Please Pray for me

1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting. 1:2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 1:3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 1:4 And let patience have `its' perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. 1:5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 1:8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.


   I am trying. God knows I am trying. And I have to realize sometimes the answer is no, or not right now. I will not let this situation corrupt my faith in God. He gives and He takes away. But He sees the road blocks we cant see. He has a plan more perfect than my human mind can imagine. And everything works out for the glory of God. My prayer is this, that I will be wise. And that I will be brave, and calm. That I will love the people involved, even if right now I do not like them. Because it says in the bible that "If I have faith that can move mountians but have not love I am nothing."


Please pray for my family. Pray for my neice. And even though it sounds ridiculous and melodramatic please pray for my sanity. Pray for me. I dont test well...this is one I cannot afford to fail. And I feel I am being tested. Satan is trying. I wont let him win.

Sometimes the best way to gain strength is to get on your knees. When my life was the toughest and I felt I was loosing my mind, and probably was, I got on my knees and asked for help. And I got it. Now I am stronger than ever. But the biggest thing I ever got out of this is the humility that I feel when I know that if not for the grace of God, who knows where I would be. God is very easy to get along with and very willing to help us and give us what we need. All he asks for is faith and love in him. When you feel that you are confused or weak, then go to your quiet place, even if it is only in your head when you close your eyes. If you reach out to God, he will lift you up.
