My Prayer for Healing of Herpes

A while ago, I posted a testimony from a website. This person talked about how God healed of herpes. Since then, people have been commenting on that post either sharing a similar testimony, or asking for prayer for their eventual healing.

So, a prayer is what I’m going to give. Let me share these comments first.

Comment one:

Thank you for this post. I’m in tears. I’m 51, single 2 years now. Out of an long relationship. I’ve always believed and loved The Lord but through the break up God really showed me who He is and about how I’ve been missing so much of what’s He’s been trying to tell me. My heart was broken but I’ve never been happier, well with exception to the one and only person I’ve had sex with since the breakup gave me Herpes. I let my guard down in protecting me and waiting because the connection was so strong and this individual was so close to God. Turns out he wasn’t the guy for me. Not because he gave this to me but for other reasons. This was about 4 months ago. I very much believe in the power of prayer and healing. Years ago God took away a 9 year smoking habit with not one craving. Currently, I asked a guy out and have felt excited about the possibility of a lifetime with him. We’ve only spoken about 4 times but I can tell he has qualities I admire. We spoke last night on the phone where he proceeded to tell me about an internet date he’d had who he liked, was very pretty, an attorney, never married, no kids, who he was interested in before she told him she had genital herpes. He said he felt bad for her, tried to remain friends but he didn’t want that for himself and she still desired him as a partner and wanted kids. He sounded kind of grossed out about it. Said he looked into it, saw pictures etc. I get it! I would probably feel the same. As you can imagine I was in shock to have this conversation go this way. He asked me if anyone ever told me that and I said no. I didn’t say anything else. Imagine my shock. I went from excited to hear from him to this is over.

 

All night I’ve been wondering what to do. I wasn’t going to say, hey so do I and tell him my story. I don’t need or want him to judge me or pity me or look at me as tainted. I have to see him saturday for a business thing and then I don’t have to ever see him. He asked me out for tonight and I said yes. I’m thinking I shouldn’t go.

My lot in life is to have an abundant life of love. I know that God will give me the desires of my heart. He taught me how to truly love someone, others and especially myself so therefore there just has to be the one for me. I’m not really sure how to handle this guy. I know he’s interested too and I would in no way move into a physical relationship until much longer than the other guy because I want to be sure about him.

I didn’t move fast with the other guy either but hindsight there were signs that he might not be the one for me. I just got caught up. But this guy, him having said this to me out right and for me to carry on with him and for him begin to fall for me I’m thinking isn’t fair. I have faith that I will see a negative lab test in my future too but perhaps I should wait for that day to start dating.

I really put my life in God’s hands, have prayed about this man before he asked me out (after I approached him ( : God knows my heart and desires, it seems so peculiar that this topic would come up so quickly. I don’t really know what God might be trying to tell me. I’m disheartened for sure. I ask for guidance everyday. I was thinking this guy could be the one since I chose him.

Thank you for your prayer. Thank you for sharing ALL That you did here. I’ve been confessing all night, “The Lord forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.” Psalm 103:3

I’m really not sure how to handle this. Any advice? It would be great if I could date him for a few months and confess God’s word with my faith daily, hourly and leave it in His hands and after a few months get tested again and if it’s still present break it off. As I type it, I know that’s still not fair to him. I will take it one day at a time. I’m going to go tonight, with God by my side and see what happens. Finish my business with him on Saturday and then slow things down if he wants to progress. God has my back what is meant to be will be.

The Daily Positive: Girl Saves Grandfather’s Life

life challenge

Ten year old Sophia noticed her grandfather was having a stroke. She, her mom, and her mother’s father (Sophia’s grandfather) were together. Take a look:

“He dropped a bag of apples, my mom tried to ask him what was wrong,” she said. “He looked confused and his face was strange. It looked like he could not pick anything up. When he tried to say something, we couldn’t understand what he was saying. I knew what was going on when it started happening.”

Sophia learned the signs because she did a school project on it.

“She worked really hard on a science project for about six months and learned all she could about strokes and the different types. When she told my daughter I was having signs of a stroke, she knew more than my daughter,” Bolderson said.

Steve Bolderson is the grandfather. Anyway, it’s a great story and I love it when kids are able to step up to get stuff done.

Wednesday Word: Dealing with desire

New here? Wednesday Word is where I go grab a video of a short sermon and post it here with my thoughts. Sermons are usually less than 10 minutes, but no longer than 20. Here’s the video:

Andy hit it again. It’s something to really consider.

Ultimately, as the commandments say, we shouldn’t have envy or lust or whatever. But, we do have desires.

But, how can we tell if we’re breaking the commandments?

Monday Motivation: Express yourself

Too many times, we keep out feelings and thoughts to ourselves. We need an outlet.

It’s time we let our voices be heard.

It’s time to express ourselves.

Some people use song (singing, playing an instrument, whatever). Some write. Others might dance. Maybe there’s an outfit that really sends a message. However you choose to do it, do it.

The simplest of ways is to literally just say it. I talk to myself. It helps me to really sort out my feelings and thoughts. Maybe do that. Some of you might think it’s crazy, but my best work has started as a conversation with myself. To each his own.

Speaking from a USA standpoint, we are free to express ourselves. And we need to take advantage of this.

Welp, I gotta go. I can hear myself calling.

Wednesday Word: Watch what you eat

This may be my favorite word of all time. It’s also one of the shortest.

 

These are the times where we really need to evaluate ourselves. It was the perfect story. He said all there is to say.

Watch what you eat this week. If we’re so full of junk food…skittles…we lose our appetite for actual nourishment. Sometimes, it shows. Maybe you text while in church. For no reason. You’re just bored…or full. Or, for you football fans; you’re ready to go home to catch the game. You even consider not going to service if it means you could miss the long behind preview shows.

What are our bellies full of?

It’s not a diet either. You can’t just come into church for a few weeks and then go back to what you were eating before. It really is a lifestyle change. If you want a healthy spiritual life, you have to eat the right food all the time.

Wednesday Word can be a healthy snack for your spiritual life; but I can’t say this is something to live on. Go to church. Hear the word. Sing the songs. It’s for your benefit.

Live well.

Monday Motivation: Fight your addiction

Most of us have that one thing we like or do that, well, would take a lot to stop dealing with. Me? This Windows Phone has been absolutely terrific. And, sadly, I may need a little rehab if I were to lose it.

You might watch a little too much TV. Or perhaps it’s something more serious like drugs or alcohol. Could be sex (can’t help ya there!). Whatever the addiction is, today…this week…from now on: FIGHT IT.

Don’t be a slave to your desires. Be strong! Fight back. “No more!” Tell that thing who’s boss. You’re calling the shots, baby!

In some cases, the things we’re fighting are a part of our lives. And so, we have to be able to manage them. Other things are harmful and need to go ASAP. I’ll leave you to be the judge of that. Be honest with yourself or you’re probably gonna fail.

I’m out.
