It's okay! I care!
I first want to say that there nothing selfish about asking for prayer at any time! We want to pray for you. Please, grant me the priviledge of praying for you! It's the best thing we can do to support one another.
I am praying that the Lord will lift the burden of depression off your shoulders and wake your friends up to the very upsetting behavior. And if that's not his will, I'm praying that he'll give you a few new and wonderful friendships. Either way, God will provide.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
