I'm struggling currently waiting on God's timing. It's been over a year now since my husband abandoned our son and I. We have only seen him for 3 days in the last year. He had a psychotic break and refuses to believe it. Jesus told me that He would restore us, and I only need to be patient. But it's hard when you're alone. But it's also the season God is drawing me even closer to Him.
Please pray for my wife. She is having her 3rd surgery on her eye this morning. Pray for the doctors and nurses doing the surgery, and let God's hands guide their hands.
Usually, when at my lowest, After trying to do things my way, Then being so frustrated Ihave to just give it all over to him, Then do nothing stop trying so hard to have my way and pray and then I watch the way he moves on my behalf! That’s truly amazing! 🙏🏻
What's one promise of God you need to trust this week?
Philippians 4:19 — "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
God knows what you need financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. His provision may not always come in the way or timing you expect.
When have you felt loved by God despite your mistakes?
I remember booking a holiday up north with my wife, it was only for a few days but the holiday was so expensive. I felt heavily oppressed on the 2nd day, but after I prayed for forgiveness acknowledging my carelessness in how much I spent, the next morning my joy returned and we were able to take a train somewhere where everything was much cheaper and had a great time.
I used to make high-risk trades and bets when I impulsively wanted to make money back that I lost trading & betting. I always lost. Even if it seems like a 50/50 chance, God’s timing is perfect so every time I lost I knew that God was telling me ‘this is not the way’.
When have you felt peace despite difficult circumstances?
I find peace in difficult situations when I am able to gather myself, usually at the end of my day, and I make the time to reflect and pray to the Lord. In those moments where I can be clear of the distractions of the world, and speak what is truly in my heart via prayer.
Please pray for me as I need a job. I retired early to care for my wife and now I have to go back to work to get insurance. Please pray that the Lord will give me a job quickly that will help us and bring glory to Him.
