One day I was complaining to God about certain people. You know those people who don’t even know you personally, but somehow they feel they know enough about you to despise you. They do not have the right to judge you, but take it upon themselves to do so anyway. Then in the silence of my heart, I felt Jesus spoke to me, “Been there, child!” That’s right. I forgot that no less than the Son of God who came that we may have a full life received the meanest, cruelest treatment. He was stoned and not welcomed. Spitted on and not smiled at. Scourged,…
“Dear Praying Women, I’ve been thinking and worrying for about six months now. I’m in a relationship. We’ve been together for 1 year and 7 months. As far as I’m concerned, I’m happy and content with him. But one day my ex boyfriend texted me. I replied to him because I know that I’m over him already and we’re just friends. But then our texting brought us to meeting each other again and again and we became close to each other like we were before. I know it’s wrong. I tried to stop it, but I feel like there’s more behind…
Wherever you are, no matter what the weather may be like, it’s a beautiful day!!! Claim it! So here it goes! I FOUND OUT WEDNESDAY THAT WE ARE HAVING A LIL MAMA! AHHHHHH!!!! Instantly I became nervous because I have 2 sons. “What am I going to do with a girl,” I thought. Yes I actually said that! Almost every woman’s dream is to have a “lil mama”, but for whatever reason I begged to differ. I thought about the cards I was dealt in this life before coming to Christ. Although my life was not very hard-knock, I had…
Hebrews 13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. A few weeks ago, I called up a friend and asked if she wanted to go for a walk in the park to break the monotony of being in the house. Going to the park that day was a task in itself. What time should we meet? How long do we stay? What are we going to talk about?…
My ex and I have a young son together, but we broke up last year when he was only a month old. We were suppose to be working on things, but nothing was really changing. We were on okay terms and he came by and did things for my son often. Well he had began to talk to someone and had been telling me he wasn’t. I only found out because the girl started bothering me. I told my child’s father that if he talked to her it was ok and that he could be honest. He continued to lie…
I know my prayer request may seem small compared to other prayer requests but I am still hanging by a thread at the end of my rope. I have been a Christian for many years and have had a lot of prayers answered as well as have seen a few miracles in my life. Up to about a year and a half ago, it seems like God has turned his back on me and quit answering prayer. When I got hired at the company I’m with now, I went straight into customer service and after two years had had enough…
Prayer Request: I just accepted Christ into my life. I’ve been going through a lot of things and I’ve lived a life that I’m not so proud of. I need healing in the worst way. I want so badly to get my life together, and be the woman God intended for me to be. I’ve even taken a vow of celibacy. I’m scared because all of this is so new to me, and I don’t want to disappoint God or fall back into my old ways. I want the Christian Life for good. I’m only 23 years old, so that…
Prayer Request: I am asking for everyone’s prayers for my friend Amanda Chavez’s family (husband and 2 little angelic girls) and friends. Amanda was called to heaven on Feb 5,2013. She was 34years young and left behind her devoted husband who has been with her for 14 blessed years and her 2 loving daughters: Ashlyn & Alyson. She was always positive and a fighter (breast cancer) for her family until the end. I ask for your prayers to help give her husband strength and the tools he needs to guide his 2 little girls and understanding to overcome the days…
There is power in prayer that even the devil can’t stop.
I am in a lot of trouble. I’m in an abusive relationship. I’m so scared but I can’t just walk out as I have no other option. My fiance is all I have right now but he beats me up everytime we have financial problems. We have just had a baby who is 3 months and life is so hard because I haven’t even gotten my UIF for maternity leave. My fiance knows the bible very well, he has a side that really loves God but another which smokes dagga and gets out of control. He has taught me most…
My eyes tell me to give up because this battle can’t be won, but my heart says to hold on a little while longer, and my spirit says God is going to work it out.
“How precious are your thoughts about me, Lord. They outnumber the grains of sand.” Psalm 139:17 Sometimes life is as sweet as a rose, until you experience a prick from it’s thorn. The first shot of pain you feel develops initial thoughts and feelings that usually connects to our life experiences. Unfortunately, our first thoughts are not always positive and uplifting, especially if the thorn left a prominent wound. Developed thoughts could either provide a cloud of comfort or a cloud of dust. It is the dust that buries us alive, the negative way we view ourselves and the situation…
I’m asking for prayer because I have lost my ways in all form. I have allowed myself to be belittled due to a married man. I have allowed myself to become the other woman before, during, and after he married someone else. I hate myself for this. I want to pull myself from this bad situation but find myself so weak that I accept every lie he gives me. I can’t sleep. I close my eyes and I see all this man has done to cause me pain but yet I still allow him to come over when his schedule…
I am at my wits end. I know the Lord is in control, but sometimes I just feel like giving up.My financial situation just seems to get worse and worse no matter how much money I make. My husband has been unemployed for 3 years now. And there is so much on my shoulders that I feel I am going to break. I need the Lord to break through for me not only to deliver me from these debts, but to show us, especially my husband, how to apply Godly wisdom to our finances. I have such a vision…
I strongly believe God gives me the same homework in a different way, so that I can understand the process.
Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.~ Philippians 3:13 As this year comes to an end, I often stop and reminisce on all the blessings I’ve had. Not just this year, but in my lifetime. Sometimes we get so fixed on our current situation that we fail to praise God for all that He has already done. This year may not have been an easy one for you. You may have lost a lot of things in 2013. But if you’ll remain faithful, God will restore everything you’ve lost. You may have lost…
God works in mysterious ways. Lately, I have been wondering if this is what God wants me to do or if it’s just something that I chose to do on my own. I’ve been praying for answers and was seriously thinking about walking away from it. Tonight, I checked my Facebook messages (something I never do) and one particular message stood out. It read: “I really enjoy your Powerful Words of Wisdom “everytime”!… Thanks so much for sharing. Sometimes I just have to share some of it. Everyone needs this Spoken Word. I just stopped by to encourage you to…
Christmas is near and most of us are gearing up for a holiday spread or putting gifts under a tree. Today though, I want to ask you one question, what are you doing with the gifts God has given you for the world? Each of us was birthed for a purpose and we are literally God’s gifts to the world. We often focus on the outer wrapping, but today I want you to look inwards and ponder this question for a minute, “What am I supposed to do? I remember years ago when I shared an apartment with my friend…
Have you ever experienced something so hurtful, no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t possibly see anything good coming out of the situation? My mom died suddenly of a heartache. I felt as though God should have given me more time with her. I couldn’t understand how or why God would take the one person who meant everything to me. I won’t lie, I was wavering in Faith. I had my good days, I would tell myself. “Everyone must go someday. It was just her time” and I had my bad days, I was determined to blame all of…
