Please Pray for These People



TIM
Recently I requested prayers for my relationship with Tim. We had a wonderful time together thanks God answering much prayer. He came to faith in Christ late in life, in his 50s. He had attended Roman Catholic Church as a child. He admitted that he has not read or studied the Bible. He is in a Christian discipleship program at the shelter. He said that will lead him to read the Bible, answer workbook questions and memorize verses. He said that is want he needs at this time but is not sure he will make it to the end of the 10 month program.

During our conversation he asked many excellent questions. That led me to make a list of websites that might help him. I shared them with and put a copy of most of those links to share with others on this blog post.

I gave Tim a copy of the gospel of John. It was printed by Pocket Testament League with helpful notes https://www.ptl.org/code/products.php . Pray for him to read the entire gospel and may the Holy Spirit make the Word alive.

May God guide and bless our future relationship.



RON
I asked prayers for Ron recently that he get more sleep. He has had a very stressful job and he has been processing grief due to the deaths of his mother, brother and girlfriend recently. God made a way for him to get much more sleep because his job responsibilities were changed so that it takes less time and is less stressful.

Pray for him to process his grief and take good care of his health.



PHILLIP
Phillip is a naturally gifted teacher. He is making plans to teach online and offline. May God grant him wisdom and guidance as he explores this new adventure.

He admitted that he hates public speaking. But God keeps putting him into those situations. He will speak to a large church group on Christmas Eve. Pray for that event to go smoothly. And may God guide him to become an excellent public speaker.

I sent him links for Toastmasters Dallas http://dallastoastmasters.com/ and International  http://www.toastmasters.org/



JOHN W.
John has been a male nurse for many years. He left his job to provide hospice care for his father at home as he slowly died. He maxed out his credit cards to stay afloat. Now he is returning to the marketplace to find another job as a hospital nurse. This has been a long and complex process.

Pray for God to soon open the door to the right job. May he get back on his feet financially. May God make a way for him to grieve the loss of his father.




BETTY
Betty has had health challenges with her heart, eyes and hand. She has been to doctors and had tests. May God guide her to the best treatments and make a way for her to afford them.
