Please pray for me. I have diabetes and little or no will power to control it. I try to do my best but most foods are off limit. Its so hard to change the way I eat, purely southern. Pray that I find the strength to save my life. Thanks in advance for your prayers.
Lord, I stand with Michelle and understand how hard it is to give up food choices that have been lifetime favorites. I pray the as she looks to you for her help that you pour your strength into her weakness. May she embrace the challenge and discover there are ways that she can still enjoy her food. May she have a thankful heart for what she has, and thankful that her health can be restored simply by enjoying the right foods. May she focus on what she can gain and not what she has lost. Be her joy, O Lord, and bless her with all she has need of. In Jesus' loving name I ask, amen.
Please pray for my nephew. He is 18 and estranged from family. Pray for healing of hurts and clarity of mind, and restoration first to God and then to family. Pray for protection from evil. This is a heartbreaking situation to all who love him. Thank you. I came looking for recipes and find Christian support. God bless you.
Lord, thank you for putting us in a family - YOUR family, where we can lean on each other for love, support and encouragement. And we can stand together in prayer ... seeking and believing for your goodness released in every situation. Lord, I pray for this young man, who has his life before him but has already experienced enough pain and heartbreak resulting from wrong choices - his own or others around him. I pray that your love pursue him and melt his heart toward you. Protect him from all evil plotted against him - protect him from those things that would destroy him and pull him farther away from you and his family. Take this family and restore them so dramatically that all who see who give you honor and glory, knowing that it was a miracle from your hand. Bless all in the extended family as they circle their loved one with hands lifted up to you! Place a hedge around this teenager that he will be hemmed in until he surrenders his all to you ! I praise you for what you are going to do .. in Jesus' name , amen.
I'd cherish prayers as my fiancee and I face the ongoing challenge of his unemployment and the stress and financial strain it creates. I want to be a positive and supportive partner, but am often overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. I ask for prayers for him too, that he remains hopeful and motivated and that circumstances will ultimately be positive and lead to exciting new endeavors. We shift between moments of hope...and then anxiety that leaves us feeling worried about the future. Thank you.
Oh dear heavenly Father .. I pray for this dear couple and I pray that as they are already facing trials and difficulties that they will learn early in their relationship that you have put them together to be stronger together ! May they learn to cast all their cares upon you because you will never fail them. You will be their Source and their Strength and their daily Guide. May their love for each other be where all their fears and anxieties melt because together IN you they cannot fall. Bless them in ways they could never think or imagine and may they be a blessing to many ... in Jesus' name, amen.
A verse my husband and I took on for ourselves when we were dating/engaged was in Phillippians 4:6 "Don't worry about anything. Tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers." We memorized it and began to pray together. I must say it's probably one of the secrets of a long married life. God bless you for seeking Him.
I would like to ask for your prayers for the upcoming the holidays that its going to be a very tough ones without our beloved mother whom went back with the Lord in June 30th of this year. My siblings are already getting emotional daily. The ones with their mother all their life are the one whom taking it hard. The house (mom's house) is empty and every time they enter the house they break down and its very lonely to see the house being empty. Please pray for my sisters. One of my sister lost her only one daughter in 2006 and mom was the only one she had; now mom is gone again and its so hard for my sister to keep going. There is no one to talk to; or be with during the day. Its so hard on her. Need your prayers please. Thank You!
Dear Lord, the loss of a loved one is hard, life is never the same again and the pain is real, but you have sent the Comforter into our hearts. I pray for this family that is trying to deal with life without the one who was always there for them. I thank you, Father that you have promised we will all be together once again - our loved ones have just gone before us and are but one step away. Help these sisters to find their security in you and find that hope that gives strength for this earthly life. May their memories of their dear mother keep her close and may knowing she is experiencing joy unending bring joy to them even in their grief. Cover them with your love that is sweeter even than a mother's love and may they find rest in your peace. In Jesus' name, I ask... and thank you for being ever present with your children, amen.
Dear grieving family... we know that this year of "firsts" is such a hard one. I remember when my brother-in-law passed away and his family tried to picutre Christmas without him. They began a tradition, something that they could focus on to make their time together unique, like maybe each bringing an ornament that reminded them of their dad. Whatever you do, may your time as siblings be a reflection of what you know would bring a smile to your mom and be a comfort to you as you begin new traditions. Praying God's comfort for you.
Thanks so much to the both of you for your uplifting in your prayers. I go over and over the prayer you both replied back. Thanks again. Keep praying for us.
Please pray for my 4 year old son's upcoming dentist appt. He has to have crowns put on some teeth and some cavities filled so they are going to put him under general anesthesia. It seems so silly of me to worry but I am honestly terrified of having him put asleep. Thank you so much!
Oh Lord, how I understand this mother's concern - taking my daughter to the dentist was one of my very least favorite things to have to do. I am so thankful for the new approach they have to children's dentistry now and also thankful that this dear little one will not have any traumatic memories. My granddaughters had to have work done under anesthesia and I prayed with an anxious heart - they did so well! I pray for Sara that you will cover her with your peace - may she know that her child will be in your hands and that no harm will come to him. May she hear you whisper that there is nothing silly about being anxious over her little son, that you also hover with great concern over every one of your children. Give the dentist a caring, compassionate approach with skill and wisdom to do the work that needs doing. May the day end in joy and relief and praise to you for carrying them through the whole experience on angels wings! Hold them close and melt all fear and anxiety... in Jesus' name I ask, knowing you have already heard and answered. amen.

Please pray for my husband D. He's a wonderful person but worries too much about what he doesn't have, is very self critical and doesn't realize how wonderful life is. He sometimes is depressed and just doesn't seem happy much. I'd love to see him be grateful and realize how lucky we are! Thank you and blessings...
Lord, I pray you comfort this grandfather's grieving heart as he misses his precious little granddaughter. She left this earth too soon but went straight into your loving arms where she is loved beyond what she could ever be loved here on earth .. never will she suffer even one hurt or shed one single tear. May your love enfold Maurice in your peace and comfort, reassuring him his sweet girl is forever safe and the memories are a gift no one nor time can take away. in Jesus' name, amen.
Lord, I pray for D that he will take a look around him and see how much you have given him ... may his eyes open to see there is much in his life to be grateful for, most of all the loved ones around him. May he experience your love for him, may it fill his heart to overflowing so that he recognizes that as he gives to others so it returns to himself. You know how to reach him, Lord .. and I pray that his heart will be open to hear your voice and to see his 'world' through your eyes. in Jesus' name, amen.
Lord God, you are the God of miracles and you see this need. We ask that you meet this need in the way that you have already planned. Give this person peace as they trust in your provision, knowing that your promises are true and faithful. In Jesus' name we pray and give you our praise, amen.
I'm caught in a cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul and it's caught up with me. I'm terrified of the repercussions of my foolish actions. I've only been trying to stay afloat but was still in the wrong. I feel sick to my stomach. Please pray for courage and wisdom and kindness and compassion as I take responsibility for my errors.
Oh... when the consequences of our choices catch up with us, we feel the pain of fear and guilt and shame. O Lord, even then you are waiting for us to call out to you. You are waiting for our confession, for us to acknowledge our sin and be willing to make things right. Not in our own strength but in yours, for you will walk with us through whatever we must face. Lord, I pray that you work in these circumstances to bring about a conclusion that will bring glory to you and will work in this contrite soul a desire for a closer walk with you - to throw themselves on your mercy, trusting in your compassion and goodness toward them. May you grant them a reprieve, Lord ... I stand with them asking for your mercy ... In Jesus' name, amen
Oh Lord, this dear one has stayed on my mind and I know she has been on yours. May she find the trust in her heart to believe that 'come what may' You have her best in mind and will work things out for good ... Fill her heart with peace as she fully trusts in you to be her advocate. In Jesus' loving name, amen
When you walked this earth, Lord, you,in compassion, healed those that came to you. You are still the same God of compassion with healing in your hand. Please lay your hand on Jamie's son and grant him health and strength. And if you heal through the wisdom of man, may this new doctor have divine wisdom to diagnose correctly and prescribe the right treatment. Comfort this mother's heart and bless this family with your goodness. We ask in your loving name, Jesus.. amen.
Pray for my Family lord Jesus as some of us follow you while others are not so compassionate; I know that you are the son of God and came to forgive our sins completely. And know that the universe is too incredible not to be yours. I want all my family to be with you someday. I put my faith and trust in you and ask that you guide and protect me and my family dear lord.
Lord, I echo this one's heart burden for their family. We yearn for our loved ones to be enfolded in your Shepherd arms. Draw each unsaved member of this family with your cords of love and may their hearts be moved to recognize their need. Bring into each one's life the people or circumstances or influence that will cause them to see you as Lord and Creator - one to whom they owe their worship and trust. In Jesus' name, amen
Please pray for me I am on a limited income and winter is especially hard. I have to borrow money this month to pay bills I just want to be able to pay this money back. Pray that I will be able to make it thru the winter.
Lord, you hear this mother's cry for her son. I pray that you grant wisdom and the right doctor to help. We know that you can also heal beyond what doctors can understand or know. Heal this son and enable him to live his life productively and with contentment - fulfilling your plan and purposes. Give this mother faith in your goodness and may she place her trust in you, resting in your love and grace. In Jesus' name, amen.
Father, according to your riches in glory you provide for your children. I pray for a financial miracle for the provision needed by this dear one. Fill her basket to overflowing and may she not have a single unmet need this winter. Cause her limited income be as the widow's grain and oil ... that it be more than enough. Cause this one's heart to be encouraged and blessed by your abundance and your overflowing love for her! in Jesus' name , amen.
Oh Lord, you are never early with your answers... not because you do not have a plan but because you test our faith - will we trust you? I pray for this one whose heart is understandably feeling terror... anxiety washing over her. I pray for your peace - that is beyond understanding - to wash away her fears and melt her into the trust a child has when they are in their parents arms. You have not forsaken her, you are as close to her as her breath and you will cause all this to work out for good. All you ask is for her to trust you. May this situation be resolved quickly and Christmas be a time of thanksgiving. I plead for your mercy, in Jesus' name, amen.
November of 2014 I began asking you to pray for me. Last December (2015) I experienced my own Christmas miracle as my husband once again turned his heart to me. In February of 2016 he admitted that he needed help and this past summer he finally found some relief for his chronic pain. Life is not perfect. The events of the past 2 years have left us in a financially precarious situation and his pain is not completely resolved (and may never be), but he and I are a unit once again and for this I am truly, truly grateful. Knowing that you were praying for me gave me great comfort as I struggled to hold our family together. I am thankful to you for your prayers and to God for leading me through the past years of pain. I ask that you continue to pray for my family and wish you all the blessings of the Christmas season.
Praise the Lord for His kindness and mercy. The end is near. Thank you so much for praying. I cannot express how much it means to me, that a stranger would petition on my behalf. Bless you.
This one has been on my heart, Lord, and I pray that today went in her favor and that you have provided a way out for her - a way to make things right again. Give her wisdom to bring her finances under control and manage her affairs in a way that lets her sleep undisturbed at night. Bless her, Father and continue to work out every detail according to your perfect will, in Jesus' name , amen.
Lord, thank you for working in this family for good - binding them closer to each other and to you. Your love and mercy covered them and carried them through the last difficult years. I pray that you cause your grace and glory to shine upon their home and that all who enter would be blessed by your abiding peace upon this family. May this Christmas be one they will remember as one over which you poured your miracle of love. Thank you for them, for this wife's faithful trust in you that did not let go .. and may you continue to bless them with your abundance in every way ... in Jesus' mighty name, amen !!
Lord, we praise you for your heart of compassion for your children .. and thank you that there are no strangers in your family - we are all one in you, and it is a privilege to lift each other up when we are in need. Bless this one with JOY this Christmas ... in Jesus wonderful name, Amen !!
I would to request for a prayer for my daughter, Melissa, for God's favor in this job that she's having an interview tomorrow (12-14-16); she asked me to pray for me mom God's willing she will get this job. She's been working for over 9 plus years without a pension, no health insurance coverage, and she's at a lowest paying level working with the children at Day Care whom she loved doing. Please pray she applied for directing/leadership with Girls and Boys club with good pay, pensions etc. All God's will.
Please pray for my only brother David, will set-free from alcohol, he's gotten worse after our mom passed in June of this year. He is missing his mom, all he says and being drunk is the only way of not thinking of mom he says. He prays to God, but addictions to alcohol is taking over him.
Lord, I pray for Melissa that she will receive favor in her interview tomorrow and the job be offered to her. Please provide for her in all areas of need, and bless her in her work situation that the benefits she needs will be added to her. In Jesus' name, our Provider, amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for David who is looking for comfort in the wrong places. I pray that your love for him draw him and he finds that peace and security he seeks. May he be freed from his addiction and alcohol no longer hold him. May his grief find a resting place in the memories of his mother and may he be comforted. I ask that the help he needs will come to him - the right people able to minister to him. In Jesus' name I ask, amen.
Please add my sister Norma, to your list. She is in the hospital with a serious lung infection. She has asthma and COPD also, which complicate the situation. She is a former smoker. I do not question God's plan. I pray she is comfortable and not afraid of the long road ahead of her. Thank you ��
Dear Lord, I pray for Norma who is suffering in hospital with serious lung and asthma health issues. You never withhold from us because we have not always made good choices - but you are waiting for us to call out to you for help. You answer every cry. I ask that Norma experiences the comfort of your enveloping peace and that there will be no fear in her heart as she faces the coming days. May your perfect will for her be a blessing to her and to others. O Lord, we know that you can miraculously heal... but most you want to be glorified in and through us. Thank you for Susan, a supportive sister .. give them both strength for the journey ahead as they share your love with each other. In Jesus' name, amen.
Your and our prayers are answered. Melissa got the job and is very happy she will be getting all the benefits included in this job with good pay. Blessed your hearts and God works miraculously anytime if you believed! Merry Christmas to all my christsistren! Hugs n love!
Please pray for me I get bad headaches and pray that I will make it through the nights while I report for my shifts each nights. I am drained out working. We need more staffs soon, so I will get off working extra hours. Please pray for our office staff will have full coverages soon.
Please pray for my father Edward, in nursing home, struggling with Parkinson's and at times he doesn't taking any food; muscles are getting weak to even not swallowing his medications also. Pray pray for him. He is the only one parent we are looking at for strengths after losing our beloved mom in June 2016. My father sometimes asked "where is mom" We just have tearzzzz running down our cheeks. We don't know if his mind is weak (alheimers) or? Please pray for our father Edward, he is suffering so much. He's gotten boney at this time and ends up in hospital more often for IV's and antibiotics. Per his doctor, there's not much he can do if he is very fragile to poke needles, etc. Pray for us all siblings still grieving deeply for our beloved mom passed. We only have our father now.
Ohh ! thank you, Lord - we praise you for this answer to our request! Bless Melissa in her new job and may it be one in which she can joyfully serve You and others! Grant this family a very special Christmas filled with your abundance and joy! In Jesus' name, amen ..
Oh Father, headaches can be so debilitating. i pray that you grant healing - either miraculous or medically- for this one who is trying to deal with a stressful work situation. Grant her wisdom and the staff that is needed to cover the needs of this ministry. May the office staff be able to facilitate to allow for a good working environment. You know what is needful and you are able to provide ... in you we trust ... In Jesus' name, amen
Father, I pray for this grieving family, having lost their beloved mother and now struggling to see their Dad suffering and slipping away from them too. I pray for strength for them and peace and comfort. I pray for the physical needs of their Dad - that the best care would be given him to allow him the best health. May they have caring and compassionate care givers, not just to the father but the children as well. May their love for each other be the bond that carries them through and may you be their eternal Father and Provider. In Jesus' name, amen.
Christmas is less than a week away, and I'm feeling down that my spouse won't be able to travel with me for the holidays due to finances. Please pray for peace and comfort for us both as we're apart. He's feeling very anxious, as well, about being alone. Oh how we'd love a Christmas miracle so he could travel, but alas, it doesn't appear to be in the cards for this year.
Lord, there is no time like Christmas when we long to be with our loved ones. I pray for this couple that may have to spend the holidays apart. I pray for a miracle that they may yet be able to find a way for the husband to travel with his wife. OR you may have another plan they have not yet considered. Give them eyes to see what you would bring to them. Grant that this Christmas will be a joy to their hearts and have special meaning for who you are -- the Christ-child - the Messiah - the Giver of good gifts to His children ! May faith arise in this couples hearts to believe that you can and will work all things for good. Bless them in Jesus' name, amen.
Lord, you tell us to comfort one another with the comfort we ourselves have received. Knowing the suffering of rheumatoid arthritis, I have learned to lean on your strength in my weakness and your comfort is sweet. I pray for this one who is in pain and feeling the limitations her suffering causes - I pray that you touch her body with healing in your wings and and help her to rest in your grace and goodness, knowing that your plan for her is not diminished by her body's limitations. Take her pain away, restore her to health according to your will and power - and grant her a heart full of thanksgiving and praise. May she know the fullness of your grace. Bless her abundantly, this Christmas season, in Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for God's favor in getting this job that he applied for months back; his boss received a call for how he is with his job and so forth. The boss told him he gave them a good person to work with, and he knew his skills, no problem with the job at all. Please pray for my son, Brian to get this job. Its a good paying job and that's what he's looking for his family. God knows all the plan ahead. God's willing it will be done. Thank God's for every little things. God is an awesome God.
Lord, I agree with this mother for her son, Brian. I pray that you grant him favor with employers that he will be offered the job he needs to provide generously for his family. I pray that that your blessings be upon this family that they thrive under your loving care and may they serve you with all you give them. In Jesus' name ... amen.
Please pray for my health. I'm young (30) but have been ill for a while. Stomach ulcers (I can't eat much - a sad reality at the the holidays) and I have constant back pain and internal pain. I can't work, and have young children. My husband is wonderful but can't do it all in his own. Please pray for health, financial stability through this and for calming of fears (cause I always expect the worst) Thank you <3
Lord, I intercede for this young wife and mother, struggling with debilitating health issues. I ask first of all that you would calm her fears, her anxieties and overwhelm her with your peace. May she learn to rest in you, knowing that that the plans you have for her life are good. Grant her the health she needs to be able to take care of her family, to be the mother her children need ... and be able to be a supportive wife. Thank you for an understanding husband who is carrying a double load. Gift them with a miracle, wrapped in your love, this Christmas, and may the things that make their lives difficult -- the financial worries, the anxiety, the pain, the ulcers -- all be removed by a supernatural touch of your hand. Bless this family as you desire to bless them - abundantly above what they could ask for ... in Jesus' powerful name I ask, amen.
I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers. Over Thanksgiving, I asked you to pray for my sister to become pregnant. You responded with the most beautiful prayer that made my sister, my mom and me get teary and feel so touched. Your prayers have worked, and just recently she found out she is pregnant with a healthy, beautiful baby. Her husband and her, as well as our entire family is overjoyed and feel so blessed.
Again, from the very bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your prayers and support. This baby is a Christmas miracle! I am so happy to have this community!
Oh Lord, you are the God of miracles ... and in your love for us you let us share with each other the joy of answered prayer!! And I do rejoice with this family anticipating the birth of a beautiful miracle child. Bless this family in their coming and their going .. and may your joy and peace fill their homes and hearts this Christmas season. In Jesus' precious name , amen .
I have come to you before and everything was wonderful. Unfortunately another tumor was found in my husband and we are starting from square one again. Please remember him in your prayers. Thank you.
Lord, I am reminded of how you touched the blind man's eyes and he was only partially healed and you touched him again, and then he was fully healed! We are thankful for your healing hand on Patty's husband, but we ask that you touch him again to heal him completely! May their trust in you not waver, and may they rejoice in your answers. Give Patty's husband the strength he needs for the journey before him, and give him and Patty a wonderful peace as they trust in your good purposes. In Jesus' wonderful name and for His glory I ask ... amen.
God is good and He did answered our prayers (hallelujah) I've asked for prayer through you beautiful ladies to pray for my daughter, Melissa, for favor in getting a job that she applied for and in no time she got hired on the spot. Thanks for all your prayers! Please continue to pray for her as she will be driving quite a distance in heavy traffic to and from work daily. Pray for God's protection as she drives in heavy traffic and the job she will be new to this as a supervisor position. Pray she will do the job and will have nice staffs and will get along with staffs, and be a Team work to her.
Thank you, Lord, for answered prayer ... we rejoice with Melissa and her mother and praise you for your goodness ! We ask that your protection be upon Melissa as she commutes to and from work and that your favour rest upon her - in job performance and in staff relationships. May she be a blessing even as she is blessed ! Again - you are worthy of all glory ! In Jesus' name, amen !
God is GRACIOUS! on her first day at work today was she overjoyed telling me the staff, administration, her staff that she will oversee are very nice, and were all glad to see her to became on board as a director. She has a christresen sister that will be her supervisor. She is very happy to get this job. Please continue to keep her in your prayers throughout her career. Pray for the little children through Youth that she will make plans for. She loves to work with children, as she does not have any children of her own and single. She loves to be around children. Some she babysits often. Thanks again for your support in your prayers.
(thank you for the update .. we are so happy for your daughter ... and will continue to pray for God to bless her as she blesses the children and Youth and the staff she works with - that even as she plans, the plans will be of the Lord ! )
I pray for God divine intervention for a career path. I am currently on maternity leave. I am set to return to teaching in the fall. I love my students and my job. But I know I'll miss my time with my kids. I am in discussion with my friend about starting a daycare or preschool. It would be a dream and a fun experience that I can take my kids too. But it feels risky and scary too. It's not the same amount of money. It doesn't have retirement security. I would be leaving a job I loved. I pray God gives me some clear answers that are immediate. And that I know it is clearly Gods direction. Bless me.
O Lord, how we need your wisdom to make the right choices in our life. I pray for this mother who is facing an important decision that will impact her life, as well as the life of her family, in huge ways. Help her to trust that you know and have planned the best path for her ... help her to trust you enough that she will follow even as you light her way step by step. May faith arise in her heart that you are able to provide for all her future needs - that you are not limited in resources. Even as she has asked for divine wisdom, you have promised to give it. And as she makes decisions, grant her the confirmation she needs by causing the details to fall into place beyond her expectations. Thank you, that the desire of this mother's heart is to follow you. Bless her and her family and keep them safe in your loving care. In Jesus' name, amen.
Hello we are trying to sell our home in South NJ, the market it is VERY BAD, it is almost impossible to sell a home here...can you please pray that our home sells....thank you so much
Oh Lord, what do you care about the market - if it is your will that Maria moves, you already have a buyer for her house waiting in the wings.. and you will bring them forward in your perfect timing ! Give Maria a trusting and patient heart as she waits on you to move according to your plan. Cause all the details that need to fall into place for Maria's family, to come together in such a way that they will be in awe at your wondrous working in their situation. You are their Provider, their Father and the Source of all blessings in their lives ... Be glorified and may they give you all the praise! In Jesus' name, amen.
I have asked for prayer several times since June when my friend David had a stroke. I am very sad to say that on Jan. 14th David passed away. I miss him so much and need prayer to help me through this difficult time. Thank you.
Dear Father, you are the Comforter and I pray that your very real Presence will ease the grief of Janina's loss. I pray that her sadness may be overshadowed by the precious memories she has of her friendship with David. Walk her through this valley, this time of pain and sorrow and may she find your peace in it and even surprising joy. Bless her with compassionate and caring friends who know how to come alongside... In Jesus' name I ask, amen.
Please pray for wisdom and peace for our financial planning so we can get caught up on our overdue bills and have enough money to stay afloat going forwards.
Lord, I pray for this couple struggling financially. I pray that you grant them wisdom and discipline to manage their finances in a way that allows them to get caught up and live within their means. I pray that you supply over and above their needs and bless them with your generous goodness. May they trust in you to lead and guide them, even in the area of finances because your desire is for your children to prosper - in body, soul and spirit! Thank you for your abundant care ... in Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for me in the area of finances. I am waiting for Disability hearing (very long process), meanwhile it is getting very difficult to pay my bills--don't want to lose my home--have a disabled adult daughter and a grandson that live with me. I just discovered your blog, very enjoyable reading.
Lord, I bring Robin before you today ... you already know her and every detail of her life. In a world that seems to care little about our situations, we know that we have a security in you that is not dependent on the riches of this world but is unchanging in your character and heavenly riches. You care for each day's needs and I pray that you would provide for Robin in such a way that notonly are all her needs met but she is astounded by your miraculous supply. I pray for the medical needs of herself and her daughter - I pray for healing, for compassionate wisdom of doctors/medical staff and for comfort and peace where there is anxiety or fear. May your love be enveloping over them and may they rest and trust, knowing that in you they will have no lack. We thank you for your Father heart ... thank you that you have already sent every answer to every prayer need ... in Jesus name we praise you, amen.
I would ask for prayer for the United States and our new President. I have prayed for our nation to be stirred up and repent and come back to Him for a long time but what is happening now is very scary. It seems that a cauldron of hatred and vileness has been unleashed and we are being swept along by it and it is very much out of our control. I know this is a heart issue and a long-time rebellion issue, esp among women and now our young people , who despise being told what to do by anyone. We still are a selfish and proud and self-worshipping people and we need God so desperately.....your post this morning spoke of waiting on God and that his timing is perfect and that He still loves us, I would ask for prayer to help me remember that. Thank you, Julie
Lord, you look down on the people of this earth.. people you created with the purpose that they should live in loving relationship with you and each other, but you see rebellious hearts and the chaos that follows. I thank you for those, like JKK who ask people to stand with her in prayer for her nation. May you grant repentance to sweep the land and change hearts, that love would melt hatred and anger and fear. I pray for the new leader, President Trump - may he be your 'man' through whom you bring the right kind of changes. Give him wisdom and grace and protection. You have said "when my people pray and seek my face..." Lord, we seek you on behalf of our nations, the United States and Canada - preserve us, O God - may we continue to live in peace. May we never take our blessings for granted, but may we,your people rise up and be counted - may we be seen and heard. Starting each in our own corner, may we reflect your Light in our very dark world. I pray that we will stand, not in our weakness but in your strength, to uphold the goodness and the glory of your Kingdom that is forever and ever!! amen.
I am in a difficult work situation, my partner is a non-believer and is very condescending to me, criticizing my abilities and is very negative both to his work and mine. It is very difficult to share an office with him. I am praying that God softens his heart. Thank you for prayer, I read your blog and I find great comfort in it.
Please pray for me to have a healthy back/spine/hips. I injured my back in May, got better over 5 months, then had another set back. Then I fell on an icy road last week. It seems like 1 step forward,2 steps back. It's been a financial hardship as well. I just want a permanent healing/ strengthening, giving God the glory. Nancy
O Lord, I pray for Nancy and the discouraging set back, re-injuring herself when she was finally on the road to recovery. I pray that this time her healing will be quick and complete - that she will be able to resume her normal duties. May she rest in you, knowing that, while she may not understand why she is going through this difficulty you are still in control and have her good in mind and will bring it about. Heal her body, and relieve the financial pressure - for your glory.. You are worthy, O Lord, and we thank you for all that you have already decreed. In Jesus' name, amen.
Dear Lord, I pray for Joanie and her difficult work situation. How stressful it is to be in a close working relationship with someone who is difficult. I pray for this office-partner that he would change his attitude - that he would be moved to see how he is affecting his partner. I pray for Joanie that you would give her an understanding heart to see what is behind the hurtful words/actions of this man - perhaps a hurt/sorrow/bitterness of his own. A soft answer turns away wrath - may she have wisdom in knowing how to respond to him. If there is something she can do that will change the atmosphere of their office, may she see clearly what it is. You can also give her a new partner if that is the answer. You know all the ins and outs of this situation and I know that you have the perfect solution. I thank you for your able willingness to change the stress into blessings ... May good will rule in that workplace. May all malice and ill will be left at the door - and only peace and kindness step over the thresh hold. Bless Joanie with your goodness and may she be able to go to work with joy in her heart instead of fear or trembling. In Jesus' name, I ask... amen.
Please pray for my dear friend Maria . She is palliative . I pray daily for her peace and for her to not suffer and to know she is in God's loving arms . God bless
God has blessed my husband and I beyond measure in many ways. In 2014 He saved my husband's life after a mistake in surgery almost killed him. Now, I ask that he restore my husband to good health as he has some effects of that surgery that cannot be corrected by more surgery. God can touch him with healing and I ask that He do that as he did before. I know I am selfish and want my husband in good health for my own benefit too. God knows my heart; please pray that he answers my request.
Lord, I pray for Maria whom you are calling home. Having just lost my own mother I know how heaven becomes so real. I pray that you would grant Maria a painless and peaceful crossing over from this earthly realm to the glorious realm awaiting all your children. I pray for comfort for Maria's family and friends ... May they remember the love they shared and be comforted by the knowledge that the parting is but for a time - thankful that God's children do not grieve without hope! Thank you, for this Lord ... thank you for Maria's life and for those who are gathered with her as she ends her journey. May they all be so aware of your Presence and may their sorrow be tempered with joy... Only in you, Lord, do we trust and pray in Jesus' name. amen.
Father, you give us the desires of our hearts and you also answer them. I pray for this daughter of yours who longs for a child to love and nurture. I pray for her to have the patience to wait for your perfect timing and for your perfect plan. May she not doubt but know that you have her heart's desire close to your heart and you will fulfill it. Open her womb, Lord, that she may conceive. Bless her home and prepare it for the family that you have planned for them! We give you all glory and praise, in Jesus' name we pray, amen.
Thank you, Lord, for the miracle that you gave Sandra's husband, that the surgical error did not take his life. Now, there are still evidences of this physical damage and I pray that you heal his body completely. May nothing hinder the life-plans that you have for this couple. May they be blessed in you and in each otherand be a blessing to those whose lives they touch. Fill their hearts with joy and their mouths with thanksgiving ! In Jesus' name, amen.
I am asking prayers for my son and my daughter and her family. They have heard the word, but do not choose to follow God. I am also asking for you to pray for my struggle with diabetes.
I am sharing this battle with you, Michelle. I start over every day. I am praying tonight for your resolve to eat properly and that your numbers are what you desire in the morning. Please pray for me, too.
My name is Darlene. I live in Tennessee and I have followed your blog for about 3 years now. I ordered your last cookbook for a friend of mine. I thank God for the encouragement that your ministry has given me every week that I read your Bread for the Journey. I have walked with Jesus since I was 12 years old. I am now 61 and I still love the Lord. My request is for our 34 year old son who is married and has 4 beautiful children . Our son has been addicted to drugs for 17 years now. The children range in age from 2-13. They haven't been taken to church on a regular basis their whole lives. As they get older, my husband and I can see more and more the toil that this situation has on the children. We have prayed for a lot of years for Nathan and our hope is that Nathan will surrender to God. Thank you, ahead of time, for praying for our son. Thank you for being faithful followers of Jesus.
Father, you desire that all come to a full salvation - you desire for all to receive your free gift and follow Jesus. I ask with this mother yearning for her children to know you. I pray that you bring into their thoughts and lives those things that will cause them to turn their eyes on you. May they recognize your love in their lives and respond with open hearts. I also pray for this mother to be able to deal with her diabetes, that it will be controlled and we know that you can also heal her completely. May she rest in you and walk in the wisdom you give us when we but ask for it. Bless this family - every one! in Jesus' name, amen.
Lord, I pray for Jan as she too struggles to manage the needful changes for her health. Give her wisdom and self-control so that it is no longer a 'battle' but rather a chosen way of life. Fill her life with the sweetness of your goodness that her focus is not on what she cannot have but the 'much' she has in you! In Jesus' name, amen.
Only your patience, Lord, surpasses the faithful prayers of parents for their children. As long as there is life, we know that you are still reaching out with your mercy, extending your loving hand toward our unsaved sons and daughters. I pray for Darlene, I pray that you encourage her, that she will not become discouraged praying for her family. I pray for Nathan - I pray that you orchestrate his life in such a way that he will find himself walled in, in such a tight place that there is only direction for him to look - UP! May nothing he turns to comfort or satisfy him until he recognizes his need of you. I pray for his family , that you guard the hearts and minds of his children that they will stay tender toward you. Magnify the influence of their grandparents, Darlene and her husband. Thank you, Lord, for the authority and power of grandparents' prayers on behalf of their grandchildren. Oh, Lord, I ask for your intervention in turning Nathan around that he and house will serve you. Work your miraculous power in their lives ... and to you will go all the praise and thanksgiving ! in Jesus' holy name, amen.
Thank you, Julie for praying for me. I have been praying that our Lord softens my heart in this situation and keep me from becoming a bitter office mate. I am finally feeling peace in this situation. The situation isn't better but my approach to it has changed. God bless you and please continue to pray for me.
Thank you for Joanie, Lord, that she desires to live a godly example - especially in her workplace and thank you for the peace you have given her. I pray that you continue to work in this situation, work out the details so that it will no longer be a cause of stress but rather one that glorifies you. Thank you for what you have done and what you will do .. above and beyond what Joanie could ask or think! you are that kind of God, having made that kind of promise ! we make you our heart's desire ... in Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for a dear friend who had surgery for a brain tumor last week. It was malignant and they were only able to remove about 75% of it. He will be starting chemo and radiation next week. I so hope that he will be able to be cured. He is a wonderful Christian man.
Dear Lord and Father ... I pray for Joan's friend who has just had surgery and faces chemo and radiation. I know you are willing, so if it is in your will, please touch this man and make him whole - even without any treatment at all ! Work this all out for your glory and for your praise! Thank you that this man is your son and that he walks through this valley under the shelter of your protective wings. May he be so aware of your presence that the valley between this earth and your heavenly realm is bridged by your overwhelming love and peace. Be exalted, O Lord, and we will lift our voices in thanksgiving to you ... In Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for my three year old girl. She will be going for a peanut food challenge in march. I am terrified she'll have anaphylaxis reaction. I pray God gives us the gift to no longer have this life threatening allergy. Please God I beg.
O Lord, How easily we are frantic with worry when the well being of our beloved children is at risk. I pray for this family fearing a peanut allergy in their precious daughter. You are not anxious, You have already worked out all the details for her good, no evil shall befall her - her angel is ever in the presence of God - seeing His face ..(Matt.18:10) I pray that the tests will not show a serious allergy but will give her a clean bill of health. I pray for peace in the hearts of the parents as they trust in you to have their best in your heart and hand. Bless them with your bounty .... in Jesus' name, amen.
please pray for me and all women who live with unbelieving husbands and other family members. It can be such a trial to remain strong and joyful in my faith when surrounded by sarcasm, bitterness, skepticism. I want so badly to be exactly the wife God wants me to be for this man, but I feel daily that I fail. Similarly, a child whom I love more than life itself, is a great skeptic but not so unwilling to respect my right to believe. I want so badly to be exactly the mother God wants me to be for this adult child. I know that many women struggle with this plight.
Just got word that a family member overdosed yesterday. She has also recently been diagnosed as anorexic, and an alcoholic. She is 18 and still living at home, but the situation is not very good. She doesn't have the option of inpatient care or rehab where she lives. Please pray for guidance and protection, and that she would receive the treatment she so desperately needs. The family is not believers.
Lord, how true it is that so many of us women stand before you pleading for the salvation of our husbands and family members. Often when we live with them it is hard to be the example we want to be - the visual reflection of your character so that they will be drawn to you. Lord, we know time is short and we ask that by your Holy Spirit you convict and draw and cause them to be confronted by their need, and enticed to seek you for their answers recognizing that there are none by any other Name. Give us the wisdom and patience and love that we need to be in the right place at the right time with the right words in our mouths with our hands extended. May we also know when we need to act and not speak. Help us Lord to find our own needs fulfilled in you that we will not accept the discouragement of the enemy. May we stand strong in our trust in you that you are working in the hearts/lives of the ones we love - knowing that you love them more! In Jesus' powerful name, before whom every knee will bow ! amen
Dear Lord, our hearts go out to this girl, so desperately seeking in all the wrong places. May this be a wake-up call for her .. the open door that allows you to send those into her life that will be able to reach her and speak your love into her heart. May this not be for her harm but for her ultimate good. Save her from herself and the influence of the enemy. Heal and restore and raise this girl up to be someone that stands strong in your kingdom able to warn and save others. May she walk in the light and not in darkness. Take all desire for drugs and alcohol from her. As only you can, Lord, work in this dear girl's life .. even in her whole family and may they be won for you ! In Jesus' saving name, amen.
Please pray for my only brother, David, he is an alcoholic, only sober for three weeks, and when he gets paid, back on drinking again. He's excuse is missing his mom very much. He used to stay very closed to his mom; taking care of her; makes breakfast for her and gone places. He misses all that now. He is alone at home now. Drinking is the only one that keeps him not being lonely and just getting drunk. Please pray for him to get help he really needs help and guidance and the right directions.
Lord, our hearts go out to David. We understand his loneliness and lack of purpose now that his dear mother is gone. I pray, Lord, that you will bring purpose into his life again, that you will show him that you still have something for him. Help him to overcome his weakness to escape into alcohol. Bring people into his life, circumstances that will give him the support and help he needs and guide him in the right direction. May he know how much you love him... In Jesus' name, amen.
I am praying with you for your brother and agreeing in prayer with Julie. May the Lord bring someone into his life to encourage him and give him purpose once again. May the Lord also give him strength and desire to honor your mom by the choices he makes for his future. Blessing on you as you also grieve and miss your mom.
Please pray for me as I have health concerns. Before I could get to the dr to have a cyst or something checked out, I fell and broke a finger and will have to have at least one tooth removed. I am so overwhelmed and afraid more teeth are fractured. I'm afraid of tooth implants And have yet to have the original concern checked. I am trying to trust God but more and more things are going wrong.
O Lord, sometimes things just come in multiples and we feel overwhelmed and anxious. I pray for this one who is troubled about what could be a serious health concern, and now has to deal with a broken finger and damaged teeth. Lord, I pray that you intervene and may her finger heal easily and may her teeth not be as big a problem as she fears. May the doctors be wise and compassionate giving her the best options that are the least invasive. I pray that you cover her anxiety with your love and may your reassuring peace flood her heart. May she trust that all will be well because you 'care for her'. In Jesus' tender name I pray, amen.
We truly believe in the power of Prayer and I ask you to pray for my 81 yr.old husband. Thru a misdiagnosis and inhalers with bad side effects, he is now on oxygen 24/7. He tries so hard and gets so disgusted that he is no longer able to do the things he used to do last year. A trip out of state to a big hospital is in our future for this year unless he really improves. Thank you.
Lord, you understand how difficult our lives can be when our bodies break down health wise. And it is a time when we oft have no where to turn but to you. I pray for Jan and her husband as they struggle to cope with the changes in Jan's husband's health. I pray that you give them a sense of peace that you have not forgotten them. I pray that the medical teams involved in his care will have wisdom and the resources to heal and restore his body to strength. May you lead them step by step without them feeling the anxiety and worry that so easily fills our hearts and minds. May even this time reveal the blessings you have for this couple and may they look to you as their ever present help and the Giver of all good things. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
Dear Father, you understand the struggle we have with our flesh and our desire to 'please ourselves first'. Yet, when we understand that you ask to be Lord, not to deny us but to satisfy and fulfill us ... then it becomes hard not to make you Lord of our life. I pray for Bonny whose heart desire is to follow you with all her heart, and mind and strength. I pray that as she sees your real Presence in her daily life, that she is so overwhelmed with your love that her heart fills with the joy only you can give! May she hunger and thirst after you... may she feed on your word and spent time in prayer fellowship. Bless her, Lord - may the things of this earth grow strangely dim as she looks into your loving Face. Help her to let go of the things that hinder and bring into her life the things that draw her ever closer to you. In Jesus' name, amen.
Lord, I pray for Melinda and Scott who are struggling to build a relationship leading to marriage. May they both focus on seeking your will ... putting you first in their lives and being willing to wait for your best. If you have chosen Melinda and Scott for each other I pray that they will know ... that there will be strong confirmation. But if you have chosen differently, then I pray that you reveal that to them as well. Whether they reconcile or whether they do not, may your peace fill their hearts and may they be content in trusting that you have only their best in mind and that in your love you have planned a path that will give them the greatest fulfillment. You understand the desire for a love relationship that leads to marriage and family and belonging. Grant that Melinda will rest in trusting you, believing that you know and care for her more than she could imagine! May your perfect will unfold in her life and fill her with joy and thanksgiving! in Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for my husband, Lawrence, to find favor from his work union, regards to filing complaint against his supervisor, giving him a workplace harassment. He supervisor is very vicious against him taking sick leave more frequently due to his knee in severe pain, his boss comment was "why don't you just retire and stay home you're always complaining about your knee problem" I was so surprised hearing it from my boss. Please pray for my husband that he will returned to work with no worries; pray for his boss's harsh attitude.
Father, I pray for Lawrence and the tension in his workplace. Work relationships can be so stressful. I pray for Lawrence's boss that he will not take out his own issues on his employees, especially Lawrence and that he will change to have an understanding and compassionate attitude. Help Lawrence to respond to his boss in such a way that he is an example of a Christ-like attitude that can melt an angry heart. I pray for Lawrence's knee - that it will heal and no longer be a hindrance in his job. Bring peace and resolution to this work situation. For your glory .. in Jesus' name, amen.
I am requesting a prayer for my sister, Lena and her grandchildren; they have been displaced and no longer allowed for low-rent housing due to her adulthood kids of her own became an alcoholic and were told to evict them from the house their mother/grandchildren were living in it. She and her legally custody of the grandchildren are homeless at the moment. Please pray for Lena, to make the right decision for her grandchildren to move into my beloved mom whom passed just months ago, home that is empty. The children needs a home they are in 4, 5, 8 yrs of ages.
Father, your eye is on the sparrow - how much more your eye is on these three dear little ones who need a loving home. Thank you for the grandmother willing to care for them. I pray that the legal details all fall into place and that family dynamics will not hinder for them to be allowed to live in the mother's empty house. Grant wisdom and strength to Lena and supply all she needs to provide for her grandchildren. This is such a difficult and sad family situation - only you, Lord can bring good out of it and cause there to be a stable and love-filled outcome. For that we ask and believe you can and will provide. In Jesus' loving name, amen.
Lord,how thankful we are that you do not provide for us according to our own resources or our own accounting. You provide for us according to your riches in glory - which never diminish. I pray for this one who has financial needs and doesn't know where to turn. I pray that you provide in ways she would never have expected and may your supply overflow her needs! Bless her with your goodness, as she goes in and as she goes out ! In Jesus' bountiful name, I ask, amen.
O Lord, you do know the details of our life. You know our hearts and you know every thought we think. You understand how prone we are to worry, to be anxious and to fear. Yet your gentle soft voice always says .. fear not, I love you, I am here. And Lord, if you are near, what do we have to fear? I pray for this one that you fill her with your peace, may her fears melt in your love and may she know and trust and you have planned every detail to work out for good in her life. Open her eyes that she may see that "greater is He that is in her than he that is the world". No evil, no danger, no fearful thing can come near her , because it would first have to get past you. Impossible!. Envelope this one in your wonderful presence and may she rejoice in your blessings. In Jesus' name , amen
I'd like to ask for prayers for healing for my husband. He's been having health challenges for 16 years, and the past 4 years he's been basically home bound. He's been diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue, Lyme Disease & Babesia. He also has a genetic mutation that makes it difficult to get rid of the toxins in his body. Also the house we are renting is for sale. We are hoping he is well by the time we need to move and that we could afford to buy a homestead of our own. He is believing that this is his year for healing!
Father, I bring this couple before you, who have had a difficult time dealing with the husband's health issues. They sound frightening to me, but to you his healing is a minor detail ! I love his faith focus, that this is his year for healing! Grant that it be so, Lord, heal him from head to toe, so completely that the doctors will be astonished! I pray too for their desire to buy a home, and with moving not their choosing at this time, perhaps it is your nudge for them to know that their own home is in your timing! All things are good from your hand, and I pray that joy will be this couple's cup ! and all praise will go to you, and only you ! You are the God of miracles and Almighty is your name ! In Jesus' precious name, amen.
Please pray for my future. I meet with my principal on Monday to discuss my return from maternity leave. I am going to request part time work. I don't know if this is what I should be doing? Or if I should stay home with my kids? I feel like I want to hold on to a career I think I enjoy. But at the same time I don't want to miss time with my kids. We don't have childcare worked out yet. A family member may be able to watch them but nothing is confirmed at all. I ask a God to show me. And soon. My heart is anxious about making the right choice for my family. Please Lord.
Father, I pray for this mother struggling to make the right choices for her family -- the choice that you would have her make. I pray that you give her wisdom and that you impress upon her heart the 'right' choice. I pray that you orchestrate the details in such a way that your will for this mother unfold so smoothly that she has only peace in her heart and mind, and no anxiety or doubt about the decisions she makes. I know your heart is toward the children that they will be raised in a secure, loving environment where learning to know you is built into their daily lives. Bless this home to be a godly home where you are Lord...and that it would be an example to others. Help this mother to navigate around a society that demands so much of us, where expectations are high. Give her a clarity of vision to see her way clearly and courage, knowing that you will provide whatever financial needs they have. In Jesus' name, in whom we trust ...amen.
Please pray for the application we put in for getting a reliable transportation to take us around for special purposes. Pray for the right reasonable price working out with the buyers and the right directions to go to. My daughter is trying her best in hunting for vehicles lately. After getting a reliable work she is in good situation to pay for her transportation. God answered our prayers through Mennonite Prayer Warriors for a good paying job for my daughter, Melissa. She is happy where is she and her staff are really nice to work with; and her supervisor is a Christian. Thanks for all your prayers.
Lord, we always rejoice when we see you answer the requests of your children. Thank you for giving Melissa a good job with a Christian supervisor. Continue to bless her there and may others be blessed through her! We pray now that you provide for them a reliable vehicle - guide them to the right one and may the price be within their budget. Thank you for this family, may you guide their steps and prosper their way ! In Jesus' name, amen.
Dear Anonymous, I don't know how much finances play into your decision making but I pray that you can work out a part time situation or feel at peace about staying home for this season in your life. I know that it feels like a long time until your kids are grown, but the time will go so fast and you will have another season to go back to your career. This is what I told my daughter-in-law who is now at home raising her children. I'm speaking from experience of a mom and grandmother, who at about the age of 40 realized that I still had lots of life to go after my kids were grown. =) Sending a big hug and may God give you peace and joy.
Just about a year ago I asked for prayer for my two daughters, one was embarking on IVF treatment and the other was trying to buy a house - within a short space of time, both prayers were answered and I now have a beautiful new granddaughter and my other daughter has found a new home for her family. I am once again asking for your prayer support. My daughter is the primary breadwinner and having found their new home, the company she had worked for over the past 10 years was sold and the office she worked from closed down with the majority of the staff laid off. She has worked very hard at getting interviews and has two this Friday and another on Monday. She could do all of these jobs but one of these sounds ideal - please pray for her that she can show herself at her best during the interview and that the right job will be made available to her. Thank you for your prayer support.
We rejoice with praise for you, our Father who hears and answers our prayers, because you love to work on behalf of your children! Thank you for blessing this dear family. I pray today for this daughter who has lost her job and needs to replace it so she can provide for her family. You already know which job YOU have chosen for her in your wisdom and love. I pray that you would work out the details that will allow everything to fall into place for the best job to be offered to this daughter/mother. Give her a peaceful heart and a clarity of mind that she will present in a way that will impress those who are conducting the interview. We place our trust in you, knowing that we need not fear that you will not provide... In Jesus' wondrous name of abundance, amen.
Please need prayer for our journey back home to beloved mom whom passed in June, 2017, Pray for a good family time together with LOVE, PEACE, and let the Holy Spirit of God be in the midst of us as we praise, worship and prayers. Pray for a good encouragement words from all of us. We are still grieving heavily, and we have not let mom go yet. All in God's hand for the weekend.
Father, having very recently lost my own mother, I understand the grief of this family. We are never ready to lose our mother. I pray for the comfort of your Holy Spirit to envelope them in their grief and may the memories of their mother's love warm their hearts. I pray for protection as they journey back home and that the family reunion with be one that binds their hearts together with love as they wrap their arms around each other to remember and to share their common grief. Even in their own heartache may they rejoice in knowing their Mom is with the Lord, delighting in all heaven has to offer. May their grief not be without the hope of knowing they will see her again .... This life is but a journey, eternity with you is the destination we all reach for. Bless this family in a special way this difficult week-end and may they know you were in every detail. O Lord, you feel their pain with them, weep with them and yet .. are the joy-giver. In Jesus' name I ask that you cover this family with your love and peace ... amen.
Thank you again for your prayers. I got a call from our previous daycare saying they'd have a spot for both kids. It would be the same cost as my wage for a few months. The whole thing makes me sad to leave them with strangers. I don't know what to do. I feel like if I leave my dream art job I'll never get it back. I feel like if I don't do the right things for my kids I will never get it back. I don't have anyone to help me make this decision except me right now. I pray God helps me to decide. I feel so sad.
Dear Anonymous... I believe God has given you your answer - the fact that you are feeling sad and discouraged even though your job is open, and the day care offering spots, shows that you are considering something that will not fulfill you or be what YOU think it will be. Only in taking the BEST way, the one God chooses for you, will you experience all and more than you could hope or wish for! You get only one chance to be mom to your kids ... Your dream art job can be returned to, if that is what God's plan for you is, He will 'hold' that job for you until your kids are older ... and you will NEVER regret having given your kids the best of yourself and your time. There is no higher calling, none that gives the rewards of good mothering!
"Dear Lord, I pray that you will give this mother a peace and assurance that you will honor her decision to be first of all a mother to the precious children you have given her. As she trusts in you and walks step by step as you lead her ... may she know that your plan for her will never leave her deprived of opportunity. May she again find the joy that you desire her to have. Bless this family and their home... in Jesus' name, amen."
Please pray for God's intervention of the sick, immoral and evil men and women in the process of taking over the United States and may he have mercy on the rest the the world's people and government as well. It has gotten to the point where I honestly have little hope in the direction that things are going in. I know that with God's help, anything can be done. We should be helping each other instead of helping ourselves. Love of money and power with no care for the sick, poor, needy is the problem. I'm asking you to pray that He shines his light in men's hearts and uses his power and glory to show what's really important on this earth, while we are here, being his stewards. Thank you.
Oh Lord, this earth is not our home, we are just passing through. The harvest is plentiful, the laborers few - but may your people fulfill the work of your Kingdom - reaching the lost with the salvation gospel and loving those around us. Open our eyes to see the need around us, even as we have in our hands the resources to make a difference. It is so disturbing to watch the world around us crumbling into darkness, but we have the Light that will dispel the darkness. Help us to not get discouraged but rather to rise up with strength and power and stand against the work of the enemy. May we be courageous and faithful to the end! Come soon, Lord Jesus, we pray, amen.
Please pray for my nephew, Seth, very young, smart and intelligent, alcohol got controlled of him, lost his job because of drinking problem, missing work, and he blamed losing both of his closed grandmothers, on his dad's side, and mom's side. We were all surprised and found out he was just walking the streets in small town, didn't care to live, in and out of jail, DUI's, it just torn us apart, and heartbroken over my nephew. Please pray for Seth. I know the Lord will worked out the problems he's going through; Pray for his parents, sisters they all tried to correct his alcohol problem; they seemed gave up on him. We still care for our nephew, very young age.
Lord, I pray for Seth, who has been overcome by the influence of the enemy. His life is on a downward spiral but you have not forgotten him and you have been attentive to the prayers of his loving family. Grant them the strength not to give up hope ! I pray Lord that you open Seth's eyes to see ... stir in his heart the desire to live a life worthy of who you created him to be. Bring the right people across his path who will help him and provide the right intervention. Thank you for Seth, for your love for him and your plan and purpose for his life. Draw him with your love, your mercy and may he find his way home. In Jesus' name we plead, amen.
I want to ask for your prayers. Thank God for all the blessings He is giving me throughout the work days and weekends without no break at all for a year plus. I am thankful that we got someone to do the weekend shifts, so I can be able to spend more time with my family, husband, grand children that I've been neglecting because of work. Please pray, for more rest for my body, and catch up on my chores at home; its been hard doing the extra hours. Thank You for praying.
Lord, I thank you that you have provided for this family but it has been hard and taxing on the body of this wife/mother/grandmother. Thank you for providing staff that will work the week-ends so she can spend time with her loved ones. I pray that her body will have time to rest and be restored ... that her time and focus can shift to family and being who they need her to be. Bless this family with your love and care, in Jesus' name , amen.

Michelle King
Lord, I stand with Michelle and understand how hard it is to give up food choices that have been lifetime favorites. I pray the as she looks to you for her help that you pour your strength into her weakness. May she embrace the challenge and discover there are ways that she can still enjoy her food. May she have a thankful heart for what she has, and thankful that her health can be restored simply by enjoying the right foods. May she focus on what she can gain and not what she has lost. Be her joy, O Lord, and bless her with all she has need of. In Jesus' loving name I ask, amen.
Please pray for my nephew. He is 18 and estranged from family. Pray for healing of hurts and clarity of mind, and restoration first to God and then to family. Pray for protection from evil. This is a heartbreaking situation to all who love him. Thank you. I came looking for recipes and find Christian support. God bless you.
Lord, thank you for putting us in a family - YOUR family, where we can lean on each other for love, support and encouragement. And we can stand together in prayer ... seeking and believing for your goodness released in every situation. Lord, I pray for this young man, who has his life before him but has already experienced enough pain and heartbreak resulting from wrong choices - his own or others around him. I pray that your love pursue him and melt his heart toward you. Protect him from all evil plotted against him - protect him from those things that would destroy him and pull him farther away from you and his family. Take this family and restore them so dramatically that all who see who give you honor and glory, knowing that it was a miracle from your hand. Bless all in the extended family as they circle their loved one with hands lifted up to you! Place a hedge around this teenager that he will be hemmed in until he surrenders his all to you ! I praise you for what you are going to do .. in Jesus' name , amen.
I'd cherish prayers as my fiancee and I face the ongoing challenge of his unemployment and the stress and financial strain it creates. I want to be a positive and supportive partner, but am often overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. I ask for prayers for him too, that he remains hopeful and motivated and that circumstances will ultimately be positive and lead to exciting new endeavors. We shift between moments of hope...and then anxiety that leaves us feeling worried about the future. Thank you.
Oh dear heavenly Father .. I pray for this dear couple and I pray that as they are already facing trials and difficulties that they will learn early in their relationship that you have put them together to be stronger together ! May they learn to cast all their cares upon you because you will never fail them. You will be their Source and their Strength and their daily Guide. May their love for each other be where all their fears and anxieties melt because together IN you they cannot fall. Bless them in ways they could never think or imagine and may they be a blessing to many ... in Jesus' name, amen.
A verse my husband and I took on for ourselves when we were dating/engaged was in Phillippians 4:6 "Don't worry about anything. Tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers." We memorized it and began to pray together. I must say it's probably one of the secrets of a long married life. God bless you for seeking Him.
I would like to ask for your prayers for the upcoming the holidays that its going to be a very tough ones without our beloved mother whom went back with the Lord in June 30th of this year. My siblings are already getting emotional daily. The ones with their mother all their life are the one whom taking it hard. The house (mom's house) is empty and every time they enter the house they break down and its very lonely to see the house being empty. Please pray for my sisters. One of my sister lost her only one daughter in 2006 and mom was the only one she had; now mom is gone again and its so hard for my sister to keep going. There is no one to talk to; or be with during the day. Its so hard on her. Need your prayers please. Thank You!
Dear Lord, the loss of a loved one is hard, life is never the same again and the pain is real, but you have sent the Comforter into our hearts. I pray for this family that is trying to deal with life without the one who was always there for them. I thank you, Father that you have promised we will all be together once again - our loved ones have just gone before us and are but one step away. Help these sisters to find their security in you and find that hope that gives strength for this earthly life. May their memories of their dear mother keep her close and may knowing she is experiencing joy unending bring joy to them even in their grief. Cover them with your love that is sweeter even than a mother's love and may they find rest in your peace. In Jesus' name, I ask... and thank you for being ever present with your children, amen.
Dear grieving family... we know that this year of "firsts" is such a hard one. I remember when my brother-in-law passed away and his family tried to picutre Christmas without him.
They began a tradition, something that they could focus on to make their time together unique, like maybe each bringing an ornament that reminded them of their dad. Whatever you do, may your time as siblings be a reflection of what you know would bring a smile to your mom and be a comfort to you as you begin new traditions. Praying God's comfort for you.
Thanks so much to the both of you for your uplifting in your prayers. I go over and over the prayer you both replied back. Thanks again. Keep praying for us.
Please pray for my 4 year old son's upcoming dentist appt. He has to have crowns put on some teeth and some cavities filled so they are going to put him under general anesthesia. It seems so silly of me to worry but I am honestly terrified of having him put asleep. Thank you so much!
Oh Lord, how I understand this mother's concern - taking my daughter to the dentist was one of my very least favorite things to have to do. I am so thankful for the new approach they have to children's dentistry now and also thankful that this dear little one will not have any traumatic memories. My granddaughters had to have work done under anesthesia and I prayed with an anxious heart - they did so well! I pray for Sara that you will cover her with your peace - may she know that her child will be in your hands and that no harm will come to him. May she hear you whisper that there is nothing silly about being anxious over her little son, that you also hover with great concern over every one of your children. Give the dentist a caring, compassionate approach with skill and wisdom to do the work that needs doing. May the day end in joy and relief and praise to you for carrying them through the whole experience on angels wings! Hold them close and melt all fear and anxiety... in Jesus' name I ask, knowing you have already heard and answered. amen.
I wish to say a pray for jade she was two and a half years old when she lost her life in a drowning accident in July 25 of 2015 miss her a lot her birthday was on Nov 26 2012 she was full of joy and love life if there was ever a little girl to be with it was her may god keep her close to his heart as she was to mine love her grand father Maurice
Please pray for my husband D. He's a wonderful person but worries too much about what he doesn't have, is very self critical and doesn't realize how wonderful life is. He sometimes is depressed and just doesn't seem happy much. I'd love to see him be grateful and realize how lucky we are! Thank you and blessings...
Lord, I pray you comfort this grandfather's grieving heart as he misses his precious little granddaughter. She left this earth too soon but went straight into your loving arms where she is loved beyond what she could ever be loved here on earth .. never will she suffer even one hurt or shed one single tear. May your love enfold Maurice in your peace and comfort, reassuring him his sweet girl is forever safe and the memories are a gift no one nor time can take away. in Jesus' name, amen.
Lord, I pray for D that he will take a look around him and see how much you have given him ... may his eyes open to see there is much in his life to be grateful for, most of all the loved ones around him. May he experience your love for him, may it fill his heart to overflowing so that he recognizes that as he gives to others so it returns to himself. You know how to reach him, Lord .. and I pray that his heart will be open to hear your voice and to see his 'world' through your eyes. in Jesus' name, amen.
I need to somehow earn $5000 by tomorrow. I'm so stressed out. Please pray.
Lord God, you are the God of miracles and you see this need. We ask that you meet this need in the way that you have already planned. Give this person peace as they trust in your provision, knowing that your promises are true and faithful. In Jesus' name we pray and give you our praise, amen.
I'm caught in a cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul and it's caught up with me. I'm terrified of the repercussions of my foolish actions. I've only been trying to stay afloat but was still in the wrong. I feel sick to my stomach. Please pray for courage and wisdom and kindness and compassion as I take responsibility for my errors.
Oh... when the consequences of our choices catch up with us, we feel the pain of fear and guilt and shame. O Lord, even then you are waiting for us to call out to you. You are waiting for our confession, for us to acknowledge our sin and be willing to make things right. Not in our own strength but in yours, for you will walk with us through whatever we must face. Lord, I pray that you work in these circumstances to bring about a conclusion that will bring glory to you and will work in this contrite soul a desire for a closer walk with you - to throw themselves on your mercy, trusting in your compassion and goodness toward them. May you grant them a reprieve, Lord ... I stand with them asking for your mercy ... In Jesus' name, amen
Thank you for praying. I've been up since 4am, riddled with anxiety. Believing for a miracle, even though I am so undeserving.
Oh Lord, this dear one has stayed on my mind and I know she has been on yours. May she find the trust in her heart to believe that 'come what may' You have her best in mind and will work things out for good ... Fill her heart with peace as she fully trusts in you to be her advocate. In Jesus' loving name, amen
Please pray for my son he has diabetes and many other health issues. He sees a new doctor next week please pray that this new doctor can help him.
When you walked this earth, Lord, you,in compassion, healed those that came to you. You are still the same God of compassion with healing in your hand. Please lay your hand on Jamie's son and grant him health and strength. And if you heal through the wisdom of man, may this new doctor have divine wisdom to diagnose correctly and prescribe the right treatment. Comfort this mother's heart and bless this family with your goodness. We ask in your loving name, Jesus.. amen.
Pray for my Family lord Jesus as some of us follow you while others are not so compassionate; I know that you are the son of God and came to forgive our sins completely. And know that the universe is too incredible not to be yours. I want all my family to be with you someday. I put my faith and trust in you and ask that you guide and protect me and my family dear lord.
Lord, I echo this one's heart burden for their family. We yearn for our loved ones to be enfolded in your Shepherd arms. Draw each unsaved member of this family with your cords of love and may their hearts be moved to recognize their need. Bring into each one's life the people or circumstances or influence that will cause them to see you as Lord and Creator - one to whom they owe their worship and trust. In Jesus' name, amen
Please pray for my son he is diabetic and he will be changing doctors for the third time this year. Please let this doctor help him.
Please pray for me I am on a limited income and winter is especially hard. I have to borrow money this month to pay bills I just want to be able to pay this money back. Pray that I will be able to make it thru the winter.
Lord, you hear this mother's cry for her son. I pray that you grant wisdom and the right doctor to help. We know that you can also heal beyond what doctors can understand or know. Heal this son and enable him to live his life productively and with contentment - fulfilling your plan and purposes. Give this mother faith in your goodness and may she place her trust in you, resting in your love and grace. In Jesus' name, amen.
Father, according to your riches in glory you provide for your children. I pray for a financial miracle for the provision needed by this dear one. Fill her basket to overflowing and may she not have a single unmet need this winter. Cause her limited income be as the widow's grain and oil ... that it be more than enough. Cause this one's heart to be encouraged and blessed by your abundance and your overflowing love for her! in Jesus' name , amen.
Please keep praying. It looks like an account is frozen. I'm petrified.
Oh Lord, you are never early with your answers... not because you do not have a plan but because you test our faith - will we trust you? I pray for this one whose heart is understandably feeling terror... anxiety washing over her. I pray for your peace - that is beyond understanding - to wash away her fears and melt her into the trust a child has when they are in their parents arms. You have not forsaken her, you are as close to her as her breath and you will cause all this to work out for good. All you ask is for her to trust you. May this situation be resolved quickly and Christmas be a time of thanksgiving. I plead for your mercy, in Jesus' name, amen.
Thank you so very much. I'm heading to the bank now. Praying for peace, wisdom, and compassion. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
November of 2014 I began asking you to pray for me. Last December (2015) I experienced my own Christmas miracle as my husband once again turned his heart to me. In February of 2016 he admitted that he needed help and this past summer he finally found some relief for his chronic pain. Life is not perfect. The events of the past 2 years have left us in a financially precarious situation and his pain is not completely resolved (and may never be), but he and I are a unit once again and for this I am truly, truly grateful. Knowing that you were praying for me gave me great comfort as I struggled to hold our family together. I am thankful to you for your prayers and to God for leading me through the past years of pain. I ask that you continue to pray for my family and wish you all the blessings of the Christmas season.
Praise the Lord for His kindness and mercy. The end is near. Thank you so much for praying. I cannot express how much it means to me, that a stranger would petition on my behalf. Bless you.
This one has been on my heart, Lord, and I pray that today went in her favor and that you have provided a way out for her - a way to make things right again. Give her wisdom to bring her finances under control and manage her affairs in a way that lets her sleep undisturbed at night. Bless her, Father and continue to work out every detail according to your perfect will, in Jesus' name , amen.
Lord, thank you for working in this family for good - binding them closer to each other and to you. Your love and mercy covered them and carried them through the last difficult years. I pray that you cause your grace and glory to shine upon their home and that all who enter would be blessed by your abiding peace upon this family. May this Christmas be one they will remember as one over which you poured your miracle of love. Thank you for them, for this wife's faithful trust in you that did not let go .. and may you continue to bless them with your abundance in every way ... in Jesus' mighty name, amen !!
Lord, we praise you for your heart of compassion for your children .. and thank you that there are no strangers in your family - we are all one in you, and it is a privilege to lift each other up when we are in need. Bless this one with JOY this Christmas ... in Jesus wonderful name, Amen !!
Thanking the Lord with you and wishing you a blessed Christmas!

I do not question God's plan. I pray she is comfortable and not afraid of the long road ahead of her. Thank you ��
Dear Lord, I pray for Norma who is suffering in hospital with serious lung and asthma health issues. You never withhold from us because we have not always made good choices - but you are waiting for us to call out to you for help. You answer every cry. I ask that Norma experiences the comfort of your enveloping peace and that there will be no fear in her heart as she faces the coming days.

Please pray for my father Edward, in nursing home, struggling with Parkinson's and at times he doesn't taking any food; muscles are getting weak to even not swallowing his medications also. Pray pray for him. He is the only one parent we are looking at for strengths after losing our beloved mom in June 2016. My father sometimes asked "where is mom" We just have tearzzzz running down our cheeks. We don't know if his mind is weak (alheimers) or? Please pray for our father Edward, he is suffering so much. He's gotten boney at this time and ends up in hospital more often for IV's and antibiotics. Per his doctor, there's not much he can do if he is very fragile to poke needles, etc. Pray for us all siblings still grieving deeply for our beloved mom passed. We only have our father now.
Ohh ! thank you, Lord - we praise you for this answer to our request! Bless Melissa in her new job and may it be one in which she can joyfully serve You and others! Grant this family a very special Christmas filled with your abundance and joy! In Jesus' name, amen ..
Oh Father, headaches can be so debilitating. i pray that you grant healing - either miraculous or medically- for this one who is trying to deal with a stressful work situation. Grant her wisdom and the staff that is needed to cover the needs of this ministry. May the office staff be able to facilitate to allow for a good working environment. You know what is needful and you are able to provide ... in you we trust ... In Jesus' name, amen
Father, I pray for this grieving family, having lost their beloved mother and now struggling to see their Dad suffering and slipping away from them too. I pray for strength for them and peace and comfort. I pray for the physical needs of their Dad - that the best care would be given him to allow him the best health. May they have caring and compassionate care givers, not just to the father but the children as well. May their love for each other be the bond that carries them through and may you be their eternal Father and Provider. In Jesus' name, amen.
Christmas is less than a week away, and I'm feeling down that my spouse won't be able to travel with me for the holidays due to finances. Please pray for peace and comfort for us both as we're apart. He's feeling very anxious, as well, about being alone. Oh how we'd love a Christmas miracle so he could travel, but alas, it doesn't appear to be in the cards for this year.
Lord, there is no time like Christmas when we long to be with our loved ones. I pray for this couple that may have to spend the holidays apart. I pray for a miracle that they may yet be able to find a way for the husband to travel with his wife. OR you may have another plan they have not yet considered. Give them eyes to see what you would bring to them. Grant that this Christmas will be a joy to their hearts and have special meaning for who you are -- the Christ-child - the Messiah - the Giver of good gifts to His children ! May faith arise in this couples hearts to believe that you can and will work all things for good. Bless them in Jesus' name, amen.
I have arthritis that is painful and limiting and affecting my ability to walk. I greatly appreciate your prayers for my health. God bless you.
Lord, you tell us to comfort one another with the comfort we ourselves have received. Knowing the suffering of rheumatoid arthritis, I have learned to lean on your strength in my weakness and your comfort is sweet. I pray for this one who is in pain and feeling the limitations her suffering causes - I pray that you touch her body with healing in your wings and and help her to rest in your grace and goodness, knowing that your plan for her is not diminished by her body's limitations. Take her pain away, restore her to health according to your will and power - and grant her a heart full of thanksgiving and praise. May she know the fullness of your grace. Bless her abundantly, this Christmas season, in Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for God's favor in getting this job that he applied for months back; his boss received a call for how he is with his job and so forth. The boss told him he gave them a good person to work with, and he knew his skills, no problem with the job at all. Please pray for my son, Brian to get this job. Its a good paying job and that's what he's looking for his family. God knows all the plan ahead. God's willing it will be done. Thank God's for every little things. God is an awesome God.
Lord, I agree with this mother for her son, Brian. I pray that you grant him favor with employers that he will be offered the job he needs to provide generously for his family. I pray that that your blessings be upon this family that they thrive under your loving care and may they serve you with all you give them. In Jesus' name ... amen.
Please pray for my health. I'm young (30) but have been ill for a while. Stomach ulcers (I can't eat much - a sad reality at the the holidays) and I have constant back pain and internal pain. I can't work, and have young children. My husband is wonderful but can't do it all in his own. Please pray for health, financial stability through this and for calming of fears (cause I always expect the worst)
Thank you <3
Lord, I intercede for this young wife and mother, struggling with debilitating health issues. I ask first of all that you would calm her fears, her anxieties and overwhelm her with your peace. May she learn to rest in you, knowing that that the plans you have for her life are good. Grant her the health she needs to be able to take care of her family, to be the mother her children need ... and be able to be a supportive wife. Thank you for an understanding husband who is carrying a double load. Gift them with a miracle, wrapped in your love, this Christmas, and may the things that make their lives difficult -- the financial worries, the anxiety, the pain, the ulcers -- all be removed by a supernatural touch of your hand. Bless this family as you desire to bless them - abundantly above what they could ask for ... in Jesus' powerful name I ask, amen.
To the wonderful Mennonite Girls,
I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers. Over Thanksgiving, I asked you to pray for my sister to become pregnant. You responded with the most beautiful prayer that made my sister, my mom and me get teary and feel so touched. Your prayers have worked, and just recently she found out she is pregnant with a healthy, beautiful baby. Her husband and her, as well as our entire family is overjoyed and feel so blessed.
Again, from the very bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your prayers and support. This baby is a Christmas miracle! I am so happy to have this community!
Oh Lord, you are the God of miracles ... and in your love for us you let us share with each other the joy of answered prayer!! And I do rejoice with this family anticipating the birth of a beautiful miracle child. Bless this family in their coming and their going .. and may your joy and peace fill their homes and hearts this Christmas season. In Jesus' precious name , amen .
I have come to you before and everything was wonderful. Unfortunately another tumor was found in my husband and we are starting from square one again. Please remember him in your prayers. Thank you.
Patty
Lord, I am reminded of how you touched the blind man's eyes and he was only partially healed and you touched him again, and then he was fully healed! We are thankful for your healing hand on Patty's husband, but we ask that you touch him again to heal him completely! May their trust in you not waver, and may they rejoice in your answers. Give Patty's husband the strength he needs for the journey before him, and give him and Patty a wonderful peace as they trust in your good purposes. In Jesus' wonderful name and for His glory I ask ... amen.

God is GRACIOUS! on her first day at work today was she overjoyed telling me the staff, administration, her staff that she will oversee are very nice, and were all glad to see her to became on board as a director. She has a christresen sister that will be her supervisor. She is very happy to get this job. Please continue to keep her in your prayers throughout her career. Pray for the little children through Youth that she will make plans for. She loves to work with children, as she does not have any children of her own and single. She loves to be around children. Some she babysits often. Thanks again for your support in your prayers.
(thank you for the update .. we are so happy for your daughter ... and will continue to pray for God to bless her as she blesses the children and Youth and the staff she works with - that even as she plans, the plans will be of the Lord ! )
I pray for God divine intervention for a career path. I am currently on maternity leave. I am set to return to teaching in the fall. I love my students and my job. But I know I'll miss my time with my kids. I am in discussion with my friend about starting a daycare or preschool. It would be a dream and a fun experience that I can take my kids too. But it feels risky and scary too. It's not the same amount of money. It doesn't have retirement security. I would be leaving a job I loved. I pray God gives me some clear answers that are immediate. And that I know it is clearly Gods direction. Bless me.
O Lord, how we need your wisdom to make the right choices in our life. I pray for this mother who is facing an important decision that will impact her life, as well as the life of her family, in huge ways. Help her to trust that you know and have planned the best path for her ... help her to trust you enough that she will follow even as you light her way step by step. May faith arise in her heart that you are able to provide for all her future needs - that you are not limited in resources. Even as she has asked for divine wisdom, you have promised to give it. And as she makes decisions, grant her the confirmation she needs by causing the details to fall into place beyond her expectations. Thank you, that the desire of this mother's heart is to follow you. Bless her and her family and keep them safe in your loving care. In Jesus' name, amen.
Hello we are trying to sell our home in South NJ, the market it is VERY BAD, it is almost impossible to sell a home here...can you please pray that our home sells....thank you so much
Oh Lord, what do you care about the market - if it is your will that Maria moves, you already have a buyer for her house waiting in the wings.. and you will bring them forward in your perfect timing ! Give Maria a trusting and patient heart as she waits on you to move according to your plan. Cause all the details that need to fall into place for Maria's family, to come together in such a way that they will be in awe at your wondrous working in their situation. You are their Provider, their Father and the Source of all blessings in their lives ... Be glorified and may they give you all the praise! In Jesus' name, amen.
I have asked for prayer several times since June when my friend David had a stroke. I am very sad to say that on Jan. 14th David passed away. I miss him so much and need prayer to help me through this difficult time. Thank you.
Dear Father, you are the Comforter and I pray that your very real Presence will ease the grief of Janina's loss. I pray that her sadness may be overshadowed by the precious memories she has of her friendship with David. Walk her through this valley, this time of pain and sorrow and may she find your peace in it and even surprising joy. Bless her with compassionate and caring friends who know how to come alongside... In Jesus' name I ask, amen.
Thank you Julie, as always your prayers are a blessing.
Please pray for wisdom and peace for our financial planning so we can get caught up on our overdue bills and have enough money to stay afloat going forwards.
Sending you a warm hug, Janina
Lord, I pray for this couple struggling financially. I pray that you grant them wisdom and discipline to manage their finances in a way that allows them to get caught up and live within their means. I pray that you supply over and above their needs and bless them with your generous goodness. May they trust in you to lead and guide them, even in the area of finances because your desire is for your children to prosper - in body, soul and spirit! Thank you for your abundant care ... in Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for me in the area of finances. I am waiting for Disability hearing (very long process), meanwhile it is getting very difficult to pay my bills--don't want to lose my home--have a disabled adult daughter and a grandson that live with me. I just discovered your blog, very enjoyable reading.
Lord, I bring Robin before you today ... you already know her and every detail of her life. In a world that seems to care little about our situations, we know that we have a security in you that is not dependent on the riches of this world but is unchanging in your character and heavenly riches. You care for each day's needs and I pray that you would provide for Robin in such a way that notonly are all her needs met but she is astounded by your miraculous supply. I pray for the medical needs of herself and her daughter - I pray for healing, for compassionate wisdom of doctors/medical staff and for comfort and peace where there is anxiety or fear. May your love be enveloping over them and may they rest and trust, knowing that in you they will have no lack. We thank you for your Father heart ... thank you that you have already sent every answer to every prayer need ... in Jesus name we praise you, amen.
I would ask for prayer for the United States and our new President. I have prayed for our nation to be stirred up and repent and come back to Him for a long time but what is happening now is very scary. It seems that a cauldron of hatred and vileness has been unleashed and we are being swept along by it and it is very much out of our control. I know this is a heart issue and a long-time rebellion issue, esp among women and now our young people , who despise being told what to do by anyone. We still are a selfish and proud and self-worshipping people and we need God so desperately.....your post this morning spoke of waiting on God and that his timing is perfect and that He still loves us, I would ask for prayer to help me remember that. Thank you, Julie
Thank You so much...God Bless You abundantly for your obedience toward His People
Lord, you look down on the people of this earth.. people you created with the purpose that they should live in loving relationship with you and each other, but you see rebellious hearts and the chaos that follows. I thank you for those, like JKK who ask people to stand with her in prayer for her nation. May you grant repentance to sweep the land and change hearts, that love would melt hatred and anger and fear. I pray for the new leader, President Trump - may he be your 'man' through whom you bring the right kind of changes. Give him wisdom and grace and protection. You have said "when my people pray and seek my face..." Lord, we seek you on behalf of our nations, the United States and Canada - preserve us, O God - may we continue to live in peace. May we never take our blessings for granted, but may we,your people rise up and be counted - may we be seen and heard. Starting each in our own corner, may we reflect your Light in our very dark world. I pray that we will stand, not in our weakness but in your strength, to uphold the goodness and the glory of your Kingdom that is forever and ever!! amen.
Thank you and may God bless you!
I am in a difficult work situation, my partner is a non-believer and is very condescending to me, criticizing my abilities and is very negative both to his work and mine. It is very difficult to share an office with him. I am praying that God softens his heart. Thank you for prayer, I read your blog and I find great comfort in it.
Please pray for me to have a healthy back/spine/hips. I injured my back in May, got better over 5 months, then had another set back. Then I fell on an icy road last week. It seems like 1 step forward,2 steps back. It's been a financial hardship as well. I just want a permanent healing/ strengthening, giving God the glory. Nancy
O Lord, I pray for Nancy and the discouraging set back, re-injuring herself when she was finally on the road to recovery. I pray that this time her healing will be quick and complete - that she will be able to resume her normal duties. May she rest in you, knowing that, while she may not understand why she is going through this difficulty you are still in control and have her good in mind and will bring it about. Heal her body, and relieve the financial pressure - for your glory.. You are worthy, O Lord, and we thank you for all that you have already decreed. In Jesus' name, amen.
Dear Lord, I pray for Joanie and her difficult work situation. How stressful it is to be in a close working relationship with someone who is difficult. I pray for this office-partner that he would change his attitude - that he would be moved to see how he is affecting his partner. I pray for Joanie that you would give her an understanding heart to see what is behind the hurtful words/actions of this man - perhaps a hurt/sorrow/bitterness of his own. A soft answer turns away wrath - may she have wisdom in knowing how to respond to him. If there is something she can do that will change the atmosphere of their office, may she see clearly what it is. You can also give her a new partner if that is the answer. You know all the ins and outs of this situation and I know that you have the perfect solution. I thank you for your able willingness to change the stress into blessings ... May good will rule in that workplace. May all malice and ill will be left at the door - and only peace and kindness step over the thresh hold. Bless Joanie with your goodness and may she be able to go to work with joy in her heart instead of fear or trembling. In Jesus' name, I ask... amen.
Please pray for my dear friend Maria .
She is palliative . I pray daily for her peace and for her to not suffer and to know she is in God's loving arms .
God bless
My sweet Christian daughter is praying for a baby. She watches as others get her dream, and she waits. Pray that God will allow her to have a baby.
God has blessed my husband and I beyond measure in many ways. In 2014 He saved my husband's life after a mistake in surgery almost killed him. Now, I ask that he restore my husband to good health as he has some effects of that surgery that cannot be corrected by more surgery. God can touch him with healing and I ask that He do that as he did before. I know I am selfish and want my husband in good health for my own benefit too. God knows my heart; please pray that he answers my request.
Lord, I pray for Maria whom you are calling home. Having just lost my own mother I know how heaven becomes so real. I pray that you would grant Maria a painless and peaceful crossing over from this earthly realm to the glorious realm awaiting all your children. I pray for comfort for Maria's family and friends ... May they remember the love they shared and be comforted by the knowledge that the parting is but for a time - thankful that God's children do not grieve without hope! Thank you, for this Lord ... thank you for Maria's life and for those who are gathered with her as she ends her journey. May they all be so aware of your Presence and may their sorrow be tempered with joy... Only in you, Lord, do we trust and pray in Jesus' name. amen.
Father, you give us the desires of our hearts and you also answer them. I pray for this daughter of yours who longs for a child to love and nurture. I pray for her to have the patience to wait for your perfect timing and for your perfect plan. May she not doubt but know that you have her heart's desire close to your heart and you will fulfill it. Open her womb, Lord, that she may conceive. Bless her home and prepare it for the family that you have planned for them! We give you all glory and praise, in Jesus' name we pray, amen.
Thank you, Lord, for the miracle that you gave Sandra's husband, that the surgical error did not take his life. Now, there are still evidences of this physical damage and I pray that you heal his body completely. May nothing hinder the life-plans that you have for this couple. May they be blessed in you and in each otherand be a blessing to those whose lives they touch. Fill their hearts with joy and their mouths with thanksgiving ! In Jesus' name, amen.
I am asking prayers for my son and my daughter and her family. They have heard the word, but do not choose to follow God. I am also asking for you to pray for my struggle with diabetes.
I am sharing this battle with you, Michelle. I start over every day. I am praying tonight for your resolve to eat properly and that your numbers are what you desire in the morning. Please pray for me, too.
Thank you, Julie. I know you and the others walk with God and He with you. Your prayers are a comfort to many.
My name is Darlene. I live in Tennessee and I have followed your blog for about 3 years now. I ordered your last cookbook for a friend of mine. I thank God for the encouragement that your ministry has given me every week that I read your Bread for the Journey. I have walked with Jesus since I was 12 years old. I am now 61 and I still love the Lord.
My request is for our 34 year old son who is married and has 4 beautiful children . Our son has been addicted to drugs for 17 years now. The children range in age from 2-13. They haven't been taken to church on a regular basis their whole lives. As they get older, my husband and I can see more and more the toil that this situation has on the children. We have prayed for a lot of years for Nathan and our hope is that Nathan will surrender to God. Thank you, ahead of time, for praying for our son. Thank you for being faithful followers of Jesus.
Father, you desire that all come to a full salvation - you desire for all to receive your free gift and follow Jesus. I ask with this mother yearning for her children to know you. I pray that you bring into their thoughts and lives those things that will cause them to turn their eyes on you. May they recognize your love in their lives and respond with open hearts. I also pray for this mother to be able to deal with her diabetes, that it will be controlled and we know that you can also heal her completely. May she rest in you and walk in the wisdom you give us when we but ask for it. Bless this family - every one! in Jesus' name, amen.
Lord, I pray for Jan as she too struggles to manage the needful changes for her health. Give her wisdom and self-control so that it is no longer a 'battle' but rather a chosen way of life. Fill her life with the sweetness of your goodness that her focus is not on what she cannot have but the 'much' she has in you! In Jesus' name, amen.
Only your patience, Lord, surpasses the faithful prayers of parents for their children. As long as there is life, we know that you are still reaching out with your mercy, extending your loving hand toward our unsaved sons and daughters. I pray for Darlene, I pray that you encourage her, that she will not become discouraged praying for her family. I pray for Nathan - I pray that you orchestrate his life in such a way that he will find himself walled in, in such a tight place that there is only direction for him to look - UP! May nothing he turns to comfort or satisfy him until he recognizes his need of you. I pray for his family , that you guard the hearts and minds of his children that they will stay tender toward you. Magnify the influence of their grandparents, Darlene and her husband. Thank you, Lord, for the authority and power of grandparents' prayers on behalf of their grandchildren. Oh, Lord, I ask for your intervention in turning Nathan around that he and house will serve you. Work your miraculous power in their lives ... and to you will go all the praise and thanksgiving ! in Jesus' holy name, amen.
Thank you, Julie for praying for me. I have been praying that our Lord softens my heart in this situation and keep me from becoming a bitter office mate. I am finally feeling peace in this situation. The situation isn't better but my approach to it has changed. God bless you and please continue to pray for me.
Thank you for Joanie, Lord, that she desires to live a godly example - especially in her workplace and thank you for the peace you have given her. I pray that you continue to work in this situation, work out the details so that it will no longer be a cause of stress but rather one that glorifies you. Thank you for what you have done and what you will do .. above and beyond what Joanie could ask or think! you are that kind of God, having made that kind of promise ! we make you our heart's desire ... in Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for a dear friend who had surgery for a brain tumor last week. It was malignant and they were only able to remove about 75% of it. He will be starting chemo and radiation next week. I so hope that he will be able to be cured. He is a wonderful Christian man.
Dear Lord and Father ... I pray for Joan's friend who has just had surgery and faces chemo and radiation. I know you are willing, so if it is in your will, please touch this man and make him whole - even without any treatment at all ! Work this all out for your glory and for your praise! Thank you that this man is your son and that he walks through this valley under the shelter of your protective wings. May he be so aware of your presence that the valley between this earth and your heavenly realm is bridged by your overwhelming love and peace. Be exalted, O Lord, and we will lift our voices in thanksgiving to you ... In Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for my three year old girl. She will be going for a peanut food challenge in march. I am terrified she'll have anaphylaxis reaction. I pray God gives us the gift to no longer have this life threatening allergy. Please God I beg.
O Lord, How easily we are frantic with worry when the well being of our beloved children is at risk. I pray for this family fearing a peanut allergy in their precious daughter. You are not anxious, You have already worked out all the details for her good, no evil shall befall her - her angel is ever in the presence of God - seeing His face ..(Matt.18:10) I pray that the tests will not show a serious allergy but will give her a clean bill of health. I pray for peace in the hearts of the parents as they trust in you to have their best in your heart and hand. Bless them with your bounty .... in Jesus' name, amen.
please pray for me and all women who live with unbelieving husbands and other family members. It can be such a trial to remain strong and joyful in my faith when surrounded by sarcasm, bitterness, skepticism. I want so badly to be exactly the wife God wants me to be for this man, but I feel daily that I fail. Similarly, a child whom I love more than life itself, is a great skeptic but not so unwilling to respect my right to believe. I want so badly to be exactly the mother God wants me to be for this adult child. I know that many women struggle with this plight.
Just got word that a family member overdosed yesterday. She has also recently been diagnosed as anorexic, and an alcoholic. She is 18 and still living at home, but the situation is not very good. She doesn't have the option of inpatient care or rehab where she lives. Please pray for guidance and protection, and that she would receive the treatment she so desperately needs. The family is not believers.
Lord, how true it is that so many of us women stand before you pleading for the salvation of our husbands and family members. Often when we live with them it is hard to be the example we want to be - the visual reflection of your character so that they will be drawn to you. Lord, we know time is short and we ask that by your Holy Spirit you convict and draw and cause them to be confronted by their need, and enticed to seek you for their answers recognizing that there are none by any other Name. Give us the wisdom and patience and love that we need to be in the right place at the right time with the right words in our mouths with our hands extended. May we also know when we need to act and not speak. Help us Lord to find our own needs fulfilled in you that we will not accept the discouragement of the enemy. May we stand strong in our trust in you that you are working in the hearts/lives of the ones we love - knowing that you love them more! In Jesus' powerful name, before whom every knee will bow ! amen
Dear Lord, our hearts go out to this girl, so desperately seeking in all the wrong places. May this be a wake-up call for her .. the open door that allows you to send those into her life that will be able to reach her and speak your love into her heart. May this not be for her harm but for her ultimate good. Save her from herself and the influence of the enemy. Heal and restore and raise this girl up to be someone that stands strong in your kingdom able to warn and save others. May she walk in the light and not in darkness. Take all desire for drugs and alcohol from her. As only you can, Lord, work in this dear girl's life .. even in her whole family and may they be won for you ! In Jesus' saving name, amen.
Please pray for my only brother, David, he is an alcoholic, only sober for three weeks, and when he gets paid, back on drinking again. He's excuse is missing his mom very much. He used to stay very closed to his mom; taking care of her; makes breakfast for her and gone places. He misses all that now. He is alone at home now. Drinking is the only one that keeps him not being lonely and just getting drunk. Please pray for him to get help he really needs help and guidance and the right directions.
Lord, our hearts go out to David. We understand his loneliness and lack of purpose now that his dear mother is gone. I pray, Lord, that you will bring purpose into his life again, that you will show him that you still have something for him. Help him to overcome his weakness to escape into alcohol. Bring people into his life, circumstances that will give him the support and help he needs and guide him in the right direction. May he know how much you love him... In Jesus' name, amen.
I am praying with you for your brother and agreeing in prayer with Julie. May the Lord bring someone into his life to encourage him and give him purpose once again. May the Lord also give him strength and desire to honor your mom by the choices he makes for his future. Blessing on you as you also grieve and miss your mom.
Please pray for me as I have health concerns. Before I could get to the dr to have a cyst or something checked out, I fell and broke a finger and will have to have at least one tooth removed. I am so overwhelmed and afraid more teeth are fractured. I'm afraid of tooth implants And have yet to have the original concern checked. I am trying to trust God but more and more things are going wrong.
O Lord, sometimes things just come in multiples and we feel overwhelmed and anxious. I pray for this one who is troubled about what could be a serious health concern, and now has to deal with a broken finger and damaged teeth. Lord, I pray that you intervene and may her finger heal easily and may her teeth not be as big a problem as she fears. May the doctors be wise and compassionate giving her the best options that are the least invasive. I pray that you cover her anxiety with your love and may your reassuring peace flood her heart. May she trust that all will be well because you 'care for her'. In Jesus' tender name I pray, amen.
We truly believe in the power of Prayer and I ask you to pray for my 81 yr.old husband. Thru a misdiagnosis and inhalers with bad side effects, he is now on oxygen 24/7. He tries so hard and gets so disgusted that he is no longer able to do the things he used to do last year. A trip out of state to a big hospital is in our future for this year unless he really improves. Thank you.
Lord, you understand how difficult our lives can be when our bodies break down health wise. And it is a time when we oft have no where to turn but to you. I pray for Jan and her husband as they struggle to cope with the changes in Jan's husband's health. I pray that you give them a sense of peace that you have not forgotten them. I pray that the medical teams involved in his care will have wisdom and the resources to heal and restore his body to strength. May you lead them step by step without them feeling the anxiety and worry that so easily fills our hearts and minds. May even this time reveal the blessings you have for this couple and may they look to you as their ever present help and the Giver of all good things. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
I need direction and prayer I believe Jesus is my Savior but am having a hard time making him Lord of my life.
Dear Father, you understand the struggle we have with our flesh and our desire to 'please ourselves first'. Yet, when we understand that you ask to be Lord, not to deny us but to satisfy and fulfill us ... then it becomes hard not to make you Lord of our life. I pray for Bonny whose heart desire is to follow you with all her heart, and mind and strength. I pray that as she sees your real Presence in her daily life, that she is so overwhelmed with your love that her heart fills with the joy only you can give! May she hunger and thirst after you... may she feed on your word and spent time in prayer fellowship. Bless her, Lord - may the things of this earth grow strangely dim as she looks into your loving Face. Help her to let go of the things that hinder and bring into her life the things that draw her ever closer to you. In Jesus' name, amen.
Please pray for mine and Scott's relationship to be reconciled and that God leads us to marriage...thank you. This has been a fervent prayer.
Lord, I pray for Melinda and Scott who are struggling to build a relationship leading to marriage. May they both focus on seeking your will ... putting you first in their lives and being willing to wait for your best. If you have chosen Melinda and Scott for each other I pray that they will know ... that there will be strong confirmation. But if you have chosen differently, then I pray that you reveal that to them as well. Whether they reconcile or whether they do not, may your peace fill their hearts and may they be content in trusting that you have only their best in mind and that in your love you have planned a path that will give them the greatest fulfillment. You understand the desire for a love relationship that leads to marriage and family and belonging. Grant that Melinda will rest in trusting you, believing that you know and care for her more than she could imagine! May your perfect will unfold in her life and fill her with joy and thanksgiving! in Jesus' name, amen.
Thank you Julie!
Please pray for my husband, Lawrence, to find favor from his work union, regards to filing complaint against his supervisor, giving him a workplace harassment. He supervisor is very vicious against him taking sick leave more frequently due to his knee in severe pain, his boss comment was "why don't you just retire and stay home you're always complaining about your knee problem" I was so surprised hearing it from my boss. Please pray for my husband that he will returned to work with no worries; pray for his boss's harsh attitude.
Father, I pray for Lawrence and the tension in his workplace. Work relationships can be so stressful. I pray for Lawrence's boss that he will not take out his own issues on his employees, especially Lawrence and that he will change to have an understanding and compassionate attitude. Help Lawrence to respond to his boss in such a way that he is an example of a Christ-like attitude that can melt an angry heart. I pray for Lawrence's knee - that it will heal and no longer be a hindrance in his job. Bring peace and resolution to this work situation. For your glory .. in Jesus' name, amen.
I am requesting a prayer for my sister, Lena and her grandchildren; they have been displaced and no longer allowed for low-rent housing due to her adulthood kids of her own became an alcoholic and were told to evict them from the house their mother/grandchildren were living in it. She and her legally custody of the grandchildren are homeless at the moment. Please pray for Lena, to make the right decision for her grandchildren to move into my beloved mom whom passed just months ago, home that is empty. The children needs a home they are in 4, 5, 8 yrs of ages.
Father, your eye is on the sparrow - how much more your eye is on these three dear little ones who need a loving home. Thank you for the grandmother willing to care for them. I pray that the legal details all fall into place and that family dynamics will not hinder for them to be allowed to live in the mother's empty house. Grant wisdom and strength to Lena and supply all she needs to provide for her grandchildren. This is such a difficult and sad family situation - only you, Lord can bring good out of it and cause there to be a stable and love-filled outcome. For that we ask and believe you can and will provide. In Jesus' loving name, amen.
I am asking for prayer that the Lord will provide for my financial needs even though it seems impossible to me and on paper.
Lord,how thankful we are that you do not provide for us according to our own resources or our own accounting. You provide for us according to your riches in glory - which never diminish. I pray for this one who has financial needs and doesn't know where to turn. I pray that you provide in ways she would never have expected and may your supply overflow her needs! Bless her with your goodness, as she goes in and as she goes out ! In Jesus' bountiful name, I ask, amen.
Thank you. Believing for a miracle.
I am struggling with anxiety and fear. God knows the details. Please pray for peace.
O Lord, you do know the details of our life. You know our hearts and you know every thought we think. You understand how prone we are to worry, to be anxious and to fear. Yet your gentle soft voice always says .. fear not, I love you, I am here. And Lord, if you are near, what do we have to fear? I pray for this one that you fill her with your peace, may her fears melt in your love and may she know and trust and you have planned every detail to work out for good in her life. Open her eyes that she may see that "greater is He that is in her than he that is the world". No evil, no danger, no fearful thing can come near her , because it would first have to get past you. Impossible!. Envelope this one in your wonderful presence and may she rejoice in your blessings. In Jesus' name , amen
I'd like to ask for prayers for healing for my husband. He's been having health challenges for 16 years, and the past 4 years he's been basically home bound. He's been diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue, Lyme Disease & Babesia. He also has a genetic mutation that makes it difficult to get rid of the toxins in his body. Also the house we are renting is for sale. We are hoping he is well by the time we need to move and that we could afford to buy a homestead of our own. He is believing that this is his year for healing!
Father, I bring this couple before you, who have had a difficult time dealing with the husband's health issues. They sound frightening to me, but to you his healing is a minor detail ! I love his faith focus, that this is his year for healing! Grant that it be so, Lord, heal him from head to toe, so completely that the doctors will be astonished! I pray too for their desire to buy a home, and with moving not their choosing at this time, perhaps it is your nudge for them to know that their own home is in your timing! All things are good from your hand, and I pray that joy will be this couple's cup ! and all praise will go to you, and only you ! You are the God of miracles and Almighty is your name ! In Jesus' precious name, amen.
Please pray for my future. I meet with my principal on Monday to discuss my return from maternity leave. I am going to request part time work. I don't know if this is what I should be doing? Or if I should stay home with my kids? I feel like I want to hold on to a career I think I enjoy. But at the same time I don't want to miss time with my kids. We don't have childcare worked out yet. A family member may be able to watch them but nothing is confirmed at all. I ask a God to show me. And soon. My heart is anxious about making the right choice for my family. Please Lord.
Father, I pray for this mother struggling to make the right choices for her family -- the choice that you would have her make. I pray that you give her wisdom and that you impress upon her heart the 'right' choice. I pray that you orchestrate the details in such a way that your will for this mother unfold so smoothly that she has only peace in her heart and mind, and no anxiety or doubt about the decisions she makes. I know your heart is toward the children that they will be raised in a secure, loving environment where learning to know you is built into their daily lives. Bless this home to be a godly home where you are Lord...and that it would be an example to others. Help this mother to navigate around a society that demands so much of us, where expectations are high. Give her a clarity of vision to see her way clearly and courage, knowing that you will provide whatever financial needs they have. In Jesus' name, in whom we trust ...amen.
Please pray for the application we put in for getting a reliable transportation to take us around for special purposes. Pray for the right reasonable price working out with the buyers and the right directions to go to. My daughter is trying her best in hunting for vehicles lately. After getting a reliable work she is in good situation to pay for her transportation. God answered our prayers through Mennonite Prayer Warriors for a good paying job for my daughter, Melissa. She is happy where is she and her staff are really nice to work with; and her supervisor is a Christian. Thanks for all your prayers.
Lord, we always rejoice when we see you answer the requests of your children. Thank you for giving Melissa a good job with a Christian supervisor. Continue to bless her there and may others be blessed through her! We pray now that you provide for them a reliable vehicle - guide them to the right one and may the price be within their budget. Thank you for this family, may you guide their steps and prosper their way ! In Jesus' name, amen.
Dear Anonymous, I don't know how much finances play into your decision making but I pray that you can work out a part time situation or feel at peace about staying home for this season in your life. I know that it feels like a long time until your kids are grown, but the time will go so fast and you will have another season to go back to your career. This is what I told my daughter-in-law who is now at home raising her children. I'm speaking from experience of a mom and grandmother, who at about the age of 40 realized that I still had lots of life to go after my kids were grown. =) Sending a big hug and may God give you peace and joy.
Just about a year ago I asked for prayer for my two daughters, one was embarking on IVF treatment and the other was trying to buy a house - within a short space of time, both prayers were answered and I now have a beautiful new granddaughter and my other daughter has found a new home for her family. I am once again asking for your prayer support. My daughter is the primary breadwinner and having found their new home, the company she had worked for over the past 10 years was sold and the office she worked from closed down with the majority of the staff laid off. She has worked very hard at getting interviews and has two this Friday and another on Monday. She could do all of these jobs but one of these sounds ideal - please pray for her that she can show herself at her best during the interview and that the right job will be made available to her. Thank you for your prayer support.
We rejoice with praise for you, our Father who hears and answers our prayers, because you love to work on behalf of your children! Thank you for blessing this dear family. I pray today for this daughter who has lost her job and needs to replace it so she can provide for her family. You already know which job YOU have chosen for her in your wisdom and love. I pray that you would work out the details that will allow everything to fall into place for the best job to be offered to this daughter/mother. Give her a peaceful heart and a clarity of mind that she will present in a way that will impress those who are conducting the interview. We place our trust in you, knowing that we need not fear that you will not provide... In Jesus' wondrous name of abundance, amen.
Please need prayer for our journey back home to beloved mom whom passed in June, 2017, Pray for a good family time together with LOVE, PEACE, and let the Holy Spirit of God be in the midst of us as we praise, worship and prayers. Pray for a good encouragement words from all of us. We are still grieving heavily, and we have not let mom go yet. All in God's hand for the weekend.
Father, having very recently lost my own mother, I understand the grief of this family. We are never ready to lose our mother. I pray for the comfort of your Holy Spirit to envelope them in their grief and may the memories of their mother's love warm their hearts. I pray for protection as they journey back home and that the family reunion with be one that binds their hearts together with love as they wrap their arms around each other to remember and to share their common grief. Even in their own heartache may they rejoice in knowing their Mom is with the Lord, delighting in all heaven has to offer. May their grief not be without the hope of knowing they will see her again .... This life is but a journey, eternity with you is the destination we all reach for. Bless this family in a special way this difficult week-end and may they know you were in every detail. O Lord, you feel their pain with them, weep with them and yet .. are the joy-giver. In Jesus' name I ask that you cover this family with your love and peace ... amen.
Thank you again for your prayers. I got a call from our previous daycare saying they'd have a spot for both kids. It would be the same cost as my wage for a few months. The whole thing makes me sad to leave them with strangers. I don't know what to do. I feel like if I leave my dream art job I'll never get it back. I feel like if I don't do the right things for my kids I will never get it back. I don't have anyone to help me make this decision except me right now. I pray God helps me to decide. I feel so sad.
Dear Anonymous... I believe God has given you your answer - the fact that you are feeling sad and discouraged even though your job is open, and the day care offering spots, shows that you are considering something that will not fulfill you or be what YOU think it will be. Only in taking the BEST way, the one God chooses for you, will you experience all and more than you could hope or wish for! You get only one chance to be mom to your kids ... Your dream art job can be returned to, if that is what God's plan for you is, He will 'hold' that job for you until your kids are older ... and you will NEVER regret having given your kids the best of yourself and your time. There is no higher calling, none that gives the rewards of good mothering!
"Dear Lord, I pray that you will give this mother a peace and assurance that you will honor her decision to be first of all a mother to the precious children you have given her. As she trusts in you and walks step by step as you lead her ... may she know that your plan for her will never leave her deprived of opportunity. May she again find the joy that you desire her to have. Bless this family and their home... in Jesus' name, amen."
Please pray for God's intervention of the sick, immoral and evil men and women in the process of taking over the United States and may he have mercy on the rest the the world's people and government as well. It has gotten to the point where I honestly have little hope in the direction that things are going in. I know that with God's help, anything can be done. We should be helping each other instead of helping ourselves. Love of money and power with no care for the sick, poor, needy is the problem. I'm asking you to pray that He shines his light in men's hearts and uses his power and glory to show what's really important on this earth, while we are here, being his stewards. Thank you.
Oh Lord, this earth is not our home, we are just passing through. The harvest is plentiful, the laborers few - but may your people fulfill the work of your Kingdom - reaching the lost with the salvation gospel and loving those around us. Open our eyes to see the need around us, even as we have in our hands the resources to make a difference. It is so disturbing to watch the world around us crumbling into darkness, but we have the Light that will dispel the darkness. Help us to not get discouraged but rather to rise up with strength and power and stand against the work of the enemy. May we be courageous and faithful to the end! Come soon, Lord Jesus, we pray, amen.
Please pray for my nephew, Seth, very young, smart and intelligent, alcohol got controlled of him, lost his job because of drinking problem, missing work, and he blamed losing both of his closed grandmothers, on his dad's side, and mom's side. We were all surprised and found out he was just walking the streets in small town, didn't care to live, in and out of jail, DUI's, it just torn us apart, and heartbroken over my nephew. Please pray for Seth. I know the Lord will worked out the problems he's going through; Pray for his parents, sisters they all tried to correct his alcohol problem; they seemed gave up on him. We still care for our nephew, very young age.
Lord, I pray for Seth, who has been overcome by the influence of the enemy. His life is on a downward spiral but you have not forgotten him and you have been attentive to the prayers of his loving family. Grant them the strength not to give up hope ! I pray Lord that you open Seth's eyes to see ... stir in his heart the desire to live a life worthy of who you created him to be. Bring the right people across his path who will help him and provide the right intervention. Thank you for Seth, for your love for him and your plan and purpose for his life. Draw him with your love, your mercy and may he find his way home. In Jesus' name we plead, amen.
I want to ask for your prayers. Thank God for all the blessings He is giving me throughout the work days and weekends without no break at all for a year plus. I am thankful that we got someone to do the weekend shifts, so I can be able to spend more time with my family, husband, grand children that I've been neglecting because of work. Please pray, for more rest for my body, and catch up on my chores at home; its been hard doing the extra hours. Thank You for praying.
Lord, I thank you that you have provided for this family but it has been hard and taxing on the body of this wife/mother/grandmother. Thank you for providing staff that will work the week-ends so she can spend time with her loved ones. I pray that her body will have time to rest and be restored ... that her time and focus can shift to family and being who they need her to be. Bless this family with your love and care, in Jesus' name , amen.
