[__ Prayer __] FRAMED!

[raven_nightbreeze]

let me start out y saying...NO...i'm not the one who was framed. let me explain who and why. while my boyfriend (...well...not really boyfriend but thats another story), Justin, was...okay is still in jail but either way, he met a 28 yr old guy named Tracy (yes tracy). well, tracy was framed and nothing is going to get him out. He's been in for i believe (off the top of my head) one year now. he has about nine months left. it's been hard for him for you see he has a son back home in TN, who lives with him ex-wife (long sotry as to what happened there). Father's day, he heard new from his pastor (yes he is chirstian and grew up that way) that his son was attacked by a dog and lost his ear. well, his son is fine, ear was sticked back on and hearing fine, but Tracy felt horrible about not being able to be with his son. well, over the very short time we have known each other, his told me that after the day it happened (let wrote it and sent it the next day). then we have only been writing for about one month.
Tracy grew up as a pastor's kid (ort PK as i like to call him) and was hoping to be able to follow along hte lines of him father. Both his parents pasted away about three years ago (not sure if thats right but it was before jail). he's been a follower since he could remember (so he says).
Tracy needs prayer right now. and be paised for. the paise si the fact that the ex-wife is letting his son write him finally. his son name is Tracy Jr (don't ask). the prayeris the fact that over the past couple months, a lot has happened to cause him to lose faith. sicne my letters started coming, he has found more of a reason to fight this battle (not really but make it through) and come out with a new look of life. he needs encouragement from other chirstians. Prayer. Love. he needs friends.
he's a country boy (from TN remember), moved to Ohio and now is stuck here for a while.
pray that he'll be alright for the rest of him time.

if you could, send me some verses to share with him. i plan on printing out any messagers to send to him so he can see, even those who have never heard any more than what i have told, still care for his safety. he needs the encouragement...anyone in jail does.

thank you for your help and love.

Romans 12
1 ¶ Therefore, brothers, I call on you through the compassions of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

James 4
7 So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper.
8 Say a quiet yes to God and he'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field.
9 Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious.
10 Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet.

The Message (i don't use The Message much for serious Bible studying, but I like the way this passage reads.)

Please let Tracy know that he has my prayers, Raven.

Psalm 61

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.

4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah
