Please pray my ex-husband will get approved and complete the refinance of our home into his name. I have been waiting 21 months for this to be completed.

Samuel (Update) Submitted at 9/1/2010 7:34:09 PM
Samuel's been admitted to a room in the TCU. The doctors are still trying to figure out what is going on with his little body. Tomorrow he is having an ultrasound of his abdomen. They did an ultrasound of his heart today and think one of his arteries is smaller than the other and could be causing restricted blood flow to his lower body.

My Family Submitted at 9/1/2010 3:25:55 PM
My husband and I are separated and he has filed for divorce. I have prayed against this since the beginning. I pray for a total restoration of our marriage and healing. I also ask for prayer for the other person. Pray she hears God's voice and will obey His will by leaving this situation. I will pray for all of you other standers who are going through this circumstance with me. Don't give up. God gave us marriage and hates divorce.
My Husband Submitted at 9/1/2010 2:23:31 PM
Please keep my husband in prayer. He's been searching and praying for a job in the computer/tech field so he can get experience in before he graduates college. Please pray God will lead him to the job meant for him. Also, praise God that we have been able to live on what little income we have - we could not have done it without Him!

My sister and Myself Submitted at 9/1/2010 12:18:43 PM
Please pray for my sister. We just found out she was born with an abnormality in her brain (she is 21) that causes siezures. Pray they can find a way to help her live a long normal life and she adjusts to a new slow paced lifestyle. Also, my family has moved to an area where I cannot find a church to connect with. My husband is a skeptic which makes things even more difficult. I pray that God will show me where he needs me, provide a confidant when times are hard with a non-Christian hubby, and one day my husband will see the glory of God.

Lisa Submitted at 8/31/2010 1:49:04 PM
Thanks be to God for answered prayer and trusting in Him. I had a huge scare and thought I had breast cancer. I'm 40 with 3 kids. My life was flashing in front of my eyes and I finally had to put my faith to the test and trust in the Lord with whatever was in His will for me. I am not recovering from the surgery very fast and had to go back to the ER the night after the surgery for intense bruising and swelling. The pain has been tough but they called with news today that I am fine with no sign of cancer or precancerous cells. Please pray for my physical & emotional healing. Thank you Joy FM for your music and prayer!

Tested Faith Submitted at 8/31/2010 12:29:16 PM
My faith has been tested and its hard to hold on. My dad went into a one day surgery and ended being admitted to the hospital for a month. The day he got out my mom went in and three days after my mom got out, my grandma went in for her heart. Just on Sunday, my son of 20 months went into the hospital cause he couldn't breath. I'm in school and friends with an atheist girl who everyone makes fun of and now they are bringing me in which is effecting my education. As far as work goes my boss is trying to keep money from me. Also my mother just dropped me from health insurance and I have monthly meds to keep me healthy. Please pray for me.
My family Submitted at 8/31/2010 8:55:04 AM
