Freeper Desperately Seeking Prayers (Vanity)
Me | 21 June 2013 | Me

Posted on 06/21/2013 8:40:36 PM PDT by prayerneeded

I apologize in advance for the "vanity" thread. I am not a "spambot" or a "zot." I am a freeper of over twelve years, who is embarrassed and ashamed to use my regular log in for this post.

For those of you who are praying people, please include me in your regular prayers: our apartment landlord has told us that we have to vacate the premises within the next six weeks because, apparently, "we are the problem" as a white, heterosexual thirty-something couple who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and doesn't do drugs. We don't have company over, or play loud music or have parties. But all the while, our "ghetto" neighbors (the nicest way I know to put it) are becoming more annoying, threatening and loud with us.

My wife and I spent all week looking for houses, but could not find anything nice in our price range. And this morning, I went to the doctor because of all my stress and anxiety over it all, and they gave me a prescription to help cope with my nerves. Very worried and scared now. Don't want to have to defend myself in a physical confrontation with the ghetto neighbors. And I don't want to be homeless. Exhausted from it all, and don't know what will happen next. Please pray for us. Thank you, and sorry again for the vanity post.

You asked only for prayer.

No explanations are necessary.

Peace be with you.

Thanks. I missed that, and my snarky post was rightly deleted.

I’m praying for this freeper right now.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH!



Heavenly Lord, Please Hold Prayerneeded In The Shelter Of Your Healing Wings!
_________________________________________________________________

The Twenty-Third Psalm
Mahalia Jackson
(Click)


The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 23 -KJV









"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

What in the world is there for you to be ashamed about?

Prayers. Maybe God is permitting this to get you away from lowlifes before something really bad happens.

This sounds somewhat like our situation, except that we have to move because the LL decided to sell the building after our being here for 20 years, and it is not because we are considered the “propbem,” though past moral stands were a matter of much conflict with the LL and her BF.

I try to give tracts to everyone i come by, and as they are Latin (but not Mexican) then they are usually quite receptive. They are mostly Catholic, but i think some have been truly born again.

We were given two months notice, June 30 being D day, but only really went to look at apts this month, which are very few in this area for lower price we can afford (approx 1300— 1600 for 3-4 br) and are down to the last week. Then the Fire dept told my LL that she cannot pass papers till all the fire alarms are hard wired, even though the new owner has a permit to renovate the place, ‘

We do Christian ministry (and no smoking, drinking or even TV) and so our choices are constrained to serve that. Prices are high due to demand around here, plus sec. 8 etc. i think, and if you are low income and not in the system, then you compete with high incomes for what is left, etc.

But i am not really worried, as i known God will provide, even if it is at the last. But help though my unbelief.

If you want to FRmail me with your area i can search for you, and i pray God places you were is best spiritually and otherwise, to His glory. Know Jesus, Know life.

Thanks to those who recently commented, who are willing to pray for my situation. We looked at more houses today, but I have to go back to work tomorrow (my weekend is Friday/Saturday), and I am very physically ill over all this. Please continue to pray, and thanks to those who I may have missed.

The Lorica (Breastplate) of Saint Patrick

A literal translation from the old Irish text.

The Lorica (Breastplate) of Saint Patrick, Apostle to the Emerald Isle

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
I believe in the Trinity in Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
The virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the love of seraphim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the hope of resurrection unto reward,
In prayers of Patriarchs,
In predictions of Prophets,
In preaching of Apostles,
In faith of Confessors,
In purity of holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I bind to myself today
The power of Heaven,
The light of the sun,
The brightness of the moon,
The splendour of fire,
The flashing of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of sea,
The stability of earth,
The compactness of rocks.

I bind to myself today
God’s Power to guide me,
God’s Might to uphold me,
God’s Wisdom to teach me,
God’s Eye to watch over me,
God’s Ear to hear me,
God’s Word to give me speech,
God’s Hand to guide me,
God’s Way to lie before me,
God’s Shield to shelter me,
God’s Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons,
Against the seductions of vices,
Against the lusts of nature,
Against everyone who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near,
Whether few or with many.

I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false
prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.

Christ, protect me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ in the pupi deck,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity,
I believe in the Trinity in Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

Ask St. Joseph and St. Jude to help you “find” something. I will also pray for you.

Thanks again to everyone praying for us. We made an offer on a house today, and I am very nervous as to whether or not they will accept it. Right now, even with an acceptance of our offer, we are up against the clock in terms of how long it takes to process a home loan, versus the tight deadline that the landlord has given us. Please continue to pray for us, and that maybe the landlord will open his eyes and heart to our situation, and give us a few more days. Otherwise, we may have to put our furniture and all possessions in storage, and live on the street or out of a hotel or something.

Thanks also to those who have sent me private Freepmail. I tried to respond to each of you who did, but I received a message from FR, saying "Sorry, your account is too new to use this feature." Maybe I can log into my other existing FR account and write you back.

Your FReepmail has been activated so you can answer/thank those who have mailed you.

Second accounts are generally frowned upon, so when the dust settles, if you could let the mods know so me can close this one out it would be appreciated.
