I would like to request prayer for my son and myself.  We are both undergoing stress regarding a highly exaggerated threat charge against him.  We have his trial on Feb. 8.  This has been going on since April.  It has taken a toll on both of us (emotionally, financially, educationally) and on his grandparents and great-grandparents.  Pray for them as well.  Pray for God to turn this into something good.  Pray for those who have persecuted us, and pray that I can forgive them.  I am very depressed and have trouble getting going.  I stay in bed much of the time.  Recently the love of my life resurfaced full of regret, remorse, apologies, promises, etc., only to apparently reject me like he did 20 or so years ago.  Please pray about this situation and for him as well.  I am having trouble dealing with it on top of everything else.  Pray for the “right one” to come along whether it is him or not.  It seems the last several years, there has been one negative event after another.  My son has been through so much (his father’s cancer death, this legal charge, and more).  Pray for things to get better for us.  I am disappointed in how just about every aspect of my life has turned out.  Pray for God to lead my son and me where he wants us to go and for us to be happy.  I am considering relocating and would like to change careers but have much time with a state retirement system.  Pray for God’s will in this.  Pray for my mood to improve and for me to have more energy and motivation.
