Please pray for my mother Thelma. She is 76 years old and has to go through a coronary angiogram threaded through the wrist today (11/9/18). That there are no complications from this procedure. Please pray that she makes it through safe and that if a stint is placed that she recovers fully.

For M whose panic and anxiety stop him from applying for jobs and doing the things he wants. Now becoming a Dad this is even more pressing for him. Professional counselling hasn't made any difference.
