Dear St.Therese, I am praying for forgiveness. May the Lord Jesus Christ work mightily in me and my children and our situation and everything he wants and knows is needed. I am praying to you to please pray to and petition the Lord for all the miracles that He can bring. I am praying for my son Thomas Owen and for God to guide his choice of University. May God close all the doors that He wants closed and open doors that He wants opened. I pray for Divine Appointments in his life. I pray for Divine appointments in my life and my son Jesse's as well. I pray for God to work in the program He wants my son Thomas Owen to follow and the courses He wants him to study. I pray fervently in Jesus' Mighty Name. I also pray for his relationship and for a Christian wife for him and for this person to be covered by the Blood of Jesus. I pray fervently for God's might to go before him and for the current relationship that he is in to be directed by God. He is in a relationship with a boy and this needs to be prayed for him to follow God's path. I pray for his brother Jesse and for all that God wants for him. I pray for wisdom and knowledge in the Lord and the Gifts of the Spirit in each one of us. I pray for all the miracles that God can possibly bring.

Pray for 3 yr old Sophia, my grand-daughter and her 30 yr old mother, Claire, my daughter. Pray for God's protection, light, wisdom, safety and health. They left home on 11.9.20, no one has heard nor seen them since. Pray for their safe return back to our family. At first police won't authorize a search for them because my daughter packed and left, with her 3 yr old child. But Claire had no job, little money, and doing drugs. Please PRAY the police will issue a missing person/missing child report before Thanksgiving to find Claire and Sophia so they quickly return home to our family, safe, alive and well. May angels watch over them. Thank you for your prayers.
