can you pray for my son Dennis that he can break away from the drugs that have a hold on him,that also he also realizes that he has God to help him and his family through this time.

Julie said...

O Lord, I pray for Dennis today who has been taken captive by the enemy. I pray that you would move in his life that he would recognize the emptiness and futility and bondage of a life that held captive by drugs and addiction. Open his eyes to see what Satan has blinded him to. Bring him to the place where he is at the end of himself and in looking up finds you waiting for him. May he know your love and forgiveness and the love of his family who are there to help and support him. Comfort the heart of his mother and may she not waver in her prayers and trust in you to work in the heart and life of her son. May their victory be in you ! in Jesus' name I pray , amen

Lindy said...

Please pray for my husband, he has pancreatic cancer. My heart is breaking, our children are hurting.

Julie said...

O Lord, you know the pain and fear that is overwhelming this family as they struggle to deal with devastating news. My heart aches for them - I know you see their tears and feel their pain ...
Yet, you are the God of the miraculous and I pray for a miracle for this family. You can heal even when the doctors are helpless. Gather this family into your arms of comfort and fill them with your peace. May they know that you are there for them, carrying them through this valley. May they know that in your love they are secure... provide for them all that they need.... bring people around them that can support and help and be your loving arms around them. May you do beyond what we can ask ..or know how to ask... in Jesus' precious name I pray ... amen

Anneliese said...

Dear Heavenly Father, I come here agreeing with Julie and Lindy and prayer to ask for Your mercy and unfailing love to surround this family. At this time and always, may they know your healing and tender care. Amen

Please pray for us as we cannot find a job. Our savings is almost gone and we have no one to turn to. I am not well and cannot work. My husband has lots of marketable skills but no one seems to be hiring.
We would be so greatful if you could say a prayer for us. I have been praying but so far God has not heard my supplications. Thank you.

My friend's daughter has run away and is selling her body for drugs. The child is not willing to accept any help offered, and is living in a very dangerous area. Please pray someone will rescue her and that she will accept help.

Please pray for my niece and nephew (both young adults) and my brother-in-law, as my sister passed away very recently. My niece is wanting to make the 'mousse' soup like her mom used to make. I don't make it. Could you please find and share a recipe for me to pass on to her, on yourwebsite? The one she made could be eaten cold or warm and included bing cherries. Thank you in advance for helping in any way you can.

You, , O Lord, are our provider. You have promised to meet our needs according to your riches. I pray for this family that needs your intervention. I pray that you would open the doors for Patricia's husband to find the job that is perfect for him. Give him favour with those who could hire him. I pray too for Patricia that you grant her the healing of her physical problems. May this family rejoice to see your provisions, and be filled with thanksgiving for your abundant gifts. Fill them with the assurance that you HAVE heard their prayers and have already send the answers they need! Bless this family with your grace and mercy, in Jesus' name I pray, amen

Julie said...

Father, I know that your eyes are on these children and I know that you desire them to be safe in a loving environment. I pray for this father who does not have his children's well being as a priority. I pray that you would move him to recognize that nothing is as important as what is best for his children and that he would be willing to put everything else aside. Thank you for these grandparents who are able to provide what their daughter and children need. Grant that the judge would see through the the lies or manipulation and would see the 'truth' and grant him wisdom to make the right decisions. We trust you to work according to your love and mercy. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.

Julie said...

Oh, Father, I pray for this girl who has been blinded and deceived by the enemy to believe his lies. Open her eyes to see the danger around her, to recognize that she is giving what has great value for something that only brings harm and destruction. Bring the people into her life that can speak the words she will hear and give the direction she will receive. Protect her, Lord, put a hedge around her to keep her from evil. Bring this girl back to the family that loves her. You alone can save... you alone can fill a heart seeking fulfilment and peace - may she find you. amen

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for this family that is grieving the loss of a sister, wife and mother. I pray that you would comfort them and draw them together to share the love and memories that will not fade. May they feel your arms around them when the night closes in and the tears flow. Provide for them what they have need of and may they ever know your love and peace. In Jesus' precious name I pray, amen

Thank-you for your website - it's so lovely. I'd like to ask for wisdom in a trying circumstance in which I find myself. Also, that I would be receptive to what the Lord wants me to do to support myself. (I lost my job)
Thanks, Sue

I am in need of God's help to remove the pain I feel today. I have one remaining family member, my brother, overseas who historically makes contact for a period of time then makes no contact even after my repeated efforts to continue the relationship. After a year or so he will contact again asking that we resume communication only to repeat the same pattern. This has gone on for about twenty years. Each time this happens it leaves me feeling as if I have done something wrong and rejected. He is married with an unstable, possessive wife who has been verbally rude to me in the past ... I have never confronted my brother with this. Yesterday, after nine months he phoned only this time he was aggressive blaming me for not contacting him and attacking a certain member of my family. He sounded angry, bitter and revisited instances from fifteen years ago (and others which we had already resolved wherein he was always the injured party) and I basically told him that I felt that his continued contact with me and my family was resented by his wife. He then said that he would have his wife phone me to which I replied that it wasn't necessary ... he took offence to this. He revisited so many petty instances from so long ago as far as his childhood and is filled with so much anger. I am left now feeling almost sick inside not wanting to even talk about it because it hurts to see my brother change to such a degree; from a funny strong man to this angry bitter person who has lost so much joy in life. I am now in a place where I feel that it is not healthy for me to even attempt to mend fences - I forgive him for his insults but the pain of what was said is so fresh that, even as I write this eyes fill with tears. Please pray for me to release this pain and pray for my brother to give him happiness. He suffers from ill health - heart issues, arthritis and depression; apart from his wife he has no children. At one time he was very close to my children, my husband and myself until maybe twenty years ago. I am so confused and hurt. Please help me

Julie said...

Father you see the pain and sorrow in this sister's heart concerning her brother. You know all that has transpired over the years and I know that you too sorrow over the broken relationship once enjoyed. You alone can bring the healing needed. I pray for this brother that his heart be softened ...and that he be willing to take responsibility for his own actions/reactions and to recognize that it is his own choices that determine the path he walks. I pray for this sister who loves her brother , her only remaining family member, who so longs to enjoy the brother/sister bond they once had. I ask that you fill this sister with your love and understanding toward her brother and give her inspirational wisdom to know what to do. Comfort her to know that she can place it all in your hands and let you do what she cannot not. May she also know that your love will never fail and that you will hold her close and cover the pain in her heart with the sorrow of your own heart over this broken relationship. I ask for 'unity and harmony' to be restored in this relationship. In Jesus' loving name I pray , amen

Julie said...

Lord, thank you for Sue, who is seeking to do your will as she looks into the unknown of tomorrow. You know the panic we feel when our 'support' is pulled out from under us - yet we need to be reminded that our sustenance is in you and you supply our need. Lead Sue to the job that you have already chosen and prepared for her. Give her peace as she waits for your timing, which is always perfect ! in Jesus' name I ask, amen

Thank for your inspirational prayer which eased my heart - you had a complete understanding of my pain. I am concentrating on appropriate bible readings and once again reading a book The Power of the Praying Woman. I am opening my heart to my mistakes and leaving this in God's loving hands. May God bless you.

May I ask you to pray for Robert my husband-that he realizes I need healing from our past, that the woman he thinks is a friend, he sees her for the adultress woman who wants to destroy us (he says its over, but its not), and God send me the money to do as I'm commited to do. Thank you & God bless you...Mary.

Julie said...

Oh Father, how do I pray for this troubled marriage.... You know Robert and Mary and see and understand every detail of their lives and hearts. I pray, Lord, that you would work a miracle in this relationship - that deception, betrayal and all the work of the enemy would be laid bare and seen for what it is. No matter how much damage has been done, I know that you are the God of restoration when hearts are willing to humbly repent before you. Give Mary the wisdom to know what to do and the strength to obey. I ask that the enemy not be victorious but that your love, forgiveness and peace would rule in this home and marriage. May you provide what is needed - send godly council through your people. amen

Pamela said...

Thank you for having this page. I requested prayer before and received a beautiful prayer, truly beautiful and how I wish I had saved it. I humbly ask again for prayers for my husband who was diagnosed with lymphoma 2.5 years ago and is now in chemo and for myself who 1.5 years ago lost my surviving parent, my mother who had died alone in her home from an apparent heart attack but we had had some bad days due to her recently diagnosed Alzheimers just a couple of months prior to her death. Today I'm waiting for test results about my double vision
that began a couple of months ago. It has seemed for most of my life it has been one "crisis" after another and of course the fear and depression this has caused me has robbed me of a lot of joy in my life. I wish I could feel the support that so many believers feel, the assurance, the trust. It continues to elude me.

Julie said...

Father, I stand before your throne with my arm around Pamela with whom I come today. You know every hurt, every discouragement, every sorrow, every disappointment and crisis that she has had to deal with and with compassion you have saved every one of her tears in your bottle.
Lord, I ask that you would gather this wounded child into your arms and overflow her with a sense of your love and care. May she know that she has never walked alone but you have always been with her. No matter how dark the valley, you have promised to take her through -- "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you are with me" - that is your promise that is not dependant on our feelings. But we are creatures of feelings and I ask that you grand to Pamela that assurance that she seeks -- the assurance that you are worthy of her trust and that she IS safe in you. I pray for healing for her husband, that his cancer will be eradicated, by treatment or miracle. I pray too for Pamela's eyesight that you would correct the double vision- as she seeks medical care give wisdom to the caregivers. Restore the joy to her that the enemy has stolen, bring people into her life that will encourage and stand with her in support and love. in Jesus' precious name I know that you have answered.... amen

May I request prayers as I navigate an upcoming cross-country move and career change? I am eager for this important next step in my life as I pursue the creative work I have always felt called toward, but I am riddled with worries--that I'm making a bad decision, won't be met with success, and will have a difficult time acclimating to a new area and building a new community of friends and hopefully down the road—a family. I am seeking more clarity and peace about the move...and confidence in myself. Thank you!

Julie said...

O Lord, what creatures of anxiety we are - so prone to worry and fear! and yet your soft voice speaks into our troubled hearts with the calming words, "Peace, be still, do not fear!" I pray for this one who is facing the upheaval of all that is safe and familiar to reach out to where everything is new and unknown. You have already gone before and have put everything in place that is needful. I pray that you would melt the fear and anxiety in this one's heart and pour in assurance of your love and thoughtful care. I pray that excitement for the adventure will be childlike in its simplicity because you are going with her. May there never be a moment of looking back but only an embracing of what you are bringing into her life. Fill her with your peace and may her confidence be in you! May you be her answers before she is able to ask the questions. Bless her with your peace and the guidance of your Spirit. in Jesus' name I ask, amen

I would like for you to pray for me I have been very sick with hypothyroidism, and have tons of allergies to foods and also the meeds that they keep trying for the thyroid. Monday they will try a compounded thyroid medication and I'm beginning to feel very discouraged, due to so many failed attempts to be able to take the medicine. I have four children and a husband that depend on me to be strong and able to care of them, and that has not been able to happen for months now. I have followed your blog for years and all your spiritual post are very uplifting. Thanks and God Bless You !

Julie said...

Dear Lord, I pray for this wife/mother and ask for healing and strength for her. You see the anxiety and discouragement that fills her heart that because of her health, she cannot be for her family what she so desires to be. I ask that you would give supernatural wisdom to her physicians that they would know how to help her but I know that you can also give her a miracle of healing. Fill her heart with peace and faith in you, that you have not abandoned her nor are you unwilling to help. Your plans for her are for good and not evil - I pray for your best to shower this family and may they rejoice in your answers. In Jesus' name, amen

Thank you for being a prayer warrior to the Lord. Although we have several prayer groups and my spouse and I pray together, I remember Mt18;20, 'Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am with them." My family is being attacked, but we continue in our faith. Please pray for my mother-in-law who is in hospice now, my sister-in-law who has a concussion, my daughter who is an honor student, but can't continue her education, my son who is confused and in a severe state of depression and my spouse and I who are looking for jobs. Thank you for all you do.

Julie said...

O Lord, you hear the concerns of this family. I ask that you uphold them with your strength even as they struggle to deal with all that has come against them. I pray for the mother-in-law who is in failing health - I pray peace for her and freedom from pain. I pray for healing for the sister-in-law that has a concussion, may there not be any lasting side effects. I pray for the daughter who is a difficult place, not able to continue her education, I ask that you remove the hindrances. And I pray also for the son who is in a state of depression, may he look to you as the Light that can shine through his darkness. I pray also that you provide employment, lead them to the jobs you have already chosen for them. All this I ask in Jesus' name, amen

Kathy said...

Loving Father, I lift up this family to You this morning. Thank You that Your eye is upon them and Your Father heart cares for them in this time when they are feeling attacked. Would You shelter them in this storm, and remind them of Your constant presents and love. Touch each member of this family with encouragement and healing as they need. Thank you that they are remaining strong in their faith....renew hope for them today. In Jesus name, amen

My best friend will be burying her 34 year old son on Saturday. He was killed in a tragic car accident last Friday. She and her husband are devastated and feel so very lost. Andrew's sister Sarah is a one year survivor of Ovarian Cancer. This family has been through so very much, my heart aches for them. Please pray for Toni, Bill and Sarah.

Julie said...

Oh Father, you understand the pain of grief... Jesus wept when His friend died. Only with your comfort can these parents deal with their loss. May they walk in the supernatural bubble of your Presence - may they trust in You even though their hearts are broken. Gather them under the refuge of your wings where they are safe. May this family experience an abundance of your love ... Thank you that Sarah that is a 'survivor' - may the cancer never return. , in Jesus' name, amen.

I live alone and my work is up and down. At times I do struggle with a health issue, but do manage to work through it. I pray for steady and reliable work, good health, and peace in the building in which I live in. I thank each and every one of you women that pray for others. Thank you to Jesus who holds us all in his hands.

Julie said...

Lord, I sense a lonely heart struggling to manage the pieces of her life. I know that she is making a bigger difference in people's lives than she would think and I pray that you abundantly bless her as she touches the lives around her. Fill her with strength and health and surround her with your loving care. May there be peace in the building that is her home and give her wisdom and opportunity to bring it to pass - may your love in her over flow to draw others in. Fill her life with 'friends'. and I agree with her, it is you, Jesus, who holds us all in your hands.. and in your name we pray, amen.

Please pray for financial help for me. I've started working at it on my own but extra help in the prayer department would be amazing. I don't want the mistakes I've made in the past to follow me forever

Julie said...

Dear Lord, How I thank you that you take even the consequences of our mistakes and work them for good when we surrender them to you. I pray that this dear one will know and believe that you have a plan for her life - a plan that comes out of your love for her. May she even trust you for the financial help she needs. I pray that you give her the wisdom to know what part is hers to play - in using the abilities and opportunities you have given her. In Jesus name I ask... amen

Please pray for my daughter who just went into early labour last night. She is only 7 months pregnant and she will be having a baby boy, so his lungs would not be as developed as a little girl. This is her first baby, and I ask that you all please pray, as I believe in the power of prayer. Please God bless her and her little baby boy...

Julie said...

O Lord, you , who are the creator and giver of all life, already know intimately this little child that is about to come into this world. You have knit this tiny boy intricately in every detail and planned every day of his life. I ask that you give him strength and health and that he will bless the family to whom you have given him. I pray that his lungs would be strong and that he will live to praise you! Hold your hand over this family, working all details according to your perfect will ... and give them the joy that you desire to fill them with! In Jesus' name I pray .. amen

My daughter and we have been estranged for 10+ years now, while she parades herself as a Godly woman in her church. Our granddaughters have been denied a relationship with us despite living only minutes apart. Please pray that this madness will end ... before it's too late to matter

Julie said...

Father, broken relationships hurt us so deeply because we are made in your image and you have created us to be in loving family relationships. I don't know what caused the estrangement between this mother and daughter but I pray that you would work to break down the walls... work in their hearts .. melt the hurts that have been inflicted, either real or imagined... bring people/circumstances to bear in such a way that the daughter will desire to reconcile with her mother. Give the mother wisdom to know how to reach across the 10 years - give her the right words and right actions. And it is never too late to matter -- may this mother/daughter/granddaughters find hope and reason to praise you and be thankful for each other. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.

this is the first time I have asked for a prayer. My husband was hurt at work 3 years ago, and now has returned to school to be retrained in a new line of work, the school he is attending is in a town 8 hours away because we live in a village that is very remote and there are no colleges here. I am left here working full time, doing all the household chores as well as all his responsibilities, lets just say my plate if full! I am starting to resent the fact that I am left behind with our child and pets and he is surrounded by family and new friends in the city. I have no family and just a few friends in the village we live in so I am starting to get very lonely without him and overwhelmed with the responsibility of managing a home alone and working full time. He is dining out, going to social functions, and seems to be enjoying himself. At times I cannot reach him by cell phone and on a couple occasions have not been able to reach him for hours at a time in the evenings, and once it was overnight, because he said he lost his phone then found it the next day. I am trying to believe him but something inside me tells me he is not being honest. When I asked him what was wrong the last time he was home he said all our past arguments are bothering him, we're going back 10 years here, and he has to do some soul searching? I understand the schooling is difficult but I feel like I have been forgotten about and I am at my wits end. I am trying not to slip into depression but its difficult being here in this remote place and dealing with the everyday problems he used to deal with, car problems, house repairs etc. Please help

Julie said...

Oh Father, how my heart and emotion goes out to this wife/mother who is left feeling overwhelmed and abandoned by her husband. How easy it is to feel as she does - even IF her suspicious about her husband are not true. I ask, Lord that you send someone into her life who can help her shoulder her responsibilities, someone who can come alongside as a sympathetic and wise supporter. I pray, Lord that you would encourage her and help her to walk trusting in you and your power and willingness to work in her situation, to fill the lack left by an 'absent' husband/father/provider. I pray for this husband that he will be convicted of emotionally abandoning his wife, of focusing on his own goals and plans and not realizing how difficult this time is for his wife. Fill his heart with your love for her and their child -- that he would have a yearning to do and be according to your will for his life and that he would recognize the importance of making his family a priority second only to YOU. Where there are misunderstandings between this couple , Lord, I pray that you would open the lines of communication where both are honest with each other - that they can walk together- even in a time that is made difficult by circumstances of necessity. Father I ask your protection over this marriage that you would guide them and keep them from the work of the enemy to destroy. Hear my plea, O Lord, in Jesus' name ... amen

Anneliese said...

Dear Lord, as the rest of us read this, we agree with Julie in prayer in asking for your protection, provision and peace. We thank you that you are able to do above what we can even ask.

I ask for prayers for my cousin, Vivian, who has recently been diagnosed with leukemia. She has started chemotherapy and is very brave, keeping a positive outlook. I pray that her treatment is successful.

Thank you

Julie said...

Lord, we pray for Vivian who is facing a 'valley in the shadow of death'. I pray that she experiences 'that you are with her'. I pray that as she goes through treatment the side effects would be minimal and that you would grant her a cure. I pray too for her family and friends as they go through this time with her. Comfort them with your peace. In Jesus' healing name I ask , Amen

Jane said...

Please join me in prayer for my son. Jared. He left highschool and didn't graduate. He is now 21 and has just lost his job since the business he worked for has dissolved. He talks about wanting to go back to school so that he can attend University but has emotional barriers. I pray. God to lift the emotional baggage from the past and for him to move forward with his life.

Julie said...

Father, I pray for Jane's son Jared. You understand this young man, you know what has shaped his life. You know his weaknesses and his strengths. You know the plans you have for his life. I pray that the greatest longing of his heart would be to know you, that he would desire to walk in your paths and in obedience to your word. I pray that you bring healing and peace to his mind. Open doors of opportunity and give him the strength to walk through. Use this young man for your kingdom, O Lord, and to you will be all the glory and thanksgiving. Bless Jane as well as she loves and supports her son. In Jesus' name I ask, amen.

Please pray for my husband and our marriage. I love him dearly, but he is struggling with chronic pain (and I think depression) which has put a serious strain on our marriage. Please help him see that there is light at the end of this tunnel and that we can do anything together.

Julie said...

Lord, I bring this couple before your throne. I pray for this man who is struggling with pain and depression, feeling his own lack of ability to deal with the things he faces. I pray, O Lord, that you would give him a breakthrough in understanding that your strength can be made perfect in his weakness, that you have not left him to flounder in water too deep for him but you are taking him through rough waters to a place of divine purpose and fulfilment. May he know you have a good plan for him and are in control. I pray for his wife, I pray you give her wisdom in how to support her husband and cover him with her love. Bring this couple closer together as they walk through this testing time and draw them ever closer to you where they are safe and secure. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Our 27 year old son was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, after being rushed to the hospital after receiving a 3" deep gash in his arm from working with sheet metal. I consider this a wake-up call in many ways. It is going to be hard for him to change his bad habits, please ask God to guide my husband I in how to guide our son most productively and effictively on the road to optimum physical and spiritual health. We love him so much, it hurts so much to see him this way. Remind us that in God all things are possible. Thank you so much.

Julie said...

Lord, thank you for your 'wake-up calls' that you send not to hurt us but to prevent greater harm. I thank you too for the abundance of understand/info/help there is for those who have Type 2 diabetes. The hard thing always is our own discipline and giving up habits that are so familiar and comfortable. I pray that you would encourage and strengthen this young man's resolve to live a more healthy lifestyle and to make the changes that his medical condition demands. I pray that you would help his body to respond well to the changes he makes and may he feel the benefit in his physical and mental strength and well being. I pray for his parents who are so willing to come alongside him in loving support. Please bless this family and may even this work out for good as you have determined it should. In Jesus healing name... amen

Would you pray for me and my sister today? We are in need of a place to live. The place we are in is being sold, and we are kind of stuck in limbo. My sister can't walk up stairs, so we need a place without stairs. It's hard to find, and with out budget, even harder.
I know it might seem like a simple problem, but we're really having a tough time.
Also could you please pray that my sister's job lasts this time? She could only find work as a temp, and the jobs they have are scarce and they end, leaving us with only my disability income (rheumatoid arthritis).
I know God is here with me, but I'm feeling really low because of all this.

Heavenly Father,
You are the Great Physician, and we pray that you would heal Lindy's husband of pancreatic cancer. I also pray that you would give your peace to Lindy, her husband and to their children. Father, your will is best, and help us all to see how this fits into your plan. Amen

Julie said...

Dear Father, I pray for these two sisters with whom I come to your throne of grace to find help in time of need. I pray that you would provide for them the home that they need , may it be beyond their hope. May it be a home that will bless them in more ways than just a shelter. I pray too for the sister's job that it will be one that is permanent - one in which she is appreciated and needed. I pray that you take their 'five loaves and two fishes' of financial resources and multiply them to overflowing. May they taste and see of you goodness and provision in every area of their need. We know that you not only hear our cries but also answer and I ask that you bless these two sisters today. May their praise and thanksgiving to you fill their hearts and lives! In Jesus' name I trust in you to do abundantly above and beyond for these two daughters of yours! amen

Lana said...

I need a few prayer warriors here...Can you join me even without my mentioning what it is? I know the Father knows...and I am desperate.
Thank you.

Julie said...

Dear Father, you who see and know everything have your eyes upon this one crying out to you. Lord, you know the concerns and fears and anxiety that fill her heart and you have already gone before to provide all that is needed . May your will be done on earth, even in THIS situation, as it is done in heaven. Give this one peace and a heart filled with the knowing she can trust in you. I ask that what is twisted will be made straight, what is meant for evil will be turned for good, what looks hopeless will be shown to be the ingredients of a miracle. We trust you, we look to you expectantly and ask in Jesus name that He be the Lord of Hosts and win this battle. amen

Anneliese said...

Dear Lord, we all join in prayer along with Lana, asking for Your loving arms to hold her up and guide her. Provide for her, what she needs and show her that You care for her. Help her, if she has any decisions to make and protect her from making wrong decisions. Help her desperation to turn to a peace that passes understanding. Amen

What beautiful words you pray. Please pray for my family. I think the devil has taken over. How I have prayed but without hope that things are going to change. Seems like things just get worse.
We need to know that God is there listening.
Please lift up my family in pray that we one day can be happy again.
Thanks for this sight.

Lord, I pray for this family that feels under attack and that you are not there. May they know that 'greater is He that is in them than he that is the world'. Thank you for leaving Satan a defeated foe at the cross. May you turn things around for this family that they will know that you have heard their cries and have answered. I pray that you reach down and pour your love out over this family, may they once again find joy in you and rejoice knowing that you are working on their behalf to bring them to a place of victory in you. May the enemy and circumstances not defeat them, but may your strength be strong where they feel weak. May the things that are needful be provided, bring encouragement where there is discouragement, peace where there is chaos and harmony where there is discord. You know and see every detail of this family and the place they find themselves. You are a God who hears and answers. May they rise up and call you blessed ! in Jesus' name I pray, amen

Please continue to pray as we have suffered a set-back, our son is having a hard time giving up bad habits, and is struggling at the moment. It is very hard to see him this way. Please pray that he realizes how good life can be when you take good care of your body and mind, and that he realizes that our "nagging" is truly care and concern. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you wonderful Ladies for all you do, and how you open your hearts to others. Thank you so much - even though I have never met you, I feel strong with all of you by my side.

Julie said...

O Lord, we continue to pray for this young man who is struggling to change bad habits. You understand how easy it is for us just to slip back into what is familiar and takes no effort. I pray that you inspire and strengthen this son to take responsibility for his health and help him to see the his parents encouragement and 'nagging' as evidence of their love and care for him.
Thank you that you call others to come alongside us to uphold and support in prayer for the concerns we have for those we love, and so I stand with this mother. Bless these parents with wisdom and sensitivity to know how best to guide/help their son to adapt to what a new lifestyle demands. May this season serve to bring this family closer together, binding them together in love for one another sharing a common purpose in working toward greater health. I ask in Jesus' name, who is ever able and ready to help..... amen

RD

Julie said...

Oh Lord, I pray for RD and his/her financial problems. They are so wrong in thinking they are alone and have no one to turn to - YOU are with them and have promised to walk them through every difficulty. I pray that even as they cry out to you you will reveal your hand to them. May their faith/trust in you rise up in the midst of impossible circumstances believing that it is not the 'lack' that is important but your plenty. You are never early - to test our faith - but neither are you ever too late. I pray, Lord that you would provide for RD in ways they would never have imagined and may the day come where they walk in abundance. Give them peace in the midst of anxiety... and bring your people into their life to support and fellowship with them. You can, O Lord ! and I believe you will according to your promises for your children ! In Jesus' name we trust... amen

Julie said...

Father only your love for this beautiful daughter surpasses that of her mother. How difficult it is to see any 'good' when we watch a loved one suffer, and no greater sorrow than to face losing them. I ask for healing for this daughter, I pray for wisdom for her care givers, I pray that You be glorified in and through her life. I pray for peace and trust to fill this mother's heart that she can know that your thoughts toward them are for good and not evil. Comfort them as only you can and O Lord, if it is you will, I entreat you for a miracle that will astound the doctors! Bless this mother/daughter and may they find their anchor in you. I ask in Jesus' name amen.

Julie said...


In your wisdom, Lord, you have set apart mothers' hearts to love those little ones that cannot be cared for by their birth mothers. You do not place a desire in someone's heart if you have not already planned the way to fulfilled that desire. I know you have a child chosen for Jessica, I pray that she would rest in that knowing and have the patience to wait for your timing. Fill her waiting arms and heart. I thank you, Father, that your heart is tender toward orphans and little ones without families...and scripture tells us the "God sets the solitary in families". May your plan for Jessica unfold in lovely ways... bless her and the little one that will be hers. In Jesus' name, amen

Hi Mennonite girls,

I have been reading your blog for many years and feel I have been greatly blessed by it. I would appreciate you praying for me as a few months ago I was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer and am undergoing chemotherapy at the moment. I know how holy you girls are. Thank you for your future prayers.

Sonya, Australia

Julie said...

Dear Lord, I pray for Sonya who has just been given a terrifying diagnosis. But it is a small thing for you to heal her. I pray that as she undergoes treatment that her body would be receptive and respond with healing. May she not have any adverse reactions to the chemotherapy. May her care givers be wise and compassionate. I pray too that she would know that you are with her, that your peace fills her heart and that all her anxiety and fears are melted in your love. I ask for complete healing and that she will rejoice with thanksgiving for your goodness. In Jesus' name I ask, amen

Anneliese said...

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you that we can come to you, not because of anything we have done, but because of what You have done to show Your love for us. We ask that Sonya would especially feel Your love for her during this difficult time of chemotherapy. We pray that she will feel Your comfort and strength and come through these treatments with healing in her body. Bless her with your peace. Amen.

I have been experiencing some having high sugar in 200; tingling, high blood pressure, and some stomach aches, a lot of gas and itching. Please pray those illness and symtoms will disappear. I love to keeping working I have grandchildren to support. Pray for a good healthy mother, wife and a grandmother. I need healing from God. I believe in God. I am blessed with praying for the sickness, and I need your prayers for myself.

Julie said...

Dear heavenly Father, I pray for this dear lady who is struggling with strange symptoms that sound very serious. But they are not 'serious' to you - you know exactly what is wrong and you know exactly how to heal her. I pray for your healing hand to restore to her the stability her body lacks, that the functions her body is designed for will once again fulfil their purpose. I pray that her medical care givers will have have wisdom and be able to give her what you have given them in knowledge and understanding of how the body works and what it needs. I pray that you would grant this woman the grace and strength to be the wife, mother and grandmother that she desires to be and what her family needs. Oh Lord, you ways are so good and so abundant in power to heal and restore. May she rest in your peace and know that you have heard and will answer our prayers. Bless her and her family in Jesus' name, amen

Pray for God's favor they will find nothing wrong to his knee from the fall he encountered this week. Pray also for him to return to work soon. Pray for a speedy recover also. Thanks again.

Please prayer for my family. We need God's guidance in our lives. My son has problems that has led to his split with the mother of our granddaughter. We have been seeing her on weekends when we can. I have prayed and prayed we could be a happy family. His problems has brought much stress on our family. I pray someone could come to us and give us guidance on how to handle this. He is seeing a doctor that is leading him in wrong direction. He doesn't listen to us. As he thinks we are trying to control him.
I pray God will take control so we can enjoy being a family.
Thank you for your prayer site.

Julie said...

Father, we continue to pray for Lawrence, that you bring full healing to his knee. We pray for his appointment on Friday that x-rays/tests would show nothing alarming, nothing that shows damage. May he return to work as soon as possible and may you provide all that is needed ! In Jesus' name, amen

Julie said...

O Lord, some situations are so heavy it is hard to reach through them to find you. My heart goes out to this mother/grandmother whose heart aches for so many reasons. I pray for her son that you intervene - you have ways that bypass all the objections he could have to those trying to help him. Bring into this young man's life the situations, people, circumstances that would bring him to a place where he has no where to turn but to you ! May his own efforts to solve his problems fail, may everything he reaches out to crumble until he recognizes his need of you. May the voices of the enemy no longer lure him, may he recognize the deception. I know you have heard the agonized prayers of his family who love him and desire the best for him. I pray that his daughter will not be kept from her grandparents... I ask that she and her parents could be united - an example of your miraculous grace and forgiveness. Bless these praying parents who will not give up. Give them strength and wisdom and bring those alongside who will give good advice and support. May nothing less than your perfect will be realized in this family and may they be a testimony to what you are able to do - make a way where there is no way !! in Jesus' precious name, amen

Anneliese said...

Dear Heavenly Father, we come in agreement here asking for this son, like all prodigals needing to come "home". I pray he will see his need for You and desire to be a good husband and father. I pray You will help his parents to keep loving. I ask for restoration in all the places where hurtful things have been said or done and that these grandparents could have a good relationship with their granddaughter and her mom while they pray and trust you to work in their son's life. We all so desire a happy family and we know that You have given direction in your word to that end. Help us to trust You.

Please remember my brother - who has been unjustly accused. Please pray the truth comes to light for his benefit.

Julie said...

Oh Lord, how deeply we feel the injustice of being falsely accused - and yet who better understands than you who have been more unjustly accused than anyone! I pray for this man against whom false accusations have been made. I pray that he would rest in the security of knowing that you know the truth and you have said that what is spoken in the darkness will be revealed in the light. May you be this man's defender and may the truth overpower and speak louder than the lies. May he even in this difficult situation show an attitude that will glorify you and that his godly response would silence those who would speak against him. Thank you for his sister that is standing by her brother in support. May you be glorified in this hurtful situation ... and even bring the accusers to repentance. We pray in Jesus' name, amen

Please pray for my little 6 year old girl. She has been sick for 2 months now and having many tests and appointments. We don't know what the future holds. One morning she woke up with many symptoms and I miss the girl I once knew. Working hard as a mother to get the best healthcare and to give my children the love they deserve .

Julie said...

Oh Father, how our hearts bleed to see our children suffer. And you understand, you had to watch your own Son suffer. I pray for this loved little girl and I ask that health be restored to her body and that all symptoms would disappear. May the care givers have wisdom to understand what is wrong and what the right medication or treatment is needed. I pray for this mother that she know she is not carrying this alone but you are with her and you have spread your wings of love over her and her family. May they know that though they know not what the future holds, they know that you hold the future - and your plans for this family are good. Grant a miracle to this little girl - may joy and thanksgiving fill their home. Hear our cry, O Lord and stretch forth your healing hand to touch and restore. We put our trust in You because you alone are worthy, amen.

Hello Prayer Warriors, I like to thank you for all your prayers for my husband, Lawrence, whom had his knee have been operated on last Thursday.

Needing a prayer for my son, Brian, to straighten out all of his child support benefts back in order, and the truth will come to light for the right amount. He has children of his own and the support is not enough to cover his immediate family, all incomes goes toward his other past relationship's children. Their mother named, Yvonne is not allowing the children to see/visit their father at all. We, as a grandparents dearly missed our grandchildren especially during the holidays. I cry for them to come back into our lives. I just leave it to Him. I think its time to get an attorney for visitation rights. Pray for getting the honest, reliable, attorney to help out my son.

Julie said...

Thank you, Lord, for the good report on Lawrence and we join in prayer with thanksgiving for a full recovery, asking that he will be able to return to work next month. Bless this couple with your abundant love and joy! amen

Julie said...

Father, how complicated and painful our lives become outside of your perfect 'family plan'. And yet you are able and willing to still work even in the 'messes' we create. I pray that you would work out the the support/visitation issues between this father and his children. I ask that you would shield the children from suffering the pain of what is not their fault. May their parents be able to put aside their own feelings and desires and put the well being of the children first. May the mother recognize and even desire her children to have a relationship with their father and recognize the value grandparents can have in their lives. O Lord, I pray for these children that you would find a way to bring into their lives that which will give them the security of love and stability that is the right of all children. Work out the details and I ask that it happen in your divine intervention so that legal steps would even be unnecessary. Bring wise and godly council into this situation. Amen
