I am normally a very self sufficient, proud man. Things have happened lately to shake up my world. I am greatly in need of prayer. I thank you for reading this. I have three children by birth and two children through adoption. I have a wonderful wife of 25 years. I love the Lord, even when He asks hard things of me. I love to give and to help people. I hate to ask for help or to receive from people. I am very proud. I work in construction and that has been slow for awhile now. My wife was unemployed for about 5 months recently. She just got a new job thank you God. My 15 year old adopted son has severe hemophilia and aspergers. Thankfully the State pays for most all his medical care. He has recently been struggling in school and struggling with anger to the point where we have to take him to counseling. My 13 year old daughter struggles with abandonment issues and has threatened suicide at school. She also is in counseling. My wife and I are overwhelmed and feel afraid and inadequate to deal with all of this. We also are in counseling to help us through this time. We currently have to pay cash for all this counseling. The deck on our home is literally collapsing to the point where it cannot be walked on anymore. I was very upset and emotional at Church last Sunday trying to handle all these things under my own power. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the above verse and that there are many people in the world seeking to bless other people as the Lord leads them. My unwillingness to ask for help was denying them of the joy and blessing of participating in what God is doing. More importantly He owns everything and my overwhelming problems are easy for Him. If you are reading this and the Lord asks you to help my family, thank you. Thank you for your prayers. David.
