Pray that I make the correct discisions!
I have recently been given the responsibility of taking care of my 17 year old niece. I am scared to death that I will make a mistake with all the descisions that I must make. I need to know that others are praying for me. She was raised in a home much different than my home. The sitution is so different she seems to be happy here but i want her to come to know Jesus in a real relationship. Please pray that she will come to know Jesus in a personal relationship.
Son and daughter in law separating
My son has told his wife of almost 15 year, with two young children (6 & 4) that he wants a separation and probably a divorce. He has already moved out. My daughter in law is devestated and my grandchildren are missing their father and can't understand why he has done this. I have tried speaking with my son. He has many reasons why he wants out of the marriage and really does not want to work at saving it. I don't know what else to do. Neither my son nor daughter in law have actively asked Christ into their lives but my daughter-in-law does believe in God and I believe is seeking Him at this time. I would really covet the prayers and insight of Christian women who have gone through this or who are compassionate towards those who are.
Ashamed
I am searching for woman of faith. I need words of God that will encourage me and begin to direct me towards the light.I have been a sinner my whole life. I have always thrown myself to men, and allowed them to do whatever they wanted with me because I thought that's all I had to offer. I have always hated everything about me (inside and outside).
I ended a 17 year abusive marriage, and just ended a 2 1/2 year affair with a married man, not by my choice. But, somehow God has come into my head and into my life and told me that I have one more chance to get my life in order with Him.I am struggling with this affair addicition. I am struggling with being a single sole financial provider for 3 kids. I am struggling with my emotions and everything else in my life. I need help!
I want to repent my affair, and I don't know, I don't feel remorse in my heart - how awful does that sound. I want to repent of my sins and the life style I have lived. For the first time in my life, I want to be a "true" child of God. I want to be an honorable woman and mom. I want to honor myself. I don't know how to begin the repent process and begin a walk with God. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I MUST DO. Will God listen to me even though I have lust in my heart? I want to change - I really do! HELP ME PLEASE.
Sincerely,
Ashamed

Prayers for Friends
Greetings.
Please pray for my friend Israel.I met him in college and he is a brilliant fellow and very interesting. He is married (common law) and adopted three kids. I would like prayer that God would save him and bring him back as the prodigal son, both him and his wife shannon.
My friend says that he self-medicates himself so I would like you to pray for emotional healing from depression and drug use/drinking. Pray that the wounds and hurts inside him would be healed and would live for God.
Pray for my friend Don -he is very depressed right now-he feels there is no God to help him and he has some legal/marriage issues as well as he is studying for his masters.
Pray that God would watch over Brian as he goes to boot camp and off into the sun set as he joins the marines -on the 23th. .

Hard Time Keeping the Faith
We have a tremendous amount of stress right now in our lives - a few very close relatives with many serious health problems, my husband's job is being eliminated soon... I am trying so hard to give these burdens to God but it is so hard to not be attached to the outcome - I want my husband to find a job that's as good as the one he has and I want him to be happy with it, I want my relatives not to suffer from their health problems...
I'm getting quite discouraged - trying so hard to remain focused on God but I am really starting to feel it's more of a struggle than I can manage to continue believeing that that He has a plan that is for our good...
What if our prayers are not answered and our relatives continue to suffer, what if my husband cannot find a job and we are forced to sell our house, move away, or some other equally undesirable fate? How then do I continue to keep my eyes focused upward? My prayer these days is simply that God will prepare my heart for whatever is coming - but it feels like a sort of doomsday prayer.
Can you offer me some advice on how to deal with these things in a godly way? I would appreciate your prayers.

Abstinence
The following comment was received reguarding Drewe Llyn's response to the Abstinence Help prayer request. Because this comment was a question in nature, we thought it would be best to post it on our General Board. Please click the comments button below to read Drewe Llyn's reply.
Why do you think that being pure is important for God to love you, or to be a good Christian? Being a good Christian has nothing to do with purity, it comes from the heart and involves helping people, caring for people, being kind and living a good life. Those sorts of thoughts and urges are natural as is sharing them with someone you love and who loves you back, there is nothing wrong, bad, sinful or shamful about being with someone you love, in fact, it's perfectly normal. Surpressing those urges, thoughts and feelings is abnormal as is remaining pure past puberity when hormones kick in, God gave us those feelings and hormones for a reason, and he says nothing about abstaining from sex, it's the orgainsed religions that want their memebers to remain pure, they put a guilt trip on you so you remain true to their cause, they hang damnation over your head if you're "weak" and give in to sin. That's how they keep their numbers in the church.I truly believe God is happy if we are happy and living a life true to his commandments. No where in the commandments does it say "be pure". It's orthadox rubbish. Follow the commandments and forget the rest, if you wanna love your man, then love him and leave your guilt at the door, purity or lack of has nothing to do with God, his love or getting into heaven.

Prayer Needed
Sister, Pray for me. My heart is soo burdened I cannot even explain so PLEASE just pray.
God guide my feet!
I am dating a man who is in the process of divorce. He has been seperated from his wife for awhile now and according to him, she left him. After fasting and praying he truly believes that God released him from his vow. He has already filed the paperwork and in a few months time it should be completed. We are both Christians and we both believe in the sanctity of marriage. Richard says he intends to marry me as soon as he is able and deeply wants to build a new life in Christ with me. I have never been married before and truly want to do Gods will. Is it right for me to marry a man who is divorced for reasons other than unfaithfullness. Will I be seen as unclean? I love him very much and I am amazed at his conviction to Christ. I believe that he is truly a man of God and I know that he has helped me with my desire for a closer walk with the lord. I guess I need to feel confident in my choice to marry him. I have prayed about this many times and I will walk foward in faith but, I need encouragement from anyone who has been in my shoes and knows what I am facing. PS. he has a son (7) and I have never dated anyone with children.
Salvation and Deliverance from Evil
Please pray urgently that God interceds and removes all evil from Loretta and clears her immediately, please ask God to restore clarity, happiness and peace of mind to Loretta and that he delivers her from this evil very soon. Please pray this will all be achieved well before Amber arrives.
Unequally Yoked Marriage
When I married my husband 16 years ago, I was a church-going person but had not really ever read the Bible and was not born again. (I was raised Catholic and eventually attended a Lutheran church as a young adult.) Now that I have been born again, I'm troubled by my marriage since my husband is an atheist. I'm raising my two children to love the Lord and my husband does not object. He is very careful never to say anything that contradicts what they are learning about God. He's also a very wonderful person, a great husband, and a super dad. But.... it's hard for me to live my life like as a believer when he is not one.
My question is this: Does God have a life plan for those who are not saved? If not, then how can He have a plan for me when I am married to an unbeliever? Does God work in your life before you are saved?
Also, I am asking for prayers that God will be able to soften my husband's heart toward Him so that he may come to know Him.
Thank you so much...

My Daughter Needs Prayer
I have an 18 year old daughter who desperately needs prayer. She has been involved with drugs since around the age of 14. I was very young when I had her, therefore my parents have raised her. My father is in denial where she is concerned. My mother knows what is going on, but I think she is "tired" of fighting. She is too old (legally) for me to make her do anything. She was raised up in church and she knows the Lord. I have to believe she will find her way back. Sometimes I feel like our relationship is beyond repair. I want to help her, but she wants no part of it. Please pray that God will touch her heart and turn her around. I fear everyday what the next phone call will bring. Please pray for her...Her name is Chelsea....
My Daughter
My daughter recently lost her husband in a terrible car accident, he was only 23 and a reformed christian man just getting his life back on track, always a smile for everyone he met. I loved him so much and it is hurting me so much. my daughter wants so badly to come off drugs she has been on for about 2 years now.She says the power of the drug has complete control of her. She has my one and only grandson and he knows he has lost his father and is also hurting. he doesn't need to loss her too. The grandparents have been helping with him. I live 500 miles away and I feel so helpless and don't know what to do. The stress is causing me health problems, panic attacks, depression, post traumatic stress disorder and others. I am a Christian and pray daily for help and guidence and especially for my daughter and grandson! I feel I need to help her but WHAT can I do?? I put it in God's Hands and wait for Him to lead me.
Thank you for your prayers and May God Bless and keep you.

Growth in Christ
Father,
I thank you for the way you have called my daughter to be treasurer of our church, protect her from the enemy, give her integrity, discernment, and help her to draw closer to you in the process.
As she is accepted into the church on Sunday with her husband. I ask that you will open up their hearts and minds to receive you, and to live up to the promises they make.
Be with Rev. Jeff as he conducts the service.
Amen

Abstinence Help
Hi, my boyfriend and I have been very good for a long time about abstaining from any type of intimate activity. We started courting about four years ago. Both coming from a Christian perspective, it was an easy decision not to be intimate. We both wear purity promise rings and everything. However, when we went to college, it became harder to keep accountable. He has always been pretty strong, but lets face it, when he looks at my pouty face he has a hard time saying no. Here is the hard part. I have a bad past. I have always been a good Christian girl, but a large part of my family is not, and I have been taken advantage of sexually multiple times by different family members at a very young age. This has haunted me for so long. I remained a virgin still, though I was quick to make out with guys and let them touch me and such in middle school and early high school. Then I got serious about God. I decided to stop going out with guys until God led me to the right one. Later I met "J". He had long ago made that same decision. We were best friends for two years, and then realized that we cared deeply for each other. We began praying about what God wanted for each of us, and came to the conclusion that we could begin a courtship. I wasn't ready for a strict courtship, meaning supervised dates and such, so I convinced him that that was okay. Like I said, for a while it was, but at college we were busy with school so much that when we did see each other it had a tendency to be kinda heated. It started slow and eventually we did have intercourse. All along after each encounter (even make-out times) we would ask for forgiveness and say we were sorry to each other and promise not to do it again. Well, I am starting to think something is wrong with me. I love God with all of my heart, and want so much to never again have an intimate time until "J" and I are married, but it seems like I’m missing something. I find myself attempting to seduce him into "loving me" even though in my heart of hearts I know I don't need that, and that he does love me. I just hear Satan saying that I need to have him look at me one more time, and I get hurt when he turns me down. I feel rejected, worthless, un-pretty, unwanted, undesired. I know that is not the case, but Satan just keeps playing on my past (low self esteem). I want him to shut up. I don't want to have to make such stringent rules like me not being allowed in his apartment at all. Maybe I could just leave the door open. I’m so torn. I know if we keep this up, God is never going to approve of us getting married (that's why we aren't engaged yet-he is waiting on 's release). But at the same time, I long so for that life with him, that I love to be with him in his home (like a wife would be). Does anyone have any words of wisdom other than just a complete cut off from him? HELP!
Adoption
Father God, I feel I am constantly bullied by my adopted daughter, and instead of sticking up to her, I allow it. I am not a person who likes to cause anyone any trouble, I understand, that in one way, if she controls me I will not leave her. She is now married with children of her own, and I feel that she needs to trust You in all aspects of her life, but I think she blames You sometimes, for her initial rejection.
Lord teach me how to pray, so that she may grow in Your likeness.
Amen
Lord teach me how to pray, so that she may grow in Your likeness.

Husband Has Cancer
Please pray for my husband. He has been undergoing radiation treatments for prostate cancer. He has developed some infection and cannot receive his daily radiation treatment. He is in terrible pain. We are not worried, God is in control! I would like for you all to pray that God's will be done and His name be glorified.
Thank you so much. Our "tour of duty" in the Mission Service Corp will be over in Oct. Please pray that we will follow our Lord in whatever or wherever He sends us.

Agreement For My New Likeness
God has made known to me as a new creature all things are new. The areas of my life I am not excellent in or at least better in like: maintaining my home, being more on-time, managing my 7 month old and 14 year old sister, and finances.
At 20 years old I have much on my plate, but I know that in Christ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am being trained as a Woman of God and Praise God for Jesus - I am not expected to do anything without Him. But I ask that you pray in agreement for God to take my needs and bless me and use me for His Good and perfect Will. That even my hindrances (including self) become a stepping stone in my Life.
Thank you and Praise God.
Daughter Needs Encouragement and Protection
We are missionaries in Brazil and have three college agers in the US (one at home). My 19 year old daughter is selling books door-to-door this summer in a strange city by herself (with a reputable company). She knows the Lord but she has not walked closely with him in the past years. I'm asking prayer that she will seek Him in this challenging job with long hours and that He will protect her and bless her so that she knows she can trust and walk with the Lord in a personal way. God is able. Thank you.
Financial Help
Please pray that my mom is understanding and will be open to helping me financially with some dental work I need done. I have to ask her to help me and pray she will be open and willing and soft-hearted about it. I will make payments evey month to pay her back and am very nervous about asking for her help.
Thank you so much for you prayers.
Thank you so much for you prayers.
Prayer for Me and My Children
The father of my children is very abusive verbally and physically to us. We want the Lord to help and rescue us. We need relief from the terrible situation we are in.
Thank you for praying an immediate prayer of help for us.
Amen
Thank you for praying an immediate prayer of help for us.

Power of Prayer
Father, I find it difficult that in my church, not many people are interested in prayer or Bible study. I ask that you will give me the right attitude, the right words, to encourage people to attend the ladies quiet day on the power of prayer. I ask that all those who attend will have their eyes and ears opened to draw nearer to yourself. We pray for the Rev Elizabeth as she leads this day on 1 July 2006.
Amen
Amen
Reconciliation
Please continue to pray for a full reconciliation between my ex-fiancée and I. When we have topics to discuss about past hurts, let it be a tool for our healing and learning, not a tool that will divide us. Please continue to pray that we each keep our relationship and each other a priority, that we accept each other and have fun with each other and rejoice in all the wonderful things about each other and our relationship together.
I thank you for your prayers for our full reconciliation with each other and can plan our life together too.
Thank you.

A place for the children
Dear Friends,
Hurricane Katrina destroyed our wonderful childcare center in Carriere Mississippi. God has laid it on our hearts to build a new center, but we are unable to find a place to do this. Please pray for us as we continue to look for the right place. We thought we had the "perfect spot" and because the appraisal was less than the asking price we were unable to meet the financial down payment part. We did make an offer and the seller did not agree to it yet. We are just praying for him to have a change of heart and sell it to us but we have given this all to GOD because our mission is to fulfill God's plans in our lives. We want the chance to pray with the children and teach them and mostly to plant those seeds in their little lives. We also want the chance to help parents in any way we can. Please please pray for us.
Love to all,

Stepping Out Into the Wilderness
My husband and I are stepping out in faith to do a ministry that the Lord has laid on our hearts. It is a work that began 6 years ago that we have done in tandem with a bi-vocational church. Now it is time to step out to do the ministry full time. No safety nets of a part-time salary or pastorium. We are presently seeking God's guidance for housing. That is the step that looms before us. We also need land for the ministry. Please pray that the Lord will show us where to lodge. My husband and I want God to receive all glory in this ministry. That there will be no doubt of His leadig and that it will be witness to many that watch.
Prayer for my daughter, Stephanie
My husband and I have been missionaries in Mexico for almost 32 years. Many think you give up a lot to be a missionary, but I can truthfully say, the only hard time I´ve had was when my children moved away. We have two (boy and girl) and both are married and live in the U.S.A.
One of the times it is hard to be far away is when they have health issues. Our daughter, Stephanie, was rushed to the hospital almost two months ago with loss of balance, a blinding headache, and nausea. A cat scan revealed a large cyst in the back of her head. An MRI showed it is an arachnoid cyst and it covers the entire back of her brain. We believe God still works miracles and we have been asking Him to shrink it or make it disappear. She has been under the care of a neurologist and neurosurgeon and last week another MRI was performed. She will see the neurosurgeon this Monday (May 1) to find out the results.
We request your prayers for Stephanie. She is a wife and mother of our first grandchild.

Prayer for my daughter
Please pray today for my daughter who is being judged on flute and voice in her jury performance at her college today. She is anxious and seems to have forgotten that God is with her (although I know that this is not true). Her success will help her with scholarships and give her the confidence that she needs since she is away from a mother that has always been there physically at each event. She is a college freshman.
I know that so many people have more serious issues but I think we should always go to God in whatever circumstance. Therefore I really appreciate your combined prayers now and at 1:30 EST today. The prayers of the righteous availeth much.
Thank you.

Update: I Need A Miracle From God
Original Prayer Request
Praise God!!
My sinus infection has cleared up and my ears are open for the first time since December 05.
There has been a miracle in my body and God did answer the prayer to my finances. Sometimes no answer is an answer. I thought that I would be in dire straits if I did not have a certain amount of money by Monday. The miracle was I did not get the money and everything is fine. I feel that God's answer to me was "Fear not I am in control" and that's exactly how my life is going. God is in control and directing my path.
I thank God for your website. You don't know what it means for someone to have a place to go where there is someone who wants to pray for them.
Be Blessed In Jesus Name!

Lonna
Doctors say she needs surgery for scar tissue wrapping around her intestines causing blockages. Much, much pain, sees doctor Thursday at 10 am. I know God is able to heal this without her having to have surgery again. She had to have her entire colon removed 6 years ago due to crones disease. Please pray for her healing.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let Go and Let You
Father,
You know everything about Gill, her heart, her dreams, but I feel she is in bondage over so many things, fear of her children not loving her and not being able to let go, I ask that she will be able to trust you.
I pray for Mark who has had very little religious teaching and now attends church and is about to become a member, I ask that he will take this seriously, he will show commitment and ask that your will will be done.
Amen
My Dad Will Be Having Surgery
My Dad, Jerry, will be having surgery to redo the arteries in his legs on Monday, April 24. He just had surgery on the carotoid arteries in his neck 1 1/2 weeks ago. They say he may be in ICS and on a ventilator for a few days. My Dad does not respond to surgeries well. Please pray that he will nail down his salvation before going into surgery and that God will lead, guide, and direct the surgeons during this operation.
Also, pray for my brother who is lost and gets very upset with anyone who even tries to witness to him. I feel he has closed the door on God. Pray for my children that they will return to the foot of the cross and look to God for guidance and direction in their lives and the lives of their families.
God bless each of you.

Your Presence & Prayers Touched My Life
I just wanted to let you know that I have been blessed by the women in this organization. Friday March 31st, I was in a car accident in Chattanooga, TN. The ladies in this group prayed for me and my unborn baby while I waited for the ambulance to arrive. Your presence and prayers eased my nerves and touched my life. Thank you so much for being there for me-even though I am a complete stranger to you. I was released from the hospital early the following morning, I am completely fine and my baby is also safe and unharmed.
Thanks Again,

Our Son's Fiance. . . Motorcycle Accident
Last May our son's fiance was killed in a motorcycle accident in Bowling Green, KY. Naturally we went up and stayed with him to comfort him. She was very beloved by our family. His friends and church enveloped us with love and we fell in love with them and the area.
We found a farm up there and bought it....all with much prayer and consideration from all. We asked God to allow it if that is where He wanted us and where we could be of utmost service to Him. We live in the Katrina struck part of MS. and we have to fix our house up and sell it before we can move up. The payments on both places is stressing out my husband.
Thank goodness we have the farm bacause that is where we went during Katrina. I felt all the more in my spirit that it was meant to be. Bottom line, please keep praying with us that God would lead our steps to do what we need to do so we can sell this place and be where He wants us. There are so many people down here that need homes. It is hard at this point in time to remember on a daily basis that God is directing our path when there is so much to do to the house. It seems overwhelming at times.
I know God does things on His timetable, not mine but I firmly believe He was guiding us when we got them farm. There were so many confirmations, "Godcidences", I call them that. I know we are not to waver in our faith. I ask Him to guide our steps everyday. It is hard sometimes when there is so much to do!
I believe there is a family out there waiting for this home so they can "come home". Please just pray with me that if we keep putting one foot in front of the other and doing what we are supposed to do......it will all work to His glory!!!!
Thank you,
MJ

The Enemy Set Up A Huge Temptaion
Dear Friends, Thank you that I can come and get some encouragement. First of all my husband and I have 7 precious children. Two in heaven and 5 here on earth, Ages 11, 14, 27 29 30 and 33. We had such a fun time when the older ones were at home. They are all Christians. The world has attacked the ones that have left the home and are married. We are a praying momma and daddy and even though it looks like the enemy is winning we will not give up.
The question that I have I will explain at the end of my explaining. 3 1/2 years ago our youngest son's wife was taken captive by the enemy. We realize the battle and have not given up on praying for her. 2 weeks before the enemy set up a huge temptaion she and I were getting close. She wrote an email that was talking about the love for her and our son's two children and her love for our son. At the time she and her momma were going and working out. Her mother was having an affair and got her daughter into one also. Our daughter in law put on a whole different personality and starting living in a very weird way. Our son sat at home waiting for her to come home at night after she would be out at bars. We do know that this is a huge spritual battle that we are fighting in prayer on behalf ouf our precious daught in law. We love her and pray for her return. It looks impossible, but the Lord has given us unreserved love for her.
Anyway in the process our son has gotten lots of council from some of his Christian friends that even though they are not divorced that he can date other women until their divorce goes final. She has decided to divorce our son but has to use the insurance for a time.
The question we have is. Our son is still married in our eyes. Even if he is waiting for a divorce that she is getting it has not happened yet. We were having my husband's birthday and our son wanted to bring his girlfriend to the party. He still has two sisters that are younger and then we also have 7 grandchildren who are under the age of 7. Two of them being his that would also be watching at the birthday party. We asked him to please not bring her and he got upset and didn't show up. The girlfriend has just come to Christ and doesn't understand the gospels as of yet. Talk about a soap opera. Anyway. What do you all think.
Our daughters are having a real hard time and still pray faithfully for the wife's freedom to beable to do right. It is very hard for them. Any encouragement would be helpful. We have explained to our son the reason's for our stand and scripture that we stand on. He understands that, but just disagrees with us.
His church is big and doesn't know what his situation is. He brings his girlfriend to church and 2 weeks ago she got baptised. We have not talked with her giving our son time to let her know what we believe. She has a little girls also that is 3. Talk about one of the hardest things we have gone through. thank you so much for your help.
My husband and I have helped many families with broken hearts. We just need some encouragement from some others now.

How Can I Encourage A Discouraged Leader?
How can I encourage someone who has lost confidence in serving others? She has lead women for many years but now wants to back out...and she's only in her early thirties. Burn out is common for everybody...but how can I help her? (I need more than an empty platitude).
Because my friend may step down from leadership (because of her discouragement).....her job may fall to me. And I don't have a problem saying I'm a little nervous. Isn't being a leader really scary?
Thanks for the reminder (Tammie's Blog Series "Who Am I") that God is with me and has the experience/knowledge that I don't.

Satan Attacking In The Work Place
I have decided that since Satan seems to be attacking me in the work place that I will not sit by and wait for him to come to me. I decided that I will start to show up for work earlier than usual and start a devotion and prayer time right here where I am at. It is my prayer that through my prayer time that others here at work will join me in my quest for a Christian work place. I know that even though I am already being attacked by Satan that the attacks will only become stronger on me and those that decided to join with me in prayer. Because of this I come to you, my sisters in Christ, to ask for your prayer for me and my co-workers. I know that the power of God is able to sustain me. God has a plan for me here and I will not let Satan overcome what God has planned. This time will be tough but I know that through me God can do wonderful things. I praise God that he has been patient with me to catch on to his plan for me here at my work place. I give him all the glory, now for what he is going to accomplish.
Please Pray with me Sisters…
Lord God, I come to you and thank you for your love and your kindness, your compassion and your mercy. Father I ask that you be with me here at my work place and strengthen me to do what you have called me to do. Help me Father to know how to pray for those here, how to minister through your word and your love. Father help me to show Jesus to all those that surround me. Father, I pray that when Satan’s attacks come that you strengthen me to overcome what ever he throws at me. Help me, through your word to resist his temptations. Father, I ask right now that you forgive me of my sins and short comings, help me to live the light that you have given to me. Father, help me to let that light so shine that others will see my good works and glorify you. Father, I love you and I praise you, In Jesus Holy and Precious Name, AMEN.

How Could I Ever Want To Leave This?
I am presently working in a wonderful job and it offers more than most women would ever ask for. Job security, excellent Christian atmosphere, wonderful supportive people to work with, a sense of accomplishment most days, confidentiality and trust, even a decent pay scale and good hours. How could I ever want to leave this? I don't know but I feel this door closing after 18 years and I really am ready to move on to something else.
I have always known my spiritual gifts are in ministering and service to others. Older people, perhaps. Shut-ins in my neighborhood. Please pray that God will lead me to make the right decision about leaving and also where does He want me to go.
This morning I read Tracie's article and heard her say, "Put forth your hand" [Audio Devotional] before Jesus healed the man. Is God saying to me "Put forth your hand of faith? Step out and then I will bring you into the place I've prepared for you?"
Please pray that God will continue to reveal to me what He wants me to do, whether it is to stay in this ideal situation for awhile longer or complete the training of someone to take my place here so I can move on to the new ministry opportunities. Thank you for this opportunity to ask for prayer support and thank you for praying for me. I will wait to hear from you but I will also be searching for God's direction.
