Hi there,

I'm going to add my two cents here too <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" />

I think I know what you are asking. I know many people here can give examples like this.. but I will give two. I have a certain "crisis" in my own life too. And God has been so kind and good in it.. and has given me guidance and direction and comfort.

The first example.. with the situation that is going on, someone told me that I was being "set up" to take a fall for something very serious that is going on. I had a hard time wrapping my head around that for sure. Well, I came home, and that night was thinking and praying about it. I decided to open the bible just for some comfort and the first thing I turned to was:

Psalm 141
"1 A Psalm of David. Lord, I cry out to You; Make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You. 2 Let my prayer be set before You as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. 4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice wicked works With men who work iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.

5 Let the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; It shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked. 6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the cliff, And they hear my words, for they are sweet. 7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, As when one plows and breaks up the earth. 8 But my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord; In You I take refuge; Do not leave my soul destitute. 9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, And from the traps of the workers of iniquity. 10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely."

I couldn't believe it! I didn't even know that Psalm was in there! So God "spoke" to me through His word.

The second example does not include the bible necessarily, but it only confirms what He promises. Last Friday night, I was beginning to doubt if God would continue to provide for us. I was starting to worry. I didn't exactly pray "officially" about it.. just sort of examining myself on some things. The very next morning, I was getting ready to take my kids out and had coats on the three older ones. I saw someone pull up in the driveway and wondered who it was. My kids ran outside and while I was putting the baby's coat on, the others started walking back in the house with groceries! Holy cats LOL. Then.. my aunt walked in the house. My kids don't really know who she is because she never comes over.. and doesn't call. She's just a very busy gal. She helped me put the groceries away (and believe me.. we needed them!) And asked if she could speak to me privately.

She told me that she called her husband's family, and our family, and they all want to help make sure my kids have a christmas. She said her bible study group also wants to help. I asked her "what came over you??" She said that she had been wanting to do something for the longest time, but the night before at her bible study group, (the night I was worrying) it really "kicked her [img]https://the-highway.com/Smileys/censored.gif[/img]" and she decided that morning that "this is the day I'm going to do something!" She almost could not contain herself. Well.. that was the perfect day for her to come eh? I am not worried anymore about God's provision and Lord willing, will not doubt again.

Those are just two examples of how God has been working in a very real way. One was right directly through His word, and the other was His working through my aunt, but He was still fulfilling His promise because of His faithfulness.

I know this probably doesn't address your issue specifically.. but I hope it helps <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
