Please pray that my relationship with God to be restored. For more than a year now I have grown really distant to God. I don't read the Bible anymore, I am not praying and I don't seek Him out. For the past five months I have gotten into a relationship with a woman in my church and though we have not slept together we have fallen into sexual sin in regards to touching each others bodies. Last night I put an end to our relationship because I have asked her if she would be interested in getting married soon but she wants to wait a year and a half to graduate college and than find a stable job. I personally don't have the money to buy a house now and I am a single dad who lives with my five year old son. I am 30 years old and she is 21. I had my son before I came to Christ and I have told her that I don't feel like I can be in a relationship so long and not want to be intimate. I don't want to cause her to sin and I know that God is not pleased with us. I believe that either this is not the right time for me to look for someone or she is not the one but either way if I am not going to get married than I should not be in a relationship because I am weak in the flesh. I have also fallen into the sin of lust when I am alone. Please pray that God will restore my relationship with Him and cleanse me and also pray for the sister I was involved with because I know that she is hurt. She agreed that we should both seek out God and see if maybe God will open a door for us to be Married or reveal another path for us. Also please pray that God will heal her of Sickle Cell Anemia and of Lupus, her name is Nicky. I have also not tithed twice this year and I feel really convicted I dont' know how to make it up to God. I have asked for forgiveness and I have the money to make it up to Him but I don't know how. Please pray that God will guide me to make this up in a way that is not legalistic. I don't know if I should just tithe it to the church or give an offering or just keep tithing faithfully and forget about those two times. I would also like to ask you to pray for me at my job because I recently asked my boss about a raise that he promised me over six months ago but it did not go through. He told me he would look into it. I want to ask you to pray for God to shine His favor over me at my job and also that He will guide me to be the best employee I can be to honor Him. I pray that God will save my VP, the COO and the CEO of my job. Also my son is going to be off of school this summer and I have not found who to watch him for me during the day yet. I want to ask for prayer in finding him a place to spend the days while I am at work that is a Christian home and or has a good Christian influence. I also want you to pray for God to guide me in making the right decision as to where I am to live and also to help me get through this semester at school. I want to ask that you would also pray for an Arabic Muslim family I have been praying would come to Christ, they are the Masri Family and they consist of the Father, Mother, 5 brothers three sisters, one uncle and his wife who have two boys and 5 girls. I want to pray for them and the kids wives and children also that Christ would reveal Himself to them and save them. I want you to pray for my son's mother also that she would come to Christ that God would bless her and her new baby as well as her significant other and that her family would come to Christ. I also want God to touch her heart to spend more time with my son. I want you to pray for my son that God will be with Him and raise him up for His glory. I want to ask that you would pray for my Father who God is healing of Cancer and also for my Mother who is struggling with her walk with Christ. Also for my sister and her husbands marriage to be strengthened and for my brother who lives with his children's mother. He is not with Christ and I want him to be saved. I pray in Jesus holy and almighty name that this request will press upon your heart and you will pray so that God can miraculously work in my life and the lives of those around me.

Father, I lift up this young man's prayers. I come into agreement with him and remind you that whenever two or more agree as touching anything you are in their midst. I pray that you will show this young couple if you have really chosen for them to be together, that you would open doors that you would have opened and shut doors that you would have shut.

I lift up the muslim family to you and I agree in prayer for their salvation. It is your will that all will be saved, that none shall parish.

Abbie thank you so much for your prayer!!! May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and always keep you close to Him.

thank you for your prayers they really mean a lot to me and this week has been a really good week in regards to prayer and reading the Bible. I am so grateful for the body of Christ and the support you guys have given me.

Father, thank You for being The Greater One who is in this believer than he who is in the world. Holy Spirit give him wisdom, strength and teach him all things. Give him much peace that You are with him and that You are taking him from Glory to Glory. Jesus, You are the author and the Finisher of his faith. You will see him through all things.

Ephesians 3 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Jesus loves you so much, get that down on the inside of you and let it work from the inside out. He will never leave you alone without the help you need. All things are gonna work together for your good because you love Him. Let that be your guiding truth. God bless you and keep you and make His wonderful face to shine upon you and give you peace and give you favor. Shalom
