I don't know about you but I tend to lose my peace & not always for the same reason. In other words, I can not use the same scripture or song or words of prayer that worked the last time. I must find the root cause. It is very hard to & rare to hear from God when my inner man is in turmoil. Have you ever walked around feeling sort of gloomy or short of patience but did not know why?<img smilieid="10" class="inlineimg" src="http://christianchat.com/images/smilies/confused.gif" border="0"><br><br> My stepfather pointed his finger at me & told me I had no right to correct him, he was the head of the house, he is a prophet of God. Jesus would never speak to him in that spirit & I needed to check my salvation. This is about Donald Trump & his first divorce mind you. He & my mother said, he was broke because his evil wife did not know all he owned but when she found out divorced him & sued him for all his money.<br>I said, I don't think this is true because I remembered that she worked with him on projects & should therefor know about what he had. My stepfather declared he heard it from Trump himself on the news (probably lying). <img smilieid="7" class="inlineimg" src="http://christianchat.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"><br>Anyway, I have the laptop & looked on the internet & after I read the information, he blew up about it. I think mainly because he has this issue about money being his & his alone. He is very down on women because he hates the fact that being the head means being the provider. So when I said some of the money rightfully belonged to her, it was over. "Don't you dare... blah blah blah!!"<br><br> Well, I know I did nothing wrong. Yet since last evening I began feeling irritated. Today, I felt bothered by all his comments that he continues to make about that 'spirit' in the house that he had to get rid of. My peace began to disappear. I felt like I had a conflict inside & did not know why. Well, after prayer, staying quiet & praying for others on a prayer site, the Lord finally brought it to my heart. My pride was hurt. <br><br> So, I was able to give my pride to the Lord in prayer & ask for Him to let me see through His eyes. He brought something else to my heart , more thoughts of wisdom & those knots left. I felt light as a feather. I had joy again. Now, I am still going to pray about the situation but it no longer has all the space taken in my mind.<img smilieid="1" class="inlineimg" src="http://christianchat.com/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0"><br>
