"Seeing Your Future With Faith, Not Fear" with Pastor Rick Warren

Going through a lot of anxiety right now and trying to turn to god. Please pray for me

Thank you Pastor Rick. I am consumed with fear over covid. Anyone who reads this please pray for me to have faith and not fear. Thanks, mike

I’m full of fear and anxiety and I’m struggling with addiction to marijuana... Please PRAY for me! Saddleback!

My faith is flickering like a smoldering wick for the last two years. I want a clear vision for my future and my candle to burn bright. God help me . Im praying for God’s vision and the strength to walk in it. Thanks Bro Rick.

Pastor Rick Warren, I'm so glad that God gave me the opportunity to meet you on the internet. That's was the greatter thing that happened to me in 2020. I've already talked to your people by e-mail. They're so polite and pleasant. I'm learning English and I've to take a proficiency test, so I practice listening to your sermons . God bless you. From Brazil to my favorite pastor.

I love that even though Caleb was in his 80s when he received his inheritance, he said he still felt strong and energized enough that he would enjoy it as if he were still young. Time passed but God blessed him with youthful energy. I ask God for things that I imagine may come when I am old. I don't know, but I know God is doing things now because of prayers in the past and that continue today. Would you please pray for my family to make the necessary changes that we can pay our bills and one day have a home? My husband and I have 3 boys in a small 2 bedroom rental. We are grateful but there is mold that has been making us ill. Our medical bills are piling up. We are both working but covid has really hurt my husband's business. He is also taking classes as he's a youth pastor. We will pray for you too! Thank you!

Pastor Rick I just want you to know that I'm from the Northeastern part of India and I watch all your sermons infact I feel like I'm a part of your church it has been a great blessing for me to be able to hear from you God bless you.

18,000 people gave their life to Jesus.... this is the type of headlines we should be seeing! But no, the media rather cover the color of the queen of England’s gloves. 🙄. Thank you Pastor Rick for your ministry that changes lives daily!

I needed this. I’m just adjusting my status here in the US and I’m close to get my green card now but due to unclear vision, confusion about my purpose, unbelief, I had thought and imagined to maybe go back to Mexico so many times but more lately. It has been a hard season for me since I moved two years ago. I’ve seen how God had place me on trials these whole time (not just on pandemic) in order to make a transformation in myself but the discourage and feeling of loneliness sometimes was unavoidable and therefore I end up drowning myself in negative thoughts and looking to go back. Thank you Pastor Rick!! For this series and for helping me to look at my future with Faith!!✨

I just want to tell you that even though we are in a dark season of life, we are God’s children. He loves us and He IS IN CONTROL. Our relationship with God is not based on feelings, it is based on trust. Don’t let your anxiety, depression or panic attacks confuse you. I myself have suffered from anxiety for many years but I have learned that God will never fail me and will pull through for me, no matter how I feel. When I start feeling afraid I pray that He wrap his arms of love around me and make me feel secure, and He does. ❤️ No matter where you are, or how you are feeling- God loves you, and I do too. I’m sending you all a huge hug and lots of love. May God fill each one of your hearts with hope, peace, faith, strength, and happiness. I love you.

From eyes of fear to eyes of faith! Amen.

Happy new year pastor. Please do pray for me, I am going through some though times at the moment. I know only Jesus can. Regards from northeast India.

Dear Pastor Rick, I would like to thank you for your style in teaching. If you would have said that a Pastor of a Mega Church was going to guide me closer to the Lord, I would of said your nuts. Im sure that what Im telling you is something you already know by the growth of saddleback. Through out my life I desired to want to be closer to God and it always was a struggle because it was half hearted. You somehow are able to communicate the scripture in a way that keeps me yearning for more, and In a way I can understand.. No Pastor has ever been able to reach me like you have, so Thank you for your guidance, your example and your leadership. You are making a difference.

Mike remember “we walk by faith and not by sight”. 2 Cor. 5:7. Your natural eyes see the scary circumstances of the world and covid but your spiritual eyes of faith stay focused on Jesus. Psalm 23.

As always Pastor Rick you have a timely message that the world needs to hear especially now.

I was reading Numbers 13 and was writing notes. The very first question that popped was, why was it necessary to send spies to the land? in my simple mind i thought, well you gotta find out if there is work there before you move there. and then i saw your podcast on Insta and I was like wow!!!! it was like God talking to me face to face answering my inquisitiveness. Thank you Ps Rick Warren for allowing God to make you a vessel so we can be blessed with more understanding. I truly believe that God uses so many vessels to speak to us. If we search for Him with all our hearts, He will never disappoint us. God bless you and your family exceedingly Ps Rick <3

2020 was a thriving year to be honest. Despite the anxiety and fear I saw how God redirected me and even allowed me to minister to others even online... I went back to my SHAPE... I was called to writer snd therefore I did. It's beyond what I imagined.

I too have turned from focusing on faith in God to fear of the unknown of covid.

In Jesus namei will more than 129 years

Amen Amen Pastor Rick!
