Hey you know what I say… its now how much you are capable of doing… it is what are you called to do? What does God say? There are so many good things you can do, but what are the right things?
But I think you’ve heard me say that before… you are in my prayers.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say “thanks” for your friendship, prayers, and love! I’ve been encouraged the the responses, and the reality that people actually would take the time to read such a long, heart wrenching post!

It can be so overwhelming to have so many things you want/need to do. If they keep coming back..perhaps you may be “crucifying” the wrong things? Just an idea.

Prayers to you.

Praying for you, Fred. All I can say right now is that if you have BY FAITH, crucified these things and asked the Lord to release you, and these things keep coming back . . . then possibly a “priority” would be to ask the Lord to begin showing you HOW to implement them . . . what provision has He already ordained to help make them happen?

I, personally, (and I ain’t sayin’ “thus saith the Lord” by any means) . . . but I personally believe that He is involved in this.

Will definitely be in prayer for you, that God would reveal His heart to you today! Personally, I keep hearing Him say to me, “Prioritize” (“…seek FIRST….”). I am in faith that as you “prioritize” all the rest will fall in line and will indeed be an easy yoke, light burden and rest for your soul. And keep in mind what the scriptures say about life in the kingdom of God; it’s “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” If what we’re dealing with (experiencing or feeling) does not involve these three components, I always see it as an opportunity to “test myself to see if I am in the faith” (kingdom).
This may be worth just what it cost you to read it (nothing); nevertheless, it’s what I think. Will continue to pray!

just wanted you to know that you have been prayed for this morning…that God would speak to you today in a way that you would have NO doubt what He wants you to do!

You need one small change to one of your statements above:
Original – You see … obviously, nobody can really do all those things effectively.
Updated – You see … obviously, nobody can simultaneously do all those things effectively.

It sounds like your day tomorrow could be fruitful in allowing God to help you prioritize.
