A: an excuse is a bad reason. For example, "I didn't have time" is a common excuse. It's not a good reason, though, because you could always make time by cutting out something else.

So, when someone fails, they can always give many excuses (bad reasons) why they failed. But never a good reason, because if they worked harder, or planned better, they could have succeeded anyway.

A: Learn English while you can. Pray to a God as you have chosen.

A: 2. Pray for R's childcare center life and that he may grow well physically, mentally and spiritually in Christ.
2. Pray for R's childcare center life and for him to grow well physically, mentally and spiritually in Christ.

3. Pray that during pregnancy J will be able to cope with work and caring for D and R.
3. Pray that during pregnancy J will be able to cope with her work and taking care of D and R.
('work'과 'her work'가 둘 다 직장입니다)

There is a difference between 'cope with work and caring for D and R', and 'cope with work and care for D and R'. In the first, 'cope with' applies to both work and the task of caring for those two people. In the second, the meaning of 'cope with' only applies to work. Both of them sound okay.

(의도하신 의미가 무엇인지 확실히 모르겠습니다) 5. Pray for J to be filled with the Holy Spirit in taking care of the ministry of the Sunday School.

A: "You're his son" would sound more natural

A: Yes, the (') is sometimes used. The (') (called an apostrophe) is used when you are pushing two words to make one word. So "it is" can be pushed together to make "it's". (This does not work with all words). The apostrophe (') is also used to show that something belongs to someone. Example, "that is my friend's book." The exception to this rule is with "it". Because the apostrophe (') is used to show that "it is" is being pushed together it does not show possession. So "its" is used to show that something belongs with "it". For example, "That toy is missing its hand." In your case you are using "its" but you do not state what belongs to it. It would be better to say, "Pray for it."
