I had put this in another thread but decided to move it to a new thread.

I just want to Thank and Praise God for all he has done for me over the past 38 yrs when he came into my heart. I am not always deserving of the love and kindness he has shown me but he gave it to me without any hesitation because that is kind of God he is.
 
Giving God the Glory he is due.

I have been dealing with a sciatica nerve giving me problems the last 3 weeks. Monday night I asked the Lord to work on this for me. I started my prayer with I have not because I ask not. I asked him to hear my plea. I have been 99% pain free the last two days. Thank you Lord.

He hears us and grants our request before we even ask.

You forgot the, "if he deems it to be the right thing for us"...I've been suffering with medical issues for months, one clears another takes its place...no matter how much i hurt, beg or plead. I guess sufference is what is deemed best for me at the moment. Sorry to be a downer and i was raised in the church but lately, the phone line seems to be disconnected.
 
Our prayers are always answered. Sometimes the answer is "No".

None of us 'deserve' God's love. He gives it freely even to the undeserving if they will but accept it.

He keeps me around to use as a bad example of a human being and to show that His love even extends to me.

Prayers and Peace to all.

What I forgot was "in His time".

I'm sorry for you my brother. I will pray for you.

It's not a downer at all. It's what you're going through and it's real. We all need prayer, we all need God's grace and mercy.

God bless you.

Thirty years ago this month I returned to the faith of my childhood. I'm hard headed. It took me longer than some to get there.

I had a good life prior to that, but it's funny how life circumstances beyond just the material things can bring us to a point where everything just looks gray and two dimensional. I think we are wired to miss that other dimension. Some of us dismiss that longing, others find a substitute. Some of us go looking for it.

I think a lot of us have that same experience. I tried a number of different denominations (due to whichever current wife at that time was going to). This time around with this wife when the twins were born we wanted a 'church home' to raise them in. Tried out several, including the one I was raised in, but the fit wasn't there. Finally found a church that would accept me and now 25 years later they still haven't kicked me out and even allow me to co-lead an adult bible study on Sunday mornings. Some folks might think that is heretical.

But, The Father, Son and Holy Spirit don't reside in a church building. It has been made clear to us that our body is the Temple of God and that Heaven is within us. We must worship him in Spirit and in Truth. Everything else is just man made trappings to make us feel good about giving up Sunday morning to go to church instead of the golf course or fishing or the shooting range.

I have never been worthy and have seldom behaved as someone deserving of any blessings. Why he keeps me around is a constant puzzle to me.

If you are above ground, you have a purpose.

God has been good to me. I fail him daily.
He makes a way for me, when it seems I can't go on. When the days are dark he lights my path.
Though I stumble and fall he has never forsaken me. He has brought me through many trials in the last 3 years, he surrounds me with those who petition him on my behalf. God is good, all the time.
Though I am often plagued with doubt, he always holds my hand.
God has taken, and he has restored. He has torn down, and he has built up. When I think of these things I am reminded of my earthly father, and ultimately my heavenly father. How much more his desire that I follow him. He holds tomorrow and there is hope in no other. I am thankful to God for everything he has wrought in my life. All I have I owe to him.
