I appreciate the responses. I was hoping that this posting
would not turn into a dispute, argumentative, accusations,
or something that’s not encouraging or edifying for others
that might be having similar issues, but thank you.

I simply feel that I am in the wilderness and thinking
that God is on the other side of the universe. I certainly
feel like I am being beaten down by the devil as
sermonindex pointed out. So, I grabbed my bible today and
started preaching to my heart….again. I guess most times
you just have to open the bible and just confess back or
speak back to God what He has written in His word and just
let Him know that His promises are just as powerful as the
words He used to speak forth the universe.

One of the wondrous and marvelous workings of the cross of
Christ is that it’s not about my ability, my performance
nor is it even dependent on the size or depth of my faith.
I figure it’s all about the One in whom I am standing,
kneeling, laying and sometimes crawling on.

“A bruised reed He will not break And a dimly burning wick
He will not extinguish;” (Is. 42:3 NASB) A GREAT verse and
one of my favorites! What an amazing God we have!

Thank you again,

Amen Robert, that verse deeply comforts me too. Hang on tight to him.

Hi jr,

I will be praying for you. Be encouraged, brother. We have all experienced various seasons during our walks with God. We know the "mountaintop" experience, but also the loneliness of the "valleys."

From personal experience, I have learned to cherish those times when I stood firm in those valleys (especially in retrospect).

He truly is the All Sufficient One!
