I have one more request.

I am about to make a decision in my life that some people in my family may not like. I really want to do it and this move will help me move forward in my career and give me the opportunity to continue my education in the field I want to pratice. Please pray that I can have the strength that everything will work out for the best and that I am making the right decision. Thanks and I will continue to pray for you.

I'm moving by myself for the first time, and I am scared of the following things: bills not being paid on time, being broke, losing my job, and being lonely. Yall pray for me. I've always had a roommate.

Hey All

My boyfriend left last week for London where he will be working for at least the next five weeks. Please pray for me. I'm lonely. Also, please pray for his safe return and our happy reunion.

May God place within you the spirit of completeness and fulfillment. May He allow you to know that with Him failure does not exist! I felt the same way when my husband and I stepped out of my parents house with only me working a full-time job and I am hear to tell you that the devil is a liar, we have never had a bill unpaid or utility turned off. God has always provided. We went through unemployment twice and without a bill unpaid. Hallelujah. Praises be to God. Girl step out on faith and God will do the rest.

Amen.

All happened and/or happening to me right now. I'm soooo sad. Mastercard people keep calling me every other day asking me for more money. I'm basically a broke grad school student working 20 hrs/wk. My bills severly outdue my monthly income. I'm about to not pay a lot of them in October, it's just so sad But I know for sure I'm paying my electric, phone and car note if nothing else. It's just you try so hard to make payments on time every month, and then if you mess up one time, your credit goes haywire. The key, well for me, is to just be appreciative of the things that you have and try not to worry too much about the negative. Don't worry about paying your bills on time, just do it. Don't worry about losing your job until you get laid off/fired. I will pray for both you and Marie.

This may give someone comfort. I know it helped me earlier this week when I received it in an email. I have it taped to my monitor, so I can read and reread it throughout the day!

I REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED

I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
And here's the reason why...

I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me,
And I am on His team.

He is all-wise and powerful,
Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same,

My God knows all that's happening;
Beginning to the end,
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.

When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.

When circumstances threaten
To rob me from my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my strivings cease.

And when my heart melts within me,
And weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.

The great "I AM" is with me,
My life is in His hand,
The "Son of God" is my hope,
It's in His strength I stand.

I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God
He has promised to be with me,
As through this life I trod.

I'm looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God,
I'm resting in His love.

I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on His face;
The battle's His, the victory's mine;
He'll help me win the race.
