bible says that he is at the front lines of battle with us going through it all.  Deuteronomy 20:4 "For the ...

"I don't really feel like it," Oftentimes that is our attitude towards the things we have to work for. We have become a society full of "I'll just do it tommorow." However, tomorrow never comes.  God has given each of us a specific gift/personality to us for his glory. We are called to use these thing to reach others. However, it is not always easy. Sometimes you have to push through, trials, obstacles, or the fact that you just don't feel like it, in order to get the job done. In the last few weeks alone, I have come across, people who use their talents in speaking, singing, rapping, and simply cooking a meal. All of these gifts, no matter how small, can be used to share the gospel and God's love. Sometimes you may feel like you don't have the talent or qualifications to share with others in the ways mentioned earlier. For a long time I felt as though I couldn't be used, because I wasn't a preacher, and I didn't sing like my s...
