My stepson in South Korea is in need of prayers. His duties are teaching English to small children. They are quite vociferous and can be unruly. There is much speaking. He gets hoarse in his throat. He has many emotional challenges. His "in country" presence is compromised by the strange (to him) customs. He is a Christian who has attended three years of bible college. He feels called to evangelist and he has a prophetic ministry. He has many opportunities to be tested by the worldly vices of Korea as there are many bars and bar girls. He has no friends who are Christian, so many of his acquaintances at the college are always hitting on him to follow them. He tries to live by the word. He tries to be faithful.

3Jo 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

Please lift him up.

Yes, of course. How difficult it is to be on your own working out your salvation!

Prayers going up... sounds like a challenge and I'm so proud of him for keeping on. Love in him, Rose

Lord I lift up my brother James. Lord, help him to hold fast. Help him to follow your ways. Send him a friend Lord. Help him keep a good attitude. Help him to think eternally.

Father, we thank you for the righteous prayers of a father for his children. Lord we agree with our brother reguarding these prayer requests. Surround his son with songs of deliverence, and enable him to effectively minister to those around him and bring the light of the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ to the lost and dying in Korea. We thank you in the name above all names, Jesus.

Temptation...? No friends?

My son is depressed...Surrounded by Christian friends in a Christian college...

He called last night and woke me out of a dead sleep...He doesn't know how he's going to live his life always feeling troubled....

I talked and talked and talked.....

I guess we should have prayed...I'll call him this morning...

Help Larry's son too l pray Lord...Us older ones are weather worn and aren't as susceptible to the elements as those small plants...protect them we pray Father..in Jesus name.

I know when plants are moved out of a greenhouse they need protection until they acclimate. They call it hardening...

Your exposure to the elements has hardened you to the attacks of inclement wearther too Your analogies are Christlike.
