Let Us Pray

Together, let us pray for the needs of our brothers and sisters.
Please remember these intentions in your daily prayers.

  1. My boyfriend, Kadima, and I are having a rough time. We've been fighting a lot lately and have been stressed by my job situation and moodiness because of it, which is taking a toll on us. He has been very distant and has considered ending our relationship. Please pray that we get through this and decide to weather this and any adversity together and grow even more committed to one another. May we never give up on each other even in rough times. May this only be a test that makes us stronger.
