The message this morning really helped me. I am asking for prayers for my mother and I's relationship. We have had a bad relationship since I was probably 16 years old, and I am now 30. I realize I have held a lot of unforgiveness and anger towards her the last 14 years because of how she raised me, but mainly because of how she treats me even to this day. I have prayed to let it go and I have asked God to help me forgive my mom. My mom and I finally went to therapy together for the very first time yesterday and it went so well. I would like prayers that this would be the start of a better relationship for us.

I also ask for prayers for my friend Francesca. I met her through a miscarriage support group. She has a concussion that has halted her ability to be able to try to conceive again with her husband. She has not been able to work since December and her weeks are now filled with multiple doctor's visits throughout the week, with medicals bills piling up, and her vision doesn't seem to be getting better despite the physical therapy and prescription glasses she has. Her uncle is also in the hospital with Covid and heart problems and it does not look good for him. I just ask for prayers for my friend.

I also am asking for prayers for my friend Jessicca, another lovely lady I met through a miscarriage support group. She was blessed to find out she was pregnant back in September after her first pregnancy loss 2 years ago, but sadly this last pregnancy (she was having a little boy) did not make it, and his heart stopped beating at 24 weeks in utero. She gave birth to him stillborn a couple of weeks ago and it broke my heart for her to go through that. She is struggling and just trying to make it through day by day. I ask for prayers for her and her husband's healing.

I am also still dealing with my own infertility with my husband. We had a pregnancy loss a few days before Mother's Day back in 2023 and I had a chemical pregnancy in September 2024. I try so hard to stay hopeful and trust in God that I get to be a mother one day to living children. Thank you church and God bless you all.
