it is said in Deuteronomy that when we keep still, we'll here God's voice. often it is the chaos and clamour of the outside world that we hear and distracts, really annoying. as you are asking, you're seeking something spiritual. maybe stopping at a moment, reflect and open your heart. inviet GOd to talk to you. i'm sure He wont ignore you. just listen. stay out of the noisy world. be in silence with God, He'll speak to you..

Selah. Good question Midge. You're right. God is awesome. I love the presence of the Lord.\n\nDon't be quick to leave the presence of the King. Linger. Soak in His Glory.\n\nPeople mock what they cannot comprehend if they have been there for themselves.\nGod Bless you!

A wise man once said " keep your eyes on Jesus and do the next right thing" . Its not easy but every choice does count. In my experience I have grown closer to God by letting him fight for me: pray about it.

I certainly hope so. There seem to be a lot of signs these days. God says that the same way you see the green leaves appear on the trees and know spring is near will be true regarding the second coming. We will see the signs and know the time is near. Timothy tells us what God knows is coming...\n"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them."\n2 Timothy 3:1\nSounds kind of familiar, eh? Our world IS this way now but may have to get a lot worse before we see Him coming.\nRemember that no one knows the time except the Father.

Pray, pray, pray!  Don't forget that God loves you very much.  He could never forget you.  But you are here on this earth to learn and grow.  The best way to learn is by experience.  Bad things happen, and they happen to everybody.  The testing point is how you answer these challenges.\n\nRemember that even Jesus felt abandoned by God for a moment during the atonement and crusafiction.  \n\nThe best thing you can do now is continue to have faith.  The scriptures say to endure to the end in faith, right?  That's what we are asked to do, not 'endure to the bad parts in faith'.  Just stay strong.  Good luck.

It will crush and put an end to all these [earthly] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.” (Daniel 2:44) This heavenly Kingdom, or government, will soon take action to bring about global peace under righteous rule.—2 Peter 3:13.God’s Kingdom will take complete control of the earth, ridding it of all the wicked and ruling “to times indefinite,” that is, forever.\n\nIt will soon “come” against all earthly opposers of God’s sovereignty, removing them from the scene. \nAccording to Bible prophecy, it will soon displace all human governments and bring in an era of global peace. (Psalm 72:1-7; Daniel 2:44;) True Christians therefore make the coming of the Kingdom a recurring theme in their prayers.\n\nThis is what you are asking for then you pray for God's Kingdom to come\n\nThe Kingdom is the instrument that God will use to solve the problems that make life so difficult today. By means of the Kingdom, God will soon put an end to wars, hunger, disease, and crime, and he will bring about unity and peace.

Go straight to the very top where God is!\n\nHebrews 4:15-16 \nFor we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.\n\nLet us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.\n\n\nMatt. 7. 7-11\n"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.\n\nFor everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.\n\n"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?\n\nOr if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?\n\nIf you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

You doubt because we have all sinned and come short of the glory of the Lord. Jesus said, There is none good, no not one. Satan will use this against you. Just do the best you can do. Pray for forgiveness when you mess up. We all mess up. Don't give up. Jesus is almost here for us. Watch these extremists nations with powerful weapons. Be ready to be caught up in the air when Jesus comes back in the clouds to gather his elect from the four corners of the earth.

Hi, good question...I have just recently gone through some difficult times at my "former" church, and though I did not lose my faith, I did take a break from church, "organized religion".  A very difficult time since worshipping God has alot to do with serving God and it's hard to serve Him if you aren't going somewhere.  I honestly did struggle WITH my faith, but never stopped having my faith.  Once you have that salvation through Jesus Christ, you can't lose it.  I've always heard that if you're not close to God anymore, then you're the one that moved, not Him.   what I did, I clung to Him, prayed to Him and let Him do His work in me.  When I was ready, He was waiting.  He is a patient, loving God.

There is and are no "best" responses. When we stand before God in judgement...maybe you can ask HIM ...yourself. Please invite me to witness that moment....

I would say that taking the time to step back and look at the situation with an objective mind helps.\nThen, you can ask your Lord (whoever He/She may be) to help you.\nThen, be QUIET and wait for an obvious answer to come to mind.
