Please remember the poor and needy people during this Thanksgiving season. They might be someone you know like the elderly couple in your neighborhood or the single mother with her children or the single man who has no family and lives alone.

The reason that I am requesting this prayer is because we don't take the time to really know people. We are too engaged with our own lives that we don't see the needs of others. This is very true of Christians.

I am the single man who lives alone and no one is aware of my situation. I thank God that I have a full time job but when I get paid, I ask myself the same question: DO I PAY MY BILLS OR DO I BUY FOOD AND MEDICINE? I have been paying my bills but have no money to buy food or medicine. I haven't had any food in my home for several weeks. I have not told anyone about my situation because I am ashamed and embarrased to ask for help.

All that I am asking is that God would provide an answer to my prayers and that He will meet my needs for His daily bread. We live in a great country but we can't even take care of our own citizens who need help. Please open your eyes and see the needs of other people who are crying out for help.

God gave me a new life five years ago after Hurricane Katrina killed all of my family and my home was destroyed by 15 feet of water. God brought me to Texas and gave me a new beginning. I thank God for delivering me and for His restoring me tenfold. PRAISE YOU, JESUS!

During this Thanksgiving season, talk to someone you don't know, invite them to church, or tell them about Jesus and most of all, take the time to listen to others. Remember, it's not what we say; it's what we don't say that speaks volumes.

I will be praying for your needs and I thank you for taking time to read my prayer request.
