This quarantine time has been a blessing. I’ve had more time with family, and my chickens. I’ve done some much needed reorganization. Not that I’ve gotten everything reorganized. Often it gets messier as I go than it was before I started but it’s been satisfying to accomplish some long ignored tasks. I’ve spent some time binging on shows I’ve missed. And I’ve spent much more time getting closer to Jesus. I’ve discovered TBN and have enjoyed it feeling like Sunday every day as I listen to sermons. I’m seeing a huge increase in people turning to the television media as a way to connect with The Church. Praise God for using that which was meant for destruction and turning it around into good. He is faithful. Thank you Lord.

A beautiful picture of Genesis 50:20.

Has anyone else watched the series The Chosen? I would highly recommend. It's a show about the life of Jesus.

It was actually my Drake and the only drake we had planned on keeping because we and the ducks loved him so much. I can't get what I imagine his last moments were like, out of my head. It woke me up all night long. Thankfully my other drakes and ducks seem to be doing ok but they followed me around for over an hour trying to find his body before I was able to get away from them to search farther out. It's obviously shaken them, but they're eating and drinking. They have always free ranged on my pond but today I didn't let them on the pond. Instead, I brought them up to the fenced in yard right outside my door, where my little Maltese go outside and took my dogs out on a leash throughout the day. I did bring a swimming pool up and filled it, but I know it's not the same. We sat outside waiting for the killers return all morning, but as I figured the dogs owners probably know what happened and didn't let their dog roam today. That's another thing, I need to stop being so angry about this, so prayers for that would be appreciated too. This dog has attacked one of my cockerels before months ago and the owner heard me screaming and turned into a responsible owner for about 3 days and then back to letting his dog roam wherever he wants again. Thankfully I got outside before anyone was harmed that time. This time I wasn't so lucky and I am broken hearted and so incredibly angry at the owner and at the dog (which is silly I know, because this all falls on the owner 100%). I just need God's hand on this situation and on me.

It's so painful when things like this happen! That's because we know in our hearts that death is an enemy and was never a part of God's plan for this world. When things like this happen, we can be comforted with the promises of Scripture. God's original plan for us WILL be fulfilled one day! Jesis IS coming again! He went to prepare a place for us, a beautiful place where there will be no more pain, no sickness or death or tears or sorrow, and no predation! The animals will all be at peace. There will be no killing. That's in Isaiah 65:17, 25 and Rev.21:4. Perhaps you could ask Jesus to help you pray for your neighbor to be saved and ready for Him on that day; that might help you to forgive and be at peace over this.

I'm so glad I found this thread! Since we can't go to church, I have missed the fellowship of believers. I will go back and read several pages to get acquainted, obviously I'm not going to start at page 1 and read 679 pages! I'll come back after a bit and share a little of my faith journey with 'all.

Yeah it’s definitely a long thread!!! Haha feel free to jump in.

I have a bit of an odd request... I am hoping somebody could possibly pray for me? I normally wouldn’t even ask this but I came across this: View attachment 2073514
recently and the let them pray for you bit was key to me. I’ve been trying to do things alone for way too long and it’s not really working out so I thought I’d ask.

I should note I’ve been doing pretty well lately, mostly pretty happy or whatever, so it’s not really that, but I still deal with some thoughts and ideas that just won’t go away still and are not very pleasant.

And in addition to that, I’m also just not very productive and have been feeling pretty sluggish, tired, unmotivated, etc. for a while and not getting much done which of course also doesn’t help the thoughts either.

Anyway, I’m not expecting a solution or anything but I’m hoping for maybe some prayers or something. Cause like I said I’ve been trying both by myself and praying and it hasn’t really been working so I thought maybe now might be a good time to involve some other people.

TIA.

Heavenly Father, You are our faithful and loving Father, our Creator and Redeemer. We thank You and give You all praise and glory and honor for Your goodness, mercy and faithfulness to us! You alone are holy! You alone are God! Let all that has breath praise the Lord! I thank You, Lord, for my friend Kelsey. I thank You for Your goodness to her and the gifts You have given her. I praise You for her kindness and gentleness toward the animals You have created and for her tender heart. I know You have a plan for her life, dear Lord, for all Your creatures are created with intentional design and purpose and I know it is your desire for Kelsey to be a blessing to others in her life. Father, I pray that You will reveal that purpose to Kelsey day by day and both guide her in it, and bless her in it. You have promised in Your Word that we will hear a word behind us saying, "This is the way, that you should walk in it," and I claim that promise now for Kelsey. Lead her day by day to know and to do Your will, that she may honor and glorify You by her life. I ask these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and I thank You for them, Amen.

Oh yes! This is why I am so glad I found TBN! Can’t go to church but I can join the praise of those on tv. Oddly enough I used to hate watching “tv evangelists”. TBN has shown me that God uses everything to get his word to the people. There are several preachers on TBN that I really admire and feel Gods love through them.

Where two or more are gathered in My Name...

Father I stand in agreement! Hallelujah! Our God is not a liar. He will do what He has promised. He will finish the good work He has begun in you. Thank you Jesus! Amen.

Father God give KDOGG331 peace in Jesus name amen

talk to God the same way that you talk to family and friends
be honest with what is going on in your life
and believe His word is true
and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior

I do that. I was talking to God in the car once and accidentally called Him "Honey!" I talk to Him in the kitchen, we cook together, He gives me great ideas for cooking sometimes. I just tell Him everything that's on my heart, all the time. I don't know how people who don't have a relationship with Him are getting through these times .... He really is "my refuge and my strength" right now.
