prayer for me

mina · Jan 22, 2004

I feel selfish asking for this but I don't have anyone else to ask to pray for me so i'm asking ya'll. I just feel really beat up lately. In my personal life and professional life I keep feeling like i'm not good enough, i don't deserve anything, there is nothing good in me, I'm not pretty, etc... I don't even know what to do to turn this around. There is a lot of minor bad things going on in my life that are affecting me emotionally. The only guy I've ever dated has told me he's not ready for a commitmment. I'm a teacher and my class is just having behavior problems right now. I have several parents of my students being really petty towards me right now and not helping me in supporting their child's education. It's just all adding up and I am feeling overwhelmed and it's hard to see the blessings through the rain. Please pray that God would protect me. I feel so rejected and not worth it. Pray that God would give me joy and help me through this. Pray that He would give me strength and draw me closer to Himself. And pray that something good would happen in the midst of all this. I sometimes feel that God has forgotten about me.

Honey girl, you sound like quite a giver to me. All the burden of teacher, the children of other people, their demands and fears and questioning, a guy who needs time and space....don't forget to care for YOU, 'kay?

You certainly have an eye for beauty...love that avatar. Why don't you just go off by yourself and sit on Jesus' lap and tell him all your hopes and dreams and fears and weary thoughts, and cry and through the tears He will show you just how much He loves YOU!....as He wipes them away slowly and gently...one..by...one....and breathes a fresh breath through your spirit, your heart and your mind and grants you rest in His ABLE ARMS. For one woman, you are shouldering many lives...you NEED to fresh up with Him often. YOU are as pretty as you need to be for the man whose heart finds yours to be home...remember that. If you need a pick-me-up, go get a new hairstyle or a manicure or just take a luxurious slow hot bath in candlelight to your favorite CD or DVD...throw a few rosepetals about, spray some perfume on your pillows...just be a girl. It feels GOOD to love yourself by yourself sometimes....

I don't want to sound like dear Abbey, not qualified, I just was touched by your pain and think these are suggestions I'd make to my dear child, if you were mine.

I'll also pray that you find some good intimate prayer partners very soon to share your heart with and trust with your pain and your joy.

Rest....in Him, LoveFromAbove, Shachah

Such a beautiful response posted by Shachah above. Take heart precious one. God loves you. Trust Him...He cares for you.

Please God, let her know you love her. In Jesus' name....AMEN

Don't you just wish sometimes that Jesus would come down and you could see Him and He would look into your eyes and tell you that you are beautiful and hold you close? I do. Someday we will see Him face to face...but until then remember to read all the love letters He wrote to you (the Bible).

Praying for you sweetheart.

praying for ya sweetie

i hope you get to feeling better about yourself - we all have doubts sometimes, and i know they can be rough. just remember that you're a beautiful person, perfect inside and out. sometimes i get down on myself too - times like that i have to remind myself that perfection isnt a part of human nature; no amount of willpower or guilt can get us there... only jesus' unconditional love.

mina · Jan 31, 2004

Thanks ya'll. Your prayers mean a lot to me. I'm sitting here crying as I read your responses. I'm still needing prayer. I feel so weak. God is good and I'm trying everyday to press into Him and His word. Nothing really makes sense anymore except Jesus. The only thing I know to do is to trust Him. And trust doesn't come easy to me. Please keep praying.

I hear you Mina! it sounds like the pressure is getting to you, believe me I know what that feels like. This to will pass, and in the meantime this situation is drawing you closer to God, that is an amazing thing. I had some real problems last week and I was really worried that i would lose my sight in one of my eyes, i'm still hoping that doesn't happen but the strangest thing happened, I have never relied on God so much in my entire life, that I realize now that it had to happen. My experience is hard to explain but all I can tell you is that it was a blessing in disguise, the things we go through can only draw you nearer to Him.

praying for you!!!

life can really mess you up sometimes. this has been the most trying month of my life, bar none. i haven't actually been living the christian life for years - i was trying to find my peace of mind through buddhism. anyhow, it was on my heart to come back to jesus, and three months ago i repented for everything - lord was that a long prayer

i started to see that i really had to change a lot of things in my life: behaviors, friendships, and hardest of all, i knew i had to break up with my girlfriend of four years. we were living together for one, which was a bad idea... that and the relationship had been really unhealthy for quite some time - left me feeling drained, and im sure she felt the same.

moving on from that was the hardest thing ive ever had to do - been having some panic attacks, trouble eating... change is hard for me. i praise god for keeping me through it all.

ive been keeping a journal of all the changes in my heart and mind over at http://yonderboy.info

if you would like, you're more than welcome to check it out... i hope you might find something encouraging over there. it's hard crying in an empty room - just know that you arent alone... still praying for ya

I just wanted to share that I stopped in to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you, dear Mina. The Lord also KNOWS you. He will always provide you with ALL the attributes and resources you need to accomplish His will for your life.

Be blessed in the engaging peace of His Presence.
