Good day everyone! I have some prayer requests I'd like to post.
The first two are "selfish" desires, though I guess all prayers can be misconstrued as selfish. Regardless ...
The first is, I have been having trouble sleeping lately. It is hot where I live, and even though we have central air, it is a bit too hot for me to sleep properly most nights. I also have a job that is sometimes physically demanding and I end up with pain when I try to sleep. OTCs help some but I would prefer an alternate solution. I do not have nightmares or dream problems - just trouble sleeping right now.
The second is that I want to find another job/career that uses my skills, but I am stumped on where to look and how to get started. It's a rather specific skill set that is not going to be coming up on typical places like job-search sites. (When I DID use those places, I got pretty much zero response, anyway.) I am working on my resume but would appreciate prayer for guidance.
The next request may seem very odd to some, but I am serious about it and would like prayer if you are so inclined. Here goes ... I have struggled for years with spiritual oppression. I do not want to go into too many details until I am more comfortable with the folks here. I will say that I firmly believe I've been oppressed demonically. (Not possessed - I have been saved since I was very young. Just strong oppression.) Sometimes it is not bad, like right now, but sometimes it is very, very clear and obvious. A friend in the past year has helped me see that I'm not nuts/not imagining demonic oppression. Again, I'll go into more detail as I feel comfortable - I'd like to share the stories if you are interested in hearing. But, for now at least, please pray for me to be able to fight, to keep on the full armor of God, and to trust and lean on Him first and foremost. I know my struggle is not against flesh and blood, etc. Pray for strength and skill as I fight the spiritual battle.
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds and prays!!!!!
