    Thank you so much, Bob!

    I have been praying and praying all weekend.

    Your prayer contains such a thorough list. I will pray it regularly in hope of not leaving anyone out. (Although I know God knows my heart and the Afghani's need, so he would leave no one out, I would still like to lift them in prayer.

    This post helps. Thank you!
