Prayer Requests

If you have seen the following prayer request, we thank you for your prayers!

God has opened a door on an opportunity for a new location very near to our current location that meets all our needs and several desires.
Liz and I will be making a decision this weekend after receiving an offer from the owner of the building.
We humbly ask that in the next 48 hours that you would pray for the following:
Pray for the realtor to represent us when expresses to the owner of the building our desired contract.
Pray for the owner to do God's will, whatever His will is, and offer us the contract needed in order to move.
Pray for wisdom for Liz and I, and that we are sensitive to the will of God.
Pray for the wisdom of our husbands to direct and guide us.
Pray our words, actions, and attitudes are glorifying to God.
Liz and I thank you for your support and your prayers! Praise be to God who is always faithful!

Today's sermon hit home for me! From Mark 9:14-24, the pastor spoke of doubt: "What Doubt Is," "Who Doubt Affects," and "Why Doubt Matters." Did the disciples face doubts of their own? What doubts did the father have in either of the disciples or of Jesus? The answer:

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE!

The message I received is that we all experience doubt, but that experience of doubt can bring us closer to God and a stronger faith.

"We can learn to live with doubt, even when we don't have all the answers. Part of what it means to have faith is TO MOVE FORWARD, EVEN IN THE FACE OF OUR DOUBTS." In Two Minds Sermon notes 8/3/08

So my mantra remains the same:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE will make your paths straight! Proverbs 3:5,6

Praise Be to God!!

Thanks for letting me share! Liz

Ok, I have to make another comment. I can talk the talk - but I can't seem to walk it! I have NO DOUBT that anything is possible through Jesus Christ! I struggle with whether or not I have understand what God's Will is for us. Have my own desires clouded my judgement? Is it possible to just hand over all our doubts and fears - while making the decision that is not HIS will? Should we trust in HIM to stay put, that he will provide for us as we experience growing pains; or is it to trust in HIM to make this move that he will provide for us even in the slow months? I LOVE the idea of the second, but are my own desires clouding my judgement? I don't doubt my faith in HIM, I doubt my ability to retrieve His messages! I'm still searching for a passage that I read somewhere. If I find it, I'll add it! God's Blessings to you and yours! Liz
