Hello everyone,

I haven't been able to be on the prayer line as much as I would like to. I am just asking that you all keep me held up in your prayers today. I have a lot going on right now. God knows all about these troubles. I am praying for victory over them all. I am praying for strength from my Heavenly Father to help me endure through this process.
I know that He is with me. His word said that He would never leave me nor forsake me. I believe this with everything that I have inside. God has carried me through many storms a lot worse than these. So, I am just asking that you will touch and agree with me for strength and encouragement.
My husband (Phillip) is also going through some physical ailments right now. Please keep him in your prayers as well.
My heart has been really heavy about all of the things that are going on. I am praying to always count it all as joy. I know that this will soon pass. It just hurts so bad when we are going through it.
I know that God will give me the victory, this is what faith is all about. Knowing that we will get the victory in the end. Believing that we serve an awesome God. Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen."
I cannot see the victory right now with the human eye, but I can see it with my faith.
Oh my, the more I type the more I feel it coming. I just want to shout Hallelujah right now.
Oops, I'm still at work. So, I will keep it down to a minimum
Be blessed everyone that reads this thread and praise God with me today.

:heart:Hi Sister, We missed you!

Boy did I ever need to hear what you wrote today too, as I am going through many things right now, and I thank you so much for your words, as God knows that is exactly what my own heart needed this morning too.

Dear Jesus,

I uplift our sister, in prayer and thought today, knowing with you ALL things are possible.

Yes, we should count it all for joy when we have various trials and tribulations Lord, for you are using them for your Glory. Lord, we know we can lift our voices up to you in song and praise, knowing Lord, nothing on this earth will ever seperate us from your Love.

Trials come and go, but Lord you are the light of our hearts and the joy of our salvation, everything we are, we owe to you our precious Lord.

Help us look on things above and not on earth, as our life is just a vapor, and continue to have a grateful heart during out trials, for as your words says we should give thanks to you Lord in all thing, just not our joys , but also our tears and trials.

You are the Master and the Weaver, you know what is best for all of us. When you are creating our own masterpiece, you use the dark images also to create the finished picture, so help us to not be discouraged when dark times come, for there is a purpose for everything . As you are creating the tapersty of our life and all we can see is the tangled strings on the back, Lord, help us to instead focus on the front of the beautiful image you are making on the front, out of our lifes. For just as your son, Jesus Christ, had many sorrows, temptations and trials Lord, he was always willing to do your will and not his own, even going to the Cross and sacrificing himself, for us, sinners, so we too can be together with you for all eternity.

Lord, none of us are able to do anything without your strength, and we all fall short of the glory in Christ, but help us all walk together , looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

We thank Lord Jesus for all you have done for all of us, may you always receive all the Honor, Glory and Praise.

In your precious , Holy name, I do pray Lord Jesus.

Amen.

I am praising God for you right now. I know that he is a miracle worker. I thank him for you responding so quickly to this thread. I have been having this down feeling for the last couple of days. But, I know that this too will pass. I am just listening for his voice to give me what to do. When this usually happens to me, I know that there is a reason. He leads and guides me by His precious spirit. Oh how I long to pass through this moment of darkness. I pray that His Holy Spirit will comfort my soul right now. I pray that He will open my eyes and my ears to do His will today. I do not want to miss the mark, I want to be on target. I don't want to focus on my own pain. But, I want to focus on His will each day.
Have a blessed and joy filled day. I can still shout hallelujah!
I am getting ready to go for lunch now. I will yell when I get in my van.

Oh thank you dear sister, I need your words today so much.

I am having a major battleground right in my home and am standing on the promises of Jesus and leaning on him, going and doing what he tells me too.

Please pray, as I have so major decisions to make concering my family and my husband is on a rampage right now, I actually have some fear from him and I am being verbally abused, even if he cannot see it right now. He has attacked my faith, my motherhood , my wifehood, and everything that is near to my heart. He thinks I am a religious nut and I need to stick my bible and the things I say up his **s, much more has been said that has been worse, and I just do not understand what is going on. He has made me make some very heartbreaking choices, like choice between him and my kids, and now it is like he istelling me it is either my relationship with God his way or no way, and I am not attracted to his beliefs, as they are not what I feel in my spirit or read in my Bible. He is also having major health issues, and I do not know if his medicine is turning him into a Mr. Jekyl or Hyde personality as nothing I do is good enough, all he sees is my error. Like I told my daughter today, I could do jumping jacks right in front of him and he would not even see me for who I am, he would see someone he tells who I am, but Jesus and my heart know who I am. So I am fighting to keep my own spirit from not being broken and I have also started fighting for my children today, as he constanlty tells me how it has be, where I tell him , I am a mother , and a mother is for life. No more choicing between people I love, especially God and my children, no matter how much I love this man, I do not even know him anymore. He is suffocating me with trying to control everything that I do or say and does the same to my children, so help me Jesus, and please say prayers for me, as he is going to make it hard for me. 4 times he has kicked me out of our bedroom this week and he tells me all the time to get out, that it is his house, even though I handed over every cent of my own to help him and help our family. He just has too many secrets and I no longer trust him, for his standard of saying it is wrong to lie, does not apply when he lies, then it is no big deal.

Please pray God will lead my heart for my children and I, and I do his will and not my own, and for my protection also . I am no longer going to hide from an abusive man in any form, but bring it all out to the light to be healed and overcomed. I learned my lessons well, God and I thank you for that, just please Lord help me to listen better and do your will and not my own.

Thank You all and know my prayers are with you and sister writing momma, you might hear my screams coming over your side of the world, when we are going through trials, the best thing to do is sing, sing, sing, make a joyful noise unto the Lord, and tell satan you are not going to ruin my day, for I go in the strength, the power and the might of our Lord Jesus Christ and I know I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength.

Amen and Halliughah too!

Too God be all the glory and praise, forevermore!

One last very important thing,

Please, please pray for my husband, as I do love him, but I can't help him , only God can.

Pray for healing for him in his heart, mind and soul and for willingness to turn his heart to Jesus, instead of thinking that he has to control everyone around him, for it is only God that is in control, none of us.

He is a real good man in so many ways and this breaks my heart, but I cannot do it, only God can , so I surrender my husband to you Jesus, and do your perfect will in His life and not mine.

Soften his hard, hurting heart and let him run to you calling you Abba, Father.

In your precious name, I pray Lord Jesus.

Amen.

Father, you have heard the cries of my sister today. You know everything that she is going through right now. Satan has come to buffet this marriage and family. I bind him and his minion back into the pits of hell from where they came. I bind enemy forces from this house. I loose love and compassion in this marriage. I loose healing in the mind of this husband. Allow the televisions to be turned off and the study of your word to begin in this household. Allow sweet music of joy, peace and love to abound in this family.
Father I know that we can truly trust you to heal this family. Strengthen my sister to give it all to you. Allow her to go through each day, trusting and depending on you. Allow her to be comforted by Your Holy Spirit. Bring a sweet peace into her heart. Allow her husband to see the peace in her that passes all understanding. You are our peace Lord. I thank you for what you are about to do in this marriage.
My sister, allow God to be the joy that you focus on from this day forward. If you are asked to do anything that is not in the "will" of God, you must not! You must stay true to God. Ask God to show you in His word what you are to do each day. I pray that he will reveal Himself to your husband in a mighty way.
I know that God is still working miracles on marriages. My husband was an alcoholic for 30 years. He is clean and sober now. He has been clean for the 8 years that we have been together. He says that it was my love for Christ that gave him the strength to turn his life over to Christ and give up his drinking. He did not use any AA classes, just prayer. Yes, we still have our ups and down (no drinking though), but I know that God will give us the strength to go through each storm.
And yes, we sleep in separate bedrooms, (that's my fault, I can't stand the snoring), but when we come together for prayer, and other things, I know that he is a changed man. We just have to wait on God. It won't be done when we want it, but God is always right on time. Just allow God to continue working on you and your change. He will do the work on your husband.
I don't know if you have read, "Lord Change Me!", by Evelyn Christenson, but it made a big difference in my life and marriage. If you go to abebooks.com, you can find it for $1.00. along with many other great books.
Be encouraged my Sis.
God has this situation all under His control. Men just think they have control. HHAHAHAHA!
