Prayer Requests

A reader writes:

I was hoping you and your readers could pray for one of my friends. His mother has become actively suicidal, and she is also the primary earner of the family because his father is not really in the picture. He is only 19, and it is largely falling upon him and his sister to take care of her even though she does not want help. He is currently unemployed and has been unable to find a job. This is a situation that only the Lord can fix, and this family really needs prayers for the healing of the mother, help to the son in finding a job, the strength necessary for the family to get through this, and their own salvation.

Father, hear our prayer for this family that the mother would find the help and healing she needs and her children will find help getting a job and finding the grace and strength necessary to get through this. Do not let them be lost but work saving wonders for them through Christ Jesus. Mother Mary, pray for them!

I realize that this is a somber request around such a festive time, but, if you could please have your readers pray for me: my fiancee just ended our relationship out of the blue.

Father, grant your healing and consolation to this man through Our Lord Jesus. Mother Mary, pray for him!
