A relative of mine is having some troubles in her life; I\u2019m not sure of the specifics, but I think drugs may be involved. It recently came to a head when she was served papers. (Her mother didn\u2019t say what kind; I\u2019m assuming divorce.) So she packed up her kids and took off.<\/p>\n
She came back a few hours later, but to hear her mother tell it, she still doesn\u2019t realize what kind of path she\u2019s on or how precious her children are. I would be deeply grateful if you and your readers would pray for their whole family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for this woman that she seek your help and get her life oriented toward you and your love for her and all who love her and need her. Heal this woman and her family through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and St. Joseph, pray for her.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
