  1. Dear Friends,
    The truth is always the hardest pill to swollow. It is always the balance of our emotions that is the hot zones of life! Not getting too high and certainly not getting too low. In my 27 years of walking with Jesus and learning how abide in trusting His way, His plans for me individually, and His Lordship is a worthy challenge…daily ?

    Helpful Practical steps?

    1. Be filled with His Holy Spirit daily ;( Eph. 5:18) , this is fundamentally a command and a necessity for each of us to Thrive.

    2. Jesus said to pick up your cross daily and follow Him. That’s a choice! Do that friend. By that I mean dying to yourself, your plans, your goals, your dreams… handing them over to Jesus….why? Because ideally , God wants to give to you, to bless you, and wants your barns filled. He wants to bless you richly… just not by your way or mine, or in your time frame or mine. Paul the apostle reminds us this truth… He that began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it ( Philippians 1:6). Lean not to your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your steps ( Proverbs 3:5).

    3. Find the next right thing to do and then do it! Jesus again said in John 15 , “ I am the vine and you are the branches apart from me you can do nothing. Abide in me and allow me to abide in you and we will bare much fruit!

    4. Press into Jesus and pull away from your troubles! Your troubles might just be wrapped up in your emotions. Draw near to me Jesus said and I will draw near to you. That’s critical in stormy seasons if your life!

    Just applying those 4 simple action steps alone will turn not only your day around…. but possibly your life!

    After all…. this has to be better then wallering around in the the mud with pi’s named depression, doubt, defeat, and discouragement.

    Remember, all troubles, problems, and seasons are designed to grow us personally in our faith to be like Jesus. They strengthen our faith muscle. Muscles only get stronger when they are pushed and stretched….

    That might be one reason your tired. Relax! Don’t react! Abide.

    Until we reach perfection in Christ!
    Bobby

  2. Ella, I have taken the long road in getting a glimpse of God and learning, understanding how He wants us to Live in this life. I can tell you that PRAYER IS THE ANSWER! I will tell you it’s not easy and it’s not quick. But it does work. The lord says…be anxious for nothing, but through everything and with Thanksgiving make your concerns know to him AND he will help you. Again, he says…pray for your Enemies and LOVE those that OPPOSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM….Your bible is your Answer key. Find a word for your son and your circumstances and stand on it (Meditate on it DAY AND NIGHT). And wait, Patiently; expecting God to move on behalf of you AND your sons deliverance and healing. THE LORD THY GOD PROMISES TO PROVIDE FOR ALL OF MY NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN HEAVEN. THE LORD IS ABLE. ELLA, GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR SON. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. BUT GOD WILL SHOW UP FOR YOU BOTH. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY

  3. I just feel zo frustrated. I am living with my 31 year old son…because I cannot aff o rd right now to have my own appartment. He is alcoholic and I tried so hard to help him but I had to learn that I can’t help him. I am so done with him!!! He let’s his anger and frustration out on me and it’s been 5 years now that I prayed for him every day.What am I doing wrong that I don’t get any answers to my prayers….I am so so unhappy and just want to leave but where am I gonna go? I don’t have any relatives here…and no family around me.Please pray for me that God in His grace and mercy would let me see a light….please also pray for my son Gary . He needs healing…unfortunately he also lost his faith…dont know anymore where to begin or what to do….I AM SO TIRED and I need lot’s of prayer please….May God Bless you

  4. Happy Greetings to all who are suffering just like me !!! I sincerely wish no one has to suffer in this temporary life !!! In The Holy Bible Jesus tells us we will have suffering in this life because we live in a “fallen world” as it was perfect before sin entered the world !!! Always remember this Life/Earth is NOT our permanent Home, Please get Saved so you can live Eternally with Jesus when the Rapture takes place !!! Repent and ask Jesus for forgiveness of your sins and believe the shedding of the blood ofJesus paid for our Salvation!!!
    Many People need to “ Walk fifteen steps in another persons life and experience the pain and hopefully that will change the attitude toward people who are suffering!!! I pray every night for everyone who is suffering in any kind of situation!!! This Earth would be so wonderful if it has Good Samaritans !!! I’m not boasting in any way but I have always wanted to be a Philanthropist like the late Mr. & Mrs. Fuller E. (Alice Hand) Callaway and their foundation still helps today many years after their passing !!! They had money but they were so kind and down to Earth and being rich to them meant giving money away, a simple life lead by caring and sharing !!!

    with you (not that I really would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject which has been discussed for
    many years. Great stuff, just great!

  8. I like this internet site because so much utile stuff on here :D.

  9. I am now not positive where you are getting your info, but great topic.
    I must spend some time finding out much more or working out
    more. Thanks for excellent info I used to be looking for this
    information for my mission.

  10. What’s up to every body, it’s my first go to see of this web site;
    this weblog carries awesome and really good data in support
    of visitors.

  11. Moran, when you reject God you are rejecting help. Your are rejecting peace. You are rejecting life itself. You’ve allowed the enemy to take over your mind and thoughts. We all have had awful things happen to us. At one point or another our family, job, finances have been really bad. It all looked hopeless. The difference is for me anyway is I reached out to God. I asked him for help and he helped me if you turn your back on God he can’t help you. He sees that you need help but he cannot help you because you’ve not invited him into your situation. I know you’re struggling, I know you’ve had a rough life. It seems like God is not been there for you at all. He helps everybody rose but not you. The truth is, he’s been there all along. All you have to do is to believe and trust him and ask for his help. He will help you. It’s easy to want to die that’s what the enemy wants you to do and then he can have you and you’ll be list for all eternity. If you give God a chance your life, He will change it. You life will be filled with peace, you will be filled with love. Even if you still struggle and go through the things you’re going through, it won’t seem as hard. You’ll have somebody with you that loves you and wants to help you. Give him a chance just open your mouth and say God I need your help have mercy on me he’ll be there. Isn’t it at least worth a try. Don’t give up… He hasn’t given up on you.

    1. My husband has been sick for some time. He is giving up and just wants to be with the Lord, our kids and myself need him and need him to reach for Christ and not giveup.

  12. Don’t give up. God hears and he knows what you need. God will supply All your needs. It seems like it’s never going to happen but it will in HIS time. In the meantime focus on God. He will give you peace as you go through this time in. your life. Trust God to do the rest. It will require you to totally let go and not worry. If you worry then you’re not trusting. He will give you the strength to do this.

  13. I’m tired …. I feel like giving up but I know I can’t give up because God has bought me to far to give up ….. it’s very hard though….I can’t let this weaken my spirit and my soul but I’m so tired that’s why I have to keep praying and trusting God ….. because I know by faith that he is an almighty powerful God and he will come right on time …. all I want is Peace,Comfort,Stability and a Good Man in my life and to be able to do for myself and my grandchildren….. I’m not gonna give Satan is a lie and I rebuke him in the name of Jesus!!!!

  14. I am weary, feeling the sense of hoplessness. I really think I’m losing my mind, literally. There has been an onslaught of negative things happening. Health, relationships, etc. The enemy is hard at work and I feel it. Please pray that I will feel the Father of this Universe. He can overcome Satan for me. Pray that I would hear the voice of Jesus instead of Satan. I need help. Too much to bear. Oh God, please intervene in this situation. I need you.

  15. 29. Jobless. Hopeless. Going nowhere in life. Struggling with depression and anxiety since i was a teenager. Broken home. Tired of living. Rejected by father. mistreated by relatives who i did nothing to. Hated. Hurt by people in ways i cant describe.Emotional and physical abuse when i was young. In campus.Tired. So tired. Hurt. In so much pain. Loser. Exhausted. My soul is broken. Cant be comforted. Cant be encouraged. Got nothing to say to God. Praying for death. Not because i want to die. Its my only way out. So tired. So very tired.

    1. So sorry for your pain. Death is not the answer. Cry out to God. He hears those who call on Him in truth. If you are able, can you read through some Psalms. David often felt like it sounds you do and much of it is recorded in Psalms. Chapters 6, 30, 31 and 119 are particularly good. Praying for you. Keep fighting the fight.

  16. 29.Hopeless. Jobless. depression and anxiety since i was a teenager. Broken home. Tired. Waiting to die. So tired. Loser. Going nowhere in life. Will run away from home soon. Got nothing to say to God. Rejected by father. Mistreated, abused and hurt by many when i did nothing to them since i was young. So hurt. So much pain. Only death remains. So tired of living. Hate myself. No hope. No faith left.born again. Once believed.tired. tired of lifr

    1. Keep on holding to the Lord. He is embracing you tightly. He does not want you to give up. HAVE FAITH UNTO THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST.

  17. Hey Granma, Yes, I agree in Jesus’ name with your prayer for him finding peace\ realization that he is loved. I intercede in behalf of you\ your grandson, I lift him up on the alter and ask our heavenly Father (Abba Father), please send Your Holy Spirit to break through the deepest hardnesses of this young man’s heart, softening his heart that he might be open and receptive to the All True Living Word of CHRIST JESUS. May this Granma’s heart be replenished and healed that she may be a living sacrifice that you might use to work through to touch and help transform her grandson as well as others. Father, I ask for the gift of Your saving Grace upon Gramma\grandson, in JESUS’S name I pray, Amen.

    P.S. DON’T EVER STOP PRAYING, NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION\CIRCUMSTANCES LOOK LIKE… 2 THESSALONIANS 3:13 – NEVER GROW WEARY IN DOING WHAT IS RIGHT ??????

    1. I am Truly thankful for the sons and daughters of CHRIST… Yes, I have been feeling Really drained for quite some time.

I thank the LORD for this site ‘HOPE-FAITH-PRAYER’, May the LORD BLESS continue to bless All of you, make HIS face to shine upon you, to grant you unending joy and peace to your souls whatever May come, in JESUS’S name ????☺☝?

      I know. I pray for you. No matter how tired or how you feel, keep putting the word of God into your heart. It works in the deep places of your heart, where you cannot feel. It will begin to grow and give you hope. That hope will start to motivate you and you will start to not ‘feel’ so tired. Hear me, everything in you will scream, “Don’t do it, it is a waste of time.” Don’t listen to it. Do it and don’t stop until you are strong and blessed. We love you. Rex

  18. Wow. Satan know how to attack when we are at our weakest. I am a 68 year old widow who has raised two sets of kids. My own two sons and a daughter. Plus I have raised 4 of my 5 grandchildren. God has been very good to me through all of this. I have one grandson now 25 that just don’t seem to want to grow up and face responsibilities. He continued to get into relationships that are going no where and leads to abustive situations. I pray. I talk to him. Just can’t figure out why he thinks so little of himself. Well grAndma has finally gotten tired. He’s always been rejected by both parents. Maybe this is why he keeps putting himself into these situations? He’s never suffered for material things, raised in church. Pray for him and pray that I can gain strength to let him go and find his way because he’s wearing me out.

      Shirl – I don’t pray for him. I pray for you. Learn to help people but don’t enable them to continue in their sin without consequence. God does not do that. Mercy is reserved for those who realize and repent. I speak refreshment and strength to you in Jesus Name. We sure love you. Rex

  19. Chandra, you have many many questions the only thing you can do is read the Bible and maybe get some help studies that will explain things to you one thing that helped me immensely was a free booklet from lcg.org how to pray… titled 12 keys to answered prayer the best thing about everything from them is that it is all free they never call you they never contact you no one comes to your house this helped immensely you have nothing to lose but trying

  20. Even though the scriptures given are related to the very situation at hand, as I read them, I realize that reading them has also helped me too. God bless those who seek him and know him, love him and yes, he is the answer.

  21. Hi Chandra, I came across your comment and just want to let you know that God is ALWAYS with you. He is near and close to you. I sensed your struggle, your pain. Exodus 14:14, the verse says “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Indeed, God will guide you through this season. I made a short prayer for you too, be still and God Bless.

  22. May God show favor in all of your situations. You know He is mighty for pulling down strongholds. We serve a God of “yes & amen” In Jesus name I declare a wonderful job for you. In Jesus name, we take authority of the spirit of lies & replace it with Gods spirit of joy. Keep your head up & start to thank God for all the good things He is working out for you and your family.
    God bless & keep you.

  23. I am broken! I am going through all emotions from hopelessness, depression, anxiety, feeling alone, heartbroken, stressed out, and no way out. I have been through so much in my life from divorce, losing custody of my oldest two kids who are now 21 & 23 they were 2&4 at that time, I was homeless no where to go and no one to help. I had myself alone so I pulled it together and got a education and 3 years later found my husband and we have a beautiful 17 year old son and married for 18 years. We have had our ups and downs for the past 9 years I love him with all of my soul and I feel like we have gotten so far off gods path that there is a wrong turn sign at every cross way. My 21 year old has a IDD disability and got in trouble when he was 11 and put in a State School. I went every weekend to see him and stood beside him through everything while working 60 to 80 hours at my job, raising his brother, helping my daughter through her high school year’s even though she lived with my mom. Then at 17 years of age the State School felt that it was time to let him try to be rehabilitated and put in a group home or he could be put with a family member to reintroduce him to the community as they put it. Well I spoke to his dad my mom and other family they all said put him in a group home well being that he was my son I could not allow that, so I jumped through hoops with the State to get DFPS certified as a Foster home and quit my job on faith opened my own business redoing furniture so he would have a job when he got home because that was something we did when he came for home visits, not knowing that he would have HCS services that would pay me to be home with him and help him through the transition and would continue indefinite as long as he was in my home. He stole from my business, which was detrimental, he was not doing it because he needed anything it was the state facility that had made this his mentality, learned behaviors. So I shut the business down spent time teaching, training, and coaching him on what was acceptable in society. We lived in the country so there was not a lot of socialization with people and no mischief, so I thought OK let’s move into the city, I felt as though I had him retrained and he would do OK. Well it started out good for 6 months then I noticed things missing he was selling my things to the pawn shop around the corner. I allowed him a little freedom to ride his bike for a reward for his behavior. Well so we moved right outside city limits to a community that was gated. I would get up during the night and he would be gone he was 20 and I really couldn’t tell him he couldn’t go anywhere because he was his own guardian. Well when he turned 21 he decided that he didn’t want to follow my rules no drinking but when he was at his dads he allowed it. I spoke to his dad and voiced my concerns but yet him and his wife were telling him he could just live with them . So at the first of March he went for a visit to his dads and was to be home that Monday. I called him to find out where I needed to meet them and he informed me I could not make him do anything, cursed me lied to his HCS PROVIDER who disbursed my foster care payments and told them my husband had threatened him and he felt unsafe in my home and that he had not been in my home in a month so now I owed 600. for overpayment. So here I am dumb founded by all the lies and financial set backs bills still coming in my husband and I are on the verge of eviction, losing our vehicles, we have the 17 year old to worry about, my daughter is going through a divorce& fighting for custody of my grandson, I had a mental breakdown and had to be put in a BHC for a week and I thought I was getting better but I have put 60-70 resumes in and two interviews and still no job my husband is working and I can’t bother him with any of the issues I am having he is hardly keeping our heads above the water. I pray and pray but I am not sure if there is any light at the end of this tunnel. I am asking for him to cover me in his blood and pull me up before I sink deeper into depression and end up losing my mind. I love you lord and I know you love us please send guidance and redemption. I am faithful and trusting you are just taking me in deep waters because my enemies can’t swim. Oh Lord I trust yo.

    1. God Bless you and your family Chandra. May the blood of Jesus cover you like an armour and may God give you the peace & strength you need to overcome this in Jesus Name, Amen.

    2. Chandra, it’s time for you to enjoy your life.
      Start that business again and just know that GOD has your baby.
      You are above water, now swim.
