I am trying to start something new... again. Now my blog will be featuring a new post every month dedicated to prayer. The point of the post will be for friends and strangers alike to post prayer requests of all kinds. If you'd like me to include you and your whims, desires, and needs in my prayers just leave a post.
The imputus for this new project is my new vigor to become a more disciplined and habitual prayer. My Principles of Sanctification class has something to do with this, and so do the experiences of my life in the last year. In fact, one of my most persistant prayers is the request to be forged into a more dedicated prayer.
In the extended entry I will type up a list of things that I will be praying for throughout the month. I don't know if I will add to this via the comments or by just editing the post -- we'll see.
So, without further explanations here is a list of some of the things that I will be praying for in the month of October.
Discipline in prayer
Success on my mid-terms
A new job or two
Safe travel to Naples with my friends
Megan Arnold and Tonio Bianca
300 & 301 girls
Repentance from my habitual sins
Getting to class on time
Maintaining a good sleep schedule
Discipline with my work-outs
Smooth time asking Joy's parents for Joy's hand in marriage
Perseverance
OK, now this reminds me of what this list is also about. I haven't developed my ability to remember all the things that are important to me when I am praying or even considering my prayer requests. Having a list may help with that.

I could use some prayer in how I've been feeling recently. Just pray that God would grant me a loving joyful heart.
Aaron is starting a bible study and needs some prayer on God's direction for that. He wants to do Isaiah but he's not sure what exactly God wants him to do.

Some of my prayers have already been answered in the affirmative!
I have a job or two.
I have been waking up every morning at 7AM without an alarm. It's uncanny.
I've gotten to my classes on time, but I need more of a track-record with this. Could be just a coincidence after all.
OK, that is all. I have to go take my first mid-term soon, so hopefully I have good news with that soon too.
