Hello all, I'm guessing in order to get help I will first need to explain myself, and what needs I have... so here goes. I am a born again Christian, and I confess Jesus Christ as the word that became flesh and dwelt among man, and Is Lord, savior, and the one true God. I also believe in apologetics, Not apologies. Christ is a stumbling stone, and the Word of God is foolishness to those that perish. So with that being said, I do not have a single liberal, or agnostic bone in my body. The reason I'm pointing this out, is not to be arrogant, just want real prayer, and biblical help. Its okay to cut me, and make me search my heart, and bible. So if an of you have advice or scripture, please by all means PM me. Ty.


What I need intercession for is my life. I am struggling to find any meaning or point to my life what so ever. I'm stuck. My life has turned into one boring never ending eternity. I so hate my life, but I don't know where God wants me. 19 years ago, I got in trouble with the law, and my family sent me away. Being all but disowned, I have only been allowed visitation of my family for the last 18 years of my life. I am now at a point in my life where I am tired of being alone, abandoned, and broke. I'm sick of surfing the web, playing games and just trying to get by. God did not purpose my life to be this. There has to be some point to my exsistance. I have been praying for my Damascus. For God to change me into the new creature He has purposed me to be. I need to "do" something with my life other than just sit here, doing nothing of the work of God. I feel kinda like the hearer in James that is told to be a doer of the word, and not just a hearer. Problem is, I have no fellowship with other believers, and I really don't know where to look. I need some Christian support and fellowship in my life.

This one is a biggie, I do not know if my brother is saved. First of all... He's a cop, and see's himself as the "good guy". Not at all as bad as others. Also his church's preaching drives me nuts. They do not speak about Jesus. They go on and on about "the lord" or "the son of god". They end everything: "in his holy name". (His) who? Who's name? What lord? They never actually Confess Jesus. Then I once listened to an entire hour of their confession to holy baptism for the remittance of sins. They actually preach baptism is salvation. They forget about the part where you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. Nope.... just get baptized in "the lord's" name. Also his life is nuts. And he really needs emotional healing.

Then there is my youngest daughter. (she dose not live with me) She has gone totally off the deep end. She is promiscuous, proudly so. She is using drugs, running away, fighting, and in trouble with the law. She is 16 years old and will curse out a police officer to their face. She has even beaten up my 67 year old Mom. This child is Waaaaaaaaay outa control, and we need alot of prayer there. She is not saved, and could be dead in any moment. I fear for her life and her soul.

My Mom is the matriarch of the family. She dose everything. My Mom runs the family. My brother, my two daughters, and my niece live with Mom. She pays ALL the bills, cleans the house, dose the homework etc. By herself. She had even paid my bills for the last 2 years. She also takes care of her mom and has a full time job with overtime at Hernando Pasco Hospice. This woman is a saint ,and a blessing from God Himself. She is also a pinnacle in the community and dose allot of extra's for the family, and her community. Like Den mother, cheer leading, youth group, etc. Might be hard to believe (not) but she has become very bitter at life, and cry's allot. Claiming life to not be fair. She is totally angry that her families life has fallen apart. An she honestly think all of our problems are her fault. Even me taking 2yrs to find a job. Some how she feels like a failure. Just to put it out there, I am direct depositing my paycheck to my Mom. She is a money guru. She'l get a buck 25 cents from a penny.


So..... this is my messed up world I live in, and Im looking for honest spirit lead prayer concerning these situations. Father, I come before you I Christ Jesus name asking you to touch the hearts of those you will lead to intercede in our behalf. I also ask you to bless my Mom, and give her what is required to endure the trials laid before her. As for my daughter Keisha, and my brother: I first pray for their souls, and ask that you bring them to the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Secondly, I pray that your will may be done in their lives. I place them in your loving care, knowing no matter the situation, you alone are sovereign. I thank you Jesus for your assurance in your faithfulness to hear our prayers, and I join in agreeance with those in the spirt according to your promise, as it is written: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. We thank you in all goodness and faith that your promises are yeah, and amen. And we thank you for your grace in this time of our need in Christ Jesus name.:pray:

I love all of you, and thank you for all of your concern, prayer, and time committed to this cause. I will pray for all of you concerning this thread. May God bless you all. Thank you.

Hi, let me see if I have this straight. You're brother's a cop, and your mom's supporting him by paying all the bills?

To change the subject radically, what's stopping you from finding a Bible-believing church to attend? I pray that you seek solid Christian fellowship. I also encourage you to read the Word, and will keep you and your family in prayer... blessings!

Yep, He has to pay $960 a month in child support for his 2 sons and it wipes him. He has also had troubles with his second wife taking money for drugs. He lost his house over it. The man needs help. My brother pays all his bills. no money left for new home.

Hi again, we all need help, perhaps some more than others... thank God for Jesus, right?

I agree. Thats why I am reaching out in faith. I know I need help, and there is only one answer: Jesus. God will touch hearts, prayers will be made and answered. My brother is in Gods hands. Let him ask in faith nothing wavering. I know my God. He will turn his ear.

Father God, I pray that you would give this brother renewed purpose and direction for his life. Thank you that you can bring hope to even the most hopeless situation. I pray that you would protect His daughter and draw her close so that she would come to know Jesus as her Savior. I pray that you would bless his mother with peace and strength and that she would find comfort and rest in You when she is feeling weak. In Jesus' precious name, amen.

My prayer is that the Lord's peace, light and grace will break into this situation, teaching and empowering everyone to take greater responsibility for themselves, and for your Mom to take less blame on herself. Somewhere, somehow, the Lord has the perfect solution for this, and I pray you find it.

Hi "Lost"

I didn't know all of this stuff was going on with you when you and I started talking. I feel for you, although there isn't much I can really do. The world is the pits sometimes, I hope and pray that you will be okay. You and your family. I know that when Christ returns, He will set the world up right again. That's probably not much comfort now. Drugs ruin lives, and not just the life of the user. Everyone around them too. I really hope that you make it, and I hope that our argument didn't make things even worse for you. You are very kind to try to help me while you are going through such troubles.

For those of you who are following this drama I call a family, here is an update.

My brother, as you already know, is a state trooper. What you didn't know is that he was a vehicular homicide detective for the majority of his years as a cop. He had to work any fatal crashes involving at least one vehicle, and drunk driver incidents in his district. He finally had to change jobs, and was willing to be demoted to traffic, as just an officer with no rank, to get away from the death he saw constantly. He was allowed to keep his rank, and pay, and has been working traffic for a couple of years now. The part I need prayer for is this. We have all seen the films of the state trooper on the side of the road with a pulled over vehicle that gets hit by a drunk driver. Yep, you guessed it. This happened to my brother just the other day. Problem was the person stopped getting a ticket was on a motorcycle when he was struck by an SUV going 70 mph on the turnpike, and had lost control. My brother tried desperately to save the kids life (he was like 19-20), and was able to perform CPR keeping him alive until EMT had a arrived. My brother describe how he stared into this kids eyes and they were pleading my brother to please save my life. But Eric knew he couldn't. My Bro is a basket case right now. He is way to "manly" to cry, and he broke down in sobs when he came home and saw mom. To add gas to the fire he has suicide watch on the skyway bridge. So I ask for prayer for him, and lets not forget the family of the one who died. We also must forgive the individual who committed this act of manslaughter. Especially me, I'am so mad at this drunken idiot. No I think I'm right.... you drink and drive you an idiot! I honestly hope and pray that you only hurt yourself, and not someone else.

I do thank you all for your continued pray for me and my family.
