[__ Prayer __] Prayer for my peace of mind

[D4Christ]

Hi guys,

This prayer request is specfically for me. I think sometimes I get so wrapped up how hard some situations in my life are that I either forget or more often than not feel unworthy to ask God the Father for help. But to date, the way I've been going hasn't worked out too well, so I'm not only asking for His help but for the prayers of my righetous Chrsitian brothers and sisters.

1 Peter 3

8 Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. 9 Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it. 10 For the Scriptures say,
“If you want to enjoy life
and see many happy days,
keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies.
11 Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns his face
against those who do evil.

I'm having some problems following specifc parts of the instructions above. It's hard not lash out at those who hurt you, especially when you are married to them. The concept of sleeping with the enemy becomes all too real for me. I know I married the wrong person but how long should I suffer for it? And more importantly how do I feel peace in the midst of it?

All I want is peace...for myself....my children. I want the petty emotional attacks to stop. I want to enjoy life...is that too much to ask?

Perhaps I'm not turning all of my cares over to God. But I'm not so sure I know how to do that.

Just tired of being tired....

[Danus]

Lord thank you for the opportunity to reach out in your name; to know you, the only one who truly knows us.

Some times we are weak, and we are tired. Teach us to turn to you, and build on your gift of faith as we show the mercy you've shown to us, to others in our lives. Help us to see them as you see them, with your will and not our own.

We know, as you have said; that in this life we will have trouble. People will let us down, but you will not. You have over come that which we struggle with. Help us to see and be reminded of that; that our strength lies in your overcoming and so we to will over come through you, and not of our own; but that others may come to know you through us.

In this we will have joy, peace, strength, and we will be of good cheer for you have over come the world.
