So my brother preached tonight at our youth service. It was a great message, and it was definitely from the Lord. I’m so proud of my big little brother! After he gave the word, there was an opportunity to spend some time in prayer. I chose to go to the altar to ask God to teach me to love people like He loves me. A huge request, I know. But I’m such an imperfect person, I figure God will probably answer that prayer gradually over time. So I ought to continue to pray for that love.

After that, we took some time to pray for one another. I prayed for a friend and classmate of mine, then my brother prayed for me. I am so grateful for his prayer! I won’t share its subject — it was rather personal — but I’m glad to have such a great brother.
