Pray for FFM

Hello LWF Prayer Warriors!
I submit this prayer request with a saddened heart.
Todd Bentley, the Canadian evangelist who led the controversial “Lakeland Outpouring,” is involved in an “unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff,” according to the board of directors of Bentley’s Fresh Fire Ministries (FFM). (http://www.freshfire.ca/index.php)
This latest news quoted from above is only one of the many articles posted by Christian media, ministers and individuals on the web.
I'm saddened by both the hostility and complacency of some of these articles.
I simply urge you to pray specifically:
That Todd Bentley repent of this sin and that his marriage would be restored.
That the Lord would strengthen and encourage Shonnah Bentley during these difficult times.
That those that have been hurt, dismayed and/or confused would begin to forgive and heal.
May the Lord continue to be Gracious and Just!
-- All in the Name of Jesus.

This first Post wasn't so random at least not to me. I really hope that we never get so focused on the Gifts that we ignore the Gift Giver.

My random thought nevertheless:
If we really love God shouldn't we fall in Love with the things that He loves?

Shouldn't that be enough to keep us from derailing or even sabotaging our own call?
