I NEED PRAYERS

I HAVE BEEN "MIA" ON THIS BOARD FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE REASON IS BECAUSE EVERYTIME I CAME IT WAS NEVER ACTIVE. LOTS OF TIMES IT WAS ONLY RANDALL POSTING. I WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK TO TRY TO GET THE BOARD MORE ACTIVE BUT IT JUST WASN'T HAPPENING. I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE CHECKED IN THIS MORNING TO SEE THE BOARD SO ACTIVE AND PEOPLE POSTING ON A REGULAR BASIS. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY, SATAN IS ATTACKING US BIG TIME. MY SON'S HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS TOGETHER FOR YEARS, IT TURNED OUT TO BE VERY SUCCESSFULL. THEY STARTED A ROOFING COMPANY YEARS AGO, ONE IS PRESIDENT AND THE OTHER VICE PRESIDANT. ITS SUCESSFULL BECAUSE THEY KEPT CHRIST IN HIS PROPER PLACE IN THE BUSINESS AND WE TRY TO KEEP CHRIST THE CENTER OF OUR HOMES. I WON'T GO INTO DETAILS, BUT MY SON'S FELL OUT, ONE IS FORCING THE OTHER TO BUY HIM OUT. I AM SO DOWN HEARTED AND THE HOLIDAYS WON'T BE THE SAME BECAUSE WE WON'T ALL BE TOGETHER. I AS A MOM AM CRUSHED TO SEE THIS HAPPENING TO MY FAMILY AS WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO CLOSE. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED, IT HAS BEEN BUILDING UP THE PAST FEW YEARS. PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL RESTORE MY SON'S RELATIONSHIP. I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW I AM HURTING RIGHT NOW, I WILL BE OK BECAUSE I KNOW GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL, BUT RIGHT NOW, AT THIS MOMENT, I'M CRUSHED. I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT>>>> I THANK GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GRACE AND LOVE AND MERCY. AND I KNOW IF THERE WERE NO VALLEY'S WE WOULDN'T ENJOY THE MOUNTAIN TOPS. ANY FEED BACK WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. HUGS, AND GOD BLESS, TRUDY

Trudy, It is painfully heartbreaking to see our children being cruel to each other, or just simply arguing. I always hated the terrible teen years, to hear their voices saying nasty things back & forth. But as adults we are even more cunning and prideful. We won't even think about humbling ourselves, until we are broken. I always told my kids, two things that are irrevocable(family & salvation). When all is said and done in this sinful crazy world, it's Christ and family we NEED. I will pray on my knees for you today....that our wonderful Father will send the Holy Spirit to convict their hearts, have them turn from this sin, mend the tear in the relationship and make it even stronger. God is a family man, (I don't use that casually, honest), but he wants unity and harmony in the home of his children. Love you Trudy, thanx for sharing and asking for our input. Sally

I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU WHAT YOUR WORDS MEAN TO ME. THEY MADE ME WEEP UNASHAMEDLY BEFORE THE LORD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS I SO APPRECIATE AND NEED THEM. LOVE YOU TO MY SISTER IN CHRIST. HUGS, TRUDY

Trudy, Welcome back!!!!! I can relate to what you are going through. Our family has been going through a lot for that last few years too..similar to what you are sharing. I look at it as God wanting to purify us! All the junk that HE has seen through out the years, when to us everything was fine....He wants cleaned up. Where I find comfort is knowing that, as long as we are praying and believing and doing spiritual warfare over the enemy...then we WILL WIN...no matter what it "looks" like now!!!! Just hang in there and know that we are praying for you too!!!! God is able and the devil can not do anything that God won't allow!!!! Just continue to believe, have faith....God is at work in His children and He will accomplish what He started out to do!!!! God bless you!!! Cindy

WE (CHRISTIANS) WILL COME THRU THESE TRIALS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE STRONGER. GOD BLESS YOU TO HON. HUGS AND PRAYERS TRUDY

Hi Trudy. Welcome back to the board. I just read everyone's posts, and I am joining all of you in prayer for Trudy and her family. Lord, you know the needs or your children. Please heal this break in their family. Mend it and make the family stronger, through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen. God bless and keep you, Trudy. Peg

Trudy, I am praying for you and your family. God will pull you through this time. And even though we know God is in control, it's so healthy to share your pain and get it out on this board so that we all can do what was commanded...pray!!! Thanks for sharing with us. Cynthia

Welcome BACK! I also want to echo Pegs prayer. Peg you have a Spiritual gift of prayer and encouragement!! Trudy, I know a mama's heart is so big for her family. My children are young, but I love them with a passionate love. And when things go awry the tendency is to try to fix it. Don't you forget that's not your job. You just get your knee pads out and PRAY!! We'll join you and we'll all watch and see what God has planned. I pray it will be WONDERFUL! Interceding with you sister~

*hugs* and prayers for you and your family..

And welcome back to this board. We need to keep this board going. LEt us know how things work out. We have VICTORY sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
