Please pray

[Kristen]

Pray for me please as I struggle with every dang thing in my life. It's getting to hard and I've had enough. It seems life will never be happy. So many problems, and I can't fix nothing as hard as I try.

 

[JagSayon]

I have. Take heart.

Kristen, if you can take your problems one by one and use it as stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks you will be amazed of your spiritual growth. First step to victory is to start praising God in your circumstances and I don’t say for your circumstances. Remember that you are in need for healing after your father’s death too. It takes time to go through the mourning process. I will keep you in my prayers.

Praying for you, Kristen.

Remember Peter! He began to sink into the water when he took his eyes off Jesus, and looked at the stormy waters around him!

I can definitely sympathize with the feeling that everything is wrong and won't be getting better any time soon. I don't have much in the way of advice, since Altya basically said it all (as usual ), but I will pray for you.

 

[Blessed-one]

it depends on how you respond, be assured that God will carry you through. I'll be praying.

 

[Kristen]

Thank you all for your prayers.

Hmmmm! Know what? EVEN though I know it is no consolation, I can guarantee EVERY Christian has without a doubt felt exactly like this at some point in their life.

I think the lesson here is to quit trying so hard to fix everything and let God take care of it.

I am a little reluctant to post a testimony here, but I will tell you this. I struggled with a particular problem after I became a Christian until I reached the point you describe.

So I simply told God in a conversational manner that He was well aware I had this particular problem and He was also aware I could not fix it myself. I had much proof of many failures.

So I said to God, "Fine. If this is the way You want it, so be it. But I am asking You to help me because I simply cannot do it alone. I am giving up and giving it to You. From now on it will be as You want it. So if You fix it for me, I thank You. And if you don't, I thank You anyway, and may it always be as you will.."

He fixed it for me. And He fixed it cleanly, expertly, and permanently. When we give up is when He goes to work. I will pray for You.

Father, in the Name of Jesus, do for Kristin, what you have done for me so many times. All Glory, Honor, Praise and Thanks go to You forever. And so it is.

. It really is difficult to lose someone that you truly love. Just remember that God is there for you in every situation, in good and bad situations. Look to Him for support, and do not forget that we are always here for you. Everyone needs time to grieve and mourn the lose of a loved one, death is not supposed to happen, sin brought death into the world, but you can and will get over this. As you have showed us all you are a great and unassailable person, and with God anything is possible.

Hey sis! Kristen, you a child of the King! You are the apple of his eye, you are wonderful in his sight! He loves you so much, and He wants you to be happy, and whole and healthy! Look around you, really good, go get a piece of paper and write down every single good thing and every little blessing God has given you. All of those little things ADD UP!For a moment , don't focus on anything bad, anything broken or falling apart, anything that makes you sad. I tell you to do this, because lately I have had the poor me's. Nothing is ever easy in my life, nothing. I can plan ahead for things MONTHS in advance, and by golly, it NEVER ever seems to go the way I PLAN! Or the way I WANT IT TOO! SOOOOOO, frustrating. But a friend of mine said, "stop looking at only the big things you ask for, but all of the little things you have asked for too!" Every day, God answers my prayers, I just get so caught up in the let downs, I overlook all of the glories and the little miracles every day! They are so many.

I want to praise God right now on your behalf, for your healthy baby you are carrying. Your sense of humor! You're sweet spirit, and your willingness to be a friend! Even to me, miles and states apart! You have blessed me many a day honey, and I love you!

Keep your chin up, you will be ok. You are His child, and you are under the shelter of His wings!

Praying for you!!!!!!!!

Oh, and sending baby presents soon!
