A Prayer for a Friend

My heart is hurting today over a high school friend and teammate of mine that has made some bad decisions. It has cost him his marriage and currently his relationship with God.

Why do we allow ourselves to be overcome by the thought of a little excitement in our lives? Why do we want something that we know will hurt us in the long run? Why do we fall for the temptation and sin and know it’s wrong?

I am so appreciative that I have a Heavenly Father that watches over me. I am so blessed that I have a wife who loves me for who I am and accepts all my faults. I am so glad I have two boys that put up with a dad who often doesn’t understand how it is being young and growing up. I am thankful I have a church family who encourages me and prays for me on a daily basis.

Please pray for my friend Bill today. He needs God back in his life. He needs to remember his first love.

“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires” (2 Peter 1:3-4)
