“I have a prayer request I need to share. You know Tim and Nancy? They are having some marital problems right now and need some prayer. And you know their daughter isn’t going to graduate high school. She drinks so much and runs with that goth crowd. She’s a mess, but bless her heart. I think they’re going to go to counseling but money is tight because of Nancy’s shopping habit. Their credit debt is just out of control. I’m really concerned and as a close friend I just want to lift them up in prayer.”
(Thanks go out to Pastor Jeff for the suggestion of this gossip prayer topic.)
