Send Deacon Keith Your Prayer Requests

The Lord be with you! This is Deacon Keith, and I am asking for your prayer requests - especially during the difficult times each of us is facing.

Please click the link below to submit your prayer requests.

Why am I asking you?

Because we must unleash the most powerful force in the world - PRAYER. Let me explain in more detail.

Before calling the Apostles, Jesus spent the entire night in prayer. (Luke 6:12) In His Sacred humanity, Jesus shows us the pattern for our life.

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

Here is how you can: I am inviting you to be a "first responder" by sending your prayer request to me, thereby joining our worldwide movement of praying for one another.

Here is all you need to do: Click the link below and tell me what you'd like me to pray for you.

May God bless you,

1. Please pray for my mental health and physical/spiritual well-being. I feel under spiritual attack. My husband after 2 years or marriage is struggling with being a husband and father because his family and friends make him feel guilty and request his time. He has even gone out for lunch with females without telling me. I need God to intervene in my thoughts and to cast peace and confidence on me. Husband wants me to become more like protestant which I'm not comfortable with. I want to raise a Catholic family. I need to feel happy and at peace for my daughter's sake. Also i need a job because my finances need help immediately. Please help me in prayer.

Due to being laid off and unexpected expenses, I am in the midst of an ongoing financial crisis. Rent and other bills are due soon and the Lord must provide miraculously to meet these needs and prevent further debt. I wish to see His glory in getting out of this financial hole. Only a miracle from Him can do this. Pray also for wisdom and faith and freedom from fear which is exhausting me. Thank you again and God bless you richly.

15. Please pray for my best friend William R. Grimes. William lost most of his eyesight about 3 years ago because of very strong anti rejection medications he was taking to sustain his transplanted kidney which has since rejected and he is now on dialysis. William has had numerous eye surgeries & shots in his eye to try to correct his eyesight but he still has little to no vision. William is a very generous & loving man, he has the utmost respect for His Holiness, Pope Francis and wishes to become a Catholic himself. He cares deeply for others and he is always giving to those in need even though he has very little. This Christmas all I want is for William to receive prayers & blessing for the return of his eyesight and the chance for a kidney transplant. It would mean so much to him and myself. Thank you & God Bless.

I worry a lot about my health and that gets me worked up. all I want to do is sleep. I work long days 12hours. I am a certified nurse assistant in the NICU. I love my job, would love to go back to school for my RN, but I feel like I can not concentrate and absorb information. I feel like I am living in another planet. I want to be able to reach out to you my dear god, but I am so closed in. I don't want to associate with anyone only with my husband. there is so much that I am going thru and so much that I want to do, but feel I am in a stand still.
   Help me get close to you my god and guide me in the right path to being healthy and happy with my self. I honestly try to be healthy, but with no avail. I am so afraid to die and not be here for my family and Husband. I am still young at heart. Would love to have a child to love and care for. I met my husband 5yrs ago and it has been the most happy years of my life. he is so loving and understanding. I am a gay male and in a most wonderful loving marriage that I have ever encountered. I want to spend a long time with him. Dear God thank you for hearing me and understanding my situation. Please watch over me and my family and friends.

1. Dear brothers and sisters. Im a converted cathokic since 10 Years and love the sacraments and catholic life.
   I m near 40 and met last year a girl , which was such a great sign, because we wrote before online and didnt met after onlining,
   Then by accident we met on a course in another city and that by living 6 hours apart. We felt in love and were together.
   We met rarely because of work and distnce. She was very warm,
   not the girl with the speciallook but nice, But I was full of doubts and anxiety.
   She was not catholic but protestant and I was very confused at that time.
   ( catholic or not, together praying and so on...protestant)
   She was in the start very interested but
   I made a mistake.
   Deep in my heart knowing that she was the right one, because of My doubts I dindt say it.
   She talked about the love and family and I was on a step back.
   Wanting a break for thinking, I totally destroyed it.
   We had contact and even better that before but were apart.
   We wrote nearly every day. She sended me some kiss or a holiday request or a meeting request.
   So I thought about months that she s still in me.
   I wanted to talk aabout my love then on a weekend but she told me that all the kisses and Holiday requests were only "friendship", She had some affairs and tried to tell me how great teh other man are, that waitng for sex till mariiage is against freedom of sex and she ll enjoy it further with men.
   I was like shocked.
   My Illusion destroyed. inside. I felt betryed even we werent together.
   All the hope...For a family for a girl and wife, and kids...All gone All gone.
   I m deep in prayers, tears and hatemoments these weeks.
   I feel so guiltx for destroying the gift of love that God gave me. I feel so sorry
   Please pray for me! Thank You!

From John King.
   
   John, 12/22/2017
4. Oh God,
   
   Hear my prayer. I have been dealing with what to think of you and your work. If you really were a just and kind, loving God, everything would be different.
   
   I have had to accept that I am not Job, or anyone whom you actually love, but instead am Esau. For Jacob have you loved, and Esau have you hated. You said that. Those were your words. You despised Esau before he was even born, as you have me. You smite and sneer at me, while heaping blessings unto those who crush and destroy me. Not despite what they have done, for that would make me no different than any other. And not to prove anything to anyone, for that would make me no different than Job. But BECAUSE of their lying, scheming, and deceiving of me.
   
   I get to hear from others how much I deserved it, because clearly that's the only option. And it's not possible that I would only deserve half the blame, but I can only deserve ALL of it, right? I'm such a despicable person, right? (Even though I haven't tried to go out of my way to hurt others.) I haven't experienced the pleasures of the world, and have only went out of my way to please others, even though they would always turn out to be horrible people who enjoyed taking advantage of me. But you were always there to make sure I knew it could only ever be MY fault, every time. Inserting people I would trust who could only find fault in ME, while the other person was always seen as blameless, like Jesus. So I always thought everything was my fault, when it wasn't. And by EVERYONE. Which says something too.
   
   If that was the case, then wouldn't it have just been better to make sure I was never born in the first place? Why couldn't you have just put me in the body of an aborted fetus instead? At least then your blessings would make more sense. People could be blessed for being good and just people, not because they deceive and hurt and steal from others. Yet you heap glory and rewards on them for what they have done giving them everything they could have ever asked for and more, and stomp me into the ground so deep, I am broken and beaten bleeding from the ground, barely strong enough to ask, with all my strength, in a whisper, why? And your response is to sneer, turning your head away from me while going to them pleasantly smiling and saying "Keep doing this and more will come." So they do. And it does. Why wouldn't they, right? If that was what it took to have every blessing and more, who wouldn't, right? And if I was never born, then it wouldn't matter that I ask for such outrageous things like being included, not being bullied, or used, or thrown out like trash. Or even raped. But I was the one to blame for all of that, right? I was the selfish one giving my trust to the wrong people you put in, right? I'm the bad guy, right? How dare I have the audacity to want what everyone else gets, or to be considered a person instead of a number, or an object?! Why wasn't I more considerate of them, and the horrible position I put THEM in, right?
   
   It would be one thing if I really was the horrible scum of the earth you and everyone else you put in my life claim me to be. If that were the case, I really have no one to blame but myself. But isn't that a better reason to prevent my birth in the first place? Then the "innocent" people of this earth never would have been contaminated by my awful presence! You hated me before I was born, and was never there for me except to blame me for everything. You would even make sure I wouldn't find out I wasn't to blame until after it was way too late. Then who learns the lesson? I don't learn anything, as I finally realize I was never in the wrong at all. And they don't because YOU WERE TOO BUSY REWARDING THEM FOR IT! And so they never got to realize they were wrong, and instead believe even more firmly they were right. Great job.
   
   It would be another situation if I was Job. While it would be hard and painful, as much as I would not like it, I could more easily accept it than as this. That I am Esau. That I am not loved. And I haven't even sold my birthright. (Or if I did, I either didn't mean it, wasn't aware of it, or don't remember it.) But that's not the important part, right? They deceived and hurt me, so that's the reason to heap on the blessings, while pounding out the punishments on me in their place. At least you were consistent. I will never doubt your hatred of me. You were the one who made sure of that.
   
   And even if I were to say you love me, it is only like that of Esau, and not of Jacob, or even Job. I am nothing to you, or so much less that your love for me is hatred compared to your love for them. That is why the people who hurt me reap on the rewards beyond their wildest dreams, get to have abundances, descendants, and eventually nations that will serve you because they have you to thank for. Loving them for their cruelty and stealing blessings from others. While you ensure I am alone, barren, and eventually wiped from the face of the earth. I am Edom. Searching and desperately trying to obtain a blessing that will never come, only to perish and be utterly destroyed.
   
   The thing is, I do regret listening to you. I chose to go to a church during college, following your will. It is now one of my biggest regrets. If I could go back in time, with everything I know now, I would never have even visited that church and joined a sorority instead. Why did you place me in THAT church, which would exclude me and blame me for "not being close to them" when they were the ones who made sure of that in the first place?! Why didn't you put me in one that would have given me a chance instead? Even a sorority would have been a better experience, and if not, then I wouldn't have doubted you, and had good reason to trust you more. Isn't that a better outcome instead?
   
   I wish you killed me, so I wouldn't have to deal with any of this anymore. I wish I was dead, except that would kill my family. Everyone else will get over it in a week or two. I wish I wasn't born, so whatever horrible crime I've committed, the world is spared from it. I wish I was happy. I wish many things. But most of all, I wish you loved me.

5. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ
   
   As we continue to pray for each other and for our own request I pray everyone would also pray for the souls in purgatory for they can no longer pray for themselves and need our prayers to help them reach the final glory with our Lord and with the Communion of saints, so as we pray for our wants remember them with our prayers and God bless everyone this Christmas season in Jesus name I pray.
