just sharing the realities of living as a Christian. Im 22 and had a stroke last May 2025. My left side became useless and there are many things I can’t do anymore. It’s been hell. Faith has been rocky. i have absolutely nothing left to hang onto in this life and faith is all I have left. The Bible says faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction ofthings not seen and my only hope left is in Jesus. These things really test you to the depth of your soul. I’ve always said I “believe” but was i willing to LIVE and DIE for Christ? I don’t think many people understand that nowadays. I finally learned what belief really means. Honestly I don’t know if I’ll eventually lose my faith or not there’s just too much suffering. I don’t know.
Sadly we live in a broken world where even things like a young person getting a stroke and become like this. It really seems unfair when people suffer these things, but what happens when these tragedies happen in this world. It's either we get mad and curse God and walk away or we go closer to him and know that's he is with us. God said he near the broken hearted. I am sorry what you went through, but the ultimate goal is when you are not on this earth one day and you are in the book of Life, you will get a glorified body where there is no pain, suffering, and death especially when the new heaven and the new earth are made.
Thank you for your words. I like the way you put it I have 2 choices right now draw closer or walk away. Honestly I don’t know what I’ll do yet but I still have some hope left
As long as you are alive you still got time and we will pray for you, but in the end it's only YOU that can the steps towards God. I can't do it for you.
Very sorry to read that. Hope things improve for you 🙏
That takes serious strength man, going through something like that at 22 would break most people but you're still here fighting
Thank you I’m hanging in there
i am sorry to hear that . your stroke may come due to health problems that you shall pay attention to ,for example some people have it due to high cholesterol,wrong way of eating (gluttony), stress in life (uncalm mind ..no faith ),......There are reasons thar something happen to which you shall pay attention and change yourself (bad habits). Other than that,something has happened don't regret it so much,try to move forward with what is at hand and motivate yourself daily with assurance you can find in youtube video,counsellors,prayer to God especially (asking for His strength and love).
It was caused by a genetic malformation something I was born with. But I see your point thank you
your welcome . God creates you especially and personally ,also for all individuals in this world. The weakness doesn't always meant really weak. People who are weak physically ,are catapulted spiritually (this is the supposedly plan),which may or may not happen depending on each person. All problems in this world have connections with humans'sins either hereditary(ancestral), by oneself , by environment. There are domino effects from all these three causes. However, it is our challenges to solve our own problems start from having spiritual strength by leaning on God.
