In His Graces: Prayers Needed

Prayers Needed

Blogger friends-blended families go through some of the same issue's as the basic two-parent family but some of those issue's are more dramatic because of the "blending". My family has been faced with a crisis within our family structure. A crisis that may tear this family apart. The pain is very fresh and satan is trying to defeat us as a family unit by making me question not only myself as a parent but every other role I carry. If I feel so close to God and so secure in where He has me and who He has me with, then why do our children pull away from us and God? We needs prayers...desperately need prayers please.

This is hard. I am praying for you that you will see the truth in the situation and continue to love as you have been. Your girls are beautiful creations of the Lord. They are listening to the lies of the enemy. I will continue to pray for their eyes to be opened and for the Lord's will to be done in their lives. They are His...He created them and I am going to ask for His protection over there hearts and minds. Amen!; September 1, 2008 at 10:30 PM

So that when others look to this situation, and even those within the mess, they will see Your hand and will praise You for healing. Lord bring them through this storm. Show this family Your power and strength as they have never seen it before. We trust in You and rely on You as the only source of hope. Amen.; September 1, 2008 at 11:39 PM

Julie said...: Pamela,
I saw your post on Lelia's blog and came here to read. First I want to say that I have not experienced a blended family, but I have experienced teenage daughters who have walked away from what they were taught and chosen a path that has brought destruction. They have also come back.

I just wanted to say that I understand.

If I can encourage you in any way, please stop by my blog, get my email address and email me.

Bless you...I have prayed for you.

Hugs,

Philippians 3:10-11, Amplified

For my determined purpose is that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death, in the hope that if possible I may attain to the spiritual and moral resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead even while in the body.

My Spiritual Goal's thoughout the years...

2015 I am unsettled. I want God more...Revive deep spirituality in my heart; let me live near to the Great Shepherd, hear his voice, know its tones, follow its calls. "Lord, I cry out to you. I say, “You are my protection. You are all I want in this life.” ~ Ps. 142: 5

2014 Enough & Anchored: God is enough (focus) & I will be anchored in Him (action).
"Lord," said Phillip, "Show us the Father, and that's ENOUGH for us." ~John 14:8 (HCSB).
"[God's] hope is real & true, an ANCHOR to steady our restless souls, a hope that leads us back...to where God is..." ~ Heb 16:9 (The Voice)

2013: Diakono's Living-Loving Out Loud (LOL): having the heart to do something radical for God.
Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices. ~ Hebrews 13:16 (HCSB)

2012: Living Out Loud (LOL): Losing control for what God wants me to do!!
~ Isaiah 58: 10-12 (Message)

2011 Goal: A Godly Woman's Journey: having a fuller understanding and expression of the love of God.
~ 2 Thes 3:5

2010 Goal: To grow my trust (faithfulness) in Him and to Praise (thankfulness) Him more!~Ps 63:1-8

2009 Goal: increase my prayer life ~ Col 4:2-6

2008 Goal: heart, mind, & action of a servant
~ Isa 61:1-3

2007 Goal: Freedom from my past ~Ps 40:1-3

Siesta Scripture Memory Team 2011

In 2009 I started memorizing scripture with Beth Moore's Siesta Scripture Memory Team. It started a journey in my life that I now cherish.

I am not a writer...I am a women of grace, who through life circumstances has learn what it means to live in and through Christ. I wouldn't change a thing in my life because of where it has brought me spiritually with my Lord (Psalms 40:1-3). I have a godly husband and a blended family with six girls!! I am blessed!! I am also nurse, an educator, and have served in youth and women's ministry. I started this blog years ago when I was active in women's ministry but life got difficult, and the pain and losses pulled me out of ministry. Though my heart longs to be back there, I have recently changed my focus here to be more of a legacy for our girls. As I grow more in love with Jesus every day, I pray and hope that I pass that on to them. If you have stumbled onto this blog, I pray that in my being open and transparent, you too see Christ in my living and are encouraged. As I study His word deeper, I strive to become more like Jesus. Therefore, my prayer for this blog comes from Isaiah 50:4 "Sovereign Lord, give me your words of wisdom, so that I will know how to comfort the weary and those who need to know Your grace. Morning by morning awaken me and open my understanding to Your will. Guide me to share it here".
