For My Book and My Parents

[beatitude]

My publisher wants the first draft of my manuscript by 4th January. I'm stalling with it. Please pray for me to finish it in time, and for God to bless the work and accomplish good things with it.

Please pray for my parents, especially my dad. It's the first Christmas since my nana died (his mother). There has been a lot of trouble and spite in the family over her will, and as my dad was the executor, he has had to deal with it all. He rarely complains, but I know he feels hurt by how some of our relatives have behaved. Pray for the relatives too, that God may make us all compassionate and generous to one another.
