[__ Prayer __] Prayer

[Guest]

Unfortunately, prayer has been a hard discipline for me to 'succeed' at. Mind you, it is not that I do not pray - I just know that I could have a richer prayer life then what I currenlty have.

Anyways - I am asking for prayer for myself - I realize that this seems selfish, and forgive me if it is.

I know the Lord has called me into the ministry. In fact, for 5 years I was a youth pastor - and like most youth pastors - I got burned out. I know the Lord is calling me back into the ministry after being away from full-time staff ministry.

However, I do not know where I am called to serve yet - and it is this waiting time that I struggle with. Always have. What is also perplexing to me in all of this is at the same time that I feel called back to fulltime staff youth ministry, my current secular job is going well as all - in fact, I should be promoted in about 6 months or less.

So, I get confussed and somewhat depressed at times. Do I concern myself with my secular job and go after the promotion. do I sit and wait for the Lord to show me the ministry position He has for me, how much do I actively parcitipate in searching for a youth ministry position. And then, of course, doubt creeps in about the whole thing.

Forgive me for the selfish prayer request.

You have my prayers Alone. Sometimes it is difficult to make decisions. Have tried fasting and going on a little retreat, where you can talk to God? God bless you Brother.


May God bless, Golfjack

I have prayed for you, aLone. I believe that God guides us...even when we are unsure of the way. Trust Him to lead you, I mean have faith that even if the answers are not crystal clear that He is directing your path. Remain prayerful, and obedient to His will, but know that He is leading you now...even when you can not see up ahead. Sometimes, in my own life, I do not know which direction to take, but when I look back I can see the lighted path of providence gleaming brightly behind. It's a faith builder, a comfort, a rest, and a miracle of provision from GOD-PROVIDER. I hope this encourages, and I trust that God will hear our prayers in the matter. The Lord bless you.

Father in heaven....Thank you so much for this forum and the friends I have made here...You truly have blessed me and Scott has truly been a blessing...Father I thank you for the way you have gifted him to defend your word and for the love he shows towards folks here...I thank you for the way his family took in those kids for medical help and I thank you for where you will ultimately place ''your'' servant...As I type I am thinking of the song ''Jesus'', there is something about that name''...Why? I don't know, but it is making me smile and has filled my heart with joy...I Pray that you will fill scotts life and his home with your joy....Father it is also very cool 8-) in the way you providentially work in the life of ''your'' children and so remind Scott of this truth and get it from his brain to his heart.....We look forward to hearing the good news of where you will place him and ''remind him to Pray''...We love you God and we pray in the name of Yeshua, Amen....

Dear Father, I pray for aLoneVoice, as he feels that you are calling him back into full-time ministry. I ask you to give him wisdom as to where you want him to go, as well as wisdom as to whether he should invest time in going after the promotion until he feels you have shown him where you have called him. Please give him patience to wait on you and your timing, as well as peace that passes all understanding as to how this situation has come about and will turn out. Keep his trust in you strong Father, in Jesus Name amen.
