I have 3 requests! One I pray for a miracle that I grow taller by 2 inches in order to gain a confidence boost. I read that it’s not impossible after your teen years, but it’s really difficult being a 29 year old. I have been doing yoga, stretching, and working out a lot recently to improve my overall health. I know this seems like a silly request but this would be such a huge help. My other request is that I be free from sin. I won’t mention specifically what sin for confidentially purposes but I pray my heart and soul be free from temptation. My last request is a prayer for safety because I will be joining the military. I pray that I will be successful and keep me safe from any harm for me and my fellow service members.
