Prayer Needed...!

Praise God for the cooler 58 degree temperatures this morning at Columbia Lakes...! Honestly, It has been so hot for so long I can't remember a hotter summer than this one. I can't remember a dryer summer than this one, either.

And while my family enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing Labor Day at home, other parts of Texas were being devastated by wildfire. We stopped and prayed together as a family several times throughout the day and evening for all those effected by the out of control fires. Map

There are so many situations that need prayer right now. I could sit and compose on this prayer site all morning if I had the time.

We must also lift up sweet little Barrett Langham who has been suffering severe migraine headaches the past few days.

There are many relationship issues that need healing and restoration as well. But God is Sovereign over all. Our responsibility is to be faithful and to not lose hope during these difficult, trying times.

Father God, Lord you are Lord of All. Father God while we sometimes have a difficult time understanding why bad things happen to good people. We rest in the fact that You are Always by our side.

Father, I lift up to You all those affected by the wildfires in Texas. Lord I pray blessings on those families who have suffered loss of life and property. Father I pray for Your People to be Your hands and feet in this situation and comfort those who have suffered loss. Lord I pray for a containment of these fires. Lord I pray for rain. Father please bless and protect all the volunteer rescue workers involved.

Lord I pray for healing for Barrett. Thank You for all the friends and family who have stood vigilant throughout the Langham family crises.

Father I stand in the gap for my stepson, Connor. Please restore him to his family. Draw him close to You, Lord. Send Godly influences into his life.

Father God there are many more requests. You know them all. Thank You for being a God that is bigger than our problems. Thank You for loving us and sending Your sweet, precious son, Jesus. I love You, Lord.

And pray these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
