I am dealing with my insecuritys this winter and "not feeling wanted" is an old one, I can't remember ever feeling wanted, as a child, and I avoid places wear I don't feel wanted today, My marriage, has felt that way for years, but with the new tooles I have from Lucindas program, and prayer that is turnning around for me. Life is much better now I know God wants me right wear he put me.

Thank you Barb G, It is nice to be needed.
Don N Jackie, traveling mercy for you two at your confrence, those are great things, they can boost your spirits so much.

"What ever God directs you to do, whether His direction comes in the form of an inner knowing in your heart or through reading His word, you must make the commitment to obey. Wherever God tells you to be commited, that's were you must be committed. Commitment is one of the keys to Victory. Joyce Meyer" 
'If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchul to do all HIs commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high obove all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you - Deuteronomy 28;1,2 amp

when ever you make a change in your life, it takes being commited, Have you chosen a New Years Resolution yet. This Year I am resolved, commited, determined to be happy every day to, smile all the time. to light up my space in the earth, with the glory of God, I have been feeling called to do that this year, and lately I have been realizing I am not accomplishing my goal for 2007. the enemy is working over time to keep me from my apointed task, at every turn, "higher level, bigger devel" J.M,
I am renewing my comitment tonight to be Happy. I shal not be moved by what I see or by what I hear, I will be content in all things, I am tired of being upset, if Happyness is a choice I choose a life of happyness.

I repent Oh Lord! I am so greatfull for your sacrifice for my rightiousness, and the Grace of God's plan to help me get keep trying to do it eventually. Forgive me God for murmering, Thank You for all your blessings, I have a good life, and I appreciate it. Help me to learn to enjoy every perfect precious moment in my life. I pray for all of us on this prayer group to be Happy, in all things.

God has a perfect plan for our lives, He is making everything that happens to us beutiful. I once heard a preacher speak about how, we cant recognize a good day! because we don't know what the future brings, and every day is building a brighter future for God's children. Abraham didn't reconize what a good day it was when he took his only son on that mountin to sacrafice him. but he could not see, Christ hanging on the cross to take his sons place. everything is necessary.
I am beginnng to understand that message more and more. To all of us Make It A Good Day! Awmen

I came on the forum tonight, and saw all the posts, I read 2 of them and negative thinking, sarcasem, ect, seems to be running in the Sprituality forum, just now. I have been stuck in sarcasem in my younger years, the 60's were sarcastic times, we all did it, and it was cool. Now I know it is sinful to waste our time and breath thinking of and saying negative, and pointless things. I do think that is how I got here, and positive thinking is how I am geting out, for sure!

"God has a good plan already laid out for each of us. but we will never enjoy it unless our mind is His thoughts and ideas about things. Renew Your Mind - Joyce Meyers"
Do not be confourmed to this world [this age], [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed( by the [enitre] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. - Romans 12;2 amp

It is a key to coming out of depression, and anxiety, be Positive, I read epa tonight quoting Thumper, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". W.W.J.D. he was so respectful, he spoke in parables so the pharacies wouldn't take offence,

If sarcasem is your normal self, God help you! I know it is hard to be sarcastic, for "Out of your mouth comes that wich is in your heart" I pray positive things in to all your hearts tonight, think on things that are beutiful, kind, and acceptable to God, peace, love, wisdom.

all those things that are comfortable, are not good for us. I once read an account that after the reserection of Lazerus Martha had a party, and the guests noticed that Lazerus wasn't there so they went looking for him and they found him back in the toumb trying to put on his grave clothes, he found the change uncomfortable, and wanted to go back to the way it was, even thought he was dead [miserable] in the old ways he missed the comfort of knowing how to act. and rising from the dead was uncomfortable, it is hard to be alive, and joyfull, to follow your personal path, God's way is narrow, and difficult, while the way of the world is wide, and easy to walk.

Come out of your grave clothes, and walk in the SON shine. Get used to being happy, joyfull, having fun, at no one elses expence. You will never regret it, because God's blessing is Life and life more Abundent. Awmen

Cheri, I know what you mean about the sarcasm of the '60's'. I used to pride myself about the sarcasm. Joyce Meyer also said she could rip someone to shreds with her mouth until the Lord really changed her. It creeps back sometimes and slips out so easily. Sometimes the little voice is warning but I go ahead anyway.

I'm thinking about when Jesus called the Pharisees snakes and brood of vipers. What was that? If not sarcasm, plain truth?? Would like your feedback or anyone elses and yes lets keep praying about the forums. We need positive feedback without sarcasm or backbiting.

Also a prayer request. Tomorrow my husband and I will get to see our precious Matthew who is now 3 years old and so much fun. Who is Matthew? He was a part of a kingdom assignment. What is a Kingdom assignment? At our church a woman asked 15 people to come up front and gave each of us $100 to find a way to further the kingdom. When we helped out this single mom we had no idea the lives we'd touch. Mostly we've touched her son but thru this met the dad and his entire family. The mom we helped in many ways, I can't begin to write all because we got so many others involved. The mom has just turned out to be the biggest liar and trouble galore. Everything she said of everyone else is true of her. I will have to go to court the beginning of next month. I'm not as afraid of what I'll say as I am driving there. It's not real far but I'm not used to driving by myself. Anyway the Dad is Catholic but will come to our church tomorrow with Matthew for us to pray for them in our Sun.school class. Many people in this class have met Matthew and knew his mom. I'm not giving up on her but she's been a fake about having the Lord in her life and has wrecked almost every relationship she's had. I also found out she gives Matthew alcohol when he doesn't go to sleep. We don't see Matthew as much as we'd like so I ask for prayers that tomorrow can be very special with Matthew and even the little time with his Dad. I'm so grateful that God has worked the relationship with the grandparents and the Dad for good when everything with the mom turned out so bad. Thank you all.

God Bless you for helping that little boy, I will certinly pray for youtommarow! I know wat it is like to deal with lying, manipulators, like my son in law. He uses the boys for his Cross I'd Bear.

"Be angry but don't sin" a fine line, I know what you are saying about what Jesus called the pahariseys, but I don't think it was sarcasem. I will have to sleep on that one.

This I do konw; we will not see positive results in our daily lives if we constantly speak negative things.
A man's [moral self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth, and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil} - Proverbs 18;20 amp

Today, my husband put the ranch, and his cousin ahead of my needs once again. I wanted to through a fit, I wanted to be angry, but Prase God all I could come up with was how great it was that he thought of his cousin, someone beside himself, so it wasn't me this time, it is still better than it used to be. Anyway; now I trust God for my needs, I don't trust my husband to any more I know God has me on his mind all the time. Yes I cried in my room for a short time, and my eyes are welling a little now, but I know that I know, God is working on my behalf he is my Defender, and the Lifter of my head, He is for me and no one can stand against me, and prosper. I am groing and yes it is painful, but so much better now I know I am in God's plan right were I am, this is my place in the world and I will be happy right hear, no more day dreaming about beeing somewear else for me. I will be here untill God takes me out. I have been here 37 years this is more mine than his sisters, or any one elses. I am peacefull, about that for the first time. working on my heal spur, has drug up the old pain, of moving here and being treated like an aliean, clame jumper, by his family, and abandonded by my husband to his rodio's, hunting, and working the ranch. I believe he will do better at thinking of me and talking to me about his decissions. He loves me, he is just human, and a momas boy, her world revolved around him, she did all she could for him, so he could play and do just what ever he wanted to, after he got his chores done, all her life! to the point of trying to stand in for him with me, and our children. So he has some growing to do now that she is dead, and he is comming along slowly. He rememberd today that it was our daughters 36th birthday yesterday, and thought we should have called her. So I handed him the phone, and told him to call her I had talked to her this morning. He did@ he didn't have much to say, they have never had a conversation, he don'st know how to comunicate with me or his kids, his mom did that for him, too. I never had the tooles to make him grow up and take his place as my husband or their fater. So I blame myself too. but that is past, and now I am learning not to be a people pleaser, and to make him and others notice me, as a person, not some one to ignore and use. I have lost a friend, but she was the worst one to use me. other friends, have started to respect me more, as my husbund is too. Truly this was a good day! I am excited to see what tomarrow will bring.

I am up late because the heifers are calveing, and it is frezing out, so my husband is going out every cupple hours to check the heavies, and get them in the barn if they look like they are going to calve tonight, we can go to bed wen he gets in, I can't sleep with him out there, in the cold, with young heffiers, that could get him down in the show and ice in the pen. Our new hand will get up at 2;am to take the morning shift. with 2 on the ground already it is time to start watching even though they are not due to start untill the 20th. I am glad we only have 40 this year instead of the usual 85, this is a cold year. Prase God for our new hand and give him the wisdom to realy do what he sayes he can.

God Bless you all, and hurry the February thaw, bring back the son! Awmen

THE POWER IN PRAYER
BY Joyce Meyer; Prayer is not of the mouth; it is of the spirit, the spiritual mind, and the heart, And where there is sincere prayer, there is power!
...The earnest [hearfelt, continued] prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] - James 5;16 amp

there is power in this prayer group, and I am so greatfull for you all!. I was reading Lucinda's book today "From Panic to Power" it was talking about positive thinking, Wat IF Thinking in reverse, instead of thinking Wat IF I pass out, Think what IF I do it affraid, and i grow and God is proud of me, and I am prould of me, maybe even others are prowed of me, what if that happens instead of what if I make a foul of myself and we have to move, [I live in a fish bowl; wear every move you make every thing you say, is amplified and all over the county, by the time you get back to the house.. I am so greatfull for Lucinda stepping out to do this for all of us. To give us the tooles to get off the cycle of pain, we had built for ourselves. God Bless Bakedpears, and all those who make this possible to meat here and pary for each other. God Bless you all, Awmen

I would love to involved in this prayer group. Are we just praying in general for all of us with anxiety, depression? What time do I pray if I am in the central time zone?
