Hello, everyone...
I am very much in need of prayers at this time. The Lord has given me a great deal of loss: physically; financially; emotionally; in my career; most of all, in those whom I love who have passed on, or are ill.
Whatever He chooses to do in my life, how He chooses to use me, please pray for me for strength and healing of my heart.
I thank Him for those around me; for loving and watching over me; for giving me kind people in my life- even when He decides to call them home. I thank Him for people like you whom I know will pray, and those of you who already are praying.
May G-d bless and keep all of you, and those whom you love! May His name be praised in all things, at all times!
(((Hugs))),

Thank you, I need His guidance so badly, and it’s so hard to find that quiet in my heart with so much going on all around me, so much at once. God be with you, and your Mister...
Praying for you. May Psalm 91 lift you as it has me so many times.
Thank you so much, and may the Lord bless you for your kindness!

“One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
‘You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?’
The Lord replied,
‘The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.’

I don’t know His purpose and I am so sorry to hear about your difficulties. It is beautiful to see your faith in spite of it all. May God bless and restore you and give you strength.
As Christ Himself said in Gethsemane: “Father, not mine, but Thy will be done.”
Keep looking up; your faith will sustain you.
Psalm 34:
15The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.
16The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles.
18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all.
20He keeps all their bones; not one of them will be broken.
21Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
Yes, this is a big bunch of loss, but there is an old saying, “God never gives you anything that you can’t handle.”
May God be with you to heal your own body and soul, money wise and otherwise.
May he bring the Holy Spirit to guide you through the grief and loss with your job as well as with your friends.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I usually don’t pray to God for specific things, but rather to give me strength to endure what comes my way.
Prays up for you.
Praying for you.
I am praying for you. I’ve been there. Could not find peace at work, friendships, or family (although I do have a wonderful wife of 43 years!). In 5 years years, I lost my parents, one of my wife’s parents, lost 2 jobs, married off 2 children. Had to go to Christian counseling. The counselor pointed me back to God’s Word and I found out that I knew a lot about God, but didn’t really have a personal relationship with Him. I got in his Word on a daily basis and by His grace have stayed there.
There is a link on my homepage too with part of my story.
Proverbs 3: 5, 6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Are you retired and living in Italy, or have you always lived in Italy?
If you were in the US, we may be better able to assist in some way. It's my hope you are here.
Prayers for you. When I am fearful I hang onto His promise to “never leave or forsake us.” He is always with us. Continue to hang onto Him.
Prayers up.
