I Hate Church

Father, help me please! I find myself hating church. Not church as it should be, but I hate the human element. I hate the politics. I hate the busy bodies. I hate the culture. I hate the promises that are preached with great zeal, yet never seem to come to pass.
I find so much more [...]

Blood Covenant Love

Father, it is in the name of Jesus, my Savior, I come to you and like Jonathan coming before David, I openly proclaim you, Jesus, as the King. I renounce any claim to any throne of importance or significance. You are the King, the King of Kings, and I just wish to be a prince [...]

Your Will Be Done

Father, it is in the name of Jesus, my savior, I come to you and thank you for being the God of love. Thank you for being love itself, and mercy and kindness and grace. Father I am coming to understand some of my burnout problem is my doing in expecting too much of others [...]

Is My Life A Waste?

Lord, Jesus, I cry out to you, with the feeling my life has been a waste. The church and Christianity have turned out very different than I was led to believe, or dreamed about on my own. Serving in the church is so different than what they taught at Bible College. I wasn’t expecting to [...]

Confusion

Help me Lord, I’m so confused.

It is very hard right now, Lord. I’m confused and so is my mate. We never dreamed we would be in this situation, worn out from ministry and disillusioned. We are feeling very confused. Yet, we do know you are aware of all things, and you have your plans for [...]

Provision

Right now mere survival is challenging, Father. I thank you for being the God of provision. My family is in need, Lord, and my children are starting to have fears about the future. We never expected to be in this position. We don’t know if we will ever be in fulltime ministry again, and yet [...]

Rest

Father, I am worn out, fed-up, ticked-off and totally exhausted. I confess I have tried everything to succeed at this Christian walk. I have followed all the counsel my colleagues have given; I have been to dozens of conferences; read hundreds of books; bought hundreds of tapes. I have tried, and tried and tried, and [...]

Forgive My Anger

Father, some days I do well and feel ok, and I worship you and love you, but on other days, the anger deep inside of me boils to the surface. I hate the ministry some days. I hate your people even more on some days. And, as you well know, Lord, there have been days [...]

Feeling Rejected

Lord Jesus, you certainly know what it feels like to be rejected. I thank you for your example and how you endured persecution knowing what eternity is truly like. I am comforted by your example and I ask that you strengthen me, Lord Jesus, with the same vision of the Kingdom and fellowship with the [...]

Father, I Feel So Alone!

Father, I feel so alone. My church, my friends, my colleagues, have all dropped me like a hot potatoe. At a time when I really need help and love, the very people I thought I could look to for strength have stepped away from me. Yes, I have made mistakes, Lord Jesus, but now is [...]
