When you are going through your times of trials and you feel like giving up then turn to the Lord and you will feel much comfort.

No matter what your trials consist of may it be financial issues, relationships, children, work issues, a lose of a loved one, someone going to jail, someone doing you wrong, attack from the enemy, a fight with a friend,anxiety, depression, IBS, OCD, no matter what the condition is the Lord will turn it around for your good.

Go to the Lord in your time of troubles, find scriptures to stand on and pray those scriptures over your situation. When you feel like your panic is at an all time high go to him and hand over your situation to the Lord. Through Christ all things are possible and through his stripes you are healed!

I cry out to the Lord with my voice; with my voice to the Lord I make my supplications. I pour out my complaint befoe Him; I declare before Him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In th way in which I walk they have secretly set a snare for me. Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refudge has failed me; No one cares for my soul. I cried out to you, O Lord; I said, "you are my refuge, my potion in the land of the living. Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stonger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name; the righteous shall surround me, for you shall deal bountifully with me." Pslam 142:1-7

In time of troubles I stand on the Lords word. Man's word means nothing to me at all.

You shall not show pariality in judgement; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afriad in any man's presence. for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.
Deut. 1:17

The Lord knew everything that we would go through and all the things that would be brought against us and he has left his Holy book to tell us what to do. It is like an instruction manual for life.

Sometimes when we go through things that we don't understand why they happened then know that the Lord has a different plan than what you can see as a human. I know that when I thought that my life was at an all time low the Lord had to do things that I didn't understand to get ahold of my attention so that I would listen and trust in him.

I will end this by saying that the Lord is in control and through all things in him will stengthen me. When we are going through things then the Lord will us everything to our advantage. God bless you all and know that he is always with us 24 hours a day. He knows what we need without asking but we need to ask him for guidance so that he can take us out of all of our problems. All have a blessed day and know that he carries us when we feel like we can't make it.

Jennifer,
That was so pretty I love to read what you post
you are so positive.I have a prayer request,my daughter has migraine head aches has had since high school she used to only have 1 a year.lately she is under a lot of stress,and she gets scared when has one .one thing because her eyes mess up from what she decribes they get pretty bad this causes tremendous fear.she then starts worring and I think causes another one she infact had one yesterday I took her supper last night and she is a beliver her church believes in healing she has been prayed for but our fear cancels out faith and it is hard to get to God when you are afraid.I feel terrible because I have had agrophobia for several years.It is still partical there I can go some not everywhere I have never pushed myself and I think I have been living a life of denial or sticking my head in the sand.
Please pray for us I know God can take care of this Jesus did not come and die in vain.I beleive that fear is from the devil because the word says perfect love cast out fear and God did not give me the spirt of fear but of power and love and a sound mind now how do you get these things from God asking then acepting this puts my problems with myself and my mother on the back burner.

Forever young 06' I too get migraine headaches so I know how your daughter feels. I have had them so bad that I would sometimes be afraid because they were what I thought more than I could handle. I will be praying for her and yourself as well. I am also struggling with fear from anxiety and yes, I too know that it is from the enemy. I wasn't always like this. After two deaths of people I was close to I began being afraid of dying ( how silly of me I will be with the Lord) but it then turned into other fears as well with my health and then going places ect. I am getting past some of my going places. I make myself during the week go at least one place a day and now my range is getting more wide of where I will go. I will find you all the scriptures I can on healing and I will send them to you for both of you. Stand on those scriptures and both of you pray them over yourselves. The enemy wants to kill, steal, and destroy. Well he is trying to steal your victory, and destroy your home and happiness. The Lord says that you are healed by his stripes, so claim that everyday and tell your daughter to do the same. Caffeine intake, and certain plastics like from shower curtains have something they put off that will cause headaches to get bad. Also if she is deficient in anything it can cause them. Taking vitamins will help. Also allergies will cause me sometimes to get headaches. Some of these things are my triggers and along with my headaches I get panic but the last headache I had for two days and the morning I woke up I wouldn't give it any place and acting like it didn't bother me one bit and I was able to deal with it without the horrible pain. I know what she means by her eyes. Mine will cause me not to focus and then I start feeling dizzy and things blurr and its almost like a light has been flashed in my eyes for a real long time and then I just don't feel right. I will send you some things later on today on your PM along with my prayers for you and your daughter. God bless and yes through him we are healed and we are going to claim that today at this very hour for you, your mom, and your daughter. God bless you all!

Jennifer,
thank you so much,you mean so much to me.You are
younger than my daughter she is 29.I love her so much and I hate to see her going thru this.
I went to church and I had a feeling maybe I should call her but I thought I will only worry and I kept trying to forget it and not worry I have a lot of anxiety over her migraines because I know they scare her any thing that scares you has power over you.Well her husband called me at church and I imediately started shaking he said she would not get dressed said she only wanted to stay in the bed she felt safe.he then said she was flipping out.I left and went out there and she was a mess you see one thing is she said she only had 1 imentrex left and when she has one it usally takes 2 to
stop it.I was afraid she would get another migraine.I talked to her for sometime she had went down last week at her church for prayer It is so hard to keep up the faith.satan will keep up the fight I finally got michelle calmed down I hope she will be able to go to work.she is supose to get some more medicine tomorrow.
Are you still working,it makes me feel better to stay busy.I admire you for your faith we are suppose to beleive God Christ has already paid the price for healing I was reading believe had a lot of good scriptures.
