Urgent Prayer Requested

I come to you as my friends... we had a major crisis in our home tonight which could have ended up in a life of death situation... I started on this forum in January of this year and at the "same time" a situation arose in my immediate family. If it weren't for what I have learned on this forum since I started here, only God would have known the end result...
God has been preparing my wife and I, by most of the Word we learned from this forum... I thank God for all of you guys, and hope in some way that I have ministered to you in some way as well... My wife and I will continue to be strong in the faith as we go through this trial... Without giving details, please pray that God will have His way in our situation... We thank you for your love, patience and understanding... We have spoken the WORD in every area of this situation and we are fully trusting in God for a complete supernatural manifestation of His Goodness while we go through this... Thank you for being my friends "for such a time as this.." I love you guys...

We thank you for all of you encouraging words to us, as we "all" go through times of trials in this life... In our present situation, it is too early to see the outcome (as of now) in what God is going to do in the coming days, weeks, or months ahead as we face what's coming...
God does not want us to worry about "tomorrow." He wants us to know that He gives us all the help we need for "today," and when tomorrow comes, so will fresh help from Him...

Today, God's manna is the grace He gives us each day... If we worry about a situation tomorrow, (or several tomorrows), know this that there will be sufficient grace for those situations when they come... God wants us to simply rest in His Word and His ability of His Word to heal, deliver, protect and provide for us each day...

As we know, life can be very challenging, but how good or how bad our life is, has everything to do with our perception and reaction, in other words, our situations are either good or bad depending how we perceive trials and how we react to them...

When facing a trial, what if the way we have been looking at the circumstance isn't correct..? What if we are being distracted and not seeing the greater truth..? When we are going through a trial, if our perception is right, then our reaction will be right...

Take the example of when the "entire armies" of Israel saw Goliath and they perceived him as being "to big to kill" and they reacted in fear... But when David saw Goliath, he perceived, "He's too big to miss" and he reacted in faith and confidence that God would enable him to defeat him. (1 Sam 17).

Another example is when Apostle Paul faced his "trials," and he perceived them as a "light affliction."
So, through all of his beatings, imprisonments, shipwrecks, perilous journeys, perils in waters, in robbers, in his own countrymen, of the Gentiles, of the wilderness, perils of the sea, of false brethren, in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness, in hunger and thirst, in cold and nakedness... Paul perceived "all" these trials as "light afflictions" and he reacted in faith through all of them...

We can see that through David's, Paul's and our trials, we need to spend more time with Him and when it seems as though everything around us is caving in on us, we need to perceive it a "light affliction." As we face our trials, we need to make a decision now to spend more time with God and with the right perception will cause us to look at the trial and react in faith...

Once again, we can't go in detail in our situation but please continue in on-going prayers and encouragement for us...

Someone said, "we are chosen in eternity past, to live in the present (even in our trials) to forge the future."

And once again... Thank you...
(This small teaching (to ourselves also) is with the help from a recent encouraging letter from Jerry Savelle.)
