God, please answer my prayer
78I have struggled all my life. From the time I was a little girl, my life has been hard and many times unhappy. Although my life has been difficult, I always kept a smile when looking at someone. People I knew, as well as strangers, had no idea how sad my life was. When I was a teenager, all I kept saying was that I couldn't wait until I was 21 years old, because I knew my life would be better then it was as a teen. Then when I was in my early 20's, I couldn't wait until I was in my 30's, then 40's. My life has gotten better as the years went on but, I was still struggling and not really happy. Life has never been easy for me. I have always had to work at making my life a little better. Now I am in my late 40's and I can't wait until I am 50 years old. I know my life will be a bit easier. It seems that every ten years my life did get a bit easier although I was still struggling. I came to believe that having to struggle was a way of life for me. I currently own a home and I have 3 daughters that I thank God for everyday. Currently I am having financial problems and can no longer afford to live in my home. So I am trying to sell it myself. I don't want to list with a realitor because of there fee requirements when it sells. I need every penny I can make when my home sells. So I pray to God everyday asking him to send someone to buy my home. I usually don't ask God for anything except this time I am asking him for help. I don't want anything for free. All I want is to sell my home so I can buy another one but much smaller and one I can afford to live in. Not only do I have to down size my home but I have to move to another neighborhood that I can afford to live in. I have always gotten the things I need myself. No one has ever helped me financially or emotionally. So I ask God "please help me sell my home before the year ends, please". If my home sells, this would make me so very happy and would help my financially situation alot.

Hi Sherry ;0)
You will be in our prayers...I will also pray that God will reavel himself to you in a way that you have never thought possible and as the Father you have never had and fill you with hope and love that you have alwalys longed for ;0) Thsi is a hard and unfair world and I do not trust in it or man or religion or church for that mater...but I do trust and love My father God and i have been were you are and he has never let me down.....just this am I wrote this as a response to a hub
Great hub...you know I was just thinking as I read your hub. That this year...Cynthia and I got married feb26. Cynthia was laid of April, and then cracked her ribs, her graves sickness came back, she miscarried about 2 weeks ago at her 4th month and my business has died a death and now by faith we are moving to Bend and all this to say I have never felt closer to her and to God than right now. When our baby daughter Ileana died a friend let us have his beach house for a week and we buried her by a tree on the beach. And yet through all this my hope in God is getting stronger...Did I question God? You Bet! Did it make me want to pack up and quit NO! Actually it makes me want to praise and thank God for a really great year :0) So yes I’m very Thankful and growing deeper in to the true meaning of Love this year:):):):):) Love in Jesus Mike :0)
Again hI`m adding you and your daughters to our prayer List...you have friends out here and a father in heaven Loves you...so tonight as you crawl into Bed...Imagine you are crawling onto his lap and cry it all out to him and hold nothing back , be real and if you dont belive in him let him know..he wont fall of his throne ;) Later your friends in Jesus MIKE and Cynthia :0)
Ps thought I would share this story with you :0)
It was early in the morning I was heading north bound on Highway 97 about 30 miles north of Klamath falls Oregon. The sky was clear and the temp was in the 90`s and i was doing one of my favourite things....I had been gone for 3 days riding my !1985 BMW k100 motorcycle ..the worlds rolls Royce of bikes:) I have ridden many bikes before, but in my estimation no other bike comes close..those Germans know what they are doing vvvvvvvvrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I had just had breakfast at a roadside cafe and now relaxed and well fed I opened up the throttle and sped north through the morning air and vast high desert of good old Oregon.....I was feeling truly alive and gloriously present. this is living I thought to myself..I wish my dad could see me know living my dream in the US of A..
As a child growing up in Ireland , I had always dreamt of riding through the desserts of cowboy land and sleeping under the stars and now I was riding a wonderful piece of engineering and playing in my own westerns!! YAY for me:)
Then a thought came to me...pull over and make a memorial..yes just like that.....Ok God! I will and so i looked for a side road, found one ,propped the beamer on the the stand and walked down a sandy embankment to a clearing in the high desert pines. ( Seven years before I had left Church and organized religion and embarked on a journey of self discovery and had come into a deeper and more meaningful relationship with my creator)
So I looked around for some rocks to make a memorial but could only find wood. That will do i thought and so I knelt down and placed my right hand on the sand and with my left plied the small clump of wood on top. Ok! God what to you want me to say.... and the words just flowed out....I told God that the old Michael Quinlan with all his hurts and fears was dead and gone and the new man was alive and ready to live . So I stood up and felt the most tremendous peace envelope me.
While this was going on my cell phone rang, it was my friend Sonya. Mike where are you..out in the desert I said..... when are you coming back..don't know I replied..Hey guess what just happened I said and filled her in ...wow she said and we agreed to meet in a few days for tea and hung up.
I climbed the embankment and feeling like a new man hopped on the beamer and sped north.....wow ...that was great I thought reliving the moment, I felt so free..... and then it happened! No I did not crash lol.. All of a sudden I knew I was not alone and could sense something coming up on the left side of the bike and as i looked the most beautiful vision pulled up and rode alongside of me....It was a golden motorcycle and it looked like a cross between an Indian bike and Harley and riding it was God and his hair and beard were flowing in the wind and a big gin was on his face..
Before I could get a word out..he said..is`nt this great...( I always knew he was with me ..but this was so cool...for a kid that always wanted to go riding with his earthly dad and it had never happened... this was the ultimate :0) ) Then i had a strong urge to check my right mirror and I saw another bike coming up fast...I recognized the white helmet and the black leathers with red stripes down the arms and the brown bull nose tank of a Kawasaki 750..IT was My DAD..I began to weep uncontrollably ( My Dad had died 9yrs ago ) he drew up along side me quickly and Glanced over at me...there was no face in the helmet only his spirit..I felt such unconditional love for him like I had never known before ..the author of many of my troubles in life..I was now loving freely and unshackled from ..words can not describe how I truly felt..alive would be an understatement lol..
Through my tears and joy I kept thinking I have to watch the road. That was some moment ! all three of us Riding north On highway 97 on the breathtaking ride of our lives..well mine anyway:)
It seemed like it went on for ever or that time stood still and then it was over and I wept all the way to the high desert museum just outside of bend (and managed to keep the bike on the road) had a long rest and reflection on the past couple of hours...alot more happened on that trip....an encounter with a bear etc..but that's another story...thanks for stopping by...later Mike
Mike! whooo hooo that is an awesome story. I cannot tell you how much God on a golden harley just made me smile from ear to ear. You have the best stories!!! I have similar instances, every now and again I get this urge and kneel down and start praying and crying and just getting it out I guess.
Sometimes I will be in the hall way other times, in the bathroom lol, I know huh if that isn't a private moment! It does the same to me as well, when I am done I just feel at peace and I never really understand why I do it, but it does feel like that old saying, "pray at the appointed time".
Of course the churches would say it is this time or that time, but for me, and like you, well that appointed time is whenever it happens to be, either on the road in Oragan (love Oregon by the way, grew up in Washington but always like Oregon better), in the hallway, or in the bathroom taking care of business.
You are such a delight, can you hit God up for too. Tell him it has been a while since I have seen him, ok only like year but I feel pretty selfish asking to see him all the time, you know...
much love to you brotha Mike!!!!
Thanks sandy ;)
Wrote you a reply on your new hub!!!!
Mike :):):):)
Sherry, God is thrilled that you asked for His help to sell your home. "May the Lord grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed." - Psalm 20:4.
Sherry,
Before responding to your prayer hub I took a look at your profile.
You seem like a lady who has her head on straight in regard to God.
So I feel more comfortable in responding. Note that I didn’t say answering your prayer – only God can do that. Nor did I say that I have the answers – only God has the answers.
There is a lot I don’t know, but one thing I do know is that God cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you”. NKJV
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." NKJV
I also know that everyone has (or thinks they have) answers. I do not. I’ve learned that we have to be there first. We have to walk in your shoes. Yes, I’ve walked in those shoes to some degree as much of my writing will reveal, but that doesn’t mean I have all the answers.
I also know that spending time in His Word and listening to Him in prayer is essential to being in tune with what He wants to do in your life.
Talking and listening to Him is like breathing – breath in the Word and breath out the prayer – that’s life.
You have asked the right Person for help, I will keep this need in my prayer life and share the need with Barbie; my prayer warrior.
I can’t answer your prayer, but I can agree with you in prayer.
Blessings ~ eddie
3 John 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. NKJV
helo my name is diane, and am 24
i am someone who loves God, and adores him. i just want to shame abit of my story with you.
i came to the uk as a little girl and was only seven years old.and i came with my older sister and her boyfriend.we then recieved our family living to remain after six months her boyfriend recieved his,so as my older sister . But i didnt recieve mine. we lived together for some years then they started having problems.then they ended up spliting up.all i kept doing was going to school knowing that my stayters was good. I couldnt travel on school trips because i never had a passport every time i ask my sister,about my passport she always said it would get solted out. as i reached 20 i started having complication regarding my papers. every time i showed the copy of the family live to remain they kept refusing telling me it wasnt useful that i should provide my own live to remain. I even went to the home office and never got helped i kept praying and fasting and nothing was solted. sometimes i felt as if God forgoten about me. i felt like the most uncluky girl in the world so i was soo depress, i asked myself soo many questions, if ive done something wrong that the lord is angry with me,but i always asked God to forgive me for all my sins. I went to the Mp they said i should find a soliciter i went to two different soliciters and one of them adviced me to go to legal aits soliciters i did and they asked me to bring all the proofs of the school i attented in the uk so i did.every yeah i keep on praying and hoping to be answed and no good respond.and all that the home office would say, is to wait. sometimes i feel as if i missed out in life specially on my studies and travelling. i lost my Dad this year in May and couldnt go back to my country for my Dads berial because of my doccument.i cant even get into a club because they ask for IDs and is a shame to me because ive been in the uk for about 17 years now. It is realy hard with me because thinking about my situation,it just makes me weep almost every day.and because of the church i go to, God gives me strengh, and the pastors in church helps me build more faith in God and to learn how to trust in him.
I know how it feels. I feels as if I have really screwed up now and god, mary, joseph, his followers, or the angels can help me now. Although I pray that god and all of them come through for me. I really need them. I know I've made a promise in the past, and I broke it. But this time I promise I will not. You guys, I am young and really stupid (yes, I'll admit) all I pray for is that god and all of them come through for me again. Please pray for me also that my prayer will be answered. I am stressed, worried, and scared. Thank you. god bless
may the lord grant you his mercy and strength.
HEY GOD I REALY BELIVE IN U
UM god i bean sow much this time of day since along time since i waz litol please help me please thank u
Dear Friends,
Please pray for my hubby who has lost the job and now he has been selected in a company and the offer letters are pending ... kindly ask jesus to help me immediately for my financial situation.
Remya: I am sorry it took so long to get back to you. I am not been feeling well in the last 6 months. But I am feeling better. I hope he got the job. If not I am truely sorry. I know there is another company out there waiting for the right person, which will be your hubby, to hire.
Jesus ...you have known my prayer ...and fasting for...please answer my prayer father....please send me the news....as for what i am waiting for...
Lord you know my prayers. I trust in you with all my heart and know that you already have a plan for me. Please hear my prayers and bless my family. Thank you Jesus!
I need someone to pray for me. I spent most of my life helping others and now I need help and its not there. I don't want to go into the details of my problems, but I would like God to give me tendernous and mercy once before I die. Thank you.
Just ask God what you need and for your financial, emotional, and spiritual life. He will bless you.
As a young girl, I was brought up in a family with modest means. I always dreamt of earning well to help my family rise to better financial situation. With alot of struggle, I had managed to get a job and helped my family emotionally and financially in getting me married. I got married and moved on to a new city. I landed up with the wrong boss who just didn't have an open mind and who directly attacked my dignity. I'm out of job now and I have tried searching for another job through many employment agencies. I have I'm loosing patience as I always dreamed of a successful career. But it seems that I am shrouded with bad luck and nothing seems to be working right for me. God please help me and show me the way. I also wish some day that my ex-boss realises his mistake and understands that I am in this situation because of his immaturity and his eccentricity. Please, please help me god, I really need you to help me get the right job and get my career back on track. Please!
Do you really believe God answers our prayers? DO you really believe God loves us and wants the best for us? Then why doesn't he answer my prayers. Faith is believing without seeing yet don't you think I tried that. I believe Jesus is the Son of God and his word is truth so then why doesn't he answer my prayers? Life has never been easy for me NEVER. What does God want from me he says he's no respecter of persons then why does he act like he really is a respecter of persons. Lets some people have money and others not, the rich get richer and I get it up the kazoo every time.

I kept asking God to find someone to buy my car so that it wouldn't disturb my credit or all that other stuff that happens when your car/house get's repoed.
God didn't answer and even some people that I asked to pray to God for me said they wouldn't pray for it.
yip, i am only 30, feel the same way, this is just how my life is meant to be, a continued struggle for just about everything from love to a home to food on the table to God even.
I pray for the best and that God will answer you but if not, if it means anything, he didn't answer me either.
Chin up and God bless hug those girls of yours as tight as you can and I guess (not that I need to tell you at all) at least you have your children you love you no matter what. :)
