Today is a special day in American History. 
When we look at how and why America has been such a successful nation among all others it is evident that our founding fathers had the divine inspiration of God guiding them.
They read their Bibles and formed societal structures based on what they read. 
​

​In today's society it is controversial to say that you are proud to be an American. 
Picking apart our nation's flaws is much more popular these days. 
For those that prefer to criticize- we challenge you to take a moment and consider what kind of nation you would have created if you were given a blank slate some 200 years ago. 
Or what other country in the world do you feel has a better system in place today?
​

Our Declaration of Independence and Constitution far surpass any other forms of government that have been tried throughout history. ​
​

Here at Your Praying Friend we are
​

​Take a listen to a true historian share how special America really is:
​

​In light of the recent court decision we would like to share that there always has been and always will be alternatives to abortion. 
We understand that an unplanned pregnancy can cause an array of emotion and we want you to know there is help. 
If you or someone you know is facing an unplanned pregnancy and they feel as though abortion is the only solution please share this list of resources with them. 
​

In a society that tells us there are no differences between men and women and in fact there are possibly hundreds of different genders - let's ground ourselves in reality - God created men and women and gave each gender special and unique characteristics.
​Now that's something worthy of celebration this month!
​

I don't know how it is where you live, but in St. Louis there are rainbow flags in many yards year round; however for the month of June you see them everywhere, all the time. In the windows of businesses, parades in the streets and groups of people riding around on golf carts decked out in rainbow decor. 

She was a mother, grandmother, wife, daughter, sister and friend.
But she was all that and so much more! ​

​Your Praying Friend was created by a Christian Substance Abuse Counselor in hopes of helping others find healing through Christ and community. 
One way we carry out that mission is by sharing recovery success stories. 
​

At Your Praying Friend, we believe in the power and importance of prayer! 
We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28).
We trust that God did not put us on this Earth alone for a reason.
He graciously gifted us brothers and sisters in Christ who will help us bear our burdens. 
​With that being said, please be thinking about what we can pray with you about today.​
