We are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us. We often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don’t know what to do, we never give up. In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again.

I am currently in a basement apartment in a house that in the cooler/cold months is very damp and cold. I am not looking forward to the winter at all. Do I apply for a rent to geared income apartment? Which means being put on a waiting list. Other wise the market rents are too expensive for my pension and there doesn’t seem to be any affordable options out there.
Cathy,
Jesus you are Jehovah Jireh my provider. You alone know what Cathy needs. Please provide a low-income apartment for her. She needs to be out of the damp cold basement apartment. Your word tells us to ask & we shall receive. Please provide a comfortable place for Cathy that she can afford. She is standing on Jeremiah 29:11. You have great plans for her. Plans to prosper & not for harm. In your perfect timing show her where to move. AMEN

The promise that I think of often (amongst others) is Luke 11:13
“If you then, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him”
@Steph – I am sorry that you are struggling with anxiety. Please try and meditate and saturate yourself with God’s promises on anxiety. The Bible says be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer petition and supplication to make your requests, known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart. Believe in God‘s promises He will never leave us, nor forsake us, nor will He ever turned back on a promise. Cast your cares on God trust in Him. He will deliver you.
Personal word of advice is to watch pastors on TV who you may connect with search for sermons specifically on anxiety that always seems to help me when I’m going through something
God bless you Steph!
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

Please pray for physical healing in my body.

It all limits what I can do. I feel like my life is all about living with pain and I can’t do anything to enjoy life. So then the physical pain spills over to mental and emotional and spiritual pain too. I am tired of pain in my life. Thank you.
I am praying for you ladies.

His Grace is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9
My daughter has disorders eating and weight is dropping off her. We are waiting for medical help while she denies there is anything wrong. I struggled with bulimia when I was younger and all the insecurities are surfacing. Leaning heavily on His Grace and trusting that he loves her even more than I do.
I’m praying for you and your daughter…I’m praying God’s comfort on you both; I’m praying for the medical team who will guide you and your precious daughter. God loves you both more than you can ever imagine.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, and love, and of sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
Having been in a car accident 2 weeks ago (car totaled, but no physical injuries, amazingly), I ask for prayer that I can release the fear of being in a car, especially as a passenger.
Praying that God will remove your anxiety related to getting in a car, especially as a passenger. He will give you his peace and clamness. When you are getting in a car, think of a special song that reminds you of God and his love for you. God’s got this. Sing it out or just sing it to yourself and focus your thoughts on Him and not on your situation. One of my favorites is At Your Name or My Jesus. I will continue to lift you up.
I understand you’re apprehension! I, too, was in a horrible car accident— sustained many serious injuries. It took quite a bit of time for me to feel brave behind the wheel. I’ll keep you in my prayers… Yes! Pray before you leave, sing and rejoice as you drive!
You’ve got this! 🙂
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. my verse at baptism in 1988, He never fails to his word is true. When we carried our first child and got a diagnosis that meant our child would not be viable after birth, He was there until at 40 weeks we delivered and she lived for 20 minutes, we dedicated her to the Lord, she sighed and entered heaven. That was in 1991 and He is as faithful today as He was during that time. I praise God for His faithfulness, for never leaving or forsaking us.
Those who fear the Lord are secure. He will be a refuge for their children.
Proverbs 14:26
Pray that my (4) adult children will know Him and He will know them, that they will lead their families to follow You. Amen. Amen.
Praying for your children, and their families to be filled with His Light and love!
