We pray a lot these days as a family. In part for our own families, and in part for others. There are times where the prayer list seems heavy. Where sometimes all we ask is that God be with our list. For we have to remember that all we can offer sometimes is our prayers, and let God do the rest. We live in a hurting world, with many different types of needs and struggles. There are things we can at times do to help, aside from just prayer. When we can do those things, we should; just as we are called to. When things are out of our hands however, we must call on God in prayer, and trust His control. 

Friend, I see a lot of prayer requests daily. We must continue to faithfully pray for one another and trust that God hears us. That He is faithful to help in the way that He knows is best. May we pray without ceasing. May we trust, even when we’re not always seeing the results right away. May we remember that we are loved beyond measure by God who is always in control. May we find our peace in Him, as we wait in prayer. May we find our hope in knowing, that He is a faithful God. For not one prayer goes unheard or unanswered. We must keep the faith and trust in His time and His way. For it is in prayer where we can find peace, knowing that God, has control. Knowing that God loves us more than we can even fathom. It is in the wisdom of His love where we can see, His plan. We must just stay in prayer and hang tight to His promises.
