Landis loves to pray. He is VERY creative and HONEST.I'll let you imagine what that means.
On Wednesdays, we do Pray for Me... Pray for Others to help build the sense of community for our readers.
Because we are blessed with a large community of readers, we know you most likely can't pray for every single need or person on this list, especially as it grows. But by looking over this list on Wednesdays... all of us can pray as God leads us and we can believe that each need is being prayed for. This particular feature is near to the heart of my dear wife, so you can know she will be praying for you.
Pray for Me... Pray for Others is pretty simple:
- List a short prayer request for YOU, and a link for more detail if needed.
- Then submit a prayer request for someone else, or some other situation that you know about. Include a link for them if available. Be specific.
For example, I might request that people pray for Abby's healing, and link to our blog. Then I could request prayer for a family that we know who's sister was very seriously injured in a car wreck, and link you over to their blog.
Be specific... provide a link for more information. I'm sure that other people will be VERY blessed to have you request prayer for them, and include a link to their blog so that those praying can visit them.Questions? This is the first week, so if you have suggestions or feedback to make this work better, don't hesitate to email me: brent@brentriggs.com
Our Requests:
We ask you to pray for Abby's comfort and healing. She is beginning to get the sores from the chemo toxicity and this historically is the most difficult and dangerous time for her.
We ask you to pray for Tuesday's family as they mourn her passing but celebrate her homecoming with Jesus.
We ask you to pray for the family of Hannah who relapsed with Leukemia. If you haven't been through this it's hard to describe the helpless devastating feeling of having already been through this nightmare, gotten past it, then find out you have to do it again.
Pray for Me... Pray for Others - Instructions:- Use the form below to enter your prayer requests. You must enter an "identity", and put something in at least one of the "pray for me" or "pray for others" in order to be included (links to blogs are not required).
- If you link to YOUR blog, please include the following HTML in a post on your blog so that we can create a linked network of prayers (your link will allow others to find us, and be able to participate; make sure you are in HTML mode when pasting this code).
- Put out an email or post on your blog and encourage everyone you know to come and join us in prayer.
- Look over the list and pray as God leads. Come back and visit the list two or three times today as it will grow all day long.
Remember... if you don't take the time to pray for others, then on what basis can you really expect God to lead others to pray for you? I created this with "community" in mind - pray for you, pray for me, pray for others - so that we are both giving and receiving as a community which is far more spiritually productive than simply wanting everyone to pray on our behalf.
Truth is, many people do not have a community they can ask for prayer. We hope to become that community for them.
Let me know if you have suggestions or questions about Pray for Me... Pray for Others. If this is a blessing to you, please leave a comment and let us all know.

This is so wonderful. Thank you! I will stop by tonight to pray for all of these wonderful people. (and of course the Riggs family)
Father God, you see the requests that have come before you, and we know that you are in control. We thank you and praise you for answered prayers according to your word and your will. Thank you for your promise of mercy, strength, and provision for all of your children. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!
I love the sense of community where we can pray for others!!!
