Prayer for Wednesday

Good Morning Ya'll...

I must confess that today not only do I feel horrid, I am in a bad mood. Please excuse the "lack luster" posts through out the day. Truly, I am tired of the stress I am under and I am really tired of waking up sick and staying that way for most the day.

BUT I am posting this for a good reason and willingly.

Lord,

I thank you for this board. If it wasn't for this board being created, we wouldn't have been led here and met so many ladies. I just ask that you remind us that we are here in friendship and love. I ask that you close the mean spirited comments and You guide us to speak out of love and kindness.

In You Son's name...

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. --I Corn 13:4-7

This verse has been in my head for 2 weeks now in regards to the situation with Jeff. It has helped me more than I ever could imagine and it has been a confirmation on how I feel about him.

I think that today after reading some posts this is a verse that can an encouragement for us today as well.

Thanks Sharla...

It's going to be a hard day for me. I have yet again taken the control out of His hands and tired to deal with it on my own. Patience is not a strong point when it comes to things.

I have a long battle ahead of me today with lots of whispers from the enemey. My spirit is fighting with my nature and it's never pretty when that happens with me.

I am sorry you are having a tough day. I have been there so many times. It can be hard to turn away from what I want and submit to God. Just remember that when you ask for it in Jesus name it will be given to you. Calling on Him to help and guide you is one of the most powerful things you can do. Whenever I have negitive thoughts it really helps to sing a song or put in a cd of my favorite hymns. I'll pray that God be with you on what ever is going on in your life.

All I can say is thank you.

I just can't seem to let go and I know I must. I know the answer is wait but then nothing seems to be supporting that.

I have a funny feeling I am going to be in the bathroom, only place I can get away, an awwful lot today praying.

Jeff is the main issue, then work followed by money, then school and the decisions there...

but the main one is Jeff..all I keep hearing in regards to him is patience...like I have that and God so knows that.

I am under enough stress that it is effecting my body.

Just trying to do what needs to be done faithfully and at the same time dying to self.

karrie, I hope your day got better. I know you have a lot going on with jeff etc. Like you said you just have to be patient and wait for an answer. My mom always used to tell me that God always answers prayers. It may not be the answer you want to hear at the time, but it is always for the best. As I look back on some of my prayers she was so right and I thank God daily that he did what was best for me not what I asked.

I call on you, o God for you will answer me. Give ear to me and hear my prayer.

Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me in the shadow of your wings. Psalms 17:6-8

I love the image of God sheltering us in his wings. Just wrapping his arms around us and holding us tight when we need it. My prayer for you is that he shelters you in his wings today.


Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3

Hang in there. Things will get better. sharla

i just don't understand if it is wait why is there so much pain involved in it at the same time. i just don't understand why everything in my is telling me it is right and everything else is wait and still.

and i don't get why i can't ever listen to Him when He is telling me something. i don't understand why after 24 yrs i can't tell what is His voice and what is mine.

i am just tired of it all.
