  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Am I allowed to post another prayer request? I am not sure, I couldn't find any info, so please someone let me know. I don't want people to think I am asking too much!!

Anyway, I posted last week about my husbands job and our financial worried. We did receive part of the money owed to us (which is great) I have been fasting and praying for the other half to come in

Our financial situation continues to be bad, it just seems that the bills are all coming in at once. We haven't managed to put aside any money to cover them. I find that I am praying for God to provide even the simple things. (like a loaf of bread and a carton of milk because I am scared that the money won't be there for it)

We have been in this situation before, and God has brought us through it, but I am still so scared.

My MIL is a Christian counsellor and I would love to talk to her, but she can't fight the urge to counsel, I know all the platitudes, I just want an ear!

The problem I am finding is that my husband is becoming withdrawn when I need him the most. I want to pray with him and seek God together, but he just gets angry with me and we have an argument. I am trying so hard to be a good wife and mum. I need God's strength and provision. I am asking for a miracle to boost my faith. I have heard stories (even from my own MIL) about finding food on the door step or a cheque in the mail. Never experienced it myself, but I just need some sign that everything is gonna be alright.

Of course you can post as many requests as you need, don't worry about that. Whatever God lays our your heart to ask prayer for, we are here to pray for you!

Lifting your situation in prayer. I hope that you will receive the assistance that you need and that the other half of the money owed to you will be paid in a timely fashion so that you or your husband will not have to worry so much. :hug: My guess is that is why your husband is withdrawing from you, it is because of the worry he is feeling. Some people, as you have stated about yourself, find comfort and support in being around others, while other people tend to withdraw and need to be by theirselves when they are worried. Praying that this will be resolved soon!

oh man, I have lived thru it too. :sigh: I'm sorry your family is going through this. It must be even tougher that your husband is shutting down. I don't want to dispense advice but sometimes I think the best encouragement a guy can get is just a hug from his girl. :kiss:

anyway, having been the recipient of a lot of last-minute mystery money and food deliveries, etc., I can tell you it DOES happen! God is just too cool. But I also know that it is really nerve-wracking and frustrating... so I will keep praying for your family for a long time. I still have a sort of fear of that... and resentment sometimes when I can't have something I want. It do make one edgy.

:hug: :hug:
