Having a rough day!!!

Hey guys, I really need prayer. The devil is attacking my mind and I'm almost too tired to fight or even care.

Got a lot of things going on right now and we're really busy. I feel like we've been attacked in every area of our lives and I can't get up off the ground. Just being pounded on and beat up constantly.

Just feeling a little overwhelmed this evening.

Lady Coonskinner, God is able. You know you are His child. Lean on His promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you. I will pray for you, Sis.

Sis. Lady Coonskinner,

For the past couple months you have posted with wisdom, compassion, and grace...this makes you a target for the devil. He doesn't like you right now. When discoragement and trouble weigh at you...look at the devil, laugh in his face, and tell him to leave you alone...you love God and it don't matter what he throws at you.

When you are attacked in every area of your life it is because a breakthrough is just around the corner. You are just...in transition. This is a time of pain as growth brings pain. The finished product is the main thing. God has a plan for you...I have seen it...and he is making you into a vessel of honor.

When I pray, I will pray for you that God continue to teach you, mold you, and strengthen you. Do not wonder when these things happen...God is just determined to do what you have asked him to do...use you.

Love & Blessings, Sis. Rhonda

Thanks for the kind words. I feel like I have a great big target on my forhead and backside and it is in neon colors and glow in the dark, so no matter where I go, I'm "seen."

It's been really rough for a while, then I become overwhelmed with fear and worry. I know it is a sin to worry, but like I tell my husband,"Well, you and God don't worry about nothing, so someone has to."

I know there's a breakthrough coming, I just hope I'm strong enough to hold on til it comes.

The Lord gave me scripture..Prov 3:4-5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thing own understanding. In all thy way acknowlege him and he shall direct thy path.

I've been justifying Him for weeks now. I'm going to keep on doing that. He's right and His ways are right, even if I don't understand what's going on.

Sis. Romans 8:28 is for you:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

There is no need for you to worry...cast all your cares on Him because he careth for you.

Lean on Christ, and lean on your spouse...that is what he is there for.

Rest. In Jesus name.

Sis. Rhoni

Lady Coonskinner,

To worry is human. It is what you do with the worry that counts. When it feels overwhelming (and we have all been there) that is The Enemy of our souls using life's ups and downs to attack us.

It is times like this when we have to take a deep breath, step back and remember what all God has brought us through in the past and reconfirm in our minds that we know he will take us through to our future, no matter how uncertain that may seem at the moment.

You are not alone! We have all been there. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will undergird you and give you peace of mind in the midst of the storm.

I'm afraid if I take any more deep breaths, I'm going to hyperventilate!!!
