You're doing well Mel, for being 19 y.o., you are living @ home, but you are in college & pursuing the career of your dreams, you are staying pure, of flesh, of heart, believing in GOD, & love. We transform in CHRIST, by HIS LOVE, over time. Stay close to GOD, to THE WORD, "love at all times," that you will know the, fruits, of The Holy Spirit, peace, love & joy. Part of the testing is that we remain strong in JESUS' WORD, even through our trials.   Mel-S Wrote:I'm still building up hope, even when things are taking forever... but I'm still building my faith and hope to have the future that I desire to have. Nothing has changed on what I desire in my heart, nor will it ever... it's as pure and well as it can get. In Jesus name, Amen. |

Mel, Don't give up hope just yet. Usually things get tougher as a way to test us. Think of it like when metal is molded. First, it's heated up, then the cool water is applied. It's beaten and perfected and process is repeated until it is just right. Glass and metals are purified in an identical manner. Basically, there's the initial trial that we go through (the heat), then everything seems to settle down, and then we are hit with another trial that seems worst than the first. It is all a purification process in order to get us to be molded the way the Lord would have us to be. Perhaps God is trying to get something in you to grow or attempting to get you to give up something. That's why I continue to recommend that you pray for His guidence. He will show you what to pray for--because He wants to answer your prayers--He will show you what to do while in your situation. Crying and worrying won't do any good--therefore, put it in God's hands. Allow Him to have the reins. Remember Christ said to take His yoke, because His burden is light. The Lord only wants the best for you so do not give up. I kind of had the same kind of experience within the last few days. My friend, unfortunately, made a pass at me and he has a girlfriend. I was not receptive and I was quite frankly confused about it. It really hurts me, because I do not want to be used in such a way, even if he has a bad relationship right now (I don't particularly care for his girlfriend, but I respect her enough not to be an adulterer or a tempterous) and I have had feelings for him before. It's especially hard because I do care and I have a certain love for him--even if I'm not "in love." I think it is probably the same thing you might be going through--a difficult trial that is meant to test you and mold you to be more like Him. Like me, you just have to trust that the Lord is in control and, after all, He's been God a loooooooong time and He knows what He's doing.  Hope that this has been an encouragment for you. Hang in there and be strong. Lost Love |

Mel, we want the best for you here at this prayer site! I am glad someone sparked inspiration as to miracle stories. I have one also, God Does Workk Miracles! Your nature appears that you are determined to seek the best from God for yourself, your family, & all in the name of Love. There is nothing wrong with this! To remain pure, of the flesh, of the heart, is wonderful & pleasing to HIM. It is our stories we share as Christians, the miracles we see along the way in our transforming, that are awesome! Be at peace. & celebrate JESUS this Christmas, that he gave you a big heart to love. We know that is what you desire.. it will all work out in His Timing! We live by faith not by sight. That can take on a whole new meaning as a Christian at times. Our rewards are eternal & Heaven Bound. I think you get this. You are 19 & have set your sites very high. I believe that most of all here at this prayer site, from the posts I read & what I write & believe, we want your salvation & for, MEL, to see how special, MEL is & to CHRIST. Trust that HE WILL GIVE you the desires of your heart.. it's HIS TIMING, my dear! Just go about being the best you can be for CHRIST & watch the miracles happen.. again & again.

| Father, bring healing to these parents that they may be made well. Father bring peace to Mel's heart that she might hear your voice. Give her an obedient spirit that she may know peace by surrendering to you. Father help her to focus on something else besides this man for now as it is out of her hands...and in yours which is the best place that it could be. In Jesus name...amen! |

| Today was definitely not one of my best days, especially going back to school... from morning to now... things have gotten me very upset. First some 30-something y.o Muslim was trying to hit on me, asking me my name, number, if I had a boyfriend (forgive me Lord, but I lied and said yes, but even You know why I said yes)... I was scared and creeped out, saying he wanted to be my friend and even though I had a boyfriend and we had 'troubles', I can lean on him as a friend... then he wanted to take a pic of me on his cell phone to 'remember me by'. I quickly grabbed my stuff and walked off, but he said he already gotten the picture of me, which I hope he was lying... and I'm scared to death that he might stalk me or find me or something... I'm scared and upset... Then... I found out that my dad now has bronchitis. Also, my mom has continuous chest pains, but goes away every once in a while... she's still smoking... more heavily than she usually does now... and makes excuses on top of excuses not to quit... I miss my love (-ex-boyfriend) so much... never got a chance to see him or talked to him... and on top of that, I'm feeling sick from the weather... and just plain depressed... It seems that everything I pray for... it keeps getting worse... my desires mean everything to me... and they are meaningless if one or some are so null and void and forever unanswered... things aren't well with me right now... please pray for me... my parents... my (ex)boyfriend who I want to be saved and want to be with again or else I will be alone forever because I only want him and no one else (Eve only had Adam, and I pray I only have him too)... for God to show me that these desires aren't stupid... show me that they are worthy enough to be granted... Please Lord... grant me and answer these prayers soon... I'm being as patient as I can... but I almost want to give up on everything because whenever I pray for these things... things get worse... almost like God cannot seem to hear me or do anything about it... I'm scared... I'm depressed... I just want my desired future that I've been wanting and praying on now or soon... or may the Lord take me now before I give up all together... Please pray for me. I am in need for these things more than I could want these things... Please... I am not well at this moment... |

Just him and no one else... Please give me patience so You can lead him to You... and then to me, for I am still and will forever wait until that comes. I couldn't want anything more than that in my life... truthfully and honestly. Amen. Dear Lord, I ask that You would open the heart of this young man. Please show him his need of salvation and I pray that this would come first. Please comfort Mel. Lord, I know how hard this is for Mel and how difficult it is to wait. I just pray that You would help her in every way that You can. Please help her to see You working in her life as well as Your love for her. I thank You for all that You're going to do. In Christ's name. Amen. Mel, I hope that you are doing better. Please let me know. Sincerely, Lost Love |
