Okay, now please pray for me. I know asking this is selfish in a sense. I am a mother of four. And also the leader in a bi-weekly ladies prayer meeting/bible study (although I have a hard time calling myself this it is what my Pastor says that I am). I need strength. I know Gods word says to not be weary in well doing. I am tired. I am weary. I need God to strengthen me. I can't begin to explain in reality how I feel right now. I know that the Lord has called me to do this. My husband and I seem to deal with a lot of people who have a lot of needs. Not financial, but emotional, spiritual, biblical. I get scared. I want to be effective in this ministry. I want to know that we are indeed helping people. I need Wisdom, GODLY wisdom. I feel empty. I know that I am saved, that I have God that God is within me, but I don't know why I feel empty. I can't seem to get my prayer life where it should be. I can't seem to break away from people long enough to study like I should, long enough to pray like I know I should. I tend to the home, the children, the husband, the ladies from church, the new people we are trying to reach, families each and every weekend and often times 1-3 during the week, and where am I to fit my prayer life in? Where can I fit my own souls hungers in? Yes, I attend church 2-3 times each week. Yet I know I need more. More of God. I want a deeper walk, a closer walk with him. Please pray for me. I really need the Lord right now. This feeling I have on the inside is so unfamiliar to me. I am not down, I am not sad, I am not angry, just a bit empty. I know this should not be. The Lord gives me water so that I will never thirst again. The Lord fills my cup overflowing. The Lord always provides for our family so why am I feeling this. Please pray for me. I need direction, I need that connection that I once felt not so long ago back. I know there is more to this. I know there is a deeper, closer walk and I long for it. I know Gods word says that I can ask anything in His name, believing, and it SHALL be done. I am asking in Jesus Name for this and I ask that you do too. In His Service SavedbyHisgrace

Sweet friend, you are not alone, just open the book of Psalms, David felt the same thing.
Psm 63 vs 1 "O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water." The dry land is meaning when you don't feel God around. So what are you to do? Don't rely on feelings, begin talking to yourself. That is what David did. Psm 42 "why are you cast down, O my soul,and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God." David was not feeling these words, he was repeating them telling God what he knew what was true. Get some verses that speak to you, put them on notecards paste them on you mirror, in your car, in your kitchen, on your refrig. where you can meditate on them. Say them even if you don't FEEL them, the feelings will come. And know you can not be an effective leader in your power, only Christ. He will give you strength and rest. Sounds like Satan is just trying to beat you down, I have been there. I hope this helps a bit. Praying for you. Sorry this was so long.
Lord I pray for this sister who is in need of a touch from you today...Father you know her needs, I pray that you would meet her where she is and give her your peace...God give her direction and show her where her gifts lie so that she can fulfilled in ministry not overwhelmed.
Thank you Father for answered prayers!
I lift this sister up to You dear heavenly Father, please give her encouragement to keep running the race of life. Bless her in various ways, as only You can do Father. Amen.
my dear sister in Christ, you sound like you are trying to run the world single handedly! We all so it especially women. Take time out to pray, ask God for direction. Slow down what you do, and turn the tv off, go lie down and rest. Sleep and prayer is the most important thing you can do. If you were courting a new husband you would not do this by talking to him whilst running around like a headless chicken, you would stop. So I say dare to stop! May God bless you and call you to Him for some well needed rest. Ej x
Thank you all for your prayers. I know that God has heard, is hearing and for the past 2 days I have taken some well needed rest.This I am sure is one of the first things I needed. It amazes me(although I know it shouldn't)just how quickly God can and does answer our prayers.
