FEELING A LITTLE DISCOURAGED
I'M FEELING A LITTLE DISCOURAGED. I KNOW THAT IN LIFE WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE ONLY FOR A SEASON, AND THERE ARE THAT FEW WHO IS A FRIEND FOREVER. NOW AT AGE 37 I STILL TEND TO HAVE SO OF THEM WHO COME AND GO. SOME BECAUSE OF LIFE SITUATIONS THAT IS MADE KNOWN, BUT YET MANY WHO JUST FADE AWAY. NEVER EVEN KNOWING WHY. ONE DAY I CAN BE IN CONTACT WITH THEM AND THE NEXT DAY CONTACT IS NO MORE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM THAT IS WHEN I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT THIS FRIENDSHIP HAS FADED AS WELL. IT HURTS BECAUSE THERE IS NEVER ANY REAL CLOSURE. THE SAD PART IS MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WERE SAID TO BE CHRISTIANS. EVEN THOUGH I AM A CHRISTIAN, I KNOW THAT I AM NOT PERFECT, HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE GOD TO SEND ME GODLY FRIENDS WHO ARE SINCERE, AND WHO IS VERY PATIENT WITH. SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP IN AREAS THAT I AM WEAK IN. THE BIBLE SAY WE MUST "BEAR WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE." I DON'T THINK IT'S VERY LOVING AND CHRISTLIKE TO JUST WALK AWAY FROM SOMEONE NOT TRY TO HELP THEM, OR EVEN LEAVE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THEY CHOOSE TO WALK AWAY. FOR THE MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO HAS DONE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REASONS WERE. MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING IN ME, OR IT WAS SOMETHING IN THEM. BUT ONE THING THAT I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT I TRUELY DO LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART. SO PRAYER WARRIORS, PRAY FOR ME.

RE: FEELING A LITTLE DISCOURAGED
Good morning Holy Spirit. Thank you for waking me up this morning and to see Dawn's request. Yes. Lord.
My dearest Dawn, I know exactly what you are going through right now because I have been there and probably worst. I had no one to call or talk to at the end but only the Holy Spirit who was with me all the time. I prayed to God to send me a godly christian friends but I didn't know that the devil answered my prayer. I had christian friends that came and almost brought me down with them but thank God and His Holy Spirit I was protected. They all turned away from me and used me and at the end I was the only one whom God used to saved them from destructions that they got themselves into. Praise the Lord. I was very confused because I was a new Born-Again Christian and I used to think that christian friends will be there for you. I believed every Word of God in the Bible and still do even more and all I could do is cried out to God and asked for wisdom, understanding and discernment of what was going on. I learned to trust God for everything, I mean everything. Litttle did I realized that God has given me a gift of Faith, Wisdom, Understanding and most of all Discernment. I was called an "old soul" growing up and friends always think of me as different and they would feel uncomfortable with me sometimes because I had the anointing of God. I didn't know it then and I didn't know what to do with it but now... oh...Glory to God what a blessing. Remember what I said to you in your Private Message. God has a high calling for you and you must give all yourself to Him. God is a jealous God and He does not want 90% from you, God WILL NOT share His glory with anyone else. He wants 100% of your whole being. I see things that other people can't, I can scan through this forum and tell you what is around them. Most of the time I just prayed at home while reading their requests. God is weeding those people away from you because He is preparing you for your destiny that God has intended for you to do before you were conceived. Dawn, it is truly a joy to know and to be able to talk to the Holy Spirit. He is real. He is sensitive. He is loving & caring. He is your best friend. You must surrender all to God through his son our Lord Jesus.
Lord Jesus, You are King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Wonderful is your name. You have the name that is above all names. You are Lord forever and there is no one who can challenge Your authority and power. You rule forever and ever, and there is no end to Your Kingdom. I bring Dawn before Your throne of grace, and ask that You would look upon her with Your favor. Your word says that You give strength to the weary, so I ask that You would strengthen her. Bless her Lord with Your presence, and encourage her heart. Remind her of Your faithfulness and Your love that she might stand in faith against the issues that she face. I bind the schemes of the enemy to tear her down, and I rebuke the spirits that have been assigned to harass Dawn. I ask You Lord to minister fresh strength and joy to Dawn. Father, I agree with Your word that says Your plans for Dawn are to give her hope and a future, let it be so, according to Your will. Joy comes in the morning, troubles they don't last always. Lord Jesus you are Dawn's best friend who will wipe her tears away. Lord, give her the knowing that she can make it, she can stand no matter what may come her way, her life is in your hands. Holy Spirit, when her tests and trials, they seem to get her down and all her friends and loved ones are no where to be found, please remind her that there's a friend she can trust -- her Lord and Savior; JESUS. Thank you Father, thank you Holy Spirit, thank you Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen.

RE: FEELING A LITTLE DISCOURAGED
I've recently lost my only close friend. He just walked out on me and has never contacted.
But I'm beginning to see how he was taking me away from important tasks I've now completed. And he had become very critical and discouraging.
We always have JESUS! Our Forever Friend!
