“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…
Lord, I just want to thank You for all of the blessings, and continued support You have given to me and my family in times of adversity. You are the most high God and we continue to marvel at your works. I ask You Lord Father to continue blessing and touching and healing our lives. Take us through with your wisdom and divine and absolute protection from the enemy. You say where two or more of us are gathered You live, I continue to ask You to free all of us from financial burden, touch us Lord that extra jobs…
Submitted By: Anonymous Prayer Request: Hi everyone, May the grace of the Lord be with you all. My prayer request is to get a spiritual breakthrough. I have felt dry and empty in my soul for a long time and now I would really love to gain my connection with God again. I also need prayers for me and my family to get back to our financial ground. We have been struggling for years and now its really getting worse and nothing seem to be working. I would really appreciate your prayers and may the almighty God bless you!
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…
Submitted By: Amy Mathiew Prayer Request: Hello sisters. May of this year I had a complete hystorectomy and my husband and I aren’t blessed with children. On the fifth day after my surgery I had an over welming feeling of complete loss and emptiness. I cried till I fell asleep. This happened every day for 5 days. I want a baby. I need to be a mother and have the love of a child. I know there are plenty of people who know how hurting this is. I will be 40 next year and the one thing I’ve prayed…
Some call it the “third eye,” or like to envision their conscience as a little green Jiminy Cricket on their shoulder telling them what they should do or say. As I entered into adulthood, I became guilty of trying to listen to myself and follow my own actions. I had failed miserably. My goals and relationships with others began to suffer as I tried to take control over every aspect, making matters worse. I began to fill my cup with regrets. Things I should have said or done differently that would have changed everything. After many disappointments, I would pray…
I can’t count the amount of emails we receive from people who say they “don’t know how to pray”. Some simply have doubts that God even hears their prayers. Although there’s no “official” way to pray, I decided to share a few pointers that have changed my life tremendously! Pray without Ceasing- Just because God doesn’t answer your prayer when you feel like He should, doesn’t mean He’s not listening. Continue to pray, Continue to trust and have faith that God will never forsake you. He hears you and He will answer you. -1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray for Others- Did…
Submitted By: Anonymous Prayer Request: Okay, my life is absolutely spiralling out of control. I know for the past few years I have lost touch with god and have almost become atheist, but I have wanted to become closer to god for a long time, but during the summer I became someone who Satan lived inside for a while. I was cussing a lot, I was throwing the finger, I was using god’s name in vain. But I tried to become closer to god, but I couldn’t go to church because of my busy schedule. But this year, I…
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. ~Matthew 6:33 Have you ever noticed how easy it is for us to put God on the back burner, yet everyone and everything else gets our undivided attention? We work Him in our schedule when we should be working our schedule around Him! Our Relationships, Families, Careers, and even material things become our main focus, yet we wonder why we have so many problems holding on to them. When I was married, If my husband didn’t feel like going to church, I…
“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 Dear Sister, I know you have a lot going on. Don’t sweat it. Somebody else has had it going on before too. As a matter of fact there is someone, somewhere in the same place that you are. Someone is waiting for a breakthrough, a miracle, a healing, an answer, a deliverance, a financial blessing, a husband, a prodigal to come home, etc. You are not alone! Isolation is a trick of Satan. It’s sent to make us…
Some people say when it rains, it pours. I agree, sometimes it seems as though everything hits all at once. When one thing breaks down, everything seems to break down. When you lose one person, everyone seems to disappear from your life. No matter how much you pray, things seem to go the opposite of what you’re praying. But I also believe that the rain is an indication that God is getting ready to pour down blessings from Heaven. Psalm 126:5 says “Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.” If you’re going through the storm right now, hold…
I usually don’t do this, but this was heavy on my heart. One of our readers left a prayer request last week which left me literally in tears. It read: im 57 yr old woman. from day 1 i have been treated bad. bukkied by kids, a mom that hated me. i married to get away and he beat me for 20+yrs. a guy finally comes along and rescues me. no wait! hes a mental abuser from hell. i have prayed all my life and God just hurts me worse. i prayed for a miracle on my way home from…
Jesus is my defense. If He does not defend me, it means that there are things in my life that are not to be defended, and it’s better to find out about them now rather than later. On the other hand, because I take the Lord as my defense, and He defends me, what can those who are against me do to me? – Joseph Prince Some things aren’t worth our time! The word says that he will perfect that which concerns us. So give it to Jesus, and it will all work out. Today, ask God to reveal whatever it…
Sometimes we have to go through things, to get us to focus on the things we should have been focusing on all along. If you’re looking for clarity on a situation today, ask God to reveal what it is that He wants you to focus on. It’s funny how you can meet someone only once, but yet that person will stay in your mind forever. I remember sitting in a Starbucks surfing the web as a young lady came and sat not too far from me. She continued to hold a conversation on her cell phone and I continued to…
