Please pray for these people

Wow. I didn't know alot could go on in a short amount of time. I have very sad news. A teacher, who wasn't mine but was always friendly and cheerful to me in the hallways, lost his poor 6 year old daughter 12:12 AM today. She was a victim of cancer I believe. Please pray for him and his family.

Please pray for my cousin, whose mistake will haunt her for the rest of her life. She had gotten pregnant about a year ago and had given birth to her baby a few months back. She had another baby, but the poor thing died before it was introduced to the world. The father will not take some responsibility for his child, but still leads her into temptation. She still smokes and is dranking, and has constant arguements with her mother (my aunt), on some occassions, stealing from her. Please, pray for her to become successful, make the right decisions, and move on with her life and perhaps make a good career and bring the family together..

Please pray for a friend of mine who had a confrontation with her mother, but feels very remorseful and only wants to hear her mother speak to her again. She didn't mean for it to happend, but she cried in Bible study today and I want to help her.

And please pray for me. I cannot lie. But I feel an animosity towards my little brother. He had said something to me a while back, and I can't help but hold a long grudge against him. The bitterness has grown so much that I dread his presence in the house. Please pray for him, because he is making the wrong decisions in life on who he hangs around with, who has influenced him to become spoiled, rebellious, arrogant, and have him picked up language and an attitude which he believes will make him sound cool, but only hurt him in the long run.

I have alot going on ever since last year, and I feel an overwhelming sadness and often find myself crying at night. I really feel stressed and sad most of the time. But I don't want to tell my parents or friends abut this. The only person that knows about my feelings is my pastor, but I don't tell him as often. I pray to God, and I know he will comfort me, but my patience is becoming thin. I believe in him, but sometimes I question him. I don't like to do that. I want to build myself up again to have full trust and faith in God, because I know he can save me through the depths of my depression. A?nd I know he loves me, and always would, no matter what I do, where I go, or who I am or will and have become.

But I'm really lost and right now, I'm really sad abd really want comfort.

Draw close to God and God will draw close to you...

Wow, that's a big list, but not too big for God. I believe I will especially pray for you.

Please consider the role of forgiveness with respect to your feelings toward your brother. Forcing change of others is seldom effective, you just have to be an example, a rock, he can look to someday. In the meantime, if you have caused a rift, it's up to you to mend it. This will go a long way to removing some stress you don't need.

Note that seeking forgiveness does not mean you are agreeing with him or that his behavior is OK with you. It's more like coming to an understanding of the pain, seeking communication to better understand the problem, saying you are sorry (if you caused it), and then agreeing not to carry a grudge.
