God's Favor

I am praying today, A LOT. I know that seems strange that I would post that I am praying because this is something I do daily.

Today is different... I am praying for Brandi and Tom today. Today is hopefully the last day that the will go to court to determine the future of the little one. There are so many lies and so much manipulation that is involved with this situation, that my prayers have mostly been for the judge. That he will be smart, courageous, and wise in his decisions for a toddler. That past cases and decisions will not effect his decision that he needs to make to day. I am praying that God will speak to this man and that he will be able to see where she needs to grow up. I know that the decking made there (at court) will effect many people and I pray for everyone, for each of us that love this child, to be at peace with the decisions today. I am praying that Brandi will be wearing her armor of God today. Especially the shield! (Eph 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one). There is so much to pray and so few words to express it all.

I am also praying for a family I do not know today. The daughter, Christi, has a serious case of cancer and has been ill for a long time. She is starting an in tense treatment plan today in hopes of saving her young life, yet again. This family trusts God and is always relying on prayers. Please pray today, and all week. I know that the mother has to be hundreds of miles away from her child this week as she starts large doses of chemo. Pray for the mom to have no anxiety and to trust in God's promises.

It is a serious thing to feel God moving so much and calling me to pray, but it is such a humbling experience, as well as a blessing. Praying for God's Favor!
