Currently, I don't have a church home but have been a believer almost 49 years. I taught the Bible in NC schools for a few years and have taught other subjects in both public and private schools. My last job was as a hospital secretary. Currently, I am unemployed as my Dad just died and I am caring for my Mother with health issues. We are extremely close and the loss of my Dad was horrific. I am single and as you can guess older.
I realize there may be different opinions on this but I do believe that Jesus is the Healer. I believe Scripture teaches this. Yes, sometimes He works through doctors and medicines but I believe there is no disease beyond His power to heal.
I mention this because just yesterday the Lord literally woke me up and it was as if I were praying in my sleep for my Mom. He gave me a peace about her healing and most of my day was joyous.
But by the end of the day the tormenter brought such oppression against me I felt I could be losing my mind. I kept crying out to Jesus. I haven't Bern able to sleep a d I feel I am sinking into a hopelessness I don't want to be in. It's as if I am so alone in this journey. I keep calling on Jesus but I'm paralyzed with fear and yet I know He doesn't give us a spirit of fear. If everyone who feels led to woukd pray for me and my Mom, JoAnn. Thank you.

Welcome!
I will lift your mother up in prayer, JoAnn, and ask also that your peace and joy in the Lord be restored...


Praise the Lord

Thank you Magenta. This means more than you can imagine!

Precious friend, @Shoshie, I will pray for you; Please Be Very Richly Encouraged
And Comforted In:

God's Grace Word for our infirmities!

Amen.

Thank you so much, Grace!

Welcome here.. Praying.. God bless you!

"I pray the Lord's spirit comes upon your life with spiritual energy that gives
strength and hope for healing of the mind and life giving encouragement that fulfils your needs."
'Amen'

Jesus did say, "Fear not, for I am with you". Yes, that probably is easier said than done but Jesus remains with you. I will pray that God places a hedge around you and those that you love and keeps Satan out. Glad to have you join our community. Welcome to CC.

Thanks so much to all of you. Sometimes you feel you are all alone. It's so nice to feel others are praying!

Welcome, Shoshie!

Hi Shoshie nice to meet you and welcome to the CC fellowship! Yes, Jesus is the Healer 'He sent His Word and healed me'. A big truth I've found out is the more we learn what Scripture says, the less room we have for secular ways. Proverbs 4:20 'My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings' is just one telling us the importance of knowing what God says. God bless & keep you and your mom -, so glad you're here🌹🙏✝🔯

What a word of encouragement Tabin. I needed that! I'm glad I joined too

You may feel alone or lonely, but rest assured that you are never alone. There are angels watching over & listening to you. God is with you 24/7/365. At a time when I could not pray, talk to anyone, & suffering emotionally, I went to bed and slept with my Bible hugged up in my arms. Read Is. 41:10; Matt 28:20; Dt 31:6; 1Peter 5:7. People you don’t know care & pray for you. Give it to God & go to sleep this evening.

Your response meant more than I can express in words!!! Thank you!!!

I appreciate your response. It’s always good to know that my heart & my words helped someone. Thank you.
