I am asking for prayer, not for myself but for the sake of my children. Receiving their education in the spiritual and nurturing environment of the Parochial school system is all they've ever known. Our Father in Heaven has never failed to provide for our needs, but now that I have only part-time employement, I am concerned that I will not have the funds necessary for their tuition. I ask for prayers that I will soon find a second job to supplement my income so that my children will be able to remain in Catholic school, and the strength not to allow worry and doubt shake my faith in the desire of Our Father to provide for our needs.

I have been through a very, very difficult past couple of years, especially these past few months. But the Lord has been by my side the entire time - He has not failed. I'm still facing some tough times ahead, and I ask for payers that He will continue this long walk with me, and continue to provide me with the strength necessary to fight some inevitible battles. I would also ask for prayers that He will watch over my children, and send the angels to protect and shield them from harm.

I just learned that I have been terminated from my job after 16 years of employment. Please pray that the Lord will open a window as I close the door on this chapter of my life.

I have been falsely accused of something at my work, and now my job is in jeopardy. I pray that He will provide wisdom to those who are involved in this investigation that they may see the truth. Although I don't know what to pray for those who made the accusation, I do. Ii know that no matter the outcome, He has a plan and He wil be with me when the final decision is made. l

Today is the Confirmation Commitment Mass for my oldest son. His father is trying to turn him against the Catholic Church and has all but convinced my son that Catholicism is just short of paganism.

My son now says he does not want to be confirmed. I'm not convinced that this is what is in his heart, but rather a result of the poisonous and false notions that his father has put in his head.

I would like my son to go through the process leading up to Confirmation in the Spring... then, if its not in his heart to be confirmed he will be able to make a more informed choice.

His father has threatened to show at the church today and prevent my son from participating.

Please ask for strength of heart and a clear mind for my son, and please ask for protection for my children and me from the poison and anger of their father.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Me and my ex-husband (domestic violence offender) are going through a shared custody and a child support issue - it's not quite yet a battle, but heading in that direction. I try to do the right thing, but when I do he takes advantage of the situation. The sad thing in all of this is that my children are trapped in the middle. I have asked the Lord so many times to show me the right way to handle this matter, but the end result is always the same - things acually get worse. I am trying to handle this matter in an out of court environment, but I also believe, deep down that going to court is the only way to make this man understand he can no longer push me around. Going to court, however, will only make things worse for my kids. Please ask the Lord to give me the courage and strength to continue and to show me the right way to handle this matter in a a way that will do the least amount of harm to my children.

I am asking for prayers that He will interevne and teach my ex-husband and I how to communicate and cooperate with eachother, not for our sakes but for the sakes of the three lives that we brought into this world.

I believe that I am being stalked by my ex-husband who is a Native American. Three nights ago, someone broke into my home while my two young children and I were here. Only specific personal items were taken, and I believe that the perpetrator was my ex who is going to use these items to make Indian Medicine against me. Please ask God the Father to watch over me and my children, and to protect us from any and all evil.

I have made a decision to allow my oldest son to go live with his father. Please ask the Father to watch over my son, and please ask the Father to give me the strength and courage to live my decision and to give me comfort and assurance that I have made the right decision.
