| 0:00.0 | Well, last week I told you rather vulnerably that I've been a little bit in the fire. |
| 0:06.6 | How many of you are kind of in the fire going through some difficult times right now? |
| 0:09.4 | You can type in the comment section if you want to. I'm in the fire. I told you my family's been |
| 0:13.8 | dealing with some personal struggles, some painful challenges and health issues in our family. |
| 0:20.6 | And as I was thinking about it, |
| 0:22.7 | I think the hardest part is not just that we're fighting against our spiritual enemy, |
| 0:30.2 | but I think the hardest part in many ways is that kind of I'm wrestling with God in the middle of this. |
| 0:35.8 | Some of you might have something in your own life that you can relate to. You're not just fighting against the middle of this. Some of you might have something in your own life that you can |
| 0:39.3 | relate to. You're not just fighting against the forces of darkness, but you're wrestling with God. |
| 0:45.1 | You're not angry with them, not walking away from him, but maybe you're wrestling about something, |
| 0:50.2 | and you're asking some real serious faith questions like, God, why didn't you do what I |

| 1:11.4 | you haven't quit on God. You're not walking away from God, but maybe you're wrestling with him a little bit. And if that's you today, it's my prayer that by the power of the Holy Spirit, God would speak to you through His Word. And so I'm going to ask him to do that just now. Would you just pray with me. Father, we thank you for your presence. We thank you for the risen Christ. |
| 1:29.6 | We thank you for your living word that never now. Would you just pray with me? Father, we thank you for your presence. We thank you for |
| 1:28.2 | the risen Christ. We thank you for your living word that never returns void. God, would you speak to |
| 1:35.2 | everyone who's wrestling in a way that would draw them close to your son, bring comfort, bring hope, |
| 1:41.1 | and bring healing? We pray in Jesus' name. If you agree, say amen. |
| 1:46.7 | We are in a message series. |
| 1:48.4 | It's called Jesus Always. |
