Ha-Young, Ye-Young, Eui-Sup, Jung-Won, In-Sook, and Eun-Tae, please pray for us and for all those who pray for us. Most people, after reflecting on what has happened in their lives, often use their own logic and focus on what they are satisfied with, saying that "God did this for me" or "this was God's will." I don’t deny these things, but the Bible teaches that before God acts according to His will, He first speaks to those He has chosen and loves. In John 14:29, Jesus tells His disciples that He speaks to them beforehand so that when things happen, they might believe. The Bible also clarifies that faith is not for everyone, and it is something we can only receive if God grants it to us. In Ezekiel 36, it says that God removes our stony hearts "from our flesh" before giving us a new spirit. He gives us a new heart and His Spirit so that we may live according to His commandments. Jesus also said, "My words are spirit, and he who keeps My commandments, he who loves Me, will be loved by Me, and I will manifest Myself to him." And His commandment is this: "Love one another." In conclusion, believing in Him and obeying His commandments depends entirely on God. He speaks to those He loves before things happen, and all blessings come from Him to those who ask. Pray that God will grant us the following: "Take our stony hearts from us and speak to us directly with Your own mouth; bring to pass all that You have decreed in our lives, so that we may see what You have done and believe what You said from the beginning; and help us all to keep Your commandments and make our dwelling with You."

Please pass this along to a prayer warrior or elder who would be blessed to pray fervently for me: Please pray God have mercy on me, heal my body, mind and heart completely and grant my heart's desire for a husband. Pray God not forget about me and watch over his word to perform/hasten it concerning me. (Jer. 1:12) Pray for breakthrough and mountains moved. Pray God's will be done in all things concerning an upcoming wedding I'm going to, that God provide, that I would not despair. Pray for faith, hope and love. Pray all paths be made straight and for deliverance and freedom. Pray God restore and redeem and remove despair, anger and frustration. Pray God have compassion on me and lift me up.

I don’t have a relationship with my adopted mom at all anymore. My family has pure hatred for me for giving opinions and truth about rough situations in my youth. My mom is in her 70s. I only found out by viewing one of those family members Facebook accounts recently that my mom has been in and out of the hospital and recently had a stroke. She is now going in to a nursing home and I just don’t believe she is going to get much farther than that. She’s been going through a lot.

Prayer for a safe trip and a healthy one

That over the next week that I can be brave and confident and share God with everyone I meet.
