I know God hasn't forgotten me, but the things that have been happening lately have left me feeling kind of hopeless. I know that God has a plan for my life if I hold on to His hand and be steadfast. Things are really hard for me right now and I need to get back to a place of peace. Especially pray for my children. My middle son is having a lot of trouble in school and every avenue that I seek help in is another door shut in my face. I don't want him to fall so far behind that he can't recover.
TIA.
For your son, cover him with your prayers every morning before he goes off to school. Plead the blood of Jesus over him, and pray that he would find favor in the eyes of the school administrators and the people who need to help him. Continue in your fight to get him help, no matter how many doors are shut in your face. Trust me when I tell you, God has a habit of showing up when all hope is lost, and you think there's no help coming from any direction. Then you'll know without a doubt WHO it was that is deserving of all the credit and praise!
As for yourself, sweetie, Jeremiah 29: 11-13 says:
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
I know where you are and what you're feeling. It's a tough place to be in, and in that place, it's hard to feel encouraged, but remember the words of the Lord for you! His plans to prosper you and not harm you. This is the time to praise Him and give Him glory, in the middle of the battle. Don't be depressed or in despair. Show the enemy how tough you are in the battle, and that despite everything that's going wrong around you, you KNOW that God is going to show up! The Lord loves it when we excercise our faith in Him in the midst of our troubles. God is faithful, He will come and fix everything that's currently going wrong. Believe it!
