Why am I asking you?

Because you - like me - see the importance of our Catholic faith, YOU can participate in our mission to spread the Gospel to all nations.

    Estefany, 7/27/2016
  1. Please pray that if it is Gods will for us to sell and downsize that our home will sell soon. I am tired, feeling discouraged, frustrated and even depressed with trying to sell our home to dowsize for purpose of doing the wise thing financially. It's been on the market on and of for past 3 year. It's been listed for 47 days this time and no offers. As we pray about it we still feel led to try to do this. I am tired, frustrated, especially because we see homes we like and might work then they get sold and as new listings pop up they pop for higher prices. We are looking at homes that are about 1000-1300 sq ft smaller. Ours is 3824 sq ft. The smaller homes seem to be going up in price while we already reduced price if ours more than we wanted to. If we reduce ot any further we might downsize only to end up still owing the same. Please pray that if this is still the wise thing to do that it will soon sell and for Gods favor and blessing in the sale beginning with offers and final sale price. The reason we are trying to do this is to end up in a better financial situations. As prices of smaller home go up and ours reduced to what it has it could just end owing the same which would not be a wise thing to do. Do pray that if its not a wise thing to or not in God's plan or will that He will reveal that to us clearly and we could just take it off the market and we could put our time,energy in other things. Please pray for the two agents, Joshua and Helen, who we listed with. pray that God will bless them in this, help and guide them in working the listing.

    Also, please pray that if and when our house does sell for us as we look to purchase a smaller home with more backyard for play. Please pray for Gods wisdom, favor, blessings, protection for us as we shop, make offers and purchase a home. Pray that God will make available the right home at a good price and help us through whole process of selling to downsize

  12. Dear Lord

    I'm confused and deeply hurt my partner. Please mend her heart and assist her to overcome the pain. Let her remember the Love we shared; the Respect we enjoyed and the Promises we made. That nothing shall come between us. She appeared in a picture that questioned her loyalty to me. They were five in a picture; each side was a male and a female and in the middle a male. She touched a male in the middle on a shoulder and by her side was a man. I felt cheated and disrespected. I reacted badly and wrote things that she felt were bad. I take full responsibility for her pain. The man who was standing beside her; she is persuading her and seems that was the setup from the onset. It pains and frustrates me, the same man I reacted to seems to be winning. Two days ago; She called her; his DNA; his Ruth. The other lady who was on the photo proclaimed; the guy was interested in my partner from day one; he met her. She cant open her heart for me. All the good things I did for her no longer matter. My Lord it cant be the man who i reacted to is winning my partner heart. Please give us strength to overcome this. To work on our relationship. Please let your mercy reach us; let the Holy Spirit touch our heart. I'm pleading Lord hear my prayer; because next week is the last time we may ever resolve this issue. I have shown her Love; Mercy and Forgiveness throughout this relationship. Please Lord, we cant fail on the first hurdle we meet in this distance relationship.

    Daniel, 7/26/2016

    I pray to apologize for all the hurtful actions I did to my first love and his girlfriend, all the hurtful words I said to them, and all the illful thoughts I had about them.

    I pray that my first love be pardoned for cheating since he is but an adventurous boy.

    I pray that my friends be pardoned for pranking my first love and for having ill thoughts of him.

    Lastly, I pray that I have the strength to overcome my jealousy and heartbreak, as well as to focus more on giving love rather than leaving others and myself void from it.
