A Prayer for the Challenged

Also Read

It's weighing heavy on me. It's all I can think
about, night and day. Before I bring it to you in
prayer, I suppose I should pray for those who are
less fortunate than me----- those in this world who have barely enough food for this day, and those who don't have a roof over their heads
at night.


I also pray for families who have lost loved ones
in sudden death, for parents whose children have leukemia, for the many people who are dying of brain tumors,for the hundreds of thousands who are laid waste with other terrible cancers, for people whose
bodies have been suddenly shattered in car wrecks, for those who are lying in hospital with agonizing burns over their bodies, whose faces have been burnt beyond recognition.


I pray for people with emphysema, whose eyes fill with terror as they struggle for every breath merely to live, for those who are tormented beyond words by irrational fears, for the elderly who are wracked with the pains of aging, whose only"escape" is death.
I pray for people who are watching their loved
ones fade before their eyes through the grief of
Alzheimer's disease, for the many thousands
who are suffering the agony of AIDS, for those
who are in such despair they are about to commit suicide, for people who are tormented by the demons of alcoholism, and drug addiction.


I pray for children who have been abandoned by
their parents, for those who are sexually abused, for wives held in quiet despair, beaten and abused by cruel and drunken husbands, for people whose minds have been destroyed by mental disorders, for those who
have lost everything in floods, tornadoes, hurricanes,and earthquakes.


I pray for the blind, who never see the faces of the ones they love, or the beauty of a sunrise, for those whose bodies are horribly deformed by painful arthritis, for the many whose lives will be taken from
them today by murderers, for those wasting
away on their deathbeds in hospitals.


Most of all, I cry out for the millions who don't
know the forgiveness that is in Jesus Christ.... for
those who in a moment of time will be swept into
Hell by the cold hand of death, and find to their utter horror the unspeakable vengeance of eternal fire. They will be eternally damned to everlasting punishment. O God, I pray for them. Strange, I can't seem to remember what my problem was. In Jesus name I pray,Amen."
write Amen, pray for them too, share. God bless
you as you pray for others!
