Pray for Tim!

I just received a phone call from him – a truck driver, currently laying over in North Carolina.  He began the conversation by saying, “Is there someone I can talk to?  I am really hurting.”

“You may talk to me,” I responded.

A short version of his story:

He accepted the Lord as his Savior at the age of nineteen, but never developed a relationship with God – at least not enough to wait on Him and trust Him for wisdom. 

Now, at age fifty, his life is falling apart.  He said, “It feels like I never made a good decision.”   

A few minutes ago he asked God for help, and prayed to surrender his life to Him.

I gave him phone numbers of two chaplains in his traveling area.

Pray that he will come in contact with godly men and women who can help him grow and mature in the Lord.

After we hung up, I contacted our chaplain in North Carolina.  He is going to ask a local volunteer chaplain to go to the truck stop and attempt to locate him.  (Tim is out of driving time and and must stay there ten hours.)
