I'm taking a HUGE leap of faith as I move forward with life and leave the negativity and past behind! Please pray that my positive spirit will be a light to others as I grow and heal. Also, I have two sons with autism entering high school in August with an upcoming brutal surgery. Please pray as they grow and heal as we want them to be all who GOD wants them to be instead of focusing on who we want them to be! Thanks and God bless :)

Approaching something difficult this week with everything in my heart! Asking for prayers as I step out of the box and ask for someone's forgiveness, and also asking God to cleanse my heart.

Praying for continued direction! I've recently turned 40 and feel that God has helped me to identify my purpose. My purpose is as a mother to preteen twin boys on the autism spectrum and as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, I feel in my heart that God wants me to be a strong advocate for others facing similar challenges. I have decided to write a book about our lives from a parental view, a therapist view and a spiritual view in hopes to inspire others facing similar challenges. I am asking for prayers and guidance as I take this project on. Also, needing prayer as I begin a new job on Monday, April 11. Thanks and God Bless :)

Can I ask for a prayer? My father has been grieving excessively for my mother, who will be gone 3 years this Christmas Eve. Although it is not easy for any of us, we are doing our best to honor mom's memory and move on. Holidays will NEVER be the same, BUT my father is out at the cemetery anywhere from 3 to 5 times daily, plants grass seed at the gravesite, and always tells us kids that mom was the only thing that mattered to him. He has lost precious time and relationships with his children and grandchildren. He has always been tough to communicate and I have given it my best to communicate with him, love him and try to accept him for who he is. He refuses counseling because "there is nothing wrong with him" as he puts it. We pay daycare in the summer because we do not believe it is healthy for our sons to be at the cemetery daily. I just got into it with him because I went for a visit at his home (which is LITERALLY a shrine with every picture of my mom that has ever been printed), and snapped after the only conversation that he is ever interested in is him making plans for his dying, the grass at the cemetery, conversations with my deceased mother and he does not care about his grandchildren, things going on with us, etc. I guess I've gotten used to it, have been to counseling for myself and sometimes, it just hurts and now is one of those times. I believe God has a plan for all of us and He will never leave us, but now is one of those times when I need the prayer of others to be stronger. Thank you and God Bless!

Praying for all people to use wisdom and if anyone needs to fight for anything, let it be peace! There are too many people who forget that all of us have both good and bad in us and part of the bad is because we are human and we don't always walk in the other persons shoes. Let us be kind and loving the way Jesus is to all of us!

I have a prayer request! Please pray that God continues to touch the lives of my two autistic sons! May we keep faith that God will have a special task for these boys and that they continue to touch the lives of others. May my husband and I contiune to be strengthened as we raise them! Also, I am at the beginning of learning the Bible and I pray that my walk with God is strengthened by this new journey. Thank you!

Please keep my family in prayer as we are approaching the death of a loved one! Also, I would like to offer a prayer for people all over the world to treat each other with kindness as we all face individual battles on earth! May we all be quick to forgive others who have wronged us and be kind and loving.

Please keep me in prayer! I have prayed all summer long and am about to face a person who has hurt both me and my family by her actions and gossip! I am approaching the situation with grace and an opened mind, but I have never gone to this extent before and the bottom line is that I am seeking peace with the realization that there is no trust left. Also, my boys with autism begin 6th grade on Wednesday and I am praying that this be a blessed year for them and all the other students and teachers as well :)

Can someone please explain mentoring and pray for me? I had someone in my life who I thought very highly of and someone who became attached to my children. Well, this person told me that I have the wrong idea and that we were NEVER friends that she was my mentor! I lost my mother a few years ago and honestly looked up to this woman because I thought she was more stable and could be trusted? She said that ALL friendships are seasons and that none of them should be for more than that? I am not a hard person to get along with, but I am hurt and am asking for prayers. I don't want to hurt this person, even though I am confused BUT I want to understand and grow from this experience. Thank you for your kindness.

More prayers needed. We went to the annual case conference for my twins with autism to discuss the plans for next school year. The boys are a few years behind in the classroom and as of right now, they are not capable of passing ISTEP tests, which means they cannot graduate someday. Obviously, we don't know what God has planned, but please pray for strength for my husband and I to do the right things for these boys. They are both such sweet kids with good hearts and we need prayers for our family. Thank you very much and please know that I continue to hold your prayer requests too.
