Beloved
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Praise God! I’ve got some prayer requests for you. Some are old, some are new. Please continue praying for Patrick. This three year old was nearly downed last week. He’s getting better but could still use our prayers. Pray for his family too. Pray for Benjamin who was just sentenced to six-months in jail for hit and run. Pray for his victim too. Pray for Kristian who has been sentenced to more than three years on a rape charge. Pray for his family, his victim, and his victim’s family too. Pray for Becky. She’s sick and it sounds like the doctors don’t know why. Pray for her family too. Pray for Jonathan. This kid likes making prank calls. Ask that God touches his heart and helps him to see the error of his ways. Pray for my sister who is attempting to plan a family gathering. It’s not coming together all that well. Pray for my mom. She’s having some issues with a former boyfriend that are going to end up costing her a lot of money if he or his family doesn’t kick in to help clean up the mess he left on her property. Please pray for Howard who recently had a dinghy and truck stolen. Please pray for the folks who stole Howard’s boat and truck and cause them to return the stolen property. Please pray for Michael. It appears he’s having a breakdown. Please continue praying for Michele and Nick. They just lost their father in a motorcycle accident. Pray for the entire family. Please continue praying for me. Physically and mentally I’m falling apart. I’m having a very difficult time getting back into shape. Pray for Brandon, Carey, Corey, and John. They’re all confused, possibly using again, and definitely in need of prayer. Pray for Bob. He was experiencing some heart issues. Pray for my cousin Robert who is having to work way too much to get caught up financially because he was unable to work for quite a while due to health problems. Please pray for Tom who is just settling in to a new assisted living home. Please pray for Dreu, her daughters Liz, Beka, and Sarah, and her son, David. God knows what they are going through. Pray for me as I’m in need of a physical, spiritual, and emotional healing as well. God knows all of the details. Additionally I need help finding the right words to use when I’m dealing with folks who find it impossible to believe the Word of God. They deny the truth and instead latch on to each and every conspiracy theory the passes them by. They choose to hold fast to the traditions and beliefs of Wicca, believe and practice Astrology and Numerology, and regularly consult Psychics and Tarot cards. They regard our Heavenly Father’s Words as foolish, yet anxiously accept and “thrive†on the so-called words of wisdom of long dead philosophers, relatives, and friends through Mediums and Soothsayers, or anyone claiming to have the “gift†of Clairvoyance. These folks long for the approval and guidance of mythical deities, plus faeries, elves, gnomes, and extra-terrestrials. Yet they believe any Biblical reference to Angels, Demons, The Holy Spirit, Jesus, or God can be compared to nothing more than ancient faerie tales. They look forward to the day the great and distant Galactic Federation visits our world and with the snap of a finger all of the ills facing mankind will be instantly and permanently solved. Please pray for my community. I’ve been here for 20 years and a lot has changed. There are those here now who want to change this small town environment into a mini-metropolis. We were once considered a small drinking town with a fishing problem. Unfortunately the fishing is long gone. Now we are a small town with a huge and serious drug problem (prescription pills, heroin, meth, bath salts, etc.) and it’s drawing our kids into a life of crime and degradation. Instead of college many of our youth are spending time in a facility referred to as the Grey Bar Hotel. Not as frequent, but others end up taking the long nap (six-feet under or sleeping in the urn on the fireplace mantle). The lucky ones end up unemployable with their only concern being how they can come up with the money for their next bag of weed. Instead of recognizing the issues, instead of finding a solution to the issues our civic leaders simply deny the existence of a problem and parents live in denial believing their kids will grow out of the experimental age and walk away from the drugs. It’s very sad. Continue praying for David, his brother Gregory, and his immediate family, his acquaintances, his employees, and all of his gambling and “off the book†friends who not only believe they are above the law, but feel they have the right and the duty to ridicule and insult those of us who don’t see eye to eye with them and they way they perform a laundry list of questionable business practices and outright illegal activities. These same folks have no problem making veiled threats toward those who “disagree†with them while smiling and shaking hands and making others believe they’re just a bunch of good old boys out having a little fun. These are evil people corrupting everything they touch. They will destroy a reputation by spreading vicious lies and damaging rumors. Please ask God to cause these folks to repent and fix the damage they have intentionally done. Please ask our Heavenly Father to shut them down before someone gets hurt. Pray for our elected officials at all levels of government (federal, state, county, local; and the overseas or foreign equivalents too). Ask God to help them to make the right decisions to benefit mankind. Pray also for those who serve and protect us, also at the local, county, state, and federal levels, plus the foreign or overseas counterparts, including police officers, sheriff’s deputies, constables, marshals, sheriffs, border and customs officers, forest and park rangers, security officer, corrections officers, and parking and traffic control officers; pray also for those working as firefighters, EMTs, EMS, Paramedics, Search and Rescue, and Volunteers. Please pray for those in uniform, the ones who serve and protect us. I’m talking about the members of our armed forces like the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, Army, Reservists, and National Guard; and all of the Retirees, Veterans, and their family members; plus any and all of their overseas or foreign counterparts. Please pray for Kathleen and her children. Please ask for a special blessing for this family today as they are recovering from the loss of a loved one, her husband and their father (he had retired from the Army) to cancer. Continue praying for Farhan, his family, and his congregation up in prayer. These folks are living, worshiping, and working in a war-torn, predominantly Muslim part of the world. They face daily persecution and need our prayers. Please pray for Liz who is experiencing some financial hardship. She is also trying to raise two autistic kids. Please pray for the close friends, co-workers, and families of these folks who have passed away: Michael, Willie, Gertrude, Ivan, Jack, Wendy, Gary, Lisamarie, Robert, Paul, Corey, Edward, Misao, Cynthia, Dov, Leslie, Gary, Jeremy, Rudolf, Carlos, Otto, Mary Kate, EJ, Jesus, Richard, Mark, David, Richard, Dorothea, Tom, Gordon, Marlyn, Terry, Heather, Francis, Alfred, Danny, Betty, Alicia, Brandon, Jillian, Cathy, Anna, Dallas, Finbar, Virginia, Betty, Arthur, Henry, Michele, Mary Kate, Melba, Alberto, Charles, Samantha, Marciela, Jaiden, Timmy, Julius, Annie, Kim, Patricia, Cathryn, Jill, Greg, Barry, Jane, Gary, Alice, Aussy, Greg, Marion, Shannon, Annie, Ben, Jennifer, Jarrae, Martha, Kianna, Vipul, Alex, Matthew, Brandon, Jennifer, Alejandro, Joel, Albin, Helen, Bruce, George, Benjamin, David, Joyce, Bill, Tom, Joseph, Ruth, Marilyn, Jack, Brittany, Lahoma, Andrea, Lexandra, Lexi, Simon, Ronald, John, Ernesto, Charles, Gia, Audrey, Brett, Jaylen, Adam, Mike, Dane, Al, Andrew, Michael, Lester, Mike, Chris, Ryan, Eddie, Sam, Freedom, Ted, Rob, Jane, John, Erika, Carol, RC and Jennifer. Please continue praying for the folks living in Ukraine. I ask all of this in Jesus Name. Amen.
