Yep!
I can tell you that trust in God and petitioning our Almighty God thru the avenue of prayer CHANGES things. My son is a prodigal son, away from the Lord in his life right now, and WAS dating a former bi-sexual african american liberal woman. We were praying hard that this relationship would end and after MUCH prayer they broke up in December, neither one being a Christian in their personal walks. So, I speak from the heart and KNOW that God desires His people to come to Him with ALL their needs and desires and lay those requests before Him.
