The Bible NETWork ~ Impacting the World for Christ one post at a time!

hey guys, I just need some prayer... if you guys remember all the things that happened between Meegin and I. Now that its all over even now (its been almost 8 months) i still feel super drained. Everytime i see or hear of her my stomach folds into knots and I know I should just move on and I want to. But Its like that was a time where i felt really loved and really happy.. And i cant feel God right now, I know He's here but i cant feel him. I feel so lost in my life now... I had this purpose, i had school and meegin, and a goal to to do apologetics. But now.. I cant afford school. so im applying for the navy, cause after i serve like 10-15 years they will pay for schooling. Meegin is gone obviously. and I just feel like i failed. I want to do all i can for God but i just feel like ive become useless in his eyes.

Also, I could use a prayer for self esteem. I grew up in a very emotional abusive home and i still get it from my parents once and a while, It has caused me to be very hard on myself and I have lost a lot of friends because of the way i talk about myself (without even knowing it), I have come a long way in my recovery but i recentely had someone who meant a lot to me flip out sideways because they were sick of the way i spoke about myself. The problem is i dont know what "Talking normal" looks like or feels like... to be honest I can feel very few emotions and that on its own is kind of frusterating...


anyway... If you feel like praying that would be cool...
thanks

I pray now for Jordan.

Lord, strengthen his heart and renew his vision in you. Help him to find his rest in you and erase the pain within his heart. Show him your will and your purpose for him within your will. In you alone, Lord God, is true peace and rest. In you alone, Oh Lord, is true happiness. As he starts down the way into the Navy, please, Oh Lord, direct his path and fulfill your purpose in him. Help Jordan to know that you are always with him and that you hold him by your right hand. Guide Jordan with your counsel and take him into your glory. He has no one in heaven but you and I pray that on earth there be no desire for Jordan but you. You, Oh Lord, are the strength of Jordan's heart and his portion forever. Build up his character and self-esteem that he would reflect your glory and be comfortable and complete in your love for him.

And, Lord, I pray for Meegan. Bring her to a saving knowledge of Christ our Lord. Show her and her family the truth of your revelation which can be found only in Christ alone. May we all be bowing at your throne one day proclaiming, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!"

Jordan,
I was a sailor for 13 years in the U.S. Navy. The military can either test your faith (and believe me it will) or completely wreck your faith. Please, I pray, take care that you are not running out of the proverbial pan and into the fire.

Blessings,
Randy

It is good to acknowledge that issues in your life need attention, but don't deny that these issues need attention from others.
If you are like most you would rather make it on your own, dont be afraid of rejection , allow others to help you.
Find a person/pastor to share with who can and will hold you accountable, face to face.

Open the Bible and take a moment to let God's Word sink in a few Scriptures to reveal the way God work with each other.
Romans 12:4-5 This tells us as Christians we can depend on each other, not just God.
Romans 12:15 tells us to weep with each other.
Romans 15:14 counsel each other.
1 Corinthians 12:25 tells us to care for each other.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 encourages and edify each other

Let God's truth live in your heart.
Connect with Jesus in intense prayer today, as others pray for you.
Asking Jesus to teach you how to connected meaningfully with others and to give you guidance in making the best connections.
God Bless

I have prayed for you. Feeling are very temporary- they just do not "feel" temporary.

May our Lord bring you safely to the next place in His will.
