Praying Through the Pain

                 Praying Through the Pain

For starters quit praying for someone else to change while you are refusing to change your outlook, attitude, your old hang ups, and disobedient life style. Now that that is out of the way let me continue here by saying with an obedience to God and those who have the rule over you, then can you began to pray about your situation. What I mean by that is make sure you are not partly blamable for the situation you are in. Look here in every relationship I am in I don't blame me or the other person but I seek the LORD to help us all treat each other better. No I am not going to bash which of my relationships I am talking about but I will say this "When you become selfless you can see and know that all have failed and have fallen short of the glory of God. Yes that means you have also because you are apart of that ALL." I read Ester and Ruth and found these women NEVER blamed themselves nor others for their situation but they took on their situation head on. I would say they put on their big girl pannies and grew the heck up.  

So what you have been through a lot, who has't? If you are always crying about how much stuff you been through. Let me ask you this when are you going to allow the LORD to deliver you out of your hurts and pains? Look I could tell you what I have been through from age 11 to now but it wouldn't mean a thing to you, but to me it would mean I came a long way to make it to 48 years walking with the Lord. I am so tired of hearing "If you walked a mile in my shoes you would have the same out come"; yet the problem I have with that statement is I can not be you in your situation and nor can anyone else. Your story is yours all to yourself and my story is mine. The bottom line is we all have story it all depends on how you react or interact within your story. What I am saying EXAMINE yourself through the word of God and ask him to show you YOU! Believe me when I say this you will see you as if there was a mirror in front of you.

Ask the Savior to help you let your light so shine so that men may see His good works through you. I pray that you would like to see His face in peace and not in terror. If you only focus on your pain and hurts how can you also focus on the goodness of God?

Be blessed I hope and pray that this has helped someone or even touched you to change you and not someone else.
