Hello fellow WAVES! I'd appreciate prayers of strength for me. As many of you probably know, I've been struggling with my relationship for the past few years. I've decided that it's right, after much soul searching, to get a divorce. I've submitted the documents to the courts. While it feels right, I am just praying that the process is fair, protected (my husband has a lot of darkness around him) and efficient. I'm optimistic about God's plan for the rest of my life. I just ask for prayers for strength. You are all so wonderful and I appreciate your prayers!

Hello Everyone! My heart is so full today with love and appreciation; I wanted to give you all an update on my prayer request after I asked my husband to move out. It was bumpy, thus the request. He moved out last Wednesday. I had one day of separating my "vibe" from what he was going through. We've been together a long time, so I generally know what he is feeling, even at a long distance. More so than him, I think! Anyway-I feel so dang happy, freed and closer to God than I've felt in ages. Your encouragement gave me strength. 💕I am so grateful to have you all as a trusted group I could lean on the past few years, and I really think your prayers got me through the last 10 days. Already wonderful things are happening in my life-my son who was not calling me or talking to me called me yesterday and had a wonderful conversation with me. A true miracle. The church group I was volunteering with - a disaster response group-with asked me to help lead the team. I had a wonderful dream with Jesus (!) in it-it was very profound to me. And my back that was injured 6 weeks ago from a fall from a horse is feeling radically better. This is all good news, right? I'm almost in awe and am profoundly grateful to all of you and your prayers. There are challenges ahead, but I am grateful.

I am asking for prayers. I have asked my husband to move out of our house. I was at peace about it and relatively forgiving and loving, but the transition has become bumpier than I'd like. Please pray that I rise above the pettiness and am able to love as Jesus asked us to do. He said to to pray for those who persecute you and I take that very much to heart. I was doing that, but some stuff has come up that makes it hard. Thank you.

I recently met a very brave woman, Veronika, who is battling breast cancer. She is a light to so many people, and so loving. Please pray she heals in whatever way God deems is part of her path and mission. She is young, and a beautiful singer that gifts so many people with her music. If it be His will, I ask that she is healed.

Hello! I just wanted to update you on my request for prayers for guidance with regards to my husband and our relationship. It certainly seems from the "outside" that my husband is a problem child, considering the fact that he stole money from our business over two years and lied to me continually about it and our finances. I'm turning over love/forgiveness/our path chosen before birth ideas and paradigm continually in processing the information I uncovered in a few months ago. One thing I've heard from Betty many times that she quotes from the New Testament: "Pray for others that YE YOURSELF may be healed." I was walking recently one day, talking to God out loud (another Betty suggestion) about my travails with my emotionally blocked husband. I heard Jesus (so I felt) clearly saying "pray for your husband for 15 minutes". I didn't feel enthusiastic, but did it. Honestly, and this is the miracle I want to relate, it was something I wasn't expecting. I felt like the last 4 years of travails my husband imposed upon my started to unravel like the proverbial yarn ball. I remembered all the good things about who he is as a spirit. The many negative things he's done (not just embezziling money) fell into the lens of his trauma. I felt like I had his issues removed from who I was, and at the end of the 15 minutes: I was back to being ME without his trauma/issues, and I hadn't felt like that in 20 years! Miracle, full stop. I'm not done with this journey, I am still asking for strong guidance from God. I just wanted to give everyone a testimony about the fact that praying for others, especially the ones who are not very nice to you, has a healing effect on yourself.

I have a need for very clear guidance from God. I am so extremely spiritually stymied and blocked about (what I feel) are conflicting messages of love vs. loving from a distance and loving boundaries. I've struggled with this for months now. I'm having such a horrible, horrible, time with knowing what to do with something close to my heart. I don't know where to start. It has to do with my husband. A few months ago I discovered that my husband has done a big betrayal to me and the family that is pretty bad. I think I have forgiven him. He seems to think what he did is no big deal. And he continues to be disrespectful in different albeit smaller ways. I don't trust him at all anymore, and taken steps to protect myself. I do forgive and love him. I'm so confused because I've had compassionate dreams about him but also ones where I'm warned he's going to try and take advantage of me in a big way in the future when I'm older and more vulnerable financially because I can't work as much. I want to do God's will, but it's really hard to know what to do. I just feel crazed with pain and it's hard to know what the right thing is to do. I'm "old" --55--and I am paralyzed by fear that I'm going to make the wrong choice at a late stage in the game. Looking back with my husband, I've made so many bad choices and compromises in our relationship that I really don't want to disappoint God again. I feel I already have it so badly because my husband's issues have hurt my adult kids. I've gotten counseling and my brain is pretty organized about all of it. Honestly, it's my heart and spiritual approach (a la Betty's teachings and Soul's Rememberance) that gives me pause. I am ricocheting between trying to embrace Jesus' attributes of love, patience and forgiveness and we are here to teach and be others' teachers and just being plain sad and lonely that this relationship is disappointing to my heart. I also feel stymied by his darkness energy-honestly I see it's similar to his brother's bipolar/borderline personality disorder bad "vibe". It's the family darkness. I try to stay separate, but when you live with someone it's hard. I don't know where patience ends. My kids are out of the house...so maybe God wants me to keep giving and loving to save my husband before he dies. He's 61. We've been together a long time, since I was 21. I pray and lean in really hard, so I think. I've gone to counseling. I don't know if my bad family history is making hard to hear or what. I'm probably blocking God's message. Please pray I have the strength to hear God's voice and the courage to do what He wants. Thank you all--you are a blessing.

I'm going through a few things with my husband and my son that are really stretching my strength, faith and perseverance. I know God is there and helping me, but I'd like to ask for some prayers here as well. Thank you very much.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the WAVES Zoom meetings. There have been 2 on the same topic recently on "Preparedness". I just wanted to let everyone know how much it helped. I stopped dragging my feet on getting some items for my house and animals. I have a horse and board at a facility that is out in the country in Nebraska. I always imagined I'd need to evacuate and would need a horse trailer to do so. Just an intuition. Two months ago, my husband bought me a 3 horse trailer, and entry level one, but sturdy. I learned how to use it, maintain it, and stocked it with extra supplies that other people may need if I needed to haul their horses. For the first time in memory in our area : we had the hottest, driest and most windy day on record. We had winds of 50-60 mph and wildfires started. This has never happened before and people don't have the skillset that comes from experience with it, like people in California do. Thanks to Betty's information that "we are built for times like these", and my calmness due to that information, and my basic supplies, I was able to help organize the barn and get out useful information from the authorities calmly. I even was recovering from COVID and did NOT feel strong! Also, we evacuated horses safely to the County fairgrounds. I had enough food, drinks and chairs that the people who evacuated were able to hang out in a comfortable and relaxed way. We even ended up having fun chatting (though we were in an intense situation) and really bonded as a group. The younger people got to see calmness under duress by us older folks and that was good. All in all, this is EXACTLY what Betty I think wanted us to prepare for: handle the unexpected gracefully and with a sense of community. We are strong together. Thank you all for disseminating the information on preparedness: I wouldn't have been as prepared if you all hadn't shared your information and time in those meetings. Now everyone at the barn wants to prepare MORE for next time, which is great!

Hello Waves! I'm kinda amused by my title...I am wondering if I left anything out to pray for? I am asking for these spiritual strengths for both me and my family. We are dealing with some negative energy or thinking that seems to be mostly affecting my husband. I see it then it affects me and my son. I feel it mostly only as a "wind" that I can withstand, but my son is more vulnerable to his dad's moods and tends to mirror them. So, I guess the prayer would be first for my husband, then my son and then myself. Thank you everyone❤️

My 19 year old son has Covid-he's saying it's the worst sickness he's experienced. Our family needs prayers that my son is able to get the Paxlovid, the Covid antiviral ASAP. There is a difficulty coordinating doctors orders to get the prescription, and him being in a college that doesn't usually deal with this augments the problem. Also, I can't just "drive down" and pick him up! So...please prayers that he gets the Paxlovid pills easily and quickly...and that he recovers strongly from this in body and spirit. Thank you everyone! Erin and her beautiful daughter...and now me and my son!

I am requesting prayers for my 18 year old son. He has been challenged with mild depression at times, but is a happy and beautiful soul. He has made some choices this past year that has not made him happier. I had a dream recently that he was backing up a train, but was going too fast and hit a wall with it. My husband and I are giving him all the support we can...and things are on the upswing for my son. I just ask for God's grace and guidance from Him, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Mary and all the angels that we get my son to a happy healthy place. I really pray my son's faith in God is restored (my son said it was damaged after we had to take care of my brother in law who had had a minor stroke and had major mental health issues). The dark energy that came thru my brother in law while he was with us really threw our family communication for a loop and my son is still recovering. Anyway: please pray for my son that his communication with God heals fully and pray that whatever the "backing up of the train" I saw in my dream is safe and not recklessly done. I am so grateful for you all.

I earlier wrote about an amazing young Lakota man (Brandon Ferguson) in Pine Ridge reservation that organized funding a new home for a destitute family and also helped an elderly grandfather living in a condemned trailer. The frail elderly grandfather got a hole in the ceiling of his trailer patched, his (broken and leaking frigid air windows) replaced, new (used) furniture, painted his place and fixed many other things. This was done with enthusiastic help of others in the community. Recently the Elder was brutally assaulted, was left bleeding out and the assailant was found just watching him and sitting on his couch. There is so much hope rising as a result of this young man galvanizing the community, but the darkness does not want change. Please pray for this Elder. Pray for the community to come together to make a stand for the light to take hold more strongly in this community. They deserve it and need it so much.

I've come across a young man, Brandon Ferguson, who is Lakota Sioux and lives in a very poor town in Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. In the past couple of weeks he has organized and inspired people in his area (Native and non-Native) to help an extremely poor disabled Elder and an almost destitute loving family of Elders who are taking care of their grandkids. They had no heat besides a wood burning stove, plastic over windows, blankets on walls for insulation, no running water, no toilet besides an outhouse (and more). Also, the temperatures have been -10 and the wind chills have been -25 degrees F. This is not (sadly) unheard of--what is new is that this young man is galvanizing enthusiasm among his neighbors. Almost all the comments by his fellow Native people on his Facebook show strong hope and enthusiasm for change. Please pray that this energy of change, hope and practical concrete steps continue to grow like wildfire among the Native community there. Where non-Natives can help, let it be done with respect and efficiency. Let the Spirit of God come into this place and people in a new healing way. Guide Brandon and the people helping him (like Deb Wallenberg and her husband Jim).

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you to God and you all for praying for my family. A few weeks ago I posted about how my family was feeling like it was being attacked by negativity on a whole new level. I asked for support for my daughter who is a senior in college. She was in the worst depression, give up-ness and negativity that I had ever heard from her. She hadn't gone to class for 10 days and hadn't been able to get out of bed either! This is a girl who works out 6 days a week and has a high energy level. She was going to fail a class that she needed for graduation on time. Miracle of miracles--she faced her fears (I told her what Betty always says: "never give up!!!") , among other things, and she got back in the game! She started going to class and struggled but overcame the difficulties with her senior level computer programming class at a competitive college. I urged her to talk to a Counselor and she did. I told her we were praying for her too. In the midst of all that she actually said "yes" to a nice young man that had been asking her out and she is happily dating him--her first boyfriend and he is gracious, giving and wonderful to her. The change-I kid you not-is like night and day. I've known this girl for a long time (ha!) and I've never seen her come out of a funk this bad this fully and completely. Well, yesterday, she texted me that she passed the class and really did understand the material eventually....and is on track to graduate on time!! Whopeee! Thanks to God and all of you and Betty, Jeff and the whole family! This really is a miracle for me, knowing her and where she usually shoots herself in the foot. My husband has turned the corner too--he had been so scarily negative. I asked him what changed and he said "he gave all his problems to God". Again, thank God! Now.....my son is coming home today from college and he has a very mean person to separate from that hates me and my husband. I was feeling overwhelmed that she was going to destroy our communication with our son, but with all this progress, I know God has got our back! And all of you WAVES too, God bless you all. May your holidays hold miracles in your heart like mine feels right now.

Prayers are requested for peace, knowledge of God's will and the courage to act on it and let it all up to God at the end of the day. My teenage son is having difficulty with self image and has gotten into a toxic relationship with someone who we now see as a controlling person. I've spoken with this person kindly about not taking advantage of him or our family's space. We've helped this person out tremendously--helped buy them a car, get them into the local community college and other things. They need to stand on their own two feet now and did not take kindly to loving boundaries. This has not gone over well-and this person is trying to turn my son against me. I love and care for this person but it anguishes me that my son will not talk to me right now. (He originally asked me to contact them about a problem his friend had and I dealt with it from "the Spirit" I got in my heart when I asked God for help). The adversary seems to be at work and I ask for prayers for healing for my communication with my son and strength within my family.

It seems like the adversary is challenging my family on every level. My daughter needs emotional and spiritual strength to stay close to God and finish her last year of college in a successful way. My son needs protection and guidance to hear God that are tempting him with the "dark" side of music and gender issues. My husband has been putting out the worst negativity where he used to be fairly tuned into God and optimistic. I feel like we are under attack and it's a new level of watching my family struggle--we didn't used to be this vulnerable to negativity. Please pray for each one of us and that God's light infuses all our hearts and our communication with each other. I am so grateful for this space and you wonderful people. May God send you his support and love in every way!
