Friends,

Please pray for my situation esp. right now and the rest of the day...that the right will be seen and followed.

Thank you.

Prayed here, naturalgirl...

Thank you, denim&lace.

An update...God is so good! His comfort is so real when you follow His will. The situation will still remain a mystery, but know that the Lord has answered your prayers so strongly that I can only praise Him from the deepest of my heart. I have given Him my all, but even that seems so small compared to what He is doing for me now.

Thank you,

Please remember the family of Rev. Tim McCary from Phoenix, AZ.  He shot and killed himself this morning.  The last year or so has seen a significant crisis of faith in this man.  Sadly, it ended in tragedy.  He has a wife and 3 children. 
He was our pastor several years ago, and my husband loved and respected him very much. 
There is so much sadness and confusion right now surrounding his family, his church and people all across the states who loved and honored him. 

[BJ_BOBBI_JO]

May the Lord have mercy on that pastors family. Suicides are extremly hard for the friends and family to handle. Very hard. The emotional torment for the friends and family stays so very long. I will pray for them. I still hurt over my brother in law who killed himself last November and I wasnt even real close to him. Just the thought of someone doing that to themselves is so tragic. I urge others to pray for that pastors family as well.

ScotsHelper--- I will pray for you. I can honestly say I am praying with understanding in my heart. Sometimes I think I cant go on anymore with my husband out of state working for 2-3 weeks at a time and home only 2 days and then gone again. I sometimes want to give up, yell, scream, plead and beg. I know your situation is different but still the issues of us being forced to be separted from our husbands due to their jobs is the same and I know how painful and hard it it.

Praying for the others request as well.

[AndysJess]

Please keep Sis. McCary especially in your prayers.  My uncle, a pastor in the same district, told me last night that she is about out of her mind.  I guess she found her husband and is doing very badly.  This is a precious, Godly woman whom I love very much.  I am grieving for her so much.
Also, there is so much confusion among the saints.  Please pray for truth and understanding for those who might, and probably will question God during such a time.  Please continuously lift this situation up before God.  I'm afraid of what ugliness might take place.  So many people are grieving, and grief can cause people to lash out...even, maybe especially in the Body of Christ.

[ScottsHelper]

Thank you,  Naturalgirl and Bobbi Joe for praying.  It does feel like an emotional roller coaster...sometimes I'm so happy that we are able to do so well in spite of his being gone, and other times, even within the same day or even hour I'm so sad that we have to be separated. 

One thing is for sure, taking focus off your circumstances and praising Him works wonders.  I totally understand the phrase a "sacrifice of praise", for when you feel your worst and yet choose to praise Him anyways, it can take incredible effort and focus.  Yet the peace He has brought me, in times that I have done so, is so refreshing!

I'm praying for the McCary family, and visit here often to lift up the prayer requests mentioned here.

 

[naturalgirl]

Please pray...I am facing great oposition against what I know to be the Lord's will for me right now. I am clinging to Him, but my heart still hurts from darts from people I care about. 

God is good though. ALL the time. Even in this dark time I can say this with absolute certanty. He loves and cares for those who seek His face. I am praising Him right along with you, scott's helper!

~naturalgirl

[ScottsHelper]

Amen, Naturalgirl!  Hang in there ...yes, He is good ALL the time, and we are in Him!   Stand strong in Him!

Good morning Friends!

I would really appreciate your prayers especially today and all this week for my DH.  He is in a very stressful situation at work and has a meeting today to try and start the ball rolling to remedy a very bad decision made by upper management.

Friday might be a day of major(up to 40%) layoffs. DH would like to be among this number. The company is sooo messed up. 

Please pray:
If it is God's will for DH to be laid off, He will show us the next step.

 If the Lord wants him to stay put,that DH would be content in every situation.

Thank you!

Leat

[Mrs. B]

Praying for you guys....

[Leat]

DH just called from work to tell me that they got a memo talking about major layoffs this Friday. It doesn't come right out and say who,but he thinks it is pretty clear he will be part of it.  Of course we won't know until Friday.  He will either come home right away or his regular time.

I'm struggling with how I feel about it. He wants out and feels it would be a great thing. So on one hand I hope he is.  Then I think about our income. But realize God will continue to provide,and this is a way to draw us individually and as a family closer to HIM.

Thank you for your continued prayers for us.

Leat

[naturalgirl]

I am so bubbling over with praise right now. I can only thank my God for loving me so, and granting my wish for a happy ending to today. I thought it would be a very stressful one between me and some people as I did/ stood for what I believed was right. Instead, it turned out wonderful and I feel so free inside. Here is what I feel like right now:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


Anyways, I know, with all my heart, that my Father loves me, and longs to care for me, and will do so.   ...in spite of my juniorness in Him, lol   He is truely all I desire,and His way, my wish, no matter what. May He be praised!

[Leat]

Update to let you know that DH is still employed.  I have put myself on an emotional roller coaster and have come to the realization that it does no good!  I have been meditating on Proverbs 3:5-6 and finding myself  leaning on my own understanding and not trusting God.  HE loves DH more than I do and I just need to back off and LET HIM LEAD and follow joyfully the path he has chosen for our family.

Thank you for your prayers this week!

I would appreciate prayer for my dh and I.... we are both just so very, very tired!   We've had a long haul of small things going wrong, had houseguests for over a month now, and we feel like strangers to each other.

The children's schedule has been crazy too - ballet exams, so double rehearsals, a drama production, extra music lessons.... and my 17yo son has knee surgery scheduled for Monday. I am SOOOO tired of running everyone around and trying to keep things turning over at home too.  I've started getting forgetful, brain-fog, and weepy

I just need some supernatural strength to get me through this next week... then our schedule starts to normalise again.

thanks!

[ridgerunner]

Need prayer for wisdom in some interactions with family please... Thanks.

[Cherika Four Seasons]

Ok,
i want to ask prayer for my middle sister. I think I posted on 7xs a while ago that my family was being threatened by a very bad person,    and now, sometime with
in the next few months, my sister is most likely going to have to testify in court about this situation. She has an intellectual disability, and is very frightened - I'm not sure that she'll even go through with it. So I'm asking that people pray for wisdom for the cops regarding this, as well as peace and clear words for my sis if she does testify, and a just sentence for this man.

Also, this sis has for years been messing around with what she calls "white magic". Recently though, she has been reading the bible, and has expressed a desire to come (back?) to God.  So I guess prayer there too would be really good, as well as wisdom for me to know what to pray and what to say to her when she asks questions. And for my BIL, who is trying to decide whether or not she can come over to our house when he's not home (she has displayed voilence towards my other sis and nephew in the past). He doesn't want to make her depressed by saying she can't come, but is worried that she might flare up or something. So our family would appreciate prayer for wisdom for him too.

ok, sorry that was so long!

Hi horsemama,

For confidentuality reasons I need to be vague.

I do not personally know those involved but know their friend who is deeply grieving with them right now. It involves adultry, being caught in it and then committing suicide because of it.

The shock of finding out ones spouse has been cheating and then the death all in 1 day would be horrible. Pray for all involved. They are all Christians too.

[khix]

Praying, BJ!

[naturalgirl]

Ouch. That must be tough. Praying...

Oh, how sad!     I'll keep this in my prayers.

[ridgerunner]

I'd like to ask for prayer for God's intervention in my sister's heart - regarding things that I can't safely give details on.    She told me some things a few days ago that she's planning to do that were seriously disturbing, and I'm not sure if she was frustrated and saying them for shock value, or serious.  I pray to God that she was not serious because if she was her actions will have devastating affects on her, her husband, and their 1 year old daughter.  She is under severe stress right now, her husband had an accident at work and has been declared partially disabled, she's working 3 jobs to support the family, and their daughter's legs are crippled and need surgery.  She can walk, but her legs are growing more twisted all the time.  She's such a sweet baby and seeing her precious daughter suffering is really messing with her mind.  She's looking for an outlet, someone to blame.  Please pray with me that God will get ahold of her heart and soon! 

[denim&lace]

Wow, there's so many new and heart wrenching requests...    

Praying.

[Joyfulmomto9]

Praying....

[ridgerunner]

Thanks for your prayers.  There are gang/racist symbols and messages spraypainted on the side of our garage, but doesn't appear to be any other damage yet.  The scariest part is that there were a couple of other places that got the same thing, and it's all the white families on this street in a 2 block area that got hit, so it kind of looks like we were deliberately targeted for our race.

The people who are doing this need Jesus.  My first prayer is that God will give DH and I the strength and knowledge we need to keep our child safe, but I'm also praying that something will cause the people who did this to come to know Jesus.  If that would happen, we'd be safe and they would be too.

Thank you to all who prayed, we are closing on a new house this afternoon and moving this weekend!   

We have not been tagged again by the gang since we repainted over all of their messages, they have come back in the night a few times but didn't do anything but stand in the street and point at our home and talk... it appears that God prevented them from doing anything. I don't know why else they'd keep coming back at night unless they had planned to do something and were deterred.   

As I said in this quote, we recently moved to a new town to get away from gang violence in our old one.  Now we've encountered a new problem - a pervert next door!    Over the weekend our nextdoor neighbor went out of his house and exposed himself to the neighbors (husband and wife) on the other side of him who were out in their backyard.  They called the cops and came down to warn us about it because they know we have a little girl that plays outside a lot.  This guy has always given me the creeps and last time my husband was gone on military duty he came over and asked me to come over and help him get his garage door down.  I refused (nicely), but even having him on my doorstep really gave me the creeps.  My husband is leaving again on Saturday for 7 days of military duty, so please pray for protection for my DD and me.  Thanks

PRAISE!  The pervert next door moved out! 

[denim&lace]

Yea! Ridgerunner! 

[andiclare]

PRAISE!  The pervert next door moved out! 

That's excellent news. Thank you, Lord!

[khix]

We just found out yesterday that a niece (on dh's side) has died in a car accident.  Her common-law husband also died in the wreck.  (they leave behind a 2-year-old daughter, I believe).  Also, an other older man (apparently our niece's stepdad...we didn't know him) who was driving also died.  An 18-yr-old boy driving a truck ran a red light at a high rate of speed & t-boned (& totaled!) the car they were in, and they were all killed.  The teen will be charged with 3 counts of manslaughter.  Please pray for all involved.  Pray for my dh, as he is really feeling down about this.  On top of the feelings of sadness for his niece's death, he's also struggling with anger about his family only contacting him/each other in times of tragedy.   So, anyway, please pray for everyone involved & pray for my dh.  And pray that I will be a source of comfort/understanding for my dh, and not a source of stress (as in, not nag him to "talk about it", and not feed his anger by complaining about his family, stuff like that).   Thanks.

[SC lady]

Praying here, Khix 

There has also been a death in our extended family. The circumstances are vague, but it is possibly a case of elder abuse. The other person involved has a history of this. Results from the autopsy are forthcoming. The funeral is today and . . . it's all just tragically, needlessly sad. Pray for those grieving.

SC lady
