Decky:
Hello Everyone,

This is just a brief testimony. You may not think it's all that, but to me, it's such a breakthrough. I'm sure many of you know my struggles with prayer, and how most of it stems from the loss of my Dad and God's refusal to heal him. In fact my last post just prior to this one was pretty much a temper tantrum culminating with a declaration that prayer is a joke. Over the weekend, it felt like God was really dealing with me and breaking down that resentment I held. Last night before bed, I knelt at my bedside(Which was once a nightly custom. I know it's not all in the posture one takes, but this is how I've done this for so many years)and I actually communicated with God. It was rough, and not many words came out, but I was able to ask him to give me the desire and the ability to pray. Since then, a good deal of the anger in me has subsided. I know I have a long way to go, but I am so grateful for what happened last night.

A humble thank you to all those who have helped me get to this point by your prayers and emcouragement.

Deckey.

Praise the Lord, that is so wonderful to hear and you know God always has our best interest at heart even when it hurts us emotionally. Your message was uplifting to me and I wanted to thank you for sharing this.

I can relate to what your saying my friend because I lost my Dad when I was young and my mom back in 1993 but I know one day I will see them both again but I remember the pain I went through with the passing of both parents.

Now I have the sweet memory of my parents but without the pain, keep praying because talking to God brings us closer to God and you’ll find God is our quiet place.

                           
                                                        In His Love. Richard.

Decky,
You know sometimes our minds just won't quiet down. satan uses every opportunity to slam us onto the ground and tries to hold us 'down for the count' it happens to all of us at times. God knows all of this.

 I remember when my mom died, she had a "mild" stroke. She was 55 years old! She was diabetic and was blind, but a more beautiful soul you would have never known. She was in a coma and was suffering from kidney failure which ultimately is what she died from. But at the hospital that day I went to the chapel and I prayed and I still remember my prayer and it was 35 years ago. I said "God I love my mother and I know you do too. If you would heal her completely from all of her sicknesses then please do it. If you won't heal her completely then please let her go, she has suffered too much for too long." Before I got back to her room I learned she had passed away. I have always thanked God for not letting her suffer any longer. I miss her terribly, but I have always had peace because I knew and I know that God is in control. Losing someone you love is never a good thing, but God is in control at all times.

My Dad died in 1989 and he lived only a few months after learning he had cancer, but again I am thankful that his illness was short and his suffering ended in God's time.
None of this is probably helpful to you, but just remember if God is in control then he knows what the next thing is and He has it in store for you.
With love and prayers,
Kathy :)
