Finally, I am standing...many of my brothers and sisters on this site have been lifting my circumstance with my wife and I, the health of my family, and other "things" in my life. I had been asking that prayer be given to heal my wife's heart toward me, to get her to listen to the Lord, to get her to be receptive to our being a couple once again. Well, the other day my divorce became final and the other day God had me grow up a bit more. Whatever comes of our relationship is in the Hands of the Lord and with Brenda...God gave her a will and that relationship is between them. My focus, my work, my concern is my relationship with our Lord Jesus. He wants me to just be still and concentrate on being the Man that He wants me to be. He wants me to grow up in Him, to be strong in Him, to love Him, to accept Him as my Savior...nothing more. He also clarified that all, everything, the whole enchilada of the things I am living through right now, the divorce, the loss of my job, the sale of my home, everything is a direct result of the seeds that I planted in seasons gone by. Yes, for the past year I have been planting seed carefully and into soil that has been turned cleared, and enriched so that the seed will grow...what this means is that the future crops will grow and provide a bountiful harvest IF I tend to the pasture, if I keep the weeds out, if I keep the varments from eathing the crop, and if I cultivate the ground...then and only then will the harvest be bountiful, rich and sweet. So, please pray that I maintain my focus on Him that I continue to seek out His word and commit myself to be the Man that He has planned for me to be. Thank you all so much for the past prayer...I recognize the selfishness in my requests to you, now I ask for prayer for blessings on my wife and my family in Jesus Name. Amen.
Dear God please guide Michaelanthony, please let him feel your hand on his shoulder. Help him to know your will and to do your work. Fill him with your holy spirit and help him to serve you with joy and happiness. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
I THINK ABOUT YOU OFTEN...I PRAY THAT ALL IS WELL WITH YOU....YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS (STILL), GOD BLESS YOU !!--KE

==========================================
Is Your Hut Burning?
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly to God to rescue him, and everyday he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened, everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger.” God how could You do this to me!" he cried.
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.
"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal", they replied.
It is easily to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground.---it maybe a smoke signal to summons the grace of God.

God bless you brother, for your desire to grow in Christ and your desire to live for him alone. You are so right in your revelation as to why things happened and how He will bless your future because you have sown seeds of righteousness.
I am so sorry for your divorce, but God knows the why and ifs. perhaps he will reconcile you both down the road, if that be your hearts desire.
I will pray to our Lord to equip my brother for this transformation and new chapter in his life. Gird him up with wisdom, and discernment to make the right choices in his life. Rain down your grace and mercy on this family and bring them all to a saving knowledge of you. may you use this situation to glorify you in the end. In Jesus Name I ask, Amen
God grant Anthony the serenity
to accept the things he cannot change;
courage to change the things he can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as he would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if he surrender to His Will;
That he may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3, 5-6
Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal Brenda. Touch her soul with Your compassion for others. Touch her heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch her mind with Your wisdom, that she may always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in my need, and help her to lead others to You by her example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring her health in body and spirit that she may serve You with all her strength. Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever.
Amen.
