Please help me pray for my daughters, and sons they are just great kids (Xochi 20, Monze 17, Josh 17, Lanezi 13 and Aiden 11). When I was growing up I was always told me kids were going to be bad but they are actually a blessing to me. They saved me when I thought I my life was going no where. Me and my husband now pray to our kids the pray your shared with us. Thank you. I have been listening to you since a coworker told me about your podcast this year, I’m going back and listening to past podcasts.. I have also share your podcasts with coworkers too… thank you. May God continue to bless you in your journey.
Please pray for our 29 year old daughter, Laura. She is going through a very tough time, emotionally. She recently broke up w a boyfriend (from Catholic Match). The holidays have been hard on her. She is also a cancer survivor, praise God! TY for this prayer example.
