My Mom is going through some troublesome times right now. She has to have surgery to remove some pre-cancerous nodes around her thyroid and she just found out she has macular degeneration (wet) which she has to get an injection every 6 weeks for.

Please, if you think about this or read it, keep my Mom in your prayers.

Thanks in advance.

Already on my prayer list. :prayer:

I will definitely keep your mom in my prayers. :hug:

I have a prayer request. I've been a stay at home wife (no kids) for a few years now and I've really grown to love it. I enjoy taking care of my husband and our home, and there are a million little things I do around here that, if I weren't here to do them, I don't know how they would get done. I have some anxiety about that, and while we've talked from time to time about me going back to work at some point, I've put it off.

Now we could possibly be approaching a period in our lives where it would be very helpful to have a second income. Nothing is definite, but if the time comes it will be a rather immediate need. We feel it would be a good idea to be prepared and for me to get a job again now. My anxiety kicked into high gear after the discussion, and I feel really torn and confused about it. I just got involved in a ministry at our church, and going back to work would make it difficult for me to continue with that. I'm afraid our marriage will suffer with me being gone all day (my husband works from home so we get to have lunch together and be together immediately before and after he begins his work day) and with the added stress of getting all the things done that I do now, only having to do all that during our "together" time after work and on weekends. I know millions of other couples handle this, but I fear it.

I'm having trouble hearing God's voice through all of this. I don't know what he's telling me to do. I'm beginning to look for a job now, but I'm struggling immensely with my fears and anxiety about it. And I don't know what to do about the ministry at church. I'm sorry this became so long-winded, but any prayers would really be appreciated.

Praying for you snoochface - that God would give you clear direction and that he would provide just the right job with hours that would fit well into your life and with your ministry. And praying for peace for you as you go through this transitional time and asking God to give you wisdom:pray:

I had many of your fears when I went back into the work force. I wanted to be home for my kids after school, I wanted to continue to work in youth ministry which requires 2 nights a week, and I wanted week-ends off because that is our family time. I had clearly defined boundaries when I went looking for a job and people either respected what I was looking for and hired me or couldn't accomodate me and didn't. I have never had a problem finding a job that fits with my life - I hope you have success finding the right job for you and your family:hug:

:prayer: MMSII for your Mom. My husband had cancer. And God healed him. I pray that it will be God's will to heal your mother too.

:prayer: Snoochface to be able to hear God clearly about this. (and your post wasn't very long. Don't ever feel you have to apologize for using the amount of words to express what you need to, here. :hug: )

I have a prayer request.
My sister Cinder, found out that her husband of 1 year, has been having an ongoing affair with a co-worker. She is understandably wrecked over it. She has decided to stay with him for the sake of her children. She wants to forgive him. She is saved, but is angry at God and the whole world right now. I want to be there for her...but she's doing everything in her power to be vile tempered and mean spirited to everyone who gets near her...including her two daughters (ages 6 and almost 1) and our mother who's been helping her raise them. It's a hard, ugly situation. So please, I covet your prayers for her through this trial.

Wow Laurenda, so much pain and it sounds like your sis doesn't know what to do with it...Praying that she would allow God to see her through this and that she would find healing in his arms. And that she would reach out for Godly counsel :pray:

Praying for your husband ww:prayer: It is such a strong addiction. I quit 11 years ago and it was probably the hardest thing I ever did. Praying that God would give him the strength and determination to give it up.
