Please uplift me in prayer today - I have a back injury that has reoccurred and given me considerable grief; so much that I'm not able to do the Christmas baking/cooking and this makes me sad :( I so desire to be healed!
Thank you for your ministry and intercession.
Blessings to you.
-Deb E. Derksen-Dinga

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for Deb this morning. I pray for her back injury that is keeping her from doing what she loves. You are the great healer and I pray for a miraculous touch from you. I pray that you would give her peace and may she rest in you. I ask that you take her sadness and give her joy and inspire her to do what she has not thought to do. May this Christmas instead of being 'less than' she desires may it end up being one she remembers for the unexpected and joyful blessings only you can plan and give! In Jesus' name I pray ... Amen

Please lift these people up in prayer - Kathryn, 18 who had kidney cancer as an infant and is now hospitalized with an unknown problem with her remaining kidney, and Jim, a recovering alcoholic who also battles compulsive overeating - pray for him to find the Lord along with the will and desire to stop compulsively eating.

Thank you so much.

Salad, Dessert (for 40ish)lease continue to pray for my husband and I that we can heal our marriage. I am still so overwhelmed and bereft at the thought that my husband is no longer certain that he wants to share our life. It is difficult for me to continue on with a brave face and I find myself crying daily. Please pray that he will get the help he needs for his chronic pain (and I believe associated depression) so that we can begin the rest of our lives together. We were so much in love, I can't believe that we are where we are now. Thank you in advance for your prayers. It is a great comfort to me that someone knows the difficulty we face and is praying for us.

Oh Lord, I pray for this couple the enemy is working to destroy. You defeated the power of the enemy and put him under our feet. Lord I stand against the work of the enemy in the mind, emotions and life of this husband. I pray that the power/influence against him be broken. I pray for a clarity of vision for this husband, that his spiritual eyes would be opened that he could see clearly the intent and purpose of the enemy. I pray that you stir his heart to yearn after you and feel the drawing of your Spirit. I pray that you open his heart to recognize and feel the love that he has for his wife, may he realize how much he needs her. I pray that his physical health issues be resolved, that there is found an answer and help for his chronic pain and depression - bring the right medical help across his path. I pray for a special covering for this wife, grant her a love so strong the enemy cannot touch it and give her patience and understanding to stand in the gap, fighting for her marriage until her husband is able to stand with her! May this marriage rise as an example to others of what you can and will to do.
In Jesus' name we plead, amen

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for Kathryn, who is suffering from an unknown kidney problem.. but it is not unknown to you. I pray that you would heal her kidney, either by a miracle or the wisdom you have given the medical professionals. She is so young, just beginning her life - may it be one lived in fullness of health and blessing.
I pray too for Jim, a recovering alcoholic who has replaced his desire for drink with desire for food. O Lord, I pray that he recognizes the empty place he is trying to satisfy can only be satisfied by you. May his heart be moved to seek you until he finds you. Bring those into his life who will encourage him on the right path.
Thank you, Father, that you have a plan and purpose for each one of us and your desire for us is for our good. In Jesus' name we ask and believe for your answers according to your perfect will. amen

Please lift my husband and I up in prayer. We have a home since 2002. Our bank has now sold our mortgage to a company that only has complaints from all people and we are so worried that something will happen for them to take our home away. We have made every payment on time for 12 years. Bank of America sold our mortgage to a unfit company according to most people who have them. We are 57 and 55 and we don't need this in our lives. I'd so appreciate your prayers for this matter. God Bless you. Kelly

Julie said...

Father, I pray for Kelly and her husband who are concerned about the trustworthiness of the company holding their mortgage. I ask Lord that you hold your hand over this situation and keep their home secure. I pray that if there is a way they can pay off this company that you would enable them to do that. I pray that you give them peace that they can put their trust in you as their security and know that no one can take from them what you have provided for them. Bless them and their home in your abundance of grace and may your love and care for them melt every fear and anxiety in their hearts. In Jesus' precious name I pray , amen

I had breast cancer 2 years ago, and am now going for another biopsy to check on 2 lumps on that same breast. Please pray for God's healing mercy, courage, strength and peace. I get fearful and anxious and the devil puts doubts in my mind which are difficult to escape from. Bless you all.

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for a pouring out of your grace and love upon this dear one. I pray that in you all her fears and anxiety would melt away. I pray that the results of her biopsy would show there is no cancer. I ask for healing and life and your restoring touch. Give wisdom to her doctors to make the best decisions. Be glorified, Lord, I ask ..and may this one walk in rejoicing and thankfulness to you ! in Jesus' name I bring this one to you before your throne. amen

Please pray for my aunt in Germany Elsa (89) diagnosed with stomach cancer she is not saved I am more concerned with her soul salvation but pray for healing as well I have tried witnessing to her over the years and have prayed for salvation for years now she seems more open but is not quite there yet please pray I do not want her to die without Jesus

Julie said...

Lord, thank you that your desire is for every one to be saved ! I pray for Aunt Elsa who has been diagnosed with cancer.... Thank you for her niece that has faithfully stood in the gap for her praying/pleading for her soul. Thank you that through her niece Elsa had heard of your love and salvation. I pray that those words would ring over and over in her mind until they melt the resistance of her heart and she kneels at your cross seeking forgiveness and life eternal with you. I pray too for her physical healing and that her earthly days will be extended until she is ready to meet you! Reveal your love to her in a way that she cannot ignore. May your answer to her niece's prayers bring glory and praise and thanksgiving to your name! amen

Julie said...

Oh Father, I cannot even imagine the pain in the hearts of these parents. You knew before this precious child was born every detail of her life. I ask, Lord, according to your infinite mercy and love that you would touch little Madelyn and heal her for your glory. I pray that you encircle her parents with a peace that defies understanding and give them the strength to walk through the valley stretching before them. I pray that you would meet all financial need and bring to them the support and love of those you have chosen to walk with them. Father, a miracle is so easy for you and I know you love little Madelyn best, may she know nothing but loving arms around her and you carrying her close to your heart. I ache for this family and I stand with them asking for your perfect will. I thank you that you are willing and able to do above and beyond what we could ask. In Jesus' healing name, amen

For my son Max who has leukemia, and for healing in my marriage

Julie said...

Lord, the Christmas season is once again upon us that is supposed to be filled with joy and peace and good tidings!! But the reality is that there are people who are suffering and not feeling the joy of the season is for them.
I pray for this mother/wife who is burdened down with care and worry. I pray for a miracle for her son Max, that this illness will not be unto death but unto life and be purposed to bring glory to your name. May it even draw his parents closer to each other. I pray for the miracle of healing in their marriage, that their home would be once again be a home blessed by your presence - that it would be filled with the overflow of your love toward them and through them toward each other. In you there is a safe place, may this family find it !
May this Christmas be one so filled with blessing, their thanksgiving will spill over throughout the new year! in Jesus' name I declare it done, amen .

Lauren said...

I've just recently found this website looking for Christmas recipes, which I love by the way. I have dealt with fibromyalgia, endometriosis, chronic fatigue and more for years and I was very depressed this morning with Christmas only 3 days away and more to do than I know by body will allow me. So I saw the prayer requests button a few mins ago and felt I should go to it, as Im in so much pain right now. I'm not good at asking for prayer, but I would definitely appreciate it tremendously.

Julie said...

O Lord, having autoimmune diseases myself, I know what it is to live with chronic pain.. and my heart goes out to this dear one who has asked for prayer. How gladly I come on her behalf to ask for healing and help. I pray, Lord for your healing hand to rest upon her and that a wave of healing would flow over her, melting her pain. I pray too that you enable her to do what is needful for her Christmas, and help her to know what is important and what can be left. May your strength be made perfect in her weakness - how often you have done that for me! And send helping hands for what she cannot do. And I pray that her heart would be lifted up with the joy of the season -- that YOU would fill her Christmas in such a way that it will always be remembered as being a very special one! You know every desire, every wish, every need in this dear one's life and I ask that you give her the best gifts this gift-giving season! Hold her close and may she know how very deeply and completely she is loved! Thank you for bringing her here so I can stand with her before your throne to pray with and for her. In Jesus' precious name we come, amen.

I have a difficult time asking anyone for anything but, I am dealing with several health issues that are starting to get me down. I am trying to be positive but sometimes I am overcome by it all. I would be forever grateful if you would keep me in your prayers.

Thank you

Julie said...

Father my heart and my arms go out to this dear one who hesitates to ask for help. You are the one who has promised never to leave us alone. You are forever with us and you have placed us in your loving family so that we can 'comfort one another even as we have received comfort'. I feel blessed to have the privilege of coming before you to ask for a miracle in my sister's life. I pray that you would touch her body and restore it to health. I ask that you lift her up to heavenly places where she can rest in your love and your peace - trusting/knowing that your eyes are upon her and your thoughts toward her are only to perform what is good in her life. Bless her in tender ways, drawing her close to your heart where she is safe. Bring those around her that will love her, support her and pray for her and with her. May this year be a year of strength and health - one that will fill her with thanksgiving and rejoicing for all that you do for her. In Jesus' precious name I ask, amen.

My spouse is dealing with health issues that seem to be getting better, not worse. Please pray that his hearing would be restored to normal (bad tinnitus), that his back and shoulder would heal, that his vertigo would leave, and that he'd be able to sleep. It's been going on for so long now that he's worn down emotionally, and discouraged. He is having trouble working, and is scared. Thank you kindly.

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for this man who is becoming discouraged and fearful that he will not be able to physically do what he needs to do. How easy it is to sympathize with him and understand his growing despair when he sees no improvement in his condition. I pray that you would lift him up to see that you have not abandoned him, nor are you unwilling or unable to help him! May he experience your peace in the midst of his 'storm' and know that you are there with him. I ask for complete healing of all his physical issues, and that he will be able to sleep the deep healing sleep you give your beloved. I ask that even this trial will work out for good and not for evil and there will be cause for thanksgiving in this home. Bring to them the help and encouragement that they need. I ask for health and strength for this husband .. and may your strength be sufficient in his weakness. In Jesus' name, amen.

Please pray with me. I thank God for the opportunity to extend the time at home with my baby. I appreciate the Lord's timing and answer to my prayer. I am sad about having to resume full time employment in the fall. My strongest desire is to be a stay at home mom. I know no one will love her like I do. I pray God gives clear inspiration. Hope. And direction for our family. I ask for it to be soon as I feel anxious with waiting. Bless us all. Keep us healthy, happy and full of gratitude. Protect us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. ❤️

Julie said...

Father, I pray for this young mother yearning to be the one to raise the child you have given to her. I pray that you would provide for this family in such a way that her heart's desire could be realized - to be a stay-at-home mom. I pray that you bless her home to be one that glorifies you and is an example of a godly home that is a testimony to your perfect plan for children - to have the security and love that only parents can give. Guide and direct and grant that these parents make the right choices and decisions. In Jesus' name I ask. amen

Lord, I pray for Christina today who has a heavy burden to carry. I pray that she is able to lay it at your feet and trust you to guide her steps. I pray that you give her strength and wisdom to walk through her days - one day at a time. I pray for her husband that he will recognize his need of you and realize that until he gives his life to you it will continue to be a struggle to find any kind of peace or happiness. Bring the right people alongside to help this couple. I pray too for the father in the old age home that he might be comfortable there - may he also find his peace in you.

I am a young mom with two small children. I have been having some health issues and I am waiting to be seen by a bladder specialist. Ladies I am very nervous. I know that Jesus says to cast all my cares on him because he cares for me, and I pray that with my heart and my mind fixed on Jesus I will overcome. Please pray for healing, strength, and peace in Jesus name, Amen.

Julie said...

Dear Lord, I bring this young mom before you. You know her and you know all about what she is facing - and her fears of what may have to deal with. I pray Lord that you would so fill her heart with your Presence that your peace would pervade her being and she would rest in knowing that your thoughts toward her are all for good and not evil, that you understand her needs and her fears and carry her in your arms. I pray that you grant her health and strength, and that the health issues she faces will not fulfill her fears but will be treatable or cured! You have given her those little children into her care and you know their need of their mother. Bless this dear one, and may she live to give praise and thanksgiving to you , for you are good ! in Jesus' name amen.

I found your site looking for healthy meals and recipes...I just want to say it's a great concept to really focus on the idea of what some may call "soul food". Very inspiring...kudos to you ladies!

Suzanne said...

I just wanted to dedicate a prayer to help my fiancée and I be motivated to work out and eat right, so that we are happy and feel good especially on our wedding day in June. As well, I really need help praying for my parents who I am currently not on good terms with. I pray this changes and their attitudes be filled with understanding and harmony can come to our family. Thank you so much! God bless your endeavours and delicious food!

Hello, my name is Carmen McDonald, I have 2 beautiful daughters, and me and the father of my second child, his name is Buckley Dyck just can't seem to get our relationship on track, a lot of people quit and move on but I would ask for your help to pray that I stop being jealous in our relationship and for Buckley to learn patience, I know we love each other but sometimes we let outside influences come between us, I would also pray that we can be married someday. Thank you.

Julie said...

Lord I ask your blessing upon this engaged couple who are focusing on their life together. I pray that you help them to prioritize the needful things in their - putting you first and foremost and not neglecting their own bodies. Help them to make healthy decisions and live a healthy lifestyle, that would honor you and each other. I pray too for their parents that things would change in their relationship with each other, that peace and harmony would reign and that all members of this family would grow in understanding toward each other -- may love rule in this family. In Jesus' name I ask, amen

Julie said...

Lord, my heart goes out to Carmen and Buckley who have made some choices/decisions outside of your perfect plan.I pray that you would work in each of their hearts that they would be drawn to seek you above all else.. Only in looking to you can we find that life of contentment and happiness that we all desire. I pray that they would not listen to the confusing, distracting voices of the world but listen to your voice alone. Bring people into their lives that will give godly council and advice , helping them to make the right decisions. I pray for the darling little girls - that you would protect and keep them in your care , grant that they could grow up safe and secure in a godly home. In Jesus name I pray ... amen

Jenny said...

A few years ago I got pregnant for the first time! I was excited just to have our Lord decide at we were not ready for a child. It was heartbreaking. Now 6 years later, I was finally ready to try again. A month ago I found out I was pregnant again! This past week I suffered another miscarriage. I'm now mentally unstable and have lost a lot of trust/faith in the Lord. Please pray not only for us to be able to have healthy and beautiful children, but also to regain my faith. I am afraid that this will tear me apart.
God bless

Julie said...

Oh Lord, may Jenny know that your tears are falling with hers... and you have saved every one of her tears in a bottle because they are precious to you ! (Ps.56:8) You do care and you know how heart-breaking this double loss has been for Jenny. May she take comfort in knowing that her two beautiful babies are with you and she will be one day reunited with them. I ask, Lord, that you carry Jenny close to your heart, overflowing her with your love and peace and assurance that you are for her and not against her. May you grant her heart's desire to have children to love and hold in her arms... May her faith in you be strengthened and not destroyed. You are not the cause of the pain and suffering we experience in this earthly life but you are the one who is our comfort and our strength and the one who can bring joy out of sorrow - good out of heartache. May Jenny not sink into the waves but may she keep her eyes on you and 'walk on water' ... In Jesus' name, our strong tower where we are safe, I pray, amen.

Anneliese said...

Dear Heavenly Father, we do not understand when something painful like this happens and my heart goes out to this young lady. I was reminded last week, in reading about Abraham, how important our faith is to you and how you do provide, even when we may have to keep waiting and trusting. I pray You will help us all to trust Your ways in the difficulties we face and to come out stronger in the end, knowing that You do work all things for good for those who are willing to fit into your plans. I ask for Your comfort and blessing on Jenny and will wait to hear her answer to her prayers. Amen

Please continue to pray for my husband and I. For every one step forward, it seems we take two back. I love him dearly and want to support him, but it is so difficult when there is little love reciprocated. I pray constantly that he will open his heart to me again. I pray that God will show him the joy and love we have with our daughters and give him relief from his pain so that he can see clearly again. I pray for myself that I can continue to shield my children and support my husband. It gives me great comfort knowing that there is someone praying for us, thank you.

Julie said...

Oh Lord, I pray for this marriage, I pray that all weapons and tactics of the enemy would fail... that all plans of the enemy would crumble. I pray that your desire and will for this couple would be realized. I pray that the power of your Spirit would fill this wife - that her love/patience/compassion for her husband would be supernatural - that it would your love that fills her heart for her husband. Give her wisdom to know how to help him, how to act/react to him. May she not falter in standing as the 'pillar' in her family - that she would not be discouraged but know that as she leans on you, she will not fail. Comfort, even delight her with moments that give her joy... may she know that in her own weakness she is strong because it is YOUR strength in her and not her own. I pray that you work in this husband's heart, that you bring that into his life that 'is hard for him to resist'. Protect the children and may know your provision in every areal of their life. Bring people to surround this family, to support and help them. In Jesus' name I pray ... amen

Please pray for my baby who goes for her immunization this week. She is at a higher risk for febrile seizures with family history. I pray that the Lord protects her and she does not have any at all. Please pray. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen!

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for Julie who happens to share my name.... You understand her fear and anxiety in light of her recent awareness of her health issues. I ask that you remover from her all fear and worry and fill her with your peace and the assurance that you are with her, and have already prepared the way before her. Give wisdom to the care givers for the procedure she faces on Friday, grant miracles where the doctors have no answers,and may this whole experience serve to be a nudge for Julie to do what she can do to take care of her body and to minimize the risk she carries because of family genes. You are not surprised by the heart attack Julie knew nothing about ... and you can restore her to health. Give her a heart of joy and thankfulness as she trusts her health and life in your caring hands. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.

Julie said...

Oh Father, I pray for this precious child whose life belongs to you ! You have given her as a gift to her parents and you understand the concern they have for her. As she goes for her immunization this week please protect this baby from any adverse reactions, may she be totally protected from everything/anything that could harm her. Guard her and may her parents know that she is completely safe as you cover this family with your wings of protection and love. In Jesus' name we give you our thanksgiving. amen

Mary said...

It's getting so hard to get by. I believe in prayer, even if those that pray may not pray the same as I do. Is that allowed? I'm not Mennonite, nor is my husband, but we both pray. My husbands mother was a Quaker and his father Buddhist. But it worked. I was raised Catholic. We need prayers as my dear hubby has been out of work for over a year. I am the only one working. Family and friends have help a little with money. Bless them, but he needs a job. Our own money. I work, but it's hard with just my salary which is not enough to run a house on, my salary was the extra we had. So please, may I ask for prayers that a job be put in his path. He's a good man and I love him. I know he's feeling less than useful and is hurting. He'd not be pleased if he knew I was asking. But I am. Appreciate your help.

Julie said...

Oh Lord, thank you for Mary! I know how much you love her and want her to know you. You have always known her and sent your son, Jesus, to die for the salvation of all who put their trust in you! You hear every heart cry and already know the need. I pray for Mary and ask that you answer in a way that leaves no doubt but that the answer is from you. Mary's husband needs a job... you understand a man's need to feel useful and be a strong provider, and you understand his reluctance to acknowledge his need. I know you have just the right job waiting for him and I pray that it be his very soon. Bless this couple in miraculous way.... and bless those who hold out their hand to help. I pray in Jesus' name and thank you for your answer already on its way! amen

Please pray for me. I used to be in jobs that paid quite well & I never had to wonder how I was going to make ends meet. For over the past 8 years, I've had really low paying jobs - minimum wage or just above - & now I'm out of work. I've applied for EI because I qualify for it, but it's not been approved. There've been others who haven't been approved for EI as well because there's something wonky with the Service Canada website, from what I understand. Anyway, I've not had an income since January, & God's provided. It's rather tight, though, of course, & I'm working hard at looking for work.

I'm trying to find a job that pays well & that I'd be able to have until I retire, which'll be in about 20 years. I want to be able to help other people out when they're in need, including financially, & I want to get out of debt, & I want to be able to save money & to be set up for retirement. It'd be wonderful as well to once again have a job that doesn't require me to work evenings or nights or weekends so that I can be involved in my church & with other things, as well as to have a social life. I've not been able to visit with friends in person for a long time because I've either worked evenings & weekends or been out of work. For the past 8 years, I've not had a consistent paycheque, & I'm single. So it's just me. I don't want to have to rely on others for help anymore. As I said, I want to be able to help others who're in need.

Thanks so much for your prayers - I'll try to remember to come back & update you on how things go. God bless you for this ministry!!

Please pray for my friends Teresa and Terence. They are being persecuted by Children's Aid. The lies being told about her are just horrendous and completely unfounded. She's a disabled single mother raising a wonderful, courteous young man who would make any one proud.

Julie said...

Lord, I come to intercede for Teresa and Terence. You see the persecution that has come against them. You have heard the lies and know them for what they are. You are the vindicator of your children, you are the one who brings to light the things said and done in darkness. I pray that you would reveal the the truth, that you would protect Teresa and her son from any harm. May they shine in your Kingdom and may the enemy scatter before them. May Teresa trust in your strength to keep her and Terence safe in your care - May Children's Aid see your 'light' upon them and be afraid to touch them. May the authorities see the truth and become Teresa's advocate and not her adversary. I ask in Jesus' name, knowing you have already answered ! amen

I ask for prayer for our family life. God has been very generous to us by allowing us to have me at home with our baby after theat leave. I had planned to return to full time work in the fall. I was ok with it but now am sad thinking about all I will miss out on with her being at daycare. I want to be with her as she grows. Until she is in school. I will move so that my husbands career can pay for us. I just ask God to give us the answer so very soon. I have to make decisions about a new role in my job. I have to decide in the next week. I pray that God gives a very clear answer. I pray He sends us a very clear roadmap of what we should do. Please bless us Lord. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Julie said...

Dear Lord, you are the God who speaks and you are the God who guides our steps and you are the God who provides. I pray that you would open doors in clear and supernatural ways that this mother can raise her daughter. I know you desire - even commanded - that we raise the children you give us ! Will you not then provide the means for parents to do that ? I believe so !! Please, provide for this dear couple in the next few days that they will know in confidence the decisions to make that you are directing them to make !! May this child grow up knowing your love and learning to know you from the youngest age ! Bless this family as only you can !! in Jesus' precious name amen

Please pray for me as I am a recovering alcoholic. When too many bad things happen at once, I resort to drinking to try and ease the pain. I have hurt my family and I feel so guilty as they have been so nice to me. Please help me put my life in the hands of the Lord. Thank you so much for your support and kindness in helping others this way.

Julie said...

Oh dear Lord, in our weakness you are strong ! I pray for this struggling recovering alcoholic. I thank you for the loved ones you have given him/her for support. I ask Father by your supernatural intervention you take away that desire for alcohol and replace it with love - knowing your love, filled with love for you and love for their family. I ask that you guide them/teach them what it means to walk by faith, putting their trust, moment by moment in you and trusting that you will bring them through, give them a focus and purpose in life. May they put their past behind them and know that every day is a new gift from you already filled with your mercy and grace! Take away their 'guilt' and replace it with a deep sense of your forgiveness and your enabling power if they just lean into it ! Thank you for this one whose desire is to live for you... to live a life pleasing to you and to the ones they love. I thank you, for I know you have already granted my request.... In Jesus' name I pray , amen !

Thank you for joining us in prayer. I ask you to please pray again. I know with my heart that I want to stay at home. It doesn't look possible right now. I pray for God's clear direction as you prayed above. I also pray for an increase in my faith, hope and trust. God please intervene. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Oh Lord, you are the God of the impossible ... and you are never early ! I know often you wait to give us time to grow in our trust/faith in you that you will provide, you will answer ! I pray again for this young family... this mother that has the right desire, wanting to raise the child/children you entrust to her. I know you have an answer, a plan - and sometimes your plan even looks to us like it is a 'no answer' but your paths sometimes lead us left to take us right. Fill this mother's heart with peace and may she walk step by step as you reveal the way before her and I know that you have/will answer her desire ! in Jesus' name I pray, amen

Dear Lord, I join this young mom and Julie in praying for the decision that is daily pressing on her heart. I pray that You will give wisdom in this situation to how she can make ends meet financially. We know she is willing to make sacrifices to be with her child and I pray you will give help and direction in knowing how to do this and how she could possibly work from home. Help her to honor You with what you have given and to trust that You will provide. In Jesus' Name, Amen

I would be gretaful for a prayer from you. My husband and I have been struggling with faith, the choice of which church has led us to not belong to any church at all. My faith is renewed and strong but his is failing and leading him to make desperate choices about a church that I do not think has pure intentions. I cannot lead my children to that church in good faith. I pray that this is not our breaking point.

Julie said...

Oh Lord, I pray for this family struggling to find a safe and nurturing place to connect and grow in their faith and fellowship with a body of believers. I pray that you would cause things to work out in such a way that they end up exactly where you want them to be. I pray that all the enemy would do to deter or harm would would come to naught and that his plans would disintegrate and have no power against them. Bring this couple into unity of mind and spirit that they would hear your voice directing them where to go. Send your chosen ones into their lives to befriend and encourage them and love them. O Father you are able to protect and keep your own safe - please bless this couple and fill them with your Spirit. May you be the center of their home and life ! In Jesus' name , I pray, amen.

Thank you for your prayers. I ask for continued prayer. God has given us some answers. My husband and I would be able to make it on one income. I ask for God to show his path to us. My prayer today is for knowing if it's God's direction. We thought maybe we'd only have one baby. Our last pregnancy was scary at the end. Our hearts now feel like we want to have one more. We'd have to have a baby soon as I am considered advanced maternal age. I am scared about complications. My initial thought is to return to work to get maternity benefits. We even checked out a daycare and put a deposit down. I was ok with a short term plan but now my heart is breaking. I want to be with her. But I am scared to be in a tough financial spot. I'm scared to be poor. Please pray that God gives us some answers soon. I don't know what to do. But I pray I have faith while I wait. God please bless us. Thank you for praying for me.

Julie said...

Dear Father, you understand how this dear one is overwhelmed with the decisions that must be made and how frightening the unknown consequences of her choices are. But you never asked us to know or be responsible for our future, you only asked us to walk one step at a time and trust you for tomorrow. I pray that you bring peace into this wife/mother's heart and a growing trust that she can put all her fears and concerns into your hand and leave them there. Your promises to care for and watch over us are all for good and not evil. Thank you for providing an income adequate enough for the family to live on. That is an answer from you... and you will continue to provide what they need. If their desire to have another child is from you, I pray that their desire would be rooted in peace and confidence that you can give them that gift, and care for her through another pregnancy. Give her a heart of thankfulness for today and a growing trust in you for all you have planned for them. May she know your deep love for her and rest in it. Bless this family with your abundance... in Jesus' name, I ask... amen.

Janet said...

I have a co-worker who could use a prayer. Sarah is only 35 years old, In October 2013 she married a wonderful guy who she had dated for two years. They were so happy and so in love with each other. In March of 2014 Sarah's husband was admitted to the hospital with fluid in his lungs and fluid around the heart, along with his kidneys not working correctly. He was flown to Rochester where he stayed for a month while doctors attempted to figure out the cause of his illness. He came home for a month where he was seen several times a week for kidney dialysis. Within a month he was back in the hospital. This time he went by ambulance since he had a seizure. Again he was in the hospital for a month.

To make this short, Sarah's husband returned to Rochester in July and stayed again for a month. Every other month he was in the hospital for several weeks. In January he had a seizure during the night and he passed away. Sarah had only been married for a year and in that year she experienced so much with so many things associated with her husband being so ill. Doctors never knew what was causing his illness.

My co-worker, Sarah, is now going through the process of paying off all the medical bills that accumulated over the past 10 months. Some of the medical bills have been written off but others are huge significant amounts. She is so overwhelmed with expenses and has such a heavy burden in figuring out how to pay for medical related bills along with her own house hold bills that she is just having a tough time seeing a closure when it comes to all the bills.

My prayer is that Sarah, may see her way through these difficult days and that in all her burden that she had that she may find answers so her burden my not be so heavy. Also, pray that she will find guidance and support that she so much needs.

Julie said...

Our Father in heaven ... as Jesus taught us to pray, we intercede today for Sarah who is struggling under a very heavy burden. O Lord, I ask that you miraculously lift that burden off her shoulders and provide all that she needs. I pray that the bills and financial obligations will melt, covered by your riches. I pray too for Sarah's grieving heart baffled by questions that have no answers. May she know your peace and hear your gentle voice soothing her fear of the dark and the unknown in the days ahead. May she be aware that she is carried by you and can trust you for every need she has. Bring people that will surround her with your love and comfort. People who have the ability and willingness to help in practical ways. Thank you for, Janet... enable her to be Sarah's support to lean on, a shoulder to cry on and a friend to walk beside her. In Jesus' name I pray .. amen.

Vivian will now need a bone marrow transplant and her family is now being tested for a match. Next is Vivian's mother, Colleen who went into hospital yesterday and is now being treated for her illness as well as being diagnosed for dementia. The dementia seems to have advanced and the doctor believes this is due to her denial about Vivian's cancer. Then we just had word today that my mother and Aunt Colleen's older sister Phyllis who is 85 years old is in hospital on Vancouver Island with a very bad viral infection. Her condition is very grave and they do not think she will survive the night. Lastly, is my mother in-law who just recently went into a care home at the end of June due to dementia, she is 88 years old. A week ago this past Saturday she fell and broke her hip and had to undergo surgery then 4 days later a section of her intestine twisted and she had to have surgery again, thankfully she survived this surgery. Jean remains in hospital and needs to regain her strength. Please pray for these amazing ladies.

Thank you
Faye

Lord, I bring Faye's prayer requests before you. Vivian, who has leukemia - Lord, provide for her a perfect match of bone marrow - how can we pray, except for your perfect will ! May she know your peace and comfort and never feel that she is alone in her journey. For Vivian's mother, Colleen I ask that you watch over her, heal her body and her mind. Grant that her illness will never take from her her spiritual connection and hope in you. Oh, Lord, I pray for Phyllis with the viral infection that she will prove you can heal even when the doctor's see no hope. Touch her body and cause the viral infection to miraculously clear up. I pray too for Jean, who has had such a difficult with double surgery. Take away her pain and grant her a speedy recovery. Hear, O Lord, and heal ... and to you we give all praise and thanksgiving... in Jesus' name, amen

I am needing a dire need of your prayers. I've been experiencing a severe chronic pain on my left leg, from my buttock all the down my legs. The pain is like a burning in my thighs the butt area. The went to see a doctor and said it is sciatica which just gave me pain pills and muscle relaxers and I don't want to take these at all I don't like to take them. Please pray that I will be healed in Jesus name I believe he is my healer.

Julie said...

Lord, Having often had sciatica, I know the severity of the pain it causes. I also know that while it is a debilitating pain it is not a dangerous pain. I pray for this sufferer that they will be able to relax, and allow you to heal them, either through the meds or your miraculous touch. May they return to their normal daily activities without pain, and give you praise, in Jesus' name, amen.

Thank You for all your prayers. I had the worse pain last night while at work, but I'm managing the pain with stretching and taking pain medications and muscle relaxers. Keep me in your prayers I'm working extra 4 hours a/day through next weekend.

Pray for my only brother David whom is hospitalized today. He has low blood pressure and a diabetes is high too.

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for David who is in the hospital with low blood pressure complicated by diabetes. I pray that you would give the medical staff wisdom to bring his body back into normal function...but we know that you are the healer and we ask for your abundant mercy for David to heal his body and provide what he has need of. Thank you for his loving sister and bless them, Lord. We thank you for your care, in Jesus' name, amen

Anneliese said...

To anonymous with the sciatica nerve pain, I've been praying for you and also that you could find a chiropractor who has had success in helping relieve this kind of pain. I've had help that way and have not needed any more pain killers. Blessings.

Also praying for David today. Lord, help him to know you are near and to be strengthened in You.

Hi please pray for me. I never ask for prayer because of my social anxiety and ocd. I try and hold it in so I can help others. But my world is falling apart. I can't stop crying it seems. My broth sister and I
were raised in a very confusing dysfunctional home, with a dad that was emotionally ill. He was spiritually very controlling and legalistic. My parents divorced a couple years ago after 40 years of difficulties. Then my dad remarried right away and is getting divorced again. My mom is going through breast cancer and masectomey. Us Adult kids struggle to even communicate with one another as we all are in our own dysfunctions and trying to figure out what to work out from our childhoods. There is no honest communication or trust .
I've always tried to keep everything together and going but its not working now. my own adult children aren't serving the Lord and my daughter is living with a boy we don't agree with that or that he's right for her, my son us just lazy smoking pot and barely getting by with little work due to his Non motivation which has not been how he was raised. My husband and I av trying to work out what we look like after 26 years and that's not looking good, so basically I feel trapped and helpless with severe OCD and anxiety. My social anxiety has been huge my entire life. We spent years of our life's when the kids were small traveling and helping missionaries and poor in other countries, we lived a different life. The kids don't value those times now like we did and have us feel guilty for them missing out on things here. I also feel I do not know how to adjust like here at all that well.its just another thing that is lonely and hard for me and my kids . My husband doesn't understand , So thank you for the prayer.
I have felt invisible to God and have no where to ask for help like prayer. I'm having an emotional Breakdown. Thank you

Julie said...

Oh Father, thank you for sending this dear one here that we can join our arms around her and hold her up in prayer. May she know that as far away as she feels you are, you are as close to her as her breath. Whisper to her that you are strong in her weakness, that you are love in her fears, that you are peace in her anxieties. And with each breath she takes, pour into her what she needs - may she breathe deep of you and all that you offer. My heart breaks for her and her situation, and I know your tears of compassion for her flow. You have the answers, you hold all that is so needful in her situation. I pray, that today would be a turning point for her, in her despair, in her loneliness, in her pain and her anxiety...Give her something to hold onto, an anchor of hope that she knows will not fail. I do not know her personally, but you know ever detail of her life, and as hopeless and helpless as she feels, you do have a plan and purpose for her - you are the high tower where she is safe. So I pray , Lord, that even today while everything still looks so dark, may she feel the morning is coming, may she know she is not alone, may she know the hope and peace that passes understanding and may your light shine into her heart, and mind and life. And I pray that you work in her family ...her husband, her daughter, her son, her siblings, her parents...bring hope and restoration there too that this family could find solid ground on which to stand. Turn all the work of the enemy to naught and may this family see what you can do - bring beauty out of chaos. I pray this morning from the depths of heart .. I know you hear and will answer our plea.... In Jesus' precious name I pray, believing , amen

Anneliese said...

Dear Lord, I also thank you that as we read these pleas and sit at our computer, we can each pray right where we are . . . words to share or words that only You hear. Our hearts go out to this daughter/mom/wife with a burden on her that is just too hard to bear. I pray that she will not be afraid to ask for prayer, because You tell us to do that. You can take our burdens and give us rest. I pray that she will be able to share her grief and fears with others who will pray. If there is no one, please bring some people who love You, into her circle. People who will be Your hands and feet in the life of her family. Comfort and strengthen her with songs of deliverance in the night and Your Word in the day, to affirm her faith in Your amazing love. May she have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is. Amen

Please pray for my grand children they all went back to school. Pray for protection, and their learning. Both were struggled throughout last year and had repeated grades. Pray for this year will be different and will past with flying colors into the next grade. Kindergarten/1st grade again this year.

Julie said...

Lord, I pray for these little loved ones who are back in school. We know school is not set up in a way that allows everyone to learn as you designed them in unique learning styles. I pray that you would enable these two children to be able to grasp what is presented to them and that they will be able to understand. Give the teacher wisdom that she will be able to help them and facilitate their learning and create a safe and comfortable environment for them. Thank you for their grandmother who is there to fill in all the needy places with unconditional love. May this year be a year of thanksgiving ... In Jesus' name , amen

Julie said...

Oh Lord, what a blessing to be one of six sisters. But how sad when they do not enjoy that blessing. I pray that you would change these sisters hearts that they would see the value in one another and would love and encourage each other...in Jesus, name .. amen

Please pray for my lost grand children (lost contact) last time I've seen them was in 2005, to this date I haven't seen them in person. I just seen their pictures out of no where, seen them in facebook trying to browse for them. But, I am needing to start a relationship with them again IN PERSON. Their mother is not allowing the kids to see their biological father/grandparents after she left my son, and remarried. We all missed out grand children. Our prayers goes out to them daily. We keep them in our prayers for them to reunite with us.

Anneliese said...

Dear Heavenly Father, we bring this grandma's request to You again and ask for Your mercy in this sad story. We ask for your intervention in some way to allow these grandchildren to know their grandparents, by softening the mother's heart and recognizing the pain she is causing. We pray You will grant guidance and wisdom in how to pursue their right to see their grandchildren. Bless this grandma with hope and peace in knowing You are watching over her loved ones and that one day she will see them again. In the Name of Jesus we ask these things, Amen.

Hi, I have been through 4 back surgeries, have had 3 artificial knee replacements and have just about lost my ability to walk.I know in my heart if He can bring me to it, He'll bring me thru it. It's been almost 2 years now and I'm really frustrated. I would so much love to be able to get put by myself, go out and take pictures and just be whole as I was before. I know if 2 or more agree in prayer, it shall be done. So will you pray for me as I will be praying too/ Thank you.

Julie said...

Dear Lord, we pray for this one with a broken body that 'man' has tried to fix... We appreciate the wisdom and skill you have given the medical profession but sometimes it isn't enough. I pray that as we join together to ask for a supernatural healing and restoration of her body, you would hear and grant our request. To be able to just do the things our bodies were created to do is a great blessing that we take for granted until we lose it. Thank you for our bodies and the health you give, and the promises you have given regarding our healing ... We trust in you to give the very best ... And may this one know that you are always enough... may her heart be filled with your love and your peace ... as you pour out your grace. Thank you, and to you we give the praise and glory ... in Jesus healing name we pray , amen .

I need prayer again for missing half of my grandchildren, today one of my grown teen grand child looked as they are scared, we are strangers to them, and don't want to communicate with us.(They don't know us a grandparent to them) I'm taking it very hard realizing how far we've been apart from them, Facing our aging is very difficult in being called "grandma or grandpa" Please, pray for an opportunity to become closer than ever before in getting them grandchildren back in our lives. Their mother (Yvonne) is keeping them away not to see/visit with their biological father (my son); and us grandparents for 9 nine years now; youngest is 10; 14; 15 ages. Please pray for their mother to have her children to see us again. Please pray.

Julie said...

Lord, I hear the agonized heart cry of these grandparents...as do you. I can't even imagine what I would do if I was denied access to my darling grandgirls .... and I understand the helplessness of these grandparents. O Lord, intervene in some way to cause the situation to change in such a way to allow a reunion between these children and their grandparents. Cause them to desire that relationship, to long for it and give them the trust to know how much their grandparents love them. Cause a softening in their mother to realize she is robbing her children of something precious - cause there to be a healing of her own heart. You can move mountains, please move this mountain out of the way that this family can be reunited and reclaim the years the locust has eaten. Please comfort these grandparents as they wait - you know how painful it is for them. Yet in and through it , you are the only one we can look to - whom we can trust .. and so we pray, In Jesus' name, amen.

Please pray for my grandson, Andrew, 6yrs old, having a hard time with his speech and having trouble sounding out words; at times he don't want to go to school. Please pray for him.

Julie said...

Dear Lord, I pray for this little six year old boy who obviously has some challenges that are making life difficult for him. I pray for a very sensitive teacher who can understand and provide what he needs. I pray for him to be loved and accepted in his school environment that he can feel that he is okay. Shower this child with your blessings, bring the right teaching and/or medical professionals that are needed to help him 'fit in' and grow to be a strong, confident child. Bring him a close friend, one who will be his defender and play mate. I know your loving eyes are on this child to help him along his way, in Jesus' name, amen.

Lord, you know the dynamics of families and how stressful the dividing of an estate can be. It seems it brings out the worst in some people, and the best in others. I pray for this couple that is facing the loss of their home in which they have served you in honoring their parents and grandparents. You promised a good life to those who had a caring heart toward their parents. I ask that you work things out in such a way that this couple would not only be able to keep their home but that they would be blessed above and beyond what they could think to ask! I pray too for this aunt that she would come to a place where she recognizes how her selfishness is hurting her family and may she realize that she does love her family, after all. You know best, Lord, and that is what I ask, for your perfect will in whatever way it will play out best to your praise and glory and thanks giving in the hearts of this family. Bless them and fill them with your peace and may they have freedom in forgiveness ! In Jesus name I pray , amen .
