My ever growing prayer wall

I am the person who has post it notes all next to my bed along my bookcase with prayer requests of friends and family, and ones of my own.

I realized there is so much going on in the lives of those I love and care about. I have a dear friend struggling with falling back into depression, others in my life not having God being #1 in their life, unsaved friends and family, my mom to get better from after being in the hospital, a friend who survived a severe car accident and is having brain surgeries and feels hopeless. I have a brother who is rebelling-- with the possibility of receiving counsel from a "youth pastor" who is stepping out of bounds and not giving the most sound words of wisdom; I have roommates and myself struggling with finances and friends as well. I have a friend who has had a bad case of mono for over two months... the list seems so endless... and then I add on my prayers and anxiety for jobs. Today, I had a phone interview for a position in San Diego, and it turned out to not be for me because of false advertisement when I applied. So, I guess that is not for me.

So with a wall full of prayers and doing all I can to trust God to take care of it... it is so disheartening to see so much prayer needed where people are feeling hopeless, depressed, stressed.... I sit waiting to hear praise reports of these prayers being answered. Not that I am trying to rush God.... I just wish out of ALL those prayers.... something would have a conclusion... or rather a resolution. Continuing to pray for a struggling church and a youth pastor friend of mine who was told the church could no longer afford his salary and he has a family to support and is working graveyard shifts, and that is not enough. All these things.... and it seems like the enemy is working to discourage and he is lacking subtlety and yes it could be worse.

Prayer requests:
The ones above for sure

My Aunts' dad is having surgery Oct 14 for a tumor that is cancerous

Jobs (still waiting on the winery in Paso)-- God has opened opportunities for temporary living if I were to return home, if the job does come to pan out. This is great while I am saving for a couple months and looking for the right housing for me.

My friend dealing with loneliness and has a history with depression (she is a Christian so she knows where to turn :))

Another person who has not made God a priority for awhile and seems depressed and empty. Lacking motivation and drive to move forward, dropping all responsibilities. God to break them so that they will rely on God first and foremost.

Praise Reports
My headaches are going away almost. Haven't had one for two days! God is good.
