Prayers going up for Matthew now.
Thank you for your prayers in the past for Matthew - the teen who went missing over a year ago. He is now in trouble and much in need of our prayers again as posted before. Thank you specifically for praying since this prayer request went up. Matthew believes God spoke to him directly - and told him not to be afraid, that God was with him and he would be all right! Matthew's mom was stunned to hear him say this - because it is not the way Matthew usually talks. But things are desperate enough - that I have no doubt God has responded to the many pray-ers on Matthew's behalf and let Matthew know directly that he was not alone.
Please pray for Matthew's protection, safety, and security until things that are going on now are fully and completely worked out for the very best for him - as soon as possible.
Pray for God's presence to stay with Matthew and for him to keep his cool and for a the actions going on right now on his behalf will work out in the best possible way for him. Pray for Matthew to stay near to Jesus Christ through it all and to follow Him to do what God has for him in his life......and for Matthew's parents to be given grace to see him through all this.
