The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!

The second (or third?) blizzard with God's creative artistry!
Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!
And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!

Daniel Bastan-Sarabi

Please pray for me to the Lord our God that he may grant me Daniel all the graces needed to make a good Confession to receive His healing and be his friend again.

Please pray for my Father Haidar to be baptised. And for the return to the Church of my Mum Marianne, and siblings Maria and Yashar. And please pray for all my relatives both living and departed too.

Cheyene Maderazo

Please pray for me that I may be healed from anxiety and the side effects and symptoms of my schizoprenia such as muscle spasms and atakisia also the side effects of the medications I take that they will go away and my brain will go back to normal like no more feeling high and mental confusion and chemically imbalance free and i can experience good sleep again. Hoping I can be able to sleep without depending on anti depressant and antipsychotic. I hope I can receive instantly a miracle from the Lord Jesus that I am fully healed and recovered from my mental health. Please pray for me every second every minute every hour that I may end this suffering as soon as possible. I badly need your assistance for prayer as I always argue with my family that I no longer want to take the medications coz they worried on the withdrawals. Therefore Please ask the Lord Jesus to performa a miracle to my mind body and soul as I am tired fighting on it. Please pray deeply for me and dont stop praying for me. Tell the Lord God to perform a miracle on me so I can stop taking the meds as soon as possible because it no longer helping me to sleep and the symptoms of seizure shaking after taking it so please help me pray to be cured as I am really longing to be normal again like no more side effects, anxiety will leave me and I can sleep normally again. And when I go to bed I wouldnt be able to worry lying down to bed and I wouldnt feel nervous as I cannot sleep again after peeing. pls pray for me

I am currently in my local police academy. Although I’ve passed all required tests until now, I am greatly concerned about the post academy phase. During this time I’ll be a “rookie” a work directly with a senior officer. This officer will grade every interaction I have down to fine detail. Many fail or get fired during this time.

I truly want to serve our Lord in this capacity. I feel it is my calling particularly to protect young children. Please pray for me as I will pray for you. Thank you and God bless.
