    Help me out of my negativity. I couldn't have come back to this service at a better time. I have been struggling in these recent weeks. I have some personal issues going on and have not liked the path I have been going on. It's time for a change. Time for me to become a better more loving person. It is time, for the negative thinking to end. I love you God. God is good!!! I surrender to you. I want to follow Jesus.
  • I give my life to Jesus, and remove all negativity from my mind, heart and soul , AMEN
  • Pastor, you will never know how much inspiration and strength I’ve gained from this sermon. My husband died earlier this year. During his 6 month illness of fighting a brain tumor, I was experiencing extreme occupational burnout as a Director of Ops at a restaurant with 80 employees. Going back to work after losing my husband, I bottomed out. You have given me life skills of how to stop all the negative thoughts. I have listened to this sermon three times since last night. I’m amazed how David dealt with negative feelings. If he can do it in such extreme circumstances, surely I can too. Thank you for this message.

    Y’all pray for me, im having a really hard struggle right now. I’m fresh out of highschool and the devil has been on me bad. Life has been terrible lately. I am sick of living in this darkness. Please keep me in your prayers. I wish you all the best. Follow god, and all will be okay.

    I am going through this negative thinking loop. I often think and feel as if everyone is after me. Like trying to hurt me. It becomes habit now. But I know that this will end soon because I am with God and I believe and declare that God will heal me.
