August Prayer Challenge: Update #3

I’m finding that the best time for me to pray is in the car and in the shower, of all places. I’m not a silent prayer so I find it’s best for me to call out my prayer petitions. It’s not pretty and I often stumble over my words but I feel the need to get them out of my head and into the air.

Here are today’s petitions:

• My friend J, who lost her brother to a gun accident on Sunday. He was a father and a husband.
• All my friends who are step-parents. It is a thankless and unappreciated job to parent some else’s kid,  in particular with a co-parent who is difficult to deal with. I’ll be praying for softened hearts and reconciliations.
