I would like to thank everybody who has been praying for my brother... I would also like everybody to know that there have been a few noticeable changes with him: there have been instances when he follows the time to go home, when we are talking to him about his mistakes, he isn't making faces anymore, he has been more focus on our teaching sessions although there have still have been occasional slips, this is better than nothing... I've also noticed that I have been calm and collective as well when dealing with him. And I know that the prayers are working that's why I would like to ask for more prayers for him... I know we can do this... Thanks in advance...
Dear Lord, I just did back readings of my prayers and noticed that it is mostly about my brother... First of all am glad, that he is still showing gestures I deem are ok. However, issues on following the rules and regulations set are still consistent and persistent. Last Saturday, he went home drunk. This has been the third time he did it, as far as we know, at 15 years of age. He said he doesn't have problems except that he is too bored at home and that he finds the attention he needs from his friends. I already cited scenarios where my full attention was with him but he seems not to care and remember. What's only instilled in him are the ones that I did wrong or the moments that he was hurt not thinking that it happened because of my reaction to his own wrong doings. I think the real reason behind this is that he can do whatever he wants with his friends without anybody hindering him. I always have been trying to reach out to him and had been offering him things to do to avoid boredom... I've also been asking him to study since his grades are not good and yet he still dismisses my reminders or I even have to study with him side by side. Am also getting paranoid because of the different bad influences I've been seeing. Please work on him. May he be responsible for all his actions and may he think first before he acts. All I want is for him to have a happy and contented life. I don't want him to get hurt in anyway... I love him so much... We may not be related by blood but love is not defined by it but how you value the relationship formed. It pains me to see him move away from us, not to accept help nor corrections and knowing these may be precursors to other "bad" things. And all I can do is pray, hope and have faith in You... That everything will fall into place and according to Your will. May you also give us strength to endure any pain that comes our way because of these... Please work on us also... We are not perfect but we are works in progress... Lord, I raise everything to you... We ask these through your mighty name from whom all things are possible... Amen...
Dear Lord, I would like to pray for my family members. For my grandfather's health, I hope he regains his health and function similar to what he is and does prior his stroke... For my mom, may she change her lifestyle so she may continue to be more healthy and lose the pounds she need to walk and function properly, as well as to enjoy life to its fullest... For my brother, that he becomes a God-fearing person, that he may overcome his ADHD and becomes more successful than we are, in all aspects of life... For my husband and I, we have been married for 5 years now and is yearning to have a child of our own... I ask for your help in prayer because I believe that nothing is impossible with Him...
