But if I walk with the Lord and am in constant prayer, as Paul instructs (1 Thess 5:17), I think I would find that prayer does work. I have never prayer for great riches however I have prayer for financial help. I have no faith left. The biggest lie I have ever heard is how anxiety; disbelief; doubt and worry are the greatest enemy of faith. These are all great rank amateurs, when compare to LONELINESS. When the enemy has you all alone he well batter you with the truth because God has made you an island with no support. Plead the blood of Christ all I want prayer doesn’t work because faith greatest enemy loneliness has defeated me! So no pray will not help because if my faith is not dead it’s pulse is so weak it is on it’s deathbed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the Lord will use a forum like this to help you...I don't know. I can only share some experience and I hope its helpful. Everyone's life and circumstances are different and how the Lord deals with each of His children is as well. I have seen that one common thing to all of us is the importance of surrendering to what His will is for us and trusting that. There is a place for importunity, but I have found that prayer more often than not is 'agreeing with God'. "Thy will be done" In the worst of circumstances both peace and contentment can be found. Much fruit can be the result of the trials He takes us through. This is not a cop out. It is one of the realties of living on this earth and being a stranger in a strange land. I have been in a place where I was 'no good for this world' and no good for heaven either'. Ask the Lord to help you to trust His will for you.

Still, I wonder about one thing. One thing I never experience is loneliness. I am always talking to God. As Paul said, pray constantly (1 Thess 5:17). As for finance, the Lord will provide. We need to trust the Lord. I don't particularly enjoy finding myself in a position where I need to trust the Lord, but it is part of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry and I hope it did not offend you. Could you be more specific in what you have prayed for for 36 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very uplifting and encouraging words as I’m about to start my work day. I really needed that. I feel energized and ready to go now. Such a great future ahead of us who are in Christ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
