God's will for you

Knowing God's will for your life is not a matter of desperately seeking with panic in your heart.  If you are trusting in Jesus, God is bringing about His will for you in everything that happens. Do not panic.  All you have to do is be aware that the Almighty God has you in His care and is bringing about His will in your life in each event that happens to you.  He is your Father and cares for you.  You just need to surrender to Him, to accept each day with its trials and troubles and happiness too as God's will unfolding for you. Wherever you are in the world, whether it is easy or difficult to live there, this is the place God has placed you in. If you are trying to change this situation make slow decisions.  Wait and talk with God.  You need to realize that God's will for you is actually the very best for you even if it feels tremendously difficult.  Surrender to God and tell Him you want to go His way as you know that is the best way, even though from a human standpoint it looks awful. Do you find the laws of your country limiting, remember that is where God has placed you. Paul says that we should pray "For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." Yes, God put our rulers in place.  That may seem hard to believe sometimes.  Some do a better job than others, but God is over them all and working all things together for good to them that love Him.  Sometimes we think God has forgotten all about us, but this is not so. If we have put our trust in Jesus we are God's precious children. Some will have to suffer persecution for their faith but His rewards will be great. Be encouraged and rest in your Lord.

How do you cope with depression?

There are two main types of depression, reactive, which is a reaction to your circumstances and endogenous, which is a part of your makeup and not entirely affected by your circumstances. I get the second type. When I am depressed I like to sleep a lot, this is probably not a good thing as depression can lift if you do not have extra sleep. It is all very well knowing that , but acting upon it is another thing. Exercise is also beneficial. Some sorts of depression can be lifted by taking these measures, but some people need medication. You need to get to know your doctor and develope a relationship with him/her where you feel you can trust their judgement. Do look for help as there are lots of possibilities out there. It is not good to spend long stretches of time on your own. Talking with other people will often help lift your spirits, especially if they are people who have gone through this experience themselves. Maybe you need to join a self help group. Avoid people who tell...

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.
