Prayer

I am unsure how much I am able to blog with still respecting my family's privacy however I believe in prayer and the power it holds. I believe that there should be no shame in asking for prayer from God's people.

James 5:16
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."

My brother is in a place of desperation and pain. He is not a believer and at this point, is not open to even discussing God. As many of you know, He struggles with addictions, mental illnesses and has tried to take his own life many times. As a sister, I fear the end may be very very near.

I beg of you to please pray for the following things:

• That Austin would become open to the healing power of Christ and accept Him as Lord
  
• That my family would be able to turn to God in our times of worry, fear, and pain
• That no matter what happens, that ALL glory would be given to God
• For myself, and my witness to not only my brother but to my family
• For the Spirit of God to draw myself and my family nearer to Him through whatever the outcome may be

Please know that I write this only for prayer and hope that you readers will join me in praying.
