I almost didn't ask because it seems selfish. Something very disappointing happened tonight that made me feel pretty bad. It's certainly not the end of the world, and that's why I almost didn't ask for a prayer from my frens, because there are so many more important things going on than my little problem. But then I realized that is just the enemy trying to get me to dismiss my situation as inconsequential. It may not be all important, but it is important to me. So if you wouldn't mind sparing me a prayer that God lifts my feelings of pain and distress and blankets me in His comfort, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Heavenly Father, please comfort Gobby with your love that endures forever. Fill Gobby with the joy you have for him that he sees you at work in his life. Let him know that in this life we will have troubles, and disappointments, but we may rest in you, knowing that your son, Jesus, has overcome the world. Show Gobby the way forward from this heartache, that it be a stepping stone to a deeper understanding of you, and not a stumbling block that remains in his way. Shine your light into Gobby that it lifts his Spirit and brightens his world that others might also know who you are. I ask this in Jesus' Holy name, Amen.

Thank you. That is a very astute prayer and I appreciate that you considered it could be a stumbling block to me. I will have to watch carefully that I don't agonize too much so that it doesn't become one. Thank you, fren.
You are welcome!
