Okay where to start....
I definitely need some prayer, I'm not really sure why I decided to post this tonight as I've been away from these forums for a while now but there has been alot going on lately, both good and bad.
I'd just like to ask that anyone reading this would please pray for me - some of these reasons include.
- I am in a serious relationship with a girl who I am planning on spending the rest of my life with, the relationship has been going very well and God seems to be opening doors and blessing things in ways I never imagined could be done. I've been praying that if this isn't a relationship that can be used for God's glory that a door would be shut, but so far that hasn't happened yet. I plan on proposing to this girl in the next few months or sometime this summer and I pray everynight that God would give me patience and answer this prayer - to unite me with my wife for future ministry work together, hopefully with children.
- I have been suffering great anxiety lately and it always seems to be irrational. I am looking to get some help from a therapist or doctor but I am scared of getting on that medicine such as paxil and zoloft because I have heard some bad things about that stuff and I'm opposed to it for the most part. Sometimes this anxiety is trigger by stressful events but every now and then I seem to go through episodes of anxiety which may be linked with depression but I am not sure. I pray often that God would take this terrible feeling away from me but at the same time I know I need to get some help and figure this out because I don't understand why I feel like this sometimes - it seems to be happening more and more frequently.
- Finally, I am trying to move out, and I am working quite a bit, plus trying to save up for a car and a ring for the proposal. Family life has been hectic and my parents fight often, I also work for my dad so sometimes work problems are brought home. Even though I am 22 I'm still treated like a kid in many respects but I guess that's just how parents are from what people have told me. In anycase, it doesn't make things easy and I have been doing my very best to have patience but sometimes it seems hopeless, as though i will never get out of this situation and that I will never make any real money or be able to provide for myself, or make it on my own.
I have been trying to stay faithful, and I know that God will provide me with the things I need. Your prayers in any form for any or all of these issues in my life are greatly appreciated - the first one is probably my most heartfelt desire which is "family" right below God on my list of things of importance in life. I'm waiting for things to pan out...but...this is not easy...
Thanks all

Dear Brother in Christ,
I am praying for you. It is good to get out on your own. When I was your age, my wages could not support me either. I went into the Marine Corps at age 24 and got some college while there to help me get a better paying job when I got out. I've struggled but I've learned that i've never lost. I've always relied on the Lord to see me through each day and just watched to see how He works. It's that watching that has really opened my faith to trust Him. The Lord gave me His eyes and His ears to see and hear what He was trying to show me. It didn't matter what decisions I made when steering my life. If I knew it was what the Lord wanted, then I just needed to make that leap and he would carry me through. He WILL carry you through. Be strong and focus on trusting and waiting in the Lord. If things seem to be going your way, it's no accident and you are not imagining things.
I am praying for the Lord to give you His eyes and His ears and to bless you with the wisdom you need. Leap. He will catch you. Walk. He will guide you. God Bless you in your relationship with your future wife. If she is for the Lord, you have a 100% better chance at a wonderful marriage than if she were against the Lord. Keep Christ at the center. Pray together every night. You both will be blessed and WELL CARED FOR by our Savior.
The Lord is with us,

Wow, okay just want to say...thanks for your prayer guys I can definitely see God is working and has even answered alot of prayers already.
My life has changed alot since my original post, I've bought a car from one of my parents friends 88 T-Bird LX with savings bond money my grandparents gave me over the years - I never would have guessed I would have used the 1500 dollars for a car. God was providing me with the money for a car before I even thought about the day I'd be buying a car.
Also my aunt has provided me with a place to stay and get away to if I need - she's a truck driver and isn't home very much so I have been helping to fix her place up while I'm on the road. Its proven to be a fun way to pass the time and help her out.
And finally...I am engaged to the woman of my dreams as of Wednesday 20th. I finally proposed three days after fathers day and she said yes, the feeling is crazy and I am so blessed that she is in my life.
Thank you so much for your prayers guys...it means alot even though I don't know you all in person. I'm very blessed to have online brothers in Christ.

God is good! I know when I look back at the hard times in my life it is amazing to me to see how He was ther through it all, even though it may not have seemed like it at the time and how He worked everything out for the good.
Congratulations on the engagement, marriage is a wonderful thing.
