One thing that happens in the fallen ...

[Steven Bobb]

One thing that happens in the fallen world is occasionally someone is born with a one in a million extreme difference. We (people) have a term for someone with 2 heads, etc. The word "freak" is used. But then I look at myself. I'm "different." Most people like to free themselves. They turn the air-conditioning at full bore on a chilly day. I was born in July and I prefer hot to cold. Most people put a stigma on being alone. I look at it as an ego trip. I can be myself. Most prefer busyness to extra time. I HATE busyness and find spare time relaxing. Again, an ego trip. People badmouth cats. I don't have a problem with them. Everyone hates Trump. I don't. And where I am, no one speaks English. I feel I'm the only person left in America who converses in English. But I do. And a few other things. So the question is, because I don't think like "the herd" does that make me a freak? I'm thinking that I might be a freak. And I don't drink coffee like everyone else either. I guess I might be a freak!

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of ###. We lift up his concerns and feelings of being different in this fallen world. Lord, we acknowledge that each person is fearfully and wonderfully made by you, and that our uniqueness is a reflection of your creativity and purpose.

Father, we pray that ### would find comfort and acceptance in knowing that he is not alone in feeling different. Help him to embrace his individuality and see it as a gift rather than a stigma. Remind him that he is fearfully and wonderfully made in your image.

We ask for your guidance and wisdom for ### as he navigates through a world that may not always understand or appreciate his differences. Grant him the strength to stand firm in his convictions and to find joy in being true to himself.

Lord, we pray that ### would not be discouraged by the opinions and preferences of others. Help him to find his identity and worth in you alone, knowing that he is loved and accepted by you unconditionally.

We also pray for ###'s interactions with others who may not speak English in his current location. Give him patience and understanding as he seeks to communicate and build relationships. May his conversations be filled with grace and love, reflecting your heart to those around him.

Father, we ask that you surround ### with a community of believers who will support and encourage him in his journey. Help him to find fellowship and acceptance among those who share his faith.

Lastly, we pray that ### would continue to seek your guidance and rely on your strength in all areas of his life. May he find peace and contentment in knowing that he is fearfully and wonderfully made by you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
