I\u2019m a regular reader of your blog, and I really enjoy it. I don\u2019t comment or anything, but I always see your urgent prayer requests and pray along with everyone else for those intentions. Now some friends of mine are in desperate need of prayers and I am trying to spread the word to as many people possible.<\/p>\n

My friend\u2019s six-month-old baby girl, Hadley, was recently diagnosed with cancer. They initially diagnosed her with a a highly treatable form, but a second opinion and additional tests revealed that the original diagnosis was incorrect and it is, in fact, a form with a very low cure rate \u2013 rhabdoid tumor, stage IV. We are all heartbroken, obviously, and are praying for a miracle. Please pray for Hadley\u2019s healing and for strength and comfort for her parents, Josh and Lauren, and the rest of their family.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a Facebook page, in case you want to know more:\u00a0Prayers for Hadley Hartman<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, hear our prayer for Hadley\u2019s complete healing in body, soul, mind, and spirit.\u00a0 Grant grace, wisdom, knowledge, compassion\u00a0and skill to her caregivers and grace, peace, and strength to all who love her.\u00a0 Mother\u00a0Mary, St. Luke and St. Peregrine, pray for them all.\u00a0 We ask that you do all this\u00a0to the glory of your Name through Christ Jesus our Lord.<\/p>\n

Another reader writes:<\/p>\n

Please pray for my daughter. She has become addicted to prescription drugs and has left her husband and 4 children. Sshe is now living with a man who is addicted to heroin. My son in law and grandchildren are devestated and so am I.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, we ask that you who brought Israel out of bondage, Lazarus out of the grave, and Jesus from the pit would free your daughter from this bondage and return her to you and to her family to the glory of your\u00a0Name.\u00a0 Give her the grace and help\u00a0of the\u00a0Spirit to seek the help she needs and made the hard choices\u00a0she must make to do what is right.\u00a0 Give all who love her grace, peace, and strength.\u00a0 Send your Holy Angels to make war on any demonic powers at work here and\u00a0break their grip.\u00a0 Strengthen her body\u2019s natural powers to resist this addiction.\u00a0 Mother Mary, pray for her and all who love and\u00a0 care for her.\u00a0 We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I truly appreciate your prayers for this sweet baby girl.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
