The center chapter of the BIBLE is Psalm 118.. there are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118
And if we will add this we will get 1188... in which the center verse of the BIBLE is PSALM 118:8
What is the significant of Psalm 118:8 in God's perfect will for our lives?
It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.-- Psalm 118:8
When things get tough, always remember faith doesn't get you around trouble..
it gets you through it!
When you relinquish the desire to control your future you obtain happiness...
Prayer:
Father God, bless my friend in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day....
May their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have closer relationship with you. Amen...

i, my name is Karen and I am so grateful to hear how GOD rescued your daughter and her friends from the car accident. You really realize HIS everlasting, always Present ways especially in those times!
I've gone through many problems with my self, children and now my grandson, who is improving from an ATC accident that flew him into Jackson Memorial Trauma Unit...it's the best hospital possibly in the U.S.; at least in Miami, FL. He went in with10% chance of living and now, a month later, he has been through surgery for his right arm, of which the drs. think he will have no use of, But, GOD has the final word on all things. He broke his jaw in five places, was very banged up, bruised lungs, but, today, one month after all of this, he is now in a room with a direct line. The vent came off after his jaw surgery, but, he kept the trach for several days, it was removed Friday, and his mom heard his voice for the first time in a month, WHAT A BLESSING! He was so thirsty, his biggest complaint, and now his mom and dad supplied all of the favorite drinks he loves. I just tried to call, but, I've been put off for a half an hour, I guess he is busy with nurses and/or doctors. To OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, I am so grateful for HIS rescueing my grandson and bringing about his healing so quickly. Eddie has a great sense of humor and attitude has so much to do with everything.
Speaking of attitude, I can't seem to get mine right with the LORD. I am stuggling with a drug addiction which I developed six years ago after going on chemo type treatments. My body is so warn out without any pain medication, that whenever there is a time I know I need energy to do something, I take them ahead of time to keep up with the action.
I really want to come to a place where I hate the drugs and be able to trust JESUS, that HE will restore me from this with a complete deliverance, but, I can't get my inner-self broken to allow HIS Spirit to come through. I am so much in the way.
I have suffered addiction a big part of my life, but, in 1992 GOD delivered me from alcoholism and HE came into my heart and made my life aware of HIS PRESENCE at all times for a solid ten years and after getting ill for the last six years, I have fallen away.
My heart longs so much for walking with HIM in HIS SPIRIT all the time, I know HE is here and will never leave me, and my heart cries when I think of HIM, when I'm praying and I have asked for help and deliverance from these pills and HE is taking a much longer time, I've been ill and no energy for six years now, and I pray that HE WILL TOUCH ME WITH HIS HEALING HAND, and let me have my life back, to serve HIM. That's all I really want in my heart, but, the alabaster jar, my self-will, can not get broken...I guess it's for my dis-obedience of taking the pills instead of depending on HIM and waiting for HIS MIRACLE, but all of the perseverence in the last six years, has not build a patience in me, but, an urgency and an anger within myself to get well NOW.
lease pray for my obedience, trust and faith in JESUS to quit and go through the detox, because I know walking with HIM is AWESOME, WONDERFUL, UP-LIFTING, the GREATEST LIFE of all...I just don't understand myself, knowing but, not doing. I guess I'm an addict, but, I know that I am a new creature in CHRIST and all old things have passed; so how did I end up in this position again?
Thanks for letting me vent! I have a great life, a great, great family, four adult children, eleven grandchildren and in five months I'll be a 'Great-Grandma! I have a wonderful GOD-Fearing husband who stays involved in ministry and with the church all the time and I just keep mopping! I need a CHRIST-MINDED ATTITUDE again, and I try daily staying in HIS WORD, but, I guest I need a true repentance of my sin. I hate the path of surrender, but, I know the point of surrender is the most AWESOME place to be. It's on the Mount of Transfiguration, where I, like Peter want to build the tent and stay there. Life has become difficult for me. I don't know if my tiredness is my lack of energy doing things, or if doing things tears me down. I do one little thing and have to sit down, and repeat that throughout the day, so I have become a couch potato, reading, watching t.v. and withdrawing from life. I am a true isolator, but, when I am in CHRIST, I am a lover of all people, especially the seemingly unloveable...I guess because I feel unloveable, but, everyone pours love out all over me. It builds me up and CHRIST seems to flow through me, but, I come back to the isolation.
Karen...><>...any words of wisdom or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for listening...I don't even know if it has anything to do with your other comments, I'm just stuggling so much with this that it ends up coming out everytime I comment anywhere. I am a desparate sinner, longing for JESUS' SPIRIT to AWAKEN in me again, that I may live for HIM in the abundant life that HE promises.
hey hoacg,wow that is just like GOD to do something like that,i dont belive in coincidences, its neat that that picture is here. we have a lot of rain and wind here,very wet,nice to be indoors and chillout. what took u 2 kentucky? one of my favorite songs is playing from your site my redeemer lives,great song. i am so sorry for what you r going through right now, i am going through some similar situations , my wife has left,i did see it coming though,she said it was for a little while ,its been a few months, and i found out she has been seeing someone she out close to atlanta,about 4hrs out. it is robly for the best. anyway i know that GOD is still on the throne and that HE alone cancomfort all of his children and that will call on HIM.

Just read your comments and your profile after you re-wrote it. I want you to know the Lord is near to the broken-hearted and heals their wounds (Psalm 34:18; 147:3). There is healing for your damaged life and emotions even though it may not feel like it right now.
I see you joined "Separated, Divorced, Loss of a Spouse" group. Was there anything in there that was helpful to you? Encouraging to you?
Having struggled with severe depression for much of my adult life, I know there is healing. May God give you joy and surround you with friends who will love and support you until that day arrives. Thank you for sharing your heart. You've come to the right place!
Hello Everyone
I need your prayers please. I need help and I know that I can not do this on my own.
I have been battling depression for almost 2 yrs now and today I realized that I have just become comfortable with feeling bad every single day. I have become a robot and have just been going through the motions of this life that I live. It all stated when my now ex husband cheated on me and left. I loved him with all my heart and I never saw it coming. I have forgiven him and told him that I did. I thought that once I got to the point to where I could do that then I would start to feel better and be able to get past it all. But nothing has changed.
I don't want to keep feeling this way any longer. I am tired of faking it. I want to feel happy again, I want to feel love again. I need my joy back.
'Keep your heart with all diligence,
for out of it spring the issues of life..'
Proverbs 4:23
Today's Scripture reading emphasizes the importance of caring for our heart.
Are we keeping spiritually fit?
WEIGHT: Do we need to lose the weight of unnecessary burdens and cares?
PULSE: Are we maintaining a steady rhythm of gratitude and praise?
BLOOD PRESSURE: Is our trust greater than our anxiety?
DIET: Are we enjoying the life-giving nutrients of the Word of God?
Have you checked your heart lately?
To keep spiritually fit,Consult with the Great Physician...
O Lord, You see what's in the heart...
There's nothing hid from You;
So help us live the kind of life..
that's filled with love for You...Amen...
We are so glad to hear of how God spared your daughter from injury. Praising God with you and thanks, by the way, for joining TheNET. Hope you are enjoying your time here and growing in the Lord!
My daughter was in a wreck last night, and Bless God she is ok only shook up a bit. A person who saw the accident told me that the driver tire blew out and the car left the roadway (country road) as the kids went around a curve, he said that he saw the car lift up on it's side and felt sure it was going to flip but it set itself back down gently. He also told me that if the car had flipped all 3 of the kids in it would have died. I believe in my heart that God saved my daughter and her friends last night, and I thank God with all my heart that he did. Every night when i pray I plead the Blood of Jesus over every one of my children and grand children. Oh how I love the Lord he is so good to me!!!!
Thought I'd just stop by to say Hello! it's late & I wouldn't be surprized if I have horses running in my dreams tonight! Laugh! My daughter used to have pictures of horses all over her walls when she was in high school. God bless & have a great day!
Don't go for looks, they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile.
There are moments in life
when you really miss someone
that you want to pick them up
from your dreams and hug them.
Hope you dream of that someone.
Dream what you want to dream,
go where you want to go,
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want in life.
May you have...
Enough happiness to make you sweet
Enough trials to make you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human
Enough hope to make you happy
And enough money to buy gifts.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens.
But we often took so long at the closed door,
that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the one
you could sit on a porch, swing with,
never saying a word and then walk away feeling
like that was the best conversation you've had.
It's true that we don't know
what we've got until we lose it,
but it's also true that we don't know what
we've been missing until it arrives.
Always put yourself in other's shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably does hurt the person too.
A careless word may kindle a strife;
A cruel word may wreck a life
A timely word may level stress
A lovely word may heal and bless.
The beginning of love is to let those we love
be perfectly themselves and
not to twist them with our own image,
otherwise we love only the reflection
of ourselves we find in them.
The happiest people don't necessarily
have the best of everything,
they just make the most of everything
that comes along the way.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one so that
when we finally meet the right person,
we should know how to be grateful for that gift.
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone and a day to love someone
- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt,
those who have searched
and those who have tried.
For only they can appreciate the importance
of people who have touched their lives.
Love is when you take away the feeling,
the passion, the romance
and find out you still care for that person.
A sad thing about life is that when you meet
someone who means a lot to you
only to find out in the end that it was never
bound to be and you just have to let go.
Love starts with a smile,
develops with a kiss
and ends with a tear.
Love comes to those who still hope
even though they've been disappointed,
to those who still believe
even though they've been betrayed,
need to love those who still love,
even though they've been hurt before.
It hurts to love someone,
and not to be loved in return
but what is most painful is to love someone
and never finds the courage
to let the person know how you feel.
The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past.
You can't go on well in life until you let go
of your past failures and heartaches.
Never say goodbye when you still want to try;
Never give up when you still feel you can take it;
Never say you don't love that person anymore
when you can't let go.
Giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they'll love you back.
Don't expect love in return,
just wait for it to grow in their hearts
but if it doesn't,
be content it grew in yours.
There are things you love to hear
but you would never hear it from
the person whom you would like to hear it from,
but don't be deaf to hear it from the person
who says it with his heart.
When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life to the fullest so that when you die,
you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.

you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.
