I so need your prayers of agreement at this time. I really need to soak in the hot tub of my heavenly Fathers love. I am kinda in a valley of dissapointment, but I know the way out. My God is able, when I am weak He is strong.

There are so many things to be thankful for. There have been so many answers to prayer, and yet so many that still need answers. We have been in such great financial need, yet like a small stream trickiling down a mountain one-by-one some of the needs get met. A lot of my discouragement came from the decision that I have made to take on a part-time job. The pay isn't that great, in fact 15 years ago I worked part time for UPS for more than this. My full time job this year just has not supplied enough hours to meet the needs of my family. The biggest loss that I feel is the additional time that I will be away from my lovely wife and my four kids. It really hurts.

Someone out there has been through this kind of testing and there are many of you going through the same testing as myself. What victories did you see from the hand of God. Please testify of the goodness of the LORD. I am not the only one on this site that needs encouragement.

In need of the Hot tub of the LORD, Robert Cyders...


Psalm 27:13-14 I would have depaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.


I will not boat in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Please pray for them:

My wife's parents own a flourist business. They do many events for well know names in our area.
Jerry has been doing this for over 35 years but on his own for two with only his wife Carolyn to help keep the business going. I am greatly concerned for them and most importantly their relationship to God. They are not involved in any relationships that build them up in their faith. There is hurt in their past regarding going to church as well. I led Jerry to Christ at one time, but he needs to continue to grow up in the Lord.

I do not know when the last time it was that they had a "real" day off.
They are very near retirement age with little to no savings to support them should they retire now. Please take a moment to pray for them. Pray for God's love to invade their busy-ness and show Himself strong on their behalf. Jerry's desire is to get away from the "weddings" and to do more work for parties and the like on a more consistant baisis. I am concerned for his health as well. He has had a wound from surgery for diverticulitis on his belly that refuses to heal and has had it for nearly three years. I want so bad for God to show himself strong in spirit, soul, and body.

God is faithful, Robert Cyders...
