Lord Jesus, we know you gave us free will. We know we so often walk in disobedience to your will. Father, we thank you that you are always near and ready to help us endure our circumstances and the results of our sin.

Today while praying for Gary and Steven, I felt you had the following to say.

Gary - you are in the dark, darkness surrounds you and calls out to you, but look - look, there is a tiny light that glows - which the darkness cant put out. Seek the light and allow it to grow into a flame. You are where you need to be for now - but GOD has a plan.

Steven - grow in God, seek him in all you do. Write it down, spread the light and be support to others for God can use you where you are.

Lord Jesus, I also ask for you to work in the lives of those who pray for these men - their Mother's grant them strength and courage to get through this. Comfort these Mothers as they pray.

AMEN
