Let Us Pray
Together, let us pray for the needs of our brothers and sisters.
Please remember these intentions in your daily prayers.
- Thank you everyone who has been supportive and praying for my fiance and I.
As much as it's a relief finding out the reason of him shutting out from his family and I, the truth is kinda difficult to stomach. He may have fathered a baby but we have to go through a DNA test to prove it. He is unwilling to end a life because of his mistake. But how can he go through marrying her without finding out for sure whether he's indeed the father?
Why does he insist he's the father? Why does he trust this girl he met for 5 months so much that she didn't sleep around? You mean the 9 years we are together doesn't matter?
I have found it in my heart to forgive him. He should not let this girl who's 15 years his junior wreck his life and his family's. We also planned a wonderful wedding and our life ahead together.
I have given my everything through our 9 years together and was with him through thick and thin. No doubt he slipped up this one time but I'm willing to forgive him.
I already have his word that if it's not his baby, we will get married.
Dear God, please guide us towards reconciliation. We've read about couples who go through adversity and come back stronger. I believe we are one of those.
I know our road towards reconciliation would not be easy but we will work through it together. During our conversation yesterday I could sense his hurt and love towards me. Please let us have more such in depth conversations through the rest of our relationship.
Most importantly, may the baby not be his and that this is just some disgusting ploy the young woman is up to.
Amen

Madeline, 7/4/2016 - Pray that my hear is totally healed and it beats and functions normally. Pray that my psarcoid is totally healed. Pray that I do not have any arrythmias.
Terry, 7/4/2016 - Please pray for my husband Kevin John and our family with 2 very small kids. My husband wants to leave us for another woman. He said that he does not love me anymore. Thanks in advance for your spiritual support!
Nat, 7/4/2016
- I would like your prayers for the healing and conversion of my husband who is always in a bad mood and constantly temperamental. Please intercede for him to acknowledge his errors and work towards a path of healing and reconciliation.
Cathy, 7/4/2016 - Please pray for me to obtain a job soon. I have been trying my best to find a job for nearly a year now without success.
Anne C, 7/4/2016 - Father help me. I feel weak. There is no one to help me. You blessed my married life. But I am not able to fulfil my roles of a wife and a mother. I want to move out from my in laws house. When hope have brightened up, the Devil comes and sows seeds of discouragement in our hearts. Look at our hearts Father. We are not faking it. You know us right from the time we were conceived in our mother’s womb. Take away the spirit of anger, irritatedness and frustration which is eating our peace of mind. Many so called visionaries who preach your message say " The end is near! Pray!". How can we pray Father when we have no peace on our hearts. I am weak, cannot eat, fed up of people who raise hopes and then thrash it down. You are the Author of our lives. Do not leave us. Bestow O Lord happiness, peace and sound health to my husband, my children and myself. All this I ask in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. AMEN.
Mary, 7/4/2016 - For a speedy recovery. With love and blessings

Michael, 7/4/2016 - Thanks all for your prayers.
I finally spoke to W yesterday. It was a fruitful conversation and I couldn't be more thankful. However, I am hurt to know they are staying together as until the DNA results are out, he's gonna assume he's the father.
Please Lord, I pray that the kid isn't his and as he said he would leave her.
Our 9 years of history is worth so much more than his 5 months with a new girl.
I want to continue with our wedding plans.
Please guide W and I towards reconciliation.
Amen

For Tatay Narding ang Nemesio Sugue, Jr' as well as yours truly's
health, sincere happiness, a suitable male life partner, if that is your will, help m to be strong and brave especially in my times of loneliness and whenever I feel alone and overwhelmed with tasks.
Also, please help Luis Daniel Valladares Chagoya and take care of him. I care for him even if he has been quite mean and rude to me. May he see and actually consider me as a girlfriend.
Moreover, please make men understand that I am straight, it's just that I am this way, boyish and a bit tough looking, because so far, I believe I have been quite unlucky in love and the men I have met have been a bit unkind to me --
Thank you God for hearing out my petitions and am sorry if I doubt you at times and if some of them sound selfish but it´s just that at times I feel so helpless and plagued with uncertainties. All these I ask in God`s name, Amen.
