Today, I experienced trials. I feel so much worries of what might happen to me in the future. I don't want to starve sooner. I ended my shift with mixed emotion awhile ago. As I went home riding a taxi it made my tears fell because of something. I don't know what I am feeling right now. I am so down and no one I can turn to. As I wrote something awhile ago I saw in mylot page that there is a picture of in God we trust.
I know this is the sign from God that I shouldn't be so sad because in every problem that may come to us I know for sure after the rain there is always a rainbow. For that I will just do my best and trust God in whatever that might happen to my career.

hi! God let those things happen to teach us lessons, He let's problem to us to become us more stronger, the harder the problem the stronger we become. God always has a better plan for us than we have.
though for me sometimes i ask God some questions but i always end up telling Him everything. after it i always feel good and have peace in my heart. i know God knows everything about what's inside me and i know He always be the to understand.

Everytime people talk about their faith, everytime they count blessings from heaven, everytime they share how God has been good to them I feel so excited that I'll be given time too to share what is in my heart. Of course my loved ones know what's inside my heart.
I was raised from a poor family. My mother used to call it "hand to mouth living" for from a work paid in a day we buy food, we save little but we pray a lot that none from the family will get sick.
Twenty years passed in no time. God allowed me to finish my college degree in one of the most prestigious universities in our country. Well, I'm not telling we never had family problems after having starved when my siblings and I were little and knows nothing to earn money. We went through a lot of challenges but amids turbulents God has been there. He never leaves. Its true, God is nearest when we need Him. After realising that, I never worried my self. I don't want to look older than my age after all! So everytime I smile a lot! I laugh loud! When my family calls to ask for money, I feel a live instead of feeling tired. They need me! Wahoo!It feels great to know they live because I care. I never feel free until I have accepted that. So Cheer up! For every tomorrow is a new hope and God is my blessed hope!

I sympathize with you because I've just come through a trial like no other myself. I don't know if God "planned" it but I know that He allowed it - maybe because I didn't take the time to listen to Him and follow as He lead. I'm not sure. Regardless of the "why" when bad situations come to us, He will not leave us alone in them. I have never felt closer to my Lord than during this trial and I have come away with a new understanding and trust in Him and His love and care.
It's hard to not let things get you down, I know. The only thing you can do is pray and let God know how you feel and that you need His strength and guidance. He won't let you down.

Don't feel bad. When a door closes, God opens windows. Just persevere in prayers and do good. Trust in God and believe that He can move mountains.
Meanwhile, take a rest and then once you are already feeling nicer, do some job hunting. In no time, you will soon find a job or God will find a way for you to live.

yeah your right always put God in heart/mind. GOD is always their for us in times of trials, happiness etc. that we may overcome, perhaps tomorrow when you wake up you forget or solve your problem that you may encounter. God is always saw us what we are doing etc., even though we cannot see him he always guided us. take care. remember that trials is only a test by God and i know you do it. :)

Hi janefatima, Miracle, signs and wonders, are the works of God, if you have a close relationship with God yes he speaks to you. A sheep knows his masters voice. From your post you heard the voice of God, through the posting of In God We Trust. Now put that trust and faith to work for you. 2 Timolthy 2:3...Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Don't be surprised or worry when things get tough. Times will come when you have to stand strictly by faith, when you'll have to speak and act as though what God says is true even when you can't feel it or see it happening around you.There will be times when everything looks terrible. That's when you must endudure hardness as a good soldier. Be Blessed

Hi janefatema,
Discussion and interpretations on God has not yet reached any conclusion and I do not think its charming words chanted by men would heal people's fatal mental agony and the likes.
That people in the stone age and yet before that believed in God or some power. Now this with the advancement of science things have change in such-
in God ....

Hi Janefatime, cheer up! God's plan is perfect. You have to trust Him. things happen in our life for some special purpose. We may get hurt during the process but at the end of it all, we will discover the greatness of God's plan for our life and appreciate the things that had happened. Problems and obstacles come into our lives to teach us lessons, or to let us discover our potentials. If you are down, learn to accept things and you will feel better. Wait and you will see. Problems are always part of living, if we don't have it, we could never be more appreciative of life and it's like a blank wall, with no colors, boring and seem to be lifeless. :)
