Karen S. requests prayers for a friend who is a single Christian dad.  He was laid off and he has found work but the new job pays half of what he was making. He is trying to play catch up but PEPCO is going to shut off his utilities today until he can pay everything owed. The mortgage company is also pressuring him and he will have to send his children to live elsewhere until he can earn enough to catch things up. He needs prayer to make it through.
