I posted in the "Can anyone pray and prophesize to me" thread that Alexseeker started, but didn't get a response. Please please please help!!!! Things are getting worse for my husband and I in the financial department - and depression and anxiety have set in from feeling so helpless. It is hard not to think that the Lord won't help us because we deserve what we are getting (bad financial decisions) - but I know that he is a forgiving God. It is just hard being human as I'm sure you can all relate. I still don't know what the Lord wants me to do (other than to calm down and trust him) but I thought that Ray or someone might have a Word for me.

thank you. In Christ's name. Cheryl

Hello Cheryl

This is what the Lord instructed me to give to you. God bless you and yours.

yours in Christ,

2CO 12:7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Thank you so much, Ray. (and LORD!) I have printed out your response and posted it next to me here while I work. It is amazing how much peace you can receive from God's Word. I will be praying for you, too. Your ministry is awesome.

Love in Christ, Cheryl
