Group praying?

[sick&tired]

Just want to tell you all I'm thinking of you & praying for the group tonight. I thank God for my online prayer partners!

[Barb G.]

Good, sick& tired, and everyone else: I appreciate your prayers and need them again for my mother. I don't get her. She is the most impossible person I know. She got mad at me AGAIN today, called her husband to pick her up and started walking home in the heat cuz she didn't reach him. Had us all worried. Anyhow our relationship needs so....much prayer.
Also tomorrow the crew that built this home in the factory is coming. He called for directions and is in town now from Indiana to WI (where we are) to correct the problems. Pray it's corrected and my husband and I can start rejoicing and no more complaining. God, help us!

[Barb G.]

Cheri, I didn't realize what you were all going thru. Sometimes I miss things. You've been such an encourager to me and many. I don't always read the Joyce Meyer quotes but just did not and it encouraged me. Joyce is a very good encourager. I just got her book "How to Succeed at Being Yourself" which is excellent.

Thank you Sick&tired;
Dear Barb G. We all have our mountins to concour, Dealing with insecure people is the #1 problem I have as well. I am reading the book Stop Walking on Eggshells" I have read about 4 chapeters, and it talkes aobut all the symptoms of Borderline Personality Dissorder but so far not much about how to deal with them. My X sone in law is a clasic case, I had to put it down it was making me miss the boys to much perhpase I will pick it up again, in a few days, but for now I am hveing a fibromialgia relaps, I just hurt all over today.

Tonight I am drawn to Louise Hay's book "You can heal your life"; Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite - well of Love- I now allow this Love to flow to the surface -. It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied. The more Love I use and give, the more I have to give, fhe supply is endless. The use of love makes ME FEEL GOOD, it is an expression of my inner joy. I love myself therefore, I take loving care of my body. I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages, I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly responds to me with vibrant helath and energy. I love myself therefore , I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that fils al my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it. I love myself therefore, I work at a job that I truly enjoy doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working with and for people that I love and that love me. and earning a good income. I love myself therefore. I behave and think in a loving way to all people for I know that ,that which I give out rturns to me multiplied. I only attract loving people in my world for they are a mirror of what I am. I love myself therefore, I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences and I am free. I love myself therefore, I love totaly in the now, esperiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bringt, and joyous, and secure for I am a beloved child of.....( God and He) lovingly takes care of me now and forever more. And so it is, (in Jesus' precious name awmen).
Louise has so much wisdom, but she is't a straight forward as I like to be, so I did change the end of this affer,atopm(). This affermation is beutiful and simple, as it addresses how important it is to love and accept ourselves. because of who we are. God wants us to love ourselves to such an extent that we can love everyone else, if we judge, and critiaize ourselves, we will do likewise to your neighbor, so we "must love our neighbor as we love ourselves" obviously God doesn't want us judging, and critizising us or our neighbor that is not a gift of the spirit.

So tonight affter a 12 hour day shoping in town, I am exhosted, and hurting, but I did today for my friend. she was glad I took her, our lists together just takes so long. Well. I need to go to bed. and dream of better days ahead.

All I can say is, "WOW" what a mighty God we serve. I'll write you soon. XOXO

My mother-in-law has been put on seroquel since being in the nursing home. She's now having chest pains. someone on chat gave me the website for this drug. This is what it said "Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis (having lost touch w/reality due to confusion and memory loss) treated with this type of med. are at an increased risk of death. Seroquel is not approved for treating these patients." She has fast progressing dementia. Please pray for Phyllis and we can speak to a Dr. TODAY! TY

Live in Peace, By Joyce Meyer
It is absolutely impossible to worry and live in peace at the same time.
<span class="ev_code_RED">Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4;6-7 KJV</span>

<span class="ev_code_RED">The name of the LOrd is my strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe. - Proverbs 18;10 NKJV</span>
I was reminded today how thoes of us in this forum, don't think of ourselves as ritious, many of us think of ourselves as unworthy. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ, his blod, saves us from our sins, just as the lambs blod on the door posts of the Isrealites in Egipt were protected from the destroyer, when the first born were killed in every house in Egipt that Faitfull night, that shook the Faro to the ground and he let the people of God go! we are the people of God, and God has made a way to free us from our sins. when we clame the name of Jesus, we are washed clean by his blod in the eyes of God we are ritious, and we can come to the throne of God boldly, with our petions. I am reminded of when my kids were young, and they would come to me all the time "Mommy can I have (what ever)" and if was good for them they could have what ever they asked of me. God is just like that! He doesn't want us to sit in the corner of our lives and wish we had the things we need. He wants us to come to Him and ask. As a mother I learned over the years that it didn't matter what perles of wisdom I spoke to my children, no one listend to me, untill they asked me how to do it. We are the same way, God sends us pastures, we go to church and if we don't sleep through it we only 1/2 listen few could take an exit pole as to what the man said. There are radio and TV stations talking about God all day long, but untill we need something, we are not listening. God is the perfect parent, yet the 2 kids he had fell for the 1 pear who pressured, them to disobay Him.

Bottom line Life is hard Parenting is Hard, but God is Good, and He has made a way for us to return to Him, not through perfection, but through FAITH in JESUS, may we all put ourselves in God's place and look at the movie of our lives with the compassion of a Loveing Father, and accept His forgiveness, and forgive ourselves. in Jesus Precous Name. Amen

Christ's Ambassadors by Joyce Meyer
We need a different attitude toward ourselves and others , We need to be acting like royal ambassadors , like divine diplomats :p, by drawing others to receive the Lord's wonderful gift of forgiveness and reconcillation:, and to shre in His marvelous grace , His unmerited favor :p.
<span class="ev_code_RED">So we are Christ's ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ's personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine fravor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God. - 2 Corinthians 5;20 AMP</span>

I sacrificed this day for a friend, for the past 4 years every time I go to her place and help her serve a meal I get sick because she serves it in an old airplane hanger, and the roof leakes and it is full of mold. I so dreaded going up there but I put it in God's hands. I prayed, I would not get sick, and I am not. I didn't even smell any mold, I spent 4 hours in that hanger, and the door was shut, as it was only 50* today, but I am not sick. Praise the lord, I can go amung the enemys of my body and live, I can go in the name of Jesus, and not get sick. I am so greatfull to God for his protection today. I love my friend, and I hate to say no to her, but the last 3 times I have, and this time I just could not. and God has honored my sacrifice, my self'control, and I am greatfull, I am healing, and I have such hope for being healthy again. thank you God, I pray we all are healing in Jesus' name. amen

Thank you for your wisdom, cfe. I've been awake from a horrible nightmare and just read the verse about "Ask and it will be given to you. . .". You gave the perfect example of children not being receptive toward learning until they need something and ask. God doesn't push himself on us, does He? I've been neglecting asking because I'm afraid he gets tired of my disobedience and doesn't hear anymore. But, He's a parent, and we respond when our children are in trouble. I want to be more like Christ and become an example of what He can do in our lives. I'm tired of living in fear, with Satan robbing me of joy, when I could be living more abundantly. I praise God for the cloud of witnesses around to help us on our way.

Believe! by Joyce Meyer
God told Joshua that he would succeed, not because of anything he had in the natural, but because He was with him. Moses was successful only because God was with him. God told Joshua that the same thing would be true for him if he believed. God kept telling Jushua to be strong and confident, to take courage and not be afraid. In other words, He kept telling him to believe!
<span class="ev_code_RED">.....As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forseke you. Be strong (confident) and of good courage. - Jushua 2;5,6 AMP</span>

I think God kept telling them because they had to go through so many things, Moses stuttered and God wanted him to talk to the Pharo, and Jushua, had to concur the promised land, 40 years after he got voted down on doing that in the first place. I am so sure if I had to cross the Jorden River, at flood stage, I would need a word from God to make the first step.

I just read a joke about President Bush seeing Moses in an airport but Moses would not talk to him, finaly Bush sent a security officer over to get Moses to talk to him. The guy asked Moses, why he would't talk to President Bush. "because the last time I talked to a bush, I spent 40 years wondering around the wilderness, leading my people to the only land in the Middle East with no oil under it". I have wondered my self if any of them would do it again. You know how in the first place you didn't want to, then you did it, Would you do it again. Like marrying your spouse, it takes some sole searching and a negative/positive list. these things.

May we always see the positives out number the negatives, in our lives when it comes to following the Lord's leadings. in Jesus Name, Amen
