Thank You for unanswered prayers

[HOPE]

Hello Friends,

My experience yesterday showed me that God does always know what is best for us...I prayed and prayed for the restoration of my family and my marriage for months and months to no avail. I sometimes felt as if God was not there for me....

Yesterday in court I saw my husband for the man he has become..the man he really is....he is a liar, he is a bully and a manipulator---this is not a game or "just the way he is" or "his way of dealing with stress"---he is an ABUSER, plain and simple. I'm not even sure that he understands the concept of "truth". Yet, for whatever reason, I loved him and put him first and myself and everything else always last. I am happy that my prayers for reconsciliation went unanswered.

I was very recently thinking about how I never seem to get sick any more---I haven't had as much as a cold in a very long time. Yet I used to feel sick all of the time when I was with my husband. I even suffered from chronic backpain. And yesterday, after coming face-to-face with him again for the first time in nine months, I immediately started getting sick....

Our Father's design for us is perfect...even when our minds and hearts refuse to accept the truth about current situations, our bodies will let us know that the problem is still there and we need to deal with it.....

I thank You Lord for this insight. From here on out, when I find myself feeling sick or depressed a lot, I am going to do some soul-searching to see what in my life needs to be removed or changed.

I look forward to the new love that will be lead into my life. I KNOW that my Father will bring me into a relationship that is full of love, joy and mutual respect.....A relationship with a man where I can grow in love and trust as I should...

Father,

I thank You for not granting requests that were not good for me as one of Your children. You know what is best for us; and when we feel that our prayers have been overlooked, we need to stay strong in Faith that You are always working on what will be best for us.....I thank You for "unanswered" prayers AMEN

Thank you for your post. It has made me think about some things in my life. I think about some of my unanswered prayers and how they were in my best interest after all. At the time I got mad with god, and thought he had thrown me away, but it was all for my good. and I thank him every day for it.

Father, I praise You for bringing these revelations into Hope's life. I thank You for the ways in which You are refining her, strengthening her, cherishing her. To You be all glory, for Your Word is true....amen."

Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose."

Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord...."

I also praise you for Hope and her attitude toward You! I don't mean to be corny but give her "Hope" for her future I pray dear God.

I have been mad at God, and told him. And, then felt such immense love comming from Him and for Him that I can not ever stay mad. : )

I know from my own life and my mother's life that God can make all things work for us.

Keep praying Hope. I pray for you too. bev

In Jesus name I pray.

AMEN

All I can do is fall down on my knees and

Cry, and cry holy, holy, holy

You are holy

When I'm on my face,

In my darkest night,

I cry for a way,

To Your shining light,

And Father Your grace,

Is greater than sin,

Shines down on me,

It heals me again.

All I can do is fall down on my knees and

Cry holy, holy, holy.

All I can do is fall down on my knees and

Cry holy, holy, holy.

You are holy.

You are holy.
