Please pray for my family. We were notified Monday night that our 41-year-son, Ryan, was found deceased in his home at 9 pm. He was on a new antidepressant that he said wasn’t working. He put his house on the market at 2:30 pm and decided to burn some leaves around the house to clean up the property. This caused a small brush fire that damaged his neighbor’s trailer, so the Fire Dept. was called and he received a citation. My son has had a problem with alcohol throughout his adult life, but he hadn’t been drinking much in last...

My brother-in-law, Ruben, was just put on a ventilator this afternoon at Scripps Green Hospital. He’s 70, in reasonably good health, and lives in San Diego. Ruben started feeling sick right after Thanksgiving so he got a Covid test which was NEGATIVE! He kept getting sicker but figured it was just a cold.

I’m asking for prayers for my son-in-law. My daughter just informed me tonight that she’s leaving him this weekend while he’s out of town. I knew they were having problems and she “wasn’t happy,” but I was hoping she’d come to her senses and realize she was being stupid. Unfortunately, she hasn’t. They’re both 32, have been married for 7 years with no kids, and they are employed. The reason I’m asking for prayers is the way she’s chosen to leave the marriage. He’s coming home Sunday to a note explaining that she’s gone. I love him to death but...

Please pray for the family of a 1-month-old baby who died yesterday from apparent SIDS. This child was my son's nephew by marriage, and the baby and his single mother (my son's sister-in-law) were living with my son and his wife; thus, they had become very attached to the baby. It was the first grandchild on both sides of the family and everyone is devastated. Since I don't think the mother's family is particularly religious, I need help storming Heaven with prayers for strength and comfort for all involved. This is my first prayer request, but I know I can...
