Hey, sweetheart, I'm sorry I was unable to get on here. I try to be on here at least a couple times a day. The thing that God has led me into has really kept me busy lately....which I praise him for. I'm certainly not complaining. I'm happy to be used by Him. but sometimes I wish there were 2 of me. haha. Do you still have the yahoo address I gave you before?? Get on your alltel email . I'll send you an email so you can see me there. Love you.

There's 4 that need help with addiction right now. All 4 are with pain pills and are need of the thoughts and prayers of each of you on here. Our ministry has now reached across the state to so many....Praise God! We do not even know nor will we ever know some of those who we are being able to help find their way.........but God does. There are 2 males and 2 females that are going this week and another one that we are hoping will be going soon. There's so many more that are contacting The Journey of Hope as well as other resources that we work close with, just crying out for help. Please keep all these people, along with their families on your hearts as God continues to work with them........and satan continues to attack them. Lets pray that in this tug-of-war, that we, as Christians, can step up to show them the love and compassion that Christ would and lead them to HIM> JOH

I have personally struggled with addiction for 6 years. I know how it feels to be in bondage to something that you love( at first), yet hate with everything in you. I would not wish an addiction on my worst enemy. However, through receiving help from joh, I also know what it feels like to have my life back, and to really smile without being drug induced. I am happier than I have ever been in my life. Getting to this point was not a quick nor easy process, but in life the best things are things that you have to work hard for. I am praying for everyone who struggles with addiction, because I KNOW how you feel, as well as the families with addicted children/relatives. I hope and pray that you will decide to take that first step to get help and trust God to do the rest. HE is the only reason I am still sober today. I love you and am here for you.

Please pray for a young man by the name of John who is 24 years old and has had a stroke due to the use of oxycontin. He was fine when he went to bed and could not get out of bed the next morning and has been 100% blind since. He is able to walk now and his speech has improved dramatically. Please pray also for his mother. His father passed away a year ago and now it is just he and his mother. They have no other family. His mother works at a very low paying job and sits with him all night in a hospital room. Just please keep this family in your prayers.

I just want to say that one of the places listed on here is Penfield Homes in Georgia, which is for men only. Once we contacted this home about our loved ones needs, they were great about getting him in within just a very few days and once there he was accepted with open arms and dealt with like no other place had ever dealt with him. They showed him much love and compassion and today he is free from those chains that satan once had him bound in. They taught him how to apply biblical principles to his life and how to allow God to direct his thoughts and actions. He now needs all of the prayers of all who reads this, because now is when the real healing begins. Now the spiritual warfare has really begun. He is praying and going to church and meetings and continuing his relationship with God, but satan is throwing darts and big ones at that. God is a great and powerful God and through Him all things are possible. He can and will bring those who desperately seek him out of that miry clay, but they must seek Him first. He needs to be bathed in prayer and covered with those prayers throughout the day. Please join with me in those prayers now. Thank you. Praise God for the Blessings we've already seen take place and what we will see!!

Seems like sometimes no matter how hard we try after getting clean, that we cant do anything right. I thought after 9 months of rehab I could come out, get a job, get back in church and get my family back in order and things would be right again. but the devil wont leave me and my family alone. Please, please, you may not know my name, but God does. Im asking you to pray for me all throughout the day. I need a better job, and healing in my relationships with my family and alot of forgiveness from them. I am saved but I cant get back where I need to be. I dont feel God when I'm in church. I want to. Please I need people to talk to me and pray with me to get me through these times. I need to feel God in my heart and soul again. I need Gods touch. thankyou

Dear Anonymous, my heart breaks to read your comments, mainly because this is the story we hear over and over again from recovering addicts. You didnt mention anything about being in any kind of follow up programs. This is one thing I highly recommend for you. Not just for you, but also for those who are closest to you. No, not everyone will find a way to forgive you, so dont expect it, or you will continue to be disappointed. The Lord wants nothing more than for you to be happy and productive in your job, your relationships and above all He wants that personal, intimate relationship with you. He hasnt moved. He's still in the same place He's always been, but when we drift away, its hard to get back. Dont stop praying. Stay in His house, surrounded by His people. Find a good AA/Na, Celebrate Recovery or a similar meeting to get involved in and go every chance you have and get into those steps whole heartedly. God will speak to you through His word and He will direct your path. Go to the book of Psalms. There you will find comfort for today. Cry out to God. He will hear your cries. You are in my prayers. JOH

I have got to get off of methadone. How do I do it? Can someone tell me how they did it? Why do they not tell you when you start this and suboxone that you'll never be able to get off of it? they make it sound so good.
