Pray for me!

Yesterday when I arrived to our Community House, where we have Sunday worship cell. There was a boy waiting to talk to me. He pulled me aside and said "You have to pray for me right now!" This boy is 14 and often seems tuned out during spiritual discussions we have during worship or cell group, but here he was desperate for some prayer. It turns out he had a situation at school where he had a physical altercation with a teacher and is facing a suspension of 10 days for pushing past a teacher. He was hungry but was 2 minutes late for entering the breakfast room at school so was told to wait for lunch. He gets that there was a better way to handle the situation but now faces a 10 suspension. That being said after we had prayed I thanked God for having such a privilege ... to be available for a young man that wanted to pray so bad.

He already had been praying all weekend himself but he said he remembered that he learned in cell group that if you prayed with other people it made the prayers stronger. I guess he has been listening.

I have the best job in the world.

You can join us in praying for Brandon.
