Praise Report!

Estella speaks….

These past few months have been a very trying period for me. I felt like I was being attacked from all sides. My schoolwork was stressful and I felt bogged down by the load of it. I faced difficulty in relationships as I felt like friends who were dear to me were drifting away. I struggled even in ministry as I tried to find answers as to where God wanted me to be. All in all I felt like life had become a constant battle and I grew weary and discouraged.

Amazingly, as I look back now, I see God working in my life in many ways. He spoke to me through songs that suddenly popped into my mind out of nowhere. He encouraged me through sermons and messages about suffering and pain. He sent friends to counsel me and pray for me. He assured me that though life was tough, He was with me and His hand would always uphold me.

Though I have yet to resolve many of these issues, I approach everything with a better attitude. I am not perfect and sometimes I still grumble about how miserable I am. But I know that He is ever-faithful and He won’t love me any less. I look with hope to the day when God grants me the answers I seek and I can bring you yet another praise report.

QUOTE of the WEEK:

The VALUE of CONSISTENT prayer is not that He will HEAR us,
but that we will HEAR him
