        Prayer request for John
 
About three years ago I lost my job due to a back injury. I have not been able to work since. My wife recently divorced me, she had been seeing another man. The other man turned out to be the pastor of our church. He has since left. He was a good friend of mine....I thought. I have tree teenagers to raise and am living on public assistance. Life has become such a burden to me. I feel as if everything dear to me has been striped away. I need prayer for healing of my heart and emotions, for the ability to forgive my wife and the pastor and for my financial situation to improve. I have filed for social security benifits but it will be at least 9 months before I see anything from them. Please pray for me. Also please pray for my ex wife to come to her senses and repent. Any words of encouragment will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find... please don't give up hope...have faith that God will provide and act upon what His spirit tells you to do...remember the story of the woman on the roof during a flood and she refuses help by folks that come by to rescue her...when she asks God why He let her drown, He said I sent you help and you refused it.. be open to help and try to take small steps of action toward some positive goals...God is with you, be strong in your faith, and be strong for your children...show them grace, character and above all, love...move forward to the life God wants you to have...trust Him to provide and show you his plan for you...in Christ's love, Julie

(with today's technology, try to find something you can do for work despite your back...if your Will will let you, you can do anything...I personally believe that God will heal you IF you ask and BELIEVE...another source of enlightenment may be "Heal you Body" by Louise L. Hay

one last thought, having been through similiar times myself...try this...focus not on your ex wife and the pastor...God will work in their lives..but rather focus your thoughts, atttention, energy on your relationship with God, find peace there and the other parts of your life will be uplifted by your increased peace, strength and knowledge that a strong bond with God brings to you. He loves you...always. You are very loved...keep that in your heart, mind and spirit as you awake and retire everyday...and remember to be thankful for anything and everything! :)
May God Bless You John!

Hello John,

One thing I have learned ... what does not kill us only make us stronger. Be bold, be strong and be courageous because God is with you wherever you go. Do not be dismayed. [Joshua 1:9]

Meditate on that verse and know that God is your deliverer. He will bring you into your promised land. Your wife has left you. You just need to move on.

Every day God creates something new for us but we need to learn to leave our past behind us. Look to the future. Believe for complete recovery for your back. He is our God our Healer. That is His Name. Meditate on healing scriptures and claim your healing every day. Speak healing to your body. Speak healing to your life.

Do not meditate on the negative things any more because they only bring death. Believe in God's Word that He will restore sevenfold what you have lost[Prov 6:31].

You know John, sometimes you can only see a heart of a man or a woman in times of difficulty and trials. God sometimes allows situations to open our eyes and then we just need to learn to move on.

Father in Heaven,

I claim healing and restoration on John's life. I pray that You will heal him completely, not only in his body but in his emotions and his soul. Let his spirit arise in him to receive your promises. Give him the fighting spirit to continue to fight the good fight of faith and run the race that You have set before him. Protect his children and bless them financially. Even as they learn to give the little that they have, Father, I pray that You pour out a blessing that they will not have room enough to receive it.

Father, thank You that we can bring You in remembrance of Your Word that You will restore the years the locusts have eaten and show us great and mighty things to come.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Matthew 6:33] But, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Put God first in everthing you do. Seek him with your whole heart. He will never leave you or forsake, but he will be with you until the end. God Bless You!
