gladness that arise from trials

hannahclarisselim1 — 2022-02-03 02:42:21 UTC

had a difficult year with fam, so many incidents but saw God's grace and mercy when my cousin /s and our fam were having bible study ! was overwhelmed with joy and peace, i cried

Have I ever tasted THIS kind of joy?

fonaciergabrielle — 2022-02-03 02:42:59 UTC

Yes, I remember the night my Lolo passed away (first time to encounter death)...yet God's joy and peace literally FILLED me and that ER room so vividly. I'll never forget it.

At present though, I think my distractions and desires (whether work/hobbies/free time) are what's blocking me from enjoying this Joy from the Lord and are quenching my spiritual zest.

trials rn that are quenching my spiritual zest

hannahclarisselim1 — 2022-02-03 02:43:39 UTC

my mental health and my approach to college
very hard but God is working and teaching me.
you can't grow without pain
if you have a comfortable life, you don't need God
learning to trust in Him and ask Him for help everyday

yes, I remember in college when i was experiencing Chronic anxiety where I would cry and have panic attacks in the middle of class or faint out of being mentally week especially being diagnosed with MDD. I remember still feeling overwhelming joy and thankfulness that I had Jesus wherever I went. Through my trials I got stronger !

2022-02-03 02:43:52 UTC

have u tasted the joy that rises above your difficult circumstances? are there any trials now that are quenching your spiritual zest?

2022-02-03 02:43:55 UTC

Yes I have. During the first few weeks of my dad getting Covid, despite everything being incredibly chaotic and scary, I remember being very aware of all the good things God was doing.

Yes. I have not fully recovered from the after-effects of my dad getting sick. Our lives changed a lot afterwords, I stopped going to school and all that. I still don't know what my future looks like and I struggle to remember who I am in Christ at times.

Not being able to see the people I love so often

not being able to make more friends

being a people pleaser/over thinking everything

Philippians 1:12-26

advance to the Gospel
in chains for Christ
because of the chains -> more courageous
people are more encouraged
preach the gospel in LOVE. not debate or to fight anyone or to show that you have knowledge
- even in trials, Paul sees the bigger picture
important: Christ is preached
eagerly expects hope
Christ will be exalted
- his life and words are so inspiring
he wants to be with Christ but he knows that he must remain the body because God can still use him
