Compelled to seek prayer

I'm not sure what will come out here. I write with His guidance and trust the Holy Spirit to fill in the details. I know I am in need of reconnection with my Godly friends, and request a prayer. I need to put distance between myself and the distractors and "crazy makers" that have ridden me all my life. When I hear the phone ring, I wonder, "who wants something now?" I am not in trouble anymore with creditors (praise Him) but those who rob me of my free time that I would like to use for my own projects and goals, and who do not replace it with anything meaningful. People who can't seem to get their own lives together, but reject my values and beliefs, and yet still want to "hang out" and talk endlessly about themselves. God provided an incredible opening, just this past week, to witness to one of these people... who normally would shut out all talk of that "Jesus guy." It was completely unexpected, and I hope I said everything the Lord wanted this person to hear. But I don't think it is destined to happen that way in every case... mostly it is casting pearls before swine... the wisdom of God's word is foolishness to them that perish, and I think these people are too comfortable in their beds of spiritual filth to listen. Now I feel compelled elsewhere, to move on, possibly even to a different part of the state... while at work, another coworker was let go, and his duties were cast onto me. Sure it's job security Smile

but it is also more bondage Confused

. I need supreme guidance. I feel called somewhere else, but my place here seems further nailed down, and my way out seems just a dream – a fantasy. I don't make enough to ever retire, and the economy is as bad here as anywhere. While I'm grateful to have work, I'm wondering how I'm ever going to get my life going? And the people who surround me during my off-hours aren't exactly a heaven-send. I need some words of wisdom, and His hand of action. Please pray with me. I've let my fingers be guided, typing this. I pray I'm in the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the answer will come. Amen. In Jesus's holy name I ask humbly.

Hi cornerdesk, it has been a while after the last time I saw you here. I hope everything is alright over there with you.

Dear Lord, each and everyone one of us are with our own problems as long as we are breathing. The good news is nothing in this world is eternal and permanent apart from the love you have for all of us. Lord Jesus, this evening, I would like to pray to you not only for cornerdesk but for myself as well as all the people here who came to you, seeking for your help and guidance over the annoyance, obstacles, challenges and hindrance that come into our life. Millions of time we talk to ourselves, trying to follow your way and will, we seek your help and give praise to you yet we are still in problems now and then, forgive us Lord for not having enough faith in you and thank you Lord for redeeming us from the fire of hell.

Lord, may you right now strengthen each and everyone of us here so that we will remain faithful in you, so that no matter what happened in our life, we will always remember that you are always there for us. No matter what we do or say, help us so that your glory will be reflected on us. Continue to be with us and show to us your presence in our life oh Lord, Amen.

"...I will rescue him; I will protect him for he acknowledges my name. -Psalm 91:14-"

"He will call upon me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him. -Psalm 91:15-"
