WHAT and awesome display of God's presence in our service today. I want to thank Phil Perkins for sharing what God had put on his heart. God really used you today.With God's presence at the end of the service more people than could be counted found help from God. As we looked at the storms of life, many admitted they had storms in their own lives and were willing to turn them over to God. I am excited about what happened today and can't wait to hear how God answered all the prayers today.
We often start to get to a place where we just don't depend on God as much as He would like. Everytime we come back we go how did I get so far away. I know I need to depend on God and I didn't mean to start handling things on my own, how did I get here? I am greatful that when we do, God brings some Godly person along to remind us it is all about HIM.
I don't know about you, but I thing it starts with things starting to go well. It is at this place that I start to not pray as much, I don't read my Bible as much, I get comfortable. Once there it is just a very easy slide down that road to self reliance. (that's a no no in God's eyes)
Once I am in self reliance, wheather I realise it or not, I end up trying harder and harder to do the things of God, or anything else. I start to fail and can't understand why. I fight, I struggle, I come to my end, and you know who is waiting, God.
He is right there with me all along wanting me to turn to Him. Many today, found themselves on that slippery road and turned back to God.
What about you? What is going on in your life that you can't control no matter how hard you try? Do as we did today. Admit there is a storm and it is bigger then you. You can't handle it and you need some help. God is right there with you wherever you are reading this saying I (Jesus) can handle it. Why don't you turn it over to me?
Mathew 7:7 says, "Ask and it will given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.
Go ahead right now and ask and watch as God works a miracle in your life. If you like, show a little faith and put your request here and come back later and let us know how God answered your prayer. I know this, God answered prayers today at TBWC and will answer yours too!

OK well it's good to show some faith. Thank-you for the post. I'm reading it a while late I guess but thank God for timeless internet!
My prayer is this. I have difficulty getting over the relationship breakup. The girl was terrific, truly a wonderful person, very attractive and I loved her spirit so much. We've been broken up 10 months. Today I accidentally saw a picture of her through a social network site and, it hurt so bad. I can't deal with it on my own - the feeling is so strong but just within me so it feels like I have no way to handle it. After reading the passages above, I will admit this storm is beyond me and turn it over to God and hope I can find peace and the end to this horrible longing. Thanks be to God!
