Peter prayers

So i've talked with peter every day since christmas. He It's definitely in a better headspace. He has his humor. He also cussed the other day and expressed anger over being stuck in jail so I know it's still him. We've talked about some of the things that have happened this  past year.  Some he remembers and some he doesn't. He was expressing frustration the other day over being stuck in jail and said he could punch someone in the face but knew that if he did, he'd just have to stay there longer. I had a good opportunity to talk about it being a really rough year and it was related to his not taking medication. He seemed to ponder that.  He has told me a couple of times that "he has been to Vietnam and back." He's ready to get out and start over. A couple of days  ago he asked me if I prayed for him. I told him YES, me and a bunch of my friends. He asked me who I had told. I told him a few friends, that I had not taken out of billboard or anything. He laughed. He doesn't know about the blog and I want to keep it that way. After that, I asked him if I could pray for him. And he said yes. Yesterday before we got off the phone, he asked me to pray for him. When I got done he said it was a good prayer. Told me there had been an inmate in jail who had prayed for him. But he was gone. Peter said it made him sad.

For the most part Peter sounds like himself, the nicer version of himself. Medication has a way of altering personalities.I don't want it to make him someone he's not. In an early medication trial three years ago, I saw him be super nice and sugary and it really wasn't him. I like who i'm talking to right now and do hope this is sustainable on meds as well as authentic.

So please continue to pray! Of course Peter daily tells me he is ready to get out. We all would be. I don't discuss with him that behind the scenes people are trying to find a place for him to go. Peter asked me to contact his public defender and tell him he would like to talk with him. I did email him today. Of course I don't want Peter and jail for a long time. As well as they aren't gonna be able to hold him much longer if he is of sound mind. But we definitely want Peter to have a safe place to go and resources that Peter is willing to work with. Please also pray he doesn't lose the social security income. That is a possibility with him being incarcerated. Also pray for Peter's willingness to not go out and get a job or try to buy a car, but to take advice. But it doesn't need something meaningful to do. And I pray that he can find that. And pray there will be others besides me that can speak wisdom to him. And of course we pray for his spiritual journey. The other day he said maybe he would still believe at some point. He continues to claim he's not so sure about God.

On behalf of Peter and myself, Thank you so much for Your prayers.
