Kaitlin Please pray for my job. I have great anxiety about getting fired for a mistake that I made last month. Im a bank teller, and a man came in with a Social Security check made out to him for his wife, and asked for the balance. I gave him the balance because I thought that if the government was giving him $800 for someone else, then I could probably give him the balance. It turns out that Im not supposed to do that, so I have great fear that he is going to come in again this week for Social Security checks and expect the same treatment, and I could get fired for my actions last month. I am very VERY anxious about this. Please pray that all will go smoothly.

Chase I am asking for prayer for a young gentlemen named Haas aka Severial. I recently moved to Watford City, ND for work and he is a kitchen employee in the one of the gas stations I consult for. His mother essentially abandoned him out here to find work since it is oil country and jobs are easy to find. This is despite him being mentally slow and havening never met his father. Since Ive been her he has been dealing with a very serious infection on his lower leg which recently took a turn for the worse. Apparently he had been going to the doctor when the pain got bad but they only prescribed him antibiotics and took no further action. Safe to say the medical care is sub par in these parts and they will be held accountable for mal practice if need be. Regardless...on his two quarter size holes in his leg started bleeding two days ago and he nearly bled to death. Currently he is in the hospital awaiting diagnosis and a potential transfer to a better equipped location. Just to give a visual, from about the knee down, his leg is black and blue with two large sores that are continually inflamed. I am very worried that he will lose his leg and potentially his life. My prayer is for complete healing of his leg, rebuking in the name of Jesus of the infection, and the best care possible. Let me add that this is one the nicest individuals a person could ever meet...he extremely kind hearted and in need of loving prayers.

Mo My daughter Tawny, and granddaughter Presley, have allowed a roommate to move in who has turned out to be a truly terrible tenant who has not paid her financial obligations, is harassing the neighbors, causing damages in the house, and is tormenting my daughter emotionally. We have given her an eviction notice, but she is so mentally unstable, we dont know what shes capable of doing or if shell even make plans to leave (wed like her to leave by January 31st, if not sooner!). I would so appreciate your prayers, for the safety of my daughter and my granddaughter, and that the Lord remove this woman from our home quickly. Please help me pray - I know itll take the Lords intervention, because this woman (Catherine) is so disturbed, she seems beyond human reasoning. Thank you so very much.

Levi Hey all! Just asking for some prayer. Im in a hard spot in life right now. i have been trying to save money and ready myself to marry my amazing (and very anxious) girlfriend of two years. 3 weeks ago, i got unemployed, im trying to find work, but just doesnt seem to be much out there, and im having a hard time hearing God on what he wants me to do. things have just been overwhelming, there are alot of mountains i have to cross this season (including a potential health issue and some other very personal things). The enemy has been planting fears, anxiety, and discouragement in my path through all of this. i dont even know what to do or really where to start. i feel like im on a time limit and if it runs out, im going to lose everything. i love my girlfriend very much, please pray for her, pray she can be of good courage through this, be extremely patient, have some trust in me, but above all trust Jesus with this situation. She is my best friend and i cant bear the idea of losing her. Pray our relationship is made stronger through this season, and we grow together more than ever, in trust, in love, and in God. This is a hard situation, it may seem not too bad, i cant share the all the details, but it is so hard on me and im just very worn. pray for my faith, and trust in the Lord. pray i dont get lazy and work hard for this desire, but i also dont get ahead of myself and run in front of him. i need peace, wisdom, and Godly motivation. Thank you guys so much.

I pray a spirit of unity for this couple Lord, that they use these trials to seek your face more God, that they pray, soak, and fats together God. I speak to any anxiousness Lord, and any lies of the enemy and I break them off in the name of Jesus. I speak your perfect peace, wholeness, and healing upon Levi Lord...in Jesus name.

jessica I have been working at a dental office for 6 years. Last month the Dr sold the practice to a new Dr who said he wasnt going to be changing anything. The last two weeks he has been extremely rude to me while he is very nice to the other girls that work in the office (even went so far as to friend request them on facebook). Well i went into work yesterday and he fired me. Said he doesnt need two assistants but he hired another girl to do other stuff in the office (dont know why i couldnt do it). Anyways two weeks ago i informed him that Im pregnant and thats when he started treating me poorly. After he told me I was fired he tried to bribe me with $1700 to sign a paper stating that I quit. I didnt sign it cause its not true. Well now Im out of a job and have no idea how my bills are going to get paid. It is going to be very hard to find a job being that I am pregnant because no one wants to hire if youre just going to go on maternity leave in 7 months. Thank you for reading this and for your prayers.Jessica

He made a mistake a few years back and he regrets it so much, but through all of it hes become closer to God and even got baptized last spring. He reported himself the year he made his mistake and sometimes wondered why he ever did, but he knows its what God wanted him to do. Hes got such a good heart. Hes got a lot going for him and I just ask for prayer that his time in jail doesnt change who he is in God. I pray that something good comes out of this for him and for strength amongst him and those who care deeply about him to make it through this troubling time.

Hello everyone! Id like to pray for all the young men here who are struggling with pornography. I pray for their strength to stay away from this temptation, and that they would strive to stay sexually pure for their future wives.

I ask that you may pray with me, and strengthen my prayer:Lord, I know there are times where Ive disappointed You. I know to choose to repent, pray, and get it dealt with right away instead of dwelling on my mistakes letting my sin grab hold. Even though Ive disappointed You and itd be easier to let Your disappointment drive me away from You, I know that You are the only One that can purge me of my sin and drive me closer to You, and that You are willing because You love me. "For we all stumble in many things, for if anyone does not stumble, he is a perfect man. . " (James 3:2) But Father I know that its one thing for me to stumble, and yet another thing to cause someone else to stumble; itd be better for a brick to be hung around my neck and for me to be thrown into the sea than to make another stumble. So Father, I pray that I may not be a stumbling block to ANYONE who is a brother or sister in Christ; that Im not one to cause another to struggle. Amen. 12 Commented |

My mother and 3 younger siblings that live in California have been struggling financially for a long time now and my young sister Allie (14) has been exposed to drugs and sexual threats in her current area. My two brother Gabe(12) and Isaiah(10) have also had horrible things happen to them there. My mother has recently found a house she can afford so I just ask for prayer that everything goes smoothly and that Gods will is done in their lives. Thank you all so much and God bless O.0 Oh my gosh I cant even tell you how much I am praising the Lord right now!!!!!!!! Thank you for praying, we still need prayer, but AHH!! GUESS WHAT?!??!! My Grandmother, who started off with a flu and then got the worst case pneumonia you can get (I mean, the kind that young people die from, and shes 90) and the doctors said she probably wasnt going to survive, is DOING BETTER!!
They had given her the antibiotics, and usually what happens in this situation is the patient will get better but then right afterwards plummet and do really bad. Thats what they figured was going to happen with my Grandmom. So anyway, well first... the first night she was in the hospital and they said she probably isnt going to live, I was praying to God not only for her healing and salvation (and she might be saved by the way, I really dunno yet) and other stuff, but also that she would have a restful night sleep. Well the next day we heard that that particular night she had a wonderful rest. I was like THANK YOU GOD!!!
The second night I was still praying but I was crying all night cause everyone was so gloomy about her situation we all sort of expected her to die unless there was a miracle, everyone has been planning out the funeral arrangements. Well my dad calls this morning with a little ray of light, he was like, theyre sending her home because shes actually doing better!!!!!!!!!! Shes actually coughing up the junk in her which they said was a good thing. They sent her home with antibiotics. So what is going to happen now is, either shes going to recover and live, or if she gets worst, shell go back into the hospital and I dont know what will happen after that.
I just want to say what Ive learned through all this, so that you may learn and benefit too! One, I still dont know if my grandmother is going to survive this, Im just so thankful shes doing better right now in this particular moment. I was praying the pneumonia just get out of her, and to hear about her now coughing the stuff up am like ha!! :D :D :D But I just wanted to say that through this whole thing that has happened so far.... One I learned more than I knew before how I have no control over anything. I am but Gods creation in Gods plan living my life God has ordained and whatever happens with my grandmother is also in Gods hands. Two, I learned that praying repeated prayers, at least with the mentality of "if I pray this one prayer constantly God might hear" is pointless, and totally misses the point of prayer. I knew that before, but through this whole thing, Ive noticed it better then I knew before. God never said repeat your prayers to me so that I may be persuaded by them. No, He said praying all sorts of prayers all the time. I have never prayed so much in my life, I mean, seriously, and Im not boasting, this is just something Ive never done before that God has been teaching me stuff through.. UH GOD IS JUST AMAZING!! But I was praying periodically throughout the day and at night and it was so neat to learn that God has heard my first prayer, my second, my third, none of my prayers need repeating, I can pray all sorts of prayers. Sometimes I felt like, how do I pray in this, what do I say Lord? But it all just kinda came together. Third thing I learned was how Jesus prayed. I felt weird asking for God to take the pneumonia away sometimes cause I was like, well, if its not Gods will that she live then why I am I praying for it to go away, what should I be praying for, etc. etc. And then I remembered Jesus, and He prayed, before being crucified, that this cup be lifted from Him but not His will the Fathers will. Jesus actually prayed the cup be lifted from Him, just as I CAN pray for my grandmothers pneumonia to go away. And I was like, I know Jesus already knew what was going to happen and why, but I dont know what is going to happen with my grandmother, but I realized that I can pray for things, like my Grandmothers pneumonia to go away, but I must give it to God. Not that it was EVER mine to control, however, my trust in Him is all I have to give. So either I dont trust Him, or I do. So, despite being totally distraught and crying my head off cause I didnt want to see my grandmother hurt or die or anything (she still might die, I know) but I was like, after all my prayers, "Not my will, but Yours" and it was frustrating in a way because I was like, I just dont get it. I dont know what is happening I cant see what God sees this is so frustrating!!! But God has been teaching me more and more about His sovereignty (what number are we on? Four? Three? lol Lost count) and what that looks like, and its like I am but MATTER, a mere Creation, there is NOTHING about me or for me, except to fall down and praise God. Think about that for a moment. On the flip side of this, I may be mere matter, but God made this mere matter and has called it special. To a mere human like myself, that seems incredible that a God who created me should love me. But look at it from Gods perspective! Of COURSE He loves what He has made. I will never fully understand Gods love for me or how He works with His children, all I know is that in this present situation, at this very moment of this situation, all I can do is trust God, praise God, pray all sorts of prayers and honestly tell Him not my will but Yours Lord. Though I never had, or owned, the situation..though the situation was never in my hands to begin with, I never ever had it, I was never ever in the position to give supposedly my power over the situation to God to let God deal with it, because I never had such power to begin withNo, Ive come to realize that giving things up to God is not giving up something, its doing the thing that only we can do, realizing and acknowledging God as what He is, the Sovereign Lord who is the Only One who has EVER been in control of anything and everything! I may question many things, and I shouldnt really because I should just trust, but its so easy to forget in our little earthly lives, and especially since weve never seen God face to face, its so easy to forget, what Sovereign means. In fact, there is nothing else to compare, so we have no earthly example of what Sovereign means, so its hard for us to even grasp it. To learn it, however, is what God will teach us. And i think God has been teaching me that during this whole thing, and I just wanted to share that with you!
Anyway, thank you for praying, all sorts of prayers, to our God, for my Grandmother. Even though my grandmother seems to be getting better now, and that is rather tempting to make me want to pray like, "GOD!!! FINISH THE JOB HEAL HER COMPLETELY!!!" Im not, Im going to continue to pray the way I have been, to give up "my will" for the only will ever in existence, Gods will. God does hear prayers and He answers them all, according to His Sovereign plan, because He does only good! My grandmother still needs prayer, shes not fully recovered, I still dont know about her salvation, I dunno WHAT is going to happen but I CAN pray for what is going on WITH acknowledging not our will (again, not that our will ever had control over anything) but Gods will. His good, pleasing and perfect will. And by the way, my none stop prayers which I had mentioned before, Ive never really prayed this much before, wasnt because I wanted something so bad, I mean, I wanted a lot of things, but all these prayers really came out of me because I desperately love my grandmother and I dont want to see anything bad happen to her. And that made me think of how in 1 John 4, verse 20, it says how those who dont love those whom they HAVE seen, could not love God, who they have NOT seen. And also in verse 10, how God sent His Son for us because He loved us. All of this made me think of how, the love I have for my grandmother, and I mean, I was SO sad about this by the way, she literally is the most special person in my life, EVER, I cant even tell you. I mean, I love everyone in my life, and I never have favorites but I wont deny, she is something VERY special to me more than others, for some reason. Hate saying I have favorites and I wouldnt say I do, I love everyone in my life, but again, she is just really special to me. But I remember feeling horrible about not knowing if she is saved or not, I actually was like, man, if I had some kind of control over this (again, "my will" never was, its always "Gods will") but I thought, if I did have some kind of control over it, if she was going to hell, Id give up my life for hers and let her go to Heaven and Id go to hell in her place. I mean, I knew I shouldnt have said that and I WASN"T telling that to God like, make it so! I know I shouldnt dabble in things like that and I wasnt by the way, thats just how I felt and I really meant it, though I wasnt saying "make it so" because I knew thats not how things work and I should not dabble in that..again, thats just how I felt. Anyway, that made me think about, my love for my grandmother, is like the love God has for His Son, and for us.. God sent His Son, for us. I will never fully grasp the depth of that love, but like in 1 John, I realized, how can I understand the love I have for God if I didnt know what it was like to love those whom Ive seen, like my grandmother, and I have never seen God, yet I love Him. No, I dont need people to see to know what love means. But I will tell you, it does put a different perspective on it, a more "real" perspective.
ANYWAY! Enough of me rambling.. and by the way, I wasnt boasting about my prayers or anything, just so you know, I just wanted you guys to know what has happened!! I never usually tell people what "Ive done" because I dont want them to think I was trying to boast, Im a sincere person who would never say something to boast, I hate boasting. Again, I have never had any control over anything, I CAN"T boast. I just wanted to let you know what has been happening :) Also want to say that, NO, my saying Id give my life up for my Grandmas was NOT going to make God be like "oh, my holy and faithful child, I will give you whatever you want" haha. no no no please dont misunderstand!! That merely showed me what love meant, more than I had realized before :) Thats all that ever was, just so you know.
Anyway :) Keep praying all sorts of prayers all the time, in HIS WIll, give up what control you thought you had that you never had, because you never had it, but acknowledge His Sovereignty.. not so your prayers may be answered in the way you like, but so that you may see what a prayer truly means and see what good God is doing, because in all things, God is good and does good He can only do good! It hurts me to see my grandmother might die, and if she died, I might be like, this wasnt good! But know that I understand to some degree what it means to say God is Sovereign now, and I hope that if you dont understand that to some degree, God will show you, because knowing even to a small degree what that really means, one can only praise Himyou realize when you learn what it means to say God is Sovereign, that that is the position God has been trying to get us into because that is the position we are suppose to be in BECAUSE that is the only position we are in or could ever be in. Any control we assume we have is our own deception. The keyword here is good. Gods Sovereignty is GOOD. I use to sometimes feel like, God, not all of this is good, how can I revere your Sovereignty? How can I acknowledge it properly, when I dont understand? But I have learned that, indeed, Gods Sovereignty is not just some all powerful control. It is all powerful control that is GOOD. What I mean is, we dont have a bad God. We, thankfully, have a GOOD GOD!! So if you cant see the future, fear not! Pray all sorts of prayers, acknowledging Gods will, because there is nothing but that that we can do. Everything is in His hands, and God can only do good! Do you even realize what blessing it is to have a GOOD GOD!!! (Just imagine what it would be like to have a cruel God who enjoyed making the worst for His creation, imagine us as Gods toys..lol) GOD IS GOOD! "Praise the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His might heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with timbrel and dancing, praise Him with the strings and pipe, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD"!!! (Psalm 150).

O.0 Oh my gosh I cant even tell you how much I am praising the Lord right now!!!!!!!! Thank you for praying, we still need prayer, but AHH!! GUESS WHAT?!??!! My Grandmother, who started off with a flu and then got the worst case pneumonia you can get (I mean, the kind that young people die from, and shes 90) and the doctors said she probably wasnt going to survive, is DOING BETTER!!
They had given her the antibiotics, and usually what happens in this situation is the patient will get better but then right afterwards plummet and do really bad. Thats what they figured was going to happen with my Grandmom. So anyway, well first... the first night she was in the hospital and they said she probably isnt going to live, I was praying to God not only for her healing and salvation (and she might be saved by the way, I really dunno yet) and other stuff, but also that she would have a restful night sleep. Well the next day we heard that that particular night she had a wonderful rest. I was like THANK YOU GOD!!!
The second night I was still praying but I was crying all night cause everyone was so gloomy about her situation we all sort of expected her to die unless there was a miracle, everyone has been planning out the funeral arrangements. Well my dad calls this morning with a little ray of light, he was like, theyre sending her home because shes actually doing better!!!!!!!!!! Shes actually coughing up the junk in her which they said was a good thing. They sent her home with antibiotics. So what is going to happen now is, either shes going to recover and live, or if she gets worst, shell go back into the hospital and I dont know what will happen after that.
I just want to say what Ive learned through all this, so that you may learn and benefit too! One, I still dont know if my grandmother is going to survive this, Im just so thankful shes doing better right now in this particular moment. I was praying the pneumonia just get out of her, and to hear about her now coughing the stuff up am like ha!! :D :D :D But I just wanted to say that through this whole thing that has happened so far.... One I learned more than I knew before how I have no control over anything. I am but Gods creation in Gods plan living my life God has ordained and whatever happens with my grandmother is also in Gods hands. Two, I learned that praying repeated prayers, at least with the mentality of "if I pray this one prayer constantly God might hear" is pointless, and totally misses the point of prayer. I knew that before, but through this whole thing, Ive noticed it better then I knew before. God never said repeat your prayers to me so that I may be persuaded by them. No, He said praying all sorts of prayers all the time. I have never prayed so much in my life, I mean, seriously, and Im not boasting, this is just something Ive never done before that God has been teaching me stuff through.. UH GOD IS JUST AMAZING!! But I was praying periodically throughout the day and at night and it was so neat to learn that God has heard my first prayer, my second, my third, none of my prayers need repeating, I can pray all sorts of prayers. Sometimes I felt like, how do I pray in this, what do I say Lord? But it all just kinda came together. Third thing I learned was how Jesus prayed. I felt weird asking for God to take the pneumonia away sometimes cause I was like, well, if its not Gods will that she live then why I am I praying for it to go away, what should I be praying for, etc. etc. And then I remembered Jesus, and He prayed, before being crucified, that this cup be lifted from Him but not His will the Fathers will.

But know that I understand to some degree what it means to say God is Sovereign now, and I hope that if you dont understand that to some degree, God will show you, because knowing even to a small degree what that really means, one can only praise Himyou realize when you learn what it means to say God is Sovereign, that that is the position God has been trying to get us into because that is the position we are suppose to be in BECAUSE that is the only position we are in or could ever be in. Any control we assume we have is our own deception. The keyword here is good. Gods Sovereignty is GOOD. I use to sometimes feel like, God, not all of this is good, how can I revere your Sovereignty? How can I acknowledge it properly, when I dont understand? But I have learned that, indeed, Gods Sovereignty is not just some all powerful control. It is all powerful control that is GOOD. What I mean is, we dont have a bad God. We, thankfully, have a GOOD GOD!! So if you cant see the future, fear not! Pray all sorts of prayers, acknowledging Gods will, because there is nothing but that that we can do. Everything is in His hands, and God can only do good! Do you even realize what blessing it is to have a GOOD GOD!!! (Just imagine what it would be like to have a cruel God who enjoyed making the worst for His creation, imagine us as Gods toys..lol) GOD IS GOOD! "Praise the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His might heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with timbrel and dancing, praise Him with the strings and pipe, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD"!!! (Psalm 150).

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
Well, we just got some further news about my Grandmother (Ive been posting about her already). Please pray for her, she is in the hospital with the worst case pneumonia you can get they said and they dont think she is going to live... I dont know if she is saved. Please pray for her and us, I am so distraught. She is so special to me. If I only knew she was saved itd make her passing easier but nonetheless I dont want her to go. Please pray I get to talk with her one last time. Or else her healing. But especially her salvation if she is not saved. If I could talk with her one last time if she is going to die, I would ask her if she wants to receive God into her life if she hasnt already. Thanks. jessica Well today is day #8 of my husbands sobriety. As usual things are going pretty well. We have committed to praying together in the morning before i leave for work and at night before we go to bed. Weve also been talking alot more. Things always go great in the begining though. My fear is what might happen as day 90 gets closer. Weve also been watching teachings br Joyce Meyer which seen to be opening his eyes quite a bit to what is going on in his life and changes he needs to make. I thank you so much for your continued prayer for us. I will keep you updated =) God Bless!

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
Hi,My husband is an alcoholic. He is in recovery but only makes it to about 90 days before he relapses again. Each time he relapses he doesnt come home at night wont answer his phone or return my text messages be cause he is ashamed of what he is doing. A few times he has ended up in jail for drunk driving. He says the guilt he feels cause of what he knows its doing to our family is what keeps him aways from it for 90 days but then the urges start coming and he feels the only way to make them go away is to give in and get drunk. I am to the point where i dread when that day draws near cause i know how much pain is coming. I believe he is sincere when he says he doesnt want to do it, but i dont know how to help him get past days 90. he has been drinking since he was about 10 yrs old so its been a really long time. Hes never really had anyone in his life who encouraged a relationship with Christ until meeting me and my family. He has given his life over to Christ and mostly follows his ways but then gets into a funk and starts reverting back to the old him and thats when he gives in to the temptation to drink. Im afraid if this keeps happening one day he may take a life id he gets behind the wheel. Also i worry about the example he is setting for our 4 children. If you wouldnt mind praying for his recovery i would greatly appreciate that. Thank you so much for your time in reading this. God Bless 6 Commented |
Courtney ...its taking me some time to try and figure out what to say about this one.. Because Ive seen what alcoholics do, and they have scarred me most of my life with my sisters.. I hope to GOD that this will pass and that none of this affects any of you in the long run. Esp. your children because Ive seen what it could do. This prayer bothers me because I know its hurting your whole family.. Your husband is deeply burdened by this horrible addiction.. And I pray to God that with his wonderful family, he can make this through and see what kind of person he can be without the drinking... You and your family are in my every thought and prayers. Take care hunn and keep us updated, and if you have anymore troubles, just post a prayer request and we will be here for you. May God Bless hunn.

Please pray for one of my aunts. She has been in multiple relationships, but they always end up broken. She just got into another relationship. She was raised in a Christian home, so she knows the truth. But she wont submit herself to the Lord and surrender her life to Him. Pray that she would answer Gods call to come home, and that she would be healed from the hurts in her life. shelbster92 Ive been prayin for a while over what to do about this relationship. I had alot of support and advice on what to do. After a few months i have learned that i really wasnt happy with him because i dont agree with his lifestyle and he only wants one thing. After him wantin me back for a while i decided to end it for good. Lookin at how my friends bf treats her, as in he treats her like a queen, i realized that i was missin out on what its supposed to be like to feel special. my ex never did anything for me, and only told half truths and i got tired of it. i now know what NOT to go for and how i should be treated.

I just got out of a rough relationship. Never really had a bf before till recently and it turns out all he wanted was sex. He didnt get it, so he broke up with me because he said he felt like he was goin to cheat on me. I lost him as a friend too because he wanted to just use me as a backup. We dont talk anymore. I hope and pray I can get over this and hope to find a real man. 11 Commented |

Rachel Spoon Hi Rachel,
Im sure your decision was hard but I think youve done the right thing. Im glad that you have the respect for your parents to listen to their concern for you. Youre blessed to have Christian parents who care for you. God may still lead your friend to Christ. Just remember that God does things according to His time and His time is always best. You may have planted the seed that the Holy Spirit will cause to grow. So please dont feel like you wish you did more. As you have put your trust in the Lord He will bring you and that perfect husband to be together. Just be patient as He knows what, and who, is best for you.
God Bless

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
Hello all. If youre an active prayer board member, you probably know that I have posted prayer requests here concerning my boyfriends faith. Hes been growing in his faith so much, and through conversations we have, I can tell God is really in him. He admitted to walking away from Christ, but says that my encouragement and prayer helped him realize what was happening, and turn back to God. My parents still believe he can never make any changes with his faith. They think hell grow to only be a Christian by name, but never by action. Therefore, they still disapprove of our relationship. We never see each other anymore, because they dont like me seeing him much. They think hes a great guy, and they know he treats me well, but theyre afraid his previous lack of faith will end up hurting me in the long run. Hes growing, but they arent giving him a chance to see it. He plans on speaking privately with my dad, and hes very nervous about it. Hes unsure what exactly to say or when he should speak with him, but hes determined to do it. Please pray that God will give him the courage to do it, that the words will come to his mind, that our relationship can glorify God, and that we can grow together in Christs name. Oh, and that we will be able to meet on Valentines Day to take the Purity Pledge together. Its always been a dream of mine to take my pledge on Valentines Day with him. Thanks for everything! God Bless.
