Psalms 9:10, Psalms 18:2,30, Psalms 56:3, Psalms 71:5, Isaiah 12:2, our trust & hope should ultimately be in GOD
* Psalms 118:8, * Jeremiah 9:4, * Micah 7:5,6, Luke 12:52, Psalms 27:10, Ephesian 6:2,3, Proverbs 23:22, people even most dear can betray, abandon, abuse etc. There was much abuse, betrayal, within King David's family & those he served. 1Samuel 21, 2Samuel 15, Saul his King, his children, wife, etc. Starting with his calling, 1Samuel 16:5-11,
Psalms 20:7,
Psalms 62:2,5,8, 2Samuel 22:3,31,
Job 4:17-21,
Psalms 17:7, Psalms 25:2, Psalms 31:19,
Psalms 40:4, Psalms 44:6, Psalms 49:6,7,
Luke 14:26, trust GOD 1st & only yet honor them, this may be when there is contradiction to GOD's will & commandments. Even Jesus faced those struggles with earthly parents & family. Mark 3:20,21, Mark 3:31-35, John 7:3-5, Luke 2:42-52,
1st Paul the one given credit for writing book of Acts was not around Jesus CHRIST during the days before HIS Resurrection, Acts 8, Paul was actually opposed. That might be the past tense reference, if there was any reference to that being past tense at all.
2nd I read Acts 18:28, as a fact that Jesus was Who HE said he was, the same as: is who HE said HE is. In USA I've lived around many dialects of English = in the "deep south" Eastern coast the 1st would make perfect sense to most. English in the deeper South still has many phrases & words used in KJV like 'Breeches' However Michigan area the second way, may be understood better.
3rd Please read the entire Books of Matthew 1, Mark 1, Luke 1, John 1, starting with 1st chapters to see who Jesus CHRIST was & is.
4th maybe most important is the Old Testament points to Jesus being CHRIST all throughout. The same Jesus in the Books of the New Testament. For instance all throughout Psalms points to things Jesus did, & suffered, ' Prophetic fulfillment ' : Psalms 2:6-8, Psalms 8:2, Psalms 27:6, Psalms 16:10, Psalms 18:44, * Psalms 22:1,7,8,14,15,16,17,18,24,27,28,30,31,

Hello Mazie. I believe you can create a shortcut for KJBO, or any other webpage, but it won't appear on your Desktop screen as a 'typical' shortcut - but as a shortcut to the web address link you save. If that's what you want, then do this:
a. go to the KJBO Main webpage (not its sub-pages) & reduce it in size, where you can see both it & your desktop.
b. then highlight the web address in the address bar at the top of the webpage; sometimes it will highlight on its own with one click or else, after you click on it, then with your left mouse button pressed, drag the cursor to the other end of the URL to highlight it.
c. with your mouse, hold the left button down & drag that link to your desktop & drop it anywhere. Now you should be able to click on that 'shortcut' & open it to KJBO's Main Page. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words. The girls are in counseling. And they do have church every Sunday. We do do family dinners and we Dupre at dinner time every night. I asked the girls to pray before they go to sleep at night as well in any other time that they feel they need to talk to God to do so. I have been reading through the Bible right now plus they have a daily devotional for kids their age. The Bible that the reading right now is for children her age so they can understand it. But it is a king James version. My other two older daughters a very involved. You've always been a very close family. Some days are harder than others, because the girls were never taught right from wrong, I respect your elders and how to respect themselves. They've been with us since we were 7&8 in February for the 11 and 12. they don't appreciate anything because everything I think ever had has been stolen or taken away wait when they have lost a home, because their mother didn't pay the rent she use the money for other things. They grew up seeing their mother take what she wanted from others and to do what she wanted no matter what the consequences were. I think that it's OK to do. I pray for these girls every night every day that God will help him to see that they need to change their ways so that they can be happy little girls without any cares in the world. Been almost 3 years and they still take food and hide it, they still yell at me and tell me what they're gonna do and if they don't have to do anything that I tell him. They know that I won't spank him only thing I do is take things from them, one time I was going to spank Hazel because she was being very very bad and she hurt me so bad she ended up hitting me and hurting me. Now she tells me you can't make me do anything that I don't want to.
Is death predestined? This is hard to prove with Bible verses, but my personal belief is sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. This is a fallen world and we are all immortal and are cursed to die, thanks to Adam and Eve disobeying God and committing the original sin. Satan may also have power to afflict us physically. Job 2:7.
So, we will all die, but we don't know the timing. We tend to get really upset and blame God for His timing being different than our arbitrary expectations. A beautiful child can even be in paradise, but we will sometimes be furious against God for having him there instead of in an environment on earth full of temptation and evil.
God's priorities are not our priorities on earth. He never promised we'd have a long life and be healthy and wealthy. We might hear man say that on TV, but that doesn't mean it's true. We also get frustrated we don't know why and keep asking why, why, why repeatedly through life in every hardship we have. Even Jesus as a human cried out 'why' to His Father: Matt 27:46. Even Jesus as a temporary man on earth wasn't allowed all the answers, and He went through extreme hardship. And He took it like a man. Didn't complain, but asked why. He kept His love, turned the other cheek, and had great compassion on others. If Jesus Himself wasn't given the answers, why should we expect to? It even suggests this in the Bible that we won't be given all knowledge here. 1 Corinthians 2:7, Job 11:7, Colossians 2:1-3
I believe life here on earth is a test. God is testing our character and who we will follow. Often we fail badly. We have a sinful nature we must fight against. Some of the most rock solid Christians have admitted their constant struggles with it too, like Paul in the Bible. 2 Corinthians 12:9, James 1:2
So, why bother praying? God/Jesus is the only hope we have. We aren't puppets playing a script, but have freewill. God sometimes answers prayer and can change His mind.
Keep Coming By Here So We Can Pray With You - In Reply on Psalms 27 - 3 years ago
First, I will commit to add you to my prayers.
Second, I don't know if your husband is still alive, but what are his feelings about this? Stress is bad for everyone.
You've stepped in here to cushion the shock and aftershocks; which is commendable. Instinct makes us want to insulate everybody like a human bomb shelter.
Now, the hard part. You have 2 other daughters. You need to think about a long-range plan. Like my doc told me: stress kills. I took care of 2 elderly parents with long term illness till they died; while babysitting an infant. I watched 2 drug addict brothers die young. It is hard what you are doing.
It's so easy to suggestbut no matter the outcomes you need to involve your other daughters. They may be able to take one child into their families.
Now kids are going to try to run the show. That's what kids do. All of the adults need to be United in purpose to make this work. Husbands too.
I don't know what everybody's household situation is. I don't know if this is a solution.You need to try. If stress wins, you won't be there. Prayer is your greatest asset. Pour out your heart to God and receive His help and Wisdom.
I will be praying for this possibility to become a reality for your sake. I can't count all the cousins and friends children my parents took in temporarily, when I was growing up. We had fun.
We went to Church. Played baseball almost ever day!
Your grandchildren may need grief counseling and some churches have licensed counselors for that. Call around and see what's available. You might could use one too. Be honest. Kids act out their anger or they stop talking.
My gut says to take the cell phones away for a while. Limit hours of tv. Kids and adults use media to deaden the senses. INSIST on family dinners.
Families that eat and pray together have a greater chance of surviving tragedy. Teach life skills: laundry, cooking, cleaning. I did that with my son.
I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. We went through the same thing last year but not due to Covid. My daughter passed away at the age of 31. Leaving behind three children. My husband and I have taken and two daughters prior to her passing away we had them two years prior. I would like to ask everybody who is willing to pray for them to please do so. Fairy very hard life prior to coming with us. I've been with us almost 3 full years now. And we go through challenges every day girls with the girls. Only do they need your prayers I also need your prayers. I raise three daughters and I have never been face what I'm being faced with now. There are days that I just want to give up. I have become so much closer with God in the last year. I know how this mother feels do you still want to God and ask him why couldn't she be saved, so myself and her children didn't have to go through this. But I won't question him because I know everything happens for a reason. And God has a plan for everyone of us. I'm just feeling so weak from a hard time with the kids give me in the week if they treat me from the heart and the kids keep me in the way that they treat me. So my brothers and sisters in Christ please pray for me! Thank you all so very much, I pray you for Gods will for each of you.
Oh Debra I am so sorry for your families loss . When we pray to God we are doing good to ourselves , our hearts are communicating with our Heavenly Father , prayer isn't just about the words , it's about connecting on a spiritual level with our God . The Creator and Sustainer of all life . If you could pick up the phone and talk to Him you would wouldn't you ? That's what prayer is , when you open your heart in prayer you get the most awesome comfort and strength to bear the trials of this life . He hears and He helps , maybe not in the way you hoped for or wanted but I promise you if your heart is really open to Him you will know for sure that He is our strength , He sustains us , He will help .
Hello Debra. Your questions are the very ones that have troubled folk over the ages. There can be no easy or comforting answers to give, but that all things, even our lives, are in the Hands of the One Who made us. Yes, we can go through our lives on Earth never bothering to talk to our Heavenly Father or feeling resigned, thinking, "why bother, He never listens or won't do what we ask, He just does His Own Will". But that would be a misunderstanding about the Mind & Ways of God & our relationship to Him.
Even as a child comes to his earthly Father for requests, his Father has it in is his power to give or refuse, for his own reasons. The child may even know that the thing requested is not in his Father's desire to give him, but he might still ask, hoping. The Lord Jesus, in His Humanity & in the moments leading up to His crucifixion, prayed to the Father, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt" ( Matthew 26:39). Didn't Jesus know His Father's Will & Plan for Him & for the salvation of those who would believe? Jesus certainly did, yet He prayed, 'if it were at all possible, spare Me this agony'. Could Jesus really have expected His Father to say, "Yes, My Son, I will try another course of action?" Jesus knew His Father's Will & his suffering & death were inescapable, yet we see the Human side of Jesus' cry.
And that is how we pray to our Heavenly Father - as a yearning, maybe desperate child of God, seeking help, healing or restoration. Sometimes the answer comes in our favour - sometimes not. Is it then worth praying? Yes, we must, because we come to our Father. And we must be prepared to accept His Will, even not knowing the reasons. Many Christians have lost their lives from Covid, including a very godly Uncle of mine. Yes, death is inevitable, but our hearts must continue to look to & wait upon our Heavenly Father, without reserve or anger.
May you both know the comfort of God's Holy Spirit.
My nephew recently died from COVID in spite of literally thousands of prayers for God to spare his life. If death is predestined then why do we pray at all? He already knows the desires of our hearts so why bother? This is the question of his grieving mother.
I'm into the great debt which is causing me to be irrelevant in the society. I need a miracles to happen in my life. While I believe I want you to pray for me not to end my life because of these. Cause I'm choking
I am going through a devoice l use to be a world le person to but l been saved a long time but the grace of God he is my strength l pray that he will give you peace in the midst of the storm
I needed this tonight- I'm going through the same thing- my Narcissist just walked out on me- after 8 years-he walked away from our Father, 20 years ago, God has removed him from my life, for all the right reasons. Thy Will, not My Will-Praise Jesus!
Trust The Lord with All of Your Heart. - In Reply on Psalms 27 - 3 years ago
If your state recognizes "Common Law Marriage", you may have to file for legal separation.
If you are ready to do that, there is no scripture forbidding it. You can read the story in the Gospels of Jesus speaking to the Samaritan woman at the Well. John Chapter 4
You need to get your life straight with God. If you are going to stay with this man, then be married in the sight of God. Our lives need to be acceptable to God, and pleasing.
Narcissism is a mental illness. He's not going to change. He needs counseling. Becoming a Christian is his only hope. There's a Link for that out on the Red Page where you entered this room. You should go there to pray and seek the Lords leading for you.
This is my best advise. I do not know what is in your heart. But, God does. Talk to Him.
Hi I never really get on line to talk to no one . But in this case I need some prayers because I'm involved in a30 year relationship with a Man who Never saw That I was loyal too Him I use To be a world woman but I changed my Life I'm a Christian And I found out That I'm Dealing with NARCISSISTIC WOW THIS IS INSANE
The Lord is good at all times and have demonstrated His greatness in my life. He has shown me that for every believer there is a place to belive, trust and work with absolute faith to bring about delivery of what you desire to fir your destiny. His word never fails, is sure and potent across all generations.
Psalms 27:4-9. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
And even though he had personal sin in his life he never caused Israel to sin.
1 Kings 15:5. Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
His weaknesses was the same as ours,, he was only a Man. Only Jesus was perfect.
King David in the Bible went through this as well, and he understood that GOD would take care of him after this time of despair and mourning.
Psalms 27:10
"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up."
King James Version (KJV)

Please remember what Jesus promised us:
Matthew 5:3-4
Blessed are those who are poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourns for they will be comforted.
We will pray for your family.

Are you saved ? Have you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for your salvation ?
If so here is another bible verse:
Psalms 27:14
"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."
The Lord will help you just BELIEVE on him and wait for him !
I pray for you my friend !
