Jasmine, 9/12/2016 - Dear Lord, I have a friend who is severely depressed to the extent that he wears many personalities. He was had gone through brutal life since he's very young and there's no one there to help and support him, including his families and the person he trusts. No one has ever helped him. Therefore he has been broken and he never trusts anyone. He met a girl many years back then whom he thinks she's special and the girl did give him motivations and supports that helped him to be healthy and positive. He proposed his love to the girl three years ago but he got rejected. They still remained as friends after that. But his feelings for her was so strong that he couldn't give up on her and he continued giving his best to the girl, committed and sacrificed everything for her for three years, and finally lately he told the girl again about his feeling for her and the girl only wanted to be friends. He was brutally saddened and he couldn't get out of sadness. We are all staying together in a house and that's what makes the whole thing worse cause he meets her everyday and it makes him even harder to forget. When he was hurt, I was the only one there for him, so he told me everything and he got better a little bit. I promised him I'll insert positivity into him and would give him constant motivation for him to make it through this hardship. He accepted me. These recent nights he overthinking made him even more depressed and he changed instantly. He refuses to accept my help anymore. He is pushing himself really hard to hide his sadness and confine himself. No one is there for him. The only person that couldn enter his world now was me and he blocked it. He will only get worse if he continues to act so. Dear Lord, please help my friend. Please help him to regain his self, to be real again and to not hide his feelings and open up his world to me so that I can continue to bring him out from the hardship. Please let him accept my existence in his life to give constant motivation and support for his well being. Please help him Lord, I sincerely ask for your help. I don't know what to do. I'm really worried of him. I couldn't sleep nor eat week recently, all because I'm worried. Please Lord please let me help him and bring him back. Thank You Lord. Brothers and sisters in Christ, please also pray for my friend, that he can regain his self and accept my help again. There's nothing else I can do but to turn to the Lord and surrender my thoughts and prayer request to the community of Christ. Please help me. Thank you.

Megan, 9/12/2016 - Please help me in praying for my cousin, Benito Moreno. Last year he was diagnosed with two rare forms of cancer, went through chemo, and was in remission. Today, after many follow up exams, he now has stage 4 cancer and it is now in his lymph nodes. There is not much doctors say they can do ,but to begin chemo again in hopes of delaying the outcome.

immanuel, 9/12/2016 - Satan is attacking my cat and me:
* Open-heart surgery in April--recovery is a long journey.
* Single, 60 years old, alone. No family. (Mother died 21 years ago, my last relative.)
* Lost job two weeks ago.
* Two nights ago--found that apt. has fleas. Cat never goes out, fleas came in through screens.
* Apt. is infested. I've tried EVERYthing. NOTHING is working.
* I truly believe that satan is attacking us, as infestation keeps getting worse and worse.
* Can't sleep in my own bed--they're everywhere.
* Tried to sleep sitting up in the one chair I have--they're biting my feet and ankles.
* I need sleep desperately: hard time sleeping normally, as sternum/muscles/incision hurt all night long. So good sleep is rare for me. But these last two nights, with NO sleep? I feel like I'm disintegrating.
* This stress is really bad for my heart. Please pray for the Lord to deliver cat and me--get rid of fleas, by HIS power--because nothing that I'VE done has worked. And for Homer (cat) and me to get REAL rest, GOOD sleep, SOON. And for Jesus to lead me to the job that is right. Thank you.

Stepney, 9/11/2016
This Novena is also known as The Storm Novena or The Flying Novena. This is because you are "storming the heavens" with your prayers. When you use this Novena as a "Storm Novena" then you should say this Novena for 9 consecutive hours. So you would be reciting the Novena at the top of each hour for 9 consecutive hours. I personally prayed this Novena (back in 2000) to be relieved of a heavy financial burden. Five minutes after I completed the Novena, I went to the mailbox and there was an official letter relieving me of all financial responsibility of the debt. This Novena states, "Everywhere, I shall proclaim aloud Thy mercy and generosity, so that Thy great Love and the great deeds which Thou dost perform through this miraculous image may be acknowledged by all." Since I prayed these exact words, that is the exact reason why I tell everyone about this Novena. I said I would proclaim aloud and I do. Now I am sharing it with you. Keep in mind this Novena should be used for absolutely any urgent need.
Before beginning this Prayer, first read it over and absorb what you will be saying. Then gather your thoughts and choose the specific words that you will be using to ask for your special request or intention.
For a more enriching experience, go down on your knees to pray or take it one step further and prostrate yourself (lay face down) on the floor while praying.
This Novena is amazing for urgent needs, especially financial assistance. This prayer really does work incredible miracles!!! I actually had a loan forgiven, in which I did not have to pay anything back after praying this Novena. No kidding!!!
INFANT BABY JESUS OF PRAGUE NOVENA
aka The Storm Novena or The Flying Novena
(pray for 9 days or 9 hours straight)
Jesus, You said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you." Through the intercession of Mary, Your holy Mother, I knock, I seek. I ask that my prayer be granted. (state your specific request or intention here!)
Jesus, You said, "All that you ask of the Father in My name, He will grant you." Through the intercession of Mary, Your holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your name that my prayer be granted. (state your specific request or intention here!)
Jesus, You said. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word shall not pass." Through the intercession of Mary, Your holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted. (state your specific request or intention here!)
I prostrate myself before Thy Holy Image, O most gracious Infant Jesus, to offer thee my most fervant thanks for the blessings Thou hast bestowed upon me. I shall incessantly praise Thine ineffable mercy and confess that Thou alone art my God, my Helper and my Protector. Henceforth, my entire confidence shall be placed in Thee! Everywhere, I shall proclaim aloud Thy mercy and generosity, so that Thy great Love and the great deeds which Thou dost perform through this miraculous image may be acknowledged by all. May devotion to Thy Holy Infancy increase more and more in the hearts of all Christians, and may all who experience Thine assistance persevere with me in showing unceasing gratitude to Thy Most Holy Infancy, to which be praise and glory forever. Amen
Thank you, Infant Baby Jesus of Prague and the Sacred Heart of Jesus for granting my request. I will always be dedicated to You Dear Jesus and have faith that You will always be by my side. Your faithful servant (state your name).
maria victoria, 9/11/2016
My Husband has been the hospital for almost 2 months now. He seem to wanna live longer but is sometimes frustrated and sad each day. He has stage 4 kidney failure and is on dialysis right now. He has diabetes, anemia, high blood pressure and what is worst is he is also suffering lots and lots of wounds in both whole lower legs and thighs (Calcipylaxis) and on top of that another wound under his scrotum and had a partial penectomy as well.
God if I could only have some of the physical pain and suffering he is having, I will accept it. He had skin debridement and whenever I looked at those wounds, I wanna cry in front of him. I could see the ligaments and tendons on those wounds.He is always in pain every minute of the day. ALL OF THESE WOUNDS are just WAY WAY too much.
He cannot sit-up and of course walk.So 24 hours a day for almost 2 months, he is just in BED till now. He has bed sores on his bottom side too. Right now, the doctors are trying to give him some PEG procedure so he can have some protein in his body to help heal the wounds.
Please I DO NEED your PRAYERS. I am in the state right now that all i could do is CRY and Pray. But their are times that I ask if God is listening/hearing my prayers because we really did NOT have a breathing space in between these tribulations. Its one problem after another.The first problem hasn't been solved yet and is in the process of solving, yet another one comes in and another and another........ Its too much for him to bear and me too.
Bills keeps piling up, we have 3 girls who are still young almost 16,14 and 12) I cant sleep at night thinking of all these things that happened. God !!!! I really need ALL the miracles i could get!!! Please help me!!!!! Please pray for my husbands STRENGTH and fast Recovery. His physical as well as spiritual recovery.Also please pray that the SSS Disability will kick in on time coz right now, his health insurance going to be cut off since has has not been working for 2 months. Please if you know someone that could help us expedite the application, just let me know. We applied last August 6 online and right now, we haven't receive any news yet. We really need that ASAP.
I know that PRAYERS create Miracles. MIRACLES is what my family need right now. Miracle of HEALING. Miracle of Financial Stability or even just a relief and little comfort . We, especially my husband needs that Grace of Spiritual and Physical Strength to get through this. Please oh please pray for him.
Thanks for all your prayers.
