The devil has been looking for a way to start the battle all over with in the past 6 months. I'm having difficultly remembering things where it wasnt a problem few yrs ago. This has affected me in many areas of my life. I'm having difficulty praying my rosary on a daily basis and for filling my holy obligations. If you can pray the rosary for me then I ask for you to do this for me till I am able to. I also ask for you to fast and pray for deliverance over my son, my daughter, my parents, my two sisters and I.

  7. Please pray for us...husband is involved in immoral activities with various women physically and over internet.

    We have a 2 year old daughter and we both need to be able to show her love and nurture her. But my husband is always on his laptop or his cell with immoral women. And when I know what's going on, I'm filled with hatred.

    Pray for him to give up his immoral ways and to convict him of his adultery and fornication. Please pray for these evil spirits to be cast down as foot stools. Pray for me to have strength during this time to come closer to God and never be away from God. Pray for baby to be safe physically, mentally and emotionally and not carry any scars.

    Please pray that my husband will confess what he's been up to for these past few years and for him to have a change of heart towards our family to reunite us.
    It seems he doesn't even know whether what he is doing is right or wrong so pray for him to regain his moral sense and to understand that he is hurting his wife and daughter very much.
    Over the years I have invested financially heavily into him to start 3 businesses. I never thought we would reach to this. I now claim my financial investments. Pray that he will return back to me this what I have given freely as it was for the growth of our family, without any strings being attached to it and this is my very hard earned savings.
    Pray for me I'm so broken 'coz I never ever expected this.
    Thanks brothers and sisters

  3. I recently have been going through tough times. Lost my job. Same day I lost my job, my lady friend indicated she no longer wanted to be with me. Finances are very tough. Have fallen into, which I believe is deep depression. Everyone is indicating economy is getting better but jobs are difficult to attain. Highly educated individual but can’t seem to obtain a viable offer. I try to pray and ask for his help but nothing is happening. I don’t know if I’m praying incorrectly or if I am. I’ll be honest, I’ve even questioned is God really listening. And if he is listening, why is he not answering prayers. I know it’s wrong for me to have those thoughts. But I’m very frustrated. I’ve been looking up scriptures and some healing words, but still frustrated. I know God says ask and you shall receive. Ask for forgiveness and he will. I’m not just asking for myself but for my two children as well. Thank you all. God bless.
