God understands our suffering and provides comfort during difficult times, even if the reasons for our pain remain unclear. When facing problems, Satan may try to undermine our trust in God, but focusing on deepening our relationship with God and faith in His love can help us develop greater understanding and find strength through hardship. Developing regular prayer and reminding ourselves of God's love lays a foundation to weather life's storms.

The pursuit of happiness 5
Stewardship is a major part of discipleship and spiritual disciplines. As stewards, we are entrusted with managing our time, resources, and opportunities for God. If we are faithful stewards, investing our time in spiritual disciplines, setting goals, and asking God for direction, we will be blessed and rewarded both on earth and in heaven. Being good stewards means realizing everything comes from God, being faithful, and committing to a more generous life.
God Says
Understand God and ourselves, spread love, and accept both blessings and hardships as gifts from God in order to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. God does not cause harm but waits to help if asked, and true bliss comes from feeling light and burdenless.

Gospel 7 rom 4 slides 102410
Faith requires believing in God even when he upsets comfort zones or the status quo to move you forward. It recognizes you must trust God to come through for you somehow, even when he empties you of self before using you for his purposes. The document discusses how righteousness comes through faith rather than works, and how God forgave David based on his faith, not what he could offer. Baptism alone does not save without true faith in Christ's death on one's behalf.
Unit 7 – The Crisis Of Belief
When God calls someone to join in his work, it requires a crisis of belief, as their response needs faith that what God has promised will come to pass. Encounters with God demand faith over sight, and what he calls someone to do will be something only he can accomplish. When people see God do something miraculous through an individual, family or church, it draws them closer to knowing God. What someone does ultimately reveals what they believe about God, and taking action is necessary for true faith. Faithful servants will be rewarded for their faithful actions.

Practices like listening prayer, journaling, and responding in faith can help tune into God's voice. The document encourages applying these ideas through group activities and personal growth work.
Unit 8 – Adjusting Your Life To God
This document discusses the adjustments necessary to fully follow God, including surrendering all aspects of one's life and obeying even when it is costly. It notes that obedience requires total dependence on God and that waiting on Him to work is always worthwhile.

2. The integrity of prayer - Giving priority to outer life over inner life leads to feeling uncomfortable with self-reflection and lacking integrity. Cultivating an inner prayer life is important.
3. The hardness of prayer - Prayer is difficult work that requires searching for God, even when feeling His absence. Persisting through dryness and discomfort can lead to a flour

89061319 change-joyce-meyer
Joyce Meyer discusses making changes that lead to personal growth. She emphasizes that nothing changes until your mind changes, and that changing your thinking is the first step to changing your behavior. Meyer explains that change is a process that can provoke emotions, and decisions made during emotional highs and lows often cause long-term trouble. She encourages readers to make changes when they feel dissatisfied or that their current situation has become like a "dry brook" no longer feeding them. The greatest change of all, she says, is becoming a new creature in Christ, equipped with everything needed to live in a brand new way.

89062464 fickle-feelings-joyce-meyer
This document contains teaching notes on fickle feelings by Joyce Meyer. Some key points:
1) Emotions are often the believer's number one enemy as the devil uses feelings to deceive us. Feelings change frequently and should not dictate decisions or beliefs.
2) Spiritual maturity involves living beyond feelings and not being "tossed to and fro" by them. Mature believers know what they believe is not swayed by experiences or lack of certain feelings.
3) Believers must serve the God of the Bible, not their feelings. Many never experience God's love, presence, gifts, purpose, because they live by feelings rather than faith in scripture. Feelings should not replace biblical truths

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

When you believe in god but feel he has let you down
- 3. • God knows how we feel
- 4. 2. God comforts those who hurt.
- 5. 3. God is present in our problems
- 6. 4. God is more that what we would call “fair”
