Thank you for doing this Donny. My prayer maybe a bit silly for some, but it means a lot to me. A bit of a back story. Last year I attempted to have a holiday in Canada, but the timing was all wrong. Due to Covid and unrecognised PTSD from a car accident 2 months prior, I arrived in Vancouver and had severe panic attacks when I drove the rental car.

I ended up returning home the following night.

So I pray:

Dear God,

Please keep me safe on my Canadian holiday. Help me to deal with my anxieties. I pray that St. Christopher will look after me when driving on the opposite side and not let my fear overcome me. God, please help ease my sciatica before my trip. Thank you God for allowing me the opportunity to complete what I set out to do last year.

Bless all those who suffer from anxiety and depression. Thank you God, Amen.

This is not a "silly prayer".

May I propose asking God the creator of all things, through His son Jesus the Christ, to look after you rather than St Christopher? God loves you and wants you to come to HIM.

I am praying for you right now. In Jesus mighty name.

Thank you for your prayers🙏. Whenever I travel, I always pray to God and to St. Christopher. Being a Catholic, St. Christopher is the patron Saint of Travellers, so he is important to me. I normally wear my cross and my St. Christopher's medal as protection.

Hi Christine I will be praying for you, anxiety is more serious than most assume. I recommend Isaiah 41:10 as I found this comforting while facing one of my fears recently 🙏

Expand full comment

Heidi, I sincerely appreciate your understanding your lovely comment. I have suffered anxiety my whole life, but wasn't diagnosed until my mid 20s. I thought, and was made to feel like I was being a hypochondriac. Anxiety disorder is indeed horrible. Unless someone has experienced having a panic attack, it's hard for them to understand. Luckily, I will have my medication on hand if I need it. Thank you for the recommendation. 🙏🙏💖💖

Thank you Christine it’s been a whirlwind this was our Christmas gift as we got the results from his biopsy 4 days before we left for our trip. When we came back we have so many questions and we research then we meet all 4 panels s via video call then last week we had all his scans more tests before we left they scheduled surgery May 10. We have to come home to get all his FMLA paperwork and we’re leaving this Sunday. If no complications overnight stay only and we will be resting a few days with my family before we drive back as it’s 12 hours away. His cancer is treatable it’s localized except the location so radiation .

Please join me in praying for our neighbor lady. She's in the middle of a court battle with her ex-husband, for custody of their daughter. And the man she is currently married to gets sentenced next week. She's not a believer in Jesus as far as I know, and she's at her wits end. Also pray that my husband and I would know when and how to point her to Jesus. Thanks, and God bless you all❤️

Prayers for my elderly mother (soon to be 92) & her many health issues and myself as her full time caregiver. It’s proving to be challenging to keep her in our home but this is where she wants to be. We have no family here and finding reliable caregivers to hire for some respite help is part of the challenge.

I will be praying for each of your requests.

Podcast is with Laurie tonight at 7;00pm EST. Work related is we’ve had some layoffs and changes with people resigning within the group I work with which leaves challenges and work loads changing. I’m not able to take on any additional work load so I’m asking for prayer mostly for guidance in my response if that should change. We have a meeting on Monday to see more about where things go. It’s in God’s hands but asking for prayer mostly to listen and adhere to God’s guidance and draw strength from him. Thank you Donny!

First one ever, but what I can say, is when you have and trust it is God's will, He will give you the words to share from your heart. At least that is what I tried to do. Great conversation.

You asked what I pray about. You have been instrumental in our struggles with Katie. I have seen God move her heart when it seemed impossible. She is truly seeking a new life away from old habits and people who have had her imprisoned. She is seeking new education opportunities away from working as a bartender. You’re right we sometimes have to step out in faith. God will use people to lead us out of bondage and prepare the road as we go. Trusting God may be hard but necessary. Praying is my goal and one of my callings. 🙏 I do know where you Donny place your foot God will use you. Start walking.
