Please pray for my Mom who had her second knee surgery done this week. She’s hurting & not feeling real good. She starts Home Health today & in a few weeks she’ll begin physical therapy. She’s retired & so she can take it easy. She had her first knee surgery done 3 years ago.
This is my sincere prayer request – both my parents don’t know Jesus and they are suffering a lot in terms of their health. None of my family members know Christ. My mother is a chronic heart patient and she had both her eyes operated on which didn’t go well. She’s always in a lot of pain emotionally and physically. She truly needs healing. My father grew up very poor and he is always sad and depressed, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and needs healing to flow in him. Neither of them have ever seen true joy but suffered all their lives. My sincere request is for them to know Christ and my family to know and follow Jesus.
