Please pray for my friend and ex co worker Nancy. She had to retire early due to a blood disorder and moved a ferry ride away from us. (chronic lukemia) I and some other coworkers are meeting her for coffee and dessert tonight as she is in town for a couple of days to see her mom and kids and perhaps drs visits. She is very private about her condition but I know she is now needing blood transfusions. i have shared christian resources with her but not sure if she believes in God. Her daughter in a church goer/Chrisitan (I don't really know her) Thanks Jan

oh yes Shaina, as it is him, that is estranged
he, has nothing to lose [and his-freediom to gain]
I have been through such a situation TWICE in my past
and I WILL pray
that the 'termination of past-agreements'
is effected, smoothly and propitiously for you
There IS, never a good time for such happenings
BUT.... A L W AY S... it is for the BEST
[for both parties]
your Bro'

Please pray that my estranged husband signs the separation papers.
Thanks

Actually, what he has to lose is power and control over me. I can not move or make decisions about the house until things are settled property wise. He has not contributed in any way toward maintenance of the property... so it's not costing him anything to keep me trapped.
On the other hand I'm stuck in a house that I can ill afford to keep up, financially and physically. In an area I have no roots or reason to live in.
Thank you for the prayers though... I do need them.
I need God's wisdom and favor too.
Amen...Shaina, this sounds like such a tough thing to go through. I am so sorry. I wish I could just reach out and hug you, and just sit with you for a while.
I will pray. Surely our God can give you wisdom through this, and the right words and gracious thoughts to handle this well. Surely also He can give you favor.
While God does not ever violate the human will, I know He can change a person's heart. Look at Proverbs 21:1 where it says, "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of waters He turns it wherever He wishes."
Father, turn this man's heart! Open his eyes to see, his ears to hear, his heart to understand the Gospel, and the truth of Jesus' death on the cross for him and Your gracious love. Father, draw him to You. Father, change him. Do whatever it takes, Father, change him.
Father, I also pray for Shaina, for Your wisdom, graciousness and love to flood her heart. Father, let her feel how much you love her, help her to see Your graciousness in this situation. Help her to speak with wisdom, and to move with understanding. Help her to know what to do. Bring her godly friends who can help, Father, help her now in this time of great need. Thank You, Father, that You have not left her or forsaken her. You love her, You are with her.
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
