How are you doing? I don’t know if there is a single marital relationship I’m familiar with that isn’t experiencing pressure and some level of struggle. The virus has hit us hard. Suicides are up. Anxiety is up.
We need prayer! I’ve enjoyed our small group online Bible study. We’ve been able to share with each other and pray with one another.
Let me encourage you – please add your own requests and updates below.
1. Brian & Cathy as they dig out from the hurricane in Honduras.
2. Meghan is beginning to talk! Tuesday she leaves ICU. Pray for her therapy. She has a long way to go.
3. Amber is seeing a doctor tomorrow in Bangkok. Pray for her health.
4. Karen’s mom, Kay, for her health.
What else? Please post in comments below.

Hi. I’ve been silent. I’ve taken on more hours when possible with the pizza delivery job I have. Grateful for that at least. Otherwise still on the hunt for the full time job or some way to make an income (possibly going to start a ConvertKit landing page to offer encouraging/prophetic poetry to people, so will see where that goes I suppose). Working on changing my mindset over a lot of things, though it is difficult at times to do so.
I am also praying fervently for my marriage. The date for court is apparently 1/4/2021, but I am praying that my wife will allow us to talk with counselors I did a workshop with and see things in a different light, but the fact she barely even talks to me at all is hard to get us to that point. Need mighty prayers of God’s grace and provision over us talking and meeting with the counselors that will show a different way than the path we are on. Learning about taking back my authority and declaring things again. It’s hard when one feels so beat up that it is hard to focus on the paths that lie ahead.
I am weary through everything and it’s a wonder I can still function the way that I can at the moment.
I also have not been able to write a lot to begin with and want to get that going again. Pray for God to unleash the dam holding back the thoughts and words in my head. I need to get the books out of my head out and published at some point. If I could get a job that would allow for me to have the financial side of things taken care of for awhile, then I could take some time here and there to get the writing back going consistently (probably thinking about it wrong though honestly, just not sure how to get going forward, even though I am trying one step at a time). Thanks.
I’m a nurse, I honestly believe it’s a true calling. I have lost my enthusiasm for the profession. I’m first off down with covid, but also I am not happy with the hospital policies, putting a lot of patients and bed side nurses at risk. My prayer is for patience, for understanding, serenity to accept the things I cannot change. And if it is God’s will, a new job. I feel guilty for wanting more in a time where so many are having to do with so little, but I’ve given my current position Everything I possibly can. And like Jessica’s prayer above, clarity for the seasons ahead. God bless.
I could use prayer in my house hunt. Also that I would do well in my job.
God bless each person & family represented here. My friend in Pennsylvania has Covid 19. Im surrounded by silent sad neighbors. Life feels at a standstill but God is never silent. My heart is to reach out and to give to others. I also have been struggling with severe restlessness being at home constantly.
I am so blessed to have a home and a work from home job. Recently God revealed himself to me in such a tender way. When I was not actively praying or giving him my time. He is a God of love and a shepherd & friend to His flock.
Continued passion for Jesus in my life and also in my families life.
I pray for this precious 85 year old mother who does not drive or have a smartphone or computer. Spirit Come and Surround her with your presence. Please allow her to see her daughter and son-in-law. Please do not keep them apart. This covid-19 so many people away from one another. I don’t believe that is your will. And Psalm 139 you say that our days are numbered and written in your book. You know when it’s our time to go. You gave us life and you gave us breath. Please I pray for safe travels for this family and for this prayer request. I pray for comfort over the man who lost his father. I pray for the wife and the concern she has for her precious 85 year old mother in California. So many people are alone and isolated some because they have to and some because they want to because they are afraid. Jesus we cry out to you for Mercy over this land. Not just the USA But Mozambique and all these other countries that are being mentioned in these prayer requests tonight. We lift them up to you Jesus we ask for Mercy we ask for many miracles to happen behind the scenes that we may never hear about. In The Mighty and precious and Powerful name of Jesus the name above all names. Amen.
God bless you Melinda.
AMEN!
I would appreciate prayer for my husband, Gary. Please pray for hope, joy, and encouragement, and that he would fully embrace the changes that God is working in his life.
Praying for these needs.
Prayers appreciated that my husband David’s deceased dad’s house sale will go through. A contract was signed this week and there is a week either buyer or seller can change their minds.
Prayers desired for safe travels from Mozambique to USA and back (to sign papers and pay taxes related to the estate). Also, if we go that far, my 85 year old Mom in CA really wants to see me but there is a concern the state will lockdown that would prevent us visiting. My mom lives alone and knows the risk but is lonely and says it’s not living to be isolated so she would rather live for whatever time she has left dealing with risks and not be denied seeing those she loves. My Mom does not drive and does not have a computer or smartphone (nor wants them). Prayers desired we can see each other and all remain healthy.
Amen!
Thank you Sandy.
