My dad starts another round of Chemotherapy today. He is battling stomach cancer. My sister, who is a nurse, sent me a message saying that the last round of chemo was very bad for him. My mom is holding up well, although I think she is painting the picture better than it is. <P>Also, I have been having bad dreams about my H and his infidelity the last couple of nights. Please pray with me that the Lord give me clarity in my mind, and an answer as to where these dreams are coming from. <P>Thank you all for your prayers.<P>

AW,<P>I will be praying for your Father. I think I told you I lost my Dad to Cancer many years ago. His was a much less treatable type though. It is so hard to see those we love suffer.<P>As far as those dreams go, I understand those too. I've had them off and on for three years. The funny thing was I had a recurrent dream of an other women for all the years my H was having his affair. Guess the Lord was subconciously telling me something.<P>Lord, give Rootbeer Your peace when she sleeps at night. When her head hits the pillow give her the assurance that You are watching over her. Continue to work out the tensions in her marriage. Thank You for the progress she is seeing in her H. Bless them both today and give them a special awareness of Your love and protection. IJN<P>Blessings, Taj<P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

Lord, please reveal to aw if there is anything you are showing her in her dreams. we trust you Lord. search her and know her. protect her. your Word tells us in isaiah 54 that the Lord your maker is your husband. be the husband aw needs right now and be her covering. thank you for your Word and for speaking to her through it. help aw to test like in 1john and know if these dreams are from you. she is waiting on you. save her and she will be saved, heal her and she will be healed, for you are her praise.<BR>(jer.17)

PS 4:8 I will lie down and sleep in peace,<BR> for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.<P>You still praying for God to instruct and intervene in hubby's sleep? Well, if Satan can't mess there, where do you think he is going to go? Generally dreams address anxiety that we don't deal with during the daytime. I pray this psalm and sleep soundly all night. I find it incredibly comforting knowing that He is guarding me while I sleep. Love you!!!

AW,<BR>I had a drem several years ago now. The ow was dragging me away and I was trying to scream. In my dream I screamed until I actually made noise and woke myself up. It haunted me. About a year later I was vaccuming and I recalled that dream and suddenly I understood. I wanted to be heard above her. She was trying to get me out of my husbands life but I wasn't going to stop screaming until he heard me. I think I'm still screaming.<BR>I am sorry to hear about your Dad. I will lift him up in prayer. <BR>Try praising God as you fall asleep. At night time. I'll often sing my favorite praise songs in my head or any other time when satan is trying to have his way in me. I find during those times it is sometimes hard to concentrate during attempted prayer. But if I sing in my head or out loud depending where I am I can focus better. Then when I feel more focused I can pray. There is power in prayer but there is a greater power in praise, I believe. And the other thing I do when I just can't praise I go to all the psalms that lift praise to God. Remeber when the disciples were in jail, they sany praises to God until he made the earth shake and freed them.<BR>Father, I lift up AW, to you tonight. Sing over her , Lord and bring peace to her soul.Lord, help her to keep her eyes fixed on Jesus, and thank you for walking beside AW and offering your strong arm to hold her up when she is weary. You are awesome, Lord! and if You are for us, who can be against us. Praise the Lord, Oh my soul, for you are mighty and most worthy of praise. Continue to soften AW's husband's heart and bring increased peace to their marriage and home. Increase AW's faith today and show her how much You love her. Amen.

Thank you all so much for your prayers, I'm looking to Him to tell me what is going on in my head. I didn't have any bad dreams last night. And yes, I have been praying every night for the Lord to instruct my H as he sleeps. Last night He must have been instructing me, as I dreamed about bible verses, several different ones, but I can't remember one of them today!!! Maybe I need to start annointing and praying over my pillow too, like I do for H's pillow. <P>My H has backslid bad this week on his drinking. He's been late each night, real drunk when he gets home. Thank you Lord for not letting him be mean. I have been praying fervently for the Lord to bring him to bring him to his knees, in full repentance. Maybe these drinking episodes are leading him that way. <P>Lord, thank you for continuing to work in my husband's life, calling his name, and troubling his relationships with those that are stumbling blocks to his salvation. Thank you Lord for preparing his heart to accept you as his Savior soon. I praise you in the highest, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for assuring my husband arrives home safely when he has been drinking. And, thank you Lord for being with me when he does come home, that he sees your reflection in my eyes, and in my words. IJN AMEN<BR>

I'll be covering you in prayer on my way to work today......... God is Soveriegn, rest in Him!<P>------------------<BR>Jesus is the only answer!<BR>His blessings, Cozy

Father,<BR>I lift Aw up into your loving arms today. Let her rest securely there. Refresh and give her renewed strength and hope in You. Father, convict her husband of his drinking. Bring him to his knees. Bring Christian men to him to show him the way to You and the need to stop drinking. We praise You, Lord that AW's husband has not been mean. Wrap Your child in an extra hedge of protection this week. Let her hear Your voice in her dreams and let her have peaceful sleep. Disturb her husband's sleep with Your instruction. Amen

Cozy, hw - thank you so much for your prayers. H made it home tonight without getting drunk first. Praise God!!<P>I haven't been going to church on Wed. night for a very long time because if my H knows I won't be home he uses that as an excuse to stay out late and get drunk. This AM I mentioned to him that I might go to church tonight. No response. I made up my mind to go. Called H on my way home, and asked him if he would mind if I went to church tonight. He said "I don't guess so". Before calling H I prayed asking God to bind Satan so that I wouldn't be prevented from going to church tonight, and that H wouldn't be mad at me for not being home. God answered that prayer! <P>Then, as my friend and I were discussing POPW before church started (she just got the book) several other ladies around us started asking about the book. Of course we raved to them about it, they all asked us to write down the name, author, where they can get it, etc. Looks like we are now going to have a POPW study group before church on Wed. nights!!! Praise the Lord!!! One lady was complaining about her H, that prayer wouldn't work for him, etc. I told her how this book changed my life, and that the prayers were making a difference in my H too. By the end of worship time, she asked for the name of the book too! Isn't God fantastic! I am so thankful He heard my prayer asking to be able to attend church tonight. Our God is so awesome.<P>Sorry for getting so wordy. Sometimes I get carried away.<P>Love to you all,<BR>MTAW

Im so happy for you and your anwered prayers. I pray that God will continue His blessings in your life...<P>Praise His Name!!!!<P>------------------<BR>Jesus is the only answer!<BR>His blessings, Cozy
