I need your prayers

[Katzie]

Wendy,

I truly understand what you are going through. I am also going through some very difficult times with my family. I too grow weary and I have been a Christian for over 30 years now. We are still just human as Christians. Don't beat yourself up because you are not jumping up and down with joy and feeling elated. We still hurt, we still bleed, we still feel things that are difficult as Christians. What counts is how we react.

Right now you have to act strong even though you may not feel it, just believe that God is giving you the strength you need to handle what you are going through. You have to be joyful just for your Salvation right now. Praise God that you have found the Lord and have accepted Jesus as your Savior. The trials and tribulations we go through in life will continue... however the difference is for us is we know that the Lord is here listening and providing us with what we need and that this life is but a blink of an eye compared to eternity with our Lord.

I admit I am feeling sad today myself, I miss my daughter, I don't know what is going on, what was her sentence, where will she be, what is her situation with her Mersa Staph infection. My mother also is having health problems and I feel sad that I am not there with her. I am also having health issues that are forcing me to stay on bedrest and some of the symptoms can be frightening. I want those feelings to go away also. So, what I do is I come here and read everything I can and I pray all day and I read the Bible off and on throughout the day. I also allow myself to do something fun like watch a funny movie. I just keep pushing out the negative feelings and refocusing back on the Lord. I am understanding that I will be stronger for this, I will develop more patience and God will Bless me for trusting Him. You don't know how much I want to just get in the car and go to the Jail and find my daughter or even bail her out, but that is not what God wants. He has made it clear that I have to let Him deal with her and do what she needs to save her life.

I know you are hurting and I am praying for you. Be strong sister, know that the Lord loves you very much and he can comfort you. Sometimes we have to go through some of the most difficult things in the world to receive the greatest blessings if we remain faithful to our Lord. You are very strong for a young Christian with so much going on now. Stay strong sister and know not only the Lord loves you but there is much love here from us, your brothers and sisters in the Lord.

God Bless you!!!!!
Katzie

Thank You for your prayers and standing with me in them. I am thankful for being a child of God. When I feel like giving up, I think to myself that I cant go back to the way I was before- I will never get anywhere if I do. I have worried a lot lately that I cant hear God. Maybe He isnt saying anything to me right now. I dont know. I know though that all I can do is pray that He will talk to me and tell me whats going on. I am afraid to think that everything is going to be ok because I dont know if its my own mind messing with me or if it is from God. The bible says He will let me know without a doubt if it is from Him. And so I am not 100% sure. I am afraid to act on what I feel or think or even ask questions because I dont want anymore set backs. My husband went from telling me we would probably go ahead with a divorce, to 2 days later calling me and wanting to talk to me about his dad. His dad died June2 and this past Sunday was to be my husbands first day back to work. Well, if he feels he wants to go ahead and divorce, why did he want me to talk to and not his buddies? I asked him that and he said he didnt think of them and didnt want them- he wanted me. Now he has called each day since then to check on me as I have had a few medical problems. So now I question is this really God working or is it my mind messing with me that MAYBE it is God and He is doing what I asked- restore my marriage? I dont know what to think or believe. So this is where I am at. I am having a hard time thinking God would allow Tony to hurt me with saying he wants a divorce to allowing Tony to keep calling me. Would God test me this way? I dont think He would because He knows how hard this is for me and how fragile I am anyway being new to this.The bible says HE will not allow anyone to hurt one of His children. So again I question what this is. This is where I am at now. I just need prayer. I have prayed so much for Gods word in me. I even cry at the frustration I feel from not hearing God. Anyway, Katzie, I pray your daughter will be ok. I know it is a big worry for you. I pray for your health and your moms health as well. We are all facing such difficult times arent we? I dont know if you remember me replying to one of your posts about you having to cal the police on your daughter or not, but in it I told you that my brother was in prison for 5 years and the only good that came from it is that he read the bible, went to bible studies, and was off the drugs. Thank God!! He has since passed away but I know in my heart he is in heaven with Jesus and has no worries. Your daughter will have nothing but time- time to get her head straight and think about everything. She will also have a bible and I am sure she will read it. Praise be to God if she will just take head of it. I pray you will soon find out where she is and know she is ok. I know that it has to be hard for you. But you are right- you CAN NOT bail her out anymore.. She needs God now more than ever and you know if you interfere, she wont get any better. And I know you werent saying you would interfer, but I know when you love someone, you sometimes lose sight of the goal and do what you can to make the loved one feel better. You're a mother- and we mothers always want to hold our children and make it all better. As my husband is in Gods hands, so is your daughter. Lord I pray for Katizes daughter to find You, and I pray you heal her of the MRSA. Lord I pray that Katzie and her mother are healed for it is written" By His stripes we are healed". Lord I pray that Katzie will have the strength she needs to attend to herself, her mother and her son. In Jesus name. Amen.
Love, Wendy

OH Wendy my dear sweet sister. I am hurting for you. When you do not hear God do the last thing you remember HIM telling you to do.
As far as the scripture when we are weak we are strong

It is when we are weak that we oh so see the need of Christ!!!
If one is not sick they do not go to the doctors
so if we were strong all the time we would start to believe we do not need Christ.

YOu are not alone though you may feel that way.

When you feel you are walking alone it is at that time Christ Himself has picked you up and is carrying you.

Let Him carry you.

Hi everyone. Just thought I would update you all and let you know how much prayer is seeming to help. My husband has chosen not to go to church tomorrow as he originally said he might. Father's Day is tomorrow and he said he and his mom were going to his dads grave to put flowers down so he wouldnt be going. But thats ok- Im not giving up yet. Anyway, since I got back on Wednesday from the beach, he has called me everyday sometimes twice a day. I am not sure why- he says just to check on me and to talk. We never really talk about anything in paricular but it is a long way from not talking at all! So please please keep the prayers up! I just know that eventually he will want to go to church and he will eventually return home. I dont know what God has planned- but it seems it is coming in baby steps and I will try not to complain because I know it could be nothing at all. I feel that surely the enemy cant orchestrate this so it has to be of God. Someone made a post on here that Tony and I are one- so satan cant win! And satan cant win- not as long as I hold fast to God. God is dealing with me as well. I have wrestled Him all day long today and of course, He has won.
Lord I come before you to give you many many thanks in this situation. I know You are looking for the glory in this and I know You are looking for it to all be to our good. I can not believe that You would let the enemy trick me in this way. You love me and You know I have been being stubborn and full of questions lately- but I am not anything You cant handle. And I thank You for that. Lord keep me close in Your hands as on my own, I do not do well. Even when I feel like just stopping everything, I always come to You because I do not want to go on my own anymore. I need You and I thank You for loving me. Please continue to do everything in Your power to bring my husband back into this marriage whole heartedly and please continue to do everything in Your power to keep me close and full of strength, patience, and endurance to see this through to the end. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Wendy I feel for you being in the somewhat similar situation that I am. Would like to pray for you...

Lord Jesus I come to you and praise you for who you are and the many blessings you bestow upon our lives. I know tha these blessings do not always come in the way of good and happiness and we must go through trials and other things sometimes in order to be properly prepared for the true blessings you have for us, if only we submit to your will and let you do what it is you want and not what we want. I praise you for Wendy as she attempts to begin a new walk in Christian faith with you Lord. I life her up to you Lord, give her strength, comfort, wisdom and patience to hear you Lord, and to follow your word no matter what..and to be still and patient and wait for your reply. Please give her a peace in this time of trouble and help her to realize she is not alone. Thank you again for all your wonderful blessings, that we do not deserve but by your very Grace. I ask in your most precious holy name, Amen!

Thank you all for the prayers! God is moving in my life and I just choose to believe the promises He made and not the enemy. When He work is done this storm of all storms in my life, I will shout it from the roof tops! God is great and I give praise to Him for the breaths I take each day. Though I dont know whats going on, and I cant see whats to come, God promised to see His children through and give back whatever the enemy stole and then some! And I cant wait!!! Thank You Lord for being the great I AM!!!!! I love you!!!!!
