Prayer Request

As a general rule, I am not prone to making prayer for complete strangers and drastic world events a high priority. As the number of natural disasters and weather related fatalities has piled up over the past few months, I have been more convicted by that failing. As Christians, I believe we are called to have compassion for all people, and getting desensitized by modern media does not excuse us from this. If you have a minute (and you clearly do, or you wouldn't be browsing the blog) bow your head and pray for the families suffering in the aftermath of the Myanmar cyclone, the earthquake in South China, and closer to home, the victims of the recent storms and tornadoes in our own backyard. God does not need to hear our prayer to care for those who are suffering, but perhaps we need to do the praying in order to do the same.
