In the past couple of months since being saved I found myself going through a lot of tough times. Coming very close to losing the business I started last year, losing the place I'm living at for the second time in the past four months, and going through a divorce all at the same time. The divorce is more of a relief, since my wife is pretty much an unbeliever, although, it still hurts. I find that my faith is growing deeper and stronger. Since my re-birth in Christ, I've been striving on doing God's work, even working on becoming either a Pastor or Evangelist. I find it interesting that, now, with all these bad things going on I'm ok, trusting in Jesus above all things. Anyone else been through these types of things?

You know brother, just entrust your life to Him. Your relationship with God reflects your relationships with others. Don't worry, just let Him do the work and you'll be fine. The guarantee is, He is God and will help you all the way

HE (Jesus) is really been a saviour to me. I just entrust my life to HIM. Every struggle or challenges I face, I know that it is for my own good because it will help me be the good person I wanted. I also believe that HE would not leave us behind nor let us fall alone. HE will raise us up and see if we are getting okay. Honestly, everything I've prayed had really happened. Got so many wishes that was granted. Losing Him in my life means losing me all through out. ;)

Wow! That was really tough. I am glad you still have faith despite that tough times which is I think too big. Anyways, I cannot say more since you know what to do. Moreover, you are right, God can only give you problems which He thinks you can overcome.Keep the faith..I just hope I can be like you.

Greetings,
I would like to encourage you in your walk with Christ. Anyone who desires to take up their cross and follow Him to the fullest are always targets for the enemy. But keep in mind, "greater is He that is within you, than he that is in the world." The battles you face are not yours they are God's. Continue to be steadfast in His word daily and God will see you through it.
I can't say I am going through the exact things you are going through, but my sister and I are still without electricty going on two months. I'm still unemployed. Just recently since the first of this month has had a terrible time in accessing my online earning accounts including MyLot due to a system change where use a public computer.
So indeed we as Christians can be hit pretty hard but during these tough times is to totally trust in God all the way.
I hope I had help in some way.
God bless you and have a wonderful day.

I see the problem you are experiencing now were always there, but you have become conscious of them only now. You are attributing them to your new found belief. God does not put you to any test. God does not lead you to temptation. The Satan does it. Only thing you have to say is get behind me Satan, and you will see that all the problems are vanished.

i have but not as tough what you have been through. but i guess i share the same belief and faith as you do. it really does wonders. i don't know you personally but i'm glad that your rebirth in Christ came at the right time. He wouldn't get you into something that you can't get through. He has his purpose in getting you in whatever situation you are in now. His purpose will be revealed to you at the right time. Just let His will be done and never doubt Him. He has better plans for you :)
