Hello Prayer Family,
I feel down today (mostly uncertain) and feel the need for prayer in a big way...This is going to be one long, lonely weekend for me, I can tell already.
I've lost my job, I have a support hearing concerning my estranged husband on Wednesday and I am afraid to learn what lies and manipulations await for me at that hearing, and I am unsure about myself, my confidence and my worthiness concerning an unspoken request.
I feel ( too bad we just can't stop our feelings, right?
) like everything in my life is uncertain and out of control right now. I also feel lonely since most of my social circle involved my co-workers. And I feel lonely for a companion, a person that loves me and helps me grow in mind, body and spirit. A person that shares my beliefs and a person that I can trust with my heart....
I'm feeling sad about the fact that my marriage is at it's end. I feel like a failure. I don't really have a home and since I devoted my life to my family I have not built a career for myself also--and all of these feelings contribute to my loneliness. I don't feel as if I really have anything to offer a partner right now and feel unworthy of that sort of loving companionship.
I pray that I am able to use this "down-time" this weekend productively. I ask in prayer that I stay focused on some tasks that are meaningful and help get me ready for future personal growth. I want to focus on prayer, finding a place of inner peace, catching up on my reading, cathching up on my writing, working on my resume, registering for all of the job search sites available and working out my mind, body and spirit. I want to enjoy spending time with myself. I also want to spend some time just relaxing in the sun and walking my dog.
Father, grant me insight as I contemplate which steps I need to take in my life at this point to achieve the type of life that You have planned for me, that I am worthy of as one of Your children. Help me to stay focused on the positives in my situation and to not be influences by negative thoughts, ideas or people---guide me to avoid bad influences.
I know Father, that this situation is just a temporary stop on my way to a better future. I know that better things, situations and people are coming into my life soon---and LOVE..... I will experience the love that I seek with a male companion that will help me grow in ways that I never thought possible and I will do the same for him---I know that You are grooming me for this situation as I spend this time in loneliness. This time is temporary, this is not forever---it is meant to be a period of growth and self discovery.
I know that by the end of the month, I will look back on this time and wonder why I felt such confusion and doubt. I KNOW You are with me, Father. That even right now, as I am coming from what I perceive as a place of "lack" that You will meet all of my needs....I KNOW deep down that I am getting excatly what I NEED right now in this situation, although it is not what I WANT to experience. You are a loving Father and You teach us what we need to learn when we need to learn it---that is what we NEED.
Thank You Father for all that You do for me.........
