Lord, Hear Our Prayers

Presento con confianza mi intención a Dios, para salir de la espiral de violencia doméstica, necesito sentirme libre, sana y segura.  Anhelo un cambio radical en mi vida, compartir con un varón creyente, aliado, confidente, generoso y establecernos unidos en matrimonio cristiano católico, formar una familia.  Convivo con mi mamá Adela S. M., adulta mayor, por la que he dedicado mis esfuerzos y buena voluntad, con muchas controversias, decepciones que han dejado secuelas en nosotras y distanciamiento familiar, incluye a mi hermano Anuar Emilio. La ayuda médica ha sido aporte para su calidad de vida y la espiritual, en diciembre, de tanto insistirle acudió al Sacramento de la penitencia y reconciliación. Gracias por apoyarme espiritualmente, quedo atenta.

I hope that Iran, Greenland or Trump don’t start World War 3. I hope that Trump changes his mind about taking Greenland. Hope that Iran and Trump have change of hearts. God, please guide Trump, the Iranian leaders, and other leaders to make the correct choices. A contractor is coming and if he is doing anything electrical, I hope he doesn’t cause a house fire. I hope it doesn’t snow much, as I hope to go places on a medical scooter and that my parents are not nosy or worse about it. Things are backfiring, and I hope that in the near future things turn out better. Hope my parents get along better, my mum has anger issues and is being difficult, very picky, and controlling. My mum has mental health issues and has injured arm. My dad is sick, and need surgery, when or if my dad get surgery, hope it turns out well. My mum has an ESL student, Ron, that's travelling soon, hope Ron gets to do something (besides sleeping) in his short stay in Korea (while heading to China) from Canada, safely.

Thank you for being my creator, my authority, author of my life and my refuge. Thank you for my husband, Brandon . We have been in spiritual warfare, and I thank you, Lord, for never abandoning us. Our marriage needs your presence God. I’m praying for our wounds to be healed, hearts to be softened, and forgiveness to be extended, both for myself and Brandon.
Praying for open communication, empathy, and a deeper understanding between us. 
I’ve recognized that rebuilding a marriage takes time and effort, and I’m praying for us to have the strength and patience to persevere through challenges. I pray Brandon learns this too. Spiritual forces can impact a marriage and I’m praying for protection from negative influences and strongholds. 
I’m Praying for a rekindling of love, affection, and intimacy, and for the us to remember the reasons we fell in love. I need him to be a stronger man. Lord I’m asking a lot but I can’t leave out our communication problems and stress from the finances. Please show us a miracle.. Please God deliver him from his drug addiction I pray against addiction and claim freedom! I pray protection over each of our lives, over husbands, over our family and our friends! May Your power Lord rescue those who need an intervention, those too weak to resist the enemy. May your power be sufficient and may he find hope amidst a dark world. Please Lord, we cry out to you, break the chains of addiction, sexual addiction, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, lying, stealing, cheating, dishonoring, or idolizing! Holy Spirit, rain down, cleanse us, and let your grace restore us in Jesus’ name, Amen!
