Prayer Requests 3/18/10

Last night when I got home from the Love in Action feeding, I peeked into my 4-year-old's room to say goodnight and found him already asleep in bed. His hair was still wet from a bath, he was in warm pajamas wrapped in a blanket, and had his arms around his favorite stuffed animal. And all I could think about as I kissed him goodnight were the four kids I had just said goodbye to at the LIA feeding. The four children who were, at that same moment, trying to fall asleep in the back seats of the cars they call home.

Two separate fathers, each raising two kids on their own, described to us their struggle to find permanent housing for their families. In light of their pressing need for shelter, we did everything we could think of, called everybody we knew who might help, and were able to put plans in motion to connect them with the right people this morning. But ultimately, they spent last night with their daddies in cars.

One girl, the 4-year-old, told me, "Some day, my mommy will come back and take me to Disney World." She blew bubbles and chased her brother like any other preschooler—like my own son—but she has no bed to get tucked into at night.

The bad news is, even if we can help these two families, there are hundreds more like them in our own community. And over the course of a single year, more than a million American children experience homelessness. It's truly overwhelming.

Yet in the midst of all this discouraging news is the Good News. As Kathy said last night, the "good news" is we don't need to figure it all out ourselves. In fact, relying on our own wisdom is counterproductive. He asks us to rely upon Him and listen for His call. And in hearing that call, to allow ourselves to be moved into action and service. Truly, to put love into action.

Please continue to pray with us for solutions to these seemingly insurmountable challenges. Pray for an end to homelessness, an end to poverty and starvation, an end to suffering, abuse and neglect of all kinds. And please ask anyone you think might be moved into prayer and action to do the same. Pass along these prayer requests wherever you can. You are his hands, his feet, his warm embrace, his encouraging words, his smile, and the channel through which his resources flow.

Thanks be to God, whose love for us is so great that even death is no obstacle ....

I am now standing in front of a river—I can't go back to where I came from. Maybe feelings of resentment or maybe guilt, shame or maybe just me. I'm asking for a miracle.
