Default Prayers

This may be a little out of character for me, but its that time. I need prayers. Strong sincere ones, and a lot of them.

Im not going to air out my dirty laundry because its not so much about me, but rather someone I care about immensely and love more than myself.

Lets just say that this person has been going through a long, tough, major ordeal (which affects me because I care a lot) where the last stand occurs two weeks from yesterday, and its utterly critical that this person succeeds in the way they need to.

Honestly, if I had a magic lamp, this would be one of my 3 wishes. So, if you arent totally put off by me, I would appreciate any positive prayers, vibes, etc. for the next two weeks wishing for a successful resolution.

This post wont be up long past this weekend, so if you can, spread it to others who you feel would help. Thanks.

This is one man who is not afraid to admit that he prays daily. Your needs will be in those prayers.

I pray daily too, and have a long list of people I pray for ... when I add someone, I like to have a first name. If you don't want to post it, would you please PM it to me? And if you don't want to, that's cool too ... I can connect either way ...

You and yours are on my prayer list ...

Stay vigilant, keep your head high, and keep faith.

Tell your friend to remember, when life brings you down, kick it in the knees until it's eye level with you. Then headbutt it in the face. Never quit. Never accept defeat. Failure is not an option.

I am a little behind in posting to this thread. I like many others are in the pray daily category and am happy to pray for your request. Best wishes,
