Transcripts
hello my friend it is nice to see you
again
and I know from the troubled look on
your face that you are glad to see me
the feeling is mutual my brother and or
sister in Christ I won't dilly dally
with small talk
I'll get right to the point there are
probably a number of reasons why you are
watching this video perhaps you seek
wisdom from an old soul such as myself
perhaps you are in a position in your
life where you feel scared and lost
uncertain of what to do next perhaps you
have come here as a final Cry for Help
as you can tell from the title I am here
to give you life advice lessons I have
learned throughout my time in the wastes
and the different trials and
tribulations that I have endured and
most importantly overcome making me who
I am today all of which have accumulated
into the man you see before you so allow
me to offer a shoulder to lean on as
support an ear to listen to for comfort
and a mouth to speak for healing and
wisdom now my friend my brother or
sister in Christ I have unfortunate news
to share with you before I start when it
comes to life there really is no set
rules on how to go about doing things
you can ask 100 people how to live life
and not one will give you the same
answer
in that Revelation you might find
anxiety and uncertainty I say one can
find beauty in that the answer to our
lives can be whatever we want there are
no set parameters on how to live life
but you can certainly try to live the
best life that you think you can
that may not be a comforting answer but
it is okay I am here to offer assistance
in the best way I can scripture and
emotional support I understand that life
right now is extremely uncertain and
nerve-wracking for you maybe you aren't
doing well financially and are
struggling to get by perhaps a major
life event has derailed your original
plans of Life maybe you have just
graduated college and are unsure of what
to do next believe it or not I have
faced similar struggles but in different
venues but I found my peace in a few
mantras and verses here's the first
piece of advice I will give you in times
of struggle anxiety and Chaos remember
that you and only you are responsible
for your own well-being and happiness
the Wasteland is a scary dark and
negative place but that doesn't mean
your Wasteland needs to be a scary dark
and negative place in moments of high
anxiety grounding yourself in God's
beauty that is nature helps the best try
the four by four by four method of
breathing a and identifying sights
smells sounds and tastes in your area
this will bring you back to reality and
soothe your anxiety it has helped me
from time to time as well
but even with your newfound piece you
may be scared of what to do or scared to
try to do something new
trying something and the fear of failure
may drive you to the point of not trying
at all
in my eyes failure is the best teacher
I think the best method of thinking
about failure and trying new things is
that mistakes are proof of trying
it is better to have tried and failed
than to have never tried it all and
remember the Lord walks with you in all
ventures of life no matter how big or
small they may be
perhaps you are still not convinced that
life was meant for you
the pain you feel inside outweighs the
drive to move forward and the will to
continue on with life
may I pose a question to you friend
when God creates things whether it be an
animal or a human he makes them in His
image when God created you he had an
image for you God doesn't create things
for the sake of creation he creates
things with purpose and God gave you
your life because he knew you would be
strong enough to live it but despite
this there will still be pain emotional
pain spiritual pain and physical pain
is the best teacher but that is all pain
has to be whatever else that comes with
pain is added from you pain is growth
but suffering is optional in these
troubling times I often turn to
scripture I understand the world is in
chaos whenever I get caught up in the
troubles and woes of the world Psalm 27
verses 13 and 14 say that I remain
confident of this I will see the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the
living in everything even in darkness
God's beauty is there and God is always
with you wherever you may be no matter
where you may be life is a complicated
thing my friend it can be scary it can
be terrifying and it can be crushing but
like all things both good and bad
nothing lasts forever and those moments
will pass as do all things in life
I'm sorry if I'm not helping I know that
everyone had a different view on life
but I hope the words I have shared give
you hope allow me to share with you a
story when I was covered in tar and
pitch and set Ablaze while nailed to a
cross much like our Lord and savior as I
was casted down from the Cliffs of the
Grand Canyon betrayed by my once thought
friend Caesar and his Legion
I thought that God had forsaken me that
the end of the line was here
death would soon engulf me in his
embrace
but the fire that burned inside me the
fire that God had instilled in me the
fire that burned brighter than the fire
around me kept me alive and death had no
power over me
I may be covered in bandages but I was
baptized in fire that night and Born
Again into the man I would become
through the roads I walked helping the
tribes of the canyon my time with The
Courier and my Adventures doing the
Lord's work all of it was part of my
life and I hope that one day you may
find peace in your life and begin to
live life the way you want to
before I go allow me to say a prayer for
you
hold my hand brother or sister close
your eyes and let us pray
heavenly father I thank you for bringing
this friend this humble child of your
light into my company today
allowing me to share the joys and
wonders of life that I have experienced
with many I have met
Lord I can see the pain in their eyes
and the restlessness in their soul
they yearn for peace my Lord
I pray that on this day you lift up
their anxieties and troubles and allow
this person to give their struggles to
you Lord
allow them to be happy and whatever may
come their way whatever may happen
let it happen in a way they can manage
Lord
tonight let them rest in peace and
prepare for the challenges ahead
and that you may walk hand in hand with
them
give them the strength to do what they
thought impossible the courage to change
the things they can the serenity to
accept the things they cannot change the
wisdom to know the difference and most
of all Lord allow them to be accepted
into your light for their time of
Darkness begs for your light to show
them that there is always light at the
end of the tunnel thank you Lord in
Jesus name I pray amen safe travels my
friend I suggest you get some rest for
tomorrow the time for talk is over
tomorrow the Lord's work must be done
God bless you friend and may God be with
you wherever the roads may take you
