To All,

  For some time I have prayed for patience.  This is a scary prayer to pray, but I was wandering around in the Word of God yesterday and found the Scripture where God will not put me through more than I can bear.  So why I am still afriad.  Everyday it is getting harder and harder to pray for it.  But I know patience is a weakenss in my life right now and want to get it worked on before my son can get any older.

  2 other prayers that I have been praying is true understanding of the Body of Christ - those that are in Him in Spirit and Truth.  I was a pre-med student and understand how the human body worked, but I prayed that I would see the body of Christ at work.

  I also prayed that I would learn to feel God's presence at all times.  Including time out periods of which I am experiencing right now.  I know that I am praying these things becuase God wills it.  Please pray for me as I am having trouble to keep on praying.  But I know that persistence and running the race is the first step.

  I will not quit, until God says that it is okay.  I am just being told to pray all the harder.  So I guess it is time to let go of the branch and jump.  I think and know this will be a tough lesson to learn and tought discipline to go through at the time, but I know it will make me a better person.

  Sincerely,

Anne,

 I can relate to your situation. God is drawing us closer every single minute of every single day and He never promised us it would be easy but He did promise us that He would never leave us nor foresake us. He also promised us that He would finish the work He has started in us.

 If you, I and others can hold on to that promise then we can do all things through Christ which gives us strength.

Bobby,

  That is so good to hear and I just remembered something.  I did post those verses and things that relate to your reply in another topic entitled Phillipians.  Hmmm, perhaps God was trying to tell me something after all.  I just wish that I just was not so stubborn headed about things.   ;D  In science we learned that the hardest substance on the earth was a diamond, but I am of a different opinion, I am sure that I could break the diamond by cracking it on my head.   ;)

  Thanks for the words of encouragement brother.

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

 Don't try so hard.  You've allready arrived.  When Jesus died on the cross he bowed his head and said "it is finished".  That applies to you.  Read Galatians 2:20.  Absorb that verse and let it heal you from your human effort.  You are in Christ.  Learn to rest.  Quit trying so hard...you may be in danger of making your own "self-effort" and idol.  God will continue to let you fail..until you learn to totally rest and let go.  It's like this ... when you fly ... you the human person don't run down the tarmac and flap your arms do you... :)no  you purchase a ticket (salvation)..get on a plane (higher power) and sit down and rest.  The law of aerodynamics simply overcomes the law of gravity and you fly high and fast...no effort on your part...except to accept your higher power's power (Jet).  Therefore in our walk..like it says in Romans..."the law of life in Christ Jesus has OVERCOME the Law of Sin and Death! (Romans 8:2)  Notice the previous verse says "In Christ Jesus"  It's wonderful...Precious sister in Christ.  Learn to Rest in Him.  Quit trying so hard.  He loves you no matter what.  Think about Paul the Apostle..he considered himself the Chief of Sinners!. Look how God used him  Hope this helps...Been where you're at for many years...Am now liberated...As I understand that Christ is all and in all...
