I know that your readers will pray for those who request it, so I am asking for prayers for my husband. He was a faithful Christian when we married, but has recently lost his faith. This is clearly causing him incredible personal pain and I worry about our young sons who no longer have a male role-model in belief. He has made it clear that the more I try to discuss the issues with him, the further it will drive him away. I realize many other families are dealing with similar challenges. If you could ask your readers to pray for my husband and all families in similar situations, I would be grateful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for the restoration of this man\u2019s faith and for peace and love in his life and in the life of his loved \u00a0ones. \u00a0Mother Mary and St. Thomas the Apostle, pray for him. \u00a0We ask this through Christ our Lord. \u00a0Amen!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
