Every week at House Church we ask for prayer requests before we all pray together. We often talk about who is currently sick and pray for everything from the little boy with the fever to the woman in the hospital with typhoid, the little boy who fell off the toilet & has a cut on his head to the man who survived a nearly-catastrophic roof fall at work. We pray for safe travels, mostly for Stephen & I and Kelvin & Laura—the people with passports who can travel legally—and a few neighbors’ trips to Burma to see family. Every week they ask us to pray for “money”—which we are trying to turn into God providing for all our needs…
Last week, we asked if there was anything else we could pray for, for the kids moms & dads or in their homes. One of the little boys raised his hands and asked if we could pray for the fighting to stop, because there is lots of fighting in the homes & community.
Oh, honey, yes. That is my prayer. Sometimes I pray it selfishly because I just don’t want to go to the hospital with a bloody patient. But, oh, yes—we will pray for peace in these homes! We will pray for an end to the fighting!
Please pray with us.
Jesus, please save {Burma}
Please bring an end to all this fighting
Jesus, please save {Burma}
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Thank you for sharing this post as it touches my heart personally…I grew up in a home with LOTS of bad fighting and so my heart goes out to that boy, and the probability of many more like him, who feel the pain and anguish and terror of living in such an environment. I am glad that you shared this part so that I can pray for the fighting to stop too. I know how his little heart aches for peace, and I think it’s fair to say that we all do too.
Heart wrenching isn’t it….
We are praying for you and America-Joeleen & Joel
