Prayers shared

Memory and peace under pressure. Pray for steadiness.

Tests this week. Pray for peace and clear answers. #healing
Pray for sufficiency and for peace.
Three weeks in, we finally got the full story out of him on Sunday night. He had been carrying it alone, which is the part that breaks me the most. We meet with the school on Wednesday. Pray for the …
We've been carrying this since the first scan came back uncertain. Some days I'm fine; some days I can barely look at the calendar. Pray for the doctor to be honest and gentle. Pray for the right next…
Pray for her parents to find the right support.
Tender and patient with each other. #marriage
Pray for rest for the whole household.
The relief is hard to describe. #thanksgiving #healing

Pray for patience, humour, and hugs that still get accepted.
He had a hard week at school — sensory overload on Tuesday, then a misunderstanding with a classmate on Thursday. The teachers are kind but stretched. Pray for one breakthrough this month, and for a s…
