I am requesting prayers of healing and comfort for my sister, Teri Davis. She’s battling cancer and had surgery yesterday to try to remove some of it. Unfortunately, the cancer spread too much and they cannot remove what they needed to. The outlook does not look promising and they have given her 6 months to live. Her family and friends need prayers for this journey. I also pray that she accepts Jesus as her Savior before it’s too late.

Prayer my former landlord/roommate Michael will forgive me and give me a second chance to live together as roommates again soon. I’m not doing well in this transition and currently homeless living between my car and random couch for a day or two. I was also his live-in dog sitter. He travels a lot for work and leisure. I developed a strong bond with his puppy and miss her and Michael dearly. This place felt like home and I long to go back. I pray God can reconcile this relationship and restore it back to the original arrangement.

I ask for prayers for my family and me. I attended service two weeks ago and I loved the service and the atmosphere. I ask that you pray for my family as we go through some difficult times. Work on my job has come to a halt and I am not getting hours as I normally do. I have rent coming up and don't know how its going to be paid. It's been a tough last 11 months with my wife not working due to dealing with mental health issues and me dealing with health issues as well. We have two grands that live with us. I want to get involved with the church, especially a men's group. I am scared that my rent won't get paid. Its just been a rough go of things. I will continue to pray but I'm very nervous.
