I know the secret

Want the secret to no more drama, not being so easily offended, no more button-pushing, and no more fear -anxiety - depression - and hopelessness in your stepfamily household?? It's one word. One action. Prayer.
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
I'm telling you, as a stepmom, 2nd time around wife, and biomom, I guarantee, prayer can do in the supernatural what is impossible in the natural. Prayer can do anything God can do. prayer works. Prayer works. Prayer works.

Tried that many times, without success I must add.
Was going to explain further but was afraid to offend you.
Glad it works for you though, truly.

I have.
I don't see them any more.
We had to take drastic action because the situation got out of control.
We have peace now but its an uneasy kind of peace if you know what I mean.

Seeing this blesses my heart. I have recently decided to let go of the hate and anger in my life after hearing a wonderful sermon at church on Sunday. I could have sworn that the pastor was speaking directly to me. He talked about how his first marriage fell apart because he was so full of hate and wasn't focused on God. Once he focused on God he was blessed with a second chance and he and his wife have an amazing relationship and a wonderful family.
The slightest thought of my marriage ending is enough to bring my world crashing down. We have been in love since we were teenagers and he is the most wonderful person I have ever met. I can't imagine my life without him. I need to stop being angry with him for his decisions from when we were growing up and focus on what we have now.
I have been praying for God to take my hate and anger away and it has been working. I still have negative thoughts and feelings sometimes when I think about his ex girlfriend or their daughter, but with God's help I have been able to put those thoughts out of my mind and focus on the good. God has already given me so much and He never ceases to amaze me. I know that with Him anything is possible, and I will continue to pray for the strength I need to be a positive, affectionate and loving part of my step daughters life. She didn't ask to be born into a family with parents that hated eachother after all. It is up to me to be fair and understanding and to help her grow into the best person she can be.

I have been praying for ss for a long time and for myself to have an open heart and his guidance-it's all I can do. Are my prayers being answered? Who knows? I imagine they probably are-but in his way not mine.

Yes,yes and yes to all these posts! What has really helped me in my prayer life ( I had a shitty childhood, I know boohoo but I've been praying since I had the ability to do so)is remembering that I might get an answer that I wasn't looking for. Smile God's plan for us is his alone and it happens in his time, not ours. Laura, maybe God DID answer your prayers with the uneasy truce you have now. I would continue to pray for peace in your heart, but if not prayer maybe meditation or Buddist chants? I'm Catholic but not closed minded to other than the "catholic way". And keep in mind, a very wise Baptist once said to me(I've never forgotten, I should sew it into a pillow) "no where in the bible does it say you have to be a doormat for someone else's rudeness". Even Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple, and he wasn't nice about it either!
