Do not think a request for prayer ever would be silly... I do believe that in our sins and in our inherited sinful nature we are incapable of praying or praying for what we truly need to serve the Lord, but do have our Saviour Jesus Christ who prays for us 24/7.
I think and probably everybody on this list has the same feeling/experience that some way some how we all have our weaknesses. I for one have hoped for years to create a Bible program. I finally made a start somewhere last year: www.wxsword.org but shortly after indeed the demanding work came back and I have not been able to extend it much in the last couple of months. I have never been addicted to computer games except maybe for one of the very early versions of Sim-City. When I realized I wasted a better part of a Saturday playing the game I got rid of it. The only other thing that could be considered a game is a flight simulator which I have several of, but do not run them enough as I use them to learn to fly. So I do not use them as a game, but as a learning tool. However, I think anyone who looks back in their live will recognize things that could be called addiction, could be called waste, could be called "fill in the blanks" and probably everybody has things going on today that they have issue's with. For that reason it is good to pray for family, friends, church members, church members of other Bible believing churches, church members of no so Bible believing churches, members in other "religions" (although I have issue's with calling Christianity a religion as-is and placing it in the same rank with "other religions"), members of other organizations and so effectively everybody in this world. So... let's in general try to pray for all of us and let people that have worries/concerns on their heart that they would like to share feel empowered to do so. After all, I consider it quite possible that there are (formal) alcoholics, (formal) sex-aholics, (formal) substance abusers, etc on this list. I know this list is not the place for personal help, but I do not think any of us would deny or reject a cry for help. Thank the Lord for the work that goes on here and for everybody involved.
