Keep your faith stead fast in the Lord. The Lord works wonders and makes the end result of all things wonderful and worth the wait. The Lord works in perfect time and gives his gifts in the perfect way. Remember to allways keep your faith in the Lord and you will never be dissapointed.
Look at Job. He had everything taken from him, but still kept his faith in the Lord and his works. Because of his faith he was rewarded double the things had to begin with.
God Bless the Lord and all his Glory.

With you I rise,
In you I sleep,
kneeling down I kiss your feet,
Grace abounds upon me now,
I once was lost
but now I'm found.
The gift of God dwells within,
To this love I now give in.

Thank so much. I am having issues with my husband. Because of his second stroke he is having issues controling his emotions. Anger is hard for him to deal with and he often hurts me to the core with his words. When he calms down, he can't understand why I feel so wounded. Some help was given last week when the doctor talked to us both about this issues. She told hubby that while my ADD made him nervous, it is not appropriate for him to lose control of his anger and lash out at me because I can't always sit still. He seem to be working on his anger much better. He still has a trust issue with God and he keeps telling me to pray for God to bless our finances so God will give us a house. In fact he reminds me when I say the blessing over our meal if I forget to pray for our fiances. He began today an online Bible study and I know that God is softning his heart
I want you to know how very much it meant to read your post and to know that God cares enough about me to lay my name on your heart. I struggle with feelings of worthlessness and I often wonder if God even thinks I am worth the bother.
Your post blessed me more than I can say in words. I will pray that God will reward you for you love and support.
I forgot but hubby was on the verge of another stroke two weeks ago. His blood pressure was sky high one day and dangerously low the next. A couple called and asked if they could come and pray for us and God is healing my husband. His blood pressure has been normal for a week and half. The doctor had been real concern because she said he is on maxium medication that they can give him.
thank you so very much.

Hi MentorsRiddle,
I know exactly how you feel. I have also done many things in the past that I'm not proud of. While I'm so thankful that the Lord forgives me for my sins, I often wonder why He would care so much for a wretch like me? What am I that is of any importance to the creator of the universe? Wouldn't His time be better spent focused on someone else?
And then I realize that this is the God of love and forgiveness. The God that would welcome back the prodigal son after he confesses his sins and begs forgiveness. The God that walks with us every moment of every day of our lives. The God that could love a wretch like me.
It feels wonderful indeed.
Yours in Christ,
Bob.

As I sit here tonight running off of caffeine I can’t help but think how lucky we are to have such a wonderful God. I sit here now thinking about my childhood and how I made so many mistakes; and I can’t help but smile when I think about how the Grace of God has allowed me to be free from all of those terrible sins that I committed in the past. I have broken just about every single commandment, and done just about every wrong thing that I could possibly do. I just smile when I think how God has saved us all. I came from virtually nothing to having just about everything that I could ever want.
God has allowed me to have a successful job, a loving companion, and a wonderful child. I look toward the future with a uncertain knowledge of how things will play out in my life. These are the facts I know for certain:
1. I know there will be ups.
2. I know there will be downs.
3. I know I will laugh.
4. I know that I will cry.
But out of all the hardships that I know I will face in the remainder of my life I know that God will be right there with me guiding me and walking with me.
I suppose I am also writing this because I just want to say to those of you are currently facing hard times that God is with you and has not forsaken you. It feels so wonderful to know that we are being watched over and cared for by a benevolent creator who will do anything for us if we ask.
I thank each of you on this message board who has guided me in my path to God.
You are all wonderful people and I thank you all.
One person of interest that I feel God weighing on my heart with is Texasgrandma. God is telling me that you are currently facing hard times in your life. Some sort of a problem dealing with your husband. I want you to know that God is taking care of everything and that all will be ok. Don’t know if that makes any since or not but I feel God weighing on my heart to say that

In you I sleep,
