Prayer for a Neighbor

So yesterday was the first time I ever sucked up my fear and went out and prayed for someone. My next door neighbor son is considered brain dead and so I went over there scared but strong to pray for him. I did not no the family, the friends, or even him. What I did know is that they are my neighbors and God loves them. If you know me you know I get scared when I pray aloud because I will stutter or I will get off track. But this time I did ok and I believe the holy spirit led me there to do this to over come my fear and to show love to my neighbor. I did not know if they even believed in Jesus or even wanted us to pray for him. When I had opened my eyes and looked up there where a group of people praying with me and it really felt good to now that I was not alone on this prayer. God also used a friend of mine Michael to get us there to pray for him. If he was not there we might not have made it to the room to pray for him and his family. I really was happy to be able to do this and share my love for God with others.
So I ask all who read this short blog to do the same and trust God will be there for you. Please pray for this family to be ok through all of this and for his son to grow up and be strong in the lord.
