Please pray for physical healing for me for my legs... I have Lichen Planus and it's getting worse. It itches and creates very ugly purple and brown spots on my legs that almost look like open soars. It itches terribly and is so unsightly. I have been praying for healing of my legs and back for a long time and I need a break through. Pray for my daughter...She is separated from her husband, (manipulative, controllling and abusive *especially emotionally* at times. My daughter is also a fighter. they have 5 children. 3 are with her and 2 are with her husband. She really misses her children. She has lost her job and has to leave the apartment she is in. She has been having a very bad time these past 3 or 4 years and is very depressed. It breaks my heart to se her like this. It breaks my heart that no one is helping. It breaks my heart that I am not in a position to be of much help. She asked her friends and family to help her and no one would help her at first they all told her no, even though she has been faithful to help others when in need. She has helped many many friends and family members and now they have no hlep for her. She is growing discouraged and very bitter. She is anxious about what is going to happen to her and her kids with no place to stay. I no longer have my house and can not provide a place for her to help her. Her sisters won't move in with her to help. They have been very angry with each other lately and have surprised me with their lack of support and their fighting. I've taken a leave of absense to help her. I may not have a job when my leave is up. She has to move out of her home right away. She doesn't have the money for last month of rent and may be forced to move anyu moment. She has tried to get another apartment and has been turned down everywhere so far. One of them promised to get back to her today and it seems like they are stringing her along. It costs her $75 every time she applies and she can't get it back. She is running out of money and trying so hard to trust God in this. Then getting angry becasue He seems to be letting so much trouble hit our family at this time. Please pray that God will provide a place for her kids and a good school for them to go to. I have moved to the area she is in temporaily, and am thinking about moving permenantly so that I can help her and my grandkids. The place that I left, the cost of living is extremly high and I can't afford to live there. I just couldn;'t make it there. I have been going through financial difficulities myself since 1999. I am so tired of this. I have finally lost my house and my car. I have no home, car, and need a new job and will have no benefits come October. We both need a financial breakthrough. We both desire to be closer to God and to be obedient to Him. My daughter has no benefits either. I am divorced from my husband and it hurts when I see my husband so much better off than me financially and see my daughters husband doing so well financially. It is hard to accept this for both of us. I know she wonders also why we are not able to prosper finacially as well. Please pray for us in these areas. Pray for supernatual provision to help us move and a decent place for us to move in. Pray that He will provide good jobs without strife, and deception, and envy. Thanks to you all.

Do not dispair. It seems so hard to do, but you need to give up control of your lives to God. You have both done your best, but it has not gotten you to where you want to be, and as you have found sometimes just asking for help does not work, but I have found in my own life, that when I have done everything I could, tried my best, and still failed, I end up back where I should have started, and I ask God to handle it for me, and He always has, and never has He failed to clear my path.
When I try to stear my own way, I end up traveling over some of the rockiest places with seemingly no way out, but simply telling the Lord that I have muddled it up again, and would he please take charge, and solve what I can not, has always worked. The key is to mean it, to really believe it, and to completely leave your worries and burdens in his hands.
Even as I am writing this to you, I realize I have yet done this again. I too have been trying to take charge of my life, and have been failing miserably once more. (Heaven alone knows why I simply do not leave my life in his hands, but I have always been a head strong, take charge type of person. Thankfully like a good father, the Lord always forgives my mistakes). Try it. Believe it. I know it will work for you as well.
"Father, I am lost (again). I have stumbled about on my own, and find myself in a bad way. I can not fix it, and would not even know where to begin, but I know you can. (Once more) I ask you to take over my life and to make things right. Help my children to receive the things that they need most, and are right for them, and resolve any animosity between them. Show me the way you wish me to proceed. Give me your guidance and your comfort. I know Lord that you know what is best for us, and I will trust in you to take care of me and those I love. Amen."
Remember: What earthly father would when asked for food hand his child a rock. How much more merciful is our Heavenly Father. Knock and the door will be opened. Ask and you will receive.

Enough is Enough! I'm tired of Satan and his attack on my family. I am tired or being tired!
I'm looking to God for a miracle. I know He can make a way, when there is no way visible... when there is no logical outcome...when everything you see says:
"NOT HAPPENING--CAN'T HAPPEN!"
I'm looking to God, not anyone else. I'm not light candels, mixing root, praying to the dead, begging idols of stone that can neither see or hear. I am praying to the Almighty Creator of the universe who neither sleeps nor slumbers; the ever living eternal God, whose compassions are new every morning. My Abba, who loves me. I know God will answer He is faithful and true. He cannot fail.
God has moved in some areas. We both have jobs. (praise Him) I'm living with my other daughter now, looking for a car. It's difficult to save the money for the car. I have no credit and cannot purchase one through ordinary means. This is not Going to Stop God; he is not bound by credit reports, empty bank accounts, and plunging values of stock. It's getting colder and beginning to rain. I need suitable shoes, covering and an umbrella that works. Actually, even better, I need a car to get back and forth to work, and to even go to the store and for recreation. I know that God does not expect me to remain isolated forever. I know that Satan is attacking my family heavily. He is attacking our joy, and our family bond. He is trying to destroy our closeness through trials and hardships burdens. He is sowing bitterness, unforgiveness, and has isolated me from Christian Friends. I come against him and his attacks on me and my family in the Name of Jesus. I command by the authority in the Name of the risen Lord, that Satan and all his demons take their hands off of my family, our health, our minds, our emotions, our living space, our cars, our jobs, our finances, our giving, our co-workers, our work enviornment, our children and grand children, our parents, our joy and our lives. I pray for the healing of my Father who went to the hospital this week. I pray for him and my mother, their well being and that they will continue to trust Him for all of their needs. I pray in the Name of the Savior, pleading His blood over me and my family, and claiming by the word of my testimony that He is Faithful and true!
Thanks to those of you who have prayed.
God Bless all and Happy Thanksgiving.

Colossians 3:1-2
If then you have been raised up with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Dear God,
I pray that inspite of the challenges graced is facing in her life now that Your Spirit will help set her mind on the things that are above. I pray that by setting her mind on things that are above, she will be filled with hope LORD and strengthened physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
I pray this in the powerful name of your son Jesus, AMEN
