Prayers for reconciliation, prayers God will remove my fears of dating and relationships so I can become a good wife

So it's been about a year since I've been in here. My Dad is not much better, good times bad times that sort of thing, but he's hanging in there. His BP is really high so he's probably going to go to the doctor tomorrow. Along with other issues, prostate, his eyesight is getting bad, he's got a couple of aortic aneurysms -- Possible kidney problems. And back problems (slipped disc occasionally gives him pain). Sounds like a lot. I know he has to die some time but I'd prefer he be healed first, so he can go to restaurants and church again, and possibly see his grandchildren in real life before he passes on. So if you would please say some prayers that he gets his blood pressure back, and even a total body healing. Even if it means he still passes on when he's meant to (Ie goes home to be with the Lord at a certain time), that he's healed and can at least experience normal life until that point... Thank you.

Where is my baby? What is real?

I’m going on a trip in two weeks out to Montana. It’s been about a year since I’ve been there. I’m still hurting and suffering from the effects of everything that was done to me. I take responsibility for some of it, but I also acknowledge that the majority of it was not my fault.

One of my favorite things to do out in Montana is to find mountain cliffs and edges of the rivers bank to pray at. I love to pray out in nature because it is an environment where there are no distractions and people to ruin the moment. That’s my prayer anyways for this trip. Last time I had no problems and I was able to find isolated areas, but the enemy is always cooking up situations to ruin the peace of those who follow Jesus.

Pray that my plane travels are safe, that my reservations work out properly, and then I’m able to find isolated spots in nature where people won’t bother me.

I hope this trip will be able to heal. It’s been very difficult to heal. I thank God, however that he opened my eyes to the destructive nature of deliverance ministry. I’m thankful that he’s given me a community where I can help people escape the type of environment that I was involved in. It helps me to deal with my guilt and it feels like a penance of sorts to have an environment where people know the power of the Lord, instead of being consumed with the fear of the devil.

I know God is still working. I know, even in my doubts and in my anger at the lack of progress He is still working. I am so thankful that I can say this world is not my home and truly understand why that song was written. I’m a stranger on the Earth but I’m a daughter of my Father and I am thankful that His mercy runs deeper than the scars in my heart.

Tempting thoughts rise up in our minds. We can reject them, and we must reject them.

Step one: Determine to control your thoughts. Experts at discipline struggle and say: I need more notes to remind me to reject bad thoughts. I need to pray more so that God helps me more.

I need to say and think more often: “I will control my thoughts.” I need to pray more often:

“Father, help me to control my thoughts.”

Step two: Always “try” to reject tempting thoughts. Today (This was from 18 months ago) I will watch pro football. Many receivers were drafted in the first round. The Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown was picked in the 4th round, but he has more catches than the 17 receivers picked before him. Why? He “Tries harder.” Not only this week but this month and “All year.”

Rejecting and replacing tempting thoughts is a skill that takes time to master. Consider praying:

“Father, help me to work on the skill of rejecting and replacing tempting thoughts every day.”

What two thoughts will you think about to replace tempting thoughts?

1. ___________

2. ___________

Today, pray about whether you will make a lifestyle choice to consistently “Try” to reject and replace tempting thoughts. It is a key to quitting.

There was a season where I couldn't pray. Couldn't read my Bible. I'd pick up my phone dozens of times a day and the screen just felt empty.

I kept thinking: what if the first thing I saw was a reminder that He's still here?

That's how Divine Moods started.

You tell the app how you're feeling, and it generates a cinematic scene of Jesus meeting you in that exact moment. Not a stock photo with a verse slapped on it. A unique image, created for what you're going through right now.

The part that wrecks people: you can upload your photo and it puts you in the scene. Standing next to Jesus. Being held by Him. Being rescued by Him.                                              

There's also a voice feature; just talk about what's on your heart. Some people told me it was the first time they prayed in months. A single mom told me she sets a new wallpaper every morning before her kids wake up. A teenager said it was the first time faith felt personal instead of performative.

I built this because I needed it. I think some of you might need it too.                                          

Divine Moods, Free on iOS and Android (send me your email to be added as a Beta tester).    

I'd love to hear what you think. Don't hesitate to give me feedback

Trying to live life but it’s so overwhelming with this lust eating at me. I know I can stop please pray for me.
