Let Us Pray

Together, let us pray for the needs of our brothers and sisters.
Please remember these intentions in your daily prayers.

  1. Please help the sale of our home go through smoothly and fruitfully. Please help the home pass the inspection with minimal issues and minimal impact on the agreed upon price of our home. We really want this sale to work out so we can purchase our next home and so the buyer of our house can move into our home and make it her own. Amen.

  2. Dear Lord, please keep my son, CJ, protected from the evil forces that have been put into play to ruin his life. Remove the forces, the entities, and the thoughts that have been engaged in evil plots to ruin his life. Blessed Mother, if you keep your mantle around him, I know, it will keep him protected and safe. St. Michael the Archangel, he is your charge. You are his patron saint. He chose you to guide and protect him, please keep him by your side and use your sword to cut away all the evil that threatens to ruin him. In our Lord's Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!
    Please, Nine Choir of Angels, wrap your wings around CJ and shield him from all harm. Amen!!!
    Please Lord, help my son, CJ. Bring him peace, love, and mercy. Help him overcome the negativity in his office. Restore his hope and trust in You! Renew his heart, soften it and heal the hurt. Bring him an epiphany that will bring him to his knees before You. Help him to forgive all those who have hurt him. And, Lord, please, he especially needs a new job. Please grant that he may find a job where he is treated with respect, where there is no negativity or ill feelings. He comes home so depressed. Please ignite his passion for school, that he persevere In pursuit of success. Please replace his desire for the military with a desire for a career in law enforcement. Please bring him a girlfriend that will mirror his same values and beliefs, that they may share their faith to the fulfillment of their purpose, for Your Glory, Lord!!! Please lift him up, Lord. In Your Precious and Holy Name! Amen!!!
    Please Lord, help CJ sever his ties with Diana. She is mentally unstable and has threatened him harm. Please Lord, unmask his eyes so he can see her for what she really is. Remove her from his path. Lift him up and bring more Godly, supportive, and loving friends into his life. Bring him a girlfriend with like beliefs and values.

In The Son's, Our Lord's, Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!
    Dear Lord, if it is not Your Will for my son, CJ, to go into the military, please remove it from his heart. I'm so afraid, Lord. I know our soldiers really do a heroic and wonderful thing for our country and freedom, but I really don't want to see my son in this terrible war of evils. They all come back so wounded and broken. Please, Lord, remove it from his life, but I pray for Your Will to be done, as always. Bless and keep my son in Your Adorable Arms, cradle him always in that love that never ends.

Please bring them into his life. Bring him a good girlfriend, compatible to him in every way that counts. Your Mother's mantle of love and mercy surround him, Lord, and that by her intercession You will grant me and my son this prayer, as emanating for Your love for her.

  4. Dear Lord, I pray for the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Please, Lord, allow him to run the country with honesty, integrity, and fairness. Help Congress surpass their agenda of opposing him for the sake of opposition and help them come together for the good of the country. Lord, please help him bring our country back to greatness. Help him overturn Obama's legacy of bad policy and legislation. Lord, our country needs a miracle. Bring the light of God into this new administration. May the Blessed Mother, wrap her mantle around everyone in Government, Congress, and the President's cabinet. Bring us peace, joy, and prosperity, In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!Please Lord, put an end to the Anti-Trump movement (it's a movement solely motivated by hate, Lord) in this country which only serves to hurt the country and the things the President and his administration wish to accomplish!
    Dear Lord, please, help the Trump administration (his family) overcome the investigation into the Russian hacking... help what they have found amount to nothing that can distract and hinder the President's agenda. Please, Lord, allow him to govern wisely, honestly, and with integrity. Please let Congress unite in a just and honest governing of our country. Allow all the good our President has already done to come out and overshadow the minutia that seems to have overtaken what is really important. Please, Lord, for the sake of our country and it's restoration to greatness, help the President do his job well and without opposition. Amen!!!
    Thank you, Lord, that our trip was a success, with so many moments of grace and blessings. In Your Precious and Holy Name, Lord!!! Please continue to bless and grace our friendships that our hearts will always be united, strengthen our friendships, Lord! In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!
    Dear Lord, Please receive my son, CJ, at the Foot of Your Cross. I place Your Blood that was spilled on the ground on my lips, that it may not go wasted but instead purify my lips as my prayers float up to the Throne of Our Father. I thank you for the healing he received when he was released from the "stronghold" on his heart. Please continue the healing to full restoration of his hope and trust in You, and bring him to the fullness of Your Love. Please, Lord, he still has desires of joining the military. If it is not within Your Will for him, please remove these desires and replace them with Your Will on his life; that he may fulfill Your purpose for him. Lord, I am afraid. I do not want to see him go off to this futile war of evils. I place this prayer at the Foot of Your Cross, that it may be cleansed and purified before it reaches the Throne of Our Father; that the Father may return them renewed and restored. Please, Lord, bring CJ the desire to pursue a career in law enforcement to fruition. Bring him the tools, resources, and perseverance to bring his desires to completion, if it is Your Will, Lord. Replace his desire for the military with his desire to serve in the FBI. Lord, if it is Your Will. I place CJ in Your merciful and loving arms. Bring him peace, joy, and prosperity. Help him to live a life dedicated to fulfillment of his purpose and commitment to his faith. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Blessed Mother, wrap him in your mantle and be with him always throughout his journey. Amen!!!

  1. Please, Lord, I ask that you please bring light and love to Congress. Help them come together for the countries sake. I don't think any of them really care. The President is trying and the hate and disrespect directed at him, by media and the left is hindering what he wants to accomplish. Please lift the President, Lord, he gets so much ugliness, negativity, and evil, how can he overcome it. He can't we need to pray for him. Pray for Congress that they do the right thing, for the good of the country and not their self-important agenda. Don't let us lose the majority come this election period. Your Will be done, Lord. We need a miracle to bring our country back to greatness. There is so much division and evil, by people on all sides. Lift our country, Lord. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!

    Dear Lord, please, if it is Your Will that I should meet someone else to share my life, please, Lord, make him kind, caring, compassionate, loving, funny, and generous. May we share the same beliefs and values. If You choose to let me live out my life singly, please, give me the resources and energy to continue to live my life in service to you, Lord. I do get lonely sometimes, Lord, but then you know that, don't You? Blessed Mother, help me be a good mother to my son. Help me make his life with me a blessing, that will lift him up and not drag him down... until such time as the Lord sees fit to send him out on his own... In Your Precious and Holy Name, I pray, Lord. Amen!!!

    Dear Lord, if it is not Your Will for my son, CJ, to go into the military, please remove it from his heart. I'm so afraid, Lord. I know our soldiers really do a heroic and wonderful thing for our country and freedom, but I really don't want to see my son in this terrible war of evils. They all come back so wounded and broken. Please, Lord, remove it from his life, but I pray for Your Will to be done, as always. Bless and keep my son in Your Adorable Arms, cradle him always in that love that never ends. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!

  3.  when I was a child at 5 years old I witnessed my father murdered my mother and then commits suicide me and my brother were taken in by her maternal grandparents my grandfather was a very cold and distant man although he loves us very much he never was able to show it or give us approval as I became a teenager I rebelled and I was forced to leave my grandparents home I moved in with my uncle who also turned his back on me and moved in with my brother who also turned his back on me from 15 until 18 I had no place to call home every time I got comfortable I got kicked out when I turned 18 I got an apartment and I lived alone for a few years I met my first husband and we begin dating before we moved in together he was not my only love interest and I was seeing multiple people once we moved in together it took me a little while to finish a coinciding relationship I realized it wasn't worth sacrificing him for we were together for 13 years we're engaged after 6 years we were married after 11 years and we were separated two weeks after a wedding two weeks before a wedding he admitted that he been speaking with other women inappropriately because of all the time relationship I felt that his crime wasn't enough to call off the wedding so we got married two weeks after the wedding I found evidence that he was cheating on me we lived in the same house for the next two years but we were no longer in a relationship I met my current husband at my job that I had a at that time when I decided to leave my ex-husband's home my current husband and I had just started showing interest in each other when I moved into my apartment he moved in with me I didn't ask him to but he did and I didn't complain my X husband and I finalize our divorce a few months after I left my relationship with my current husband in the beginning was wonderful after a few months 8 or 9 I found out that he was speaking to other women he denied it and then I was unable to find any more of inside so I thought he stopped in 2013 he was arrested for a DUI my husband is an illegal immigrant from Mexico when he was arrested for the DUI he was taken in by i c e and put into deportation proceedings his family and I were able to get him out of jail and we picked out the Council of a lawyer the lawyer had advised us once we started immigration proceedings that if we were truly committed to one another and wanted this relationship to work that we get married because it would give us Leverage for him to become illegal citizen a few weeks later we were married we married for the wrong reasons and the right reasons but we were given a choice so either give up altogether or to take a very large step towards uncertainty with only faith a few weeks after our wedding I found out he was cheating on me at that point in time I chose to forgive him I can't honestly tell you why something inside of me told me that I needed to between 2013 and 2016 my husband cheated numerous times I found out a few times and just as before I chose to forgive for reasons that I don't understand myself my story begin in 2016 I was fired from my job in January 2016 for very unjust reasons but I chose not fight them instead I accepted my termination days after I was terminated I found out I was pregnant given the atmosphere in the stress of the job that I had but I continued working there I would have never been able to take the baby to full term in February of 2016 my grandfather that raised me passed away at his funeral I was introduced to my mother's best friend in the following months my mother's best friend gave me a house for very very small amount of money my grandfather is a state left me very large sum of money before me and my husband ever got pregnant I always told him that when I have a baby I want to stay home and raise the baby I don't want anybody else to raise my child now all of this was possible once we moved into the house my husband's attitude started to change he became more serious no more cheating no More lies they were finally starting our life together the right way, very shortly after everything came about I acknowledged that God had finally showed me in my path in life I became much more spiritual and I believed without a doubt that everything happens for a reason my life was everything that I've ever wanted in late February of 2017 my husband was granted a pardon for his illegal entry in the United States thus allowing him the opportunity to be a citizen at the beginning of our immigration case we were told that we had a 2% chance of getting this far and that was before our current president was elected once he was elected we assumed it would never happen but it did at this point there is no more doubt that I knew God had given me my path in life I gave me everything that I needed everything that I wanted and set me free on my way to do his work in which I tried now to September of 2017 my current husband cheated on me with his 17 year old step niece when I found out I was sick I was outraged I was lost but I was also sure that he was intended to be with me in this life as my husband so I chose to forgive again this time I couldn't just accept it and move on we needed to work but he didn't want to work September 12th 2017 he abandoned me and our 11 month old son and ran away with that girl knowing that his family wouldn't accept what had happened and knowing that I never went to that girl around me ever again they disappeared ran from their problems after 3 weeks of no contact my husband called begging to see his son we spoke a few times on the phone I begged him to come home I told him that we could figure this out together I told him that I would help him get his family back ours and his he returned to Indiana on our son's first birthday he came to my home and for the next 6 days continue to do so but never stayed he told me that he was embarrassed and ashamed I told him that I was still willing to forgive him but we had to work together to fix everything he agreed until day number 6 I don't know what happened but he changed his mind and decided he was never coming home things got very bad between us and still are we both said things and done things to intentionally hurt one another but here I am 5 days before Christmas and I still want my husband to come home despite everything that has happened in the past 3 months I have begged and pleaded with God so either bring my husband back to me or to take away my memories take away my pain take away my sadness I've got nothing I don't think he's even hearing me anymore I'm struggling with my faith right now because I have a 15 month old son and I know that I would never let him type of pain that I'm feeling right now that I would do anything possible to take his pain away yet God ignores me and My cries. I pray everyday all day I've done research I've tried to strengthen my faith you got to get nothing I tried to repent for any sins that I have committed and ask for forgiveness I've asked God to reveal to me any sins that I've committed that I'm not aware of so I can repent and ask for forgiveness yet I get nothing if I am paying for sins of my past why won't he reveal them to me if it is my husband who is needing to learn a lesson why am I being forced to suffer not only am I losing my faith I'm losing my will to live my 15 month old son who used to be all smiles is now depressed and sad and I know that that's my fault I'm unable to be a good mother to him right now I'm just barely getting by this is the time of his life for his being developed and I'm ruining it yet I'm unable to do better because I'm Paralyzed by my sadness and pain if this is what my life is supposed to be like that I don't want to live I don't want to ruin my son's life and I don't want to live suffering for all eternity I want my husband to come home I want our marriage to be restored God has given me every single thing that I've ever wanted took it all away and I don't understand why I feel that it's very unfair and I feel that I'm being punished for reasons that I don't understand
