Hello, my friends. It is time for another one of our Friday Pray Together episodes. I appreciate

you joining me again. My family and I are still in transition moving out of our time of

traveling in our RV. We've sold the RV now and we are moving toward a more stationary

sort of a life. And we are actually at a relative's house today.

So if the sound sounds a little different and you're not able to hear the same kind of quality,

it's because of that situation.

I'm also using a microphone that's really not the best microphone, but it's what I have at my disposal right now.

So please bear with me as we're in this time of transition and pray that we have wisdom to manage all the changes, all the circumstances, as the Lord would have us do.

This is our opportunity each week to actually pray together. And though in time and in space, we may not be doing it at the same time.

I believe the good

Lord in heaven wants to hear our prayers. He wants to hear us praying on the same themes and for

the same things. And he desires to answer. This Friday episode is based on the belief that God

is faithful to his people. He wants us to cry out as

his children and he as a father will respond. Today we have a number of requests we want to get to.

And before we do, I'm going to ask you to be praying for me regarding these pray together

episodes. Some weeks, they are very long because we have many requests,

and I'm just praying through how to handle that best. There's been the idea suggested that I do a

handful of them every day. There's also been a suggestion that I include others in praying for these.

I'm open to all those ideas. I just don't know what they might actually look like in practical terms and in a way that

would be reliable.

So I ask you to pray for me, pray for that, that I would have wisdom to know about that.

I want you to stop for a moment and think about prayer.
