Father, please bring a light hearted spirit to this guest that she may walk in joy despite her circumstances and those that surround her. In Jesus name...Amen!

Thank you for your prayers. Please also pray that I can have more of a light-hearted spirit as I've had in the past.

Bless

Father, come to the aid of this wife and give her wisdom in how to work through the rough spots with her mother-in-law. Let this wife love her in an Agape way despite her behavior and pray that her husband will assume Spiritual leadership of this family and advise his mother that he would kindly appreciate it if she changed her behavior. In Jesus name...Amen!

This seems like a petty request, but my husband, kids and I have recently moved back to my husband's and my hometown. While we thought it would be nice being close to his mom/our kids' grandmother, she has been very overbearing and can be very advice-oriented and critical Soapbox

of me and my kids (while her son can do no wrong...) It's been very difficult, and I am wondering now how I can stand to be with her very often, much less having a good, supportive extended-family relationship. Please pray that we will be able to work out better boundaries with my MIL and that she will do a better job of keeping out of things that are not her business and stop being so critical of us. Please pray for me that I will have greater tolerance, treat her with a loving attitude, despite our differences, and have more gratitude for her good qualities.

Thanks for your prayers, and God bless you and yours.
