Request posted by Anita ( Name changed)

Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ's power can rest on me. 2 Corinthian 12:8-9.

Every now and then we will be faced with severe adversities in our lifetimes and will ask the question; why me? We feel as though we are being punished for something that we may have done wrong. At times, our suffering may seem more than we can bear.

Trials and tribulations will come against you through no fault of your own. How you deal with these adversities is the true measure of your character. Most of the times, we have no control over what we are going through. However, we can control how we respond.

If you have lost your job, your house or your car, know that God is still on your side. If the bills are not paid, or something unbearable hooks up, don’t despair. God can make a way out for sure. Maybe the man or woman that you loved is gone. Know that God sometimes needs for us to be alone so that we can develop a relationship with Him first.

Whatever your situation may be, know that God has already said, He would never leave you nor forsake you. He can provide all of your needs. He is Your mother and your father. He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

No matter what life deals you; God is still in control.

How to Make Important Decisions
Here are some simple steps which are designed to help you make right decisions.
1. Get quiet. Only a quiet mind can think at efficiently. Find a quiet place, sit down and compose yourself.
2. Repeat three times, "Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory." (Psalm 73:24)
3. Imagine God's advice passing into your mind. If you must have that advice today, you will get it. If you do not need it until next week, let us say Monday at eleven o'clock, you will have it then, if you believe that you will, and if you keep calm and continue to pray and think.
4. Ask yourself, "What would Jesus do in this decision?" He would do the right thing, would he not? Right now, ask God to take all wrong and error out of your heart. Remember that right can never come out wrong. To get right answers, you have to be right.
5. Do not hurry. Allow your problem to simmer in the mind. Never force a decision.
6. Thank God for giving you the right answer, for He is giving it to you. Thank Him for the great happiness that is in your heart.
7. Having received your answer, trust it. Take it with faith and thanksgiving. If you have sought God's counsel and prayed earnestly, your answer will come up as a clear, bright light burning in the mind. Trust it. God will see you through.

Today's Scripture *February 19, 2009*

Job 21:22

“But who can teach a lesson to God,
Since he judges even the most powerful?

Although baffled by the reasons for his suffering, Job affirmed God's superior understanding by asking, "Who can teach a lesson to God?".

The way you respond to your personal struggles shows your attitude toward God. Rather, than becoming angry with God, continue to trust Him, no matter what your circumstances may be. Although it is sometimes difficult to see, God is in control. We must commit ourselves to Him so we will not resent His perfect timing.

“God is in control”
Lyrics:-

This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don’t lose the vision here
Carried away by the motion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together

God is in control
We believe that His children
Will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember
And never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him we know
Oh… God is in control
Oh… God is in control

History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever

God is in control
We believe that His children
Will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember
And never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him we know
Oh… God is in control
Oh… God is in control

He has never let you down
Why start to worry now
Why start to worry now
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me….
Watching over me (6)

Watching over you
Watching over
Every little sparrow
Every little king….

God is in control
We believe that His children
Will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember
And never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him we know
Oh… God is in control

God is giving you and your mother an opportunity to serve HIM through your uncle don't miss this blessing will be eternal.
God Bless!

pls keep chanting lords name when ever u get uneasy

Servant of God

by Ivan Lobo on 20th Feb, 2009

Praise & Thank God on all situation, no matter what or for whom. for e.g. "Lord Jesus I praise and thank you for my mother who uses abusive languages. Lord Jesus I Praise and thank you for my uncle who is sick and is ill treated by all around me" Continue these praises to Lord Jesus without ceasing and see the results. What you are doing is converting any curses into blessings. The word of God says in Thes 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you"

Prayer

by Michael Fernandes on 20th Feb, 2009

Dear Anita, each of us come to a situation wherein we tend to become weak and we don't know how to control over the emotions. Please lift up all the trouble during the Holy Eucharist, specially during the elevation (offertory) and offer it to Jesus. Remember the incidence when Jesus and his disciples were in their boat crossing over the other side and there was a great storm... Similarly things will change if we too can have little faith that something good is on its way and that we need to pray. God Bless!

your uncle

by Lourdes on 20th Feb, 2009

Missionaries of Charity have their homes for the destitutes. Your Uncle has become almost like a destitute, with no one to take care of him, even by his own people. Please approach these homes, if you are in Mumbai, this home is located on the Hansabad Lane, Santacruz West, Mumbai. They will willingly take him and he will get all the attention from them. He will much, much happier.

Only Jesus can help........

by Sebastian D'Souza on 20th Feb, 2009

Dear Anita,
Christian greetings. Your problem seems to be common as we hear such stories these days. I mean not to insult you but it is a fact that this world is full of such incidents. Your heart seems to be different from your mother's. Your mother is just doing what the world does. Your mother's eyes have been blinded by the God of this world. And who is that God? The Devil. Yes devil is the God of this world. He is ruling this world. His main work is to create enmity among people. His weapons are anger, jealousy, hatred,envy, pride etc. He uses his weapons crafty that those who handle them are seldom aware of it. For example your mother is angry with your uncle for the reason what he has done to her. And that is but natural. This happens only in this world. But kingdom of God is different. Kingdom of God is love,joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. If you come in this kingdom of God, you will have all these things. For that you have to come to Jesus. He is the only living God who can help you. First commit your life to him and he will help you to overcome all the troubles of your life. Troubles are always there in our lives but our gracious God gives you his own grace to overcome problems. When you receive Jesus as your personal saviour,he will help you in every situation. First he will change your life and there after he will change your mother also. You have to take initiative and accept Jesus. I don't know you neither your religion but that makes no difference as all are sinners and all need the saviour. And that saviour is Jesus. He is alive and he is the only God. So come to him and say this prayer when you are alone. " Lord Jesus I believe that i am a sinner. I also believe that you died for my sins. Lord Jesus please forgive my sins and cleanse my heart with your precious blood and accept me as your child. Lord Jesus thank you for forgiving my sins and making me your child. Loving Jesus give me the gift of the Holy Spirit. I want to commit my life to you. I promise to read your word everyday.I also promise to obey your teaching. Loving Father I worship and praise you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. "
If you say this prayer Jesus will come in your heart and he will change your life first and there after through you he will change everybody around you when you start praying for them. For that you have to take first step forward and say the prayer. And allow him to do the rest. He will change your mother. You cannot afford to be just a spectator but take a bold step and accept Jesus as your personal saviour. Jesus has changed my life. He will also change your life too. Read bible, if you don't have buy one and start reading from John's gospel. Read one or two chapters and meditate on the same when you are alone and pray to Jesus asking him to help you in solving problems which you are facing. Talk to him as you talk to another person. He will listen to every word you speak and he will definitely help you. Millions of people have done and received heavenly help from Jesus. You also can do it. Jesus is the answer for the world today. Bye.

God is still in control

by Lena Pinto on 20th Feb, 2009

Hello Anita,
Perhaps your mum must have been very badly hurt in the past and hence this sort of behavior. Let us pray that God may plant the seed of forgiveness in her heart. Also say the prayer to St. Jude atleast 9 times in a day.

Rosary of liberation

by Celia Cardozo on 20th Feb, 2009

Dear Anita,

Putting myself in your shoes, I do understand your feelings since I am too facing the same worst of situation. My suggestion to you may be difficult but fruitful for which till date I am hoping that one day everything will fall in its place and that we live our lives peacefully.
Anita, all you have to do is to re- act less to the situation and silently ask god to give you strength not to retaliate cause by doing so you are stopping Gods grace which is being showered upon you. instead keeping praying anytime , anywhere for the person the Rosary of Liberation which goes like this-- You begin the I Believe and directly start the rosary on the larger bead-- If Jesus makes my mom free, she will be free indeed. and on the 10 small beads -- Jesus have mercy on my Mom, Jesus heal my mom, Jesus save my mom, Jesus free my mom. After completing the 5 decades-- you may conclude with Hail Holy Queen . say this atleast once a day or more with true faith and hope. don't be disappointed if your prayers are not instantly answered but notice that you will definitely find some change in her and your mind will be at peace. learn to accept disappointment knowing that all things happens for good.
So dear, this is my very own experience. Its very true that is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): 'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he reap.
Pray that on constantly hearing the bad words you may not fall into sin by using them instead pray to Jesus to touch , heal, save and free her from being so.
Keep in touch and God bless you. I'll keep you in my prayers.

love Celia

We belong 2 LORD JESUS

by Aniceto on 20th Feb, 2009

Hi. We belong 2 Lord Jesus. He has purchased us by paying a price. The price is his wounds and blood. Tell your mom Jesus loves us.

You reap what you sow.

by Arturo Flores on 22nd Feb, 2009

Dear Anita,
What happens to your Uncle is only making true what is written in the scripture, "You reap what you sow." God allows this to happen that everyone may learn a lesson from it. Firstly, your Uncle would learn a lesson from it, that through it he would remember how cruel he was during his time. All of the tribulations of our lives are opportunities for us to be more Godlike. We can be Godlike only if we can forgive those who offended us. But this can be done only if the Holy Spirit is in us.

Anita, pray the Holy Rosary everyday. Before you start the Holy Rosary, state clearly your intention that you are asking God to give you the Holy Spirit, to your Mom, to your uncle, and to every member of your family.

It will be more beneficial if you start first with yourself. Be always in the state of sanctifying grace by regularly going to confession and taking communion. While doing this, stay awayfrom all occasions of sin.

You intention of asking God to give you the Holy Spirit is the kind of intention God can't turn away.

God will surely give you the Holy Spirit in His Time. And when this happens, all will be well with you, your Mom, and your Uncle. But be patient. Wait for God to give you the Holy Spirit in His Time!

Do it everyday with faith in your heart that Jesus will, one day, heal the wounds of your Mom's past memories of your Uncle's cruelty and learn to forgive him; that Jesus will, one day, give your Uncle strength to apologize with your Mom for his past deeds.

God bless you!

Solution which has not proved it's worth.

by Sebastian D'Souza on 23rd Feb, 2009

Dear Readers,
Christian greetings. I have gone through the solutions given by two ladies to Anita on her problem.

One lady says that to get rid of her problem Anita should pray to St.Jude atleast 9 times a day. Now this lady has not given any specific prayer but she insists that one should pray atleast 9 times. Secondly this lady has not given any time limit. So how long Anita should pray? One month,one year or through out her life? Thirdly is this St.Jude is more powerful than Jesus? For Jesus says that " All authority in heaven and earth is given to me." So there cannot be another god to answer our prayer.Jesus is the ONLY God and there is no other god on this planet.Jesus says " You may ask me anything in my name,and I will do it." (John 14:14) My dear friends,do not waste your time and energy after vain things.Come to our loving and caring Jesus who is always ready to hear our prayer. Bible says " His eyes are on his children and his ears are towards their prayer."

Second lady says " I am too facing the same worst of situation. My suggestion may be difficult but fruitful for which till date I am hoping that oe day everything will fall in it's place and we will live our lives peacefully." While giving her solution this lady says that her solution is difficult but fruitful. But she admits that her solution has not helped her till date and she is hoping that one day (when?) her prayers would be answered. She says one day and when is that one day she does not know herself. And further she says that everything will fall in it's place. That means everything is still continues to be in her life. First of all she herself is in worst situation and she does not know when that situation would change.She admits herself. She further says that she is not having peaceful life. The medicine she prescribes to others of which she herself is not cured. My dear friends,I really feel sorry for her ignorance. And this prayer she calls it " Rosary of liberation " Old rosary I know. But I don't understand as to where she got this new type of rosary. She herself is not liberated by that rosary. Then how she expects others to be liberated? And what is her prayer? " If Jesus sets me free.I will be free." is her prayer. Sometimes back one more lady also gave similar prayer. When Jesus says " come to me and I will set you free," instead,these ignorant ladies continue to go on their own way.I am not here to criticise but to help them. Please stop running after those vain practice and ask Jesus to help you.He will definitely bring you out of that situation and restore you with everlasting peace and happiness for which you are longing.And moreover he will accept you as his own daughters.Hallelujah.I have given specific prayer to Anita. You too can say the same prayer. Jesus will set you free instantly.He will not delay by even one second for which be sure.He has set me free. So I am telling you. I have tasted him and his love for the last 29 years. My whole family is enjoying his grace since then. Oh. Come and taste, the Lord is good. I have done, so I write to others. That all may share his divine love and live a successful victorious life. Bye.
