February 10, 2017 at 2:13 pmDear all,
I have a new prayer request.
I am an academic and recently moved overseas for a new post. I am utterly overwhelmed with the amount of work here, not to mention the unfamiliarity of it all.
Please pray for favor and grace in these things:
1. publishing excellent works in timely manner
2. teaching (especially new) courses
3. relationship with colleagues and studentsTo be honest, I’m very scared about the upcoming semester, remorseful about not having worked harder, and worried about my health that has been under so much attack. Nonetheless, God has brought me thus far and I want to be faithful to Him.
Lord, whom have I in heaven but you? Be the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Thank you all for reading and praying!

February 10, 2017 at 4:10 pmMay God show you favor as you are in a foreign land. I pray that you also find favor with your colleagues and students. Walk with a positive attitude and know that God sees all your fears and is willing to take them away if you can bring them all to His throne of grace. Give all your burdens to Jesus and let him know that you cannot do it on your own.
I pray that you may walk in good physical health even as your soul prospers in spiritual health. Ask the Holy spirit for guidance regarding the work that way you will not get overwhelmed. I believe the Holy spirit can give you a strategy on how to handle the work .
Always Remember Psalm 23 and Psalm 121 ( God is with you and all your help comes from him) meditate on this daily and finally be sure to use Ephe 6:10-18 daily as we all are in a spiritual warfare.
Be Blessed and I will keep you in my prayers. Give us an update later on how things are going 🙂
all will be well, so smile Jesus is right there besides you.soundyaaPrayers: 3085Requests: 12
February 12, 2017 at 10:18 pmI pray that despite how hard things are that you have room for Gods word and worship each day which lifts you. I pray that you become very aware which projects to take on for impact and goal achievement and I pray your students engage well with you and feedback positively. God bless.

March 6, 2017 at 11:02 amSheila kindly asked me to leave an update later on how things are going, so here’s the first update.
This is the second week of classes at my university. I’m terribly busy and my body is literally aching under stress. It also triggered my stomach ulcer/sensitivity and tachycardia. I’m thankful, however, that God saw me through my fears. I was very, very scared before the first day of classes.
Please continue to pray
1) for wisdom and favor in teaching as I’m teaching a class outside my area.
2) the ability to focus and write research papers/manuscripts with integrity and excellence that will bring glory to God (I was invited to a conference since my last post, which increased my writing load.)
3) for favor with colleagues and staff. I’ve had some trouble/difficulty (but many have been helpful and kind).Thank you. My heart was really heavy after work today, and writing out my prayer requests is doing me some good.

March 6, 2017 at 2:27 pmDear Friend in Christ,
Do you love God? I know your answer is yes but I must ask you. Do you want to be in good health? Do you want to succeed? Then do as he commands. Here is what the spirit says:
1. Do not not be afraid
2. Do not say I am scared – you are inviting the spirit of fear and once this takes control over your life, it comes with other spirits that will torment you with all sorts of sicknesses.
3.Speak life over your situation and this will help your entire being – physically, mentally and spirituallyI ask that you do the 3 things above and come back with feedback. The Lord wants to know if you will trust him or not. Please come back with a feedback. The Lord is working on you and loves you very much. May the Lord touch you and heal you supernaturally. May He level the mountains ahead of you. Have Faith and do not doubt. You are a child of the Most high ,so start acting like you are one. (I mean it) . Know that I would not say this if I didn’t care about you 🙂 it is called tough Love.
Stay strong in Christ.
Best Regards
Sheila

March 6, 2017 at 2:35 pmAmen Shelia. I believe Sheila’s words are true in this. For you
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33)

March 7, 2017 at 9:04 amThank you for writing me back so quickly.
It had not occurred to me that my fears were spiritual, but I did think about what you said today at work and tried to change my perspective. I’ve been prone to being terribly nervous that I have gone to see a counselor in the past as well.
Anyway, yes I do love God and I want to represent him well in my work, which is a very secular field.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your hearts.

March 14, 2017 at 4:32 amYour prayer request has touched my heart and given me strength. I am also in the midst of under taking a new career challenge. One that has the the potential to, if I allow it, create much dear and anxiety in my life. My prayer for you is that you head His word and trust that it be a lamp to your feet guiding the way as you take each step. Have courage as the Lord remains steadfast by your side to give you strength and endurance as you move forward one step at a time.
Blessings to you always.

March 15, 2017 at 1:26 pmDear all,
I came back to report, which is the least I can do after all of you showed so much grace. I feel bad I can’t stay around and pray as much.
Here’s my progress report: I’m still mindfully fighting discouragement and insecurity (I hope you understand that it’s more easily said that done), but I also have practiced courage and cared for myself rather than trying to please everybody, which is unnerving for me. I need much more wisdom than I have relied on in the past, which is also very good.
At any rate, reading your prayers and counsels again is doing me good.
And, ny2sf3000, thank you for your message. I pray that God will protect your heart and mind, guide you in peace, and give you the grace to thrive in the career change. You’ve encouraged me as well–it’s helpful to see people in similar shoes.
Thank you all. Blessings.
