Longing for peace and joy

[Anonymous]

I'm so tired of being plagued by depression and unhappiness. God's promises say that He desires peace and joy for us and I have not had any of either for almost two years. I love the Lord and I am thankful for all that He has done for me. Now, I need Him more than I ever have. Only He can make my life right again and free me from the bondage of uncertainty and fear. These have been such trying times for me and I have been asking myself what I have done to deserve such suffering. Even if it isn't merited, it has been heartbreaking and saddening for me and I have prayed without ceasing to my Father without an answer. I ask that those of you who believe in the power of prayer keep asking God for His mercy and grace, so that the multitudes of us who are suffering can begin to live our lives more abundantly. We can all agree that we all live lives of sin and are guilty as charged...but Jesus came among us to give us a way to forgiveness and to reunite us with God.  Oh Father, in Your Son's name, be merciful to us and work miracles in our lives with Your power. Free us from the bondage of pain and misery and let us be joyful once again. Let this year's holiday season bring joy and peace to a world of sin and corruption, if only for a little while. Send us signs, God, that Your power is changing things for the better and we are not all doomed. Pour out Your love upon us and make us whole again...bring us closer to You and teach us to love one another as You have loved us...make my own dream of freedom come true and restore unto me the joy of Your salvation. Oh God, please...let our hopes be not cast in vain.

The best way to change your circumstances around you and to have the people around you do some changing is found in this verse of the Bible, the Word.

Proverbs 4:20-23 (ASV) 
20  My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21  Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart.
22  For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.
23  Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

You, your flesh, your family will all be affected if "you" will make Jesus and God your main focus in life. Read the Word daily, especially the New Testament. Read it, memorize passages, speak passages aloud, mediate on the Words you have read. Sing praise songs, worship the Lord, And love others around you.  Love them like Jesus does and says to do. When you do these things the people around you, your family, shall change. Keep your focus on Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. 

In the name of Jesus, I bless you with the life of God

 

[Jesussaves89]

I prayed for this. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Dear one , please open your bible and read 1 Peter Ch 4 verses 12-19 and also Hebrews Ch 11 verse 1 . Being a Christian does not exclude us from trying times , but we have a Heavenly Father who is aware of what we are going through and  it may not seem like it to you at the moment , He does love and care for you . Now is the time to dig in our heels and keep praising and worshiping God no matter what . We WILL overcome ! Blessings !

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.
