If you ever feel that life is getting you down, you can always turn to God. He will always be by your side, whether or not you choose to realize it. If all else fails, God never will. Knowing that I have a God who cares so much about me is enough for me to get through anything. I believe that everything happens for a reason. And if God brought me to it, He'll bring me through it. I think this belief is what helps me grow as a spiritual being. How about you, do you have a similar belief? Would you care to share more personal beliefs of how you develop yourself as a spiritual being?

Yes, I experienced it last year ago because of failure, I know that it was just a test on how I can handle it, if I remain or strong or if my faith will be still there, God tested me and I'm glad that I overcame it, I was strong enough and pray harder and after a month there were great opportunity came to me, Prayer is powerful. Keep the faith, God bless. :)

Thanks for your response. Yes, that's a good way to put it. I believe the same thing, that God puts us in certain situations to lead us down the path He'd like us to follow. He never gives us more than we can readily handle. I hope many more opportunities go your way. =)

the material interesting conversation, good, and made me untouchable. because now I feel severe test from God. several problems present themselves, and yet it seems I was not able to handle it by yourself, after reading this topic I remembered that I had to go back to the almighty god. There's where the instructions are great, full of patience, and sincerity.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I get the feeling that my problems overwhelm me sometimes. But that is a great way of putting it, that they are just tests from God. Maybe it's his way of also trying to reach out to us, to remind us to look for Him. And yes, that is great. His instructions really are powerful and give me a sense of patience and sincerity. We cannot handle things on our own because we need God. Without Him, things may seem impossible. But with Him, all things are possible. I hope that you and also I can continue to grow in our faith in God and His works.
