I dont normally feel sorry for myself and I love to help others. Right now Ive been unemployed since Feb and moved to Maryland from Florida for a job. I got a DWI and many other charges pending against me and I dont remember anything that happened. I lost the job I had because of this and I feel desperate for the first time in my life. I have joined AA and want to make things right. I am a father and a grandfather. Never been in trouble in my life. My wife passed in 2005 and I have been so alone I drank for the company at bars.Thanks for listening pray for me not to go to jail.
 
Hi Tom:) I cannot say i know your pain but i can say this, this is happening for a reason and i will show you why i say this. 1Peter4:12-13 My friends do not be surprised at the terrible trouble that now comes to test you. Do not think something strange is happening to you. But be happy that you are sharing in christs suffering so that you will be happy and full of joy when christ comes again in glory. Isaiah 41:10 so do not worry because i am with you. don't be afraidd because i am your god. I will make you strong and i will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you. it's in these times of trouble that we are built the most, If we relt on ourselveves to overcome them we will only end up worse than before but if we rely comepletly on god to help and save us our faith will be like gold that has been tested by fire to be pure. words have power to the one who believes and prayers are answered to the faithful and humble.
 
Lord thank you for turning it all around, and for a good report in Jesus name amen all for your glory

You are in my prayers in Jesus's name, for all needed, asked and more.

God bless

Tom--:)
I'm so glad you've joined us!

And I sorrow with you over these things,
especially the loss of your dear wife...:(


19 Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and bitterness.

20Surely my soul remembers
And is bowed down within me.

21This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.

22The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.


23They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I have hope in Him.”

25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the person who seeks Him.

26It is good that he waits silently
For the salvation of the LORD. (Lamentations 3:19-26)


Abba, we love You!
Because of You, we are here.
Because of You, Tom has joined us!
We thank You so much for these, and all things.
Even the things we cannot understand, because we know they come from Your hand,
and Love is always what motivates You toward us. ♥


I ask that You make Tom know You extend a merciful hand to him in this time, Lord God.
Abba, please reveal Your Son to Tom anew in this time,
so he can just fix his eyes on Jesus,
the Author and Finisher of Tom's faith.
I ask that You make Tom know just how wide and how long and how high and how deep
the love of Jesus is for him. (Eph. 3:18)


Abba, please make the Lord Jesus Tom's Advocate before this nation's law.
May Your will be done, according to Your mercy,
and may this establish a testimony for Tom
to Your goodness.
May this be to Your glory,
and for his good,
for Jesus' sake,
amen. ♥


Hold on, Tom! The Lord is on your side!

You re in my prayers, you willbe in constant defeat until you come to real repentance and faith, yes we all have failed God, some more than others, but God is no respecter of persons,but will give you all you need in Jesus Christ to mend your ways and your doings, you may end up in prison, but at least you will be right with God!

You cannot live a life in rebellion to God,and expect Him to make your life easier, you have TO DO something which is obey God from your heart, but nothing will happen unless you repent and seek his mercy!
The solution is simple!​

2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.​
The church today has transgressed form being a body of strong believers (obedient and faithful) who knew from the beginning they were responsible for their conduct and actions before an all Holy God! To a group of tolerant pseudo Christians who have a form of godliness but deny His power!
The church gathering wasn’t a time for fun and games, or seeing just how close they can get and be OF the world and still be called a Christian.
They took the word of God seriously, and knew all false doctrine, and love of the world needed to be put to death and removed from the body!
But not today, you tell the professing Christian world they must cleanse themselves, forsake all their vile sins and worldliness, and perfect holiness in the fear of God, they will scream legalism, works salvation, and call you a religious Pharisee!
It’s not uncommon for the professing Church to condone adultery, homosexuality, fornication among its members, and many more vile sins, they have bought into the lie that soothes their conscience while they wallow in sin and disobedience, think they are in the spirit, but have never cleansed themselves in repentance as God commands.
Yes, it’s simple, but so much forgotten, the word of God is a mere suggestions for most who profess Christ, where they would much rather talk about their favorite movie, video game, sports star, and their wonderful church that promotes the saved IN sin lie!
There is NO urgency to proclaim the truth, as it’s a strong offense to the worldly and lukewarm, they flock to their church every week, to hear a watered down message of the gospel, telling them Jesus cleansed them, it’s already done, and this perfecting Holiness in the fear of the Lord, was also a done deal on the cross!
They take a simple message from God that would solve all the problems the church is going through, and then make many excuses why they cannot obey from their hearts and repent on the scale of the city of Nineveh.
Their only fear is the loss of some rewards, since they were declared righteous the moment they confessed they were born a sinner incapable of repenting and stopping their sins.
Thus the fun and games continues while the multitudes die in their sins, as it’s not their job to judge and no one is perfect, which to them means the practicing homosexual, adulterer, drunkard, drug addict, immoral woman, thief, etc., are covered by the blood, since Jesus cleansed them, and became their righteousness, which then complicates the whole matter.
I urge anyone who has fallen into this lie, to wake up, cleanse yourself before God in repentance as He demands, seek His great mercy, stop taking Him for granted, and perfect holiness and heart purity in great fear and admiration for the Lord!
1Co 6:20 For you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
Do you honestly believe, you can glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, when you are still defiled in your heart and sold under sin? God forbid!
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried. But the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
So it’s simple! Cleanse yourself as commanded, you shall be purified with a cleansed heart which comes from repentance, and made white. (Pure) Those who are wicked, and remain in bondage, or still in their carnal mind, shall not understand, as wisdom from God comes to the pure in heart!
Mat 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart! For they shall see God.

This is very extreme. The phrasing and demanding attitude is what makes it hard to understand and accept a higher power. I am learning very much and beginning to understand.Thank you for your input in my matter. It is appreciated very much.

Praying you will come to know the hope and grace that goes with it all!

Romans 5:20
"Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more."
 
For a followup to my post. I was let off the two worst charges last Wednesday. There was no evidense the cops were just throwing the book at me. However I was also given a court sommons for divorce from my wife while I was at the courthouse. The lord works in heartbreaking ways since I was a child and it will not stop in my lifetime. Its very hard to believe in God when these bad things keep happening. He is in each of us as is the devil. My soon to be ex proving that point as well.
 
surrender to our Lord, get on your knees and lay all of this at his feet and ask him for his help and for his mercy and for his direction. Cry out to our Jesus Brother. I lifted you up in prayer Tom. God Bless. Remember its usually when we are at rock bottom that something life changing happens when you know our Jesus as your savior. Have faith that he is bigger then all of your problems. If you have asked him into your heart as your personal savior Tom then he is beside you and with you through it all. It may not be easy but you are never alone and you will NOT drown. Remember that your hope is in the Lord. Cry cry cry out to Him.
