My boyfriend and I are both 16 and I am very stressed. We got into a big fight last week because heâ€™s been stressed about stuff with his family and friends and Iâ€™ve been stressed for the same reason. We are currently taking a break, but his mom wonâ€™t let us hang out or talk on the phone until weâ€™re â€œready for a mature relationshipâ€. He is really stressed to the point of feeling numb and I donâ€™t know what to do to help him anymore. I am stressed because I love him more than anything but i donâ€™t know how to help and heâ€™s pushing me away. What he needs is a break from his family and friends but his mom wonâ€™t let him come see me for a while. Iâ€™ve tried praying and Iâ€™m starting to believe that God doesnâ€™t love me and that iâ€™m nor welcome at church but iâ€™m still praying that things will get better for my boyfriend and that me and him will get back together. Both of us want to be together still, and heâ€™s been really upset ever since his mom said he canâ€™t call me or hang out with me. He isnâ€™t even supposed to be texting me but he still does. I donâ€™t know what to do and I need help in this situation. Please help pray for me. It would mean a lot to me.

Please ignite his passion for school, that he persevere In pursuit of success. Please replace his desire for the military with a desire for a career in law enforcement. Please bring him a girlfriend that will mirror his same values and beliefs, that they may share their faith to the fulfillment of their purpose, for Your Glory, Lord!!! Please lift him up, Lord.

Dear Lord, if it is not Your Will for my son, CJ, to go into the military, please remove it from his heart. I'm so afraid, Lord. I know our soldiers really do a heroic and wonderful thing for our country and freedom, but I really don't want to see my son in this terrible war of evils. They all come back so wounded and broken. Please, Lord, remove it from his life, but I pray for Your Will to be done, as always. Bless and keep my son in Your Adorable Arms, cradle him always in that love that never ends.

Dear Lord, I pray for the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Please, Lord, allow him to run the country with honesty, integrity, and fairness. Help Congress surpass their agenda of opposing him for the sake of opposition and help them come together for the good of the country. Lord, please help him bring our country back to greatness. Help him overturn Obama's legacy of bad policy and legislation. Lord, our country needs a miracle. Bring the light of God into this new administration. May the Blessed Mother, wrap her mantle around everyone in Government, Congress, and the President's cabinet. Bring us peace, joy, and prosperity, In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!Please Lord, put an end to the Anti-Trump movement (it's a movement solely motivated by hate, Lord) in this country which only serves to hurt the country and the things the President and his administration wish to accomplish!
Dear Lord, please, help the Trump administration (his family) overcome the investigation into the Russian hacking... help what they have found amount to nothing that can distract and hinder the President's agenda. Please, Lord, allow him to govern wisely, honestly, and with integrity. Please let Congress unite in a just and honest governing of our country.

Please continue the healing to full restoration of his hope and trust in You, and bring him to the fullness of Your Love. Please, Lord, he still has desires of joining the military. If it is not within Your Will for him, please remove these desires and replace them with Your Will on his life; that he may fulfill Your purpose for him. Lord, I am afraid. I do not want to see him go off to this futile war of evils. I place this prayer at the Foot of Your Cross, that it may be cleansed and purified before it reaches the Throne of Our Father; that the Father may return them renewed and restored. Please, Lord, bring CJ the desire to pursue a career in law enforcement to fruition. Bring him the tools, resources, and perseverance to bring his desires to completion, if it is Your Will, Lord.

Cassandra, 12/18/2017
Please, Lord, I ask that you please bring light and love to Congress. Help them come together for the countries sake. I don't think any of them really care. The President is trying and the hate and disrespect directed at him, by media and the left is hindering what he wants to accomplish. Please lift the President, Lord, he gets so much ugliness, negativity, and evil, how can he overcome it. He can't we need to pray for him. Pray for Congress that they do the right thing, for the good of the country and not their self-important agenda. Don't let us lose the majority come this election period. Your Will be done, Lord. We need a miracle to bring our country back to greatness. There is so much division and evil, by people on all sides. Lift our country, Lord. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!

Dear Lord, please, if it is Your Will that I should meet someone else to share my life, please, Lord, make him kind, caring, compassionate, loving, funny, and generous. May we share the same beliefs and values. If You choose to let me live out my life singly, please, give me the resources and energy to continue to live my life in service to you, Lord. I do get lonely sometimes, Lord, but then you know that, don't You? Blessed Mother, help me be a good mother to my son. Help me make his life with me a blessing, that will lift him up and not drag him down... until such time as the Lord sees fit to send him out on his own... In Your Precious and Holy Name, I pray, Lord. Amen!!!

Dear Lord, if it is not Your Will for my son, CJ, to go into the military, please remove it from his heart. I'm so afraid, Lord. I know our soldiers really do a heroic and wonderful thing for our country and freedom, but I really don't want to see my son in this terrible war of evils. They all come back so wounded and broken. Please, Lord, remove it from his life, but I pray for Your Will to be done, as always. Bless and keep my son in Your Adorable Arms, cradle him always in that love that never ends. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!

Hello. Thank you for reading my message. I am in desperate need of prayer. My mother Mercedes was diagnosed with stomach cancer this past June. The scans kept showing the cancer was contained in the stomach which was good news. On November 1st, she had her stomach removed.

Katelyn, 12/17/2017
Dear Jesus in Heaven, why have you forgotten me? Iâ€™m getting deeper and deeper in debt. Thereâ€™s no savings left to dig in to. The neighborhood is getting worse, I donâ€™t have money to move. i donâ€™t even have money to buy anything for the holidays. There wonâ€™t be any gifts, there is no tree, just a small angel and a wreath. No family or friends to visit, just another lonely day. I so desperately need money, I canâ€™t even afford to buy bread this week. Itâ€™s too much. Iâ€™ve got a broken boiler, a door that gets frost on the inside, a couch that is torn and broken down. This is never what I expected from life. I feel so abandoned and forgotten. I feel like Heaven is laughing at me. Like everyone hates me so much and no one in Heaven or here on earth wants me to be happy or feel safe. Sometimes I just pray to let me die already. If everyone hates me so much why must I continue to live in this constant fear and just continually struggling to survive and make ends meet. I donâ€™t need to live in a castle but a home where I feel safe, where Iâ€™m not listenng to neighbors screaming and slamming doors, where I can lie in bed without hearing neighbors going to the bathroom. Iâ€™m sick of the noise, Iâ€™m sick of being threatened in my own home, Iâ€™m sick of living in fear. Dear Jesus, what do you want from me? Why wonâ€™t you forgive me? Why are my prayers ignored? Why donâ€™t I matter?
