There are many diffrent types of abuse, unfortunitly it seems to be on the rise in our nation and our homes, I wanted to share this with all of you. <P> Prayer<P> Father, Your Word says that You loved me and my family so much that You sent Your son, Jesus, to die for our sin so we could live with You forever. You said that You would give us a new life that is wonderful and rich. I pray that I may become like You, for I am Your child and You love me.<P> By Your grace, Father, I will live my life in love. Your love in me is not a feeling, but a decision requiring more than mere words. As a Christian I am "light" , and I will live my life as a child of the light. The light produces in me all that is good and right and true.<P> Lord, lead me in paths of righteousnessfor Your names sake. I purpose to live, with a due sense of responsibility, not as others who do not know the meaning of life but as one who does. Direct me by your Holy Spirit that I may make the best use of my time, despite all the evils of these days.<P> Father, there was a time that You looked for an intercessor. I am willing to stand in the gap and make up the hedge so that my family will not suffer judgement. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict, convince, and demonstrate to us about sin, righteousness,and judgement. Give us a heart of flesh, send a laborer of the harvest to share with us the Gosprel of the glory of Christ, the Messiah.<P> I thank You, Father, that each family member who is lost recieves and confesses that Jesus is his/her Lord, and I ask that Your will be done in his/her life. It is You Who rescues him/her from the dominion of darkness, and You translate him/her into the Kingdom of the Son of Your love. In the name of Jesus, I ask that You help him/her grow in grace, that he/she may experiance Your love and trust You to be his/her Father.<P> Lord, reveal the steps that I should take to break what appears to be a generational curse. The sins of the fathers are being in our household, and I do not want this curse passed down to my children.<P> Father, Your Word says that we are ovecomers by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony. In the name of Jesus, I am commiting my life to You - to obey You. Show me the path of life for me and my family.<P> Uncontrollable, irrational anger, rage, and abuse are a curse. Your Son Jesus was made a curse for us ; therefore, I put on Your whole armor that I may be able to successfully stand against all the strategies and deceits of the devil.<P> In the name of Jesus, I am the redeemed, and I plead the blood of Jesus over my family. I thank You that the evil power of abuse is broken, overthrown, and cast down out of my family. The abuse is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear ; and where everything is visible and clear there is light. Darkness can never overcome Your Light Father.<P> You sent Jesus to bind up our heartaches and to heal our pain. The Bible says that You sent Your Word to heal us and to deliever us from our own destructions. Give us the grace and faith to recieve healing and to forgive those who have abused us ; and thank You for the courage to make amends to those whom we have harmed.<P> Teach us how to guard our hearts with all diligence. I declare and decree that we are growing in grace and the knowledge of You, developing the trust we need to recieve Your transforming power to change. I make my petions known to You with thanksgiving, in the name of Jesus, Amen <BR><P>------------------<BR>Just call me - Deb<BR>------------------------<BR>The only day I can do anything about is today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet mine.<P>

I have been at the hospital. John had a m/c accident a little over 2 weeks ago and I have been with him. He nearly died.<P>Now I have to face the alcohol issue and I don't want to. I am so afraid that I will lose him. And I love him so much. But if I don't confront it I may lose him anyway.<P>I hate this stuff. I like fixing things not this stuff. So pray for my strength and wisdom.<BR>God bless you
