Hello! I am a mother of four wonderful children. And I am a active member of my church. I am the youth leader there, and we have a awesome youth group. We have a awesome pastor. We have some awesome singers. But in the midst of this awesome church. I often find myself overwhelmed with a burden, and I weep. Sometimes I feel its for our youth. Our pastor. Sinners, this nation and other things. But Sunday I was burdened all day, and I found myself shaken into the very core of my heart as I cried. Than I went to church that night, and the spirit of God was amazing, and I felt completely free like a butterfly soaring over my feelings finding inner peace. Well during praise and worship. God said go to the altar and pray and at first I hesitated, but than I went. And again I wept and cried like a baby, but God present was soo very strong. I have been really sensitive hear lately, the news. The faces of the hurting. People having finanicial difficulties has brought tears of sorrow to my eyes. And I weep. But this morning my hubby left me and my four kids with nothing. Cause I dont work, but I will. And I am overwhelmed with confusion, and hurt. I wonder did I go wrong somewhere. I am trying to be postive, and strong! I wonder why everybody around me seems so estaticially happy, and I am afraid. Just please keep us in your prayers. Thank you

His Precious Gift Answers,

I was so involved in what you were sharing with us that I had to go to our Lord in prayer for your situation immediately. I know the Holy Spirit guides us in our prayers as we pray for others’ needs. Your heart has been heavy with many needs, and as you pray and weep it just shows your compassion for others and most important for the lost. Prayer is absolutely dependent upon faith. You are a prayer warrior.

I see you wear many hats as a mother of 4 and also active member of your church. God is using you in a very special way because one of God’s highest callings is interceding for people. Sometimes our hurts are so deep that we just don’t know how to pray. Many people live behind a wall; outside of the wall, everything seems to be fine, but on the other side of the wall is a different story.

As Christians, this is a season of joy because it represents our Lord and Savior’s birthday, the One who came to give us life, but that does not mean that sometimes there is not some sadness in our heart. Amanda, I believe that if we focus on always putting God first in our lives as things and situations seems to overwhelm us, He will always be there; what a joy to know that we can trust in the Lord and not lean to our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). When you trust God there is always peace. Keep your mind on Him; you need to be anchored in God’s word. Remember that confusion and fear always comes from the enemy. I don’t know if this is something you feel comfortable doing, but consider speaking with your pastor, and praying with him. You need someone that you can talk to and pray with.

I want to encourage you, no matter what you are going through or will face in the future, God knows your situation. He will always provide for you, protect you and your family, and bring you to an expected end (Jer. 29:11). Take refuge in Him and trust Him (Psalm 34:8). Our Lord is the final authority. You may not know exactly how He is going to solve the situation, just know that He will, He will make a way.

I love you, my sister, and I pray for God’s awesome peace to fill your heart.

Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard the sound of my pleadings.
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
in Him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to Him.

The LORD is the strength of His people; He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
O save Your people, and bless Your heritage; be their Shepherd, and carry them forever. Psalm 28:6-9

Dear Amanda,

Just wanted to add a scripture the Lord gave me for you–it’s Ps. 32:7-8. Take comfort in the truth of His word and rely on His faithfulness to do what you can’t.

Much love,
Beloved by Him
