Hello, friends. Welcome to another pray together episode. Had a busy morning here, so we're getting this done a little bit later, but that's all right. The Lord hears our prayers whenever we say them. So I thank you for joining me today for this prayer request. Before we get into it, I want to remind you of a couple of things when it comes to prayer. First of all, we have the stupendous privilege of taking our requests, our concerns and

needs to the king of the universe, Jesus Christ, who rules and reigns over everything and who has invited

us to come to the throne of grace, to find help during our time of need. That is an amazing privilege. And I would just encourage us to come to the throne of grace to find help during our time of need. That is an amazing

privilege. And I would just encourage us to take that seriously, not take it lightly. But the other

thing that stems from that is that we are asking him to do something about these things. He is the

almighty. He is the one who can do things we cannot do,

who can handle the situations we cannot face. My friends, we have a wonderful, wonderful asset,

a wonderful resource here to go to our God who loves us and cares for us and ask him to make a

difference in these situations. So today, I want to ask you

to pray with me with that kind of faith, knowing our God is good, he loves us, and that he cares for us.

If you have a request you'd like to include in next week's episode, you can do so by going to

carrygreen.com slash prayer. All right, we're going to dive in today

with a number of requests. Please pray together with me. Father, we thank you for this privilege of

prayer, for this opportunity to come to you with concerns and cares and burdens, and to bring them to

you, knowing you are good and knowing that you will answer

according to wisdom and according to what you have ordained is best in every situation. So we let go of

our anxiety right now. We let go of our grief, our sorrow, our burden, our pressure, all those

things that weigh down on us. And we lay it all at your feet,

confessing that you are king. You are the prince of peace. You're the one who provides us peace

as we rest in confidence that you are for us, not against us. And so today we lift up the requests of brothers and sisters in Christ, asking you to come

with your mighty power and your overwhelming compassion, asking you to take action on behalf

of these children of the king.
