    Currently it is the 1st of June 2024. I am unemployed, haven't been able to finish my studies and my relationship with my family is strained. I have full faith God will restore. I have been praying and hurting for the past 5 years. My God will never fail me.

    I'm turning 25 in 2 months and im unemployed, living in my mom's house and having no idea what God has for me. But one thing I am proud of, this is the year i truly had an encounter with God, he changed my heart and my character, my relationship with God has given me so much peace in the midst of the wilderness im in, im completely at peace because im delayed on purpose, to build my character in a way that God desires me to be. He is also faithful enough to stil provide and fill me with splendor in the midst of my struggles, I love this God❤

  • This sermon reminds me of Luke 1:45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her. The Lord is going to do it

    I’m literally stunned right now. These scriptures are the literal scripture that GOD gave my sister to give to me and my sister gave me it in connection to a dream she had concerning me. My GOD… HE is faithful. GOD bless Stephanie and her obedience.

    Im 24 years old and currently unemployed. But Im trusting in the Lord with all my heart and not leaning on my own understanding. The Lord is so good to me and He told me that He wants me to use this time while unemployed to grow everyday in my faith and in my walk with Him. I can testify that He has been providing for me for the past few months. I never go to bed hungry and I am always safe. God is good. He is amazing. I love Him and Jesus eternally.
