Updated Request...

[Jonathan B.]

Thank you everyone for your prayers. Please continue praying until I am able to post a praise report. Please continue lifting me up for strength against the evil one and his arrows of doubt, depression, and despair.

I am choosing to be thankful. I thank God for His faithfulness in provision for so many other areas in my life like my overall health, a stable job, seeing to it that I can keep a roof over mine and my mom's heads and making sure that we're provided for, etc. I choose to praise Him and give Him thanks for the promises He has made me even though He hasn't fulfilled them yet. I give God thanks and praise for sending His pure and sinless Son to this earth to experience this life in the lowly form of a human and all of our pain, suffering, etc, and to die on the cross to save us. And most of all, I thank the Sovereign Triune God for raising Jesus, His Son from the dead; our Christ, Messiah, Savior, Redeemer and for sending His Holy Spirit to live within us if we just accept Him and ask Him into our lives.

I'm choosing today to believe in the fulfillment of those promises. I will stand fast on this Rock who is Christ Jesus on which I stand and who's Holy Spirit lives within me. No matter the longing, no matter the loneliness, no matter the pain, Jesus knows it all. Though the waves roar and crash all around me I refuse to be moved. God is my creator and my Father and He has guided my life. He has made me and molded me into the man that I am. I will love the one that He brings me like everyday is our last. I believe that God had both of our lives planned in His book before time began. I believe that even now our hearts beat as one. I choose to stand strong and believe that on any day and at any moment that God will bring her into my life, that He will make good on His promises to me, and that we will have a calling and a ministry together that will bring God the glory and honor and praise that's due His Holy Name. I will love her and cherish her like no other gift that God has given me from the time we meet until either Christ comes for us or until we're separated by an earthly death.

Please brothers and sisters continue to pray. Pray that God will bring me these gifts that He promised. I know and understand that with these blessings comes a great responsibility but, with God's help and a laser focus on Him I will be the man that He has made me to be. Please pray with me until we can lift up praises to Him for the answers to these prayers...

Grace and peace to you all through Christ Jesus our Lord,
###

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.
