Prayer Requests: An Update

About a month ago, I posted a call for prayer requests here. Time for some testimonials. Check out this exchange from the comment section of that post . . . and keep reading for a few more thoughts from me.

On April 29, one reader submitted this:

Prayer request for my 19 year old son who doesn’t reply to my emails, phone calls, or text messages. I have no idea where he is, what he is doing, or if he is okay. Please pray that God will send someone to watch over him and keep him safe.

There’s no telling how many silent prayers there were, but I posted this in response:

Heavenly Father, speak to this young man in his heart, let him be aware of your presence and love. Guide and protect him, keep him safe. And touch this mother’s heart and soul — give her peace. In Christ’s name, Amen.

About a week later, she posted this:

Thank you. It worked. He is coming home.

And in gratitude, I responded:

Heavenly Father, thank you for deliverance and wisdom. Thank you for your continued guidance and healing for this mother and her family. Remind them that you are always with them and have always been with them. Touch their hearts with grace and a spirit of forgiveness. Open their minds and hearts to hear Your voice as it speaks The Truth — and may that Truth make them free. In Christ’s name, Amen.

So we extend the offer again: If you have a prayer request, make it known in the comment section below. Not that my prayers are any more special than anyone else’s, but I’ll post my prayers in response — hopefully other readers will too. And again, it’s important to pray with your whole being.

One more footnote: As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m going through an extremely painful divorce right now. I’ve never doubted whether The Author is walking with me on this path, but I have wondered exactly what He wants me to do along this road. Suffice to say, when I learn that this blog/project has helped reunite a family . . . well, it’s humbling, hopeful and it helps me see more clearly. And I thank God for that!
