My darkest hour with my wife is about to close a chapter in my life, and I have until May31st to get all my property out of our current house, and move into a replacement setting. I do not have ampul means due to many circumstantial things. One being I have lost my 31 yr job working for the local School Dist. due to a categorical disability of 40% disabled, forcing my work to let me go, Unable to meet the job expectation list now. Fell 28 feet two floors and had some ouchies...Yes thats was me avoiding the whole story. Smile. I have a great report with all at my work, but it is out of my control and apparently theirs as well. So anyway, I need to find an apartment immediately.
I have given my house to my wife. And most of my possessions. But this is where the rubber meets the road joining with faith. I have not had stress over it, I have surrendered it to Christ, but unfortunately, my car blew an engine two weeks ago and I am without transportation..I have been walking the city for days. But , praise God I got to rest in-between days...smile.

Without great credit, due to my wife..Yoda..Yada..Yada.[details not needed]..and no current job now, my entry into a lot of places are limited. I do have enough savings to get into a 6month or 1 year advance payment, yet I will need prayer for job placement as well....Way more than I like having to ask help for I like to just take care of life myself the best I can, yet God knows we all have those times...this is mine.

I will also lose all my property particulars if I do not exit those items by that May 31st date based on legal signed agreements with my wife.. So, my back is against the wall, yet I fear not..I also slothful not.

I am busy as a bumble- bee, [ Miri you can appreciate that, smile] doing what i need to do to find God's opened doors. So pray for an Apartment opening, a job, physical healing, and relational healing for me. Transportation too, might as well right?!! It's already a load and a half as it is....Smile. God bless each one for your prayers. I believe where two or more are gathered there He is also.


Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I will let you know of His answers as they arrive...Thank you for being a part of those .
:)

Keeping the faith is the most important thing. God knows what you have need of and he will take of those needs, but putting Him first in all you do and being obediant is what He wants you to do. I know, I know it's easier said than done and for someone not walking in your shoes, it's easy to keep the faith. But we all have problems and it seems like in these last days, satan is really pulling out his ace cards, to throw the believer off track. But if we all stick together, pray and seek God's face, we will make it through whatever arrows satan is throwing.

Keep you head up, God is watching over you. Smile.

I thank you all for the concerns and prayers you have put on my behalf,

I feel like Paul , in the area of Contentment. I have had plenty in my life. and I have had almost nothing, yet will I live in the reality of my life. That which is all and in all, My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

My Joy loses, not a thing, yet my circumstances change around me on a regular basis, regardless of my investment in stability. I do not work in life anymore like when I was younger, to strive for the white Pickett fence and the balanced Christian walk, alone. I strive for the radical life of balance in Christ Jesus, to live a life of peace, and invest in people and things that are important in life. And this is in part because of the trials I have endured. From it comes a perseverance in me that redefines my character. All not to boast but to die all the more to self. Trials have been a blessing, my life bears much fruit.

As, a 80's artist might say this life at the moment, is "nothing but a thing".....the world calls me-in denial. I call me sold out. And as I have already said I do not simply wallow, or as scripture calls it, sloth, in my grace. I work hard to go forward, for faith without works is dead.

People at my job have told me I work way too hard. I set the bar too high for them to follow, said jokingly. Yet, it is even in my effort in my labor I serve God. I will come from this circumstance in life and move on...So, I thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers, for they will be your own credit in the log- book of heaven. And I personally thank you one last time. As the song goes.."And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace".

I see there is a parallel in my life as I live it...the more I remain the more my Joy gains....the stuff around me matters not!
That's not denial, that's reality. I have pain, but God is with me even on that score.

Aw just had to add another busy little bumble bee to this thread.

Praying that you will know the peace of God in this situation and that you will be able to find it in yourself to know when to act but also to know when to sit back and turn it all over to God. That is one thing God has shown me that I spend so much time at the front of the battle that I don't allow God to battle on my behalf.

Praying that God will guide you to a place to live and that he is already working on the heart of the landlord to have favour towards you. Praying for full healing, He knows our bodies far better than better than any medic. Praying for transport and a job also. One thing I have learnt is that sometimes it can be good to be in a position where we are forced to be still and use that time to build a relationship with God.

LORD,

I ask and believe in Your restoration and healing in this situation. Lay Your hand on this brother and remind him that all things come together for the good of those who love and serve You, Father. That You, the LORD GOD Almighty, can turn the situation around in his home, and in the hearts of men. That You can grant him favour in the eyes of his co-workers and the people around him. Father, protect his heart and strengthen his faith, that he may speak into being that which is unseen and move the mountains in his life.

I pray this in Jesus name,
Amen

Hey slave, I know these are tough times and it may be hard to see a brighter day but when things like this happen, praise God! He will always provide. I pray in the name of mighty Jesus for your victory. I rebuke any forces that are trying to get you out of God's grace and I declare victory up on your life. Pain-gone! Unemployment-gone! Lack of home-gone! Lack of transportation-gone! Lord we come to you with humble hearts and unshakeable faith because we know you are in control. This storm will pass and we shall see your light. Build his strength Father and refresh his soul so that he may not falter but love you more because you are preparing him for a glorious season in his life. You know his heart, his situation and how much he is fighting to survive. Do your will Lord in your perfect time. May his current situation be a testimony very soon. May you place him in the right place, time, and with the right people. Surround him with blessings bigger than he has ever imagined. Thank you for the work your doing Lord. In Jesus's holy name, AMEN.

Just to update, my divorce is final. I never stopped hoping.. God has given me peace thru-out it all. But the pain is not ever reduced. It is the most transparently painful thing in my life.

But now God has allowed my heart to rest. I have not slammed the door, even yet; despite obvious outcomes. .But ,I will in time, move on. I will allow the freedom to worship God in my house never to be undermined again. I am not throwing fingers at my ex, I am standing directly in front of Satan and telling him what's up! And God will have my back... A Jezebel will not slip by my notice. And although there is never a guarantee of such things, I will say this,... "as for me and my house I will serve the Lord!" Thank you all for your prayers and comments. May God richly bless you all.

Father God, may you pour out your divine blessing according to your will on this man. Please bring healing to every area of his life, spirit, body, mind, will, emotions. Lord, I pray you make him whole and give him beauty for his ashes. I come to you through the mercy and grace of the shed blood of Yeshua the Messiah, amen.

Update: I have gone thru Nursing training now, and have been hired, circumstances may not allow me down this road altogether, but God can do as He pleases, and I will follow! Right now, a meal is a meal is a meal.... right? This post has been an encouragement to me, I was only planning on one inclusion but as I see the Lord working over time, I am an audience to His grace just as you all are..THANK YOU LORD!

Praising God is the Ultimate end and aim of all I go thru. "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me." What does it matter whether I am poor or rich, well or ill even, It is all a matter of indifference; but one thing is not a matter of indifference, and that is that I am pleasing to the ears of my God.

I have learned a lot of who God is over these last years; I have learned a lot of whom I am in relationship to God as well. We cannot talk to God unless we walk with Him when we are not talking.
:rolleyes: Smile. I know that in the trenches of my life; where the rubber meets the road, my prayers are not logical; but they are a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.

I started praying for Him to prove His might to me, but that was me focusing on my difficulties, and not being humble enough. Once I got rid of that anxiety, and became humble to the bone, I realized as He was so calm, that God never answers prayer to prove His might; for He is the Almighty! I was transformed into my own calm, and trust, and confidence in God, that if God is for me, who can be against me?

Bring it on! God will have me conquer it; for God fights His battles thru me and for me! Even though, God never has done it my way, He has always done it the "Best" way. AMEN!
:).

If anyone would want me to pray for needs you may need prayer over, I am always available to invest in Eternal things of value so ask or mention them here in this thread, so we all can give birth to prayer..

I don't have time,

I make time!!

Otherwise Satan would just overwhelm me with Urgencies in life. I intentionally slow down and wait on the Lord, and by doing that, all the Tyranny of the Urgent matters not.

I pray all of us are flourishing in Christ Jesus and Our Heavenly Father, for it is our relationship to Him the person, that reflects upon our circumstances, not the other way around! May God Richly bless all of us; His Children. If any of you have any prayer requests....feel free to post it here so we can all pray, or flip me a Post Script, and surely I will put it to my knees giving it to God on your behalf! :).. This has become an "answered prayer" thread...Smile. But then we all had no doubts right? Actually I didn't! For I knew who would deserve the Praise - God thru Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. AMEN!
