For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:33-35
Dear sister Wendy.....
do not appologise for asking for prayer... the day we can not ask each other for prayerful support would be dark and miserable indeed.... but rather, let us rejoice that we can turn to the Lord and his Body, the Church, and seek His blessings of life and joy in the Holy Ghost.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
For the body is not one member, but many.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 1 Corinthians 12:12-16
Sister.... If I could briefly suggest to you a thing or two that I believe will help you immensely....?
. Often we seek so much for now.... we seek hard for answers and results for this day and the days to come..... and in doing so, we can miss the hope He has given us, the rejoicing in His Salvation.... the newness of life that is to come in full. We dwell now in tents... passing our time here until He returns in glory...
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:13-14
...and if we can but hold fast to His promise and make good of the love He freely bestowed upon us the moment we believed.... how we would give thanks continually and praise His name from the depths of our hearts... singing always a song of sweet praise.....
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:14-18
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
(For we walk by faith, not by sight
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2Corinthians 5:1-8
There is much darkness in this world... there is also many dire struggles and wars.... we still must fight against our flesh..... and it is at the level of the flesh we are most hurt and pained.... and when we give way to the flesh, it wastes no time being an agent for the enemy to reap destruction to our souls.... if it were possible.
So why am I saying all this? Sister Wendy... I pray you do not lose hope...that you look to the Lord and see His spledour and glory and saving grace in YOUR life and know He is good..... and I pray you see past your flesh to your soul and spirit and allow Him to lift you and carry you to His green pastures... and I pray that you find in Him a solace and stillness where you can praise Him for giving His life for you that you may be free from the temporary burdens of this time, that you learn to wait on Him and watch for Him with expectant hope and adoration.... and pray that in doing all this, you rejoice in the Lord and overflow with His joy, knowing that He has you in His hands as His precious and eternal child... that Jesus knows all your present troubles and fears and only wants for you to be at peace now and always, trusting Him with everything and everybody in your life.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15
Bless you Wendy ....><>

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:3-9
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13
