It's time for
Wednesday's Prayer Girls & Link-Up Party!
Leave your prayer request in the comments
& we will pray with you there
Each Wednesday I like to offer to pray for your non-confidential prayer request or praise in the comment section below. Please enter a prayer if you would like me to pray for you (and pray for one another!) and I will be reading your prayer and lifting up your request as I read it, or if you just have a comment (click the word "COMMENT" located below my signature below, under the colorful social media sharing squares:-)
I'd love to connect with you on your favorite spot:
You may follow my blog here or on Bloglovin'.
It is my delight to pray for you!
Walk by faith,
Excellent advice thank you. Thank you also for the link up. Have a great week. Blessings
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by, Terri!
DeleteGreat post and advice, Juana! Thank you for sharing! Infinite blessings to you, Love! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Tai! Blessings to you too, Sister! Stay strong in grace!
DeleteWe were able to spend some time with Libby and her Mom & Dad on Memorial Day, but it left me missing her more. It was like she didn't know us because it has been so long.
ReplyDeletePrayers of peace for me as I am feeling stressed about several things.
Let's pray Jana! Loving Lord, we thank you that the Hagans got to see their son, DIL, & Libby for the holiday weekend. We praise you and thank you for this little baby, and pray the Hagans can keep her soon for an extended time as the parents can take a break. I lift up Jana to you, and the stress she is feeling. Lord, give her Your peace, and she gives everything in her life to You. You have the whole world in Your hands, and we love You, Lord. In Christ's name, Amen.
DeleteI love that you encourage us to love our husbands right where they are, Juana, just like Jesus.
ReplyDeleteBless you!
Dawn
Thank you Dawn! I was talking to myself, too!
DeleteWhat do you do when a harmful behavior is involved? My husband smokes marijuana. The kids don't know but he and I definitely do. It's caused huge strains in the marriage. I'm totally not for it! And I don't know what I'll do if our children were to find out. I don't want them seeing this type of example. What do I do?
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous, I am praying over your difficult situation and will write back to you right here soon after I have had time to think on it and pray. with love, Juana
DeleteDear Anonymous, I have been praying for you, and prayed for you today with my friend whose husband is an alcoholic. We both think that you need to get support. There is great help available if you search your area for: Celebrate Recovery (by Rick Warren) or Alanon. Both would be a support for you, and can guide you with what to say to your husband. Perhaps a meeting (after you know you have support because this could be a long battle) when you are angry, and no pot is involved.. when you can tell him this behavior is unacceptable. Have you read the chapter in my book on tough love? I think my book can help give you strength. You may have to say, "If you choose to smoke pot and come home stoned, then that affects me and the children. I will go to my room if you come home after smoking marijuana. Or, I am not going to the party since you have been smoking pot.... then call your friend and tell them you cannot attend. But the support group will help you greatly with knowing what to do. We prayed for you today!! Love, Juana
DeleteI meant when you and he are NOT angry
DeleteI am beyond delighted to have found your website/blog. I just added a link to your party "A Very Special Young Man". Elisabeth Elliot is my hero. I have read many of her books, listened to her radio programs. What a woman of influence, how special that she is part of your life and been a mentor to you. I found you through another blogger who knew I enjoyed E. Elliot and found a video on you tube of your Mary singing to her. What a delight to hear Mary's beautiful voice singing like a bird. God has gifted her! Blessings to you dear Juana. ~ Abby
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Abby! You have made my day. We both share a love for Elisabeth Elliot. Thank you for listening to Mary sing on YouTube, too! So happy to crossed paths:-) Thank you for linking up. Looking forward to reading your post.
DeleteThank you for this lovely blog and the encouragement found within.
ReplyDeleteI am asking prayer for my unsaved family members and for those who do know Christ to love the Word and desire to obey His will.
Thank you,
