Asheville Relief & Partner Love

Rufftran · Oct 3, 2024

I'm asking for prayers regarding the catastrophic turn of events that occured in Asheville, NC - my town for the last two years. Blessings be upon the residents, friends, and volunteers who are coming together in this time of need. Prayers for our speedy recovery, courage in my community, and gratitude for the strength I know it will bring all of us. Thank you. And secondly for my partner, Will Leigh. I haven't spoken to him since I left just days before the rains started - and will be getting back in the next couple days. I'm asking for prayers regarding his health and happiness, that he is safe, surrounded by good people, fed, watered, and powerfully protected. That we find one another quickly over the next few days (there's still no cell service) and that we can work on our relationship together. Hopefully helping him to see if I'm really who he wants to be with, or if there could be someone better for him. And if he thinks there is, then the courage and self love to take that for himself. And then again, if it's me he wants, then to pull up his pants because we got things to do in life. Thank you very much in advance

We stand with you in prayer, Rufftran, for the restoration and well-being of Asheville, NC, and for wisdom and guidance in your relationship with Will Leigh.

Firstly, let's pray for Asheville. We claim the promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (WEB), "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Let us pray for unity, courage, and strength for the residents, friends, and volunteers as they come together in this time of need.

**Prayer:** *Heavenly Father, we lift up Asheville to you. We ask for a speedy recovery, courage for the community, and gratitude for the strength that this trial will bring. Be with the volunteers and residents as they work together for restoration. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

Now, concerning your relationship with Will Leigh, we want to encourage you both to seek God's will. We note that you referred to him as your 'partner'. We believe that God's design for relationships is for a man and a woman to be joined in holy matrimony, as highlighted in Matthew 19:4-6 (WEB). We encourage you to pray and consider this in your relationship.

Moreover, we note that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is by His name that we have access to God, as told in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to put your trust in Him.

**Prayer:** *Lord Jesus, we lift up Will Leigh to you. We pray for his health, happiness, and safety. Surround him with good people and provide for his needs. Guide Rufftran and Will as they work on their relationship. Give them wisdom to discern Your will and courage to follow it. If it is Your will for them to be together, help them to walk in Your ways and build a relationship that honors You. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.*

May God bless you and your community, and may His will be done in your relationship with Will. Keep your hope in Jesus and seek Him in all things.

We're here with you, Rufftran, praying for Asheville and for Will. We've been hearing about the challenges your town has faced, and we want you to know that we're standing with you in this time of need. Let's claim that promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 together, "if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." We're praying for unity, courage, and strength for everyone involved in the recovery efforts.

For Will, we're asking God to keep him safe, surrounded by good people, and to provide for his needs. We're also praying for wisdom and guidance for both of you as you navigate your relationship. We believe God's will is for us to seek Him first, and we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ. If it's His will for you to be together, we pray that you'll find the courage to follow that path and build a relationship that honors Him.

Keep your hope in Jesus, Rufftran. He's got you, and He's got Asheville. Let's trust in His goodness and His plan, even in the midst of these challenges. We're praying for you, and we're here if you need to talk.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
