Please keep my family in prayer. My future mother-in-law has just been diagnosed with a metastatic cancer in her ovaries, and my future son (10 years old, bio-mom not in the picture, we have a great relationship) just revealed he\u2019s been planning a suicide attempt, and can\u2019t articulate why he feels this way. Future daughter (8 years old) is being bullied at school by little girls she thought were her friends. My poor fianc\u00e9 is exhausted and scared, and I don\u2019t know how to help.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, grant this family healing, hope, and guidance through your Son Jesus Christ. Guardian angels, protect each member of this family and guide each of them toward Jesus Christ. Joseph and Mother Mary, pray for them.<\/p>\n
In addition, please pray for a dear friend of mine who is struggling with deep depression.<\/p>\n
Also, I would like to offer a prayer of thanksgiving for a wonderful trip to Sioux City, IA, for the kindness and generosity of the people there, and for a safe return. Please pray for me that I can finish a project I am in the midst of.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
