		<description>I crave for my husband&#039;s attention and love. Its been a year when he shut his connection from me without any explanation at all. I know I&#039;ve made mistakes but I know its not reasonable enough for him to turn his back on me. I am missing him but the more I bug him, the more he would say he&#039;s just busy, reasons that never satisfy me. I dont know what to do now, but I hope something wonderful would come our way soon thru Jesus!</description>

		<description>Father I pray for Thandi and her husband as they deal with the consequences of his infidelity.  Lord You are able to take the messes we create and You make miracles happen.  I pray that as You lead Thandi and her husband on this next part of their life together that they would find the joy in serving You in the place that You call them to.  Use the gifts in them that You have given to serve other people for Your glory.  Guide their steps and give them joy in walking with You. Amen.

Thandi, I don&#039;t know the circumstances of your husband&#039;s infidelity but I do know that God has not put you guys on the shelf.  There is a way that He will make use of you whether that is in full-time ministry in a church or perhaps in some other ministries or vocations.  Rather than focusing your attention on being back in the same kind of church ministry fix your eyes and heart on knowing God and looking for His call on you right now.  What are the people and places that He has put in your life to minister to today.  Mother Teresa was called by God to love the person that was in front of her.  As she was faithful with that God just brought more and more people in front of her so that soon she was a global figure of love and faith.  Follow God&#039;s leading today and watch how He will expand your circle of ministry in your life.</description>

		<description>I crave to be loved by my partner. We had a very rough year and a half where we fought almost weekly. I split up for several months and are currently trying to work our issues out through pastoral counseling. I pray a lot that God will give me the strength I need to change and that He will change my mind and heart. I also pray that I will truly forgive him for the things he has done in our relationship and that he can also forgive me. I have learned through God&#039;s word and through my Christian friends that true forgiveness takes the hurt away. I want that type of peace in my life. So I would have to change my answer and say I crave for not only love in my life but true forgiveness as well.</description>

		<description>Dear Alicia,

I&#039;m sorry to hear about what you&#039;re going through with your daughter. It must be difficult to be so unsure of what&#039;s wrong. A stronger faith is a great thing to pray for and God will strengthen you. As a mother you will always be concerned for your daughter. Looking out for your child and wanting the best for her is natural for a parent. You&#039;re asking God to hear your prayers and I want to encourage you with this verse, Philippians 4:6, &quot;Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.&quot; Know that no matter what happens at the doctor, the Lord hears your prayers. Reading through all the available information on this condition may be making you more anxious and even though it&#039;s hard, I pray that God would give you peace about your daughter&#039;s future. 

I would also like to pray for you.

Lord God, I pray for Alicia and her daughter. I pray that you would strengthen Alicia in her faith and that she would be able to give up control of this situation to you. In your word it says &quot;Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.&quot; (Matthew 6:34) I pray that Alicia wouldn&#039;t worry but that you would have your hand on her daughter through this time. Whatever the diagnosis is, I pray that you would give Alicia strength to walk through it looking to you. Thank you that you&#039;ve given her the wonderful gift of her daughter and I pray that  you would strengthen their bond. In Jesus&#039; name, Amen.</description>

		<description>A couple months back I would have said I crave success. But as of right now I crave a strong faith. A faith so strong that no obstacle cannot be overcome. I recently had a daughter. she is 3 months old today and I have noticed that her eyes move from side to side. Ive being doing research and I keep running into nystagmus, which can lead to severe vision loss and permenance of the roaming eyes. her doctor&#039;s appointment is next monday and im extremely nervous. everyone keeps telling me to remain calm but all the info and vids i have seen describes and depicts her symptoms. im so scared. there are different levels of this eye disease and its said to be permamnent. but ive also read stories of people who&#039;s have disappeared or is barely noticeable and it doesnt affect their lives. my fam said to stop reading all this info and just wait to see what the doctor says. but the waiting is killing me! I feel like if I had a stronger faith, I would not be so distraught and worried and I also would feel like no matter what happens i will deal. I have to be strong for my daughter no matter what the outcome. I want everything to be ok but i also crave the strong faith to deal with this. I crave to know God better and to know that he hears my prayers and that he cares about me and my daughter and this situation. I need Him more than ever :(</description>
