My Mum Glenda has mental health issues and doesn’t have her pills; my dad Alan and her were supposed to go out of town to a doctor but he was too ill to drive there. Hopefully he’ll get his pills by phone but hope that she will get hers Today, same way. Hope my dad doesn’t cancel his surgery, it is sooner than I would like as I likely need to use my legs a lot more than I am supposed to, I am physically challenged and can only use legs so much, but still. Was hoping for a new medical scooter, doubt that will happen now, what I have let’s say old and have issues. My mum has issues with her knee but not supposed to. Don’t know how I’m going to handle everything now and the future, too much at once and after his surgery will likely be different nightmares to deal with. ....

Please pray for healing, peace, and reconciliation within our family as we prepare to celebrate my son’s birthday this Saturday, May 30, 2026. Since an argument on December 13, 2025, my family and my in-laws have not spoken to or seen one another. This separation has brought sadness, tension, and heaviness to our hearts during what should be joyful family moments. We ask for prayers that God softens hearts, removes pride, anger, resentment, and misunderstanding, and fills everyone with grace, compassion, humility, and love. Please pray that this birthday celebration becomes a peaceful and blessed opportunity for healing, respectful interactions, and renewed connection between both families. Most importantly, we pray that my son’s special day is surrounded by joy, warmth, laughter, unity, and positive memories. May the Holy Spirit guide every conversation, calm every anxiety, and allow everyone present to feel God’s peace and presence. May this gathering be the beginning of restoration for our families and a step forward toward forgiveness and harmony. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
