Prayer Request

A reader writes:

Between my small income and that of my wife, it seems we come up more and more short every month. Medical bills, childcare costs, and student debt are all big drains. For multiple reasons, neither I nor my wife have the luxury of staying home to cut costs. I would be happy to take on freelance work to do on nights and weekends but don’t even know where to start offering my services.

I simply feel unable to find hope in the future, and this prevents me from being fully present as a husband and father. I am very tired of worrying. I do have faith that your army of readers will pray for my family, and I humbly ask you and them to do so. I am happy to work more and work hard; I am also happy to pray simply for acceptance and peace so that I might enjoy my family. Either way, I appreciate your help.

Father, hear our prayer for this family and for this good man to find hope and relief from his crushing burden.  Give him a living wage and a way to pay off these debts.  Help your people come to his aid from their surplus.  Mother Mary and St. Joseph, pray for them.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.

I’ve suggested to this reader that he might consider a GoFundMe and seek help from us, the Body of Christ.  If he does that, I will post the link.  Please consider helping a struggling family, if they go that route.
