Hello, and thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I’m reaching out with a heartfelt and deeply personal request for prayer during one of the most overwhelming and emotional seasons of my life. I am facing two major battles at the same time — serious health concerns and a housing situation that could truly change the direction of my life — and I’m asking for prayer because I know I can’t carry all of this on my own.
On the health side, I’ve been dealing with frightening issues involving my right kidney and my colon. My right kidney has been swollen and causing complications, and the uncertainty of what this means has been incredibly hard to face. At the same time, I’ve been experiencing colon issues that have added even more fear and stress. I’m also asking for prayer over my left kidney, because I want both kidneys to be healthy, strong, and functioning the way they should. Some days the worry feels heavier than I can put into words. The fear of what the doctors might find, the waiting, the physical discomfort — it all builds up in ways that shake me emotionally and mentally. I’m trying to stay strong, but the truth is, this has taken a real toll on me.
I’m asking for prayer that my right kidney will shrink back down to normal size, that any swelling or damage will be healed, and that it will function properly again. I’m asking for prayer that my left kidney remains healthy and strong. I’m asking for prayer that my colon will be healed and restored, and that whatever is causing these issues will be resolved without surgery or complications. I’m praying for peace, clarity, and strength as I navigate all of this, and I’m asking for your prayers to help lift me up when I feel overwhelmed.
At the same time, something deeply meaningful is happening in my life regarding housing. I recently connected with a community manager named Trish about a one‑bedroom home, and I truly feel blessed to have crossed paths with her. She has been incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate, and the way she has guided me through everything has made such a difference. After losing my wife, I’ve spent years trying to rebuild my life. I lived my entire life in a home, and adjusting to apartment living has been extremely difficult. These past years have been heavy, and the stress of trying to stay afloat in a place that never feels like “home” has worn me down emotionally in ways I didn’t expect.
That’s why this opportunity means so much. This isn’t just a move — this feels like the beginning of a new chapter. This home represents stability, peace, and the chance to finally breathe again. It represents a place where I can heal, where I can feel grounded, where I can feel safe. And the fact that it is a real home — not an apartment — means everything to me. I’ve missed that feeling more than I can express. The layout, the quiet neighborhood, the sense of space, the ability to finally feel settled — all of it feels like a gift I’ve been praying for.
The rent is also far more affordable than what I’m paying now, and that alone brings me a sense of relief I haven’t felt in a long time. It lifts a huge weight off my shoulders and gives me room to live, heal, and move forward without the constant financial pressure that has been suffocating me. This home truly gives me hope again — hope for stability, hope for healing, hope for a fresh start after years of struggle.
I’m asking for prayer that everything goes smoothly with this home — that there are no setbacks, no complications, and no obstacles. I’m praying that the application process goes well, that the timing works out, and that I’m able to move into this home that would mean so much to me. I’m also praying that I’ll be able to leave my current place free and clear with the medical release I’ve submitted, so I can move forward without any issues holding me back.
If you feel led, I would be deeply grateful if you could share my request with your prayer partners, friends, family, church groups, or anyone who believes in the power of lifting others up. Your prayers mean more to me than I can express. I truly believe that when people come together in prayer, strength rises where fear once stood, and peace settles into places that feel overwhelmed.
Thank you for caring. Thank you for praying. And thank you for standing with me during this difficult and emotional time.
With gratitude,
Jeff
