Beyond frustrated. Just tired of it all. So tired. It's not fun anymore. They are killing my passion for working in your ministry...as one of us said what ministry? I don't mind the submission part but I don't appreciate you involving others like you are telling on me.

It's not in my heart to forgive now. I really don't even wanna talk about it this is the last time. I'm trying not to be selfish or take everything personally. I learn best in groups and I learn best about you when I get with other women who Love YOU. I just want that back including the joy.

I'm lost. I know You are there but I don't know how to find You. Do I even want to find You right now. I'm too angry right now and trying not to sin. Cover me Lord. Show me the way to You.

Vonnie, Tell Him you're mad..really. Tell Him. He can handle it. Lay it at His feet Let it become His problem. It leaves it free for Him to deal with the people that are hurting you. It may leave Him free to deal with you and how you respond to things. This will only make you stronger. When you are ready forgive every day. Hour to hour moment to moment if you have to :)

I refuse to remain in bondage to church hurts and spiritual abuse. Lord set me free from the pain of the past and set me in a high place where I only see you and not the hurt. Give me strength to not look at what they did but to look at what you are doing in Me.

I see why it is important that leaders walk like Christ because of the damage they can cause others when they are full of pride. Lord help me not be bitter. I want to be free.

I am free and no more chains holding me. I will continue to declare your goodness over my life and not rehearse to pain.

Thank you Lord for your patience with me, thank you Lord for your healing touch.

I love you Jesus.

Everyone of us..has gotta learn to trust..
What have I become?????


I wish to be like the Bereans constantly speaking about and dissecting His Word. To hide His Love and Torah in my heart.

I loved this!!!

Years passed. The Scriptures say close to forty years went by. The Israelites must have thought after all those years that their crying had fallen on deaf ears. Was the Lord listening? Were they crying in vain?

Do you ever feel that way? You have asked God to deliver you from something, and it seems as though God has not heard your cries of deliverance. Let me encourage you dear one, He does not ignore the cries of His people. He has not ignored your cries. Just as God had a sovereign plan designed to free His people from slavery, He has a sovereign plan to free you from that which holds you captive.

The cries of the Israelites were heard and answered in Exodus chapter 13.Finally, they were going to be free from the bondage of slavery to the Egyptians. Don't you know they were thrilled beyond words? Life in total freedom was just over the horizon! However, the plan for deliverance from Pharaoh led them straight from Egypt to the desert. Funny how God works, isn't it? The desert was God's idea of freedom.

Isaiah the prophet tells us in chapter 55 that God's ways and thoughts are higher than our ways and thoughts. I do not know about you, but that gives me great comfort. Exodus 13:17 demonstrates this concept, "When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, 'If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt '" (NIV). I really like short cuts, but God thought the short cut out of Egypt was not the best route. He was even gracious enough to explain His reasoning.

God wants to deliver us from our bondage, but many times we want the easy way out... a short cut: "Get me out of this mess Lord, but please don't let the way out cause me any pain or inconvenience." God knows our weaknesses. He knows how easily we would slip back into bondage if we faced adversity in the easy way out. In His great wisdom and sovereignty His plan for the exodus of our bondage is not the quick, easy way. He will lead us out through a path that will create a dependency on Him. This path will also strengthen our relationship with Him, give us a renewed assurance of our faith, and equip us for a possible slip back into the pit.Read in Exodus verses 18-19, "So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea . The Israelites went up out of Egypt armed for battle." Did you catch that last part about being armed for battle?

The way out of bondage is sure but not always swift. In some situations God shows His great mercy and the exit is quick -- we're left in awe by His power. In other situations, God chooses to take us by the desert road to strengthen us. Two things are certain no matter the route: victory for us and glory for our God.

You can not judge a book by its cover. On the way home I saw a huge red pick up truck that had chrome on the wheels and on different parts of the truck. On the back was two pictures of Jesus and in between the two pictures was "Revelation 3:20". It goes to show you that Christians come in all shapes and personalities. I love to see things like that. :love3: Ladies keep him and his family in prayer.


Here is Revelation 3:20

20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Lord today I'm indifferent maybe its early peace IDK. I was able to focus at work, have fun talk and joke even sleep. Never was I upset, distracted, sad nothing. Then when I thought about sending an email all those negative thoughts came back. Lord just heal me first.

I know I have to deal with the person but I still have to steward my life correctly and if that will bring me more anxiety at this point then let me just focus on You. You are constant, consistent, never changing. All the things we as humans can never be on this side of heaven. You and You alone can get me through this or anything else.

Praise the Lord. I did something for my mom because she was busy and stressed, and was so afraid that she was going to take offense--like I had crossed a boundary. We don't have the greatest of relationships. But she sent me an e-mail saying, "I love you, I love you, I love you." We never exchange I love you's. I was just praising and thanking God, that was such a blessing to me.

[Angelicus]

Thank you, everyone, for your encouragement and strength! This past week was the first week at my job where I didn't have a panic attack or cry at my desk. Please keep me in prayer as I continue to find another job.

Can we stop equating homosexual people with pedophiles, rapists and molesters as christians? They are not one in the same.

God I NEED YOU TO MOVE IN MY FAVOR IN EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE.....NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!

Ok, I feel better. Thanks God for reading and listening to my mental rant!

[luthiengirlie]

(Screaming) I'm tired God! It's not fair! I don't know what to do, I'm tired, tired, tired. I'm blindly having faith on situations that I don't see any foward progression on. I don't see any breakthroughs in my situation. How much longer you want me to "keep the faith"?!? I'm tired of worrying, how rent is going to get paid or bills paid, car note due etc etc. Where are my hearts desires in these situations, those secret things? Why do I feel force to take ANY job.......AGAIN! Where's my dream job? Where's my God-sent husband? I've been counseling everybody, I've been given everybody your Word, helping. But yet THEY have the blessing I'm praying for, I no the last shall be first and vice versa, but dang. Where's the favor and blessing that YOU, AND others have told me about once I made this significant move?!?!?!

YHWH and Changed, May I respectfully encourage Your wonderful daughter Changed for a moment if I may...

I heard a SUPER POWERFUL SERMON! By Bishop Eddie Long today. I found something that may help:yep:
Have you let Tara in your life? Tara = delay.

But what I TRULY desire to state is this: Isaiah 31;1 Do NOT go to egypt(the world). Seek only YHWH-El Shaddai! (God, the One who is always there)

He told us the Promise, but He did not tell us the in-between.

He said" Can u, stay with Me a little while longer?". My PROMISE will be fulfilled as long as you don't go back to Egypt. Will You LET ME be your YHWH-Jireh. Let me provide for you. Let tommrow speak for itself. Let YHWH prove to the Word through You that He is ONE and only provider. He gave us Give us our daily bread for a REASON! We have to go through for His PROMISE. His PROMISE is that He will NEVER leave nor forsake you, Beautiful Changed :). HIS PROMISE is that He will supply your needs. You have, food,house, everything. HE UNDERSTANDS!

If Changed I sinned in getting between the convo with you and YHWH. Most humbly I ask for forgiveness. I just wanted to encourage.

Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:6-7. “For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus"

By Jesus's stripes, we were healed. By your stripes you can bring healing also to people that are going through what you have been through. You are where you are for a reason Changed, that certain place that you are is a sacred place. Trust God's infinite love and perfect wisdom which means perfect timing. I pray that as you let your requests known to God that His peace will surround you and help you to be still and know that He IS God. The all knowing, perfect God. I also pray that He renews your strength and gives you the ability to go on being faithful and not give up or give into fear and miss what He has planned for you. I pray that during this time, that you will draw even closer to Him and really seek His face. And as you do this that He will reveal Himself more and more to you. I pray that He opens your heart even more to learn the things He is teaching you now and gives you clarity as to where He is taking you. I pray that God blesses you in every area of your life that you are needing Him right now and that He gives you favor in everything you do. I pray for movement in the stagnant areas of your life and for life in the dry bones of your life. I pray that your life will be a living testimony of the goodness of God. I pray all of this in Jesus's name ... Amen :). Will pray for you some more. Just know that it will be well. The bigger it is God wants to entrust you with, the harder the process.

I'm doing the 'word' at fellowship tonight and the topic is God's justice and mercy. The more I think about it, the more I see that God's judgement is an expression of His love and desire for the best for me. How cool.

[Laela]

Amen to that! :Rose:

I like reading the biblical story of Joseph. It's so many lessons in this story to learn from.

The biggest lesson in this story for me is that when it appears that all hope is gone it's really not. It may appear at the present moment that things are out of control but God is Sovereign, He is in control. He is working behind the scenes for our good.

I recently meditated on the story of Joseph and couldn't imagine how he was able to overcome his trials. I wondered if he ever thought if all hope was gone. But God is so good that He led me to Isaiah 40:28-31 to answer my question.

28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.


29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
