I want to PRAISE God because today I found a job after a year and four months of unemployment. God not only met my expectations, He superseded them, as He always has. It is always, always worth it to wait on Him and trust completely in Him. What we think is best for us, God can TOP! Thank you Jesus!

Dear friends, I am a single mother of two boys and have been unemployed for over a year. I had to file bankruptcy, we still stand to lose our home, and my unemployment benefits just ended. HOWEVER, God is so faithful and I KNOW He is going to provide. I trust Him completely. Today I interviewed for a position in the mental health field where I would be assessing crisis situations and working with those who call in on a suicide hotline (this organization serves those of low socioeconomic status. This is significant for a few reasons. One, my degree is in Psychology/Counseling. Next, I am a strong advocate for those suffering with addictions and/or mental illness and want to see that the poor have access to mental health care (I have a blog where I write about this topic). And MOST importantly, not only did my precious mother commit suicide in 2001, one of my best friends just lost her 15-year-old niece in April to suicide; her name was Hannah. I have prayed and prayed that God would place me in a career where I can glorify Him. Can you imagine how much this means to me and how much I could serve Him in a position like this? I feel it's what I was Created to do. Please pray for God's Divine favor and that I will be offered this position, should it be His will. And please praise Him and thank Him in advance with me for all that He has done, all that He's doing, and all He will do...not just for my family and I, but for you and your loved ones as well. He is the God of provision and perfect timing and we ought just to say, "Thank You Jesus" as often as we draw breath! God bless you, my friend and thank you for your prayers as they are literally worth more than a million dollars to me. I pray that He will also meet you right where you are, this very second... and I pray that you will feel wrapped in His infinite love and lavished with His Divine abundance.

I just want to give the good Lord some praise and love today!!!! I have been mad at Him....and I told him all about it yesterday. I had been pretty down....and have been a "ratchet", filthy sinner in so many areas of my life. But He keeps saying, "I love you anyway. You're one of my stubborn children, April...and you can take the hard route as long as you wanna keep suffering...but I am going to hold you and protect you and will forever be here to COVER you in my overwhelming, agape love that knows no conditions whatsoever." He is a great Healer...and I do not feel like I deserve what he's giving me... Still, He came not just to give me life...but life more abundantly. So I am CHOOSING to receive His grace and mercy. My hands are open!!!! I typically feel so guilty when I come before Him but I recognize that this is an attempt of the dusty, dirty ol' lying devil to put a wedge in between me and my Daddy. Last night men showed up to repossess my Hummer. I lost my job a while back and, well.... Let's just say that THROUGH HIM I was actually given mercy and grace by these two men. He was supposed to pick up my car....but the man chose to help me instead. I am SO thankful because I am a single mother and do not know what in the world I'd do without a vehicle. I am so blessed and protected!

Friends, I am 40 years old and have never been married. I am the single mother of two and my life used to be characterized by a theme of rejection and abandonment (since conception, in fact). Following a long, severe, clinical depression I had a true Renaissance of my soul in April of this year. I was not looking for love, rather I was actively "not" dating. However, I met a man named Mason that I have been seeing for a couple of months now. I have always been in toxic, highly-abusive relationships with some awful men. However, Mason is a really good, balanced man. I have enjoyed so many things about him and am celebrating that I have finally overcome my need to be with "bad boys". I celebrate that I now like someone for their good, responsible character and heart.

Things were going well between us and I have done nothing regrettable or unkind to Mason...however, he is growing cold on me for some reason and things are starting to move backward. I think he may be wanting to date others or is potentially dating others. Regardless, I feel he has mistaken my kindness for weakness. I am not weak. I have tried to end it with him but he doesn't seem to want to let go of me. Still, I think he is keeping his foot in the door. He asked for time and space. I'm giving it, but I don't know how much more time and space I could possibly give....we rarely see each other these days as it is. My gut tells me that something is awry, but I have nothing to base that on other than my intuition. PLEASE pray that God will give me intense clarity so that I can either have to strength to wait or walk away forever. I am not the girl I once was. I now love myself and will not settle for being on the standby list nor will I date someone who is dating someone else. I really need something concrete so I can make a firm decision. PLEASE pray if you don't mind. Your prayers are worth more than millions of dollars. In turn, I pray God will bless you magnanimously and that all your needs will be met in Him.

Love,
April

I would like to ask for intense prayer for a beloved family member. His name is Barry. Barry obviously had a stroke. What's heart crushing is that he lay in front of his door for 4-5 days. He is in ICU but the doctors are saying that the outlook is not good. Barry is in his 50's and recently survived cancer. He's got a heart the size of Texas and is as precious as the day is long. Please pray for God's Divine healing and for peace and comfort for Barry and the entire family. We are hurting. I would like to think that when he lay there all alone for so long that the Spirit was with him, comforting him. Jesus survived intense dehydration when he was being tempted in the desert by the enemy for 40 days... I believe that God can and will do so much more than what experts say can be done. We don't know what went on between God and Barry for those days that he lay alone. However, I believe God for miraculous, unknown things that my human mind cannot comprehend. I pray that you will unite with me in my faith in God and not only pray for healing, but join me in thanking God in ADVANCE for answering our prayers. You are loved, and your prayers are worth more than millions of dollars. Thank you, friend. -April

I was a teacher but lost my job last year. I am a single mother and have already filed bankruptcy... I stand to lose my house again though. I went through a "horrific" debilitating depression from October 2013 to late March of this year. Sometimes I am afraid of myself. Please pray that God will provide a good job in the "very" near future and that depression and fear will be behind me in the name of Jesus! Love you, my friend!!!! I pray God will meet our every need and that you will feel His presence!!! <3

Hello, beloved friend. Thank you for your willingness to pray for me. To me, prayer is worth more than a million dollars. No lie. I am the single mother of two astounding young boys. I was a high-school teacher for about 6 years but lost my job over a year ago. I have since filed bankruptcy and am flat broke. Add to that, I tend to get really depressed and unproductive when I'm not working. Would you join me in praying that I not only find employment, but that I find "great" employment. I would like to find a good-paying career that will meet my family's needs but that will, most importantly, glorify God and allow me to serve Him and those He Created. Moreover, please pray for my self-discipline and motivation, which has been lacking. I just want to be a good steward with all that God has blessed me with. I love you, as you are my brother or sister in Christ. We are all one in the Family of God. I praise God and thank Him in advance for meeting all my needs, my children's needs and your needs. In Jesus' name... Amen. Be blessed my friend and remember that our God is MIGHTY BIG. Whatever your needs are, He can meet them. Just trust in Him "completely". <3

First of all, your prayers humble me as they are the greatest gift anyone can give. I am a single mom of two boys. I recently lost my teaching job and am now making SUBSTANTIALLY less money than I did before. I just filed bankruptcy after almost losing our home. Add to that, my depression and anxiety are out of control. Please pray for God's financial provision to be on me and the boys... and PLEASE pray against my debilatating depression. My mother lost her life to suicide because of her depression. I just want to be FREE... In JESUS' name!!! Thank you!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
