what do you do when you’ve lost God? | abiding in agape

My ministry with Young Life. What do you do when you’ve lost God? February 19, 2015. February 19, 2015. Hey, I know the feeling. The feeling that you’ve asked Jesus into your heart so many times you’ve lost count. The feeling of emptiness when nothing comes to fill that part of you that you thought was supposed to be for him. When no one answers back. What even IS this? You cry out. He’s not even meeting you halfway! What the heck, God? I say to God, my rock: ‘Why have you forgotten me? I became isolated...

My ministry with Young Life. Young life and prayer. July 31, 2014. July 31, 2014. Why don’t we pray more in America? A few weeks ago at church we were blessed to have Pastor Shodankeh Johnson come from Sierra Leone, Africa to preach several messages on prayer and fasting. It has turned our church around. Couple of weeks ago. 8221; To this day that song gives me goosebumps. 8221; I was taken aback. “About what? 8221; I said. She just wanted to pray. Just because. We prayed out loud together in...When I wa...

be still… | abiding in agape
https://larhope.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/be-still
My ministry with Young Life. August 6, 2015. They’re awesome. Anyway, Rigo and I got to talk about how much we missed Germany and it was so good to reminisce, but it truly was one of those conversations that make you take a big breath and realize 2 things: I’m gonna make it. And…. God has not left me. God loves me even when I don’t feel like He does and nothing is going the way I want it. Like when I’m working myself into a psychotic frenzy of useless yet paralyzing anxiety, it has this way of calm...

My ministry with Young Life. I wish grace and healing were more abracadabra kind of things. Also, that delicate silver bells would ring to announce grace’s arrival. But no, it’s clog and slog and scootch, on the floor, in the silence, in the dark. Grace [Eventually]: Thoughts on Faith. I smiled back at her. I thought such awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish. If I can’t change my own heart (and I can’t...Anything ...

My ministry with Young Life. A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. April 16, 2014. April 16, 2014. A good friend of mine likes to ask her friends a peculiar question when she wants to know how they’re really doing: “When was the last time you cried? 8221; If the person couldn’t remember, or it had been a long time since their last cry, she knew she had reason to be concerned about them. Is this what it means to build your house on Christ the solid rock and not on everything I’ve lost? You say that you...

My ministry with Young Life. May 25, 2014. May 25, 2014. Putting yourself in a place where if God doesn’t come through, you’re screwed. I forget where I originally heard that, but it stuck with me. That’s what we talked about in church today, in 2 Samuel 15 where David is suddenly back to his normal, God-fearing self after his devastating mistake with Bathsheba, and repents yet is on the run. Eal repentance relinquishes all the rights to control the circumstances of the consequences…. You would think I&#...
