I\u2019m writing today to make a prayer request for my wife\u2019s mother. She just recently had surgery to remove a skin cancer on her arm (successful surgery, praise God!). Now however, she is in danger of losing the sales job she has had for many years. I don\u2019t know all the details, but she may be out of work as soon as next week. She is the sole provider for their family, as her husband has long been unable to work due to disability. As you can imagine, losing her job would put a terrible strain on the finances of their household. If your readers could pray for my mother-in-law, that she either be able to keep her job, or that she is able to find another job to continue providing for her family, I\u2019d really appreciate it. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, thank you for healing your daughter of skin cancer. We ask that you would help her keep her job so that she can provide for her family. If she loses her job, we ask that you would give her a peaceful trust in you to see them through this time and that you would swiftly give her new and better paying work. Mother Mary and St. Joseph the Worker, pray for her and her family. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
