crying Just a simple prayer request from you for me. Seems like the Devil is attacking me in every way possible and I just cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know God is with me and is going to help me get through this, but right now, I just can't see it and I know that is the Devil making me fell that way. I feel like just laying down and not ever getting up again. Just giving up on life and everything. If it wasn't for the love of God and Jesus, I probably would have already. So pray that God gives me the strength to keep going. Thank you so much!!!!

I would love to pray for you!
We all have very dry, weak, and upsetting times like these, and not one of them is easy. They're meant to make us stronger in our faith & devotion to God. Your assurance of the Lord's presence in your life is encouraging to me, actually! I used to be very sure that the Lord would get me through tough times, but somewhere along the way, I've lost some of trust in God. (Now, it's kind of like a roller coaster with my emotions that impact how much I lean on God, which is so so SO terrible of me to do. But hey, everybody has their own problems to sort out. :] )
It is very easy not to focus on how much He loves & cares for us. And even though we are unable to comprehend the levels God's love for us, simply thinking on that will revitalize your spirit. It will put you at peace because you know that through whatever trial you face or temptation you give into, His love will never, ever cease to exist for you.
Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
My advice for you is to pray continually. Personally, I find that whenever I pray for others, it brings me so much joy to be praying blessings on them that my own spirit is blessed. I promise that for at least this next week, I will pray for you, no matter how I may be feeling. I believe wholeheartedly that God wants to do a great work within you, and show you that through the struggles we face, the Lord triumphs over all! Love you, my new friend! : D

narutorocks96, thank you so much. That was really uplifting for me and encouraging. You are right as well as I am in the same boat. My faith and trust in God has been a roller coaster when it comes to spending quality time with Him and doing my daily prayers. I seem to only pray when I need something and that is wrong. I should be doing it everyday and not just for needs, but for thanksgiving and for praying for others. So thank you so much for reminding me that prayers need to be done everyday so that we can become closer to God and received such a wonderful blessing when we take the time to pray and spend time with Him. Thank you so much and God bless you for all eternity!!!!! biggrin
