Prayer Requests

The past month in Honduras has been harder on all of us than usual. Situations outside of our control have caused a lot of stress, anxiety, and loss of sleep for many of the teachers at my school. My intent is not to worry any of you because obviously we have no need to fear {Isaiah 41:13 says: "For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."}, but I am asking that you take a minute right now to pray for me and my friends/coworkers. Specific prayer requests:

1.) Pray for rest and energy as we are all running low on both. I have not been able to sleep through the night for about 4 nights now and it is starting to affect the quality of my work as a teacher.

2.) Pray for the strength to deal with students. We are in the last partial of school and students really don't want to be here. The temperature keeps rising in the classrooms and everyone is on a short fuse.

3.) Pray we are able to rely fully on God in all situations instead of trying to work through things on our own or doubting the awesome faithfulness and protection of Him.

4.) Finally, I ask that you pray for the broken, hurting people in Honduras. God is continually laying them on my heart and I need people to join in prayer with me. I feel so guilty every time I think about going back to the states to visit because it hits me that they can't just pick up and leave when things get tough in our little 3rd world country. This is their life, not just a 2-3 year adventure they get the opportunity to experience.

Thank you in advance for the prayers and support. It means more to me than you will ever know.
