Prayer Request 2

Prayer is a beautiful, as well as essential, way to ask for help and blessings. I feel it helps with health- emotionally and physically, weight loss, and goals. I wanted to make this a thread for prayer requests. It is a thread where you can write down whatever is ‘weighing you down’ or ‘weighing heavily on your heart’. Or whatever you’re thankful for. Anything like that!

Right now I need it. Please pray for me, my mom and dad, as we are going through a difficult time. My mom is suffering badly from pain. She can’t walk and needs a total knee replacement. My dad has a bad addiction problem and just can’t seem to stay stopped or get help. I need to ask for time off from my job to take care of my mom and be there for her through surgery/recovery. I mentioned it to my HR Representative today. I am afraid of retaliation at my job.

This is one of those things that is weighing so heavily on me, but I refused to eat over it. I tracked on MFP. I am thankful for this app. and community. I am determined to stay strong for my home.

Thank you, and may God bless you for your special prayers! If you’d like to join in, please do. I hope my idea of this thread doesn’t offend anyone.
