Perhaps she was tricked into this lion's den or perhaps it's God's way of sharpening iron or simply placing her in a place where she could spread the seeds when people there are most needed. My analogy on Joseph is not about free will, it's just about that in dire and hopeless situation there may be a higher purpose that we mere humans could never fathom. If you don't mind me saying a cliche that God works in mysterious ways. Let's just keep it at that.
I am simply here to ask for prayer support. Instead I have this awfully feeling of , for the lack of a better word, rebuke.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Cor. 4
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Heb. 6
It is that very hope--which is the complete OPPOSITE of despair--that is the anchor that holds our soul:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Heb. 6
Thank you for caring and your prayers. I feel conflicted and perplexed about all this debate and doubt. Usually I send her these prayer links so she would have hope and be uplifted knowing that people care.
She has little knowledge of posting in forums so I do all the work for her. In this case, I will not send her this thread. Not that she is a spoiled child that couldn't take some criticisms from someone who could be more of a meat fed Christian, but reading this is counter productive at her current fragile state.
