Okay, and I'm specifically asking prayers for my health. Thank you!

And in gratitude, for those of you who have been praying along with the updates this month: The girls have gotten a good start to their new school years, and although Mr. Boy wishes the housing market would shift in his favor, personally the parents are genuinely enjoying having him home. So your prayers in those situations have all been answered very generously and we are grateful.

Please pray for my son in jail the past 6 weeks; for surrender to God's will in his life, for him and for us.

You bet!

Dear Lord Jesus, I pray for Margaret's son's safety. I pray that You will be close to him during his incarceration, and that you will help him to feel your Presence even when he is desolate. I pray for Margaret and for all the family, that You will guide them, comfort them, and show them the path You have planned for them which will, ultimately, bring You glory through their unfailing trust in You no matter how dark the days ahead should become. Amen.

Jennifer - It has been a year now, and I have clung to this prayer. Thank you! My son is in prison now, and will be there for a couple of years. I trust that he is in the Palm of God's hand, that he is right where he needs to be in order to HOLD STILL and LISTEN. Thank you so much. I copied your prayer and sent it to some trusted prayer partners. God bless you!

Margaret, thank you so much for updating. It's a privilege to be able to do even the smallest thing to help in such a difficult situation.

Feel free to post again your request to the general readership, as I know we have several dedicated intercessors who will check the comments there and get to work.
