Praying for a Struggling New Christian: Seeking God Amidst Life's Challenges

[Chef Kearns]

You guys may remember my "best show ever" where my host got saved at the end of the night. Well, like some new Christians do, she's struggling. She hasn't yet been to church and I'm not sure she's reading her bible. Her life was out of control before and now it is not a whole lot better and she doesn't seem to realize that the answers lie with God. Her heart wants to stay home with her babies, but she is the main breadwinner for her family. Her husband never graduated college and his job is good, but has an inconsistent pay schedule (car mechanic he somehow works on a sales commission base). We talked alot, but she can't see passed her problems.

She also just found out she's pregnant again. This was an unwanted (unplanned) pregnancy. She is very excited about it (she wants to have 6 or 7 babies), but her husband is pissed! After she was saved and there was peace in the home for awhile is when she got pregnant. Now there is the tension again. They also just got over a cancer scare with her husband (turns out it was an infected gland or something). She is stressed. She is burdened. She is not looking toward God.

Please pray for the Lord to reveal himself to her in a way she cannot ignore. He wants her. He drew near to her and she accepted Him. Please pray for angels to stay incamped around the babies Jenna (age 3), Carter (age 16 mos) an the new baby. Please pray that she craves the word and fellowship with other Christians. Please pray for the salvation of her husband.

Thank you, mighty prayer warriors!! To God be the glory. Praise Him. Thank you Jesus!!
