Hello, my friends, and thank you for joining me for another Friday Pray Together episode.

I want us to think today as we begin our prayer time about this passage from Romans chapter 12

verse number 12. It says rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer.

Some versions say be faithful in prayer. You see, prayer is part of

our endurance, but it's also part of our hope. It's part of what keeps us going in the times when we don't

understand things, when God is active and we are not sure what's going on. We rest in the fact that he is behind the scenes doing

things for our good as Romans 828 promises. We rest in the fact that in spite of tribulation,

he is working and he is with us and for us. And therefore we're constant in prayer. And so let's take that attitude today.

As we move forward in praying on behalf of many people who have submitted these requests,

if you would like to submit a request for a future Friday Pray Together episode, I would love to

tell you how to do that. You can check the description in the episode notes for

this episode right there on your podcast player, or you can go to kerrygreen.com slash prayer. And I'll

mention that again at the end of this episode. All right, it's time for us to pray. Let's do so,

going into the throne of grace to find help in our time of need.

Lord, thank you for the opportunity to pray.

Thank you for the encouragement that you give us to pray.

We begin by lifting up Cecilia's two daughters,

who are age 12 and 14.

We ask that you'll bring them to come to know you as their Savior very soon, very early in their lives, Lord. We ask that you'll bring them to come to know you as their Savior very soon, very early

in their lives, Lord.

We ask that you'll bring good examples into their lives of people who know you deeply

and who love you passionately so that they can see what it's like to be a Christ follower.
