If you could put up another prayer request for me I’d be grateful – work-related challenges continue, I’ve got difficult & important (as in, job-on-the-line important) deadlines to meet this week and next. Also, a friend is in a pretty tough situation and contemplating doing something really bad and I’m really worried for him; prayer for this situation would be even more appreciated.

(Regarding the previous prayer request, stuff has happened with the non-work-related issues as well; so I got help on all three areas. Don’t have anything as notable as the Meeting of Doom turning pleasant to report, but still, encouraging.)

Father, hear our prayer through your Son Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for these folks!
