Dearest Intecessors,

I've seen a glimpse of breakthrough. Unfortunately, part of that breakthrough has involved dealing with some very painful memories and forgiving. I've been unable to move through it all in the past because there was just plain too much and the present didn't exactly make it easy. I had difficulty after difficulty and did not have time to get over one event before the other started.

I Praise God, that I can see a glimpse of breakthrough. This latest 'process' though, is so so painful and so tiring, I thank God for the grace I felt enabled me to even address what I have. This process, along with the high demands of my work, leaves me wishing I had a year -or at least a few months - to recover. In the natural, as stand now, this is impossible. I have to make a living.

Please, Please Pray for the Lords Grace to get me through this season, His provision, His Love, His direction and His Healing that would allow me to recover and become whole in Christ.

PS. To those who prayed - my prayer request in August for my professional papers to be signed and go through to the appropriate bodies was answered. Thankyou SO MUCH to anyone who prayed, it was the first smooth transaction in a long time. PRAISE GOD. Still waiting on the right job...

Gratefully Yours,

The Fathers Daughter

Your post heading, of course, reminded me of this testimony of Paul. Grace you shall have for it is promised to us daily. The same grace that has gotten you this far will lead you into the finishing of it. Your plea reminds me so much of myself. Bless you in your continued progress. God is faithful and will complete the thing he has begun in you.

Phl 3:7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Dear Intecessors,

And thankyou Vicki for your kind analogy to Paul's writings. I know God does work in our lives in ways we don't always understand.

I am however, asking for intecessory prayer, just as Paul did sometimes, because I am struggling on a number of levels, am tired physically and emotionally and have little support. I don't want life just to be about work. I am asking Jesus for his grace and his mercy to refresh me and to move in a way that would encourage me and bring life into my life.

Sincerely,

The Fathers Daughter
