I can strike up a conversation anywhere, and with almost anyone, but don't have many real friends. The friends I do have want to spend more time together than I do. Larry and I don't do much with friends as a couple, either, and a couple we used to do things with are wanting to get together on Valentines Day, and we aren't thrilled. <BR/><BR/>I do want to find more time for God.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-6954638296251378582009-01-28T17:55:00.000-05:002009-01-28T17:55:00.000-05:00We all have had or have those biggies....and I str...We all have had or have those biggies....and I struggle with what I share...and I think sometimes you are right...some just the Lord wants to hear...I am not sure when you share or not..I think if it is something that can COLOR the thinking of someone else, it is better taken straight to the throne...yet, there are many times I have depended on prayer support...either way...just keep praying, dear one.<BR/>Deby~~Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288057520112643825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-73230111833854965102009-01-26T01:51:00.000-05:002009-01-26T01:51:00.000-05:00Many times I have sat at the computer and typed th...Many times I have sat at the computer and typed through tears my prayers to our King. I have a hard time praying aloud in public and it's always been helpful to have my prayers written down in longhand or typed. I believe it helps to also KNOW the needs to which we are asked to pray for someone. I think it honors that specific need in one's life. Thank you for sharing your deepest thoughts and prayers with us all. You are a blessing!<BR/><BR/>NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-65560294270356201142009-01-24T17:40:00.000-05:002009-01-24T17:40:00.000-05:00I am not very verbal in person.But over the years ...I am not very verbal in person.<BR/>But over the years I have found consolation in writing the Lord a letter. It helped me to get out what I was holding in. I think my writing started when I was a young teen-ager. A visiting preacher was admonishing the youth. He told us to read our Bibles. Write it out, it would mean more to you.<BR/><BR/>As far as holding people on a pedestal~ I've done that too.<BR/>And disappointment came. Then I went to the extreme the other way.<BR/>I would not get too close to anyone for fear I would be hurt again. My pastor had to help me with that one since I am not a people person. By that I mean ~ it is hard for me to talk to strangers. In a crowd i would rather be off in a corner. My husband is just the opposite. He never meets a stranger. Wish I could, but we all have different personalities.Alienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130290739135017036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-76774226984296441652009-01-23T22:55:00.000-05:002009-01-23T22:55:00.000-05:00I just wanted to say I needed to read your previou...I just wanted to say I needed to read your previous post.

I find that I often write better at the keyboard than with pen and paper.(probably because I am a perectionist and I want it to be perfect! LOL!) I find that I can work things (problems and such) out in my mind better if I can see it written down. funny how the mind works isn't it? :)<BR/>God is good!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204335063060899187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-49729871122564884462009-01-22T12:51:00.000-05:002009-01-22T12:51:00.000-05:00For me, knowing the struggle often helps me to pra...For me, knowing the struggle often helps me to pray more seriously for someone. Not that I can't pray seriously for an unspoken need, but going to God on behalf of you with specific requests at least makes me feel I am somehow making your true burden a little lighter. <BR/><BR/>Continuing to pray my dear friend.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-14988509559736889782009-01-22T10:24:00.000-05:002009-01-22T10:24:00.000-05:00Jesus is our best friend.

God understands all and we must accept this without any doubt or fear. God knows about the fear thing with me. He does not give us the spirit of fear! So if you don't mind I would like to pray now. Dear God, please be here with us now. Take away anything that hinders our relationship with You. Thank you God for answered prayers. We love you, Lord. Forgive us Lord, when we fail you. In Jesus Name, I pray.<BR/>BrenGrace on the Narrow Pathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161275623876776951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-55419525773456752052009-01-22T10:01:00.000-05:002009-01-22T10:01:00.000-05:00I struggle in this area too.

This is a great reminder to me that I can not fix my friends problems, but I can point them to the one who can! There are times where I need reminded myself that Jesus knows all, why call a friend to share my burden when I have one who is waiting to hear from me. Sometimes I think as women we run to others for comfort, and opinion, when we need to come before Jesus FIRST!<BR/>Another thought I had while reading through this was..... a thing that has really helped me is when a friend calls with a problem, I like to pray with them on the phone. My pastor use to do this with me when I would call for advice. Hope this wasn't to long lol. Just my thoughts! I am so glad you posted this!<BR/>BlessingsGraceFromHimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002658313843275194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613732801985181387.post-18520311533252734072009-01-21T23:10:00.000-05:002009-01-21T23:10:00.000-05:00Amen....It's amazing that you have posted some of ...Amen....It's amazing that you have posted some of my very thoughts. I have been wanting to post on a similar topic... but just haven't quite gotten it together. Even the phrase about putting someone on a pedastel! I've done that...and not only do they fall off, but I think God knocks them off! <BR/>Also...when I was newly saved I wrote my prayers...pouring my heart out, and somewhere along the way I stopped. Perhaps I should pick it back up.<BR/>And maybe I'll get to my own post on this someday soon! Thanks for the nudge...could be that there are others out there who may benefit from our posts.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798124104168438303noreply@blogger.com
