I might have posted this already...

I just wanted to delete this from my saved outbox so I'm putting it here even if it's already been put here.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”- James 1:5 [NIV]

James 1:5-8 [The Message]

If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves. Don't think you're going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.

I have been asking a lot for wisdom and guidance. God really is a generous God. I know not everyone had great fathers...some may not have even been good at all. But with me, I knew and know my dad loves me. He does want the best for me. I know he wants to give what he can. He has a very generous heart. So if I can think and focus on that and realize that my dad here and now loves to provide and help me and guide me as much as possible. How much more will God and can God? A Lot. I know that's a scripture too.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11

I got this e-mail yesterday...I didn't forward it yet because it was a mess and I wanted to clean up the forwards and the pictures that were attatched to it. But it was good. It really made me reflect on all that God is capible of. I'll share the e-mail and then a quick story.

I claimed it for you - now claim it for me.
God has more than a thousand
Ways to provide for us, that we know nothing about.
Here is your financial blessing!

It's a simple prayer, you got 30 Seconds?

Don't sleep on this...Someone recently read this for the first time and
Received exactly enough for a $0 balance on all credit cards.

If you need a financial blessing, continue reading this e-mail.

Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God,
I pray to you that you
Abundantly bless my family and me.
I know that you recognize, that a
Family is more than just a mother, father, sister,
brother, husband and
Wife, but all who believe and trust in You..

GOD, I send up a prayer request for
financial blessing for not only the
Person who sent this to me,
but for me and all that I have forwarded
This message on to.
And that the power of joined prayer by those who
Believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything.!
I thank you in
Advance for your blessings.
God, deliver the person reading this right
Now from debt and debt burdens.

Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a
good steward over all that you
Have given me GOD, for I know how
wonderful and mighty you are and how
If we just obey you and walk in your word
and have the faith of a
Mustard seed that you will pour out blessings.
I thank you now Lord for
The recent blessings I have received and for
the blessings yet to come,
Because I know you are not done with me yet.
In Jesus name Amen

TAKE 60 SECONDS and send this on quickly and within hours, you will have
Caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each other. Then sit
Back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves. Peace and Blessings....
Have Faith


At first when I saw the $0 balance on the credit cards, I laughed inside. But then I stopped and was like "why am I laughing"? While I can't prove the source and whether that specific thing actually happened. I know God is more than able to do something like that.
I remember last year...or maybe it was the year before that?, anyway we were behind on our bills. I checked our balance in our bank account and there was a deposit that was over $1000. I didn't know where it came from. I called the bank and asked if it was a mistake and they assured me it was not and the money was staying in our account. We still don't know why that money got put into our account but it caught us up for that period of time.
I remember around the same time, someone I know has put their kids in camp. They could only afford a couple of days but the wife decided to send the kids for the whole week because they loved it so much. The same thing happened there was a deposit in their account for the exact amount of the camp. I believe that God really pulled through there.
