I know sometimes things seem unbearable, especially when you don't have anyone on your side, or it doesn't seem like it anyway. I live in Chicago alone, outside of my two little cousins who depend on me heavily and my son. I feel overwhelmed sometimes, and have much of the same feelings. Why don't I have anyone on my side, why don't I have anyone who loves me. Baby let me tell you, I love you and God loves you. I know sometimes it seems that He isn't there when we need Him, but at those times He is testing our faith. He is an on time God, not a when you want him God. Pray to God for help. Or believe in yourself to get through these things. Sometimes when we are stressed it's hard to turn to God when we should. So if you can't turn to Him, turn to yourself. Have faith in your self that you can get over these feelings and this situation. Love yourself, when you think no one else does. Love begins with self. If you don't love yourself it will seem as if no one else loves you.


Dear God,
The devil is a liar and busy, Lord God I ask you to place your understanding hands on this person in their time of need. Lord place Your loving hands on the shoulder of this person and show them that they love themselves and that you love them more. And if you didn't would you have gave your only Son to save us. Lord God I ask you to remove the evil thought, the evil energy. Lord God I ask You to take Your time, and mold this person to understand that You are God and You are all powerful and that You are an on time God. Lord I pray to you to send godly people into their life. It is in your Son’s Jesus name that I pray

Amen!!

Dear Sister in Christ,

You are so precious to the Lord. No matter what you are going through or how you are hurt, he will never forsake you.

Your pastor, boyfriend, and even your own family has wronged you and I know it hurts, but you must forgive them as the Lord forgave you. I know how hard that can be, but the Lord promises: "I have sustained the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul." [Jeremiah 31:25] He will mend you broken heart, and will give you the strength to forgive.

Dear friend, please do not give up. You are in my prayers and you're in God's heart. He loves you so much and that love will never change. :)

His Grace is Sufficient,
Christina

I am praying for you! God loves you! 

Dear P.,

I do not know how to encourage you now and I know it is not easy for you. But I know that our God is a God of great reversals. He knows everything that we have gone through and He is able to turn things for the better.

[2 Corinthians 5:17]
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

God is able to change things. Maybe you should treat this as a new beginning. Put behind you the people who have rejected you. They do not determine your self worth. God does! Your worth is based on what the highest bidder has paid for you and Jesus has paid for you with His life. That is how worthy you are to Him.

Jesus taught the disciples to go out and preach the gospel but if they were to be rejected, to shake the dust off their feet and move on. That is what you need to do. Move on. You cannot go to greener pastures if you dwell in this old place that you are in.

One day, you will meet God face to face but not because you decided to end your life. As long as we are here, God has something for us to fulfill. Find a new church, find a new circle of friends, join our prayer group and pray for others. Do something else now that you can start with. And learn to encourage yourself in the Lord. Discouragement is a choice. Look at your life now with hope and ask God to bless you. If you put your trust in Him, you will never be ashamed.

[Jeremiah 29:11-14a]
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.

Father in heaven,

I lift up my sister here and I ask that You encourage her, You cover her with Your love and surround her with Your embrace. Let her know how precious and worthy she is in Your sight and show her Your plans for her future. Lord, I know that her future in You is brighter than what she sees now and I pray that You will bring to pass all the promises You have for her in her life and she will live to glorify Your name.

Lord, I pray that You surround her with the right people who will encourage her in the things of God and I pray that You bless her with her hearts' desire for a good teaching job.

I pray all these in Jesus' Name and I place this sister into Your loving hands. Amen.
