Praying




This great truth is brought especially near to our heart when we realize how attentive He is, not merely to the passing interests of His creatures, but to their spiritual concerns. Though vast distances lie between the finite creature and the infinite Creator, yet there are links uniting both. When a tear is wept by you, do not think that God does not see it; for "As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him." Your sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah; your whisper can incline His ear to you; your prayer can stay His hand; your faith can move His arm. Do not think that God sits on high taking no account of you. Remember that however poor and needy you are, still the Lord thinks of you. "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him." Oh! then repeat the truth that never tires; No God is like the God my soul desires; He at whose voice heaven trembles, even He, Great as He is, knows how to stoop to me.
-Spurgeon's Morning & Evening

I am a bit puzzled. I see the same guy on Hullabaloo's blog. Is he a cardboard cutout? Whose significant other is he? Or is he being fought over as we speak?

Cho, bro, the girls both have pictures of that guy because he needs prayer. He has a terminal and incurable disease.
This is not j otis merster riting.

Wow, somehow I did not catch that. He looks like a vibrant handsome kid, and I would never guess that about him.

Thank you for sharing and his need for prayer.

Yeah...he was healthy in those pictures. He is really sick now. Please keep him in your prayers. He is very young and the doctors day death is imminent. He is a dear friend--his name is Greg.
