**Do you sometimes experience a moment of anger when it all boils over… you explode with anger? http://marriageuncensoredtalk.com/love_busters/angry-outbursts/
Vesuvius? A coal mine blast? A Fourth of July finale? Nope, only Sarah blowing her top again! She’s angry and she’s letting everybody know it.
When Sarah was a little kid, she discovered that temper tantrums helped her get her own way - sometimes. So she’s been using the “little kid” approach ever since and still gets results with it. In the face of her anger, other people give in to her. She wins arguments but loses friends too! (And others like her may lose husbands, wives, or other relatives).
The worst thing about our losing our tempers is the things we do and say when we lose them. “In your anger do not sin,” says Ephesians 4:26. The trouble is that usually we do sin when we’re angry, don’t we? Scripture in Ephesians 4 also warns against the use of bad language, bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, abusiveness, and all kinds of malice. (This list brings the Greek words originally used down to terms we are familiar with). When we lose our tempers, somehow one or more of these things pop out, don’t they?
PUTTING THE NEW SELF IN CONTROL
The longer we have had a bad habit, the harder it is to overcome. However, Ephesians 4:22-24 tells Christians to “put off the old self,” and “put on the new self.”
When we allow the Holy Spirit to control our actions, we put the “new self” in control and get the victory even over life - long habits. But as long as we allow the old self to control our actions, we may find it difficult to overcome such things as temper tantrums, bad language, smoking, drinking, complaining, faultfinding, and stretching the truth.
This advice was given to persons who have received Jesus Christ as their Savior and have the Holy Spirit in them. In order to have this “new self” in the first place, we have to make sure that we have truly received Christ. To do that, read John 3 until it gets through to you, or check out on internet: http://www.journeyofjoy.com
BIBLICAL RESOURCES
Some people may solve the anger problem by “counting to ten.” For a Christian, however, an even better method is to send up a quick call to the Lord to help you control that temper. When you begin feeling as if you’re going to make like Vesuvius, ask the Lord right then to help you to be like Jesus and control yourself.
Ask the Lord to help you forgive everyone who has ever hurt you. Then with His help proceed to do it. In this way you can be delivered from the deep - down anger in your soul that may pour out upon others at the least provocation. See Ephesians 4:32.
James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Often things that make us angry are temptations from Satan. Whether temptation be from Satan or from our own worldly reaction, the solution is the same: “Come near to God, and he will come near to you” (James 4:8).
When we depend on God’s help, we gain victory over losing our tempers. Each victory draws us closer to gaining control over our tempers, our lips, and our actions. Christians who exhibit such control can be testimonies for Jesus Christ - and have much better relationships with other people!
~Father in Heaven,
Help me to allow Your Holy Spirit to work in my heart freeing me from the habits of my old life. Make me more like You, I pray in Jesus name, amen.
Questions: What is your first response when you become angry? What is the solution to angry reactions? How do we draw closer to God?

Muriel this is yet another devotional that hit home for me. I have a trouble temper.Have had one for many years. I have arranged to talk to someone about just this issue. I will be going next week for my first appointment GOD WILL.
December 7th, 2007 at 5:31 am
After reading this e-mail I wanted to cry. Yesterday my husband and I had a fight before he left the house. We both lost control and the usual pattern errupted. I still have resentment because he committed adultery and was not honest about it. He always uses the excuse that he can’t remember. He uses the same excuse when I confront him on anything and it triggers a big response. I keep thinking it is him who needs to change (and I believe he does) but that is none of my business. I need to change…I am so used to going from 0 to 100 in moments…that I need to slow down and not react but be slow to anger. If he calls me a name…I seem to react even quicker. I know with God’s help I can overcome…not just survive this way of living…and I know this e-mail spoke more to me than others in the past. Most of my anger as a child was turned inward…and now it seems to come out…not a pretty sight…but most of it still gets turned inward on me and I start to think it is all my fault…if I could only be a better…child…wife…mother than this would not have happened…I want to change… Please pray for me as I know this will not be easy…but with God’s help I can do all things…including this. Thanks

What a wonderful devotional. One, I believe will help us all. Anger is a good tool if we use it the right way. It will protect us from many things happening to us if used correctly., The key is not to sin with anger, meaning not to lose control or hold things in our heart that turn into bitterness that causes changes in our hearts, minds and bodies…most of all our souls. When we are hurt it is so very hard not to react or hold things in our hearts. Chris I was praying for you just yesterday and this devotional confirmed it. The Lord said to tell you, “there is someone or others that have injured you and hurt you so terribly that you have internaliaed the pain that has gone into unforgiveness and has affected your body chronically with Artheritis. Today, the Lord said to go back into your memeory and start forgiving those who have hurt you. Father, in the name of Jesus you told me to tell Chris this and I’ve obeyed your voice. Many are feeling her pain and we are interceding for her. As I was praying for her on yesterday you said with a small calm voice she can change the rememdy of so much pain…if she would just for give those who has tranpassed her and injured her. I know the pain and I already know what they have done to her, but I said in my word.
AND WHENEVER YOU STAND PRAYING, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST ANYONE, FORGIVE HIM, THAT YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN MAY ALSO FORGIVE YOU YOUR TRESPASSES. MARK 11:25
Chris, please the Lord knows. Find it in yor heart to forgive the individual or individuals. As I was praying for you, I also realized I too still had it in my heart about a relative who injured me badly. I thought I had forgiven him, butthe ill feeling i felt about the thought indicated I still had unforgiveness im my heart. I began to pray. Anger roots betterness and brings so many other little relatives (spirits) with him. Chris have a good day and a better day. It may not leave right away, but with a ure heart of forgiveness it will leave.
As far as our husbands hurting us, what we need to stop doing when we get upset with them rightfully so sometimes…that we don’t pull up the sin or the very thing we said we forgive them for. We want to keep throwing it up in their faces about the painful event. If the Lord told you to stay with him and build your relationship then we need to stop repeating the event as it is repeated in our brain and build up the broken pieces, instead of repeatedly knocking it down.
The Lord gifted us women to be the builders of our homes and that includes our husband because this area he takes us back to
the motherhood inside of us. This teaches them and shows them we are trying to forgive.
This alone will keep your marriage under a strain. We are women and we want to keep reminding them of the pain. But when the Lord forgives us …he forgets and throws it into the lake of NOMORE!
SO TODAY, TO ALL OF YOU who are struggling in this area of forgiveness and is trying to build your relationship back……AND THIS IS HARD. SAY TODAY, I WILL NOT EVER BRING UP THE PAINFUL AREA (WHATEVER IT IS) TO MY HUSBAND AGAIN. WATCH THE HEALING PROCESS BEGIN WHEN YOU DO THIS…FOR YOU AS WELL AS HIM. IT CAN BE DONE.
We are apporaching a new year and we don’t want to take this over into the year with us. Let’s speak life in every dead place of our lives and move on to more important vital things the Lord want us to do here on this earth. I am so sorry this is so long, but this is a spirit that will keep us in bondage forever and ever and you are the only one who has the key to release yourself.
Father, release every chain off of your daughters right now in Jesus name. Amen!
I LOVE YOU LADIES.
REMEMBER: ANGER GOES INTO A TORMENTING SPIRIT FOR YOU AND OTHERS IF YOU ALLOW IT TO.

This really hit home today. Due to our business failing and my husband (and now me) not being able to secure a job, we are in deep financial trouble. I see myself becoming very resentful toward my husband for all of this, for the lack of security, taking me away from my young children to have to go back to work, to the tension in the house, to the bill collectors calling. Logically I know it is not his ‘fault’. We always said — Evil was attacking our finances because our marriage was SO strong and of God that Satan could never penetrate that. Well — he is now. I broke down yesterday. I did everything Eph. 4 says NOT to do. I yelled and belittled and just went off on my husband. I did finally calm down and truly asked for forgiveness, of both my husband and my Lord. I pray desperately to God for His devine protection right now, for myself and my family. I pray He enlist His angels to fight off Satan and his evil — I can’t believe the attacks we are getting.
Thank you so much for today’s devotioinal. It was perfectly on time. God Bless.

Good Morning,
Carla, I am going to pray with you right now. Lord, I understand the whole stepchild relationship. Father, Carla and I come before your throne this early morning. May our prayer be a sweet smelling sacrifice in not only prayer but how we obey and display our image of you. I ask that Carla, can put aside any inner PAST arguments and go FORWARD in your, indwelling of the Holy Spirit. I ask that Carla’s heart burn with the candle of hope. You blessed us with that in yesterday’s devotional. Remind and abide in us the hope for the future from deep into our prayer chamber and marrow of the bones.
Lord, give Carla peace, as she goes and sit’s somewhere in her home, alone, to have stillness and be filled with from you and with you. Lord, I ask your presence, be felt as Carla. is the Bigger Person, even when her daughter comes walking in. Take away the word STEP! and let Carla and her daughter take baby steps together of love and faith. I pray Carla continue’s to pray the whole time and in her heart and ask you to be with her, to keep the fire of the burning bush within her. Jesus, TAKE THE WHEEL, Carla stay at your seat/post and fastened and buckled in truth. Let this 18 year old girl..honor and not be so angry and take it out on Carla. I, ask Lord, for you too pen Carla’s eyes to you Jesus. I ask that Carla take steps to want you as a personal saviour. We are powerless without you. We are POWERFULL, with you!! Carla, and Jesus..I am happy we can gather here an submit these angry and bitter harbored feelings. You adopted us and engrafted us into your kingdom. I am not your stepdaughter, I am your child!! We pray this in your mighty name Jesus!!!..Love Carla and Toni
Carla, I will be praying for you. You have so many resources to make her and you comfortable. I don’t know if she is a Christian but if she is sit and pray together to remove this hostility. If she is not you pray and act like Naomi…even in her loss she became bitter but the Lord removed that veil and so much redemption and love came forth. Ruth.was the daughter-in-law and she wanted what her mother-in-law had. Carla, with your heart open, ask the Lord,,,do not let anger walk through that door! Annoint and Appoint this Divine visit. If I was there I would start making gingersnaps or pumpkin pie as those are the fragrances that the flesh loves to smell. Let Carla feel welcome..remember you cannot do it without the Lord. You must cling to him and let the Holy Spirit indwell! Call upon him..sing in your heart..slow down and move peacefully as Jesus is with you. Love Toni..Keep us posted and I know even one small ray of hope during this visit can begin the eternal torch within all of your hearts for forgiveness and forgetting. Past belongs to Satan and the Present is with Jesus. Close..the door..to the enemy and open your heart with Love. We will al be praying for you and to lay aside the fleshly anger and root of biterness. Your sister in Jesus..Toni
Joy..Adultery is an ugly word in action. You are faith in action, as you did forgive, but did not, forget. My mom continued to go through this after my dad died. Joy, you take that past and crush it with you foot to remind you that action is what Jesus did for us at the cross and promised in Genesis. You said he forgot about it..! Let it go as words are cheap without the word of God…empty and a lie. I just told Carla to go sit and ask the Holy Spirit to give the strength and Joy as that is who you are..Joy!!! Father, I just ask that you take that pain of the past and let her come to you and tell her and teach her your ways. The way, of forgiveness, the pain of nails with you on the cross completed us. Paul, was out in the crowd that demanded and commanded your death. He might have been in the crowds that mocked and belittled you. The adultery, of Israel committed, when you gave them everything and they went after other God’s..PURE ADULTERY!! However, you have engrafted us into the fold and they were invited before us. You met Paul/Saul and you blinded him in darkness, as that is where he was, and did surgery within the eyes of his heart. Father, take the crust the scab off, no more secret bandaids that mask. Expose the healing and the light for an eternal goal and a daily praise if it is only one small thing. We are all gratefull, Lord and thank you this early morning. In Jesus name, we pray..Joy,Carla and Toni ..and Chris..where are you my sweet girl?
Chris you are up early and I hope you did get rest. Oh, yes..even not sleeping can make you angry as your body clock sets the alarm off at anything! Take this Lord into captivity.
After, I read this my son called to verify his visit with his wife next week. He, is a businessman, but still my little boy. I, said something and he took it somewhere else and out of nowhere he started on why we aren’t going there. They are coming to visit however, will spend Christmas at my daughter-in-laws mother’s home. We will be with my mom and brother in Ohio. I know he loves me and I stand on that firmly. Because, like Dorothy said,”There is no place like home.”
I love you Glory Girls saith Our Lord!!! His gentleness and longsuffering are good for the achy and broken bones of life. His Love and righteousness dwell from within. The goodness of the most powerful God..King of King..gives freely. The self-control, whether it be through, anger, alcohol, food, drugs, as the list goes on. Let your definition of true rest withinin give us peace, so that our souls can feel the burn. This will produce the tree that is rooted in Love and the growth of Joy as we are here on earth but for awhile. We perform not rituals or actions of deceit but we became your image..and we want others to look at us and say, “You look exactly like your Father!” AMEN!!! JESUS!!!
December 7th, 2007 at 7:39 am
Carla, this is the known typo Queen of mistakes. I asked for your eyes to be open and I went back to read but this what came out. I know you are a Christian, as you know who is in charge. Please fogive me and put your daughter..not step..in place.
…Open the eyes of the heart to her daughter Lord and she would use the word step as an entrance into your message of salvation! Carla I pray this for your daughter.

Amy anytime a marriage is strong know that the enemy is going to do everything he can to destroy the unit. this is his assignemnt. Strong marriages raises up strong shildren. Once he theenemy breaks doen the walls of strngth, trust and positive things that a marriage should have it becomes a weak wall with a hole in it and everything it continusously hit upon it to tear the wall completely down. the enemy really doesn’t want our marriages, he wants our children and what the marriage produces….UNITY. I have taken so much believe me…and What keptd me always in place when I didn’t want to be was a still small crying voice saying so deep in my heart….”DAUGHTER, WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN.” “IF YOU WOUlD JUST STAY IN PLACE I PROMISE YOU I WILL PROTECT THE CHIDLREN. I KNEW THERE WAS A BIGGER PICtRE TO THE DESTRUCTION OTHER THAN MY MARRIAGE, It is so hard to stay in position or in place.
But I look at it all now at how the Lord is taking all of that brokenness and he is going to use it for his Glory and his Kingdom for the unchurched….the hurting and painful remnant that has been hurt with everything. Trust me, we have everything in our unit…..but the Lord has been so very good to us and has brought us out of it all. HALLELUJAH! I love you all and hold on and try to stay in position if the Lord tell you to.
MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND,
AND I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE,
INDEED I HAVE SPOKEN IT:
I WILL ALSO BRING IT TO PASS,
I HAVE PURPOSED IT:
I WILL ALSO DO IT.
ISAIAH 46:10,11
December 7th, 2007 at 7:50 am
My father had a bad temper and as a child I inherited it. As an adult I used it strongly until I became a believer in Jesus. Over time the desire to be all I could be for Him, soon released the desire in me to lose my temper. Yes, it took time and years, but the Lord helped me. I prayed fervently for His help,and He was faithful, as usual, to help me.
Chris, Joyce, and Carla, I am praying that you will seek the Lord’s help in prayer, as the author of this devotion suggests. Read this devotion over and over until it sinks in. It is no coincidence that the Lord led you here today. We are spiritual beings and must be spiritually fed. He has sent you “manna” from Heaven today. Let him feed you. He loves you and wants you to have better relationships with those you love.
Joyce, I had to rely on the Lord’s strenghth to forgive my husband of adultery. The Lord will help you with this. Many times I would fall to me knees when I didn’t know how to handle him and my feelings and simply say: “Lord, I don’t know what to do with him, and this situation but you do, please help us.” He has never let me down. We will celebrate 39 years of marriage in June.
Ladies, Jesus is your friend. Talk to Him in prayer just like you speak in comments here. You will receive help no one else can give. Praise Him!!
This song came to mind as I commented:
What a Friend WhWe Have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer.
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry ev’rything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.
I am headed to my bedroom to pour out my heart to my Savior over other needs, while on my knees. We don’t have to be on our knees for Him to hear us, but when time allows, it releases feelings, and power follows. Praise Him!!
Ladies, Praying you feel His “peace” as you take your “pain” to Him today!!

December 7th, 2007 at 8:59 am
Hi ladies :-}. I am told that I was an “easy baby.” I am told that when I was a kid, I didn’t loose my temper when I got angry, I just stomped a foot once.
I am told I became “head-strong” when I was 4.
I remember an occasional huge temper tantrum, too (toward a babysitter, for instance).
I remember giving myself permission to slam doors and lose my temper when I turned 13 (because I was a teenager), and I did. I remember thinking I’d lost my excuse to have tantrums when I turned 20.
I had huge adolescent arguments with my dad from about 12 or 13 until about 17 or 18.
I remember thinking that there was something almost glamorous about having tantrums and having a quick temper—I have no idea why–and I thought everybody had them. I thought a “fiery” temper, along with green eyes and red hair (I am blond and grey-eyed)was somehow exotic.
I also thought that being mature/adult meant not feeling any feelings–being “flat” inside.
After a spell of almost never losing my temper in my early 20’s (which I felt good about), I started again having tantrums again. Most often, it is with my husband (unforgiveness)or in situations where I experience powerlessness over someone with authority (that includes even customer service people who don’t want to,or say they can’t, give me a break).
After 24 years of recovery, I still tend to stuff and stuff and then blow. I have recently had more and more situations where I have been arguing and have caught myself and backed off or let go right in the middle of a tirade, though, and it hasn’t been as hard to do as it used to be.
More often than I used to, I have also had that voice in the back of my head telling me that I don’t need to go there in the midst of things. I don’t always listen to it, but I am more aware more often, and I believe this is the Holy Spirit working with me, today.
Perhaps I now need to start working on the next step of “not going there” every time I become aware of not having to.
I am grateful for this changes creeping in :-}.
Part of my temper problem is physical. I have better control over my temper when I am on anti-depressant medication. I also have bad PMS(from 11-20 it was mostly physical, and after a miscarriage and D+C at 20, it became mostly emotional), and anti-depressants help me with that, too. Not, perfectly, but definitely better!
Almost every time I lose my temper, it is mid-cycle or just before I start; my husband has helped me to recognise this :-D! He pays closer attention to my cycles that I do!
Since my temper is tied so closely to my cycles,I am being warned that my peri-menopausal ride is probably going to be pretty rough, too. I hope not, because it is just beginning for me
December 7th, 2007 at 9:07 am
Whoa! The last several paragraphs of this post, didn’t 8-O !
This included asking for some of you to share about times when you have successfully been angry and not sinned, big and small. I could use the examples :-}!
December 7th, 2007 at 9:50 am
TO CARLA–
I saw your comment after you read my devotional, “Anger, Sin, and Trouble,” and since I am also an E-Mail counselor for the online publication that sends these devotionals, I thought I might be able to help you with your problem concerning your stepdaughter.
I understand what you are going through–for I have a similar problem with my older daughter. She has stabbed and hurt me quite often–and I never know when the next attack will come. Fortunately, I don’t have to live with her. My younger daughter is so kind, loving, and thoughtful to me though, and that’s a big comfort.
Sometimes after an attack, I wake up in the night and grieve over this situation and keep thinking of it.
Ah, I realized, this is my big mistake–the brooding! So now when her cruelty comes to my mind I draw a big X on it and start talking to my Lord and praising Him–and turn my mind to better things. So the next time she knifes you, just mentally pull the dagger out, and silently praise the Lord for His uplifting power.
And go on being nice to her and returning good for evil. It will keep you on the up side. Jesus said for us to love our enemies, to pray for them, and do good to them who despitefully use us. As you think of her or pray for her, consider this: what a miserable person my step-daughter must be with all that resentment and anger!
That will just give you the pity and spirit of love for you to pray in love and truth for her.
May the Lord bless you and lift you up, Carla. And feel free to write back to me. I care!
In Christ’s love, Dr. Muriel

A Good Mornin to ye all. Anger is a weird thing, don’t we usually just want to be heard, really understood? That seems to be my thing. I realte to the fights in the a.m., that is when my Husband and I are most vulnerable to flying off the handle. When he says something that pushes my button, I now tell him I am not going to fight with you today, and I leave the area he is in. This hwlps him knock it off. Be careful of morning conversations at our house, money is a trigger, remodeling the bathroom another, just the room we are in together, yikes! Another thing I try is “breathing” breathing in the Holy Spirirt and breathing out the anger. One more thing, and this goes for the Step children deal, Carla I have been there and still there, is I pray “Lord change me” Evellyn Christensen, of christain Women United wrote a book called the same thing, get it! When we change the people around us change, amazing.
Carla, try with all your might to act like you don’t care if she hurts you, she knows your buttons. I used to have major anxiety attacks when the kids were coming. I feel for you and right now I am going to pray. Lord please give Carla PEACE, please thru the Holy Spirit remind her of being anxious for nothing, give her a montra tha will keep her confident and calm like “Fear not, I will never leave you or forsake you”. bring it to her mind. Please Lord guard her heart for it is the wellspring of life, remind her of your mighty armour she needs to adorn herself in, putting on Jesus our strong tower. And above all else Lord give her a new love for this hurting young women, huge discernment and wisdom. Thank you God for your mercy and grace. In the name above all names, JESUS

Dr. Muriel,
Great Advice! Praise is a wonderful remedy for everything. Amen
December 7th, 2007 at 10:31 am
This is certainly a good topic. I have been blessed bascially throughout my life to be pretty easy going except for a few hundred instances - Ha!! I now try to remember when I am in moments of lashing out - this is my problem- not the person I am lashing out at. God wants me to reconcil my issues (deep within my spirit) that I have collected throughout life. Very hard to do when someone is yanking my chain. But through prayer and actually practice - sometimes when I want to “express my opinion” I just walk out of the room for a few minutes phycially or mentally and I try to look at that person as God sees them in all their frailities and humaness - JUST LIKE ME!!! It does work with practice - not always but now when I screw up I do apologise . I am only responsible for my behavoir not other peoples I am only called to love and accept them not judge. Which is so hard to do when you are hurt. But through practice and Asking God to help me in those times it is better.
ON the stepdaughter issue- deep in my heart I am being led to send my stepdaughter a Christimas Card. Her Dad and her are estranged right now - She came back into his life after 12 years Full of lots of bitterness and false info and no Spiritual guidance at all came from a party enviourment and all that goes with it she has told her dad (after we gave her a beautiful grad and set her up in an apartment - which we did from our heart and no regrets on that for sure - but for some reason -WE DO NOT KNOW WHY, ABSOLUTELY, - will not talk to her dad or I anymore told him Thank you very much for everything I dont need you - I only need my mom and sister - She also has a bad drinking problem and is only 18 yrs old. I feel to send her a card but could someone guide me on this. I do pray for her constantly and her sister and also her mom. could you please pray for them and us, Courtney, Caitlin and Deanna and thier Dad, My husband George. He is just devastated and hurt. Should I send a Card? I look forward to some answers on this. God Bless you all and I pray for you.
Mary

Mary I am certainly not an expert, but….. I would continue to send her your love. Alcohol is a drug and pollutes also stops the maturing process when one starts drinking. I am 53 and stopped drinking at age 33 but my maturity isn’t that of a 53 year old, I am still trying to catch up. So, there are just few problems here. Keep rpaying and loving her, those are the two most powerful things we have. Lord God, bless Mary and George today with wisdom, give them peace with the confusion, continue pressing in on this family Holy Spirit, don’t give them rest of your presence. Show them that they have a need for you in their lives and protect them Lord from all evil. In Jesus name.
Thought this was worth the read, particularly the scriptures. From truning Point ministries.
Evidence of Hope
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
2 Corinthians 4:17
RECOMMENDED READING
2 Corinthians 4:7-18
If you have ever had to practice football twice a day in 100 degree heat, endure nine weeks of military basic training, or live with nausea for six weeks of chemotherapy, you were likely told, “Hang in there. You can do anything for a short period of time.” The difference between “temporary” and “permanent” can seem like the difference between life and death.
The apostle Paul knew the difference between the two. There were many occasions in his Christian life where he felt terrible, but he never lost heart (2 Corinthians 4:16). In fact, his favorite phrase was “but not”: Hard-pressed, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed (verses 8-9). Paul knew that every difficulty was temporary. Even if it lasted his whole life, he still saw it as temporary compared to the hope of eternity. If he ever lost hope, it was only for the moment. His permanent perspective was eternal hope in the goodness and purpose of God.
Have you learned to separate the temporary from the permanent in your life? That distinction is evidence that hope is alive and well.
Turning Point
The future is as bright as the promises of God.

Dr. Larson..thank you for letting your own guard down and sharing from your personal experiences that Carla will be helped! Also, Mary that just wrote above?..By all means send that card and “deflate” the enemy!! Muriel is right..The Golden Rule works and when undeserved kind treatment comes their way? It does cause them to pause and think! Carla believing with you, too, You’ll make it!!
Ann Davis, God bless you for your Spirit-filled words and “Word of Knowledge” for Chris..in agreement with you for a miracle there! Chris is so deserving and have been feeling a miracle on the way, too..Please do keep writing as His Spirit leads..You see He brought me, too! And, don’t you worry about length..We were blessed with every precious word you shared here today..
Toni..We love your Passion for Him and beautiful prayers..And? You need to be my editor!!… See all my typos and mistakes..Am grateful for every last one that reminds me of my “arriving” condition and that we can’t be perfect!!
June L..God bless you for your wisdom and sharing..and for your time with us realizing how busy it is for you with your new grandson..and your precious help towards that little family..helping with the baby..
.
Joyce..Sherry gave you a beautiful suggestion “Lord, Change ME”..is an amazing marriage changing book…Evelyn Chrisensen wrote another powerful one “What Happens When Women Pray”..And we “see” the results of that daily here at Truth Media blog!
Amy, He is “Jehoveh Jireh” and will amaze you in this special time in your family..Like Michelle shared yesterday? This is an opportunity for great things..and HE will reveal them, too..We went through…and still working through a mountain here..But the lessons learned..Powerful..and the Peace, Hope and Joy He brings to every day now..the results..Praying with and for you..
Dianne :-}! Am going to tell on myself to bring you a laugh! Our Lord “can” harnass the spirited..At 4 going on 5..We were living with My Mother’s Mom..Both these ladies were strong “Steel Magnolias” and Believers..For some “discipline” they’d deemed I needed? Decided I was just going to “run away from Home” where I’d be free of discipline!! I packed my little red wagon..and in their great wisdom, they lovingly helped me reminding me that they loved me and that was “why” they’d said “NO” strongly..My Grandma packed some postcards..and said “Let’s put stamps just in case”!! We packed a sandwich, etc..They hugged me at the door and told me should I change my mind, they’d love to have me stay!…Out the door I went and the wagon and I stayed out there for awhile..When I turned around, came back in, and went to my room muttering under my breath..They told me how glad they were to see me and that had changed my mind!! Am so glad they loved me enough to “discipline” and “harnass my anger”..And the Lord lovingly does that today, too! It takes an “act of our will” to put controll of that anger under his Lordship? But am finally getting it at almost 64..So? There’s hope ladies!!!
(Also? What’s your address, Dianne..That Finnish Christmas feast sounds wonderful!! :) )
Thank you, Muriel, for a much-needed Devotional..Especially at this beautiful season when the enemy so wants us to “not” Keep Christmas..but we will…being aware of his “ploys” and sending him fleeing back to where he belongs!
And Thank you Ladies for sharing and the growth we experience in HIM each day here..Love you girls!!!!

Dear Mary..
Sherry gave a beautiful followup comment..And we all lift you for Victory in this situation. Dianne :-} can tell you that some of the things they “say” and “do” are the strong chemical in them, used by the enemy, when they lash out..Your continued forgiveness and showing viable concern..as in a special card or however our Lord shows you to “reach out” ..will bring amazing results! I saw two of my beautiful loved ones set free from alcohol..As in the Evelyn Christiansen book above? He had to change ME…My sister told me shortly before her takeoff for Paradise..That she appreciated me not judging her, but understanding the source of the illness..and that it changed her..Alanon and open AA meetings help a lot..and help the loved ones understand..Dianne can tell you there are church-based versions of those, too. But, will say this? An open AA meeting I went to years and years ago..And hearing the recovering man’s poignant words and how much it hurt his heart that day in recovery..for the pain he caused his loved ones, and himself? The Lord opened my eyes that day to “understanding”..Praying He will guide you and those other precious children..Don’t despair..There’s an old Alanon and AA slogan about “getting off the Merry-go-Round”..and when we do, and reach out for help..Miracles unfold! HE will guide you..And anyone else reading today, but maybe not feeling led “to” comment..There “is” Godly help for this situation of alcohol and drug dependency..I urge you Glory girls to continue lifting Kori and Raheal, too..Let’s P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens)..For these and others..The prayers may be the greatest gifts we give this year..For us..and likely Ann Davis’ and Amy’s situation..Michelle..We may not be able to give the traditional gifts in our circumstances? But this “Gift of Prayer” and “Gift of Holy Spirit-Led Forgiveness and Understanding” is more important in lives than material gifts..He led my spirit to write that! Let’s “Keep Christmas”! Hallelujah!!!!!

“Racheal” …. See, Toni!!!! :)
December 7th, 2007 at 3:06 pm
is it
December 7th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
Thankyou for the word today but I was wondering if it was possible that some of the deceases that some consider to be heridity (like cancer) was actually caused by anger in the soul?
December 7th, 2007 at 3:10 pm
I have a son-in-law who loses his temper with his sons. Please pray for him. His name is David. Thanks. God bless all you dear ladies.
December 7th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
It takes time to realize that it is okay to be angry, as the devo says, but to sin not. I don’t usually lose my temper “out loud” very easily but it does happen once in a while. I’m the opposite…instead of letting things out I usually hold them in which is not good either. Or after I have let it build up then things come out and it’s anger talking, not the real me. I have been working on this and ask the Lord to help me. I do not like those feelings taking up space in my life and try to work through what matters and what doesn’t. Most of the time, in the end, the issues weren’t worth the stress anyway…only a small fraction are worth really dealing with.
The main thing is to not let anger build up within ourselves because it then becomes a stumbling block to us and over time if manifested long enough it will affect our health. I’ve been there before and it’s miserable. I look back now on a situation and thank the Lord for teaching me that life is so much better when you forgive and go on. We are to depend on Him and ask Him to help us work through whatever situations come. Being anger, bitter and harboring resentment is not worth missing heaven over. Again, it’s okay to be angry but to sin not. If you stay angry it grows into an ugly monster that’s hard to get rid of. We have to try and walk in the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, kindness and self-control. It’s not easy in the beginning but gets better in time. We are all a work in progress and the Lord knows that and He knows our hearts. Much love to all…we’re all in this things together (((SMILE)))!

TONI R,
I HAVE HAD A VERY BUSY DAY TODAY. WENT TO HAVE A LUNG TEST DONE AT ONE OF THE HOSPITAL THAT MY DOCTORS ORDER LAST WEEK. IN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY I AM NOT SLEEPING, HE THINKS IT COULD BE COPD. IN DOING THESE TEST, MY BLOOD OXYEN LEVEL WITH THE THING ON THE FINGER SHOWED I WAS USING 95% OF MY OXYGEN SO THAT IS GOOD. THE REST OF THE TEST WON’T BE READY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEMS, MY DOCTOR WILL CALL ME IN BEFORE MY REGULER APPOINTMENT ON JAN. 4. EVEN DID BLOOD WORK WHICH INCLUDED BLOOD FROM THE MAIN ARTIRY IN THE WRIST TO SEE WHAT THE OXYGEN LEVELS WERE THERE.
WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE AREA WHERE I LIVE I WENT AND BOUGHT A HOT DOG AND FRIES FROM THE SHOP ACCROSS THE STREET, CAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO COOK OR MAKE A SANDWICH. THEN AFTER LUNCH, I PROPLY FELL ASLEEP IN MY RECLINER. DIDN’T WAKE UP UNTIL. SHORTLY AFTER 5pm. I REALLY MUST OF BEEN TIRED. I HAD STOPPED BY THE DRUG SHOP AFTER THE TESTING FOR MY USUALLY PRESCRIPTIONS. I HAD REALLY NEEDED THE SLEEP TODAY.
LOVE TO ALL AND THANK YOU FOR WORRING ABOUT ME OH BY THE WAY ON MY WAY TO THE BUS STOP I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO ASKED ME IF SHE COULD PRAY FOR MY PAIN AND KNEE SO RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK. SAID SHE WOULD KEEP ME ON HER PRAY LIST.
WILL THERE IS MY DAY IN THE NUT SHELL FOR TODAY
December 7th, 2007 at 4:02 pm
both my father and my mother had bad tempers i try extra hard to keep anger in check do a lot of praying. my brother anbd i both faced a lot of anger from them
sharon
December 7th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
Chris…You had a nice day just getting out. I had hot dogs yesterday…maybe 3. Chris, you know we wait to hear from you. I am happy you are home and resting. Jan. 4th we will mark down and you met a friend in Jesus! Chris, I wish that was me but we share on here. “Show kindness to all for some have entertained angels without knowing it,” that scriture is for you!!!
Ladies, I wrote a prayer on how sin walks in the door when we get angry..emotion. I also shared like Dianne, Like speeding to church and having a load of people going 20 miles under the speedlimit..blowing your horn and then while sitting in the parking lot to fix your hair…have them park right next to you? What an awfull feeling..I know.
Anyway, I think the enemy has been pushing my buttons as I had my whole prayer list on here and it erased..twice this week. Now, I am mad at the computer, but it powerless without me plugging it in. However, the Lord knows everything and why those prayers I left for everyone was just gone! He will answer….Nancy, display your hugs of love to those boy’s and pray for their father who may be filled with extra pressure at work or from within. I pray he is a Christian and you can approach him with your daughter and pray. I, learned this morning…early…ask the Lord to go with you when you ask. The temper and the tongue walk hand in hand and give the rest of it’s misery to a bitter heart. All Ladies of Faith say, “AMEN.”
December 7th, 2007 at 10:02 pm

December 8th, 2007 at 2:09 am
Dear Amy, I finally had a chance to sit down and carefully read all the comments and prayer requests and praises. I just prayed over your situation. Amy, I do not know where you live or what your husband does, however, you why all these attacks. I can tell in your comment and prayer request and searching for answers of why? how? what next?
Your heart is in the right place of wanting to be a mom that stays home. That is precious and your hearts desire as we cannot retrieve those years when we are not with our children. You are not alone Amy. So many families are in arguments over finances that the pressure just causes the marriages made in heaven burst! Amy, the job situation and housing market is as we all know….needs prayer.
Amy,I just want to pray for you as I cannot sleep due to some of my arthritis pain. However, your writing just touched my heart as I was on-line writing I think when your were.
Lord, I come before you as I think you and I are up alone tonight. I pray for Amy, that she would find peace and fight the tears back as she is deeply grieved over her marriage and children. You see her heart’s desire and Lord we ask that if Amy has to work that you would bless her with something she could do from home. This, woman of excellence has a heart for you Lord and her family like you directed. I pray for her husband and the pressure as he is the Primary caretaker and the job market is scarce but you are the source of all things Lord. Please provide for this little family. Take away the spirits and thoughts of despair as with you Lord the battle for marriages is one the enemy started from the beginning with Adam and Eve. Blaming and hiding from truth from each other and you. I ask Lord, that you would take this couple and renew and restore their love for you and each other. Take them aside and pray with them and let them not grieve but find their joy in your strngth during these times. Give Amy, the arms and heart to hug her husband and reassure him of her love and support of prayer. Father, you are sovereign and know every hair on our head. I cannot help except through the Power of Prayer. I ask that in your mighty power you would open up different avenues of income and bless two people who love you dearly. Do not let them sin by blaming or accusing. Do not let the enemy entertain the minds that have been transformed into yours. In Jesus mighty name, we pray for Amy, her husband and the precious children. Father, so many of us are going through similar things and mostly finances. I, ask that you keep all your children close to you so that we can fix our eyes upon you and stay focused to not lose sight of how BIG of a GOD you are. I thank you Lord and continue to pray for all of us as when we are weak we are strong in you. Lord, I pray this in Jesus name..Love ToniG and Amy
December 8th, 2007 at 3:06 am
Amy,
Joining ToniG in prayer about your situation…May God pour His grace on you and yours. (((Amy)))
ToniG,
So sorry you are having trouble sleeping tonight..praying for you also dear sister….(((ToniG)))
December 8th, 2007 at 3:33 am
Hi Donna, Thank you, so much for agreeing in prayer. I don’t know where you live, but, I, am in Chicago and it is so cold..my bones are enjoying the snow! ouch!!!
You know Donna, I think I get angry over my aging process as I used to walk 4-5 miles in our local mall in the winter. Now, I have bronchial asthma, arthritis etc. and I always was so good a being healthy. Never smoked or drank but it is always something. The body does fade like the grass and I can’t wait to get our new ones.(((with wings)))
Are you in London or Australia? I hope it is somewhere warm. So, like God to bring someone along just when you think everyone is sleeping and snoring away. I should know better, as I fly all nighters to the Pacific and Atlantic. However, you stay awake when you are getting paid. Talk about anger issue’s…people can get snappy when they aren’t getting proper rest. OK…Donna..I might have to try and rest. I hope Amy comes back to know we are praying for her and if she doesn’t the Lord heard the prayers and in infinite wisdom will do what is best for all of us. Goodnight…In Jesus..as he counts us as sheep..and gives us sleep..ToniG

December 8th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
This email really caught my interest. Before my Mom passed away she and I was reliving some of the most memorable times in our lives and she said I was the only one of 5 children that had a temper when I was a baby. She said I would stand in my crib and pull my hair when I did not get the attention I wanted. I could not believe what she was telling me at the time since I do not have a temper now. Maybe I have just mellowed a lot in my older days. In fact the last time I can remember getting really upset was way back in the 60’s when I was going through a divorce and at that time I was mad at the world. One of my borther-in-laws was a Minister (he has since passed away)and he prayed with me and told me to turn everything over to God and that helped me more than anything.
I do have a son that is living with me since his wife passed away and he has a terrible temper and I mean terrible. I keep talking with him but he’s 45 and it seems like I am talking to the wall.
Thanks for your emails I read every one of them. God bless you and remember what the upcoming holiday means.
December 9th, 2007 at 5:51 am

December 9th, 2007 at 9:44 am
This is an update on Bill:
Bill had a wonderful experience earlier this week; It began sometime after 5 am that day. He briefly woke up hearing his roomate leave for work at 5, then he fell back to sleep. A while later he woke up to feeling 3 taps on his shoulder. It was still dark, but he looked around the room and didn’t see anyone. He fell back to sleep again.
About 45 minutes later, he felt another 3 taps on his shoulder. Now he was scared and thought he was loosing his mind, but then he had the feeling of a “presence” in the room, and this presence gave him a feeling of peace, “like it was saying, ‘Everything is going to be alright,’” to him. He called it the Presence of God.
He got out of bed and got on his knees and prayed, and found that his prayers “were different than they’d ever been” before. Instead of praying for relief from the pain and nausea, for instance, he prayed for blessings and that good would come out of what he was going through, and that if he wasn’t going to receive those blessings himself, that God would pass those blessings on to others who needed them.
He has been praying in this new way ever since. The experience was a “shot in the arm for me” and he believes that whatever happens, he is going to be OK. He has “gotten used to” the nausea and it doesn’t bother him the way it did before.
Physically, he is worse that he has been so far. He had to get IV fluids for dehydration (blood pressure was 67/42)a few days ago because he “can’t keep anything down.” He also looks much worse. But he has had that experience and he is drawing a lot of encouragement from it.
The Elder has not visited yet. I found out that his job has been taking up almost all his time (he is an engineer and there are two big projects that have to be completed before the year is out). There has been a (second) time when he had a block of time to see Bill, but he couldn’t get through to him.
The Elder said he is going to try to see Bill today, so please keep praying!
Bill will be going back to the hospital for his “last round” of chemo tomorrow. He will be there into Friday.
I don’t know whether the Elder will be able to get in to see him in the hospital (cancer treatment can depress your immune system–although Bill’s hasn’t been severely affected so far) or not but I pray they meet soon (if it is God’s will)!
So ladies, please keep praying for Bill whether or not the Elder makes it. (I know the Elder still wants to, but he told me yesterday he was questioning whether the problem is really his tendency to procrastinate. Oh yeah, and the Elder told me that he’d had a similar experience to Bill’s when he was in the hospital following a severe automobile accident!) God is on the move, and I pray this doesn’t stop now :-}!
December 9th, 2007 at 10:56 am
Praise You, Lord Jesus, for the wonderful reports on Carla’s friend’s daughter, Ragon..and for Mom Angie..and that you are with both of them and will shelter and protect.. and Dianne ::}’s friend Bill whom we’ve been lifting before your Throneroom..Thank, you, Lord that you were there with him in an amazing way.. and gave him peace..And for the Elder whom you’ll make a way to visit Bill and be blessed, himself, in that process..We adore you and appreciate your amazing ways in this earthen life to touch, heal and take care of us.. Praising you This Lord’s Day for what you’ve done and will still do in both these situations… We come before you this day..hearts overflowing with Gratitude and Praise..Amen and Amen
December 9th, 2007 at 11:02 am
Bill,
I am TonG…along with Dianne, as we all glorify the Lord on here and from within our hearts. Bill, you are experiencing a Divine Appointment as you are in bed and though your flesh is weak and ill….YOU..have been healed by Jesus. The simple act of your response to Jesus, is hard for someone who is healthy. Your Spiritual inner man put goosebumps on me and the smile that we love Our Good Father.
The 3 taps and again…and again.we say ,”REJOICE!! BILL!” You are part of his kingdom and he tapped and chose you before your parents bore you. His hand touched you and your heart and he gave you strength to get on your knee’s but most important he let you make that, “CHOICE!” You did. Bill you heard, felt and saw in your sickness and fell to your knee’s. There are people even in church today that may be kneeling but still don’t know who too. I keep them in prayer, as we have all been there and then the Lord shows up and you know you have been touched and safe for eternity and see so clear with spiritual eyes.
Bill, I do not know what the Lord has planned for you but…it is something that belongs to him and he will LET you know. Sitting still, and waiting in that room we had in a devotional last week,..was one of what I always call the Divine Appointment and you met yours and received the Divine Annointment, of The Holy Spirit. You, Bill are whole and present within the arms of God. I pray for the elders, to come see you and may they be blessed upon the sight of your witness and your words of passion as you are they see a miracle like the wise men.
Your friend Dianne, is my fellow Glory Girl, and she is such an awesome writer and devout woman of influence and faith. Hug her for me. Bill, now you keep us updated as I love the see the Balm applied and the healing results as the past and scars are removed. Bring it on Lord..!! Your Glory Father belongs t you and you only and let us reflect your Fatherly image!
Eternally yours, ToniG
December 9th, 2007 at 11:06 am
Bill..Typo Toni…U turn…I pray for the elders, to come and see you and MAY THEY be BLESSED..upon the sight of you and your powerfull witness and words of Passion and Fire that they will find like the WISE MEN …a miracle.
In Jesus Holy Name!! ToniG
December 9th, 2007 at 11:09 am

December 9th, 2007 at 12:25 pm
you guys please PRAY for me and hilary i need guidance
December 9th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Carla, I am just going to come and sit still with you in the Mighty Spirit of the Lord. Lord, you see everything under the sun and things within our own personal marrow that we cannot not even see let alone the most powerfull Medical Machines known to man.
Father, Carla and Hilary need guidance and this is how you teach us every step of the way. Power of a Praying Woman, or a Desperate Woman you love as then we need you to intervene when we are totally broken without even a ray of hope. Father, Carla, is a gentle woman who is before you and a heart of needed direction. Lord, we need to put our shoes of peace on…we can now begin to walk in faith…your truth is set before us even though we cannot see your plan of wisdom..however, we will know in our hearts your map. Let Carla get through this lane without looking or listening (helmet of salvation on=hope) to others or our hands getting ahead again. Fill Carla with joy…as that her only source of strength.
Prayers, in agreement with Fran for Angie and Ragon. We are NEVER…alone. Your presence and the angels of protection that you only, have appointed to take charge over any other power, not of you be gone in Jesus precious name! Lord, we thank you with gratefull hearts and gracefilled baskets of your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus name..ToniG and Carla

Love what you wrote for Bill..who has truly had a “visitation”..Amen and AMEN!!! Praise you, Father, and thank you for sending Toni to us!! She gives you all Glory, Lord, please answer this beautiful servant’s heart’s desire..Do a miracle with her sisters and their husbands..restore them to the beloved Mother and Brother who are Toni’s heart, itself..Father..And a miracle of Salvation for Toni’s husband ..She has been a precious and yielded earthen vessel for you…Lord bless her to overflowing during this Season of Your Miracle Birth …We believe for a Christmas Miracle for ToniG who has faithfully brought others before your precious Throneroom, Father..We thank you in advance, Father Believing..Romans 4:17….Praising you Father and believing we WILL see..just as you did for Patti, Lord..Nothing too hard for you..Jeremiah 32:17 come to life in Patti’s Praise Report..Please, Lord, do this for deserving and precious ToniG and her family, too!!! And for JudyK’s Liz and others requesting your loving Touch..We believe in YOU, Father…Thank you for gathering us Father that we could encourage one another and pray one for another..Amen and Amen and AMEN!!!
December 9th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Fran, Thank you for your prayer of encouragement and most of all requests for my family. I miss and love them so much. My husband, please pray..mighty prayers would turn him over for a Man after God’s own heart like..David.
I was reading, and I was thinking, since you live in Atlanta do you have a sweet Southern accent like Suzanne Sugarbaker? (Designing Women) We are Divine women!!..Have fun and hugs to my own personal mentor in-line and on-line with the word of the Lord! In Jesus always Rejoicing and Rejoicing … again and again…ToniG
December 9th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Dianne, Praying for Bill to open his heart to allow Jesus in. Believe as you do that his experience the other night was from the Lord.
God is revealing Himself to some of my unsaved family members whom I have been fervently praying for, and is letting me know He is there for them working out salvation because He loves them sooooo. I will share more when time allows. He is soooooo AWESOME, as Jackie would say.
Jackie, we miss you. Praying for you and your family. Please let us hear from you soon!!
Patti, so glad of your praise report today!!
Ladies, praying for all of your needs as requested. Just don’t have time to comment on all. May each of you feel the “joy” of His precence in “special” ways today!!
December 9th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Dear ToniG…
You’ve have a special place in my heart and are a gift to us! Enjoy you so much and wish we could have a cup of tea together!! And, we’d have some of the “miracle Biscotti” I made recently..I call it a “miracle” that I made it..The little Italian girl Gaida on Food Network said it was easy and I believed her..And lo and behold achieved it..But “prayed” along the way..That helped :) ..
Know I have an accent..but don’t think it is like the lady on Designing Women, though..Was raised in Northeast FL in a little town called Palatka, FL which is nestled next to the beautiful St. Johns River..And some of my relatives there and in Pensacola,FL, where I was born and lived my first years..did have accents..But our children don’t have one..So, am pretty sure that I “slip in and out of it”..June L has heard me on the phone and will have to tell you for me!! LOL!! But you are sooo right!! We are all Divine women!!! And YOU have a beautiful voice on here!!!
Also?! I spelled Paula “Deen’s” name wrong!!!! Am going to have to turn in my proofreading badge LOL!!! She has two sons that are good cooks, too, and appreciate and respect their Mama..Paula went through a lot and her story is inspiring and encouraging..You’d love their cookbook, too!
Rejoicing across the miles with you ..and? Am praying my heart out about your special husband, too! Such miracles come at this “season of Miracles”..I get goosebumps just thinking about His Birth…And the Lord can sure do it..can start one this Precious Season, too! You deserve it and HE knows that..and loves his girl ToniG!!!! So? We will stay in powerful bond of Agreement, Matthew 18:20 and HE is here with us as we do, too..And many other “Glory Girls” that love you as much as I do..and ALL in AGREEMENT!! When I get discouraged about those have been interceeding and it “seems” there’s no result? I think of the Mighty Damascus Road experience Paul went through..and that thing that is impossible with man (or woman!)..is more than possible with HIM..Luke 18:27…and I pray ..lifting those Promises, too!
Just want you to know this? HIS light shines so brightly through you here at this specials Sisterhood? Your husband “sees”, too! Am believing your prayer answered!!!! Amen and Amen!! You are so special..and a “gift” to us here!!!…Will hush and get back downstairs..Our son doing a quick errand..So ran up to share!!! Much Love!!!

To Toni G,
Fran has given me permission to tell you what she sounds like on the phone. She does not sound like Suzanne Sugarbaker from “Designing Women.” But then, I am also from Atlanta, and “yes” she sounds like me!! A few years back I answered the phone at a local Hospital where I worked partime. A doctor’s wife said: “Is this Shirley?” I explained I was not Shirley. She said “Well you sound just like Shirley, sweet and Southern.” Guess what, Fran talks sweet and southern, and she is a “Divine woman”, inside and out, but you already know that!!
Have a blessed week “Divine Tony.” Your words of wisdom and encouragement always a blessing!

Hi Carla, I made a (typo) mistake and called prayer..pair. I dropped down to my next comment to stop and fix the correct word.Please forgive me and pray I proof-read a little more. I get so caught in the Holy Spirit when I hear the needs of mighty prayer requests that I feel the Holy Spirit and the prompting to do the most important act of help for as all situations that are in need of that gift the, POWER OF PRAYER!
Carla, I heard a song that was on the Presidential Prayer CD a few years ago. It was on prayer and intercession. Yes, someone, is praying for you…all of us..and that includes you but most of all our intercesor, “JESUS.” The song just went on when I kept reading your requests.
Carla, I do apologize, and yes…someone..everyone is praying mighty prayers…sometimes when you don’t see typewritten ones as there are others that do not comment but are praying. That is what I love about this sight. The seen and unseen prayer just like our faith in Jesus to take him at his word when we can’t physically see him.
Carla, once again thank you for pointing this out to me and a need to clarify. Oh, Holy Night..is my praise song that announces the birth of the King of Kings that praises his arrival for a long awaited promise of a savior. When I first became a Christian in 1990..that Christmas Song changed for me as my spiritual eyes and ears heard the proclamation of a Saviour on that..Holy Night when Christ was born.
I, count it pure blessing to take part in lifting you up and your famiy and friends in the gift of prayer. Sometimes, we are so overwhelmed when going throuh a fire..we have no words..that is when the unseen power of Jesus and his wisdom to allow these things to pass and we join in with him and pray as he does for all of us when there are no words for the deep grief we are in.
You are loved and prayed for and all of your requests!
In Jesus let us declare God’s Glory no matter how dark life can get.
With much Love and heartfeltrayers, in Jesus, Toni
December 10th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
Carla..sorry another typo..With much Love and Hearfelt prayer. Yes, I am praying with a host of angels and Jesus Christ is with you and all financial situations for your friend with needs to survive with the warmth of heat. Ageeing with you in all pain that we do await Jesus to relieve us from this world of pain. Your children, and SharonB’s daughter-in-law be healed and delivered. Amen..ToniG

Carla, I was sleeping most of my day due to my fibromyalgia and arthritis. It is late and I looked at the news for the weatherforecast. I do not know where you live but I can certainly tell you it is really going to get colder here in the Midwest. My deep prayers for the ice and cold storm that is approaching has already cut-off so many people here with no power.
Lord, I just come along side of Carla for her friend again as he faces power of heat.electricity..and this is to be cast out in your name Jesus. Carla and I want to pray for not onl him but the many that are facing the same problems. Lord, put your hand upon all this weather and let your Holy Power warm the flesh and hearts of many us who may be without. Take this Lord and please help all of us. Your love and ears hear the pleads and petitioning from your children. I know you always are faithfull and answer in your ways not ours. Give us hearts of patience and calm as we enter another day of prayer. Father please agin I ask for Carla, Hilary,Angie,Ragon that you would be with them. Answer their hearts and souls of the unknown. The deep pain of any kind of illness that is before them. I pray for the best in your kingdom to touch and supply the needs for this family.
I can tell in Carla’s prayer request she loves with a heartfelt concern and love for someone who is facing broken gas pipes and no money to repair. I present with my siter Carla…this request be filled by you source of power and to direct the gas company and electric company to get there and repair or replace the source of heat.
Carla, I will continue to pray as our heat was out..off/on last week and is still giving us problms. That is why my artrritis and fibro is hurting so much more. Jesus, did provide and I do have heat but the briskness of the wind is felt through windows. We have to really bundle up. You are loved for your compassion and Lord will answer in his way not ours.
Stand firm on his word like you are doing..In Jesus we pray your almighty Name the Source of all Power above all..ToniG

Fran, Your words are a gift. I have to keep unwrapping each gift of encouragememt. Paula Dean and Giada Dilaurentis….are my cooking inspirations. If of any of you want a cookbook…now I made and bound this together at office Max…..Sure it may have typo’s but it was from the heart all 675 books of them.
I made an Italian cookbook…because we’re all Italian with photos,history of my family and the best OLD recipes some from the Old Country which is now one of the most desired place of Travel, Italy. See Me! I came up with this idea as I did this for my daughter-in-law for wedding shower as she was swedish, etc and wanted my family pizzelle and anise cookie recipes. Everyone received homemade coookbook with photos.
I was thinking when I put it together how much love when into it. However, behind the scenes there was a lot of anger on one families part. The Lord helped me as I did this on pure prayer. The Subject, is fitting for our topic. My sister, promised to type all the stories and recipes as a return favor she said wold be no problem as she also has a binding machine that hold mauals together. I came off my trip and there was nothing for a showerthat was like 4 days away. Crushed beyond belief. I went and typed she did a few and then…gluing/taping and designing. In my anger I hit the ceiling like a huge wind of turbulence went by. Unexpected expectationa and more broken promises.
I finally ended up in prayer…with anger…and Lo and B’Hold I went to office Max and yes……..$675.00 for binding and the amount of copies I needed was the cheapest. Now more anger came in as they could not come through again for the final binding and had to make a decision not to dissappoint my son. With tears,tissue and total bill I was not able to enjoy a time so special. I let the enemy rob me because of money and a broken promise.
I did let go after it was over and now 4 years later I still have people wanting them. However, my grammar and puctuation need to be proofread. I ask for that to be done in Jesus name. The cookbook that stirred the pot with anger and sin that lead to repentance. After this my sister was so ashamed, as she like me softies…broke down and we apologized.
Sin and anger are the thief who like in the middle of the dark if night almost devoured us. Now for 3 years her husband will not let her participate with our family. Anger and sin have chewed my family apart. I still believe in miracles like Frans biscotti. You ladies are divinely praying and God see’s the hearts.
In Jesus, ToniG
December 11th, 2007 at 12:28 pm

Sharon….I am still praying for Racheal and your son, it is so sad that she cannot see the Love that God has for her….I will pray that some how over Christmas something will nudge her to the belief of the wonderful things that God can do for her.
Toni…..thanks for sharing your cookbook story, I know all to well just how these rifts can happen so easily in family and in friendship, I remember growing up (my family was very “churched”) one day one of their friends in the church would be terrible, a few days later they would be fine and someone else would be terrible… and on it went……..we lived in an adult gated community for 3 years, we got to be pretty good friends with our next door neighbours who weren’t really well liked…..when I decided I had enough of cranky people…….some of the things that were said and done to our neighbours were really very thoughtless. When we moved (to a town 2 1/2 hours away) our neighbours were still very friendly to us………..then after a few weeks they didn’t speak at all. It really hurt me as I had stood up for them so much………then I found out that someone in the “community” had told them that we had moved because we didn’t like them………this really upset me because these wonderful neighbours had put themselves out for us BIG TIME……..one of the things was looking after our house while we went on a 3 month cross country trip and they would take nothing for it……..2 years ago our pastor asked every one in our Bible Study if we could think of someone we would like to be reconciled with, and we would all pray weekly at Bible Study……..I mentioned these people…..one year later……..we drove to their town and took them to lunch and now see them at least 3 times a year. It is so easy for this to happen…….but it takes mountains of prayer to repair it!!

Hello Dear Ladies..
Am lifting and thinking of you all and appreciate all the kind comments. Our daughter had to have emergency surgery in the early hour mornings today..But is O.K. and already back home with her family for which we Praise our Lord! Our son here and we have been a family encouraging one another throught this unexpected event. As we hugged and kissed her goodbye once she was in her room and settled..She thanked us for being there for her..and our son took her daughters, his nieces, on to a planned event last night..so her husband could be at the hospital overnight. She said she was so grateful for “family”..And we are blessed here at Truth Media, too! Where a “family of believers” hold one another up daily!
Sharon, we know it is “never too late” and it is the enemy causing those words through Racheal, but she is a part of a special family in you and yours, too!..The Miracle will yet unfold, too! (You are also a very special woman, hope you know that!!).
Believing for and with all of you..And sending love and prayers across the miles to all. Proud of you Carla for your intercession for the person needing utilities..and believe Jehoveh Jireh will answer those prayers..and prayers of agreement from the ladies here..
Toni, hope am just a “sweet sound” in His ear as that beautiful hymn goes!! Linda R and June L both have the sweetest voices! Wish we could all hear one another! But? Get to read your “hearts” here ..and the voices would “have” to match!
December 11th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
Oh Fran, I was getting to go to bed and my computer did not shut off and my mailbox on. I saw your comment and thought …oh No..why is she e-mailing with her son visiting? I am so sorry for your daughter. We are in prayer for her as we all love you so much! Now it is our turn to pray and lift you and your sweet miracle’s (not biscotti’s) in prayer. Hopefully, everything went well as I know when you pray all ends are met.
Lord, we just come before you pray for Fran and her family right now. I ask you Jesus to comfort all of them and the girls. Keep them assured that you are there with them and their mom. Please, let Fran minister to all. Father, the unexpected can and does happen to all of us. We do not get angry and sin against you by grumbling or complaing as that grieves you. Give Fran and her family more reasons to love each other even more!! Fill them with joy, and your reasons for healing hospitals things are really gifts just wrapped differently. We love and miss you Fran..In Jesus name ToniG

Thank you for the beautiful prayer ..the Lord works in such Mysterious Ways, too..Our daughter a hardworking, giving girl..And we are so proud of the way she went through this sudden need for surgery. She told us over and over how much she loved and appreciated us all..And we feel that way about her, too. What struck me? The wonderful Mom she is to her girls..Her caring and concern for them..And while she “was” scared going into her first surgery of her life? She reassured those daughters..that she’d be o.k. and to “not worry”! There were a lot of “love you’s” and hugs!! And this will please you?! Before we dashed out the door to join her yesterday? We brought a tin of of those “Miracle Biscotti” for our Miracle girl! Thirty-two years ago when we held her in our arms? We knew we’d witnessed a miracle from Him!! She wasn’t able to eat or drink all day as she was an “add on surgery”..And, they’d first thought it’d be very quick..But other surgeries scheduled took longer than expected..But hers was one that “had” to be done!..And? I was so touched by her young husband..a “son-by-love” who had gathered a favorite soda and salad in readdiness for when she “could” eat again. And was going to get coffee for her to sample that Biscotti, too! The Lord used this in a mighty way and we all came away knowing He’d been with us..The surgery could have ended much worse..and she’d been told the “worst case scenario”..But we rebuked that and HE was with us..And everything ended up O.K. for which we Praise His Mighty Name this night!! Thank you, dear friend..for YOUR loving, caring ways and prayers! May He Bless you in miraculous ways this special season, too..You are sooo deserving!! (((ToniG)))
