I would like to ask for prayers for my younger siblings, who are having unexpected trouble securing their student loans for the upcoming school year. My brother would be going into his junior year and my sister is just starting, so she\u2019s naturally devastated \u2013 after all her hard work and admittance to a top school, it may come to nothing. Please, please pray that this works out in a way that will benefit everyone involved. My heart is just breaking for them; I know how important that degree is and how hard they\u2019ve both worked to get where they are. Please also pray that we can forgive the person responsible for this issue.<\/p>\n
God bless you and your readers and their ceaseless prayer support.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer and grant them the financial provision they need to complete their schooling and do the work you call them to through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary, St. Joseph and St. Thomas, pray for them. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
