All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Why ask
I would really want someone to explain to me why does it say in the bible "Ask and you shall recieve seek and you shall find knock and it shall be opened..." I have been told that the Lord knows just what we need and when we need it and that he asks of us to ask form our heart and for he knows our heart better then we do. Then why is it that the more you want to be patient and wait for the Lord to answer your prayers the more alone you feel and the more you feel as if there is no point in asking and seeking if for what you seek and are asking for never is granted to you. What must one do to find that what we seek why must there be so much suffering before you can finaly find peace. It seems as if no matter how much I try to live as the Lord says the more the enemy puts things in my path that make me doubt the Lords promis. I just do not know any more can some one please tel me why is it so hard to live the life the Lord wants me to.

Maritza, anger is something that must be ventilated. I'm sorry that you're in so much pain. The theme I keep seeing in everything you say is that you are accepting responsibility for the bad choices that he is making.
" I know that God loves me and my children but why do they have to suffer for whatever it is that I have failed to do. Why must my children have to pay for my sins ... "
He is the one who kept the money from his children, not you.
He is the one who chose to have a relationship with another woman, not you.
He is the one not providing for his children, not you.
You, on the other hand, are making positive choices and taking caring of your children. You have a job, plus you're in school working for a better future for all of you.
Don't blame yourself for his bad choices.
Shift your focus away from him and what he is doing.
You can't change him. Pray for him. Forgive him. Realize he is untrustworthy.
It's good for you to vent what is upsetting you in a way that will bring relief. What you've written is fine and actually very healthy. :)

I am very scared I just found that my ex-husband indeed committed froud in our taxes he calimed a business expenses loss just so that our income would be less than what our income was last year. I know that I should report it but I found out form the IRS that if froud was committed that they will not only go after him but sense my name is on the return that they will seek restitution form me too. I just do not know to do I do not have any money to pay a lawyer to help me out and the last thing I need is to owe any money to the government. I just do not know what to do I am mad, sad, scared and worried. If he lied on this returned who knows how many other retunes he has lied about in the past. I had always trusted him to handle all of the financial matters and the he knew what he was doing that I had never questioned anything nor asked to look at our returns. Aaaaggh!?!what a fool I had been.

Maritza don't stress on this. As you divorced and didn't know and your income was on there and this can be shown to be HIS business dealing, you can file innocent or injured spouse and not be held accountable.

Thanks I will try not to stress too much about it, I will call the help center near my home to see if I can get someone to look over what he has done. Sense I am in school I do not want this to mess with my school financial aid. As every one has been telling me I must stay strong and leave this all in God's hands. But it is just so hard when each time I think I am ready to move on something new pops up about this man that I did not know of him. :(

Sorry, I was trying to post that from my cell this weekend. Now that I'm back at a PC....
I had a similar issue. My ex failed to report his business income. I had my own full-time job and all of my income was reported. We divorced the year after and I didn't find out until 2 years later. I was able to file innocent spouse and my obligation was removed.

Innocent Spouse Relief § 6015(b)
To receive "innocent spouse relief" the taxpayer must:
- File a joint return that had an "understatement" (not merely an underpayment) of tax due to "erroneous items" ofone of the spouses.
- Establish that at the time he signed the joint return he did not know, and had no reason to know, that there was an understatement of tax;
- Prove that taking into account the facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold the taxpayer liable for the
understatement of tax, and - Request relief no later than two years after collection activity begins.

Why is it that whenever the sperm donor who you called your husband and father of your children gets you mad you end up blowing up at your children. Why is it that you get so mad that you end up apologizing for your words that were so hurtful, why must I allow this to happen to me. I had been having such a wonderful day and I was still smiling from the many joyful moments that I this weekend. Why did I ever allow the other 23 chromosomes to mess with my joy and happiness? My son had just told me that he would be horned this week with a few awards for outstanding achievements and service to his school I was feeling so proud of him and my little on had also told me that she too would be getting an award for her achievements. UGH!!! I am so mad at myself for allowing that man to get under my skin so much. Again just when I had started to be happy with whom I am and the type of person I am becoming I allow this to mess it up. Why God why must I be so weak and not be able to walk away from the temptations of the enemy. Why must I hurt my three treasures with my words whenever that man pushes me over the edge? Why must I be so weak? I see now why my prayers have not been answered yet I am just not ready to receive that which I am asking for I am just not worthy enough. Just when I think that I am ready for anything, just when I think that I am strong enough to face any obstacle I fail at overcoming it. Why must I be so weak , why God why can’t I ever just be happy without having to feel as if I do not deserve it and end up back feeling miserable.

Don't beat yourself up. We all do those things. My poor kids get a lot of my anger which I hate myself for later but it's life. It's going to happen again. Just apologize & they will love u regardless. They love their mama & will not hold it against you. Just continue striving for the control they need to see & the strength to do better next time around. We love you & hurt with you sister.

Thank you Tammy it is alway good comforting to know that I am not alone sometimes I just feel as if when things seem to start to make sense somethng happens that makes me question the choices that I have made. But then God sends me angels to show me that I am in the right path and thought the road may get bumpy it just means that I was going to fast and need to slow down just a little. :)
