Prayer for mercy and strength

I have encountered a series of tragedies in the last 3 months. I am striving to make a better life for my family, but every time I take 2 steps forward, I fail. I believe in God, and believe he will deliver me if it is his will, but I can not continue like this. I feel as if he has forsaken me or turned his back on me. I pray everyday and seek his counsel in everything that I do. I just can't figure why I continue to suffer, when I am trying so hard to abide by his word, live righteously, and treat people as I want to be treated. My faith is so low now, and I just feel like giving up. The only thing that keeps me going are my 2 beautiful little girls. I just feel like such a failure. Please pray for me and my family.

Continue believing and trusting in the Lord. This is not the first time I heard of people saying that the more they do God's will, be closer to HIM the more tragedies ,problems come their way. The only differences others lose the faith and turn away from God while others continue to believe and take this as another test from the Lord, and that they feel that everytime tragedies befell them they become closer to God. And true enought they soon realize our faithful God never left them and had carried them during these low times of their lives. It is up to you which direction to take. Keep on praying, and in HIs Miracles. Discovering this site is in itself a miracle, because here you begin to discover that your problem is very small compared with others and that you're more blessed and there are lot of things to thank for. Here you're inspired with each others consoling and inspiring words and prayers. And here you become lighthearted when you give also enlightenment to others. GOD BLESS, THE LORD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU. HE NEVER LEFT YOU NOR WILL LEAVE YOU. KEEP THE FAITH

You touched my heart with your prayer for me. I went to thank you and then read your prayer request. WE are very similar it seems and here to comfort one another. I pray that the Lord will wrap his arms around you and that you will feel his very touch. He will not forsake you. You are special in his sight. Your little girls are a remember of God's love for you. We all face times., like me.,then God bring people into our lives to pray for us... I thank you so much.Remember this as I try to remind myself..Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding -- in all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path. God will provide and bless you for your faithfulness. God bless you and thank you for your prayer for me. KRB in Missouri

mochalattek - about 1 year ago: Thank you for your prayers and kind words. I have many sleepless nights, and I know God is working through me, through the prayers of others, and I will see divine favor. It is not always the storm, but the going through. It has been very difficult, but I am sustaining. My 2 little reflections are constant reminders of my purpose. Please continue to pray for me, and I will do so for you and your family also. I pray that God continues to bless you and your family. I will strive to practice what I preached and have faith in his divine word. You know the devil preys when one is weak, and I am very lowly right now, but your kind words of hope and encouragement have uplifted me at this moment. Thank you also for your time and prayers. God bless you also and thank you for your prayers for me and my family.
