Hey so I’m a single dad of a little girl and have been going on three years. I’ve been blessed to do well in raising my kiddo however started to feel the pressure with just a number of things, this past summer as it seemed a bit overwhelming at times, I decided to move back to my home state to be around family. To get that support with my little girl at least for a little while because for the longest it’d been just her and I. She goes to school and has friends there and involved in other things but outside of that and church she nor myself really had any type of support system. She seems a lot happier and playful of course but she’s honestly always been that way....I on the other hand seem to be struggling with adjusting back and feel almost like I might’ve made a mistake coming back home. It’s been difficult finding a job, and just readjusting myself. however I do have a plan that I intend on executing I’ve just been feeling like this move might’ve been a mistake although we’re with family now, like maybe I jumped the gun or maybe being away was for the better. (Ftr: I initially only moved away to be closer to my kiddo but I made the best out of the move and did well) I guess I’m just asking for prayers in this time as I seek peace and just try to relax a bit. Thanks guys.
Don't second guess yourself. You must as a born again Bible believing Christian that Jesus will strengthen, guide, empower you in your life. I wrote this to post elsewhere but will post it here for you. I pray the Holy Spirit speak to you and lift your heart. In troubled times it will be God that carries you. Saved from death by him this year I know he has a happy way for you my friend. Amen
GOD'S WORD TO YOU MR. CAMELOT.
"POUR OUT YOUR HEART BEFORE HIM"
If you will do according to psalm 62:8 on a regular basis your spiritual life will experience a wonderful change. A revolution.
SO many of the basic things we are told to practice in the Bible are ignored and we suffer because of it. Because of our disobedience, willful or out of ignorance, the results are the same.
Then we suffer the consequences.
Isaiah 26:16 KJVS
Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
If we will keep our house swept then we can avoid much grief, unrest. Seeking peace and pursuing it as we are instructed to do is the best exercise of all.
NOTHING IS WORTH LOSING THE PEACE OF GOD OVER. The Bible tells us HOLD your peace.
Tell him EVERYTHING in your prayers. INCLUDING THOSE THINGS YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO REMEMBER. Tell him about hates, prejudices, about people youre supposed to love but don't even like. Don't hold back. Yes he already knows. Get on your knees and stay there until the Holy Spirit has nothing else to show you. It will be quiet and still in your SPIRIT afterwards.
Tell him about dishonest deeds. About unholy things you've considered doing. Tell him of the times you are unthankful and selfish. Have you lied and not confessed it? Ask those you've sinned against for forgiveness. For the younger, lust of the flesh is a major stumbling block.
You cannot have the peace of God if lust is working in you.
Yes tell him of every wound you've received, tell him of your hopes and dreams. Bear your soul to him as you never have before. You will be surprised as to what comes out in confession once you start pouring out your heart. Forgive as you pray, it's God's way, his heart.
Sweep your heart and soul of everything that is against his Holy ways.
As if with a flashlight search every nook and cranny until not one thing remains that you haven't told him about. It will be rare if tears are not part of this pouring out so bring tissues.
THIS IS THE MEANING OF POURING OUT YOUR HEART TO HIM. Do this as often as necessary.
After you do this radical house cleaning, and it will take more than ten minutes, you will feel sort of numb and peculiar. But you will have peace beyond description.
After you've done this you will EXPERIENCE the PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING.
It's the peace that comes only from God. He bought it with his sacrifice and is the only one that can distribute it. His perfect will is for you to be clean before him so that he can pour out his blessings upon you!
