I posted a prayer a while back regarding my marriage and that friend of mine, so called. My marriage still isn't what I would like it to be and I have deleted my account on that particular website since I believe the so called friend was watching my videos but not communicating. Kind of like when Christ said to get rid of whatever causes you to sin so I got rid of that account.

Problem is that person is still on my mind so either the Devil is trying to get me to stumble or there is another reason this is happening that is not clear right now.

Also I am trying to focus more on my business and other than taking care of grandbaby am basically doing that all day and night but dealing with click fraud regarding advertising and lots of work since I do my own websites and SEO, etc. For all the work I do I should be a multi-millionaire but not just yet I guess.

So what am I asking for? I would like God's will be done in my life and for things not to be so hard. I think I'm pretty tough but me and my faith is really being tested and has been for about the past 2 years. I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel and could have just given up by now and claimed there is no God or that he doesn't care but I know that isn't true even considering all the circumstances.

I just would like to know what to do other than what I have already regarding the friend. There is no contact and he has no way of contacting me since I deleted my account and even though I could contact him I'm not going to. But why he still keeps popping up in my head and even my dreams is beyond me.

Also I need help in my business so that I may realize the fruits of my labors. Advertising and click fraud is a major stumbling block and unfortunately the lack of exposure and quality of the same affects my bottom line.

Thanks for any prayers submitted on my behalf.

Poopsey, I think patience it one of the most difficult things for us beings to learn/accept in our lives. But I pray that you practice patience and don't let your Faith in God faulter. He takes care of all His children <3 As for this "friend," I admire that you cut all contact with him. Bless you! It makes sense that you think about him and even dream about him, we are only human... I pray that your marriage becomes stronger and that y'all gather up the courage to work things out and become stronger together <3 I'm sorry you've been having difficult times but do not forget that eternity with God is the greatest gift and all He asks of us is for our Love. Practice patience and listen with your soul to what God has in store for you. God bless, you're in my prayers!

Praying for all you ask and need in Jesus.
Sometimes one cannot always see the goal, but faith is continueing to persue Jesus even when one cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.
For we seek that which is eternal and spritual, not flesh. :)

Hugs and God bless

renewing my prayers for you, sister poopsey.&#9829;
I send you this, as it's been cropping up all over my own life, too:
Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man&#8217;s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus&#8217; sake. For God, who said, &#8220;Light shall shine out of darkness,&#8221; is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus&#8217; sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, &#8220;I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE,&#8221; we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4



I pray you will find blessing and peace in the Word of God, Who is Jesus.

I can't say for sure this is the reason...
But sometimes we need to ask God to remove any ties we have to some body before we can be released.
Science has proven that when people spend time together...they connect some how.
I think that is why it is so important to spend time praying and talking to God.
That is why Jesus spent so much time praying and talking with the Father...so they could stay connected as one
while Jesus was here on earth.
I hope this helps, love in Christ, Shekaniah

Ephesians 6:18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Jude 1:20
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.

I hear what you are saying. The soul tie connection. I don't totally buy into that but in this case the friend was never in person. It was online only.

So either it goes away eventually or else there is something to it further down in the future.

All I know is I cannot keep going on like this. I am going to literally burn out from all the stress.

Also my business is very important since I may need my own income in the future and I have the grandbaby to raise and my health does not really permit me to work outside the home and even if I did I would only qualify for some dinky job since I've been out of the work force for such a long time.

I really don't know what to do but I am not going to contact that friend again.

If God wants him in my life then I'm sure he will arrange for our paths to cross again.

As for my marriage I think it is pretty well extinct. I don't trust my husband anymore and most of my feelings are gone. It is very painful living like this and even though I am married I feel like I am alone so I might as well be actually alone. I don't see this turning around since I have been going through this for the past 2 years.

I don't know what else to say and don't even know if I am making any sense any more. I feel totally lost and I have to get back to work on my business anyways. I guess I'll drown myself in that for now and wait to see what happens.

Hopefully soon I will be at peace. I haven't been happy in such a long time that I don't even know what that feels like anymore.

That is what I need. For God to open or close doors. I really don't know what direction to take and God sees and knows things that I do not. I am totally at a loss as to what to do so am waiting for clear direction and until then I'm not really making any drastic changes.

Right. So you say. So are you going to pray for me or not?

I could make a separate post for each issue but it would take too long and probably be confusing.

I'd like to see you handle all the things I've been juggling for the past two years.

Lord let Your light shine upon the life of Poopsey that she may find hope and strength in you. Cause her to hear from you Lord and silence the voice of the enemy and the voice of the flesh in the name of Jesus! Speak Lord, and let your servant listen. And let your peace guard her heart and mind and fill her with your joy. In Jesus' name, amen
