Prayer

Prayer-
Pray for a brother in Christ, for he needs your words. He is has been on top of a mountain with God and has experienced his glory as only it can be on Earth with other believers. But as time passes and that moment grows farther away, so to seems to grow the distance between God and his son. The young man is losing ground on the mountain as an avalanche of sin and temptation and things only of the world and Satan begin to tear him down. Old habits strike fear in his heart as his flesh yearns for their old comforts. His heart recoils in pain and Satan only strikes deeper. The soul cries out for mercy and for protection from the God that allows him to suffer like this. He searches for answers, for a way out and a way to return to that mountain top. As wave after wave of attack from Satan push him to the edge, the breaking point. He bows down and tears burning down his face into the grit and dirt of what his life has become wash away the shroud over his eyes. He sees what he must do. He folds each hand within the other and closes his eyes to a calming void. Within this peace he asks a God he cannot feel to save him, to re-arm him, to bring him back to a peace where Satan cannot reach him any longer. Then he asks of his brothers and sisters, to make that same plea to God for him, because he cannot go without their fellowship and support. Prayer is his only hope now. It is his only chance for him to be restored to that peace in God he so desperately needs. So pray for this brother. Prayer for this young man. For he is a friend and needs your help now. Pray for me. Because without your prayer I don't know if I will be able to battle off these attacks.
