Need help
 
I have been going through a very tough time in my life for the past 4 months... I could really use your prayers. I would go into more detail but it's personal, and God already knows the whole thing so if you all would just pray for my family I would so much appreciate it. I have a very strong faith in the Lord. There is power in prayer... So please pray. This is the darkest time I have ever gone through and I really want it to get better soon!!! Sorry this is so general but I feel like I can't go into it here.... Thanks every one.

My prayers are with you and yours Brooke.
HUGS

Marilyn 01-22-2007 08:01 PM

Oh, ((((((Brooke)))))), whatever it is, God has the answer. We will pray that things work out for you soon. Put your trust in Him. We are here for you when you need us. :heart:

Brooke 01-23-2007 04:04 AM

Thanks Guys...This is something I can't talk to friends about. It's good to know I have some one praying for me.

I know others talk about things that are personal, but if any one got on this computer (my kids, or husband) They could look up my screen name and see this thread, and they would know I wrote it because my name is really Brooke. Doesn't any one else worry about that happening? I don't think my family would bother but they could and then they would feel horrible about me writting about them here!!!! That's why I won't go into detail.

Marilyn 01-23-2007 04:45 AM

We all need to be careful how personal we get on here. Not that we are bad and have anything to hide, but it's not prudent to reveal too much on a public forum. I've been pretty shocked at how open some folks have been on here.

Brooke, if you need us, we are here. You can PM anyone you want and share e-mail addresses and communicate more privately if you really need someone to talk to.

Hold on to your faith and know that others are praying for you as well. We care!!!!

Janet 01-23-2007 07:25 AM

I know I have to be one of them you're referring to Marilyn.....LOL :D I'm pretty much an open book. Have been most of my adult life. I'm not afraid to post most anything personal, if I think I can benefit from someones advice or prayers. I'm not worried about my family or friends seeing things I post either. Most of the time they already know or soon will.


Brooke, you know how special I think you are and how grateful I was and am, when you reached out to me. My prayers are with you, sweetie and I'm here anytime you need me.

I pray all goes well for you Brooke!

Sending you a BIG HUG!

Gina 01-23-2007 08:05 PM

My prayers are with you also Brooke, I hope you and your family get through this dark period. If you need a friend PM me anytime...

Gina 01-23-2007 08:05 PM

My prayers are with you also Brooke, I hope you and your family get through this dark period. If you need a friend PM me anytime...

Brooke 01-24-2007 11:49 AM

Thanks for praying guys... This situation has been going on a while and I know it will take a while to get better, if it does!

Janet 01-24-2007 01:18 PM

Just wanted to let you know that you've been on my mind. I hope things get better...:)

RLC12345678 01-24-2007 01:27 PM

I'm praying for you, too, Brooke!!!!! Just trust in the Lord. Everyone goes through tough times. It will only get better. (((((((hugs))))))

I had a friend that sent me a card because she knew that this last week was not good for me and my family and in it she wrote this scripture that I'm going to pass on to you:

In everything we have won more than a victory
because of Christ who loves us.
Romans 8:37

I'll be praying for your situation, Brooke. Keep us posted even if it's brief.

Brooke 01-25-2007 06:32 PM

Thanks guys for the encouragment. Things are worse then ever... I did tell my husband I posted here and he wasn't upset... I'm not sure what will happen but I am praying... I am so tired, and stressed, and my gut has a constant hard ball in it form all this... I feel like I've been hit by a stinking truck. But I know the Lord is working, and sometimes you have to go through the hard times to get to the good times. Please keep praying for my famly. thanks so MUCH!!!

Bible verses are really good for me right now! Thanks....

Marilyn 01-25-2007 08:00 PM

Brooke, I am praying for you. Hope these are of some comfort:

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:2-4

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. " Romans 8:28

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 5:6-11

Brooke, I'm praying that you will find the strength to endure and persevere in your time of trial and grow stronger and closer to God as a result.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy meditate on these things." Phillipians 4:6-8
