CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

i'd like to lift up my friend matt in prayer. i grew up with the kid, but we both kinda fell outta touch after he transfered schools. in short, id really like to see him delivered from alcholholism [probally butchered the word], and would like to also pray for oppertunities to try to help him get back into a church. hes like me in the sense that we both wenta Christian schools most of our lives, but he ended up running into some bad company and kinda drug him down .. its also kinda lame that i have to ask this, but please pray that when i run into matt again that i maintain a firm witness and dont compromise my beliefs for the sake of awkward momments. its hard to be a "light" when a person from your past knows your old crap. also, id like to lift up his brother, tony. he got married a couple of years ago and has kids .. and i guess is developing a nasty addiction to coke. that stuff tears apart familys, so Ive been praying that God deliver the guy and get bring his attention back to him by whatever means. i know i dont know anybody here, but this feels like a legit board of believers, and any extra prayers would be incredibly awesome. thanks you guys.

No problem man.

I'm sorry to hear that a few of your friends have taking a wrong path that involves drugs and/or alcohol. I'll pray that you remain a good presence in their lives, and that the Lord uses you for whatever he needs you for. Fact is, your friends made some mistakes that may end up hurting them more. Try to help the best you can, such as having a serious chat or reassuring them that you care for them and want to help. whatever it may be... but make sure they don't try and drag you down too.

Anwyays, I'll keep you, and your two friends in my prayers. Take care man, hope to see you around the boards.

I will pray, Josh. I know it's hard to see a loved one get involved into stuff like this.

will pray

Absolutely. I'll pray for both of them, and for you in witnessing to your friend.
