| Re: I need some prayers, please!
I have read through your string of prayer requests and your trials. How heartbreaking this must be for you. I am so glad that our God is in the heart mending business. He loves His children more than we could ever possibly love our own. God doesn't tell us that we will ever understand His ways but to trust them because His ways are best.
Suffering Precedes Liberation
1 Peter 5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, established and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.
Don't Get Discouraged
Psalm 42:5
Why are you cast down, O inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, my Help and My God.
The Force of Hope
Romans 4:18-20
[For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be.
He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah's [deadened womb].
No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promis of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God.
Expect to Receive! To Receive, Expect!
Isaiah 30:18
And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy , and His matchless, unbroken companionship].
Pray for your miracle-expecting that God wants to give it to you more than you desire it!
Blessings!  |
