I am requesting prayer for myself. I am 61 and have some health issues and just got laid off of a good paying job with good benefits. I am asking for prayers for me to surrender to God completely and that he send me a new job, a great job, one that gives him glory and one that I can flourish in and make decent money to pay my bills and to enjoy. Thank you.

Dear St Thetese St Louis and St Zelie please pray for me. I feel so close to despair so often. I have chronic fatigue and can no longer run or even walk which used to make me feel better. I give thanks thaty husband is now financially comfortable and so I don't have to work. My family life is unbearably difficult and causes me great suffering and pain. Please pray for me that I make the most of these last years..I am almost 62 now and there cannot be a great deal of time left for me.
