a prayer request

Most of you know that I have a teenaged son. He recently turned sixteen and is a sophmore at a christian school here. On Wednesdays, he has chapel with special speakers and so forth.

If you have a moment this day, would you mind lifting my son and his classmates up in your prayers?

I have so many concerns about the direction that his generation is turning, even with a "christian" education. I would ask that God tender Jonathan's heart and open his ears to His calling. That each one of them would have an obedient heart and a desire to serve God and not man. That our Father would give today's speaker the words and wisdom to touch each and every heart in that chapel.

Thank you from the bottom of this mother's heart. I so appreciate each and every one of you.

Before I type I am saying a prayer right now for each of them, especially Jonathan. Karen, our society is a strong influence and I am happy to pray against the evils in it to lure our children. It is so hard to be a parent, even when they are grown. My heart is with you, and for your son, particularly this day. Love you, Annette

You are such a great mom! I pray that some seeds were planted yesterday! I ran across Psalm 90 this morning and thought of you! How's it going? I told you I would keep asking!

Love you,
