    Just need a little 'lifting up' prayer please

    I am dealing with some people on the net caught in some truly terrible sin full life styles and trying to do some witnessing. They have distorted the scriptures so much...

    Anyway its just draining for me having to even think about their sins. But I feel God is leading me to do this witnessing...plus also some other issues on my mind. I just need prayers of protection while witnessing to these people and prayers for whatever else you can think of I might need..lol.

    Thanks

    God bless
    "People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; We drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; We drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated?" - D A Carson

    Yes, asking the Lord to go before you and to give you the utterance necessary to plant the seeds of salvation in these hearts. Paying also for protection and a restful spirit this weekend.

    Thank you all. I just felt so run down and weary yesterday...a different kind of tired you know? I have been talking to a number of different people (witnessing) on the net lately ...but the one I was struggling with was one that claims to be a Christian but is in some very deep terrible sin and abusing the scriptures to justify this. Its one of those situations where you struggle with whether to just walk away or as least show them the warnings in the bible if they continue doing this. I did, but then was accused of being hateful and persecuting them. I did not accuse or say, you are going to hell...or attack them but simple showed them scripture. But thinking about their sins which are sick and twisted and dark...was getting to me. Though I was doing my best to NOT think about it and keep focused on other things. Hopefully its over now with this person anyway. Thanks for your prayers.

    God bless

    Praying that the Lord will continue to lead you into situations that need the clarity of His Word, and that His Strength will enable you to percevere to the end in each situation . . .

    I was thinking how the Book of Jude was applicable here in so many ways... like when Michael says, "the Lord rebuke you..." Sometimes, all you can do is present the truth and then walk away.
