Alexandria, are you referring to persecution against you? Or other problems? It's kind of hard to give a suggestion without knowing the true circumstance. Do you think God made you a specific promise that has not come true as yet? What is it you are having a hard time believing? It may not be God you are having a hard time believing but what you have been told to believe about God by a person or a group. It is always easier to believe when things are going good but when trials come as they will it is harder. We become short sighted and our world becomes smaller and we can't see the larger picture that we could see when times were easier. We lose our faith when we can not see the final goal we are instructed to spend our lives running toward. The cares of the world take over our thoughts and we forget we are but pilgrims passing through this life. we act as if there is no tomorrow when for us who live in Jesus will always have a tomorrow and justice will in the long run prevail.

Hey Alex,
I would have written just about exactly the same post as DavidWayne. :-)
If it is ok to ask of you, and if you feel ok with doing so, is there anything that you think you might be able to share herein a more detailed way? I realize no one can MAKE you talk, and I would never presume to do so. But if there's something tugging on your heart it may help to just put it down in words here on your thread. Consider it as a bit of "journaling with fellow DABbers."
Have a re-read of DavidWayne's post above. I know DavidWayne, and I believe that his heart is oriented toward gently asking the questions he's brought before you. Spend some time considering them; ask the Spirit to guide you through them. And then imagine us all sitting in a coffee shop talking through some of the stuff; you could share whatever things you wished to at that time, and could hold off on other things until you felt comfortable with saying them.
Hugs, Alex :-)
Praying with you,
Tom

No pressure Alexandria. I sometimes have to think hard for the right words too.

Hi Alexandria,
I don't know how many years you have been around or how old you are in Jesus but I can sure sense your pain. The thought and prayer that has been put into these threads are just a glorification of our Lord. He is ministering through His HS and this is and has been beautiful for me to read. Thankyou so much for bringing help and healing into my life Davidwayne, Tom and Calico. HUUUUUUUGs!

Hey Alex,
It's Feb. 19th and the WindFarm chat has been in function for more than a month now. I am realizing that I am not on the DAB chat too much anymore, and that several of us on the WindFarm chat are missing you very much.
Checking in with you to see how you're doing, l'il sister. :-)
Any way you can join us on the Cafe? Someone said you may be having login trouble there?
Let me (us!) know. We miss you!!!
Hugs,
Tom
