Yesterday, I believed God was going to give me ...

Yesterday, I believed God was going to give me the job I had prayed a year for, only to have my trust broken and my spirit shattered. I believed this position I already received as the scripture states ,,than it shall be mine. Only to suffer one more let down, but what hurts the most is the emptiness and confusion about everything I have believed and taught, being placed in route.. is God's word really true? Am I trusting in something that isn't there? My 8 yr old daughter said to me yesterday people who do bad things get the jobs and houses but you changed your life for God and stopped cursing, smoking, drinking,and you don't get the job you have been praying for telling us,God has for you, WHY? And My 14 yr old says she will believe when she sees God do something in our lives,because before I dedicate my life to Jesus last Sept,2012 our lives were better, we had money to pay the rent and the bills and back to school needs. Now we are on welfare,receiving food stamps and can't pay our bills which are all on disconnect status, and not a penny to purchase even shoes for my 3 children to start school with poet alone school supplies. We are as poor as they come and yet I still believe humbly that God's will and timing would be done in my life. My oldest daughter and her boyfriend had been led to church by my faith, but as it so happened all my friends and my daughter have turned from me and the church, and look at me crazy cuz I still believe and declare God has a job for me. But after yesterday of a year of believing and finally trusting in something and it still not being done. I give up praying for anything to change in my life this . Poverty struck life is what his purpose is for my life. From a broken heart!!!!

Amanda, my beautiful sister: God may have had other plans for you. Remember, when we pray, God always answers but he doesn't always say YES. Sometimes he closes the door for a really good reason but we can't see it at the time.

Father, I lift up Amanda to you. I know how disappointed she is that you slammed the door shut. She wanted the job so badly. I know you have plans for her and I ask you to lead her in the direction you want her to go. May she find her way to the job you choose for it, that it be everything she has been dreaming of and more. May she come to realize that your time is not our time and that your time is perfect and always right. I sense her heart today and know that I myself have gone through what she is going through. I trust is you and believe that you will help her find what is right for her. Help her to be patient and to have peace while she is standing. Take her hand, Father.

May she feel your presence today. Let us stand with her and lift her up that she can find peace in her sorrow. In Jesus name, Amen

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

The same kind of thing is going on with my mom and her job. She is working hard to put me through college and its getting tough. She applied for a promotion but it seems as if its not going to happen. But she still has faith. Actually her faith in God is getting stronger because of this. She told me that God closes doors and opens new ones. Maybe the job you were looking at is a door that God has closed. He has opened a door in your life but it is up to you to depend solely on him and find it. Things will get better. Just let go and let God...

Oh, and something that helps me is thinking about the quote, "God doesn't give me anything that I cannot handle"

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Pour your heart out to the Father in Jesus name. HE HEARS YOU. My wife and I have prayed for your request in Jesus name.

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.
