NIKI 28 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I'm in need of some prayer. I just want to start with I'm 28 years old and a single mother. I use to live in the IL area and had to move here with my mother because things weren't going right for me in IL. I had to give up my job, apartment, car, well my car was breaking down anyways but my son's dad was in and out so life for me has been a little cloudy. Now, don't get me wrong I know GOD is here but sometimes I don't know. I met this guy and I thought he was about me, but all it seems like he is trying to do is get some tail. My mom feels he ain't about nothing, so once she said that I just kind of back off from him. Anyways here is the thing he has been calling me like crazy even after I broke it off with him, so I haven't answer his calls in two days. I finally answered today but he still is talking crazy!!! I told him that I didn't want to be bothered and he just laugh and said that I was crazy. Anyways I need some prayer because I got a feeling that this guy is lying to his friends about sleeping with me, now I may be wrong but sometimes guys try to play Mr. Big shot because he is way........younger than me. He plays alot of games but I told him that he better not be lying on me because if he is GOD will deal with him. I am sorry that this thread is so long, but can somebody just pray for me as well as me praying for myself because I know if we all pray chains can really be broken. I know that I'm beautifully and wonderfully made, so I want to feel that way and I want GOD to send me a good man in Me and my son's life. Link to post Share on other sites
lonelybird Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi NIKI I join your prayer. Lord will bring you through this situation. and please be patient and totally trust on HIM. This situation is temporary. I am sure the Lord is preparing you for next good man in your life. You don't know where the good man is, but Lord knows. Please remember your situation is totally in control of Lord's hand. God bless Link to post Share on other sites

NIKI, We all go through trials, none are exempt, saved or unsaved. Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Not knowing if you are saved; the good news is… God also answers prayers from the unsaved or people who are not born again. Everyone will learn of God at some point in their lives and up until the time they are called to repentance. Depending on your circumstances and your faith; God will hear and answer your prayers. " For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. . . . He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. " (Job 34:21-22, 26-28) Recall you must ask God first to forgive you of your sins of omission and commission. Then in faith believe before the Lord has answered you tangibly or spiritually. ‘Father in Jesus name we hold up NIKI in prayer today, she is falling low. Her income, her livelihood and transportation lost. She prays for a Christian father for her child and freedom from the accuser. Dear Lord we pray you will open the doors of aid in her behalf, she has need of an automobile, a job to good income… and a Christian man put in her path. Help NIKI, Lord to regain her footing in life. We pray Lord you give her peace that surpasses all understanding and patience for the journey ahead. We pray Lord you bless NIKI who cries out to you for aid Lord. We ask all these things in thy Holy Precious Name Lord…. Amen. We Praise you Lord for the privy to bring our burdens to you at the foot of the cross.’ God Bless* you NIKI I pray the Lord is speedy in your hour of need. Recall sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly. Faith opens doors and patience is a virtue. Fear not ....keep the Faith. Link to post Share on other sites
Author NIKI 28 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thank you LoveHurts!!! I want to really thank you all for your prayers. It's good to know that I'm not alone. My mom just shared with me the other night that my son said something to her which really been bothering me, so I've got alot on my plate right now. The other night that guy called me back and I told him to basically get lost but in a nice way. He just don't want to leave me alone, but I shared with him that he doesn't treat me right and I deserved to be treated like a queen. Then he just says to me that I'm not going anywhere and if I try to leave he is going to hurt me, so I'm a little worried right now because I'm not from this area and just trying to make a living for me and my child. Anyways I'm putting this in GOD's hands because I basically told him that if he doesn't leave me alone that GOD will deal with him. Well....I will keep you guys updated and again thank you.

quankanne Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 niki, you've got my prayers, as well, that you find peace in all of this, and that you find the strength to do what you need to do to get this man out of your life. Incidentally, if he is making threats to harm you, that's when you need to get the police involved because your safety is at risk. If anything, you'll have documentation of this guy's harassment of you. hugs, quank Link to post Share on other sites
Author NIKI 28 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 I also want to thank you quank!!! :) I just want to add that I'm in school/College and the professor told me that so far I got an A in her class, so that made my day. I came home with a big giant smile because that was another thing in mind that I was worried about, but like you all said that GOD is in control. The guy called me again, but of course I didn't answer the phone. I really don't feel like any drama so I just hope he get the picture and just stop calling me aha cause a sista is just trying to get on with life. I guess the only reason why I want to answer his calls sometimes is because I don't feel attractive sometimes and he makes me feel pretty. A guy would look at me and then turn his head and in the back of my mind I'm like DANG......do I look that bad. My son always tells me that I'm pretty, but he's only 3yrs old. :) Well......thanks again and take care. Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 your son will always be the one with the best taste in loving you and finding you attractive! they're just so sweet and full of love at that age, I think that was my favorite age with my nieces and nephews. congratulations on the high grade, that's no small feat when you've got a little one to care for on top of all your studying and your classes. now, tell yourself that you don't need that guy (or any guy, for that matter) to make you feel attractive. That's something that comes from within, it's all about attitude. Do a web search for Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman," and take her message to heart: beauty and sexiness is all about attitude. YOUR attitude, not someone else's. and keep in mind the tale about the bucket of crabs: they all wanted their freedom, yet when one would clamber toward the top of the bucket, the others would pull him down instead of letting him climb over the top. People can be like that, too – they'll say things and flatter you as long as they don't think you're going to do better than they will. Because once they feel threatened, they will do whatever is in their power to drag you back down to the bottom of the bucket. And that is what this guy sounds like he's trying to do. You're much, much better than what he thinks of you. now go look up Maya's poem! Link to post Share on other sites
Author NIKI 28 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hey quank that was a nice poem! I looked it up on Google. hahaha:D Anyways it was so nice that I emailed it to friends. I want to thank you so much for this encouraging word. Again it makes me feel that I'm not alone. I'm just a little nervous, I don't want this guy to start acting up. Hey check this out, I was really liking this guy and I have another thread out saying is he lying that's the topic. Well.....I'm thinking that he was up to no good so I try to cut it off and I prayed to GOD for him to reveal this cat and look at this he keeps calling. He tells me the other night if I try to leave basically he was going to go off. Then he says to me that I'm not going anywhere which really concerns me. Now I did ask GOD to send me someone who would be on me but dagg not a crazy cat. hahahaha I know you're probably thinking why is she laughing at such a time like this. It's just that I'm like WOW!! I'm lost for words. Link to post Share on other sites
RecordProducer Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Anyways I need some prayer because I got a feeling that this guy is lying to his friends about sleeping with me,...and I want GOD to send me a good man in Me and my son's life.Sorry, Niki, but I won't pray for this guy to stop lying that he slept with you or for God to send you a good man... Be modest in your prayers! I only pray for my sons' health - that's it. Not only that, but I say constantly (and I am not even religious): "God, please save my sons from any tragedies and I'll take care of the rest in my life!" I don't expect anything else from God (I don't even pray for myself) and I got everything in my life. You know why? Because I didn't wait for someone to send it to me. I took care of it. No one,no god owes me anything. I've been blessed to better life than so many people and I am appreciative of that in my prayers. I pray for all ill, hungry, homeless, hurt, and poor people... but NOT for those who need to get laid! Sorry. No prayer from me. Link to post Share on other sites
lonelybird Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 NIKI Good for you. Faith and Positive attitude is the key. when you have positive attitude, the positive things would follow. Praise God when you even in a undesirable situation, the good things will follow, golden rule:D . by the way attach youself to the words of God. It is our rock God bless Link to post Share on other sites
Love Hurts Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Niki, during your time of need, and in waiting on the Lord... Please do not take as long as I did to hear Mary K Baxters testimony of Hell. Please listen to her experience of hell. I had heard of ‘Bill Wiese 23 min in hell’, yet Mary K’s is for many that have fallen to attack of or worship of demons. It will open our eyes to Satan, and how he touches lives to cause to rebuke God. Hence loosing eternal salvation in the Lord. Know nothing in this life is as the place of eternal hell for the unsaved. If you are saved, do you know someone that is not saved? Can you help them? http://www.spiritlessons.com/Mary_K_Baxter_A_Divine_Revelation_of_Hell.htm Click on each number to continue to hear her words. (2-18) God Bless* Link to post Share on other sites

I pray for all ill, hungry, homeless, hurt, and poor people... but NOT for those who need to get laid! Sorry. No prayer from me. Record Producer, I have read your words. That you do not pray for yourself. Why would you pray for son and not for your own soul? As much as you desire the blessings of God over him... what of yourself? You love him, do you not care of yourself or love yourself? Please ask God to forgive you of your sins. We are all sinners saved by grace. God forgives us claiming us worthy. Satan tells us through sin we are not worthy. Satans lies lead us away from God and into the pits of hell for all eternity. Satan claims we are not worthy of God. Jesus died for us all we sinners; claiming we are worthy. Life is short and one day its over. Soon we will have missed our opportunities to claim Jesus as our Lord and Savior and we shall wake in the pits of eternity never to have another chance toward the Lord our Savior… lost forever. None of us have the promise of tomorrow. And eternity never ends. Wont you reconsider the Lord as your savior and claim you are worthy in the Lord. Step on the head of the Serpent and be a victor over the lies of the enemy. Jesus did not die in vain… He died for you and for me. What does it take to tell another, the gift of salvation of the heart is free and of limited time for the asking? Please reconsider your eternity in the Lord. Of the homeless and the hungry of today; those that suffer now and know the Lord as their savior. …those that are saved amongst them, for all eternity they shall walk and reign with the King of kings and Lord of lords... for all eternity streets of Gold are before them. The joys of the Lord are theirs. A little suffering upon earth is nothing compared to eternal damnation. Money and good things of this life will not save us from hell. These are temporary gifts. Soon they will be left beind for other to quarrel over. Alone without salvation in the Lord, Satan will claim your soul. Do you realize that money is not to buy Salvation with. I can tell you money is a fools gold....a man I call x husband worships money... I have seen it first hand. Seen what materialistic value of life does to a person as this man hates his children and loves his money. He has no knowledge of God. I divorced that man that did not know the Lord. He would practically kill over money... and hates his own children who could use a few dollars of help on their lifes way. Satan has this man, I have tried to this day to tell him of the Lord. Still he has deaf ears and baths in his money. He also appears to enjoy the sufferings of others. It seems to make him feel supperior in their weakness. How sad. He is one that loves his money over God. Many love other things and God is not at the top of the list nor at the bottom or any part of the list. What does it take to wake another soul and tell them this worlds life is a test; full of temptations and distractions to take us from the Lord who is continually calling us to Himself. Why do I speak of this man now? Its him and his way... I dont know... I dont know you are why you dont pray for yourself. We all have our own reasons. Only the Lord knows your heart. I have told of this mans reason. You do have a reason of your own that perhaps you can bring to light and say its timeto let go of the reasons of this life and look into eternity with the Lord. I pray your son as well as my own come to the Lords salvation (I pray for my own as I just found out today he is not saved and that he had a mental assent to the Lord..he told me ...how sad) I also pray you come to the Lord, and out of the hands of the enemy. Tomorrow is not promised and how many times can you reject the offer of Salvation... until the offer of ...is no more....eternity opens and choice is gone forever.

RecordProducer Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Why would you pray for son and not for your own soul? I do pray kinda for myself, too, but mostly because my kids need me. I value my life, I am happy, but if I had to die tomorrow, I wouldn't care for me, because when you're dead - you're dead, you know nothing. However my sons need me alive so in that sense when I pray for them, I wish to be here for them. Besides, I can take care of myself, but they need me and some good luck. Praying privately in a nice way to find the right person I understand, but believing that God or Life owes you meeting Mr. Right and engaging other people to pray for you is ridiculous. I have better things to pray for, like all the ill children, for example. Link to post Share on other sites

bluetuesday Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 niki, i understand why you've asked other people to pray for you, but what you are asking (for god to send you a good man and to stop someone lying about you) is perhaps not the highest prayer you could make. god gave you a brain and hands and feet so you could be in charge of your life. god is not a giant santa claus waiting to be asked nicely before he can give you something. and god certainly will not come and sweep away a bad situation for you - you helped to create that situation and you have to put it right. ask god to show you the way, to guide you, to help you realise what you did that perpetuated it, and ask for help in staying strong by all means. but god won't interfere with the free will of the man who may be lying about you. your role in that situation is NOT to stop the man from lying, it is to rise above anything he does and trust that being kind and forgiving towards those who harm you is its own reward. as RP said, there are many genuine calls for prayer. i will happily pray for strength for you, for understanding and for a positive outcome to your situation. but i won't ask god to send you a man because a man may not be the answer to your problems. the answer for you may be to realise that being worried about what other people think about you is pointless, or it may be to realise that being attached to an idea of how your life ought to be (ie thinking you need a man in it) is really what you need help with.

Author NIKI 28 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks to everyone who has reply with descent messages. Anyways I'm going to disregard what recordproducer is saying because you're in straight denile buddy, so I'm just going to keep you in prayer because it sounds like you need it more than I do. Especially when you come on my thread trying to take over what I posted. This thread isn't about you, it's about what I'm going through, so I'm not going to go back and forth with you and your stupidiness. Like I said I'll just keep you and your sons in prayer and pray that GOD continuously blesses ya'll. It's good that you've got a good life, but if you haven't been through something like my pastor always use to say. JUST KEEP LIVING!!! Like or not baby WE ALL......got to go through something here on earth which is called life. Anyways I want to thank everyone else for their prayers and support and again take care. :) Link to post Share on other sites
Author NIKI 28 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 You know what maybe what I posted didn't sound right because some of you all that are coming on my thread think that I'm tripping off a man. It's not that, I just want GOD to help me to be content with my situation that I'm in now. I mean don't get me wrong I would love for GOD to bless me with a good husband, but until then to help me be content with the life that I have right now. That's all I'm asking and sweety I've got a brain that GOD has bless me with, street smarts and also book smarts because I got an A in my class so I'm not going to let you blue or recordproducer down me for praying for a situation that goes on in my life. I don't know if you all realize that you're judging me which is a SIN so before you try to judge me. Take the speck out of your own eye. GOOD DAY!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly my point! Having faith is one thing, but feeling helpless and surrender to it won't get you far. I'm not going to go back and forth with you and your stupidiness. With that kind of langauge, you won't attract or keep Mr. Right even if he shows up. Like I said I'll just keep you and your sons in prayer and pray that GOD continuously blesses ya'll. And I pray for you and your child to be blessed, too! It's good that you've got a good life, but if you haven't been through something like my pastor always use to say. I've been through hell in my life. I's been sexually abused, divoced with two babies, lonely, depressed, jobless, rejected... What do you others don't have problems? They do, some of them are bigger than yours, but you suck it up and fight. Nobody owes you happiness. You take care of your own life. Too bad you couldn't see my genuine advice - that YOU should take charge of your own happiness and not wait for it to fall from the sky right in front of you. You would rather hear that people pray for you. You actually want people to pity you and it bothers you that I told you to do soemthign about your own problems. WE ALL......got to go through something here on earth which is called life. All, except you. You think that God should send you a good man and get you out of your emotional problems.

Author NIKI 28 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 You know.....like I said before I'm not going to go back and forth with you. You are obviously not getting my point. I want you to go back and read my last 2 threads and I'm just going to leave off on that note. I've been through the ringer myself as well as my son, but I'm doing what I can for me and him right now. I do want others to pray for me also because all of us can stand for a little prayer sometimes, so that's on you and I'm not upset with you recordproducer because one thing I do realize is that everyone is intitle to their own opinion. I again want to thank the others for praying for me and believe me it's not for a man. It's to be content in my situation and THAT'S what my prayer was really for, so if you got a chance go back and read it again before you start judging me. This my dear is all in a nice manner all smiles! :) Link to post Share on other sites

I have better things to pray for, like all the ill children, for example. Record Producer, Satan has lied to you. There is life after death. We are to live on eternally and never die. This life is merely a short time of decision. To hear of and decide what path we shall journey onto in the afterlife. I’m certain by now the Lord has tried to reach you many times to let you know of His Love for you. By now you have heard the words of Jesus and His Salvation. You have heard there is a Heaven and that there is a Hell. That Jesus died for us… that we sinners have the ability to repent of our sins through the blood of the Lord and claim Salvation. By now you have heard and have rejected the word of God. How many times will you have a chance to hear? One-day life will be over and as it is shown in Luke 16 parable of the rich man in hell...sinners go to hell and take their lives memories with them. Its just another tormentation of eternity. Every soul will recall the times Salvation was offered and rejected. None will hold the Lord accountable for their fate. Unsaved we are labeled sinner and cannot enter Heaven. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8 ) We are all sinners saved by grace. Saved upon asking the Lord to come into our hearts. That request of the heart determines our eternity. Jesus claims us worthy; Satan lies and tells us we are not. Satan lies to collect the unsuspecting souls of earth for all eternity. Jesus loves us… but He cannot make us claim Salvation. A mans heart must choose. We all must come to the Lord upon His call on our own. I pray you consider Salvation and know above all things our life on earth shall end and eternity will begin with our loving the True Living God… Jesus who died for us … that though Salvation we will live with our Lord for all eternity. Many claim Hell is not a literal place, That Satan and demons are not real. Jesus wants to save us from that place. Any unsaved can wake up in darkness and find no way out; remorse and deep grieving sadness for not making a decision for the Lord when they could have will rule their eternal spirit as the fires and torments of hell swallow the unsaved souls. I do pray you find the Lord Jesus and claim Him as the God of your heart. Again how much time do any of us have? As we may; walk in the Valley of Decision. And time may not be in our favor as not one day is promised to any of us. Wont you reconsider the Lord Jesus as your Savior today? I pray you do claim the Lord as your personal Savior.

lonelybird Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 NIKI People tend to think us as what THEY think. It's ok, we are all imperfect human beings:p . Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. But his answer was: "My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak." I will keep praying, Lord will guide you and teach you all you need. Recently I was a little fired up, got irritated by some misunderstandings. then when I read the Bible, there was part of them highlight to me. when Jesus got crucified and His disciples got stoned, before dead they said "Father please forgive them cause they don't know what they are doing". It remind me how Lord love us, everyone of us. Have a good day God bless Link to post Share on other sites
