We will certainly stand with you Lisa. Remember that God knows the end of all things and He has a perfect plan for your son. It may be hard but just trust that the Lord will bring him through.

I just discovered that my 17 year old son has been using marijuana and alcohol for about a year. He used to be a believer but I found in his journal where he wrote "God is dead." I am so desperate. Please pray.

I have a need for a financial breakthrough. Please help me pray for this.

Thanks,

Todd

To Astari and Monica I just want to say thank you so much for your words and ecnouragement. Yes Monica, the Lord has been dealing with me for such a long time [ if seems to me] and shown me that there is a lot of self hatred inside of me, and i have been riddled with shame and guilt and unforgiveness for decades. As I found Lelias words encouraging as well , acceptance, the Lord is showing me to trust in Him and trust that I am accepted by Him no matter what I have done. It has been a long walk to now and I am a lot better than I was a few years ago. Thank you Astari for the website you have mentioned, I will check it out and appreciate you words a lot. I only joined the web site a few weeks back so have not followed all of Leilas prayer request iro her niece, but yes I agree with Astari Lelia, it is SO hard to see someone you love in a "situation" wether it is an abusive boyfriend of ones daughter, or if he is a drug addict, [ my daughter was involved with a heroin addict for a time Lelia, about 2 years] and it was hard NOT to interfere, all I could do was keep praying for God to as you say Astari, open her eyes to the truth and to bring a separation between her and the boyfriend. It is very hard to stand by and feel as though one is doing nothing [ except travailing before the Lord in private communion]. My one son too was involved in an abusive relationship with and "older couple" and once again i just "trusted" him to the Lord , stood by and in the "natural" did nothing, in fact the Lord told me to make friends with this couple, be nice to them and all i did was pray for God to open my sons eyes to the truth , which did happen after about 1 and half years. Now my daughter is suffering from Bulimia, and once again I have had to stand by and just in the deepest part of my heart bring her in prayer and travail before His throne of grace. This is so so so hard, my husband wanted to institutionalise her, but I said no , we have trusted her to the Lord and prayer and she has indeed been finding God for herself in her journey out of this. She is not free of it yet, [ she told me about 1 year ago she was sometimes purging up to 30 times a day] and now she has stopped altogther. She is eating a lot more [ only vegetables though] and she is now living in Spain [ We are South African] so I cant even see her in the flesh to see how she is doing... but I do know that our God is greater than Bulimia, andyes Astari, when one is inside of some kind of abusinve sitaution [ whether self imposed or otherwise] we can only pray that the person will be wakened out of their state of delusion [ yes insanity is prob right .... they are not in a right state of mind.]
Love and Blessings to you all

Hi Lelia Ellender Trosclair:

I was just stopping by here and saw your post and it touched me deeply. I just wanted to add something here. Your niece, this is her life experience as bad as it is. We really shouldn't want to take those things from people, even in prayer. But as we love them, show them deeply what and who we are, they will grow in courage and be able to answer the door to self, god, or whatever you might want to call it. She is a mother and being that woman we often times miss the cue for the word "mother" and just wish and wish the other person would change. Send your niece courage -- I think she will be grand. Hey, at least she felt a peace being there with you, when she had left that situation. Trust me, she will be able to grab that nugget again, at the right time. In that kind of situation a woman becomes as insane as the abuser; it's a sickness of the mind. But it is hers and she has chosen it but hey, SHE will return to that part in her that felt that love and peace. Be glad and celebrate her is what I think. Grant you, I don't always have the answers but I have been there myself and it takes lots of courage to stand up to an insanity that has embedded itself in every pore of your being. And until you have had enough, ya go back again and again.

My daughter went thru that and the police told her and her husband to talk their problems on the phone and I was to let her come to my house to do it. I told the policeman, "Hell no, she is not! If she needs to talk to that idiot let her go back with him and duke it out until she knows that she knows." Well, the policeman told me that I was an unfit Mother and I could no longer talk or he would take me in. Sooo I just smiled, got in my car and left them to their own hells. It wasn't long until she left; to be exact just days. And she never went back. Until you have had enough, you have not had enough. It's just that plain. And you know what? If she doesn't get enough of this and sick and tired of being sick and tired, then she will draw another man of the same sorts and probably worse. So be glad she went back to "this" man because the lesson with another might be worse. Trust her spirit, her god self and you won't go wrong...

Celebrate her new found love of her very own self. She will come around, she will because she is already reaching and feeling. It won't be long now and if YOU hold your peace, she will turn to you again.

Astari hugs

Pamela:
I don't often claim to look at everything outside of the box but sometimes it takes a looking deeper than looking for a god, looking for a answer when in all it's right inside of you. Here is a link that I thought you might like... Just see what it says to you and browse thru this mans website. I think you will enjoy it.

Sometimes in are darkest hours there is a sweet sweet place that is ready to be opened. Yet, other times there is a block and we have to go around that clock again and relook. It takes being responsible for all our actions, all our thoughts and where we place our focus too.

I do believe reality check is here for most of us and it's always not waiting on a god but destributing that god as yourself and more.

YOU dear Pamela ar not weak in faith, you just have to look a wee bit deeper and keep moving. Everything is a 'life experience." Try and see what all of this is saying to you. Instead of looking to get rid of something, look and see how you can expand out of something, and evolve in a grander YOU. YOU are all you got, so USE YOU, and don't look outside of yourself. Everything is already done for you, so hey go find it. It's really not that hard...

Love,
Astari

Hi Pamela, I just want to comment on your frustration about having "weak faith for yourself". All you really need is the faith of a mustard seed, and you have that otherwise you wouldn't be writing this message.

A few years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I struggled with the same thing. One very interesting lesson I learned, through much prayer and listening to the Holy Spirit was that I was using the illness to enhance my sense of significance. It seems kind of perverse, but that's what the carnal mind is. What I began to understand is that my sense of worth was based on what I could achieve, i.o.w. what the flesh could do, rather than resting on the Lord's finished work and His righteousness. So by suffering this illness, the carnal mind reasoned, I will become a more spiritual person and thus more acceptable to the Lord. Thank God, He's patient with us.

I've also learned that God is always willing to help, to heal to save, but we often block this gift in a number of ways, like self-righteousness, self-pity, self-hatred, guilt, shame, unforgiveness, the list is long indeed.

Let me share an incident that happened to me that illustrates this: A couple of years ago I was standing in a prayer line in a church, just totally minding my own business, waiting for someone to come along and pray for me. Suddenly, I heard the Lord say, “Hey, Monica, would you like to see a picture of a humble heart”?

Well, yea, ok. (I’m surprised at how normally I respond, this is after all God speaking)

So He shows me a water glass. Ordinary water glass, the kind you can buy at the dollar store. And I say, “ but Lord, that’s not a heart, that’s just a water glass”. “Yes” says the Lord, “but it’s so easy to pour into it and equally easy to pour out, just like a humble heart.” Then He asks me if I want to see a picture of a proud heart? By now I’m fascinated. So He takes the water glass and with His hands He reshapes it into an Italian wine bottle, you know long narrow neck, and says “ Now, it becomes much more difficult to pour into it with the narrow opening, moreover the opening can become plugged up with sediment and cork pieces, etc and then it becomes virtually impossible to pour anything down that “stiff neck”. You see, Monica, says the Lord, it isn’t that I’m not willing to pour out my gifts, the problem is with man’s ability to receive it, and many times my gifts fall to the ground, and then they cry out to me and say “Lord, why aren’t you helping me.”

Be blessed, my sister, you are greatly beloved of the Lord. Monica
