Abigail: A Woman of Secret Strength

[@lynneparro3088]

I would appreciate your prayers, as I have been married to a "Nabal" for 41 years. And I would appreciate your prayers for our adult children who grew up with this man as their father and haven't seen answers to our prayers of faith after so many decades. They feel abandoned by God and consequently, they are not serving the Lord. My heart is broken. Thank you for your prayers.

Thank you so much for your prayers. Here in Melbourne, Australia we have been in hard lockdown for about 230 days over the last 18 months. It has been much longer for our aged care homes and we have not been able to visit my 92 year old dad with dementia for so long. I have been rung to say he has taken to his bed and hasn’t eaten for days and we still cannot be with him. Please pray that in his confusion he will overwhelmingly know the comforting arms of Jesus.Bless your wonderful work.

My name is Abigail, I did write a rather long message about my situation but clearly it was unnecessary. Please pray for whatever you see fit.. the trauma and troubles in life I have dealt with within myself but I sense I may need some strength for the troubles to come. In the last 2 weeks I fully put trust and faith in God and I felt the holy spirit so much it felt like I was drunk. I had been searching for this relationship I finally now have with god all my life, and I am here now on the other side with such peace and clarity and trust in all things that come, bad or gos. I believe it is my first calling, but I sense that when I come to my second call it will be painful. Please pray where you see fit. I will now watch this video, and finally understand why god encouraged my mum to call me Abigail God bless you & thank you

[@lover4life7]

Hello sister ♥ My name is Abigail too. I know exactly what you mean. I fear something is soon about to transpire in my life also and I'm afraid I have not the strength to overcome. I often think of Jesus and what he endured. I feel whatever is to come I will have to put on the spirit of Christ in his suffering. I am 33 now. All we can do is trust in the Lord and know his purpose is far greater then ours. I love you my sister and I will keep you in my heart and prayers ♥

When I get to it, I want to just throw all of it out because of the mess. Ugh! Consequently, I could use prayer for the patience that I need to take care of it in a more orderly, timely fashion.

In Jesus there is no secret pastor. The strength of a christian comes from God and nothing else. God never breaks a promise and He says in His Word that He strengthen us when we depend totally from Him and not from our own strength. There is no strength in a christian without a life of prayer and obedience to the Word of God. Jesus said very clear in John 15:5 that apart from Him we can do nothing. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:12-13 NIV) Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:41 NIV) Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. (James 1:22 NIV)
