Faith problems

My faith is not what it used to be. I've been fighting and angry and bitter with my boyfriend/father of the baby I am carrying for almost 4 years and I have noticed that it has really effected my faith. I dont trust God as much as I used to nor do I feel close to Him hardly ever. I find it hard to believe my prayers will be answered when praying, which I know can hinder them being answered. I haven't been able to trust God will work out the problems in my relationship or keep him from lying or cheating on me. I have felt very close to God before and the distance is not satisfying to me and I get very down on myself because of it, once again, angry, bitter, amongst alot of unGodly feelings. I dont ever remember being this low in my relationship with Christ before. I pray to have my faith restored, my heart softened, my spirit renewed, and to let go of the UnGodly feelings and thoughts that I have been entertaining. I also pray for the relationship between my boyfriend and I to be strengthened, that we will find our peace, harmony and genuine love and understanding, compassion for each other and our family again. In Jesus' Precious Name I pray, Amen

RE: Faith problems

First of all premarital is not biblical. You don't trust God? You don't trust God because you do not know God's will for you. Your prayers are for self gratification and nothing about glorifying God the Father. You claim you know God but your spirit does not know Him. You are not saved and you have not accepted our Lord Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior in your life. Your boyfriend cannot be your Lord and Savior.



Pray this prayer from your heart:

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. Lord Jesus fill me with your holy spirit and cleanse me of all of my sins. Wash me in your blood and bring healing to all areas of my life. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life. Amen!

RE: Faith problems

Gee thanks...you've obviously never dealt with the real tempatations of this world eh?? Were you brought up in the Church?? Sounds like that type. Unknowing about what the worlds temptations are really about. why dont you visit a soup kitchen, or a homeless shelter, and actually SPEAK to these people and ask them to tell you their story..and try to find it in your heart to ...umm..care...Jesus came for sinners, Honey, of that, I am one of the worst. Peace.

I will, however, heed your advice. I'm pretty sure that's why I CAME HERE in the first place..

RE: Faith problems

I ask for your forgiveness my dear but first from God Almighty if I sounded judgemental and critical in my wording. I assured you it is not in my heart, I am just straight to the point. Yes, we all sin and short of glory and are not perfect and temptation are all around us. I do care, fight and help the homeless. I fight for those who cannot speak or do not have a voice or powerless. Sometimes I do a little shaking and wanting to slap someone upside down their head with LOVE but I am a very loving patient person if you know me. I will give you everything I have and I have done it many times and God multiplied many times over back to me more than I can handle. I apologize for being strong in my wording but I do care about you and I don't know you. You are in my prayer list though and believe me I will pray for you and your baby and the father of your baby. Love in Jesus, my dear. God loves you.
Father God, I lift anonymous prayer request regarding her situation to you in Jesus' name.

Lord Jesus, hear my prayer for this expectant mother who holds in her womb her unborn child. She may be frightened. She may be alone. She may be abandoned. She may be confused. Comfort her now in her time of need. Help her to understand that you will be with her at all times, even when she does not feel your presence. But Lord, help her to feel your presence often, this is a comfort to her and her child. Wipe away all tears of confusion and despair. Give her the understanding and wonderment of knowing the precious life that grows within her. Fill her with your peace and blessing so that she may bring her child into this world safely. She may not know you Lord - help her to know that you know and love her. Help her to know her own uniqueness and her worth as a human being. Love her Lord, as you love us all. Send her your Holy Spirit, and help her to know that she too is a child of God our Father. Protect, comfort, and keep her, in your loving care. I pray this in your holy name Lord Jesus. Lord, bless anonymous in a special way any unwed mother who did make the right decision and is now trying to care for her child under difficult circumstances. Let goodness and kindness follow her all the days of her life. Bless too any other single mother. Her path is not easy and she needs your help constantly. Remind the father of this child she is carrying in her womb of his responsibilities toward anonymous and their unborn child. Show them how precious a blessing child is. Protect all babies, the unborn and the born. Protect them at every stage of development, from conception to infancy. You have said, dear Lord, that even if a woman forgets the infant of her womb, "I will never forget you…Upon the palms of my hands I have written your name." Christ warned, "See that you do not despise one of these little ones," whose "angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father", adding, "It is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost." Keep them, Lord, "as the apple of your eye; hide them in the shadow of your wings." I pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen and Amen.

RE: Faith problems

Thank you, I appreciate this apology and do accept it completely. I also apologize for my harsh response. As stated earlier, my faith is suffering, I know I have sinned and am suffering greatly for it, which I think is a good thing because if I werent suffering, there might be a problem.. Just today, while praying, I realized, just as you said, that I think that one of my problems and discontent is that I do not know that God approves of my relationship, otherwise, I wouldn't be so miserable and distrusting and have so much turmoil. I know my behaviour is not appropriate and I am not happy with who and what I have become when I have been in a much better place, in Christ. Im tired and lost and dont know how to fix my problems, but I know that my relationship with God is suffering immensely. I'm in a bad place, that I wish no one to experience. I try to stop premarital, I've asked to abstain, and he either doesn't understand (he is a believer as well) or he just doesn't want to experience that with me, maybe I've messed up too far to fix it with him.

RE: Faith problems

I am feeling your pain my dear, believe it or not. I can discern with God's gift. God is a forgiving God and no matter how we messed up over and over He always forgive as long we repent of our sin. I know you are young and sometimes our feeling overrules but don't you think God already knows. Sometimes, we just need a reminder. Like I said, if you were next to me, I would probably give you an upside down slap over your head with LOVE because I care. Don't worry, God is not angry with you. We all have different crosses that we must carry. Just remember that victory has already been won through our Lord Jesus Christ. Your child is not an accident, your child is a God given gift to you. The devil intent to ruin God's plan but God already knows what ahead and it's all for your good and for God's Glory. The thing for you to do is read all the promises from God in Bible and bind them in your heart. God bless you and your child my dear. Love in Jesus.

RE: Faith problems

So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

Romans 8:26 amp



It's easy to quit when things get tough, but I am here to tell you that as a child of God, it's time to stop living your life one quit after another. There are areas of our lives we struggle with. Life happens-whether we want it to or not. But God's Word and the Holy Spirit work together, pulsating in your life bringing comfort, encouragement, inspiration. When the Word is alive in us, it empowers us.



Your Heavenly Father understands your weaknesses. I can say that because I know He understands my weaknesses. We all make choices that may not be in our very best interest. But we can come to Him as His child and He promises to work it out. If you'll give it to Him He can make those things work together for your good. That doesn't mean you won't have to experience the consequences, but He promises to turn it for your good.



You've got to trust Him. And I know from experience that He always takes longer than I want Him to take. But we have the Holy Spirit as our comforter to help us when we are weak-when we struggle to see what God is doing from the time we ask for His intervention to the time He works it all out and don't try to do it in your own ability. Give it to God and let Him work it out for your good today.

RE: Faith problems

Alot has happened in the past few days. I was scheduled to move to the town that babys dad lives in and cancelled at the very last moment. I believe that I made the right decision as I dont feel that I had the commitment and security that I needed from him, in order to move our whole lives. I struggled with this decision for a long time, and now have made it. Its very possible that I have forfeited the relationship becauase of this choice and am trying now to pick up the pieces of all of my decisions. I know it is not God's will for me to live in fear, to be called names, to wonder constantly if he is being unfaithful to me. I hope I made the right decision.

RE: Faith problems

Thank you all for your prayer. God is bringing me to repentance, even in the dead of sleep Smile An apartment has come available that is only 2 houses away from where I am currently living and I am to view it in a half of an hour. It came out of nowhere, and is available for when I need it (the complex that I am in now needs too much work for me to be able to do on my own, so need a fresh start). I am hoping that the landlords will prorate the last months rent as I lost alot of money when I cancelled my move last week. I am also hoping and praying that the landlords where I cancelled the move are able to rent out my complex so that they are able to return the rent money that I put down on it so that I am able to finance the move next door. So far things seem to be working out and pray that they will continue to. I give glory to God for what has already turned out and will give him glory for what is to come as well. Please pray with me that things will turn out. In Jesus' name Amen
