I am asking you all to pray for a friend of mine who is having an extreemly difficult time at his job. It has been overwhelmingly stressful for him for quite some time and his sister (my best friend) is concerned about his mental well being. He is full of anxiety, worry and depression. He is a teacher in a major city and only has a few years left before retirement, but it seems that all of the politics involved and increasing unrealistic demands placed on him by his supervisors have taken their toll.
(As an aside - I have been praying the he also return to the Church, where I believe he will find healing for his soul. He was raised Greek Orthodox, but left years ago and became an Evangelical. I have been praying that the Lord have mercy on him for this current situation and for him, spiritually.)
