For a total solution to the Brightwood Dam problem including getting the grant to breach the dam.
I pray for my daughter and son-in-law who are at odds about moving the family to the town where he took a job – 2 hours away from their current location. The children are in high school and middle school and my daughter’s job as a regional manager requires her to visit her centers weekly and she travels quarterly for her work. Hers has also been the stable job in their married years, he being out of work 4 times – the last for 15 months. I pray that they can resolve this as the friction in the household is palpable, he has cut off ties with anyone who does not agree with him and the situation is very tense when he comes home on the weekends. I pray for strength for their marriage and the grace to resolve this issue. The children of course are affected as well as they would like to stay where they are. I pray for all of them for peace of heart and mind.
For my marriage, which is definitely in a slump and has me asking every day if we can make it. It’s been 16 years and it feels like there is no life in it at all. My husband is not a believer, either, which is also a huge struggle. Jesus, can you, will you, help save this marriage?
For my daughters upcoming wedding , that she and her husband to be will honor and love one another always and their marriage will be blessed!

For an increase in unconditional love within our family and acceptance of one another despite our sins, failings, and struggles. For a decrease in pride, ego, judgement and want to be right and an increase in patience, listening, empathy, and unity in all things from small to large. That we make one another better, individually and collectively do you work, and help one another draw closer to you.
