My special prayer request is for our foster daughter Carlee. We have had Carlee since she was three days old. We brought her home from the hospital. She is now 17 months old. Today is her birth mom’s court hearing for termination of her rights. Mom has not been clean for a long time. Through almost the whole time mom has failed drug tests. Over the past few weeks mom finally passed her drug test. However, she won’t be able to pass a hair folicial test because it would still show she has failed in the past. There won’t be enough time to do the test before court. Other things are going on such as Carlee not seeing her as a mother. She sees my wife and I as her parents not her bio mom. So lately Carlee has been having issues with the visits. The bio father passed away. Anyway, the court date is soon. I ask you to remember Carlee. Carlee was asked not to come. However, my wife and I will have to go and be asked questions. We will have to testify. Also, remember the judge, Carlee's lawyer, caseworker, everyone involved. This will be a long and difficult hearing. I pray that the judge and everyone sees that mom's rights should be terminated and does it. I pray we don’t loose Carlee. I truly feel bio mom is not the best option for Carlee. Help us speak on behalf of Carlee correctly. But most of all please help us through. I know God can intervene and make it happen. Please don’t let us lose Carlee. We really want to adopt her. There is also another petitioner who wants custody as well. Another foster parent who has never met Carlee. They have never spent time with her and they are not family. DCS (Department of Children Services) does not support her. She has to many kids.

Please pray that my anxiety issues do not keep me from enjoying my pilgrimage to Ireland in a few weeks. I pray that everybody gets along and that there is no tension among any travel goers. I still have reservations about going because of this as I do not do well with people — especially those with very strong personalities. Please pray that I don’t get trapped into not enjoying the pilgrimage. In Jesus’s name. Amen.

Praying for God’s goodness and God’s justice for everyone. Galatians 6:9 - “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up”. Amen!

From and for Inka M. I ask for myself, my husband, my family and our descendants until the end of the world; God's blessing and protection everlastingly like Abraham so that we may love one another forever and never hurt one another; glorify God all our lives and for eternity in heaven; for the salvation of our souls and bodies for eternity (grace of conversion). I ask healing from a contagious disease, and to never to catch contagious disease again; to be healthy always. I ask the same graces for my family and our descendants forever. I ask God so that our descendants may have good spouses according to God's will and God's heart until the end of ages. For all my relatives and their descendants forever, and for Beny, my relative who is sick, I ask God for health, God's protection and blessing everlastingly and salvation of their souls and bodies for eternity (grace of conversion). I ask this through the intercession of St Padre Pio, St. Don Bosco, and all the saints in heaven.

To have hope and joy again. To be renewed in health and weight. To know God's plan for me in the struggles. And God's blessings on all who are sick and struggling. For my family. For my friends and their intentions. In thanksgiving for God's blessings.
