I would greatly appreciate your intercession, brothers and sisters.
I have three important intentions here:
1. My best friend, his wife, and their new son (my godson), that this second year of their marriage may be fruitful and joyful.
2. That my search for a decent rental house will be fruitful.
3. That my discernment with a lady friend of mine becomes more clear. We are not romantically involved or an exclusive couple, but the possibility is there. There are still important questions needing to be answered, though.
Thank you for your prayers in advance. My prayers are with you.
Ben

My humble prayers for our new forum brother in Christ, Ben...
*May our Lord God bestow many blessings to Ben's friend, his wife and baby, for a long, peaceful, healthy, loving life, anchored always in our Lord Jesus Christ.
*May our Lord God direct Ben to suitable housing.
*May our blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of our God, and St. Xenia of Petersburg intercede for Ben to find the woman the Lord has chosen for him to share his life with, so that he may live a spiritually happy and healthy life in Holy Matrimony. AMEN...
In Christ,
Alice

Prayers for our brother, Ben, that his search for affordable and decent housing be successful and that he and his young lady friend be guided by the Theotokos and Holy Joseph in discerning their relationhip.
Prayers also for Ben's godson and his parents, that their life as a family be nutured by God and that God grant them many years of health, happiness, and love together.

Glory to Jesus Christ!
Look! Lazarus has risen from the dead!
I am greatly encouraged and happy to share with you that things are improving on all three fronts, everyone.
Thank you for being a part of this process and God's loving plan.
I have secured a wonderful place to live. It is exactly what God knew I needed. I have suffered in a less than ideal living situation over the last three years. This is such a huge blessing.
Things with my best friend and his wife have become very focused, clear, and stronger. A new marriage can be trying and confusing, especially with children coming quickly, but nothing is impossible with God.
Things between me and my lady friend are getting incredibly open and clear, setting things up for much more solid and real direction and decisions. I can see the Holy Spirit in this very much now. Whether it's yes or no, it will be good.
I will keep you all updated as time passes.
Have a powerful and life-changing Palm Sunday and Great and Holy Week and Pascha.

Lord of the Powers be with us, for in times of distress we have no other help but You.
Lord of the Powers, have mercy on Ben for all of the needs listed above, and all the needs and concerns of his heart. where/when there 'appears' to be no way Jesus, you alone make the way.
Thank you Jesus that you have answered them so clearly.
Through the intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos and all your saints grant peace.
