As I was browsing through HSB today, I came across lots of prayer requests. I want to share them with you, but I also have a burden on my heart.
I know the holidays are supposed to be an exciting time of the year meant for celebration. But not everyone has something to celebrate. I have a burden for those who are hurting, especially during this time of the year. Those who have no hope, no joy, and no peace. Those who know that there has to be something more to life, but they just can't find it. They don't even know where to look. People need the Lord, and we need to show those who are hurting that they can find hope, joy and peace, in the Lord Jesus Christ. . I pray that God will use this season to minister to those who are hurting and lost. Let us be the light of Christ and make a difference to those who are suffering.
