Prayer Request

05-03-2009, 08:06 PM

I have been going through a lot of stuff lately and I really feel like I have no one to turn to. God has always been a huge part of my life but lately I have been so disgusted with my situation I don't even feel like praying anymore. I know I need to but its just so hard when I'm so mad at God. If any of you are the praying type please include me in your prayers. Pray for me and my family. I am not ok right now and I need all the help I can get. I don't care what God you pray to just please pray.

Times are tough for all right now and I am surprised that Yahooka has never had a prayer request thread (at least not that I could find). So please anyone who feels they need prayer put your prayer requests here. I know I'm not the only one here who believes in the power of prayer. God bless you and thank you.

Without wanting to deviate from the thread...I feel like I should add that maybe you should not put so much faith in god but more faith in yourself? If there is a god, did he not give you all the faculties you need to persevere and realise? It is all very well to prey, but what could be of more use is to plan and seek and actualise rather than hopeing god will do it for you, or others. It irks me somewhat that so many prey for salvation - either for others or themselves, yet make much less effort toward actually doing something practical about their situation or the situation of others.

The extreme form of this sentiment is 'The secret', whereby in essense, it is claimed that all the poor and starving, or crippled of the world are that way because they 'desired it' - so the universe gave them what they wanted.

A 'cult' like philosophy indeed and quite deluded in its design.

I recall a prior thread where you spoke of much difficulties Stoney. It is difficult to know what to say other than just persevere and let time take its course. Changes will always occur no matter what and while you may be suffering now, tommorow will always be a new day...step by step. Shit happens and then it dries up and blows away or is used on crops. It may be some use for you to appreciate what you do have even if so much has fallen around you for the time being. Hugs and good luck. If you ever need to talk, pm.

Its kinda hard to appreciate what I have when I'm living in my car. I posted this thread because I know there are people here who do believe in a higher power and who believe in the power of prayer. I am doing everything in my power to change things in my life and it seems like no matter what I do its never good enough.

If you don't pray or don't believe in the power of prayer then that's fine, but please don't suggest that my life is like this because I haven't tried to make my life any other way. I wake up every morning and do everything in my power to do things right. I am not relying on others to change my situation or to pray for my salvation even. It is a simple prayer request.

I know there are others on this board who pray and who truly need prayer. Just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean that others don't. Thank you for your kind wishes and your advice but in my situation I am already doing everything I can. This thread was not posted solely for me and my problems but anyone on here who thinks they need prayer.

Loving Kindness your direction. Sorry you are not having an easier time Stoney. I hope that something can materialize for you to change the situation you are in. You are a Co-Creator, I hope 1+1 will get you 2.

SweetSativa · 05-04-2009, 02:44 PM

You're in my prayers, dear.

Are there local resources you can turn to to help you out? Have you asked for help from shelters (if there are any)? Social Services? A church? There's nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it. My first stop would be SRS (as scared as people sometimes are to get involved with them, they are a good resource).... unless you have family or friends to turn to. Tell them you're living in your car and why and that you need some help getting on your feet.

Things will turn around. It's fine to be angry with God... just don't lose faith in yourself.

Much love and Blessings~

im goin on my knees right now

**SageTree** · 05-04-2009, 02:52 PM

Fantastic Turm.....

That goes for me too.

05-04-2009, 03:39 PM

You guys are awesome! All that I can ask for is prayer. I have clothes and don't really need food. There is a place down here on the drag and you can go get a free hot meal. I will figure things out but till then if I could just get people to agree with me in prayer that should be more than enough. So thank you very much!

Again anyone who feels they need prayer please leave your prayer requests. This isn't a thread just for me I know I'm not the only one having problems right now....

Here is a blessing from the pope, himself, Stoney. I don't pray, myself, but I'll be thinking good thoughts for you. This, like all other bad situations, will get better. I promise.

i'll bet it would help to stop being "mad at god".

no matter how grim your situation, stay focused and don't become self-centered and bitter about it.

my version of a prayer will be going out for you and anyone else in a pinch tonight.

05-07-2009, 04:03 PM

Ok for those of you who have kept me in your prayers thank you so much. A friend of mine has a house with a couple separate units that are rented out monthly. Well the house is up for sale and so one of the tenants moved out which left me with a beautiful apartment

As long as I'm here it will be rent free. And it will be at least a couple months before the house sells so I should have enough time to get on my feet.

I have had a job all this time dealing poker but I was dealing out of the strip clubs. Not a bad gig by any means. Believe me I loved my job but as some of you know I have others I have to answer to and they were not happy with me working at the clubs. Anyway I found another job. I picked up a job at one of my favorite mexican places. I worked a 3 hour shift today and walked with 60$ in my pocket. Praise God things are looking up. There is a light at the end of this tunnel maybe this time it won't be a train?

Things were pretty grim for me about a week ago. I am in way more pain now that I'm waiting tables again. I know that means I'm gonna need another operation just that much sooner but hey one problem at a time right?

I am keeping you in my prayers now that I myself am praying again. I pray that God will bless you in ways unimaginable.... And I have faith that He will.

**SageTree** · 05-07-2009, 05:39 PM

Have you considered looking into subsidized govt healthcare and getting that operation taken care of early?

Welfare isn't a handout to be abused. Ideally it's to help people get back on their feet and back to a stable place.

Don't forget where it says God helps those who help themselves. This is just as important as any thing. Getting assistance is there for you. God gave us the intellect to start that instititution, which follows the precept of being the 'brothers' keeper.

I'm glad that things are going better for you and I hope that you continue to solidify your base and build a sound safe place to dwell.

lol

Whooohoooo! So cool.

Adult healthcare is hard to come by in this country

That will probably be changing. I'm not so sure we're not headed for something a little radical in the other direction. I've always thought that it was a little screwed up that the only way you could get medical assistance was if you are pregnant or disabled. There is a local clinic who helps people pay for necessary procedures when they cannot afford it. I guess talking to individual clinics may be beneficial. If anyone knows of other resources to help adults pay for medical expenses, either post it or drop an e-mail.

You got it Stoney

I really really hope things start working out for you. Health wise, love wise and work wise for beginners.

Heres some sunshine comin your way

**SageTree** · 05-08-2009, 08:02 AM

A few years ago my wife had an operation for endimetrosis and got some assistance. I"ll ask here where she saught help.

Psilocychosis · 05-12-2009, 09:04 PM

Not really the praying type Stoney, but i hope life swings back in your direction. Just by weaving through this post i can see that you have an array of support from many members. I really hope things turn around for you. And please don't lose your faith, if its religion you bind to, endure. Best wishes.

rollingthunder · 05-13-2009, 04:19 PM

Stoney, my prayers are with you. Never lose your faith, you will always get to where you want to be =)
