I have enjoyed posting weekly updates on the blog. But I’ve felt the need to integrate my hobbies into my life. If a hobby is cut off from other parts of life, it will more likely be discarded during difficulties.

Amid the academics in the seminary, I usually find time to pray, usually with the religious community and sometimes by myself. Prayer has kept me sane during the hectic semester.

My prayer intentions to God have been for personal needs and for groups and other people I had met over the years.

But recently, I have thought: Is there people who need someone to pray for their loved ones, their colleagues, and even their own challenges? Maybe if I post these prayer requests, other people will take them up and pray for them. If we pray for each other, we lift each other and our needs to God.

I have decided to turn to you.

If you have a prayer request, fill out the contact form which can be found on the top menu bar (highlighted in blue).  In the subject drop-down box, choose “Monthly Prayer Request.”  Type your request under the Comment label.  (It looks like the text box is not there.  But it’s there.  Just click right below the label and the cursor will appear.)  If you have privacy concerns, please include only your first name.  I will post them on the first Wednesday of the month and update the list throughout the month. You will find the current list by clicking on “Monthly Prayer Requests” at the top menu bar (highlighted in red).

 Let’s pray for one another.
