Yesterday was a wake up call. I drove by my Ex's house last night after the super bowl and of course I saw his current girlfriend's car in the driveway. I could not sleep. I had prayed for GOD to send me the man he chose for me and I believe in my heart my Ex was it. My Ex was not a Christian when I met him. I told him how important GOD was and that any man that I would be with had to be Christian, in church and GOD fearing. He became all of that and then some. He was everything I prayed for my entire life. I met him when I was ###. Now to me. I am one to always say, you cannot do bad things and expect good things to happen. I have tried to live right my entire life. Well, I started doing bad things, I started gambling. This is on my mind and heart heavy. GOD does not like ugly and I was doing ugly. Gambling is one thing, but, when you are lying, cheating and stealing to support your habit, that is not good. I never told my Ex but, I since with the break up, he knew something wasn't right. We have been broken up almost a year. We talked about getting back together but he changed his mind and decided to stay with his current girlfriend. Well, I do not blame him. I am not living right. I lost my way. I know gambling is an addiction and a coping mechanism. It started the year we started dating and got out of control ever since. My brother got critically injured by a drunk driver and I miscarried the same year. Instead of me dealing with it, I found an outlet, Gambling. Now here I am single and alone because of my wrong doings. I do not like how we broke up I cannot change that. I wish he handled things differently. I feel like last night GOD spoke to me and said, see that home, I have that to you and you blew it. Today is day 1, no more gambling.
 
Lord, we thank you that you for the blessings that you have given us. Help us to honor you in every part of our lives. We place this request at your throne. Please hear and reply according to your perfect will and timing. Grant us the peace to know that you are in control. In Jesus Name. Amen.
 
Mat 18:19-20:Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. Lord Jesus, according to Your word, You are here with us and you hear our prayers. Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Luke 18:27 Jesus replied,
 
FATHER IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST!!! HELP THIS PERSON TO KNOW THAT; JUST BECAUSE WE THINK SOMEONE IS GOOD FOR US, DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS YOUR WILL FOR OUR LIFE. YES GOD WILL ALLOW US TO MAKE THE MESS, WE THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE PART IN, BUT THIS IS NOT HIS WAY. THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US; THAT GOD'S WAYS ARE NOT OURS (NOT ONE IN THE SAME) OUR FIRST LOVE MUST BE THE "LORD" AND HE STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER!!! EVEN WHEN WE ARE WRONG, TO BRING CORRECTION! NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US!!! THERE IS A NEED FOR YOU TO DRAW CLOSER TO THE LORD, IN YOUR DAILY WORD AND PRAYER. (IF NEEDED SEEK COUNSEL) YOU REALLY HAVE NEED TO STAY CLEAR OF YOUR EX'S HOUSE SO YOU DON'T BE MISUNDERSTOOD (LIKE YOUR STALKING HIM). THIS IS CALLING GIVING NO PLACE TO THE DEVIL! (SO HE DOESN'T MAKE ANY ROOM FOR YOU). THIS IS A "LET GO" AND "LET GOD" MATTER. A VERY GOOD TIME TO BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER!!! GIVE THE PROBLEM TO HIM AND DON'T HELP HIM FIX IT. (YOUR HELP IS NOT MUCH, PRAY AND READING GOD'S WORD DAILY)! HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS FOR US, OUR BEGINNING AND OUR END. GOD BLESS.....
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
