Various Prayer Requests

For a friend whose family member has been diagnosed as bi-polar, for peace and justice to reign in their family, and especially for the children in the family.

For a friend whose uncle died yesterday.

For a friend whose son just landed in Afghanistan for a 7-month tour of duty. He’s serving as a corpsman, the Navy’s equivalent of a medic for the marines. His training was in radiology, but he’s going out with the convoys.

For a reader who writes:

Could you please pray for my grandfather? He is making what is likely to be his last trip home from the hospital tomorrow, after battling numerous illnesses for many years. He is tired, and wants to be home with his family for the end.

For a reader who writes:

Please pray for my son, Ian Patrick. He was born on May 30th and while he is doing well in nearly all aspects, he has not been gaining weight since his birth. Any and all prayers for him to “beef up” would be appreciated.

Father, hear and answer our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ! Mother Mary, pray for your children!
