Prayer Requests

Just yesterday I commited to going to Cambodia, and already I can feel this sudden warfare rising up.

I won't lie, today has been hard.
Not horrible, but since I woke up I've had a really bad headache, worse than I've had for a very long time. Its helped to keep me in a rotten mood all day, not wanting to do anything or be around anyone here. I sat down to spend time with the Lord but had a hard time of it, not really feeling His presence and feeling a bit out of it. And of course there is the usual family stuff.
Being the only believer in my family causes a lot of tension, and its the biggest area that Satan uses against me.

But, despite the negative things about the day, and the difficulties, the Lord gave me a great verse this morning:

"They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you," says the Lord, "to deliver you." --Jeremiah 1:19


Definitely encouraging. I'm expecting a lot of opposition, which comes in odd ways, ways completely unrelated to the trip, as well as related to it, but I know that the enemy wont prevail and wont stop me from going to Cambodia. Only the Lord will stop me if its His will and I have no problem with that.


So I ask for your prayers, that the Lord will help me to not let my emotions get in the way, that I will have patience, grace and love for my family, and that I will continually make the Lord my joy and my strength, being diligent to seek Him.

And please, please continue to pray for precious Cambodia.
Our God loves those people so very much and is yearning for their hearts.
I encourage you to pray for the nations.
It has been such an amazing experience just looking up information and learning about an individual country, finding out its past, its culture, its problems and good points, even its weather and landscape, and just being able to pray specifically for the nation's needs.
If God sparks in you an interest for a certain country, then research it and see how you can better keep the people of that country in prayer!
I guarantee you will find yourself greatly blessed.

I love you all and am so thankful for your prayers and that you've taken time to read my muddled posts.
God Bless each of you.
