Please lift up Chris who is having trouble with his sciatic nerve. It is pinched which happens due to the physicality of his job.  He did go to the chiropractor and he has another appointment this week.  Praying to our God, the Great Physician, for healing of his lower back.

Please pray for the Ward family - previous missionaries for 14 years with Mission Aviation Fellowship. Since 2019 after coming back from the field has been a rough time like for so many during Covid. In 2019 - Christy Ward (mother) had an emergency blood transfusion and got iron poisoning which seriously affected her kidney's. Due to mental health, PTSD, and chronic depression Brian Ward (father) has been fighting mental health issues for three years and has been employed off and on the last four years - lastly in July 2022 After more health issues - they discovered mold in their home affecting their 16 and 9 year old children's health as well as their own. Which is believed to have affected physical and mental health issues for the last several years now. Currently they are looking for a 6 - 12 month rental within their limited budget where they can heal, reset, and become healthy enough to secure a job. Please pray for housing within their budget and healing.

Please pray for my 2 year old night terrors. They have been just awful and up-to 10 a night. He screams so loud. Back to not getting any sleep for the both of us and we are exhausted. Pray for the Holy Spirit protection and to blanket my son with his peace and love while he sleeps.

Please pray for S to change her mind and not divorce her husband.
