Neng in response to SINGLE MOM PRAYER

I’m in a stage of deeply missing and longing for the hugs and kisses of my baby girl. To the point I thought that maybe I should give up with this course of life I’m heading to. But after reading this prayer of yours, I came into a realization that these will be for her own welfare. That maybe I’m away for now, but someday God will allow us to be near with each other. I’m not giving up and i will always keep the faith..thank you so much for inspiring so many lives, especially us. God bless..

Elizabeth in response to IS LOVE SELFISH?

I came here because I’m wondering if sometimes I love because it’s easier to love than to bear the bitterness of hate. But then, maybe that is God’s gift, protecting me from the poison of hatred by allowing me to love. I wonder if there is a choice between loving and hating, in the heart, not actions. Selfish or not, I suppose you can’t go wrong with love.

Angela Artemis in response to MOTHER TERESA QUOTE ON LOVE

Aileen in response to A POEM ON GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE

I just lost my husband. And it’s really painful. Reading your poem gives me hope but tears in my eyes. I can’t help but remember all our times together, I pray only that I can go on with life without any regret. Life with him was really a happy one, but it was cut short. Thank you for your poem.

Chris Edgar in response to WHEN NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING

Hi Joyce — thanks for this — that’s been such an important realization for me, that in moments when my mind seems blank and I seem to be “out of ideas,” it can actually be helpful to me to take advantage of those moments and rest, and relish the spaciousness.

Volet H. Pacres in response to ARE YOU PRAYING FOR A BLESSING?

Thank you!
It had reminded me of how much I worth in the eyes of God.
And, it had reminded me of the passage in the bible….
“If only you can have faith as tiny as the mustard seed…”

Xanthe's Mom in response to WHY A COMPLAINING SPIRIT OFFENDS GOD

if i may add my two cent’s worth:
after my separation and being financially problematic since i became single, and becoming a bread winner of the family (to my parents and newly born daughter), and having piles of debts to shoulder (my parents’ debts from other people, my own debts from my marriage, and giving birth), i also complained to GOD and even questioned why others who are not good are having a good life, and i was not. i felt very miserable. i kept crying. i felt so negative. i felt desperate. i felt depressed. i felt hurt. but there was this certain feeling deep inside me telling me not to give up…to still keep believing…to still hold on that God exists…He is alive, God listens, God will aide and provide, God suffice.
through reading books about God and self-help materials, through constant praying, asking, searching….
i am slowly realizing that this might be God’s way of reaching out to me. it is only through suffering, change, and tribulations that i recognize who GOD is. i do not think i would have this kind of connection with GOD if i were materially complete because i would be blinded by the comfort and convenience of ‘having’. it is through lacking (material things, love from the people i want love from (parents, husband, family, friends) that i was able to feel, and consequently ‘understand’, GOD’s love for me and you. it is through this sufferings that i am continuously going through did i ‘feel’ and consequently ‘understand’ the cross that JESUS CHRIST carried and which i am ‘FORTUNATE’ to carry with Him.
my tribulations, after all, are BLESSINGS in disguise. and i am thankful and can relate my situation to an oyster. an oyster (we/ us) has to undergo a hard time having irritating sand(problems) in it’s sensitive and too soft skin/ mantle but through time, and by going through the process (the way we handle problems/ change) of protecting itself and creating layers of nacre, the sand in its skin eventually cause the oyster to create pearls of different sizes, shapes, and colors, which are all naturally beautiful.

Andrea DeBell in response to DO YOU DESIRE TO STAND OUT BUT AFRAID NOT TO FIT IN?

Hi Joyce,
We are extremely extraordinaire and as such there is never any need to fit in or stand out. I agree that these needs (or any need for this matter) comes from the need to be loved. The key,like you said, is here: “We have only to be true to who we are,” and we’re awesome beyond belief. With that in mind, there isn’t anything else that we need except continue to express our awesomeness.
Beautifully said, my friend. Keep up the good work. Loving blessings

Chantell in response to A POEM ON GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE

Your poem said everything I’ve been feeling, but couldn’t put into words. My boyfriend went home to Trinidad to visit his family 1 1/2yrs ago and was murdered on his vacation. He never came home and was burried in his country days later. I couldn’t find the strength to go to his funeral, and for this reason, have had a difficult time coping. Aside from that, no one understands what this feel like. Sometimes it feels like a dream, a bad dream. Thank you for your poem!

Mike Freidhof in response to A BROKEN HEART'S PRAYER

i’m in a situation right now and this pray definitely fit me where i am at. i met a woman in march of 2009, i proposed to her may of 2010. we were going to get married on may 6 2011. on october 16, 2010 my fiance and i bought our rings, after that i took her out to dinner for her 34th birthday and gave her some gifts. the next night on the 17th when she was at work she had text me telling me she was having a bad day, little did i know it was her thoughts running about us not just work going bad. when she got home we talked and she told me she had been unhappy for the past 3 months and that she wanted her freedom back and she didn’t love me anymore. thankyou vary much for this prayer.

Paulina Casados in response to  A SINGLE MOM PRAYER

I just want to thank you for this prayer. When you said “for what can I possibly give this child? My failures? My brokenness? My shameful past? What can I teach this child? How can I mould him into the person he was meant to be? What shall a single mom like me pray?”
By saying that, for the first time in my life I knew I wasn’t the only one. Your prayer inspired me to not doubt myself anymore and to prove to myself that I CAN be a good mother at age 18.
Reading your prayer was a sign and helped me gain faith, and i strongly believe God chose you to help so many single mothers out there JUST by reading this..
Thank you so much for posting this up because it helped me to be stronger than i was before.
