My friend Wanda in Georgia is finishing chemo treatments and will be going in a couple of weeks to have her cancer evaluated. This is her second battle with cancer after a very short period of remission (3 years) and we were heartbroken that she had to endure the treatments again. Please join us in praying for a good outcome and total cure. The God we serve can wipe all cancer away if it is His will. And if not, please pray for strength to fight on and a peace in her heart to know that she is never alone not matter what happens. Thank you for your added prayers and petition for God's healing power on her life.

Your website is just wonderful. Thank you
Linda

Oh Lord, we pray asking that you fill Wanda's heart with peace, may any anxiety be melted in your love. You are able and you are willing to heal, so we ask for a miracle that Wanda's evaluation will be good news, that her cancer is gone! May your perfect will and purpose be realized in her life and may you be glorified even as she is blessed ! in Jesus' name, amen

I ask for your prayers for my husband and I as we go through a trying time in our marriage.

Julie said...

Lord, we need a miracle in our families today... My heart breaks every time I hear of another family in trouble. I ask for this couple that this trying time would not end in despair or hopelessness but would serve to strengthen the bond between them and draw both of them closer to you. Give them strength and perseverance and an assurance that there is no power greater than yours... and your will is for their marriage to thrive! I pray that they will come out of this time of darkness into your unquenchable light...and will have a testimony to your grace and provision! in Jesus' name , amen

Please pray for me since I've lost my Mom; each day so hard without her; know I will see her again one day but seems too long for now.

Julie said...

Lord, you are touched by our grief and sorrow and you understand. I pray for this one who has lost her Mom that you comfort her and fill her with your peace ...May her memories give her moments of joy even as she looks forward to seeing her Mom again ! Thank you for that hope that we have... amen

My family does not have the income we need to pay our bills. We are becoming desperate and I wonder how we will manage.

Julie said...

O Lord, our Provider, I pray for Grey-san who cannot pay his bills , who is feeling desperate, unable to provide what his family needs. Father, I pray that you would provide in miraculous ways revealing your love and care toward this family. Bring people alongside who can help, or whatever way you choose. We thank you for already having sent the answers this family needs. In Jesus' name we pray... Amen

Please pray for my son Lance- he lost his job and needs help in getting medication for his heart- nothing seems to be happening with any county welfare dept. to speed up him getting his medication- thank you for your prayers- Bless you.

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for Lance, who has need of heart medication. I pray that you would remove the welfare department's stumbling blocks..so that whatever needs to happen can and will happen. I ask also for your supernatural healing to restore his heart to perfect working order. May you be glorified in this situation, and may your peace prevail ... I thank you, Father ! amen

Faye said...

Please pray for my mother Joan who is in hospital receiving care for severe asthma. She has been to hospital several times over the past couple of months. I pray that they will find a medication to control her symptoms and she will be well.

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for Faye's mother who is suffering from severe asthma. You gave us our breath of life and how scary it is when we cannot find it! I pray that Joan's care givers will find the medication that she needs to live a normal life. Whether you heal her through wisdom you have given the medical profession or you heal her miraculously we give you all thanksgiving ! Bless Faye and her mother and give them assurance that you are near. May they trust in your care for them. In Jesus' name, amen

For my daughter that she would find a man who would LOVE the very essences of who she is. She knows (we know) God has a plan for her....it's just hard to wait. Thank you

Julie said...

Oh Lord, I smile in memory as I stand with this mother/daughter who are waiting for the man that you have chosen for her. You have already chosen him. How often you say ... 'wait' and we don't like to wait yet even in the waiting there are blessings and lessons and opportunities to grow ! I pray that you bless this mother and daughter - I thank you for their relationship and the love they have for each other. May their trust in you be rewarded ! in Jesus' name I pray , amen

Anneliese said...

Dear Heavenly Father, We all know what it's like to go through trying times and also thank You for the joy that comes after we are restored and forgiven. Help this couple during this time to pray to You the author of love and relationships. Give them patience, understanding and provide for their needs that may be making things harder. Help them not to be downcast and to come to yet again praise you! Amen

Anneliese said...

This prayer caught my heart today as I can understand how much we desire for our son or daughter to be loved by someone as much as we love them. I thank you, Lord, that even with this, we can come to you. I ask that Your love and faithfulness would follow this daughter all the days of her life and that she will know the delights of trusting You. I pray that in this walk with you she will recognize someone who knows your love as well, someone she can trust, respect and honor. I pray for contentment and fulfilment as she waits for the desires of her heart. Bless her today. Amen

I am asking for prayer regarding my health--tumors found in my body.

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for Patricia... for peace of mind, knowing you have the days of her life in your hand. I pray that as she is facing new health issues that you would guide her caregivers to make the right decisions to bring healing to her body .. I ask that the tumors shrink and disappear even as you restore her body to health. I ask in Jesus' name , Amen.

Beginning at Fifty said...

Please pray for my husband Tom. He has been trying to find a fulfilling job and is in the depths of despair. Tearing up and going to bed. He needs a job for his self worth. It's been over 9 years since he has been able to find full time work that pays a living wage. I am worried about him. Tonight he said he wants to die young. Thank you and God's peace be with you

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for a miracle for Tom. You have put the need/desire in a man's heart to provide for his family and you know how hard it is to wait for a job that does not materialize. I pray that you will bring to him that 'special' job that will make him feel useful and productive... a job that gets him up in the morning with cheerfulness and thankfulness. I pray too that his discouragement will not rule over him but his trust in you will grow ever stronger! I ask that even this week there will be a change in his circumstances. May he know your love and walk in your peace... Bless this couple in ways beyond what they even dream of ! In Jesus' name I pray ... and thank you for the answer that you have already sent ! amen

Love the scripture and the beautiful bleeding heart! My dear friend, Joyce is in my prayers today. She is going through an experience that is almost more than she can bare. She is a strong lady. Has survived breast cancer and her husband taking his life two years ago. Now her oldest daughter is going through something that is like a bad nightmare. So tragic it has even made national news.
hugs,
Jann

Julie said...

Dear Father, you know all the details of Joyce's daughter's circumstances and the nightmare she is in. I pray Lord, that you would work in and through this situation and reveal your power, your mercy and your love. Give Joyce the wisdom and strength she needs to be her daughter's support ...and may you provide whatever is needful. You are the only one we can cling to when our world crashes around us - you are our anchor! Cover Joyce and her daughter under the shelter of your wings .... In Jesus' name I pray , amen

Anneliese said...

Yes, Lord . . . please strengthen Joyce according to Your great power. Please answer her prayers for her daughter. As Julie has prayed, be their anchor in the storm and let them come through knowing Your love and compassion never end. Amen

KathyB. said...

.." You are the only one we can cling to when our world crashes around us ~ " I love that prayer especially because it is true.

Please pray for my friend Margaret as she struggles with stomach cancer which has now spread. Specifically, please pray for help dealing with nausea caused by chemotherapy. Thanks.

Lord, I pray for Margaret as she struggles with stomach cancer. You are the Healer and it is a simple thing for you to restore a body to the health which which you created it. I thank you too for the medical knowledge that man has but I ask for you to please take away the side effects of the chemotherapy.

Please pray for my family. Since it seems when I pray God does not hear me. I wish we could have the happiness in our family for one another. Pray for my granddaughter that she grows up in a loving family. Lord please be there for her that she grows up happy. Pray for my son. He has addiction problems. I don't know what hold the future for him. Wish he could be free and happy.
One cannot be happy when your loved one's life are in trouble. Pray one day we can be a happy family.
Thanks

Julie said...

Oh Father I bring this family to you .. and I thank you that you are a God that hears every one of your children's prayers and you take every one of them to heart. Nor are you unable to help...Often your delay is simply the needful waiting for your children to get into the right place. I feel along with this Mother's heart. We so ache for our children to be happy and right with each other and most of all with You. May you work in this family that they come to a place where they can rejoice in you and in each other. Bring needful circumstances or situations to bear that will facilitate change and bring your people along side to encourage, comfort and help. Give this mother a 'knowing' that she is in your hand and that she is not alone,and may you be her joy that her family will see! Thank you that this precious granddaughter has a loving grandmother .. and may her father also find freedom from his addictions. You can do the impossible.. and for that we ask. In Jesus' loving name I pray ... Amen
