Friends,

I have adopted a new pen name for this forum (JEE). I will probably not be posting any longer as "J o h n E a r p." I also would humbly ask for your prayers. I am facing something in my life that only God can resolve. To those here that I have ever offended, I sincerely apologize. God is doing a major overhaul on my attitude right now, and it seems as if I'm going through a dark night of the soul.

Everything's fine with my family and my marriage, but for the past two weeks, every day I've felt an increasingly severe degree of spiritual and mental attack from the enemy. I hope that some here will find it in their heart to pray for me. I'll probably be kind of scarce around here for a while. I feel I need to "pray through" this problem, as they say.

Thanks and God bless,

John

What a coincidence that Dr. Boyd is going through a dark night of the soul too. God must be moving! I will be praying for you, John.

I'll be praying.

John,
You are one who has shown kindness, and thoughtfulness, and I have found your posts to be insightful and encouraging. I would be honoured to pray for you.

We all go through those "dark nights." It's good not to go through them alone, but to know that we have brothers and sisters who pray, and walk along side.

God Bless,
Jo-Anne

John,

If you haven't done so already go over to the Woodland Hills site and have a listen to the Doc's July 4th message.

peace, don

John, I agree with Might-be-don in that you might find some comfort in knowing you are not the only one going through a dark hour of the soul.

I also agree with Jo-Anne, you have shown kindness and thoughtfulness in your posts.


I will be praying. The song Somebody's Praying Me Through is a reminder that you have many praying on your behalf.

I'm going through a "boring day at work of the soul" and I'll be praying for you, John Earp, er, JEE.

While there is certainly comfort in walking a path together, much of the Doc's message from Psalms 73 is practical wisdom.

Have a listen...

peace, don

Peace be with U JEE,
Sometimes being a little bullheaded and stubborn Clowncan be a helpful attribute for fighting off the mental attacks of the enemyEvil Tongue.

Don’t be an MIA for long, we need you around here.

My prayers are with you,

I have never found anything you wrote to be offensive, and I'm praying for you, brother!

I'll be praying too:

"Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner."


quote:
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Glory to thee, our God, glory to thee.

O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of truth, who art in all places and fillest all things; Treasury of good things and Giver of life: Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls, O gracious Lord.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal : have mercy on us. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit : now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for thy Name’s sake.

Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit : now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
