| Re: Prayer Request | | Hi sister,
Will add mine as well. Something caught my attention this morning, perhaps it might be beneficial;
[i]For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus[/i],
Rom 15:4,5 (ESV)
Endurance and encouragement.

| Re: | | Thanks everyone. I had some chest pain yesterday that really scared me nothing to severe but that's still not good. It may have been nothing but I still have to be careful. I broke my ankle a couple of years ago and that set me back. I went jogging at the park yesterday and maybe I just over exerted myself. |

You need to pray for a new job or the stress will wreak havoc in your home, God will open a door, don't be afraid.
As Keith Daniel says, there are three main things that contribute to failure in the home...
1) Forsaking your quiet time with the Lord, even for ministry or other "good" things. 2) Tiredness 3) Stress

| Re: | | Well I know God allows things in our life. After reading Extreme Devotion this I am sure of. I also know when the heat gets turned up to pray more often and I know this is what I need to do more of in my situation with my work. I dont know if this is a widespread problem in the working world but it seems that greed, fear and insecurity is running rampant---longer hours and more productivity from managers.
Im on a very good diet right now and I am guarding my sleep. I will be working 10 hr. days starting at 4am. So I have to work out a game plan here with my kids, school and housework before I land myself in the hospital. All I ate today is a bowl of oatmeal, an apple and some carrots. :-P We just bought some minature bunnies so they are having an influence on me.
See I haven't lost my sense of humor. 8-) |

Be encouraged in the Lord -- and don't forget to get enough sleep too.

| Re: Praying as well | | Dear Rebecca,
I will most certainly be praying. It is good to see that you are already preparing a plan to deal with all your responsibilities.
Remember that our Lord wants us to be anxious for nothing, and pray about everything. Tell the Lord what you need, and thank Him for everything He has done. Then He promises to give you His peace, which is above anything we can understand, and it will guard your heart and mind. (Phillippians 4:6-7)
He knows and understands the stresses of daily life, and He does not want you to walk in stress.
Rest in Him and know that you are prayed for...
Blessings |
