I badly need to see the truth of God's Word

I felt like I could have written what you wrote - you have the same kind of reasoning/ wrestling: Here are God's Promises - why aren't I seeing their fruition? It makes no sense to keep experiencing and living less than what you know you can and less than what you think God wants - it's an uncomfortable situation: you trust the bible - you know it's true - you trust God's desire for good - yet it never comes to pass.
I pray that somehow you, others, and I will somehow have a breakthrough. I've been meaning to fast again but it's hard. Our old pastor said 'pray until you touch the throne' but I did that.

Yep, I've tried fasting also. I still fast when I feel one is in order. I noticed how you said your son's business isn't taking off. That's the decision we were talking about that cost us to loose lots of money. We started a remodeling business with another family, and we provided the seed money from my husband's inheritance from my mother-in-law. It did not pay off. Our partners worked and got no rest, especially the husband, the excellent carpenter. He would have offers from Ryan Homes for example to help build the new houses (that's how good he is with wood) only for them to fall through. He did become a subcontractor for Thompson Creek for a while, but he didn't get enough work. They asked for additional money as well. Without getting into all the details, the business never took off and went under. I did not want to be like the foolish servant who buried his talent. Plus, we were already praying to God for recompense for my husband getting the shaft in his job. We really believed this business opportunity was of God. We thought it was an act of obedience to partner with this couple since they helped us when we were in a jam and it was a sincere attempt to improve our income since my husband quit his job to be a stay at home dad for our son. I am the breadwinner and it is a burden on me, commuting for two hours each way and having not been promoted for 12 years. I have tried other ways of making money that have not worked out either. I'm so glad we found each other. I thought my husband and me were the only Christians in the whole world experiencing this. I pray that your son's business takes off. God Bless You Sister!

Janet, just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you! I've asked God to give you hope. We can't live without that, but so many times I have felt hopeless. Hang in there. He hears you!
