Pray for me please

Hi brothers and sisters in Jesus,

I’m humbly asking that all of you remember me in prayer. I’m at a crossroads where the next couple of days will determine the next footsteps I take. I’m overwhelmed and exhausted and I’m having a hard time compared to my baseline. My dog is also sick and was given charcoal and is doing better but he’s not out of the woods yet. I don’t think things have got this bad before, but God is still on the throne.

This might be an odd request for me to ask you all to specifically pray for, but I desire to find someone I can pray with in person. It’s been a long time since I’ve prayed with someone in person and hopefully if it ever happens again it’s with someone who actually loves the Lord and not someone who loves themselves and their ego.

I’ve been so hungry for God. I worship Him in nature and I pray and read His Word. It’s always like I can see the light but there’s always one little barrier I can’t see. I feel like I’m Elijah a lot of days with telling the Lord this is enough. I know God’s heart that He is good and He is a Shepherd to His sheep, but I’m running empty with the words though You slay me I will praise You. Hopefully the Lord will grant some mercy soon because there’s only so much these frail bones can take.

God continues to strip away who I am piece by piece, but I know all things work together for those who love God. I know even if things continue to get worst as they have that God is still good and every tear I cry and every day that I struggle gives me joy knowing I’m one day closer to being with my Savior.

It’s just hard and hopefully I get some relief. Hopefully all of us get some relief because I know it’s been a hard year for everyone around.

Lord Jesus have mercy upon me a sinner.

What else is there to say outside of that? I guess I should go now, thank all of you who have, will, or plan on praying for me. If you need prayers my messages are open and I intercede for this community daily because I know the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy but Jesus comes to give us life and life more abundantly.

God is always working ✝️

This passage is from Proverbs 3:15 and it was really an impactful experience when I ran across this picture.

I was in Montana last year on a vacation and spiritual retreat. I went inside of this local thrift shop and when I came across this, I teared up a bit. It really impacted me and I know God’s hand was behind it.

A little backstory without getting too detailed. I came out of an abusive marriage. It took me a long time to realize our marriage wasn’t normal and just because he was the spiritual leader did not give him the justification to hurt and abuse me. He kicked me out of our home because I was so depressed and wanted to end my suffering. He begged me to come back after doing this and exhibited classic lovebombing techniques promising to change and magically opening his eyes to all the horrible things he did. I already went back once before and his change was 1.5 weeks and it got worst. Before I was made to leave, things were escalating to physical violence as I had a hand over my mouth to silence me during an argument.

During this lovebombing phase I was working doing housekeeping and he sent flowers to my workplace and a card with the passage from Proverbs 3:15. Eventually I got to the point of telling him not to contact me while I prayed for his repentance because I didn’t want him to hurt me anymore. He decided to file for the divorce on “inreconcilable differences” so you could say God worked that out. Really though, God just allowed Satan to move in his heart and just created more evidences that he’s a nonbeliever.

What really moved me spiritually and emotionally is the phasing of this passage. “She knew” because it took a long time for me to realize I did not deserve what was done to me. I realized in that moment how much God has healed me from believing I was just a demon-possessed Jezebel that could never be delivered to knowing how much my Father loves me and how much He can keep me from the evil one.

I’m still healing. I still struggle with flashbacks with things that were done to me. My nightmares finally stopped, thank Jesus. I know the Lord is working on me, and I know He is healing my heart. I still pray for the man who hurt me, and it hurts I pray alone. I just know God works in ways we cannot fathom and I know one day he will feel the pain he caused me. I will not utter his name anymore, because I want the world to know who healed me instead of who destroyed me.

Greater is He that lives within me than he who is in the world.

I am starting a series of 5 studies based on the bible verses used in the YouTube video accessible in the image or link shown. This very encouraging video reminds us that when all is lost in the midst of dying, perseverance of our will to live is everything, And by clinging to Jesus, we eventually recover and thrive.

Be blessed watching the video and feel free to share your thoughts, praise God!
