Challenge in Patience update 1 - Still praying!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
     "16 Rejoice always,17 pray continually,18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

It's now been one month since I started praying for "my five", as I've dubbed them. I've noticed a pattern in my prayer. I still tend to leave two of the people off of my list, I'll fall asleep before I get to them or something will distract me. I'm not sure if this means that these particular people are "less worrisome" or if the Devil is purposely distracting me from them. I have made an effort to pray for them in the last several days.

Updates, I'm super excited to report that witnessing has happened to two of my five! My husband was able to sit down with them and have a great conversation about Religion vs. Relationship and I'm excited to say they were both somewhat open to the idea! God is working in these peoples lives and I'm so excited to be a part of that. I pray for them daily that another chance will open up and conversations can be had with them.

I haven't "seen" any other results that I know of, but I do know that I can keep praying and that mighty things can happen through those prayers! God can do awesome things and I know that He has big things planned for these five individuals as well! GO GOD, GO!

Here is to the next month in praying, after all what good is a Challenge in Patience if I'm not participating in it?
