?non answered questions?

Sometimes in life things seem so strange and cannot understand them. Thats where i am at this point. it seems like no matter what i do to change my situations they seem to remain the same. the daily struggles of life are wearing me down like never b4. I pray to God sometimes and ask why am i going through these things but it seems like its not meant for me to understand. The Bible says weeping may endure for but a night. but joy cometh in the morning light. I ask myself everytime i wake up, when is my joy coming? day by day i look for the joy but it seems like its not there. like nothing in my life is going right. You know i was speaking to a friend the other day and i told her it seems like when i was living for the world everything was in the palm of my hands. finances, luxaries, happiness, was nothing to come by not achieve. cars, clothes, jewlery, men, money i had it all. as soon as i gave God a yes i got stripped of everything. all the things that made me happy were gone. She told me sometimes God has to strip you down to build you up the right way. and i agree with that 100 percent. but when am i gonna be happy. They say happiness starts from within and i am happy with myself just not my life.. im a 26yr old medical student, single (never been married) no children and getting older by the day. what woman wouldnt want a family . but i guess all in Gods time.. but is it wrong to ask God how long is it gonna take.. you know the devil is sneaky , mean spirited, and once he knows ya weak point he will keep attacking you, and attacking you. and depression is not a joke. sometimes i find myself depressed about it but im just going to try and let go and let God have his way...............
thanks for reading.......

Kim,

That was a very touching testimony, I think we as believers can all ask the question "when is my joy coming"? But we also have to ask ourselves, am I looking for joy in the right place? And then, why are we looking for joy? Yes the Bible says that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. What we have to understand as believers is that, joy will come to us. The Bible doesn't say that weeping may endure for a night but go and find joy in the morning, it's just a matter of time before our joyous season to come to pass!!!

I will keep you in my prayers for your strength in the Lord!!!

Just keep the faith and don't give up for it's only a TEST!!!

Shalom,

Girl, I can just about agree with you on everything that youve written but when youre living for and with God the simplefact of joy is in every breath you take and every move that you make because there is someone in the grave right now wishing they had a portion of what you do. you know a God thats promises never return void and every thing is in his perfect will. If God acted in his premissive will we'd have happiness but, at what cost? Keep living for God and he will bless you more abundantly than ever before because you see you gave up everything that was fast and surrendered to God. His son Jesus was a perfect example of all these things yet he suffered on a cross. No man that is of the flesh will live forever but Gods word still remains find comfort in His promises be steadfast and unmovable in the will and let the Lord work in your life as you do so for his Kingdom. Everything will work out. LOVE YOU BOO

Kim as your best friend we have talked about many things especially the moving power of God. I have had those things that you want in this life but where are they today? We as people just cant seem to get the patience that we need to have when it comes to the questions we feel go unanswered.

Thanks and praise be to God our father and Jesus christ his son. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get all of the material things in this life that we long for? Lord where is my husband? When I have those new shoes? When will i make enough money to buy that new car? All those things are material. Whose to say that when you get that life your longing for you will be happy?

Happiness is not something that comes from having a family. Happiness comes from prayer, fasting and the knowledge that He will make everything all right. I will continue to pray for you and I pray that you understand that it will truly come to pass but in God's time.

Your Besty!
