Please pray that God will return to me the joy of His Salvation and restore peace to my heart.  I have been going through a great depression and need God to deliver me from the feeling of dispair and hopelessnesss.
  My life isn't going as I would have hoped it would and now as the year is almost over, I am reminded again of how much I have missed and how much I need things to change.  Please pray God will give me the Hope I need to make it through another year.

Thank you.

 

Hi all,

My in laws think that they are so perfect and it is driving me out of my mind.
My father in-law has to be in the same classes I am and is of course getting better grades and has to act so smug about it in a not too subtle way. My prayer request? that God would teach them not to act so arrogant and puffed up.
This guy does everything just right and he does it in a way to make others feel small. I pray that the Lord would let him fail once so he would quit acting like he's perfect and his wife would stop bragging all the time. I know how selfish this all may sound to some of you and believe me when I say that I try not to be envious of him, but his subtle in your face attitude doesn't help matters. Please pray for God to give me more grace to deal with this and also help me do better in my classes. I had to be out of class the last couple of days because I had to go to the dentist for dental work done so now I am behind and it's giving him another edge over me.
It's bad enough that this man is a pharisee, but now he is getting a better education that is causing his head to swell up even more. She is really no better than he is and loves to rub it in every time I visit them. Would it be wrong or sin to ask the Lord to send them both a thorn in the flesh to keep them humble? The way it's going now he will graduate before I will if I ever will and it will be even more unbearable to be around them. God help me please.
