I’m praying for you and hope you come to realize how valuable you are in God’s eyes. He hasn’t given up on you. I hope you can realize and see that he’s still got a plan and purpose for you.

Hi Justin, it’s been a while. It sounds as though you are still troubled about many things. I clearly remember myself, and the DAB community praying for you not so long ago. I’m glad your still among us, and reaching out once again. After all these months, it seems as though you are still having issues entering into God’s rest. Please know that you aren’t the only one Justin. For most Christians, I would dare to say that this is something that we are all endeavoring to do on a daily basis. I read recently a good definition of what this rest is that God talks about in His WORD. 📖 The author of the article says, “God’s rest is a state, or place, where God rules and manages His Creation, free from the chaos and disorder brought about by sin and rebellion. ALL WHO WILL REST FROM THEIR OWN WORK OF BRINGING THEIR OWN LIFE UNDER CONTROL can enter into God’s rest.”…… What I get from this Justin is this, “and the Scriptures will verify this.” Is in order to enter into God’s rest, we need to cease from our own works, (or our own self efforts). (Hebrews 4:9-11) says, “So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered into God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore strive to enter that rest.” I quote a statement from Joyce Myers, [Now the rest of God is not a rest from work — it’s a rest in work. It’s partnering with God to do what He’s calling you to do by His grace, and leaving the part you can’t do in His hands, trusting Him to do it]. (Hebrews 4:3) says it this way; “For we who have (believed) enter that rest…. So Justin, we start by (believing). Maybe you should ask yourself, “Am I trying to hard to enter into God’s rest?” What the Bible is telling you and I is, entering into God’s rest is certainly something that we should be striving after. But, at the end of the day, how we achieve entering into the rest that JESUS is talking about comes from, and by God’s grace, and His grace alone. Entering God’s rest is something we appropriate by faith. God offers it to us, then our role is to receive it by using our faith. Our part is to cease from our own works, (our own self efforts) and to (believe) that the way to access God’s rest is by having faith to (believe) that what God offers us, (His rest) has been freely given to us, it’s ours for the taking. A good phrase to remember is — “FAITH TAKES!” Every good thing that you and I have ever received from God, or will ever receive from God in the future is obtained by our faith. We must (believe) — first, in order to receive…… Heavenly Father, Justin need assurance that in order to enter into Your rest, he needs to cease from his own work, and to receive (Your promise of rest) by him (believing), and by his faith….. We could view it this way Justin, God’s rest is a free gift that’s given to us by His grace. it’s a present 🎁 neatly wrapped that’s just waiting for us to open. Heavenly Father, my prayer is that, Your beloved son, and our brother in CHRIST, finds the rest that You’ve freely provided, and that he’s desperately yearning for. Abba, help Justin to enter into Your rest…

Love you Justin. Praying for you often. Hang on to JESUS brother, He will never let you go.

In JESUS’ matchless Name. Amen! ❤

Justin I want to remind you that no matter what you physically see or feel,god is always with you and you are IMPORTANT. If you are still here,that means that god is not done with you yet. I pray for strength and peace and wisdom to be bestowed upon you and that by the power of the Holy Spirit you feel his presence working in you and that you have healing of your body,mind and spirit. Read psalm 139. It helps me to remember that no matter what god is always with us and if your heart is true then the rewards will be granted to you. In Jesus name amen

Dear tenkai82; I am praying for you!
