Please Pray for a teacher I know. He got himself into a spot of trouble for resisting Planned Parenthood\u2019s Teen Outreach Program taking away valuable instruction time to recruit in his math class.<\/p>\n

This has caused quite a stink with the pro-abortion management at his school as you can imagine- up to and including a District Administrator telling him he can\u2019t use the words \u201cGod Bless You\u201d in the class room or on any correspondence.\u00a0\u00a0 He is on the front lines of the culture war in a way that few of us ever will be, and he\u2019s under direct persecution right now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, bless and prosper your servant as he seeks to honor your.\u00a0 Protect him and his family and vindicate him with your Son\u2019s glory through Christ our Lord.\u00a0 Mother Mary, mother of martyrs, pray for him.<\/p>\n

Another reader writes:<\/p>\n

Could you ask for prayer for Samuel again? He had another operation on his left leg yesterday, but the stitches came out of his right foot, so its a mixed bag right now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, grant Samuel complete healing through Christ our Lord.\u00a0 Amen.\u00a0 Mother Mary pray for him, his caregivers, and his friend who cares about him and is Christ for him.<\/p>\n

Another reader writes:<\/p>\n

I would like to ask for prayers on behalf of a former co-worker of mine who suffered a stroke in his office on Friday afternoon and wasn\u2019t discovered until Wednesday morning, unconscious but breathing.\u00a0 He is not very old, lives alone, and his employer was closed Monday and Tuesday for a long holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

Once he was taken to the hospital, they managed to stop the hemorrhaging in his brain, which is going to allow them to work on the other issues which developed over the weekend.\u00a0\u00a0 This apparently puts him in a stable state, although they are watching him like a hawk.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019ve been advised that at this point, it\u2019s a waiting game\u2026no news will be good news at this point, since they\u2019re not expecting changes within days, but in weeks\/months.<\/p>\n

Yesterday he underwent 2 surgeries to relieve pressure in his brain \u2013 the first was not successful but the second was.\u00a0 From what I\u2019ve been told, if he does come out of it, he\u2019s going to have a long recovery.<\/p>\n

Every time I think of the poor guy unconscious in his office for 4 and a half days, it just makes me sick.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, grant this man complete healing through your Son Jesus Christ, and let this issue in your glory and in the increase of love and friendship in this man\u2019s life.\u00a0 Grant skill, wisdom and compassion to his caregivers, and grace and peace and strength to all who care about him.\u00a0 Mother Mary and St. Luke pray for him.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
