even i need prayer

[hotwu]

i do not often ask people to pray for me at all... i think it is easier to ask everyone here for prayer because i do not know you... i am sure that a lot of people are struggling with different things and although my troubles might be considered small to others, i still feel i need some help from God.

to the point, i have a family of my own and they rely on me for all their needs... i am an independant computer programmer... business was highly successful last year, but it has been going down hill since late last year... during my success i often gave glory to God for what he did for me and now that i feel it is falling apart i find myself wanting to put blame on him for everything.

i do thank God for my family... especially my daughter... i feel i need to make that clear. i have been blessed with a supporting wife and some good friends, but i am still struggling.

if nothing else, maybe this post will just serve as a helpful reminder to others who may be struggling that you are not alone... and maybe that is what a forum like this is supposed to be about... support and fellowship.

Heh heh... it is always important to remember when blaming God for all the bad things in one's life to also blame him for all the good things... Oh and then there is always blameing oneself, but that's hardly as appealing as blameing anyone else. God gave us the power to change our lives. Remember that if you are not doing well at computer programming, it is because of God that you have the power to do something totally different if you mustered the ambition. It may be difficult, it may not be fun, but you have the ability, so why should God do all our dirty work? You have within yourself to be successful, and you have within yourself to change if needed, or if not even!

Ah, don't mind me. I am really not trying to be hard on you or anything, just trying to offer some persepective. People can accomplish great things on their own merit. I pray God gives you the strength to be successful, and that things pick up for you, so that you do not have to see hard times.

maybe God just wants you to slow down a little and concentrate on him more. sometimes the more money we make the further we draw ourselves away from him. If you're still working it's enough to be thankfull for. I will be keeping you in my prayers. If you need more work I'm sure God will send it to you, you just have to ask him for it. I know he has brought me many jobs when I needed them.

hotwu, I'm praying for you... it's not an easy place to be. Please try not to worry, but look to Jesus, cast all your anxieties on Him, for He loves you.

I'm praying that the Lord will lift your heart and in so doing take care of all the difficulties for you, bless you.

I do not ask this to offend I ask this because I have felt this way at times. Do you not often ask for prayer for yourself because you may feel the trials you are going through are small compared to others? Is it easier to pray than be prayed for? Once again I am not trying to offend,and if anyone knows why we do this please enlighten me.It is pleasing in Gods eyes for us to ask for help in times of need, and to pray for one onother. Matt.18:18-20 and to comfort one another 2 Cor 1:3-7 Yes we all have times that hurt or confuse us, and yes we need prayer. You may be feeling low however you are not defeted you are A WINNER THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
