Dear Father/Brother/Sister in Christ, Prayer request for my Son We humbly request your sincere prayers for our son, who is currently on study leave in his hostel, preparing for his MSW examinations beginning on 12th May 2026. At present, he has not yet begun his studies. Even today, when we called him at 10:00 am, he was still sleeping. Over the past five years, he has been struggling with anxiety, exam fear, and a pattern of procrastination. He finds it very difficult to begin his studies on time, delays preparation, and as exams approach, he becomes overwhelmed with fear. By God’s grace, he somehow manages to write his exams and pass, but without peace or confidence. More than anything, we seek your earnest prayers for his total transformation: He has developed unhealthy habits such as smoking cigarettes and has urges toward drinking. We even received a complaint from his college that he was smoking during fieldwork hours. Recently, he has stopped attending Holy Mass on Sundays, which deeply concerns us. His behaviour at home has become very disturbing. .... We earnestly ask you to pray that the Lord may: Heal him from anxiety, fear, and all inner struggles Deliver him from all harmful habits and addictions Restore his peace, discipline, and purpose in life Bring him back to faith, prayer, and the Sacraments Fill him with the grace of the Holy Spirit for transformation We place him completely in the hands of the Lord, trusting that nothing is impossible for God. Kindly keep him in your prayers Jose K.J.

It’s not the right place for me & I pray to find the "right place" & the "right fit" Thank You for everything Lord. Amen
