Specific people to pray for

• Please pray for me and my family. After some plumbing disasters, we've had to take on some major home repair. It's been disruptive and anxiety producing. Please pray that the Lord will continue to hold us in His hands, provide for us, and grant us the faith to trust in Him and endure these hassles.
• Please pray for John. He gave his life to the Lord just a month or two ago, but he is facing some pretty serious problems left over from his "old life." Please pray that he would find the courage, faith, and support that he needs in prayer, Scripture, and fellowship. Pray that God will guide and direct him in his new life in Christ.
  
• Please pray for Cody who continues his battle with cancer, but meanwhile also has all the challenges and adventures of adolescence that any teenager has to cope with.
• Please pray for Brian and Alisha (and Daniel too, I think) because the lost their mom to cancer this week. I can't imagine lonely, sad, frightened, or hurt they must be, so be in middle school, high school or just starting college and to lose a parent. Pray for their comfort and healing.
• Pray that kids in my church will start coming to Bible Study on Sunday mornings so I don't have to just sit there, picking my nose, all alone in the kitchen in the church basement.
  
• Pray for peace
• Pray for economic stability
• Pray for social, legal, political, and economic justice for the weak, the poor, and the abused.
• Pray that America will some day live up to it's promise
• And pray that Christians will some day truly be "little imitators of Christ," the meaning of their name, "Christian."
• In Jesus Name, Amen (let it be so)
