Hello everyone.

[seraphsong]

I am in a time of great weakness in my life. I am young and lack self control. I find myself falling more often than standing, and I feel like I just can't get my life in order. Many years ago I was a member of a charismatic prayer group, YSOK in Virginia. I remember that time fondly as the one time when I felt like I knew how to follow God's plan, and a time when I found myself believing in God more fully than ever.

I need the Lord in my life again, I know this. I am trying to find him, but I just can't hear him. I'm looking for a group near me in Altamonte Springs, FL, but I wanted to jump on here as well and just ask you please to pray for me that I can find the peace and solace that I need. I am weak and not hearing, but I want the Lord so badly.

Please hold me in your prayers.

-Mike

Until recently, I was in the central Florida area. There are quite a number of strong charismatics in that area.... and Christian Healing Ministries (http://www.christianhealingmin.org) (with Francis McNutt) is just a couple of hours up the road in Jax.

I am praying for you.
Fr Rick is knows Florida well and will give you good advise. I happen to agree with him. Get in touch with the McNutts. Someone there will be good for you to talk to.

Unfortunately driving to Jax isn't really in my budget right now. I'm going to keep looking around Central Fl. Thanks for your prayers all. I'm in a bad way.

there is a church locator on www.cfaith.com (http://www.cfaith.com) or at www.rhema.org (http://www.rhema.org)
that might help ...

pray the sinners prayer again (and again) until you get it right (Prov 24.16) get up one more time ....

Father God, I know you love me, for you asked Jesus to wear the crown for my temptation of the mind, take my stripes for my sickness sorrow and grief, carry my cross for my day to day trials, take the nails for my oppression and torment, the spear for my pride and rebellion, and die for my sins, to rise with my justification on the 3rd day ...

Father God I recieve the work of the cross on my behalf, and I ask for the second blessing (Acts 19.5-6; Romans 8.28; Genesis 50.20) that I might walk out the words I have spoken and not look back like Lot's wife at my past

In Jesus' name I pray, amen
