Though I have faith, I need you also - all my brothers and sisters in Christ. There are times when out of the blue I feel such heaviness for those who long to be free of pain, free of worry, free of stress, free from domestic violence, free from hunger ... I could go on and on and on. When I look around me I see a beautiful creation that could only be created by the one true, living God. Then I see so much hurt in the faces of people, so many who have been tricked by Satan into thinking time will go on - just keep having fun. It totally breaks my heart to see how so many have been deceived by the devil - drugs are taking our young away by the thousands daily, children are being neglected and abused at a rate I've never seen in my life, instead of hunting season it appears man no longer enjoys hunting for food but rather seeing our innocent children as prey as if it were a sport. Just listen to the news or read the paper, you'll know this is true. My God, how long can a nation of people such as we are last much longer. Sodom and Gomorrah went down because of their vile acts and the word of God tells us, without hesitation, it will be worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. I can't begin to imagine what it will be like. I'm not all that nor am I better than the next person. I simply have a heart that feels as if every day it's being torn apart by the deceptive one.

My prayer request is simply this: that God would heal my mind and my heart that I will obey His word and give Him the glory, honor and praise He deserves. I want that same spirit that covered Mary, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Paul, Stephen - I want God to find favor in me for whatever task he has planned for me. Though I may fall short at times, I know his grace is sufficient to help me back on my feet and continue walking in the light!
