Please pray that my husband gets permanent employment, my boys stay healthy and happy, we can keep paying our bills and nothing comes up that we cannot handle please.

Julie said...

Lord, we come in response to Nicole's request...and ask that you would provide for her family - that her husband finds permanent employment, health for her boys. I ask that you surround this family with your love and care in a way that lifts them into a place where they are secure and content in you, knowing that you will never leave them nor forsake them. thank you, Father that we need not be anxious or fear tomorrow because we read ..."He cares for you!" In Jesus precious name we pray, Amen (I Peter 5:7)

Please say a prayer for me and my walk with God. I feel a strong presence of the Holy Spirit and feel that I am finally going to do what God wants me to do.
I am not in a church presently and am searching for a Bible based church in my area. I know God has a special job for me to do.
I also know that he will lead me in the direction I should go. I am not a greedy person. I have a relative (in law) that believes that you need to write a list of what you want and sow financial seed.
I have a tough time thinking that way. I believe that God already knows what I would like and that he also knows that whatever he sends my way, i will be grateful and share with others.
I feel stronger than I have in 60 years in my faith. It is never too late to let go and let God.
Thanks, have a blessed day

Our daughter Ehren is 32 years old and she has challenges with anxiety and she also has some OCD tendencies. She is living on disability but that only pays for her rent and she needs to desperately find a job. She has secured a few jobs in the past only to be let go because she is different. As Ehren's parents we help her out financially but we are getting older and can no longer afford to continue to supplement her income. Ehren desperately needs to secure a job. We know that God has a job out there for her but she has to connect with that job. Please pray that Ehren will find a job that will supplement her income. Thank you so much.
Blessings,
Donna

I would like to request prayer for my son Theo. He's having such a hard time getting into the routine of school, and today I got a phone call from his teacher (he's in JK) that he refused to participate in picture day. He won't appear in his own class picture. I don't know why the teacher & other adults don't seem to be able to get him to participate. I don't know what to do to help him, and I"m worried he's going to end up being labelled or ostracized by the school or kids. I"m just heartbroken and I don't know what to do to help him.

Please pray for my son Mike, that the Lord would send him a Godly influence in his life and a Godly girlfriend. And that Jesus would be Lord of his life.

Julie said...

Our Father, you know that there is no heart cry like the cry of a mother for her children. I join this mother's prayers for her son Mike that you would move in his life so that he will make the right choices and decisions. Bring those things into his life that will cause him to turn to you, to trust you in all his ways. I ask too that you would guard his heart from all others except the girl you have chosen for him. I pray that this young man would live his life pleasing you and glorifying you ! In Jesus' name... amen ..

Lovella ♥ said...

Dear Lord,
I feel so bad that we somehow missed this prayer request days ago when this mother was feeling so concerned for her son. Thank you for hearing her prayer, even when we didn't. Father, I remember when my own little boy was so afraid of school and wanted me to stay. I cried and felt so alone until you gave wisdom to the principal to take our little one under his wing until he felt safe and secure away from home. Lord, maybe this little guy is doing better already but if he still struggles, I pray that you would give him a brave heart and give him mother patience and wisdom in knowing how to help him. Lord, we know you live this little Theo and are there with him in his classroom. Thank you for being there!

Lovella ♥ said...

Lord, we are finding this prayer request late and yet we know that you heard Donna's heart cry for her daughter and we thank you for working in our lives even when we don't realize it. I pray that you will give wisdom to these parents who are concerned for their daughter. I pray that you would help Ehren with her health situation. Father we pray that you will provide a work situation where Ehren can enjoy working and can make a living for herself. Thank you Lord for these parents and their love for their daughter. Thank you for your love.

Lovella ♥ said...

Lord, we thank you for your spirit that lives within us, leading and guiding us in our daily lives. I pray for this individual that they might find a community of believers where the Bible is taught and you are worshipped and people are connected.

ellen b. said...

Lord lead this child of yours to a Bible believing congregation where they can continue growing in their walk with you. May they see your hand as you lead them in your truth, may they sense your love in their steps of growth. May they be able to serve you and grow in you all the days of their life. Amen.

Donna said...

Please pray for my son. He is dealing with drug addiction. He is seeing a Dr. now who I think is only taking his money to give him more pills. He is not himself when taking what this Dr. has given him. He has a 10 month old daughter who is most precious. I love her so much. My heart is breaking that he has let this addiction go so far that he can not come out of it.. I have no one to talk to about this. I come to you to lift him up so we can be a happy loving family once again. I want to enjoy life with my son and granddaughter. I am constantly worrying about him and her. Please pray that he can turn his life around.

Julie said...

Oh Lord, you can do above and beyond what we can think to ask .. I pray that you would intervene in the life of Donna's son and that you would heal him of his addiction. Set him free... so his little precious daughter can know the love and care of her father.Provide doctors that will give him the right care and advice. Restore this family to healthy , happy relationships centred in your love ! .
I pray too for Donna that you would give her peace, take her anxiety and may she know your strength and walk in your wisdom. Bless this family, Father, according to your will for your glory ! in Jesus' name , Amen

The Scripture you quote from Philippians is one of my absolute favorites. It isn't always easy to obey it, though.

I would love prayer for my sister-in-law. She is facing a cancer diagnosis, but we know God is bigger.

DeDe said...

You are so kind to offer prayer requests. Please pray for my mom and dad. My dad has Alzheimer's, and my mom is caring for him. I know she is heartbroken...and tired. It is also hard work caring for him. Give them peace and comfort and a smile just when needed.

Anneliese said...

Was just reading your request again and praying for you . . .
Lord I ask that You would send a friend for this caring mom to pray with. I pray her son's love for his daughter will cause him to get the right help and be a good dad. Give this grandma wisdom and many opportunities to show Your love to her granddaughter and see Your answers to prayer in her life. Amen

Bev K said...

Dear Father, we bring this couple before Your throne of grace today. Lord I pray for this father whose mind is losing it's way and for this mother who has the heartbreaking task of losing companionship with her husband while she does her best to care for him. I pray for strength for her, for a heart of compassion and love and for the energy she needs to meet his needs. I pray too Lord, that you would bring someone into their life to provide caring respite for this weary woman. You have promised Lord to walk with us in our trials and help us to bear them. Thank you for this promise that we claim on this family's behalf. Amen.

Bev K said...

Lord Jesus, please be near this woman who is facing a cancer diagnosis. It is something we all fear. I pray for courage, and the ability to face whatever the diagnosis results are. If it is Your will Lord, spare her serious illness. We thank You Lord and praise You, for You are good and Your mercies cover us wherever we are. Amen

My husband and I are going through a rough point in our marriage. Please pray for us and for God's help in bringing us closer.

Julie said...

Lord, I lift up this couple to you and ask that you bless their relationship, renew their love and commitment to each other. Help them to reach out to each other instead of pulling away and that they remember You as the strong connector of their hearts .. to one another and as being One with you ! Work in and through the circumstances in their life. We thank you for this wife that is wanting to strengthen her marriage... in Jesus' name .. amen

Kathy said...

Dear Father, I too pray for this couple. Thank you that this dear one is reaching out and asking for prayer. You know all things dear Lord and I pray that you will restore where things have corroded. May each of them not loose hope in this struggle. May You give them courage and the desire to keep working on their marriage. You know how much work our marriages take Father and I thank You that You are a God of miracles and new beginnings. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

I wanted to share a praise. In September I left a prayer request about custody and safety for my children. God answered my prayers and the judge gave me everything I asked for! I'm so thankful for God's care.

Julie said...

Thank you for sharing your praise so we can rejoice with you !!
"Thank you, Lord for answered prayer for this mother and her children. We rejoice with her and we pray that you continue to bless his family with your love, care and provision !"

prayer request translation --- "Thank you for praying for me, I feel very sad and alone."

Dear Father, my heart goes out to this sad, lonely soul and I pray that you put your arms of love around her and hold her close! May she sense your presence and know that she is never alone. Bring people into her life that will be there to befriend and support her . You know her heart, you know what she needs and I ask, O Lord, that you be her supply! Guide her in thought and deed, give her direction and wisdom. May she trust in you and know that you will not fail her ! We ask in Jesus' name, Amen

Ellen in Oregon said...

I am praying for Ehren as well as you & your husband. I hope that you find the strength to emotionally support your daughter as she goes through this overwhelming & discouraging period of her life. I feel God has led me to your prayer request so I would be able to give you some information I have for resource that could be of much help to Ehren in finding a suitable job and assist in helping her keep employment long term. Please seek the assistance of your state's Vocational Rehabilitation or Disabilities Services Agency. Ehren would likely be eligible for services because she has a disability that prevents her from keeping a job long term & she requires help & support services to obtain & maintain a suitable job. I worked as a counselor in this agency for many years and have helped many struggling people improve their lives, become independent financially and gain greater control of their disabling condition. Please help Ehren seek out this potential resource that can provide her the help she needs to make her life better & release nuch of the burden for your daughter exoenses from you & your husband. You may need to advocate for Erhren if she is unable to do so for herself, but if she is willing to apply for help it may change all your lives for the better. Ehren may also be eligible for other forms of assistance while she goes through vocational training services. She should applly for benefits through SSI as she is an adult with a disability who is currently unable to keep a suitable job due to her disabilities and you are not realistically able to provide all her financial needs.
I will pray for Ehren that she finds the courage to seek the help she needs to live a fuller and less burdened life. I pray that you, as her parents, have the energy to encourage her to find & apply for the resources that can help your daughter. God knows that there is no greater fear than that of parents who do not know who will help their child when they are no longer able to. I pray that God gives you the direction you & Ehren so desparately need. I will continue to pray for you daily & hope that God gives you all the courage needed to guide yourr daughter to a possible solution that can help Erhen work towards her independence, control over her OCD symptoms & allow her to hold a job that she like going to each day. May God guide you as you seek help for Erhen. I believe God guided me to your prayer request so I could connected with you & provide you a possible solution to Erhens issues. I pray that Erhen find the best person to assist her in reaching her goals & help her find the support she needs at this time in her life. Please God Keep Erhen & her parents under your watchful eye and offer them the courage to persue the help they so dearly need.

Hi, my name is Cindy. I would like to say thank you for the prayer that you sent me in April because I started work on May 22,2014. Since that time, my job site is closing in October of this year. Therefore, I put in for another job and will start working there tomorrow. Can you please say prayers that I can seek God's favor at my new job site tomorrow. Thank you for the prayers.

Julie said...

Father, thank you for providing the job for Cindy in May and for providing another job even before it was needed. As Cindy begins a new work experience once again tomorrow I pray that it would be more than just a job - that it would also be opportunity for her to be a witness for you, I ask that you give her favour with those in authority over her and also favour with her co-workers. Give her wisdom and ability to do her job well and give her spiritual eyes to see the needs of the people she comes in contact with. Bless Cindy in this job and may it be one that she finds rewarding. Thank you for your provisions, Lord and for your guidance. In Jesus' name I pray, amen
