I have a couple of things that I have been in prayer about this week for a couple of different people. Both of them asked me to lift up a request for them. While the requests were unspoken, I know that each of these individuals are seeking help and guidance for something very personal. One of them asked me for a verse they could meditate on while they pray and wait. Their words reminded me of what David said in Psalm 5:

Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

I am going to pray for my friends and lift up their requests each morning in the upcoming week. I fully expect the Lord will answer their prayers and meet their needs – whatever the situation may be. As I pray, I am going to give thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness and make some requests of my own for my family, my friends, and for people who are facing some difficult circumstances this week. I know some people who are readying themselves for career changes, some who are dealing with illnesses, and some who have lost loved ones recently. I will lay all those requests before the Lord and wait in expectation, because I know that He answers prayer. If you have a special request that you would like me to add to my list, just let me know. And as I pray, I will pray for you and I will wait expectantly for the Lord to answer.
