Prayer Requests

I am grieved to inform you that my father, Robert Johansen, Sr.

passed into eternity on Wednesday. He was 70 years old.

He in Texas at the time – he had gone down there to get all in readiness to put his house up for sale. He and my stepmom had been living in Milwaukee for the past 18 months.

My Dad was my biggest supporter, my biggest fan.

I have more about my Dad on my blog, Thrown Back.

Funeral arrangments are finalized and information is available on my blog.

Please remember my Dad and our family in your prayers.

I’m so sorry to hear this, Father. You have my condolences and deepest sympathy. May your Dad’s soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. And may you find grace, strength, consolation and peace in this hour. We ask this of God our Father in the name of Jesus our Lord. Mother Mary, pray for Robert Johansen, Sr!

I just finished a preliminary inteview with an educational publishing company. My job would be to more or less use my background in history and social sciences (including religion!) to help with the content of their materials – something I love. Things are narrowed down to me and a couple others. After five years of ups and downs, the whole family would really, really, super really enjoy a dose of stability and financial breathing again. So if you could have the gang pray that this comes through, I would appreciate it.

Father, we ask that you would grant your son this job through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary, pray for him!

This morning we got the horrible news that my co-worker’s 26-year-old daughter was killed in a car crash. Please pray for her soul and for her family, especially her five-year-old daughter who will now grow up without her mom. It’s a real heartbreaking shock. Thanks for praying, brother.

Father, grant eternal rest, light and peace in Christ to this young woman and grant grace, consolation, strength and peace to all who love her. Mother Mary, pray for all involved. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!
