Hello friends and thanks for joining me for another pray together episode here on this Friday.

We have a number of requests today to be praying for, so I encourage you to set aside the

cares that run your heart set aside the stresses of your day and let's focus on the reality

that we have the privilege to move into the presence of the King of Kings, not as if we

weren't in his presence already, but in a special way where we're asking of him to do

things on behalf of brothers and sisters in the Lord. Let's begin praying.

Father, we thank you for this privilege of prayer. We thank you for the ability to come into

your throne through the blood of Christ and to be accepted and to be heard and to be cared for.

And we want to come in behalf of brothers and sisters who have concerns and needs and pressures

and stresses. And even some praises, Lord, we're just grateful to be able to speak to you at any

time. And Lord, we lift up Lauren to you and ask you to encourage her in her life. Help her to

be closer to you through Bible study times and prayer times that she's having. And we ask that

as she grows in knowing you better, that you'll take away her depression, her anxiety, and the

loneliness that she feels, Lord, she believes it's your will for her to be married. And so she's

asking that you will bring the right man into her life and that she could be married in the future.

Lord, we also ask that you will bring loving, encouraging friends into her life who can be a big

part of reminding her of your truths and to know how to be a good friend to her. And as well,

people that she could be a good friend to in return. Father, please help Lauren to have endurance

and to be disciplined and responsible to do what she knows is right to do. Yes, Lord, build up that

fruit of self-control in her life that will help her to do that. Help her to grow in loving others.

And Lord, lead her in healthy balance life in Jesus and to live out the work that you're doing in

her life. Lord, we lift up Julian's brother to you who is in a coma due to a traumatic brain
