man...



please pray that god answers your prayer....



the problems still remain...even after ALL this time...

You're always in my prayers Sand...I have faith that He hears our prayers.

Patience.

Hang on, Sand. In a way, we all are in the same boat in this world!!!

No one can never say it's not rough out there! Why not start by thanking "God" for the little blessings you already have???

Honey, we ALL have stories. We ALL have difficulties. Your youth will not last forever.

The victim mask you are wearing isn't pretty. Take the mask off. Give yourself some credit. You want to be strong... and you want to be positive. Stop blaming the world, God, your parents, and everyone else. Be strong and courageous... and believe that God can do all things.

It sounds like your father also wears a mask- a religious mask. Underneath that mask is pain and hurt. HAVE MERCY. He is afraid and probably has a performance based idea of God.

Praise the Lord. Thank Him for His mercy and goodness. Then joy will come in the morning. You have been SAVED from hell. Isn't that enough to praise Him?

Have some mercy for others- for then the Lord will show you mercy! Your negativity is like poison... and the bitterness you have towards other people is like drinking this same poision you wish on others. You are giving yourself spiritual cancer.

No the rest of us also gets to wait, because that is what faith is. Faith is believing before you see. I know this is not easy, but most Christians must go through it. When you say you have faith , it means you believe that it has already happened.
OK, let me give you a Scripture that proves this:Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things (even when you pray for the Holy Spirit) whatsoever ye pray and ask for (meaning anything ), believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (So FIRST you must believe that you really have received , then you shall have)

So when you pray for the Holy Spirit, you must receive the Holy Spirit and then thank God that HE has sent it to you. The , real faith would act upon that fact that the Holy Spirit is now in you. Open your mouth and speak........the Lord will fill it with tongues.

Sometimes we wait for things a bit longer, but if you have faith, you will not say that it has not happened, because God answers the minute you pray and receive. Its the manifestation that sometimes takes a bit longer, but that does not make the fact untrue that the Lord has in fact already fulfilled your request.

God told Abraham about Isaac and it took many many years (20 I think) for Isaac to come. Abraham had to wait in faith. He actually was not always IN FAITH, but he doubted as well. That is why Ishmael was born.....Ismael came because they doubted God for a while.

So pray and ask for God's guidance and allow Him to teach you and you will grow. Read the Bible and pray for faith: God gives faith as a gift.
hope it helps
