| My Wife and Doubt | | I saw the post about someone else having problems with his wife, I pray that Lord will intervene in that situation and would be a comfort to them.
I am asking prayer for two things, first my wife has a Baby due any time now. Also, just last week it seems that she broke her tailbone, which is extremely painful for her. If broken, it could be 4 months until it is healed. I don't want her to go through giving birth, while having this tailbone problem. She already cannot sleep, and is in constant pain from this tailbone. Believe me, it looks very painful.
Secondly, I am asking for something personally. Every now and again I get weird attacks from the enemy. They are completely random. I will be thinking of God, and such, perhaps praying, and then doubt will enter my mind out of no where. It changes my train of thought completely. I wish for this doubt to leave me. It's like I am completely fine with God, then I suddenly doubt his existence and such. Also, it would seem in these recent months I have had sexual temptation attacks, even just going to the store or something.
I ask for everyone's blessings. God bless you all. |

| Re: My Wife and Doubt | | Praying for you and your wife. All I can say about the problem you are having is to stay in the word and pray often, as long as it takes. Put on some worship music and keep your mind on the Lord. When you do this you are resisting the enemy and he has to flee from you.Draw nigh to God and He says He will draw nigh to you.
James 4:6-8 6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

| Re: My Wife and Doubt | | May I share my struggle I have often have, at least more so in this last month, while right after my father died. I have taken some to think what has changed in my life sense then. Lots for sure, but many the way I do things. I have seen that there are pattern of sin that have made there way into life and now, I fallen into a pit of habit which has killed some my ability to pray. The things I have learned you can't be discipline in spiritual matter useless are also discipline in physical matter too. For this key for me to pray, we have to be on guard if not he will weak spots and take up down. How busyness and wast of time. For me this is huge the discipline in every part of my life. being sick I have come reason, but none hold in some matters. What I eat is key, I must be willing to fight everyday against me own flesh and its desires. I desire it and lust after, but I must not give any room for flesh to have it way, this why I must flee. Being discipline, when I go to the store, if I am weak, then I am not to go alone. I have now going to write down everything I eat and have that I will show a friend every week. I have fallen in this pit, and I need others. To write this will be a struggle, but I know what I eat and eating right, will make 10,000 change in how I can pray with clear mind, or other things. Although I am not there eating as I please, I do keep and discipline a great deal I could say Come I do good 80% of time, well the 20% is still sin and hurting me. So I have to be willing for sake of my prayers to not eat whatever I want, I have to give some of my rights.
Another thing is when I am in the word, but more putting it to heart, before my father died I would wake and first I would reading chapter and chapter now I can't do a chapter . I have fallen in the discipline of going over it, I now struggle with it, get upset and discouraged and keep falling in that area. Now hear it was never about just doing for the sake of doing it, I know my heart was that I truly loved the word, and it fired my prayers. The word was in my heart, I was alway thinking about, it was simply I loved it, so. Wherever I went I had it, I want to read a PS before I did anything. I had to open and read many times an day. I desire to pray before every meeting, if God wasn't there then it was vain. My heart and mind in the love of Gods word was so different then now. Why my lack discipline. I know my heart still yearns for it, yet I have let my heart grow cold, it the daily life and busyness. But this one I know, having Gods word is key to pray and living. It is to the key delight. Gods words should not hit easy but hard and deep. Much to think and ponder on. I have been seen, my lack of Gods word, in having the discipline to put it heart and study it deeper have hurt my prayer. I know and strongly believe if you want fire and passion to pray spend a couple hours alone in Gods word, and it alone move a heart.
But I know the struggle of life, and how hard it can be to pray. But this one this we must do, is set our face to do and let nothing come it the way. It is fight. I have seen there are many thing I must change if I am going to fight to pray some which are hard, yet I have value the cost. and Christ wins, every time. I just have to keep the cross ever before me. So give up, fight. Do whatever you have to make that time. Go bed sooner, so you have clear mind, stop eating something or whatever it is. Put Christ in top Place. And know all battle and fought with Christ.
You are in my prayers... keep on, lets praise the Lord. In his love charlene _________________ charlene
