The prayer requests from this week's Love in Action feeding are included below. Thank you for keeping these precious people in your prayers.
Last night at the feeding, a gentleman came up to put his prayer request in my "prayer bag" and with a huge smile on his face, leaned in to whisper in my ear: "Thank you all for praying for me. It's working!"
The act of praying for someone else, especially someone you don't know, is humbling and incomprehensible. As we lift up these names and these needs, it sometimes FEELS like a feather on the wind, lifted up and released and gone. But it's not like that at all! The Holy Spirit is present among us, working both in our lives and the lives of those we're praying for.
Thank you for keeping this ministry in your prayers!
Blessings,
Erika
"If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care — then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand." Philippians 2:1-4

I am so disappointed, sad, and unhappy I traded my heart of flesh for a stone. Countless heavenly sounds once resided in my soul and they have stopped some time ago and now feel like hatred. Dear Father, please listen to my saying. I am the worst of all sinners. Please listen to my prayer. Many tears I've shared on the reflection of my life, I have spoke in vain and not enough prayer. Please take my fears and send them in the middle of the desert. I need an angel — I demand strength and faith. Please pray for me, so I have faith in my Father.
