Prayer

[marichino_freedom]

I'm not sure why, but I didn't want to post this in the prayer requests forum.

I need prayer.

I feel like I've been a terrible friend to people. I feel that I need to glorify God more. I feel that I have been wrong in so many ways.

I guess I need a general prayer that God will forgive me for anything and everything I've ever done.

I've been a bit sad lately, and sometimes it feels that God can't hear me above everything else that is going on. So, I thought I'd ask for a little help.

How many times is God supposed to forgive us? I know he forgives us if we are truly sorry, but sometimes I wonder if he has reached his limit.

Maybe I'm just overthinking things; maybe I feel like this because I'm sad. All in all, I just need a prayer.

Thanks.

God bless you all.

Dont feel sad. You seem like a very nice person. I'm sure that you are a great friend.

On on the topic of forgiveness...The Bible says there is only one unpardonable sin. If you are truely sorry when you pray for forgiveness, the Lord WILL forgive you. The devil is the one that is telling you otherwise. He doesn't want you to trust the Lord. But give him a black eye. Tell he you ARE forgiven and that you WILL trust the Lord. Satan can't stand it when a christian asks the Lord for help. Don't let that ole devil get you down. Just hit him right back with the WORD and he will flee.

I hope this encouraged you some. I will pray for you as well. God Bless you!!

"When the weakest of christians pray the demons and devils tremble"

[marichino_freedom]

Don't worry...we all hit them from time to time. But hey, that's what other believers are here for is to encourage!

[marichino_freedom]

I've been feeling a little like that lately and I was reminded today in church that we have the authority to go before God's throne with boldness. Not because of anything we've done, but on the basis of the sacrifice of Christ. Because He died, you can and will be forgiven. Like Sis Trev said, there's only 1 unpardonable sin and that's blasphemy against the Holy Ghost .The devil is the best liar in the world. Anything he says to you wont be the truth or it will be a warped version of the truth. You just have to laugh in his face, take a stand and tell him where to go- ho hates it when a christian does that. You'll be in my prayers <gives a big hug>.

Y'know, believe it or not, I am in the same position. Here is a verse for you:


How many times is God supposed to forgive us? I know he forgives us if we are truly sorry, but sometimes I wonder if he has reached his limit.


GALATIANS 2:21
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Oh Boo yaa satan.

So then, there you have it.

Funny thing, today we went to Tampa for church instead of usually having at home, and I felt like it was a real encouragement for me, as I have recently been going through the same thing. Here is another verse:


GALATIANS 3:2
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

What an encouragement! THe pastor said that God makes promises that only He can keep, and when you have a problem, find a promise for that. Actually, read Galations chapters 2 and 3, as that deals with faith vs. works. Those are also the chapters that were used in todays service. They were a real encouragement, as that is what I have been struggling with.

I felt like I was getting no where with my prayers, that I really wasn't getting anywhere, that I was going more through motions than anything. But I have realized that it is just a trick of the devil, and that he is trying to trick me out of my salvation, and the joy of my salvation. Don't let him do that. Rejoice, get glad, get into revival, cause the heat dies when out from a heat source.

i guess i'm just worrying about the decisions i'm going to have to make soon...
