Prayer Requests

Good morning.
A few requests this morning.
Please keep Danny (my sister's ex) in your prayers as he begins radiation therapy today for a cancerous tumor in his lung.
Also, please pray for Lois and Steve (Suzanne's brother-in-law's parents) as they deal with health issues. 
And please pray for the two young ladies in the request below from my friend Scott.
Thank you.
Gary
 
 
Hello friends,
We all have plenty of prayer needs but may I share two with you.
One is for an expectant mother who is weak and dehydrated. I don't know all the details but she's having some serious challenges. She is a believer.
The second is for a couple, the wife in particular, whose marriage is under severe attack. I have previously asked for prayer for her. She is a believer, he is not. Below is an excerpt from an email from her. She needs God's supernatural strength and comfort for this challenge; he needs to be broken to see his need for Jesus and to stop this wicked abuse towards his wife. Thank you for interceding for these folks. May our Lord refresh and renew you today as you seek and serve Him. 
Thanks,
Scott 

Part of the email she sent:  

"I really really really need prayer right now.  I feel a rift between me and God, and I feel helpless to stop it.  I'll have a day where things feel like they're where they're supposed to be, and the next day will feel ugly and alone.  
The reason I know there is a rift is because I am one step away from completely throwing in the towel in my marriage.  I am weary.  I've been impatient, crabby, and confrontational (yes, anti-submissive) for about 2 weeks.  I'm so resentful and angry towards B…. that I want to punish him for treating me the way he has.  He has revealed via counseling that he is aware that he antagonizes me.  He also revealed that it is his goal to antagonize me until I blow up.  The longer I go without blowing up, the more determined he becomes to "break" me.  I'm so irritated even in writing this right now.  I think that is the most bizarre, insane, immature, controlling behavior...and the gall to hold his head high after stating this fact.  grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! 
See, this is what I'm talking about.  There's no peace here.  I don't know if I'm capable of praying for what I need right now.  Please intercede on my behalf that:
1- I can "Let go and let God"
2- I can, with His help, be loving and submissive no matter what the circumstances
3- That I put my trust into my heavenly Father and not into myself or others.
4- That B… will retire his goal of "breaking" me."
