Prayer Request September 2008
We all are unique. We have our own personalities, abilities, tastes and preferences. With so many different people also come so many different needs. God knows every single need and provides accordingly. He does not want for us to do without. He will not let us go hungry. He gives us our daily bread.
Psalm 40:17
But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God.

Father, we lift up Pia's Dad to You. Please, touch his heart and soften his mind and lead him to salvation. Take away the pain in his arm and heal him fully, from what is causing it. All this we ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen!
We ask you to pray for the father of a friend of us.
He has severe Parkinson's Disease, but also has a lot of trouble swallowing and eating. He often chokes and blacks out. According to the doctors, the more he passes out, the less chance he has to wake up.
Due to one of his black outs he fell and has a concusion. Doctors are considering to put him on a permanent feeding tube.
Please remember him and his family in your prayers.
Thanks y'all.

Having returned to grad school, I have been too enmeshed in my studies to follow prayers lately, so I have had to play catch-up.
I have a friend and a former roommate Liberty, Mark from South Carolina, who has crept into avowed unbelief. He has publicly rejected the faith, and by his own candid admission, he has thrown away his Bible declaring Christianity 'worthless.' I've tried the gentle rebuke by quoting verses related to Simon Peter's professed desire to stand by Christ, Christ's prophecy of Peter denying Christ, and Peter's subsequent denial thrice. He is caught up in a self-destructive lifestyle of alcohol abuse and a self-victimization mentality. My counsel is met with scorn, cursing and ridicule.
I have tried counseling him about depression and melancholy, and it is admittedly something I have not been immune from. But I clung to my faith amidst my despair a few years ago.
I can have empathy, but I believe in necessity of tough love, not confirming people in their rebellion. The Bible plainly says, without faith, it impossible to please him. I have advised friends and a pastor to reach out to him. I do believe that even avowed believers can creep into struggles with unbelief.
Mark could use your prayers for his restoration and salvation.
I am no better than Mark is or John Newton, William Cowper, or that thief of the Cross. I am a sinner and look to tender mercies of my Lord Jesus Christ. Thankfully, God is the author and finisher of my faith, otherwise I would fall away and be unable to sustain my faith.
"I believe help my unbelief."
—Mark 9:24
