“I am a Christian and I do not know what is going on with me.
I am tired of being broke.low on food, clothing etc.
I am tired of being without.I am a licensced minister but yet I have
this fear of speaking bodly in public.I have a fear of prayer out loud before others, to others.
I do speak in tongues in my private prayers and as a whole in the congregation.
You see,people are always tellng me,that my grammar is bad, I am
always corrected so I retreat from speaking or taking at times. I feel inferior among others especually those who has degrees
I get looked over on the job, over promotions.Some people don't seem
to respect me. It seems they respect me until I open my mouth and get
to know me better.I have a tendency to draw people away from me.(Sometime I don't act mature enough and I don't know why. I hope I am
making sense
I believe in all the workings of the Holy Ghost but it is not
evident in my life.I am almost jelaous of the unsave people I know because they live better then me
My ex-husband left me 20 years ago and I have not remarried,(
I don't know what's wrong,and, it's as if men do not pay me any mind,(christian). Only the ungodly ones.
I seem to have no power, no zeal, I'm just plain tired.I have no
desire to read the Word, or pray, I feel numb.
Waht is going on?"

Dear Sister,
You are not as bad as you potray yourself..as a matter of fact..you are a sign and a wonder!
Psalm 139:14 reads; "I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and my soul knows very well.
The problem with you seems to be that you do not believe in yourself. You do not seem to know who you are. You need to discover yourself.
1. You are created in the image of God.. you are not an animal! God deposited His traits in you. You should see yourself as a likeness of God..but you are seeng yourself as someone that dropped from the skies.
If you dont not believe in yourself, no body will believe in you. If you do not believe in you ability to succeed and achieve a goal..no body will give you any responsibility. No wonder you are not able to get a Job. No company assigns responsibilities to people that consider themeselves as failures.
2. God has deposited some skills and talents in you. You need to search yourself and discover your hidden talents. There is something in you that you know how to do that nobody know how to do better. I reject the fact that you are a failure. The fact is that you are a champion waiting to manifest.
The Bible says you are a wonderfully and fearfully made.
3 Stop looking down on yourself as a failure. Success starts from the heart. Develop a winning mentality. Repackage your destiny. Brand yourself. Market your talents. And advertise your success.
4. Fear not. Be bold and courageous. All the Israelites that said they could not poccess the land of promise died in the wilderness. Caleb and one other person that said they could defeat the Goliaths in the land were the only two that saw the land.
Stop being afraid. Fear is an evil spirit..You have the spirit of God in you. When fear sees you, it should run. Stopping running for fear..and let fear run from you. Open you mouth and speak..you are preaching for God not men. Anyone that is not satisfiied with your grammar would have to closed his ears.
More importantly, You can do all things. Pray to God and His spirit will teach you steps to take to improve your grammar.
The enemy you have is you. You are linmiting yourself. Break out from your self pity, believe in yourself, stop looking down on yourself and people will start looking up to you.
1. Every thought of failure that the enemy has planted in my heart, roast by fire in Jesus name.
2. I am destined to succeed and progammed to be a winner in Jesus name.
3. Odour of failure following me around, be cleased by the blood of Jesus
