**Prayer Updates** 
Dear Lord,
TY for all you have done for us. TY that I found out about A + M no longer believing, so I can pray appropriately.
May A not consider my prayers in a negative light. It's not that I don't want her to be who she is; I will always love her no matter what. My concern is not only are they missing out on the blessings that come from having a close, personal relationship with our Creator, but I am terrified of what awaits them in the eternal state if they remain in unbelief. People get caught up in thinking certain things are unfair + then blame God for allowing it, or at least hold it against Him. I'm not sure exactly if she actually believes there's a God at all, or just a higher power. Part of me wants to know + part of me doesn't want to know how deep the unbelief goes.
At any rate, you're in the business of miracles, + you know exactly what's going on. As you pursue them, please keep them surrounded by godly people who will reinforce biblical truths; help them to see your handiwork in creation + in their lives; remind them often of what cannot be explained by chance or evolution; expose the works of darkness for what they are; keep them away from dangerous, ungodly people; protect them from deceiving + being deceived; protect them from accidents, esp. disabling ones; from false teachings + false prophets; for accepting what the world declares as true + right, when the world loves breaking your laws; protect their hearts, souls, spirits, minds, bodies; keep them healthy in every way; protect their home, property + finances; shield their reputations, identities, credit, etc.
Protect my relationship with them so the lines of communication remain open + healthy. Help me to witness in a way that does not drive them away. I think I have to be cautious + not speak of you in a way that makes them defensive-as though I expect them to change. Give me wisdom on how to speak to them, + help me to always act righteously + in love.
May their souls be restored in full. In your holy name, amen.
