Please Pray For Valerie

[rhetoricfemme]

Could you please pray for my friend Valerie? I haven't spoken to her about personal issues lately, but I feel like she is going through an awful lot right now, and I know that her life is somewhat overwhelming. She is the mother of four, two of them are twins. While she went to high school with me, she just recently got her GED, and she was very proud of this. She recently took down a many graduation pictures of herself from this spring, and I suspect there are people in her life that are making her feel ashamed of herself.

She's a loving and devoted mother, a very sweet person, but some of the people in her life are the sort of folks who try to bring her down.

Please pray for Valerie, that she find strength and comfort in God. Please pray that she would be surrounded by love and trusthworthy people, and that she would see all the wonderful and lovely things that her children see in her. And please, pray that she would not feel discouraged or ashamed of herself, but that she would continue to go forward in life.
