I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE!

I feel like everything is so hopeless, I feel like such a failure. I had big plans, tryed to raise my children right, but everything feels like it is slipping away from me, and of course I take ownership of this. Please pray for me, I mean't well but somehow, somewhere, I feel like I have failed. I'm sorry Dear Jesus, please forgive me and tomorrow when I wake, if it be your will, I'll try to do better. Just please help me, how can I live without my son? My heart hurts and he is in prsion for a very long time. Everyone in my family has had their breakdowns, but not me, I'm supposed to be superwoman, I guess, Well I am hurting very, very much, please help me, Jesus, please help Me.

RE: I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE!

Dear Lord I pray that you let this woman know just how much you love her and her children, You sent Your Son to die on a cross for her and for her children. Let her know that she is more then what she feels like now, and give her understanding on this issue. Whatever problems are keeping her from You, God I pray that You remove them and give her the strength to come to You for help when she is feeling alone or tempted. Fill her with compassion Lord and direct her to scripture for answers, bring believers into her life and let her fellowship in Your goodness. I pray for her son's salvation if he has not come to know Your Son as his Lord and Personal Savior. Lord You know that I was saved when I was in jail, and that many come to the Lord while being away from the things of this world that would otherwise keep them from You. I pray that You use this time to lead her son to Bible studies, even if it is out of boredom, Lord plant seeds in his heart and harvest them according to Your will and time. Lord continue to do great things through this women and let her be able to use this time in her life as a time to grow closer to you and further from the enemy that wants her to self loathe. Lord I pray for these things in Jesus's name, Amen. ***Here are some verses from Romans 8 that are wonderful and might help you** :-)
"And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believersl in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work togetherm for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstbornn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,p neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." GOD BLESS YOU SISTER!

RE: I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE!

Lord God in heaven, I pray that You would send Your grace to this family, and caress old wounds and soothe and tenderize hard, scarred hearts. I pray that hope and love would overcome doubt and despair. Comfort all sorrow and relieve all pain. If possible, restore the joy and confidence from better times, and give a sense of optimism and security to those who trust in You. Anything is possible to those who believe. Cleanse and blot out all sin with the precious blood of the Cross, and lead stubborn and defiant hearts back to Your grace and warm, abiding presence. You never grow tired of forgiving, and Lord knows that we are rebellious children. Send Your rebuke and chastisement, but return and heal us, raise and carry us with Your everlasting affection. In Jesus' holy and righteous name, Amen

Give glory to the Lord Most High, Creator of Heaven and Earth

RE: I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE!

Precious Jesus, I lift this dear lady up to You. Lord, give her strength to continue being strong for her family. Lord, I pray that You will draw her closer to You. Fill her with Your Spirit. Let her always sing Your praises. Lord, bless her and keep her. Precious Jesus, we all have sinned and come short of Your glory. Lord, help her to forgive her self. Most mothers feel, at times, we have failed You & our children. Lord, put angels about her. Surround her with Your love,grace, & mercy. In all of this I ask in Your name,Jesus.Amen. Psalm 121:1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made the heaven and earth. (KJV Holy Bible)

RE: I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE!

Father, as women we bear so much and often feel that all that goes wrong in our children, our husbands, our workplace is our fault, our failing and we hurt deeply because of it. The well of love within us is so great that each blow that our families receive we feel responsible for. If only we had not burned the bread and disappointed our husbands. If only we had not yelled at our child when they broke this or that...the truth is that most of us do the best we can and give the best we can and succeed at times and miss the mark at times. We hide what we feel when we are disappointed so often and others do not know the deep longing that we have in our hearts to be better. We keep going because we must or because we ought to without the luxury of breakdowns or the comfort of openly weeping at the thoughts of our fears or our pain. because someone must carry the weight of the burdens of our families. And then we reach a point where we feel so broken from it all...that we feel like total failures under the stress of circumstances.

The truth is that our children when they reach adulthood make their own choices...we have taught them and loved them...and then they choose. Our husbands, like us carry their own burdens and they choose their own course...right wrong or indifferent. Father help this good woman to see that she is your child and she has stood in the face of great adversity which in itself is a victory. She has been the rock for her family during these difficult times. She has errored no more or less than any other mother and while some of the choices made by those she loves would have been different...if she had made them for them, they were made and are now in the past. Touch her Father and relieve the burden of useless and undeserved guilt that she is carrying. Let her bless your name because you have given her the strength to stand despite what she is going through. Let her feel comfortable in pouring out her heart before you... her fears, her pain, her concerns and tears knowing that you care and that you hear her. Let her understand that we can only love and do our best...and that the choices of our children and families are their own and burdens that they must carry in their lives...just as we carry our own.

Father relieve her heart from those burdens that are not hers to own. Let her remember that you in your wisdom sent your son to take upon him every error, every sin because you knew that in our imperfection we would make them...and let her feel relief knowing that she is forgiven for whatever errors were made...but if done in true repentance so is this son that she loves and every other human being that is in Christ. Rather than carrying useless guilt from the past that has no purpose and is not hers to suffer...let her use her faith to stand in the gap for those that she loves in continued prayer and supplication...and in Agape love, for it is at this place that she can deeply experience YOUR strength to be the light that those she loves may see. Father strengthen this woman that she may continue to walk in your grace...for it is there if she believes. She does not need to be superwoman...just a woman who in her deep and abiding love for you and her family does her best to trust in your power and mercy and your plan for her continued journey through this life...for we walk by faith not by sight. In Jesus name...amen!
