I know that it seems so petty in the grand scheme of things and so many other people have much worse problems, but please pray that my stepson Christian is allowed to be on the hockey team his father is going to coach. He is being discriminated against because his father is the coach and is being held to a much higher standard than all the other kids just because of who his father is. I have so much other stress in my life that this one small thing could be such a big help to reducing that stress. thank you

Please pray for an end to the drama in my life. It seems like every time something good happens, a dozen other forces converge to try to make things harder. I managed to obtain a government contract that would relieve the financial stress we were under, a month later my spouse lost his job. My contract was going well and just about to be permanent, government cut the program. My spouse gets selected to coach the hockey team he wants because he loves to coach, son is not allowed to be on the team. Selection process has only just been completed, people who are jealous they didn't get picked to coach are complaining and trying to get him removed as coach. My brother is depressed and keeps making suicidal comments no matter how much help we try to get him. I am just so tired of feeling like for every step forward, we take six steps back. I just want some peace and tranquility in my life for a little while. That is all.

Please pray for my family. My spouse says he wants out of our relationship. He has been out of work since January and I know that is a big part of it, but I do not want my family torn apart. I love him and my stepson and I would lose them both forever if he walked away now. I pray to Saint Joseph, patron saint of families and fathers to to show Mike how wrong he is and that we can get through this. I don't want to lose my family. It is far from perfect, but I love them.

I am so, so very tired of always getting kicked down. Every single time it looks like we gotten a break and things are going to go the way want them to, the rug gets pulled out from under us, again and again and again. I don't know why everything seems to be against us and I don't know how much more I can take.

Please pray for Kim Smith. She is the sister of my spouse's childhood best friend. She has been battling cancer for some time but all seemed well. Last week her doctor informed her that her tumors had spread and there was no point in continuing to take any medication as she only has a few days to two weeks at the most to live. Please pray for her family to help them through this. She has a three year old daughter who is going to have to say goodbye to her mommy very soon.

Please pray that my 12 year old stepson comes home. He got mad when his father told him he couldn't play a video game, called his mother and went to her house now she will not let us even talk to him on the telephone, let alone come home. My spouse is completely heartbroken and it pains me to watch him cry every day. I just want Christian to come home.
