In Bondage?

[Judy D]

My husband & I have been married almost two years; we read scripture every day most of the time. Our prayer time is together only about 10 min. He can sing and also play piano/keyboard. However, he hasn't yet felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. My husband either won't or can't get into singing praises & worshiping God, even though he'll play along with a song on K-Love now and then. I've stressed that quoting scripture is much more effective than cussing and or throwing/kicking something, especially when angry, sad, worried, etc. My words seem to be falling on deaf ears.

Around the time we married, I heard that he was a con-artist and a fake. Unfortunately, I was informed that he was a fake recently, even though he has been sober for 3 months minus 1 day. If he wasn’t trying, he wouldn’t stay sober, read scripture, go to church, etc. He's not working because of a torn rotator cuff. We’re waiting for Medicade to pay for it. I'm on disability and can't hold a job (problems with memory). ### speaks very badly of anyone who has done him wrong. ### says he wants God's Will in his life, but the fruit he produces most doesn't show it. I definitely want to be on the path that Jesus wants for me, but feel that we aren't moving forward because my husband doesn't feel he has completely surrendered to Christ. If there's a force that's keeping him from being able to worship God or surrender, it needs to be broken. I pray often for this to take place, but I don't see it happening. Please pray that whatever is keeping him from moving forward with Christ be broken.

Child of God,

God’s Timing is Perfect. Yesterday I was in a Christian Book store and saw this sign:

Faith In God Includes Faith In God’s Timing!

As you and I have found out trusting God requires not only faith in God but faith in God’s timing. Faith in God to do what we can’t do in our own strength or see in the natural. These are our questions. God why? God when? God how? We don’t know how God is going to do it. We don’t know when God is going to do it. Sometimes we don’t even understand why we are going through what we are going through. But rest assured God is in control.

We must simply take God at His Word and believe He is going to work out all things for our good

(Romans 8:28). Because God Is. His Word Says So. So you and I don’t have to hope God is going to do it. We know God is going to do it. Because God Is! God is never late and He is seldom early. But He’s always on time. If He shows up at 11:59 He is still on time. You and I must wait on God and trust His perfect timing.

But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand.

Psalm 31: 14, 15a:

Let’s Pray: God I Thank You that You are my God and my life is in Your hand. Teach me to trust in You when I don’t understand why. Teach me to trust in You when I don’t see how or when You are going to come through for me. God Thank You. Thank You for every problem, every test, and every trial that I have experienced in my life. Because they have taught me, God You are in control of my life and You love me with Yours. The tests and trials were opportunities for me to witness Your faithfulness. You Are Faithful. You know what is best for me. Even when I don’t understand, I know You have my back. I know You have my best interest at heart. You have a plan. Give me the strength to wait on You and Your perfect timing. So that I don’t try to fix what I can’t fix or take matters in my own hands and mess things up. Or even worse abort Your plan for my life. Teach me how to wait on You in faith and continue to work and praise You while I am waiting. Teach me how to rely on You in confidence and help me to trust You and Your timing, Do this for me Lord Jesus, the person who sent me this e-mail, and for the one who wrote it. God I thank You that Your timing is perfect. And God one more thing: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. THANK YOU Lord Jesus! Thank You.

When You Think of Me…Pray For Me!
