prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

I totally get what you mean. And I see and feel it all the time in my life as well. I rarely touch on the subject, but my family isn't perfect, like all familes. A LOT of bad stuff has happened that will never be fixed. And its weird to me because my mom has been through it all. From miscarrages, to stock issues, to loan issues, To countless arguments, and to marrige issues. I won't go into detail, but she really lost her hope after her second miscarrige. She had many nightmares because of them too. Thats when I started to pray this prayer "I cast out any spirit of fear, or evil, or darkness, that they will leave in Jesus name, amen"

I still pray for her everyday and it makes me SO happy when I see her reading the Bible at night. She continues to pray through the ups and downs and I feel like thats a big reason why I believe so much. Not only that, but my parents have had quite the not eventful past. Lots of things went wrong there, but it wasn't His fault. After hearing their story, I really believe anything is possible. But it also took a lot of work. And I know that its hard to understand without knowing the whole story, but basically, my parents weren't living together for a long time after being married, even through my mom's first pregnancies. And yes, violence was involved. Not going into detail though. Was everything perfect? No. Do I feel hateful at times? Very. However, today they are both born again Christians. Is everything perfect? No. But would I change anything about it? No. God has a plan for everyone. Including you. I am not sure what kind of person I would be without those arguments and fights. Not sure what kind of person I would be with perfect parents. But I sure know what kind of person I would be with a perfect Father.

And its not about being strong. I see others around me who are so much stronger than I am and I feel inspired, not guilty. I know its hard and I understand. But prayer really works. He doesn't always answer the way we like. It can seem like He is not there. As much as I hate the fact that members have died due to cancer and other such, I still know that He is good. And I know it because of all the little things He has done that has brought me joy. Jesus understands that I care for my chickens. He knows I love to draw. And he has blessed me greatly there. I will be praying for you. You can do this!
Cherry, that may be the most beautiful testimony I ever read. Thanks for sharing. :hugs
 
We cannot edit the first post of this thread without consent from @Jesusfreak101, but I could look into inserting a new post #2 by me with whatever you all want in it.
That would be great.

We're looking to make a spreadsheet to keep track of our Prayer requests and such. When @cherrynberry finishes, we will tag you so you can make the post :).

Thanks Kathy!

To do it, I need to find a post that I made on 9/28/2016 between 1:28 & 4:15. :fl
 
@TheDawg you asked two excellent questions: why does He wait, and what if you can't knock on His door atm (at the moment?

God's timing is not our timing, but His timing is always perfect. He is never late or early. He will move at exactly the right time although we may wish things to be different. He gave the prophecy detailing the time of Jesus' coming about 500 years before it actually happened. He is not moved by our demands, but by what is best for us. Perhaps we need to learn patience. Or trust in Him. He knows, far better than we do.

And we can ALWAYS "knock", all it takes is to turn the heart toward Him. Peter cried out, "Lord save me!" and Jesus answered instantly.
 
I get it! When I moved from a large house to an apartment I was devasted. Moving schools was the hardest though. I have been bullied a lot growing up. I had to share rooms until I was in my last year of middle school. And the apartment was super small. The kitchen is the size of the room I have now! I get it, you will miss it. Sorry you have to go through that. I guess I just have grown accustomed to moving. Its nothing new anymore.
Thanks! Yeah that makes sense but I haven’t so yeah
You can always knock on God's door. He is constantly waiting for you. But remember that if you have other doors open in your life right now, they will not allow the heavenly things in. Remember that God wants to be with you.
this is confusing 🤣
 
God's timing is perfect. He knows what's best for us. Sometimes He tests us, but that is because He wants us to get closer to Him. He wants us to run to Him during our times of troubles.

I'll be praying for you, for your faith to grow!
Yeah I guess that makes sense! And thanks!
