Hi there. I would like to please ask those reading this to pray for my husband and me. Recently, I shared a prayer request about my sister-in-law and our two nieces, who are in a post-divorce situation. The new man my sister-in-law picked is extremely worldly and has the potential to be a bad influence for our nieces, as he smokes, vapes, and drinks (with what seems to be an unhealthy fixation on alcohol). There seem to be no indicators this man is a Christian. My sister-in-law, though she claims to be Christian, does not seem to prioritize godliness in a man and says men who are kind and gentle-hearted (like her two brothers) are "too boring." Hence, she dates men like the one she is with. Since godliness does not seem to be a major focus for her in her dating life, she also exemplifies worldliness in other aspects of her life, which is detrimental to our nieces.

Soon after sharing that prayer request, I believe the Holy Spirit put an idea on my heart, which is to take our nieces with us to church once a month (if not more). Not too long ago, my sister-in-law went out of town for three days to go see this man she is with, leaving our nieces with us. We took them to church and I taught them a Bible class about Noah and the flood, which they loved. I think, if we take them with us to church once a month or so (and I teach them a class), they would enjoy it. It is clear they want to learn more about the Lord, the Bible, and what it means to know Jesus.

I have been praying nonstop that the Lord would use my husband and me to help lost family members come to know Christ. I think this idea is an answered prayer, especially because we don't see much evidence that knowing the Lord is a top priority in their home. I pray I am wrong, but the lack of basic knowledge about things I knew when I was a kid like creation, Noah and the flood, Joseph from the Old Testament, and so forth when talking about these things with our nieces is telling. All they seem to know is "the baby Jesus" and that's about it, which makes sense given their family does not attend church and Catholic religious activities are emphasized over an actual relationship with the Lord. I get the feeling since they were baptized in the Catholic church as babies and my sister-in-law has various Catholic artifacts around her home (like the crucifix), they think they are saved (though I could be wrong). We don't claim to know if they are saved or not, but we are left wondering.

This stuff has been bothering me a lot lately, especially after seeing Lamb and Lion's "Nation in Freefall" conference, where the single biggest quote seared into my mind about kids these days is, "They are drowning." This isn't just with our nieces; we are watching our nephew and my little sister-in-law also being led astray because parents either don't care about raising their children in a Christian home or they think religious rituals have saved them. They are lost in the comforts of this world--seeming to only know of God rather than actually knowing Him--and their children are lost, too. It is agonizing and infuriating to watch. Prayers for my husband and me, that we can maintain level heads and hearts, and help these young ones in our family (as well as others), would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I would like to please request prayers for Ruidoso, NM. The area has been ravaged by two large wildfires over the last several days; last night, the area experienced flash flooding. I pray the rain will extinguish these fires. So far, two have perished from the fires and several remain unaccounted for, as the village was evacuated earlier this week. My husband and I have close ties to this town, as we spent our honeymoon there and continue to visit on an annual basis for our anniversary. We have both taken numerous vacations up there with our families since we were kids, and we know several who live there. It is like our home away from home. Prayers for the folks up there and their families would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Please pray for mine and my husband’s health issues and my mental and emotional issues. The Lord knows. There is a lot of spiritual warfare going on with a lot of people that are close to us including myself. Please pray for my oldest brother and his wife’s marriage. As he has started going back to church and getting closer with the Lord, she is pulling further away. Also I put in a prayer request some time ago for my dad who has late stage terminal cancer. We didn’t think he was going to be able to go home from the hospital but he has. He knows Jesus as his savior but of course he is struggling in every way imaginable, feeling like he’s stuck in a holding tank just wanting to go Home. Things are so intense right now with many of the people my husband and I know or are related to. I know most of it can be attributed to the times we are in. But this place is getting darker all the time. Sometimes it’s hard to make sense of it even when staying close to God and reading scripture. When it says, those that endure till the end. It’s taken on a whole new meaning. This world hurts and it’s making the hope of what Jesus has promised us that much sweeter. Anyway. Thank you to whoever reads this and prays. The prayers are much appreciated and may Jesus come quickly, Amen.

PS. I know that God has definitely been good. With the sorrows do come many blessings that He has also provided.
