    Father God I ask for protection from witchcraft. I ask for protection over me and all of my family members I pray for daily and often. I ask that You help me in my prayer life as my prayers are being hindered. I ask for increase in finances. I ask for protection from things hindering my breakthroughs. I ask for guidance, wisdom, and understanding on which women I should date and not date. I ask for understanding on when to move forward with a women I wish to date or when to step back from that women. I ask for all of these things in Lord Jesus Christ Name, amen.

    I have no wisdom to give but that which scripture states:

    "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path. Be not wise in your own eyes. Depart from evil". (This is from my own memory, as I don't fully understand how to use "Reply" yet). Albeit, it seems you are struggling to 'do the will of God' and are having difficulty just 'resting in the Lord'. The Bible teaches us to 'rest', but it is difficult to rest when you are 'troubled about many things'. Like Martha (who wanted to 'serve the Lord' and couldn't understand why Jesus didn't tell her sister Mary who was sitting at Jesus' feet, listening to His Words, to come and help her 'serve') you are focusing so much on doing it 'right' that you aren't able to rest and 'let the Lord lead you'. Jesus told Martha, "Mary has chosen the good part which shall not be taken from her." The Bible always reinforces 'resting in the Lord,' 'wait on the Lord and He shall direct your path'. Martha thought Mary was just being lazy, but Mary was actually 'waiting on Jesus' by listening to His teachings. Personally, I believe Martha missed out on a surprize blessing from the Lord by scurrying around trying to cover all the bases. Jesus had fed 5,000 with a few fish and a couple of loaves of bread! Don't you think He could have fed ALL those in Martha's house if she had just rested and 'let Jesus take the helm of her boat?' Our own efforts and works often lead us astray and block both physical and spiritual blessings that God wants to shower us with. Psalm 91 gives the answers to ALL our efforts "The Lord is my Shepherd, I SHALL NOT WANT* (*my emphasis). He makes me to lie down (rest) in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (a dark, scary place), I will fear no evil for THOU ART WITH ME*. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me"

    ..REST/TRUST
