Sorry this comment comes late. I understand where your coming from and I am so glad you posted your thoughts. I do want you to know that there are some of us who did ask your mom those things and have prayed much for her. Our assembly used to pray for her when your father was so ill. Please note that I still ask about her often when we're in Springfield and in OKC. I do wish we could sit down and have a good visit with her even now. <BR/><BR/>It may be true that your assembly doesn't pray that frequently for women, but I woud venture to say that they have at times. Regardless, I do think that the prayer that goes before the throne of grace at any chapel is only a very small fraction of the prayers that go up from individuals. As you said women are the backbone of the meeting. We as women feel things, have certain intuition that men don't and pray more about personal emotional hardships as a whole. Actually, not ever being inside the head of a man I really can't make acurate comparisons. But, I do feel that the prayer of the women is one of our greatest responsibilities. <BR/><BR/>All this to say, if you see a lack God would have you pray about it and encourage (not complain to) the men to consider their need to be more aware of it. Maybe you could suggest before a meeting, I was burdened for so and so today and was wondering if we could bring her up for prayer?<BR/><BR/>I trust your doing well. Praying for you too. Haven't heard from you for awhile.

No comments? Did you get any personally? I ...Wow. No comments? Did you get any personally? I pray for you from time to time and your Mom wondering how she is doing. I do pray for Peter and John but I've actually lost all connections with you, so I don't really know. I do pray for women at our local meetings as well as their husbands - especially when they have a few kids at home. I'm one of ten and I know everyone can't be angelic all the time. I wasn't even close! I even pray publicly for protection from the evil one in my relationship with LuAnn - too many in leading positions have stumbled and I don't want us to be among them. If I were you, pray about your concerns about how men pray and pray the Holy Spirit would move them to pray for the women as well, but don't neglect to pray for the needs for women you are aware of.
