People who are hurting don't need someone with a spirit of pride trying to fix them; they need acceptance, love, andprayer.
pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. - James 5;16 message
God help me to ber humble and shine your reflection, as gol is refined we are being refinded in to shine in your image. thank you for your tender mercy, and your constent forgivness. You promised you would give us strength to indure all this world can do to us, thank you for this program, and for this website, that we caon lift each other up and help with our insigth you have given us, through our tirals. God Bless us evry one.

Cheri, Thanks for all your good comments and Bible verses. This last one about pride is hitting me smack between the eyes. My daughter was here and came to pick up her bottle of wine after work. There was hardly any left. She gulped down the rest then she said, "It doesn't matter, I have more at home." This is so bothering me and her Dad because she's really gaining weight and doesn't seem to care. She's going to work in real estate with a company here in town so we were going to list our house with her. We like the company she's joining. She said she doesn't want to go thru what she did last time. We can't very well list with someone else. I guess the real problem is I don't know how to pray for her. Why am I at a loss more for my own kids than strangers? I love my daughter and was glad to see her. She rarely stops here and I guess I felt hurt when it seemed she mainly stopped for her wine.

The attitude of faith will cause you to live one day at a time, enjoying each one.
[for we walk by faith, not by sight.] - Corinthians 5;7 kjv

God it is hard to have faith each moment, and know that everything that happens is either from God or will be used by God to make every thing work out for the good of those who love Him. My mom is so upset about my nice who just got married in Aug, to a boot Marine, he hit her, and she still stayes with him. Mom gets "Tick Dellarue" it is a nerve cramp in her jaw that litterlay locks her jaw she can hardly talk as it is so painfull, for her to open her mouth. she wants to blame the dentist, and one thing after another, but the fact is she gets this when something in the family is hurting her so deeply her body spasims. She gets acupunctured and that relieves it, My daughter is back out there now with here, and is trying to help her see it is a type of panic attack. There is nothing she can do to change her grand daughters choice marrying this marine, he hit her before they were married, he had a black eye at the wedding she hit him, it is a marriage made in heaven as the say "like lightning and thunder" Mom lets it affect her, and her health suffers from it all. She likes the serinity prayer, God hlep me accept the things I can not change and change the things I can, and know the diffrence between them.
Barb G's daughter is making choices that is hurting her mother too.

God it is so hard to change ourselves, we can't do it with out Your Help. please help us to change our selves and decern what we can do for those we love, and can not change. We hold them up and pray for You Highest Good on their behalf. help us to be less affecterd so we can be more effective! Awmen.

The Word is Powerful; Pray with Word. Nothing gets God's attention any quicker, It is Hes Word that carries the power of the Holy Spirit. For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sward, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judbes the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. - Hebrews 4;12 NIV
then by his stripes you are healed, we must recieve his gift of sacrifice from him, and believe we have his power in us. thank you Jesus. Awmen. God Bless you all in the new year!! 8^) Cheri

Thank you so much Cheri. You are such a great help many times. I don't know what my problem is but since coming back here and seeing what I wrote about my daughter I'm wondering if I have a control problem. Last night I went to bed upset with my son, before this it was my husband. How can I constantly be upset with someone in my family. I can't change them. I'm having a hard time changing myself. Funny you said pray the word. I have Stormie Omaritian's books on just that. Can't find the one on "Power of a Praying Wife". This morning used the one on Praying Parent. I also have the one on praise downstairs that I use while exercising. I must confess lately I haven't felt much like praying. I feel like all I do is complain and God must get so sick of it. Once on this site someone called me a whiny Christian. I think it must be true. How do I change? Thanks for your help.

cfe, Thanks so much. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas. One of the things that I wanted to share with everyone is that we are soo blessed even with our difficulties. It give us the chance to come to Our Lord like the smallest of children. Humility isn't optional for us! No matter how hard I fight it, it really is a huge joy. Anyway, I have begun the program with a ton of hope and happiness.
I am praying for all of you!

I am new to the program and can't guarantee a time right now because my schedule is a bit crazy right now but I will join in as much as I can. Count on my prayers today. God bless.

I found you in my email, and am very glad you have joined. Welcome, I am not sure why you are not on the site on my machine, perhaps it has to do with the blizard, the electricity was coming and going this affternoon. any way would not want to leave you out, your name is in my book. God Bless

I like how fleurlisieux said it! Humility isn't optional for us and our difficulties do cause us to come to the Lord like samll children, believeing with all that we have that HE will never leave us or forsake us. I am on my 6 week and prayer has been just as vital to me as this program if not more! I think the two go hand in hand. I am thankful for everyone who is praying and I will be praying as well for all of you!

Good books to read Battlefield of the Mind Joyce Meyers and Get out of that Pit by Beth Moore.

God Bless you all!

How do I change?

I think I have said befor, forgive me for repeating; we can't change by our selves, we need the Holly Spirit to "finnish the work He has begune in us" and the word prommises He will. we need to "Seek First the Kindom of God" Ritiousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holly Gost" I believe the ritiousness, is the part that is our problem it is a free gift from the cross by his stripes we are healead and ritious is freely given to us under his blood. \
We feel so guily we can't change saten uses our guilt to condem us, and we are not condemed we are bought with a price, the blood of Jesus! We have to know who we are, we are so precious God sacraficed his Son for us, that is a price about all else!
You know as a mother you would die for your son, How could God sacrifice His son for us that is a love worth having, and proves we are valuable, just as we are. Accept God's love and his help, and we can change, and others change aroud us too that is the surprise I got after realizing Who I am! and walking in the light of His Love. seeking Him first that is a key!
Good Bless your walk Barb G.

Ivyheart; Thank You

My flesh is a little down today, and I posted this morning with the idea that I would let it go, I seem to be nearly the only one posting a prayer, it is good for me, to do that and I hope for others too.
to day I feel rejected, and I am praying for all those feeling rejected, like you mentioned, Ivyheart's post is so true, with truble we would not give God a thought, and we would not have compation for others, God knew that Jesus suffered every emotional felling we do, and over come it, We are called to be overcomers, and if we don't have any thing to overcome we will not gain the strength we need to help others.
Thank you for edifying me today I realy need it! Thank you for helping me see that I have value, and God can use me to help others along their path to healing. God Bless you again today.
8^) Cheri
