  6. 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. 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 help 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.
    Pray for me I'm so broken 'coz I never ever expected this.
    Thanks

    Steve, 5/7/2016
  8. Please pray for the Philippines. The election is on May 9. Filipinos are mostly Christians. The majority of the Filipinos are rooting for a Presidential candidate RODY DUTERTE who is a murderer, punisher, executioner, human rights violators and thinks he is above the law. He cursed and made fun of a rape victim. He kills criminal or innocent people without giving them due process. Even during the campaign he promised that he will kill 100,000 criminals and throw them at Manila Bay. The Sad part is everyone is shouting for joy, laughing and cheering. Those he kills are accused but not convicted. This is scary. His chance of winning is big. Supporters do not care for the family of the accused, a mother crying waiting for her children to come home, be forgiven, give the chance to apologize for their mistakes. They can change and suffer the consequences in prison but not in the hands of a death squad organized and led by Duterte. Criminals, sinners or not have the right to come home to their family complete. We don’t have the right to judge others of their wrong doings. We have a law that will litigate them. We are all sinners. They are conditioning the minds of the people that if he lost he was cheated and will create chaos. They hate the current administration because they think it did not meet up their expectations. The government did their best but they cannot please everyone. Prayer warriors please pray for the Philippines. They want change and this is the change they want. Killing without due process. Killing to achieve peace and order. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY. We need God to interfere and appoint leaders He knows will serve the country well and will respect human rights. GOD PLEASE BLESS THE PHILIPPINES AND SAVE US FROM EVIL. Please help us.



    Maria, 5/7/2016
