October prayer requests

Hi all-
We have a few things we'd appreciate prayer for this month. Thanks.
~ As always, finances. Just pray that we'll be wise with our money and that as the holiday season approaches and expenses increase, we'll be secure and able to enjoy time with our family.
~ Travel. I'm traveling to the cities and home this weekend, so just pray that the roads are safe and the car is in good shape. Also, gas prices are falling! Pray (for all of us!) that prices will stay down and/or keep falling to ease the pressure of traveling across the country for Thanksgiving.
~ School. I'm starting to really stress everything I have to finish in not very much time, so just pray that I'll be able to keep my sanity as I wrap up my college career and that I'll get everything done. I have a lot of papers to write, including a 15-20 page research paper, and I want them to be the best I can produce, so pray that I can do that!
~ Patience and trust in God's plan. Many of you know what we've gone through in the past few months and how rough the next few weeks will be (and if you don't know, please don't ask, just pray for us anyway). I'm trying very hard to trust in God's plan for it all and remember that He has a reason for everything.

Thanks all.
