I cannot look at them without crying each time - praying for each one.
The requests are often praying for children both young and grown who have just discovered cancer or who are struggling with addiction.
Wives praying that husbands will choose them over alcohol - husbands longing to choose her over his addiction yet unable to...
Sons and daughters fighting over-seas - mother's unsure they'll ever see them again.
Grown children experiencing the role-reversal of caring for their elderly parents - trying to decide what kind of care is best for them...doubting if they can care for them...
People whose loved ones are facing death - they pray for their last-minute salvation - they pray for their loved-one to not fear death...
The prayers of God's children are too overwhelming for me...He tells us to come with anything and lay it at His feet - and lay them down I do for they are too heavy to hold...and so the requests continue to come and we pray and they come and we pray...
Even in their heaviness praying for them is one of my greatest privileges.
Even in their heaviness praying for them is one of my greatest privileges.
Oh that this day their fears, and struggles and cares are covered by His love and the peace that comes only through Him...only through Him..........
