Pray For me

[newfaith]

I hope this is thr right forum, Im so used to moving threads to the right one I feel so out of place. Anyway. I guess I would not consider myself a "christian" but do believe in god and jesus. It is just I have lost my faith so long ago and fear I cannot gain it back by myself. My family and I are going through a hard time with my new baby girl that has been diagnosed with Cri-Du-Chat, so please play for Rebekah as well. But I need alot of strength to carry on right now, I feel everyday my family would be better without me but somthing keeps me here? Sometimes I think it is just I dont want to leave this earth in "that" way but alot of the times I do. Like now but again somthing keeps me here. I am 31 years old and have not accomplished anything in my life,exept my 2 darling children. I know I love my wife and kids and I think they can have it so much better without me. I just want my faith back and keep it through the good and bad times. Can someone again please pray for me. My name is Brandon and I am really hurting right now, so much the pain is dulling and afraid of the consequences of that! Thanks

Brandon

Dear friend just pray for Jesus to come into your life and give it all to Him and wonderful things will happen to you. It is never to late and you have alot to offer you need to have faith in God and faith in yourself you are a worthy person never think you aren't. I will pray for you and pray that God will pierce your heart and fill you until you overflow.

Hi Newfaith.

A few minor questions for you. You said you lost your faith Can you tell me what you did believe at one time, and what happened to you that you lost your faith?

It’s possible for you to regain it, but it takes a little bit of work. And your right, you’re right, you can’t do it yourself. You need to Rely on God, start reading the bible again, and find a good, bible teaching church. It’s going to take some time for you get back in the habit of going back to church again, and a while longer to get that One on One personal relationship with God. But this time it will be a lot better, a lot stronger, and worth the effort.

Newfaith, I’m going to pray for you and your little girl. For wisdom, peach, compassion and healing. Although God can heal your daughter, He may have a reason for her having Cri-Du-Chat. I know that doesn’t really help much, but I’ve found it’s true in a lot of things. Just trust.

God Bless you.

Thanks, Koraley and Nobod Special,
To answer your question NS, I would have to say I lsot my faith hmm at least 10 years ago and from what I remember(must be a senior moment) I don't rememebr why I lost my faith. I held the "traditional" view's of Christianity. Read the bible went to church( Nazarene) and just lost my way. And never climbed back up that hill. As for my daughter, yes I believe she is here for a reason I do believe that. I think I wont wait untill tomorrow to start reading the Bible I will start now. Again thanks!!

Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus. I am not afraid to pray unto you on this computer. for I know that you are everywhere at the same time. Even online wathing the things we say,the images we watch,and you are able to see the condition of our hearts as we type Lord. Father I have a special request that I would like you to grant for me. I feel a great deal of compassion for my brother Brandon, his daughter Rebekeh, and the rest of his family. Please father I ask if you would be so kind as to give Brandon the strength he needs to re-establish His faith in you. Give him strength to carry on day to day. Help him be a strong possitive leader in his household. Lord, let his wife have confidence in him, and keep a hedge about him, encamp him round about with protective ministering Angels so that the Enemy of his soul may be cut off from what he's attempting to do in his life. Inspire Him to seek you in Prayer, Fasting, and the reading of your Holy Word. And Father in the name of Jesus; There is no hurt Heaven can't Heal. Father in the name of Jesus you said by the stripe of Jesus Christ we are healed. Heavenly Father, I pray right now that you touch Rebekahs body Lord. Bring healing to her body in the name of Jesus. I know that you are able to do anything but fail.
Thank You Lord for inclining your ear unto my request We love You, and we praise you Heavenly Father, In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Holy Father, Brandon has come before you and this community for help in his greatest time of need. Please help him to see his place in your family, and his own family's continuing need for his abiding love and care. Help him to feel your special presence and peace in dealing with the stress and challenges he faces. And help him to truly appreciate the gift you have given him in baby Rebekah. Truly it is as helpless children, we stand before you seeking your strength and grace. It is the imperfections of this world that teach us so much of your love.

Brandon...
I will be praying for you and your precious family, especially your new little one. I am a special education teacher. My very first job (around 15 years ago) I had a student with Cri-du-chat. I remember my first day. I was sitting at a table talking with one of my assistants and this precious little girl crawled up to me, looked up to me and crawled into my lap. she wrapped her arms around my neck and I wept. There was so much love there. It is something I will never forget. Your child will mean something to this world. God has a special purpose for her...as this student did for me. And more than ever this precious one needs her daddy to teach her to love! Please hang in there and know that you are cared about and you are loved!! God bless you dear and I pray that the Lord will reveal His love to you.

Brandon, I will be praying for you. If you ask Jesus to come into your life and help heal you, He will. Sometimes He allows us to hit rock bottom because He so wants us to turn to Him so we will ask Him to forgive our sin so we can live with Him forever. Nothing is more important. He can give you the assurance that death is nothing to fear and at the same time give you a reason to keep living! He is the Great Physician. Sometimes it is amazing to look back and see His hand when at the time everything seemed so cruel. It reminds me of the poem:

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life
When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,
That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
There have only been one set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."

You might want to talk to someone in person about this. Maybe talking to a Christian Counseler where you can ask questions and talk in person (or at least on the phone) would help. Your family needs you. I don't know if there are people close to you, but you could call one or the number at the top to talk or have someone help you find somebody close to you.

Your family would NOT be better off without you, what would Rebekah do without her daddy. The world would be a poorer place without you.

I just wanted to say thank all of you for being so kind in your words. I have started reading the Bible again and hoping on my way to my "newfaith!!

Hi again, newfaith,

I almost sent this as a PM, but thought all might benefit. I don't know if you're much of a reader, but Nancy Guthrie has a book that might be helpful called, "Holding on to Hope". It's a study on the Bible book of Job, and not about her personal journey, but she has quite a story to tell.

She got married, and she and her husband looked forward to their first child, a baby girl named Hope. Hope was born with an inhertied congenital birth defect that was very difficult for both the baby and parents. She wasn't expected to live through the night, but survived for several years. Since an inherited defective gene was to blame, the parents got 'fixed' so it would not recur. However, it didn't work as designed, and they got pregnant again. There was only a 1 in 4 chance that the condition they faced with Hope would recur again; but sure enough it did, and they went through the same suffering again with another child.

Nancy writes on the sufferings of Job, with personal insight that taught her much about her loving Heavenly Father, and His care for each of us here on Earth.
