Great message, although really hard to do but that is the way I want to be in my life happy and anxious for nothing because I know my God will take care of everything I don't need to worry or be anxious. I say this as I am struggling with some issues that are causing me to be greatly anxious. :)

I took my son to the Dr. today and he said my son has Tourettes. Right now we are not going to do anything b/c we don't want to medicate him and neither does his dr. only if it worsens or if it is causing problems at school or socially. So I just pray God takes all the signs and symptoms of this disorder away and completely heals him and lets him be able to be a normal child.

I have been thinking lately "what can I do or where can I give?" Last night this thought popped in my head ( I believe it was inpired by God): A friend of my husbands in borrowing one of our TV's with a DVD player built into it. He's a recovering Drug Addict like my husband and he doesn't have much. So I told my husband that the thought just came to me to give him that TV and bless him with it (this is a friend too that I really want to bring to church with us as well) since all our kids have one and in a few months we will be getting this huge monter of a TV (its a guy thing) we really won't need it anyways soon and I haven't missed it at all. My husband was at first like "heck No" but I told him how we had been blessed with all the Televisions that we do have in our house and that we were getting a new one anyways and to just think about it and let him have it. He softened up and said he'd think about it. But there is so much that we don't have for our house and money is very tight right now but TV's are one thing we are not short on and why not bless someone who doesn't have one with one. So here I am thinking I have nothing to give to be generous with and we really do have something to be generous with. It made me think of all the things we do have that we could be more generous with. I hope and pray my husand blesses his friend and shows him the generous spirit of christ. I do want God to give myself and my family generousity as a natural instinct and for it to become a way of living for us. Since it is true our money is not ours but his and our possessions are not ours but his anyways we should be more free to bless others.

PLease please pray that God restore my marriage. I need God so much right now. I thought things were getting better between us and God was healing us but we continue to struggle daily. There are so many issues between us and the biggest one is his past drug problem that he thinks I should be over and trust him already again. I just got off the phone with him and he said he's calling divorse attorneys. I don't know what to do. I need you God so badly. Please restore our love and our marriage if its your will. WE have four kids and we all just moved back in together after a 4 month split while he was in rehab recovering.
I read Criag Groesheles book about going all the way and man I did the marriage and dating thing all wrong and I truely believe that we have been in the past very unequally yoked and thats why we have had the struggles we've had. He's come to God and I've come to God but we continue to struggle. Please help us LORD, Please restore trust, love, peace and happiness in our home. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been so incredibly patient on the LORD but what do you do when its such a struggle are we just not supposed to be together?
Please pray for my husband and I and our family, that God restore us to be stronger family and deeply committed to God's will for our lives.

Kandace,
I will be praying for you too that your husband gets the job at the OKC fire department. One of my friends husband is a fireman somewhere around the OKC area and its so nice, he has everyother day off and he has so much time to spend with his family. I will also be praying for you and school. YOu can do it, I started college with one baby and by the time I graduated six years later I had 4 kids all 6 and under, its hard to do but you can do it. I also started working full time and started graduate school at the same time and I have one class until I am done, but I could not have done it without God's grace. But you can do it!

Patti, I am saying a prayer for the fallen officer's family too. My dad is a police officer in Stillwater, OK and has been for over 25 years, it breaks my heart everytime I see one of them fall. For some reason I have never feared my dad going to work, I guess I just fully trust God to take care of my daddy b/c I've never worried at all and he's been in some very serious situations in his career. I guess we need to pray for our policemen, firemen, and service men everyday as they protect us.

Kandice, I just read your post. My husband and I too have been going through some extrodinarily tough times the last few years and Easter weekend he had gotten out of Drug Rehab. He and I decided that it was time to go to church together as a family and stop running from God and trying to fix our mess ourselves. I had always wanted him to go to church with me for our entire 11 year marriage but could never get him to come. Well, we had just moved to Sillwater, Ok and we had no idea where to go to church but somehow the idea of Livechurch came to us, so we went to visit. I was really hesistant because some of the other churches I had gone to in my past had not spoken highly of the church but we went anyways (just shows how divided God's people are). My kids LOVED IT AND MY HUSBAND LOVED IT, and the warrior message hit him hard. He is devoted to going to church every Sunday now. We hate to miss and we schedule all activities around church on Sunday and if something else comes up we skip it or go after church. It is such a huge answered prayer. Plus, many of the people that are at the AA and NA meetings my husband goes to attend church there and my best friend from high school I found out goes there too.

God has answered a lot of my prayers like getting my husband to drug rehab and getting him clean and sober, he has gotten my family back into church and actually living under the same roof again. But you said you had prayed for your husband to be the spiritual leader of your house. Well, I have always wanted that for my husband too but I have never thought of praying for that. So now I am going to pray that for my family too. I know he wants to lead but after all the problems we've had its hard for us. So I need to learn to let him be the spiritual leader as well as him being inspired to take the reigns to do so. God is good and I know he will answer my prayer for that.

Its nice reading all the prayers on here because I not only pray for other people but I realize the things in my life that I have not prayed for myself and have not yet turned over to God. Plus its nice seeing all the believers on here praying for each other and talking about God, sometimes in the world I find it hard to find people to talk to about how EXCITED I am for the first time in my life about GOD and all the things he has done for me and my family. We still have lots to work on and lots more to do but I know God has great plans.

So Kandice, just thought your story struck a familiar sound with me about going to Lifechurch as a family on Easter and your husband and you struggling b/c thats exactly where we were on Easter too.

I was just reading the prayers on here and I wanted to let "G" know that I am praying for her. I know what she is going through my husband too is a recovering addict and I know how hard everything is. We are just barely making it through ourselves, but we wouldn't have made it this far if not for GOD! I have the same prayer for myself.
I also wanted to let Colin know that I am praying for him too! I prayed the same thing for myself when I read your prayer request.

My one prayer right now is that God helps me find a job closer to home so that I can stop commuting and spend more time with my family. God has a great plans for me and my family, now I just need to wait on him. I want only his will for my life and my families life!

God is good :)
