• For my son and his friends at Baylor, allow God to lead them in every area of their lives. I PRAY FOR HEALING in their bodies, hearts, minds and for "HIS" peace like a river in their souls from anything that prevents them from being their best in every area of their young lives. That they KNOW God did NOT give them a spirit of fear, BUT OF POWER, LOVE AND OF SOUND MIND. (2 TIM.1:7) PLEASE pray that they "tangibly" KNOW just HOW "precious" and LOVED by God they are, and that He (even above us--the parents) loves them ... the MOST! May they realize God's unique gifts and talents in themselves and others while waiting for The "awesome" adventurous plans to unfold, as only The Director of our world could write. Thank you Lord, for hearing and answering our prayers in your time, not ours. 11/19/09

She is smart young lady and has worked and tried going to school full time. She had to drop out last semester due to financial hardship. We just need to get through this semester. Please help us pray to get through this hardship. 11/9/09
• Please pray for my son Bryan that he would truly be seeking God's call for his life. May he be focused and seeking to do God's will, not his own.

I ask for prayer for myself that I might have godly parental wisdom and counsel when God provides the right opportunity. 11/9/09

Watch over all our nursing students as they enter the last half of the semester. Guide them when they stray, strengthen them when they are weak and embrace them when they hurt. Help them to stay focused on their dreams and build up the knowledge to fulfill them while serving You. Give encouragement to those who feel overwhelmed and help them to reach out to each other so no one feels alone in the journey. Pour out your grace and blessings on these beautiful souls who have chosen this career of caring for others. Especially guide our S1 and S2s who look ahead to what is next in their lives. May they seek your guidance and counsel to discern the direction you have for them. All this we ask in Jesus Christ's name. Amen. 10/26/09
