“The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” Luke 17:5 https://biblehub.com/luke/17-5.htm
Hi dear Brides, l must confess something to you all. I lost my faith, l got worried and l lost my joy 🙁
It did not sit right in my spirit to feel this way because l know how happy l am when l am close to and speaking to my Beloved throughout my day.
Today l asked Him to give me an extra measure of faith and to increase my faith and HE did!! I feel SO much better and happy and its so nice to have the lines of communication open speaking to Him 😊
There are times dear bride when the worries of life feel like its choking you and it chokes out the living word of God.
“but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.” Mk 4:19 https://biblehub.com/mark/4-19.htm
When this happens we cannot produce fruit, we feel stuck. Don’t hesitate to cry out to Him and ask Him to increase your faith. Do it all the time, each day and l promise you He is faithful because faith is the substance of things not seen the evidence of things hoped for!!
HE is so kind and caring and it doesn’t matter what is going on in your life because when you open up your heart to Him and tell Him whats going on HE will be right there ready and waiting to help you and increase your faith and faith moves mountains 🙌🏼
“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matt 17:20 https://biblehub.com/matthew/17-20.htm
Thank you for sharing Atarah, I am also so very grateful that we have open lines of communication to our Beloved Lord. I also have to confess I have also been worrying and so tired and I too lost my joy, but your post spoke to my heart now and I am immediately going to cry out to my Darling Lord.
He reminded me of this promise now:
“The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” P145:18 https://biblehub.com/psalms/145-18.htm
I was busy leaving a voice note for my friend, saying that I FEEL (I know it is terrible that I went on my feelings) that I am hearing my Darling Lord and while recording she out of the blue send me a promise and immediately said I know I am calling on Him in truth and immediately I heard Him (my feelings were not reliable when I thought I didn’t hear Him).
Atarah, I can relate. I have (more than once) been through similar things. For me it was like a force pulling back and forth all day long or sometimes like a loss of any emotion. I notice when I start to let worry or self-pity set in and it’s when I am not spending that much time alone with Him, that’s also when my life starts to get a little chaotic!
Thank you for sharing this, it came just at the right time and it’s comforting to know when we are not alone in our struggles. Like you, I know how much better I feel when I’m close to Him and consistently communicating with Him. Thank you for your honesty. 🥰
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” J1:9 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2C5:7
