Sorry to hear that faithandlove. I'm not sure what you are going thru at work but I will pray you have the rest that you need and the strength needed to hold on to God and keep moving forward in any situation. May God's peace comfort you.

My dear sisters, thank you so much for your prayers. You have no idea how much the enemy has done on my job to try and deter me and make me doubt everything that I know to be true.

Pickles, how do you do it, my dear!:) You always come to the rescue of so many of us on here, with some of the best advise and encouragement! Where are you getting all of this strength!:) May God continue to bless you and keep you!

You have stength and victory IN Christ, the world and all that is in it is fading away fast, focus on your relationship with Christ, be sure you are walking the crucified life, and have repented of all sin and rebellion, many will teach you can be in wilfull sin against God and still be in His will, but this isnt so.

Jesus promised His true followers would be hated, despised and ignored in this world, we will not fit into the worlds mold, and IF you do, you need to go and do your first works by repenting and seeking the mercy of God, He diddnt promise us an easy life such as what Joel Osteen teaches, this is pure feel good psychology, and has nothing to do with the narrow road!

Hang in there, and please be sure you do this first:

Jas 4:7
Therefore submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas 4:8
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners; and purify your hearts, double-minded ones.
Jas 4:9
Be afflicted, and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaviness.
Jas 4:10
Be humbled before the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Praying for you....strength and guidance. Yes, the workplace can be a real challenge! Get plenty of sleep, eat right, exercise and most importantly, stay close to Christ. But you probably already know that :).

Brother Tommy, you don't know just HOW much I needed to hear those precious words of wisdom and encouragement. Thank you. Thank you.

Sister Lucy, thank you so much for praying for me. My soul is really heavy and I can't seem to shake it.

But today, I will focus on my relationship with God. I will do some soul searching and try to figure out what I'm missing/not seeing in these trials (I don't want to have to repeat them!:)).

Again, thank you everyone. I am praying for you all. May God bless you and keep you.:)

Will do.
Remember, who ascends the mount of the Lord?
The proud?
The strong?
No, it is the humble and contrite spirit that dwells in His Holy Mountain.
God hasn't left you, He's not forgotten you.
Your problems are but a stepping stone to a greater glory which He shows through you.
God resists the proud, and draws nigh to those of a broken spirit, and contrite heart.
Personally I'd rather be at the bottom looking up with Jesus by my side,
than sitting on top of the world alone.

Ahh Lord I lift her up to you in prayer asking that you bring peace to her job and that you smooth over any difficulties that she may face, I pray and ask on Jesus name amen. I hate work problems, they suck the worst huh. Have faith our Lord is always with you ok because he really truly is if you belong to Him.

Brother Rick, how right you are! My problems are small. But when you are facing these small problems, they can seem like giants! But you're right, God has not left me or forgotten me, and He does show forth His glory through me. Thank you and may God continue to keep you.:)

Sister Bekah, I have read many of your postings and have prayed for you my dear. I know you have been going through a lot yourself lately. It's tough. I know. So, I am very grateful that you have taken the time to answer my post and pray for me. Iron sharpens iron. And where two or three are gathered together, God is in the mist of them. Stay strong, my dear. We are all on our way home!:)

May God bless and keep you all.

THE LORD IS FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISES, WE JUST NEED TO TURN THE RIGHT WAY. THERE ARE 2 WATER COOLERS IN MY HOME. EVEN IF I NEED TO GO THERE AND HAVE A COOL DRINK OF WATER, THERE ARE THINGS THAT AT TIMES DETER ME. SO ARE THE CARES OF THIS LIFE. THE LORD SAID, THAT THE CARES AND WORRIES CAN CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF US, OR THE WEEDS, COULD DESTROY OUR HOPES. THE LORD, SAYS TO HOPE IN HIM. REDIRECT YOUR FOCUS ONTO HIS WORD, IN SPIRITUAL FATIGUE TO BE STRENGTHENED, AS WATER FOR THE BODY, THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH. WE WALK NOT AROUND WITH AN EMPTY CUP, FOR WE TURN TO THE ROCK, OUR CUP OVERFLOWS, PSALM 23. THE LORD STRENGTHEN YOU.
