Dear hurting and struggling friends,

Lately, a lot of my friends have been asking for prayers – for themselves and also for people around them.  The prayer requests varies from person to person – from broken hearts, financial difficulties, health problems, family problems, personal spiritual struggles, etc.  Of course, I wouldn’t name these friends of mine, but my heart truly goes to them.  I myself am not free from struggles and/or pain.  For the people who asked for prayers, you know who you are.  And I am praying for all of you.  All of you who asked for prayers (literally) were on my mind when I read Psalm 73 yesterday and listened to the song “The Words I Would Say” by the Sidewalk Prophets.

So besides praying for my beloved friends, here’s an encouragement:

Psalm 73 (Contrasts the fate of the wicked from the fate of the righteous in Christ cos of God’s faithfulness)

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but you?
       And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart may fail, 
       but God is the strength of my heart
       and my portion forever.

²⁷ Those who are far from you will perish;
       you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

²⁸ But as for me, it is good to be near God.
       I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
       I will tell of all your deeds.

And here’s the song “The Words I Would Say” by the Sidewalk Prophets:

(If you can’t play it, search it on YouTube, it’s a good song)

And for my other friends who need prayer, just text me and send me a message.  What are brothers/sisters in Christ for right
