What would you tell someone feeling stuck in their current situation?
Prayer…
Heavenly Father,
I come to You right now lifting everyone feeling completely stuck, weary, and unsure of the road ahead. Lord, may we surrender our timeline, our confusion, and our need to figure everything out into Your capable hands. Please take the heavy burden of the future off our shoulders.
Calm our restless thoughts and quiet any spirit of comparison or doubt. I ask for Your deep, supernatural peace to guard our hearts today. Help us to trust that You are working behind the scenes, even when we cannot see it. Grant us the clarity and strength to take just one tiny, faithful step of obedience today, trusting that You already have tomorrow fully taken care of. We rest in Your perfect timing and Your deep love for us.
We thank you and love you so very much, Lord.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
What should you do when feeling insignificant in God's plan?
Find comfort in God’s Word. He OFTEN uses those who feel small, weak or overlooked by the world to carry out His greatest plans.
Mary, Mother of Jesus, was an ordinary woman whom God Blessed and used to bring His Greatest Gift to the world.
Peter denied Jesus three times. God said “Upon this Rock, I shall build My Church.”
Lots more. Look at David. He was weak in the flesh. But, God made David a Great King and He made the lineage of Jesus come through David.
What would you tell a friend afraid to act in a crisis?
Remain steadfast in the belief that no matter how dark the moment may seem, the light of the Lord will always light the way for those who truly believe.
What should you do when feeling insignificant in God's plan?
Remember that God made a promise to David that took centuries and he never forgot! We can be patient and go through a tough time knowing that God has NOT forgotten about us! And will not!!
No, because I think the pulpit is for God… but you can do special meetings to talk to the congregation about important political matters affecting the body of Christ and to pray 🙏
What would you tell someone unsure of their purpose?
Your purpose isn’t a hidden blueprint you have to guess; it is knowing God and serving the people right in front of you today. When you aren't sure about the big picture, your purpose is simply to take the next faithful step in love, trusting that God is directing your path. I find myself caught up on this way more than I’d like to admit. I feel silly thinking about how often I’d find myself “looking” for some big neon sign telling me exactly what I needed to do! We as humans tend to over complicate and over think. Don’t forget to give yourself grace too! 🫶🏻🫂
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." — Proverbs 3:5–6
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." — Psalm 119:105
(A wonderful reminder that God often gives just enough light for the next step, instead of illuminating the whole way)
I like to know what comes next so I can plan accordingly but faith… Faith is so very important and this is a huge part of surrendering that need/want to God.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You that our identity and worth are firmly rooted in who You say we are, not in our achievements or performance. Right now, the road ahead feels unclear, and we ask for Your peace to replace this uncertainty.
We surrender our timeline, our future, and our plans into Your hands. Your Word promises to be a lamp to our feet—giving us just enough light for the very next step rather than revealing the whole map at once. Please give us clear discernment for the choices before us, and help us to see the opportunities to love and serve others right where we are today. Show us the next right step, and give us the courage and boldness to take it. We love you, we thank you…
In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

No, because children is a gift from God. The couple needs to open to have children, but if one of the spouses is unable to have children naturally, then can adopt.

What would you tell someone feeling stuck in a tough situation?
I would first just say keep fighting and I’m here with you, I don’t have to be right beside you to be with you to just keep you in my prayers reach out to you and also know how to give you space. I would say a prayer as well, and let them know whatever they may need I will give the best I can do
What should you do when feeling insignificant in God's plan?
Read Psalms 139
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

What would you tell someone who feels limited by their circumstances?
I’d tell them that I must apologize that I had them all wrong. I didn’t see that they gave up so fast on themselves. I had calculated that they would go much much further for if no other reason: for spite or on purpose. I’d tell them if they want to keep going to rest for 36 hours before resuming chaos but don’t look back because when they do, my old ass is going to right there and I don’t want to run over their ass- but I sure as hell would if
they’re stupid enough to look back
No, because we need to be more concerned about making effective disciples of Jesus Christ not talk about political candidates because Jesus is the one who saves not political leaders who are capable of making mistakes. Jesus is the one to get the glory not a politician.
