PLEASE INCLUDE IN YOUR PRAYERS

I again seek your help, my wonderful prayer family. My daughter Caitlin has worked for nearly a decade at a large company that is now in a period of upheaval and restructuring. Her job and many others are in jeopardy. I pray she be considered for one of the positions in another department and that she and her colleagues do not suffer financial hardship. In addition, she just went through a very emotionally difficult situation with an individual about whom she cares deeply but whose criminal past and past relationships are sabotaging their future together. She is a strong, independent person and tries to hide her struggles, but as her mother I know what's in her mind and on her heart. If you drawn to include her needs in your prayers I would be so grateful. Caitlin always helps others. I thank you all and pray for you all daily. May God's Love and Blessings rain down upon you! ️
