I feel like I'm being pressed by a lot of things right now.
The fact that my hair is falling out. It's not as pretty as how I used to keep it.
The fact that my mother-in-law not only rejected my apology but made sure to rip into me, telling me she was praying for my marriage with her son to fail. Listing all my failings, presenting herself as my enemy.
How I want my house to be clean and it just is messy with a vengeance. Like my attempts to clean are just laughable.
How family members on social media have been gifted with vacations to other countries and wealth.
How my friends keep their distance.
I know that God is using trials to produce pleasing faith results in me.
Please pray that I stay focused on Him even as I go about my day. I know now that He loves me and that I can pursue righteousness. I know that if I keep showing obedience, seeking Him first, being in His presence, I know the Lord will help me fight the battles I face.
It's all about Him. So pray that I can be a bold witness for the Kingdom no matter what.

That's right dear sister , we are and shall be praying for you . There is one vacation I am looking forward to and preparing for , ITS THE DAY of the LORD WHEN I SHALL BE FOREVER FREE WITH HIM . Till then we will just face trials and harships , YET we can face them with JOY IN the LORD, and with HOPE , as we await our vacation day where free from these bodies will we forever be . THE HOPE of the LORD endures . Hands up naomi and hands up Dezi , The lambs HAVE JESUS and we have one another .

They are amiss, and there are many more of us praying for your marriage to succeed and get stronger. Your financial situation reminds me a lot of how things were when I first got married. We struggled for the first 10 years. Worry can cause some people to lose their hair. Is there a medical reason this is happening? I will add this to the things to pray about as well.

I can't imagine someone praying for someone's marriage to fail. That is awful! I believe there are many more praying for your marriage to succeed, but I agree that such a prayer is amiss! That is definitely not God's will.

So pray that I can be a bold witness for the Kingdom no matter what. God showed me awhile back he was stretching me. a few sundays later in church one of the elders stood up and spoke on a vision he had. he saw a pecan and the shell was crushed, but the meat inside was fine. he said God told him He has to crush the body, but they will be fine. there was no what for, just that it was necessary.
its actually good to be in the place where we cant do anything but depend on God.
I sat still and listened for a few ticks and this is what i heard: Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
all i can tell you is to just rejoice that God is molding you. He has not given up on you, he aint thru with you. hold on.
