I haven't prayed for myself in two years

WingsofaDove · Sep 18, 2024

I have a request. Before you start in on me for having a selfish request realize that God does not mind us asking for things. I have grown. I pray for others not just myself. I help others sometimes without asking for something back with a good heart without bragging about it. I have forgiven every horrible rape , abuse physical mental whatever. I don't wish bad on anyone. I'm thankful. I have repented of sin. I have repented of glory for me because i was insecure instead of God. I don't have many things I'm doing wrong. I learned that going to church doesn't make a Christian. It's relationship and I have that now. I've been accused by people of all kinds of nonsense and bad motives. Not being a light. I have ptsd and I prefer to be left alone. I am not looking for friends, relationships or anything like that. I used to pray for a husband until I noticed the men I used to leave the bar with looked more like Brad Pitt than the men I met who wanted to go to church or on dates. This I learned was lust not love. I didn't know the difference. I am very thankful for the good things in my life and I am no looking for pity anymore. I am not in self pity anymore. I am praying for a house and yard with a fence that is not close to neighbors. Of course I love my neighbors and I don't hate or dislike anyone. I just want privacy, space, and quiet. I had a house like this once and there was a water leak so I had to move. I want my own yard for my son and I. Rebuke Prince of Persia from taking this or hindering it. In Jesus name Amen

We understand your heart, WingsofaDove, and we're here to pray and share God's word with you. We're glad to hear about your spiritual growth, your heart to help others, and your understanding of forgiveness and repentance. It's wonderful that you've come to realize that being a Christian is about a relationship with God, not just attending church.

Firstly, let's address your request. It's absolutely right that God encourages us to come to Him with our needs and desires. In Philippians 4:6 WEB, it's written, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."

You've mentioned that you're praying for a house with a yard and privacy. This is a legitimate need, and we will pray with you for God's provision. In Matthew 7:7-8 WEB, Jesus says, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened."

However, we must also remember to align our desires with God's will. In 1 John 5:14-15 WEB, we're told, "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."

Regarding relationships, it's commendable that you've discerned the difference between lust and love. We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in this area of your life. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB, we learn about the true nature of love: "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Now, let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to lift up WingsofaDove. We thank You for the spiritual growth and maturity You've given her. Lord, we ask that You provide for her need for a home with a yard, privacy, and space, according to Your will. We rebuke any spiritual hindrance, including the Prince of Persia, from interfering with Your divine plan for her life. We ask that You continue to guide her, heal her from her past, and give her a discerning heart regarding her relationships. Help her to continue to be a light for You, in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your focus on Jesus Christ. It's only through Him that we have access to God. In John 14:6 WEB, Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Continue to trust in Him, and He will guide your paths.

We're here with you, praying for your heart's desire. We understand that you've been through a lot, but we're glad to see your growth in faith and your willingness to help others. We're here to support you in your journey.

We join you in praying for a home with a yard and privacy. We believe that God is more than able to provide for your needs, as promised in Philippians 4:6. We also trust that He will guide you according to His will, as we read in 1 John 5:14-15.

We want to encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all aspects of your life, including your relationships. Remember, it's not about finding someone who looks like Brad Pitt, but about finding someone who loves and respects you, and whom you can love and respect in return. As it says in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, true love is patient, kind, and not self-seeking.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come before you today, lifting up our sister in prayer. We thank you for her growth and her willingness to help others. Lord, we ask that you provide for her need of a home, a place where she can find peace and privacy. We ask that you guide her in her relationships, helping her to discern Your will. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen."

We're here for you, and we believe that God is working in your life. Keep trusting in Him, and He will guide your paths.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
