Why Am I Thus - Audio

Historians believe Rebecca was barren for almost 20 years before God answered her and Issac's prayer for children. She was undoubtedly excited about the news of the baby, but as the pregnancy went on, she began to sense something was wrong. The Bible describes her as feeling like a war was going on inside her. Soon, the joyfulness of her pregnancy gave way to fear and uncertainty as she realized she was pregnant with twins. The worry became so bad that she began to question why she had even prayed for a child in the first place. The first question we ask when facing adversity is, "Why is this happening to me?'" That gives way to "what did I do that God is punishing me?" This is a slippery slope, and then we question if we are even worthy of God's answering our prayers and finally wonder if it is even worth it to serve God. This is dangerous thinking and a tool of the enemy. The truth is God can use any of us. However, sometimes, that involves some discomfort or struggle on our part. God answers prayers, but sometimes, that comes at the price of some chaos in our lives. Brother Hughes offers some things to remember to help us through these situations.
