Thank you for your past prayers, my friends. They have helped me through rough times, and I regret I keep running into my own insufficiency and my need for prayers.
This weekend, in an instrumental moment, I will be seeing my brother and my sister and confronting them on a moral issue, which will raise hackles. I do not like or look forward to the weekend, as to defend the truth, I must risk incurring the ill will of family, my only family in the area. Failure to confront them in the past has led to my own weakening in the faith as well as incurring the contempt of family.
Please pray that I love God more than anything, that I’d dread inaction over action towards the right thing, that I increase in knowledge of God and of the truth, that I’d love the truth more than the favor of my associates, that I’d be driven continually to pursue wisdom, and that I find the strength to pray: I always lose the strength to pray when family bullies me, belittles my faith and my conviction, so really, it feels as though my soul and the integrity I have been working towards is in great peril.
So pray for my success this weekend in conveying the truth and defending my principles.
My friends in Christ, God bless you, keep you, and answer your own prayers, fulfilling your own intentions. The love of God and the peace of Christ be with you - may these things which surpass all understanding, find me as well and keep me.
