I humbly request your prayers for my husband who has lost his sense of self and identity due to job loss since the onset of Covid, coupled with the burden of constant debts incurred to sustain our livelihood and cover our daily expenses. We have elderly parents in need of care, but due to our financial constraints and crisis, we are unable to provide them with any monetary assistance. This situation has led some family members to harbor resentment towards us, unaware of the reasons behind our helplessness. From the depths of my heart, I ask for your prayers for my husband, who has been enduring a challenging life since leaving his birth place, lacking a home of his own, with heavy burden of debts and no stable income, a job, and children, which has taken a toll on him both mentally and physically. “God, I trust You to provide for my needs and grant a miracle in my finances, opening doors to abundance.” I place my complete trust in God and His Messenger. Praise the Lord. Thank you.

Please pray for me (Ruth) as follows: That I will forgive the people listed below. In the past before I learned to set boundaries, I was "too kind". Unfortunately people took advantage of me and I ended up hurt (and not proud of it, but angry) as the friendship was one-sided. Unbeknown to me in my (then) innocence, as I do not have an agenda, I gave too much and ended up being destabilised by these people as they were narcissists who preyed on sincere people. Please pray that I will forgive as an Act Of Will and not allow this issue to upset me any more. I will pray for Blessings, Salvation, Healing and Transformation for them.

Would appreciate continued prayer…over next bit ….. daily for a woman in a challenging job situation. A narcissist boss who has already managed to get rid of others and is targeting this person. Alot of negativity in work environment and personal attacks from this boss -lies, misrepresentations, harassment, hostility etc. etc. – definitely no support, mentoring etc. From prior prayer request - The woman did prepare a harassment /hostile work environment complaint before Christmas. HR met with her the same day within hours of submission of the complaint. Due to holidays, investigation expected to go into this first of this year. Open eyes of employer and those investigating complaint to seek and see truth and pray employees willing to speak up! Status of compliant is currently ongoing. Know HR has been and is interviewing various personnel within the organization. Let no harm come to the woman undergoing the current situation – emotionally, physically or career/job wise. Give her peace that only God can provide. Protect her, guide her, direct her path, God Walk with her on this journey. God give this woman the strength to endure and fight the good fight with grace and to give God the glory and praise. God restore this woman and others who have been impacted inappropriately by this boss’s reputation, personnel files, verbal damage from lies, deceit, misrepresentations. May God allow every fiery dart the boss has sent and sends to this woman (and or others) return to her void and create her own demise. Make right the inappropriate actions of this boss now and for known recent past and cease her ability to continue to harm others. We pray end to this harassment and end to the negative work environment and personal attacks from this boss including all the hate, belittling, harassing, lies, deceits, misrepresentations and other. Prayers to bind this boss for her inappropriate attitude and act
