I am Arti and would like to pray for my husband Ravi who is living away from my daughter aged 11 years and I abroad. Please pray that he will take us and we will live as family together. We will all be together only if his sister gets married and settled. Please help me by getting a suitable alliance for her so that my husband can take us and be together. I have waited patiently for 10 years now. I am very helpless and trust that God alone can help me at this time. I am worried about my husband who I love and he loves me too and scared that he will drift away from us. I am living with my aged parents and have no one to look upon to help me but God through your kind prayers .Please help me as my health is in bad condition and I cannot think of anything but my husband. Please help in wiping out any obstacles or evil thoughts which may be blocking his sisters marriage and increase his love for my daughter and me. Lord, please hear this prayer of a broken heart and tearful wife...soften my husband's heart and increase his love. I cannot stop crying and this is not how you created me to be...to be sad always. Please touch this marriage with your kind and loving prayers. Talk to him Oh Lord! The Almighty and give my husband the strength and courage to help me be together with him. In deep prayers, Arti

Please pray for my mother and my protection and peace. Two years ago, we had reported some neighbors for playing loud music, and ever since, they, their friends, and families, have been harassing and stalking us. They have followed me to and from school, and they have several times tried to run me off the road. They have sat outside my classes and have taken pictures of me. As I am typing this letter, they are sitting outside my window watching our apartment. They sit outside a beep their car horns and slam their car doors back and forth. They have this device that makes a buzzing sound, it zaps out our television and computer. We tried to put a video camera up in our apartment to catch all the noises, the device they had zap out our camera. We moved to another apartment and a few months later, one of their friends moved next door, and another moved above us, you can't imagine the noise they keep. They even tell their children to run and jump over our heads all day. I can't even take a shower without them knocking on the walls. We are two ladies, and most of the people who are doing the stalking are men. They have even followed me to another state, when I had gone on vacation. All this started, because we complained about them playing loud music, and all management told them was to lower the music. We do not deserve this. I know the Lord is not please with me, because I am living in fear. I stopped driving my car, and I was supposed to graduate from college this spring, but I didn't. I stopped going to school. Lately, I have been having panic attacks, and I have woken up screaming, and I have heard them upstairs laughing at me. I have lost a lot of weight, and I have lost a lot of my hair, and I have caught them making fun about my hair. Please pray that this will come to an end soon, that we will have our peace back, and that the Lord will keep His Angels around us, at all times. God Bless, and thank you for praying for us.

I need help. I can't get myself to go to confession. Please pray for the special graces and courage that I need to get there. Please pray some serious burdens are lifted, please pray that grave matters are resolved and healed. Please pray for much spiritual and physical healing. Please pray that I find a good spiritual adviser and confessor. I need a push to get there but I don't want to go out of fear because it's paralyzing me please pray something good happens to move me to go. Please pray that God gives me another chance at life. Please pray that I find a good confessor like St. Pio. Please pray that I prepare well for confession (good and thorough examination of conscience). Please pray for me to receive "actual grace" to make "an act of perfect contrition". Pray that I TRULY make a good confession and that I have the peace of knowing that I made a good confession. I'm scared. Please, please pray that God will put a hunger in me for The Holy Eucharist. And pray that upon reception of The Holy Eucharist I will receive many, many desperately needed graces, blessings, and spiritual and physical healing though I know I do not deserve it. Pray that God will fix the grave wrongs that I have done that have paralyzed me all these years. Pray that I fall in love with God above all things. God bless you all.
