Hey, I've got some prayer requests. Things are kinda tough at the moment.
+My Dad. He messed up his knee REALLY badly. He can barely walk. Pray for his healing.
+My Mom. Serious financial troubles. Pray that she can sell some houses or find a well paying job.
+My Stepmom. She's pretty much unable to leave the house as a result of back injuries. One of her discs is at a 90 degree angle compared to what it should be. The only way to correct it is to go in though the front of her body, which would mean manouvering around vital organs. So it's a choice between risking death to possible gain mobility again, or being unable to leave her house for the rest of her life. So pray for clarity and peace of mind, and pray that if she goes for the surgery, that she will remain safe during the procedure and that it will be a success.
+My schoolwork. I'm sucking at school at the moment. It feels like I'm drowning. I can't keep up with all of this work. Please pray that I can remain focused so I can get my school work out of the way.
+My girl situation. A really great girl told me that she liked me, but I still like someone that will probably never like me back. Pray that I will see what God has planned for me in my relationships, and that I'll be able to follow through.
+My spiritual life. I've been really slowing down in growing in my faith. I just feel empty sometimes, like I try to find God in me but I can't. When I pray, I can't tell if I'm actually praying, or I'm just saying the words. I haven't had a God moment since the spring retreat, almost a year ago. Pray that I'll be able to cast aside the shackles of my doubt and my worry and that I'll be able to see and feel God again.
Thanks.
I may never know
how it feels to stand beside you
or take your hand
When I need some direction
And I may never know
what it's like to see you smile
Back at me
Or know you'd be proud of me
