I need prayer...

Hey friends~ I am usually a strong, up-beat, happy person. But, for some reason I am in an incredible FUNK! I have absolutely NO energy. I have been neglecting my home and children and THAT is so very unlike me. I think part of it boils down to the fact that I just started missing my husband. But also, I have SUCH GUILT for missing him because in the scope of things 3 months is NOTHING, most military wives have had to go without their spouses for a year/18 months. But, my heart is super heavy and I am just withering. Again...I can't really think of a time in my life where I have felt this way. So, if you wouldn't mind interceding on my behalf I would be so grateful. *I'm crying just asking for your prayers* Much love to you all~ Becky

Hi Becky! I wish I could be there to wipe your tears - remember guilt comes from the enemy! Of course you miss your husband! From your previous posts and profile is is so obvious that you love him a great deal! God brought you two together and it is from a godly desire that you want to be with him. In an earlier post I said that I would be praying for everyone with the holidays coming. We tend to get down when we can't be with those we love and the holidays just add to it. You are precious and God loves you and knows the heaviness that you are feeling. Dear Lord, Please be with Becky during this time when she is feeling deperately sad. Be with her and her children and her husband during this time of separation from one another. And thank you, Lord, that Becky's husband is serving our country and making this huge sacrifice. Please give Becky the peace she needs right now Lord. Help her to feel your sweet, sweet love knowing that her husband will return soon and that their love will be stronger than ever before. Bless her Lord and help her to carry on her daily tasks, doing her work as unto you. In Jesus Name, Amen. I will continue to pray on. Love ya! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Becky, You are so sweet. Don't you feel guilty for one second for missing your husband. Mark 10:8 says "and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh" He is a part of you, of course you miss him. Our roll as a Christian wife is to be supportive and submissive to our husbands. No one said it would be easy. But here is the good part. You have a God living inside your heart that can fill any void you are feeling. The word of God: John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you Matt 28:20 I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen Psalms 34:18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord. John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Love, Dawn

Oh Becky!!! We are only a state away and I wish I were with you in your time of need. I know that you are hurting and missing him, but he will return safley to you very soon, and in the meantime, I hope we here can all give you that big hug that you so desperately need!! I pray that Ken is safe and comes back soon to you and your family, I pray that the kids are ok and are strong for you too. Mostly I pray that God lifts you up and makes you the very person you truly are once again!! You are a rock and and I pray that you feel that way again. Cry all you want to sweety, there is nothing wrong with shedding a few tears and you never know it may make you feel a little better. I love you Becky, and I hope you pull through with speed!! Anytime you want to talk you know where to find my friend. Que suenas con los angelitos Becky!!! In His Love, Steph

Becky, Your family is in my prayers. I spent last years holidays with my dh overseas. It doesn't matter the time gone, every day is no walk in the park without your other half around. I had those days too. I would be fine one minute and then just down right drained of all energy the next. I believe that it comes from being strong for our children and friends and families that are trying to get us through the seperation. After a time of that the bottom falls out for a time. You will feel better again in a few days. Email your hubby and try to have a girls night out or a fun family night that makes you laugh. Hey, I even purposely had a couple of chick-flick movie nights so that I had an excuse to just plain have a good cry. Then I would feel better. Of course all of that is coupled with prayer and extra bible study and worship time. Just remember to get out of the house and breathe! It really is okay to be in a funk. Just don't stay there too long. You are strong and the Lord is strong in you!! I pray for you husband. May the Lord keep him safe and sound and lift his spirits while he is away from his family. Oh, I just remembered...I loved listening to the song by Barlow Girl called Never Alone! It is awesome! Reminds me all the time that God is with me through everything, even if I don't feel him close, he is there. God bless you becky. Love, Robin Saxton

WOW...Sniffle, sniffle~ Thanks so much for your prayers. They were TRULY felt. I honestly haven't much experience with being depressed, but I am certain that Satan would like me to get there. By nature, I am just NOT down, so yesterday really threw me off! But, I can honestly say I FELT prayers. Again, I haven't had a lot of difficult times in my life, but for some reason yesterday was awful and it felt like it was only going to get worse. I REALLY, TRULY could FEEL your prayers. I believe in my heart that the Holy Spirit allowed me to feel them and my day just picked right up and today ANOTHER good day. WOW...I am humbled and blessed by your love and support. I NEEDED you all yesterday and WOW, did you come through?! You are AWESOME! And, I try to reserve that word for very special occasions. Blessings and much love~ Becky
