Prayer please

Shalom and blessings to all ,

I am a new Christian (came to Christ around late March/earlier this month) and let me just say that I am so thrilled to diligently be seeking God's Word (almost obsessive about it) and I see such a transformation in me (I'm able to sleep at night now after years of restless sleep being involved with non-Christian practices).

I humbly ask my fellow believers (who likely are more spiritually mature than I am) to pray for:

-My family (they are Roman Catholic, the problem is they are more of cultural Catholics and have a mixture of 'comfortable' and 'worldly' views with traditions). I sincerely love them (especially my mother, grandmother, aunts and cousins) and I fear for them. I can only say so much since I'm still learning myself and the last thing I want to do is be blind and lead into a ditch.
-My best friend (funny thing was he was a believer before me...to an extent, but we both have similar pasts and know what its like to fall into wordly temptations and sins. I know he is honestly trapped and I witness to him, and I see him coming around slowly, but I still fear for him. He's easily influenced by others (who in turn are easily influenced by carnal/worldly desires), but I know deep down he knows what's right and wrong. Please pray for me that I can say all the right things and continue to be a guide, for I've led him into a lot of sin before accepting Christ and I want to lead him out of sin and help him to accept Christ.
-My friends (many of them are secular and need Christ's intervention since I know they would be good Christians if they converted).

-And humbly...I ask a prayer for myself. It seems I cannot find a church that teaches the Bible adequately (either too liberal or membership oriented). I need to be baptized (I was once as an infant...but I'd feel comfortable having it done to help affirm my belief). I've had temptations to "slip back" but I'm staying strong. I pray for Christian friends and for my unsaved family and friends to be converted to Christ and resist Satan and his ways.

Thank you and blessings to all who read this and pray. I look forward to meeting new believers on here and in the world. Peace and God bless in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour!

May God bless and guide you Mark. I will be remembering you in prayer.

Yours in Christ,

Brian.

God Bless you Mark. I Pray that the Holy Spirit will led you to a Church that preaches Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. The message of the Cross is the only message that should be preached. Salvation of lost souls is the Great Commission message the Lord told his apostles. I Pray your family will find Jesus the same way you found Him. God Bless you.

1Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Thank you guys. :-)

My actual 'name' isn't Mark (i picked my username based on my favorite passage in the Bible), but I do believe the name and verse says a lot about how I feel about Christ. Like a physician.

I really appreciate you guys praying on my behalf and I shall offer the same. God bless both of you, your friends and families.
