1 | How do you have faith? | Heb 13:5 | Samantha432 | 153351 | ||
I'm really jealous of my best friend. She has a cute little family, she stays home and takes care of her kids, and they just bought a new house, and she just found out she is pregnant! Yay, right? No, Not for me. I, of course, am completely envious and jealous of her and her husband. My husband works 4pm-12am and I work 8am-5pm. So we literally do not see eachother at all. But her husband has a great job with great hours. On top of that, we're not sure if we can have biological kids because of his previous battle with cancer. It's just really hard to be happy for someone who has everything I've always dreamed. I know, I know how STUPID I'm being and how selfish I am. I know it's a sin. I guess I have little faith. My real question here is not so much how to not be jealous, but how to have total faith in God's will for me. Do you guys have any verses to inspire me? Please don't judge me, I know that I'm wrong for feeling this way. I don't know how to have faith. | ||||||

Hi Samantha 432, Look up these verses on contentment... Hebrews 13:5 1 Timothy 6:7-8 Please trust God in your situation. A lot of people struggle about seeing others more blessed. God knows best and how we are to be used for His purposes. We need to put God first. Matt 6:33 My cabin burnt down and lost everything but tthe family nine years ago.... A while later a soul was saved because of our reactions towards the fire and loss. Praise Jesus! :) There's many kids that could be adopted and to share your faith with! Seedling |

3 | How do you have faith? | Heb 13:5 | ngkh | 153509 | ||
Hi Samantha, When I was born again and began my walk, there were lots of events in the bible that I did not quite agree nor understand especially in the OT. But then God is good that I get answers very quickly thru the bible, my leaders and brotherly friends. Most significant was the following verses that keeps popping out in my face - car stickers, signs at shop, posters, calendars in places that I've been like God is trying to tell me something and for many times. Perhaps this might be of help 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverb 3:5-6 Also if you would go to Mark 11:23-25, I hope that will also answer you especially verse 25. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." I would encourage you to meditate on the scripture and trully believe with your heart and not your carnal mind, you'll be surprised what your heart can do to your faith. God Bless |
