  • I love this sermon. This is directly to me. My wife has filed for a divorce. we have two little girls together. Eight and nine years old. I've struggled so much. With so many things. Depression loneliness. The battle at times with hopelessness. But I praise God that we can lift our hearts up to Jesus. And let Jesus Christ heal our broken hearts.

    I've grieved over being infertile and single. I've grieved over my unfulfilled dreams of becoming a wife and a mother. Giving those dreams up has been hard, but God comforts those who are brokenhearted.

    I have been Non-Stop praying for healing for the brain fog that I suffer from which is now coming on a year. I pray daily hourly every day of the week. I cry when I pray I pray with passion. On this public forum I promise God to give you all the credit when you heal me of the brain fog that I suffer from. For it'll be because of you that I'm healed. I believe in you. I trust you. I cry to you daily. Please take this brain fog away from me. Please God. Please! I have nowhere else to go and no one else else to turn to but you. I know you hear my plea. I know you see my tears. I know you hurt when I hurt. Please heal me.

    I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalms 27:13-14

    Today I struggle so I go to Rick Warrens sermons to cope. It works and gives me a feeling of peace and hope. Now I can get on with my day. Thank you Sheila
  • I never get depressed since I learned to share my faith... I used too when I didnt share it.. telling others about Jesus witnessing.

    Exactly how I'm feeling at the moment...lamenting to God every day...feeling all these feelings choking me to death
  • Very encouraging sermon to revive my hope in Lord as. My husband of 35 years has rejected me though we still are together for name sake but I always pray psalm 27 I will see goodness of God in the life of living 🙏

    my heart was so broken before listening to this, everything the pastor said all the 8 the feelings that might be making you hopeless I can relate to . I feel it all. now I can name it and pray about it specifically. May the Lord help me through this period and give me hope.
  • One of the best messages I have ever heard and Im 80 years old.

    Lost my wife 3 months ago in a traffic accident. Now I am alone facing legal issues and injury recovery. This is exactly WHAT I needed. Praise God for His provision.
  • @artm5583
    I needed this, I will watch at least 3-4 times. I always learn something new watching it over and over. Thank you Rick
  • @kellykim3684
    Amen 🙏🏻 your sermons are everything to me and I watch them almost daily. I’ve suffered from anxiety and bouts of depression for years but faith in Jesus and medication has helped me a lot. I worry and get very anxious about health issues and mortality especially for myself and my family. It’s from my childhood but I try so hard to watch your sermons, listen to gospel songs I love and pray passionately as you mentioned and He always comes through
