ISABEL Please pray for the salvation of my husband. I know he loves me because he goes with me and my 3 baby girls to church and even wants to do some anti abortion protesting but he is missing one huge thing and thats a relationship with Jesus Christ. I so long to have him lead our family in prayer and I know hes got a heart for service so why not serve the one true king? I have been waiting now for ten years of marriage for him to catch up to me in my walk with God and I love him and his wonderful family who adopted him and raised him in the faith. I know All things are possible for those who believe and I am holding in to Gods promises that is what keeps me going strong for Jesus. Thank you for taking the time out if your day to pray for me. May God bless you and yours

Nathan I have a friend who is like a brother to me that is really needing prayers at this moment. I have been talking to him and he has started to go to church with me. Now he believes in God but I dont know if he KNOWS God. So pray that he would turn his whole life back around to Jesus. He also got laid off from his job a few weeks ago so pray that he might find one soon. He also has a few personal battles that he is going through with his family looking down on him because of his past. Pray that I would have the words to say to him when I talk to him that would be an encouragement and a blessing to him. and I already want to thank God because I KNOW that he is going to answer these prayers one way or another. God Bless !!

Jasper According to the people around me, I have two friends. But i dont feel that way. I started out with excitement. We are all Christians and I was so looking for a fellowship. But after 1 week, i got to know their true nature and now i am starting to develop resentment. I am doing medicine, 3rd year. I have been patient with them for 3 years. but now, whenever i see them, i will think "oh God, do i have to say hi?" They have mocked me, called me a traditional freak for the sake of asking them to read Bible everyday and not only on sundays, the "righteous" show-off and more. I have kept quiet. But recently, I am not able to do that. I feel like talking back to them harshly. One of them is always complaining, talking bad language, and has a bit of pride. the other one is always arguing and tries to prove that she is right and often makes fun of others. Now i am starting to think whether it is Gods will for me to be with them or not. I need your advice and prayer. And please do pray that the hurt they have caused would heal soon and that i would get the strength to forgive them

Jason My son has been in the USAF for almost a year and half now. He worked very hard throughout high school and went to basic training only 6 months after high school graduation. Since the age of 12 all he wanted was to join the USAF. Tomorrow he is taking what is known as his CDCs (Career Development Course), Basically a test about his job. He needs a 75.1 or better to pass. Its a 100 question test. If he fails this test he and his immediate Supervisor have to plead his case before the Base commander for a 2nd chance. If he isnt granted the opportunity at a retake he is discharged from the Airforce, If he is able to retake the test and still fails once again he faces a Discharge. My son Brendon is a hard worker with a strong work ethic, stays out of trouble, and has served well during his time in the service. He does not test well. He nerver has. He is one of those people that knows all the answers but when that piece of paper is set in front of him entitled Test he freezes up. I ask for your prayers in his time of need. Thank you and god bless.

Scott (SDB) Please pray for any who may suffer from one illness or the other. May God provide great comfort while healing or the terminal continue to suffer receive even greater and mighty comfort. I have recently started a ministry on Google , "Alternative Christian Community", may any who join find acceptance, whether they be outsiders, misfits, introverts, goofy, homosexual, or non-Christian, including atheists. God loves us all, we can do no less. God commanded, Jesus said; love others as yourselves. Put others as better than you, look out for the interests before your own. Judge not or you shall be judged, the measure you give so shall you receive the same from God. Its not about religion, rather, its all about a relationship with our Lord

Darilyn Hello Everyone, I need prayer for a past 2 year relationship. My heart is broken and I feel as if I cannot go on. Im still very in love with him and it hurts to know that we are not together. God has given me dreams of things that were going to happen in our relationship and they did. I ask God to speak to me because I sometimes cannot interpret my dreams. He has alot of pain and suffering inside that he holds on to and a strong hold that is keeping him from Christ. I want him to find Jesus. If their is anything that I ask of God, it would be to know if he is the one for me or not. Ive lost Faith and I too need Jesus. I am a sinner and I have walked away from Jesus. I want to give my life to God but I feel as if I will fail him again. I really need an answer...

Moses I Need Prayer For My Social Anxiety. I Have A Real Problem With Socializing With People And It Really Holds Me Back When I Want To Sread The Gospel
2 Months Ago |
O.0 Oh my gosh I cant even tell you how much I am praising the Lord right now!!!!!!!! Thank you for praying, we still need prayer, but AHH!! GUESS WHAT?!??!! My Grandmother, who started off with a flu and then got the worst case pneumonia you can get (I mean, the kind that young people die from, and shes 90) and the doctors said she probably wasnt going to survive, is DOING BETTER!!
They had given her the antibiotics, and usually what happens in this situation is the patient will get better but then right afterwards plummet and do really bad. Thats what they figured was going to happen with my Grandmom. So anyway, well first... the first night she was in the hospital and they said she probably isnt going to live, I was praying to God not only for her healing and salvation (and she might be saved by the way, I really dunno yet) and other stuff, but also that she would have a restful night sleep. Well the next day we heard that that particular night she had a wonderful rest. I was like THANK YOU GOD!!!
The second night I was still praying but I was crying all night cause everyone was so gloomy about her situation we all sort of expected her to die unless there was a miracle, everyone has been planning out the funeral arrangements. Well my dad calls this morning with a little ray of light, he was like, theyre sending her home because shes actually doing better!!!!!!!!!! Shes actually coughing up the junk in her which they said was a good thing. They sent her home with antibiotics. So what is going to happen now is, either shes going to recover and live, or if she gets worst, shell go back into the hospital and I dont know what will happen after that.
I just want to say what Ive learned through all this, so that you may learn and benefit too! One, I still dont know if my grandmother is going to survive this, Im just so thankful shes doing better right now in this particular moment. I was praying the pneumonia just get out of her, and to hear about her now coughing the stuff up am like ha!! :D :D :D But I just wanted to say that through this whole thing that has happened so far.... One I learned more than I knew before how I have no control over anything. I am but Gods creation in Gods plan living my life God has ordained and whatever happens with my grandmother is also in Gods hands. Two, I learned that praying repeated prayers, at least with the mentality of "if I pray this one prayer constantly God might hear" is pointless, and totally misses the point of prayer. I knew that before, but through this whole thing, Ive noticed it better then I knew before. God never said repeat your prayers to me so that I may be persuaded by them. No, He said praying all sorts of prayers all the time. I have never prayed so much in my life, I mean, seriously, and Im not boasting, this is just something Ive never done before that God has been teaching me stuff through.. UH GOD IS JUST AMAZING!! But I was praying periodically throughout the day and at night and it was so neat to learn that God has heard my first prayer, my second, my third, none of my prayers need repeating, I can pray all sorts of prayers. Sometimes I felt like, how do I pray in this, what do I say Lord? But it all just kinda came together. Third thing I learned was how Jesus prayed. I felt weird asking for God to take the pneumonia away sometimes cause I was like, well, if its not Gods will that she live then why I am I praying for it to go away, what should I be praying for, etc. etc. And then I remembered Jesus, and He prayed, before being crucified, that this cup be lifted from Him but not His will the Fathers will. Jesus actually prayed the cup be lifted from Him, just as I CAN pray for my grandmothers pneumonia to go away. And I was like, I know Jesus already knew what was going to happen and why, but I dont know what is going to happen with my grandmother, but I realized that I can pray for things, like my Grandmothers pneumonia to go away, but I must give it to God. Not that it was EVER mine to control, however, my trust in Him is all I have to give. So either I dont trust Him, or I do. So, despite being totally distraught and crying my head off cause I didnt want to see my grandmother hurt or die or anything (she still might die, I know) but I was like, after all my prayers, "Not my will, but Yours" and it was frustrating in a way because I was like, I just dont get it. I dont know what is happening I cant see what God sees this is so frustrating!!! But God has been teaching me more and more about His sovereignty (what number are we on? Four? Three? lol Lost count) and what that looks like, and its like I am but MATTER, a mere Creation, there is NOTHING about me or for me, except to fall down and praise God. Think about that for a moment. On the flip side of this, I may be mere matter, but God made this mere matter and has called it special. To a mere human like myself, that seems incredible that a God who created me should love me. But look at it from Gods perspective! Of COURSE He loves what He has made. I will never fully understand Gods love for me or how He works with His children, all I know is that in this present situation, at this very moment of this situation, all I can do is trust God, praise God, pray all sorts of prayers and honestly tell Him not my will but Yours Lord. Though I never had, or owned, the situation..though the situation was never in my hands to begin with, I never ever had it, I was never ever in the position to give supposedly my power over the situation to God to let God deal with it, because I never had such power to begin withNo, Ive come to realize that giving things up to God is not giving up something, its doing the thing that only we can do, realizing and acknowledging God as what He is, the Sovereign Lord who is the Only One who has EVER been in control of anything and everything! I may question many things, and I shouldnt really because I should just trust, but its so easy to forget in our little earthly lives, and especially since weve never seen God face to face, its so easy to forget, what Sovereign means. In fact, there is nothing else to compare, so we have no earthly example of what Sovereign means, so its hard for us to even grasp it. To learn it, however, is what God will teach us. And i think God has been teaching me that during this whole thing, and I just wanted to share that with you!
Anyway, thank you for praying, all sorts of prayers, to our God, for my Grandmother. Even though my grandmother seems to be getting better now, and that is rather tempting to make me want to pray like, "GOD!!! FINISH THE JOB HEAL HER COMPLETELY!!!" Im not, Im going to continue to pray the way I have been, to give up "my will" for the only will ever in existence, Gods will. God does hear prayers and He answers them all, according to His Sovereign plan, because He does only good! My grandmother still needs prayer, shes not fully recovered, I still dont know about her salvation, I dunno WHAT is going to happen but I CAN pray for what is going on WITH acknowledging not our will (again, not that our will ever had control over anything) but Gods will. His good, pleasing and perfect will. And by the way, my none stop prayers which I had mentioned before, Ive never really prayed this much before, wasnt because I wanted something so bad, I mean, I wanted a lot of things, but all these prayers really came out of me because I desperately love my grandmother and I dont want to see anything bad happen to her. And that made me think of how in 1 John 4, verse 20, it says how those who dont love those whom they HAVE seen, could not love God, who they have NOT seen. And also in verse 10, how God sent His Son for us because He loved us. All of this made me think of how, the love I have for my grandmother, and I mean, I was SO sad about this by the way, she literally is the most special person in my life, EVER, I cant even tell you. I mean, I love everyone in my life, and I never have favorites but I wont deny, she is something VERY special to me more than others, for some reason. Hate saying I have favorites and I wouldnt say I do, I love everyone in my life, but again, she is just really special to me. But I remember feeling horrible about not knowing if she is saved or not, I actually was like, man, if I had some kind of control over this (again, "my will" never was, its always "Gods will") but I thought, if I did have some kind of control over it, if she was going to hell, Id give up my life for hers and let her go to Heaven and Id go to hell in her place. I mean, I knew I shouldnt have said that and I WASN"T telling that to God like, make it so! I know I shouldnt dabble in things like that and I wasnt by the way, thats just how I felt and I really meant it, though I wasnt saying "make it so" because I knew thats not how things work and I should not dabble in that..again, thats just how I felt. Anyway, that made me think about, my love for my grandmother, is like the love God has for His Son, and for us.. God sent His Son, for us. I will never fully grasp the depth of that love, but like in 1 John, I realized, how can I understand the love I have for God if I didnt know what it was like to love those whom Ive seen, like my grandmother, and I have never seen God, yet I love Him. No, I dont need people to see to know what love means. But I will tell you, it does put a different perspective on it, a more "real" perspective.
ANYWAY! Enough of me rambling.. and by the way, I wasnt boasting about my prayers or anything, just so you know, I just wanted you guys to know what has happened!! I never usually tell people what "Ive done" because I dont want them to think I was trying to boast, Im a sincere person who would never say something to boast, I hate boasting. Again, I have never had any control over anything, I CAN"T boast. I just wanted to let you know what has been happening :) Also want to say that, NO, my saying Id give my life up for my Grandmas was NOT going to make God be like "oh, my holy and faithful child, I will give you whatever you want" haha. no no no please dont misunderstand!! That merely showed me what love meant, more than I had realized before :) Thats all that ever was, just so you know.
Anyway :) Keep praying all sorts of prayers all the time, in HIS WIll, give up what control you thought you had that you never had, because you never had it, but acknowledge His Sovereignty.. not so your prayers may be answered in the way you like, but so that you may see what a prayer truly means and see what good God is doing, because in all things, God is good and does good He can only do good! It hurts me to see my grandmother might die, and if she died, I might be like, this wasnt good! But know that I understand to some degree what it means to say God is Sovereign now, and I hope that if you dont understand that to some degree, God will show you, because knowing even to a small degree what that really means, one can only praise Himyou realize when you learn what it means to say God is Sovereign, that that is the position God has been trying to get us into because that is the position we are suppose to be in BECAUSE that is the only position we are in or could ever be in. Any control we assume we have is our own deception. The keyword here is good. Gods Sovereignty is GOOD. I use to sometimes feel like, God, not all of this is good, how can I revere your Sovereignty? How can I acknowledge it properly, when I dont understand? But I have learned that, indeed, Gods Sovereignty is not just some all powerful control. It is all powerful control that is GOOD. What I mean is, we dont have a bad God. We, thankfully, have a GOOD GOD!! So if you cant see the future, fear not! Pray all sorts of prayers, acknowledging Gods will, because there is nothing but that that we can do. Everything is in His hands, and God can only do good! Do you even realize what blessing it is to have a GOOD GOD!!! (Just imagine what it would be like to have a cruel God who enjoyed making the worst for His creation, imagine us as Gods toys..lol) GOD IS GOOD! "Praise the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His might heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with timbrel and dancing, praise Him with the strings and pipe, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD"!!! (Psalm 150).

Hello everyone! Id like to pray for all the young men here who are struggling with pornography. I pray for their strength to stay away from this temptation, and that they would strive to stay sexually pure for their future wives. I have friends who indulge in this sin, and they dont even attempt to hide it. They trade sites, and even refer porn to ME (and Im a 16 yr old Christian girl!). I constantly worry that my younger brother or my boyfriend will fall into this sin. So please pray with me for not only my friends and family, but for all who struggle with this. (whether they are young, old, married, single, male, or female!) God Bless you all! Lets try to reclaim our purity from this sinful society!

I also want to pray for the viewers of the video, that their opinion on God and Christians isnt damaged. And for me that Ill stop thinking so badly of her. I want to scream, and throw things, and cry, because this video is so disgusting and repulsive to me. Please pray for Japan, NOT FOR THEIR FURTHER DESTRUCTION, but for their salvation and for aid to all their troubles. 6 Commented |
Dana I watched that video, and i will pray that she will see that the video she posted is wrong, and that God be with the people in Japan and the people effected by the video. Amen. I too had the same feelings you have, it is sad to see a person say such mean things about asians, we are unique in are own way god made us that way and We should treat no one different..... God Bless

Okay..as you all know I have been working on all my college stuff. Well I saw a counselor at my college and I told her I wanted to major in Journalism and receive my AA Degree. But she put me down as a social science major, (a very general major) to just transfer to a university which is not what I want. So PLEASE pray that I get all this MESS sorted out! 4 Commented |

this is a prayer praising for God! thank God all for the care He took at my journey in India! it was so really great! thank God, blessed be His Name!God bless you Maria Thank you all for the prayers. I now know that as long as I walk in Truth, as long as I walk in Light, I will not be a stumbling block to those around me, lest I cause someone in darkness to stumble into light. "Those who claim to abide in Him must walk as Jesus did." (1 John 2:6) That verse says so much.

I ask that you may pray with me, and strengthen my prayer:Lord, I know there are times where Ive disappointed You. I know to choose to repent, pray, and get it dealt with right away instead of dwelling on my mistakes letting my sin grab hold. Even though Ive disappointed You and itd be easier to let Your disappointment drive me away from You, I know that You are the only One that can purge me of my sin and drive me closer to You, and that You are willing because You love me. "For we all stumble in many things, for if anyone does not stumble, he is a perfect man. . " (James 3:2) But Father I know that its one thing for me to stumble, and yet another thing to cause someone else to stumble; itd be better for a brick to be hung around my neck and for me to be thrown into the sea than to make another stumble. So Father, I pray that I may not be a stumbling block to ANYONE who is a brother or sister in Christ; that Im not one to cause another to struggle. Amen. 12 Commented |

ok so not so much a prayer request, more of a testimony. yesterday(tuesday...yeah tuesday i think) my english class was really having a rough time. everyone was angry(and probably still is at each other) so my teacher assigned a paper. the thing was meant to be a rant about what was wrong. i couldnt think of anything and was bambuzled by it. i turned in a blank paper and told my teach that there is nothing wrong at the moment. then it hit me...nothing was wrong and nothing had been for awhile now. i thought to myself long and hard on it until i realized that it started happening right when i got more active in the church. almost like someone was helping me out and making life simplier(wink wink). Cheers zack i have decided to take everything in stride, ya know. Gods calling for me still is like looking though a thinning fog and soon will be clear

Hi, I have a big piano test today and tomorrow. Please pray that all goes well! Im so nervous. Thanks! God bless! Luis Saldarriaga Thank you for your prayers brothers and sisters. I have been employed for 3 weeks now in a job that has so much room for promotions and great pay!! My father helped me get this job. The only thing is that its a temporary position while the previous employee is on 3 months leave. My fathers boss is trying his best to get me in permanently and I have faith that God wont let me down because I really need this permanent job. So long story short, please pray that God supplies me with a permanent spot after my 3 months is up. Me and my soon to be wife are counting on it big time!!! We are getting married in November this year so if I dont get this permanent spot right away we are going to have to push it back. please pray for my permanent spot please!!

I need prayers my brothers and sisters. Please believe and pray with me about finding a job. I live in Brooklyn New York and it is so hard to find even the simplest of jobs. I will do anything that God brings to me. I am so anxious about finding a job because I am engaged to be married in November of this year. We will if we have to but we would rather not push the date back. Its all in Gods timing though. Also, please pray that God speaks to us about where he wants me and my fiancee to go because we both want to move to Pennsylvania when we get married, so we are seeking Gods direction in that. We dont want to move without his instruction. Thank you my brothers and sisters. I stand on Joshua 1:9 . I dont doubt God I just need your prayers. Jordan Dean I just love when God goes above and beyond what you ask for and answers your pray and throws in a bonus blessing. My family is moving by the end of the month to a beautiful house on the coast where everyone will have their own bedroom. It is an extremely nice neighborhood and the schools there are great. Thank you all for your prayers, God NEVER lets us down. =]

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
My mother and 3 younger siblings that live in California have been struggling financially for a long time now and my young sister Allie (14) has been exposed to drugs and sexual threats in her current area. My two brother Gabe(12) and Isaiah(10) have also had horrible things happen to them there. My mother has recently found a house she can afford so I just ask for prayer that everything goes smoothly and that Gods will is done in their lives. Thank you all so much and God bless O.0 Oh my gosh I cant even tell you how much I am praising the Lord right now!!!!!!!! Thank you for praying, we still need prayer, but AHH!! GUESS WHAT?!??!! My Grandmother, who started off with a flu and then got the worst case pneumonia you can get (I mean, the kind that young people die from, and shes 90) and the doctors said she probably wasnt going to survive, is DOING BETTER!!
They had given her the antibiotics, and usually what happens in this situation is the patient will get better but then right afterwards plummet and do really bad. Thats what they figured was going to happen with my Grandmom. So anyway, well first... the first night she was in the hospital and they said she probably isnt going to live, I was praying to God not only for her healing and salvation (and she might be saved by the way, I really dunno yet) and other stuff, but also that she would have a restful night sleep. Well the next day we heard that that particular night she had a wonderful rest. I was like THANK YOU GOD!!!
The second night I was still praying but I was crying all night cause everyone was so gloomy about her situation we all sort of expected her to die unless there was a miracle, everyone has been planning out the funeral arrangements. Well my dad calls this morning with a little ray of light, he was like, theyre sending her home because shes actually doing better!!!!!!!!!! Shes actually coughing up the junk in her which they said was a good thing. They sent her home with antibiotics. So what is going to happen now is, either shes going to recover and live, or if she gets worst, shell go back into the hospital and I dont know what will happen after that.
I just want to say what Ive learned through all this, so that you may learn and benefit too! One, I still dont know if my grandmother is going to survive this, Im just so thankful shes doing better right now in this particular moment. I was praying the pneumonia just get out of her, and to hear about her now coughing the stuff up am like ha!! :D :D :D But I just wanted to say that through this whole thing that has happened so far.... One I learned more than I knew before how I have no control over anything. I am but Gods creation in Gods plan living my life God has ordained and whatever happens with my grandmother is also in Gods hands. Two, I learned that praying repeated prayers, at least with the mentality of "if I pray this one prayer constantly God might hear" is pointless, and totally misses the point of prayer. I knew that before, but through this whole thing, Ive noticed it better then I knew before. God never said repeat your prayers to me so that I may be persuaded by them. No, He said praying all sorts of prayers all the time. I have never prayed so much in my life, I mean, seriously, and Im not boasting, this is just something Ive never done before that God has been teaching me stuff through.. UH GOD IS JUST AMAZING!! But I was praying periodically throughout the day and at night and it was so neat to learn that God has heard my first prayer, my second, my third, none of my prayers need repeating, I can pray all sorts of prayers. Sometimes I felt like, how do I pray in this, what do I say Lord? But it all just kinda came together. Third thing I learned was how Jesus prayed. I felt weird asking for God to take the pneumonia away sometimes cause I was like, well, if its not Gods will that she live then why I am I praying for it to go away, what should I be praying for, etc. etc. And then I remembered Jesus, and He prayed, before being crucified, that this cup be lifted from Him but not His will the Fathers will. Jesus actually prayed the cup be lifted from Him, just as I CAN pray for my grandmothers pneumonia to go away. And I was like, I know Jesus already knew what was going to happen and why, but I dont know what is going to happen with my grandmother, but I realized that I can pray for things, like my Grandmothers pneumonia to go away, but I must give it to God. Not that it was EVER mine to control, however, my trust in Him is all I have to give. So either I dont trust Him, or I do. So, despite being totally distraught and crying my head off cause I didnt want to see my grandmother hurt or die or anything (she still might die, I know) but I was like, after all my prayers, "Not my will, but Yours" and it was frustrating in a way because I was like, I just dont get it. I dont know what is happening I cant see what God sees this is so frustrating!!! But God has been teaching me more and more about His sovereignty (what number are we on? Four? Three? lol Lost count) and what that looks like, and its like I am but MATTER, a mere Creation, there is NOTHING about me or for me, except to fall down and praise God. Think about that for a moment. On the flip side of this, I may be mere matter, but God made this mere matter and has called it special. To a mere human like myself, that seems incredible that a God who created me should love me. But look at it from Gods perspective! Of COURSE He loves what He has made. I will never fully understand Gods love for me or how He works with His children, all I know is that in this present situation, at this very moment of this situation, all I can do is trust God, praise God, pray all sorts of prayers and honestly tell Him not my will but Yours Lord. Though I never had, or owned, the situation..though the situation was never in my hands to begin with, I never ever had it, I was never ever in the position to give supposedly my power over the situation to God to let God deal with it, because I never had such power to begin withNo, Ive come to realize that giving things up to God is not giving up something, its doing the thing that only we can do, realizing and acknowledging God as what He is, the Sovereign Lord who is the Only One who has EVER been in control of anything and everything! I may question many things, and I shouldnt really because I should just trust, but its so easy to forget in our little earthly lives, and especially since weve never seen God face to face, its so easy to forget, what Sovereign means. In fact, there is nothing else to compare, so we have no earthly example of what Sovereign means, so its hard for us to even grasp it. To learn it, however, is what God will teach us. And i think God has been teaching me that during this whole thing, and I just wanted to share that with you!
Anyway, thank you for praying, all sorts of prayers, to our God, for my Grandmother. Even though my grandmother seems to be getting better now, and that is rather tempting to make me want to pray like, "GOD!!! FINISH THE JOB HEAL HER COMPLETELY!!!" Im not, Im going to continue to pray the way I have been, to give up "my will" for the only will ever in existence, Gods will. God does hear prayers and He answers them all, according to His Sovereign plan, because He does only good! My grandmother still needs prayer, shes not fully recovered, I still dont know about her salvation, I dunno WHAT is going to happen but I CAN pray for what is going on WITH acknowledging not our will (again, not that our will ever had control over anything) but Gods will. His good, pleasing and perfect will. And by the way, my none stop prayers which I had mentioned before, Ive never really prayed this much before, wasnt because I wanted something so bad, I mean, I wanted a lot of things, but all these prayers really came out of me because I desperately love my grandmother and I dont want to see anything bad happen to her. And that made me think of how in 1 John 4, verse 20, it says how those who dont love those whom they HAVE seen, could not love God, who they have NOT seen. And also in verse 10, how God sent His Son for us because He loved us. All of this made me think of how, the love I have for my grandmother, and I mean, I was SO sad about this by the way, she literally is the most special person in my life, EVER, I cant even tell you. I mean, I love everyone in my life, and I never have favorites but I wont deny, she is something VERY special to me more than others, for some reason. Hate saying I have favorites and I wouldnt say I do, I love everyone in my life, but again, she is just really special to me. But I remember feeling horrible about not knowing if she is saved or not, I actually was like, man, if I had some kind of control over this (again, "my will" never was, its always "Gods will") but I thought, if I did have some kind of control over it, if she was going to hell, Id give up my life for hers and let her go to Heaven and Id go to hell in her place. I mean, I knew I shouldnt have said that and I WASN"T telling that to God like, make it so! I know I shouldnt dabble in things like that and I wasnt by the way, thats just how I felt and I really meant it, though I wasnt saying "make it so" because I knew thats not how things work and I should not dabble in that..again, thats just how I felt. Anyway, that made me think about, my love for my grandmother, is like the love God has for His Son, and for us.. God sent His Son, for us. I will never fully grasp the depth of that love, but like in 1 John, I realized, how can I understand the love I have for God if I didnt know what it was like to love those whom Ive seen, like my grandmother, and I have never seen God, yet I love Him. No, I dont need people to see to know what love means. But I will tell you, it does put a different perspective on it, a more "real" perspective.
ANYWAY! Enough of me rambling.. and by the way, I wasnt boasting about my prayers or anything, just so you know, I just wanted you guys to know what has happened!! I never usually tell people what "Ive done" because I dont want them to think I was trying to boast, Im a sincere person who would never say something to boast, I hate boasting. Again, I have never had any control over anything, I CAN"T boast. I just wanted to let you know what has been happening :) Also want to say that, NO, my saying Id give my life up for my Grandmas was NOT going to make God be like "oh, my holy and faithful child, I will give you whatever you want" haha. no no no please dont misunderstand!! That merely showed me what love meant, more than I had realized before :) Thats all that ever was, just so you know.
Anyway :) Keep praying all sorts of prayers all the time, in HIS WIll, give up what control you thought you had that you never had, because you never had it, but acknowledge His Sovereignty.. not so your prayers may be answered in the way you like, but so that you may see what a prayer truly means and see what good God is doing, because in all things, God is good and does good He can only do good! It hurts me to see my grandmother might die, and if she died, I might be like, this wasnt good! But know that I understand to some degree what it means to say God is Sovereign now, and I hope that if you dont understand that to some degree, God will show you, because knowing even to a small degree what that really means, one can only praise Himyou realize when you learn what it means to say God is Sovereign, that that is the position God has been trying to get us into because that is the position we are suppose to be in BECAUSE that is the only position we are in or could ever be in. Any control we assume we have is our own deception. The keyword here is good. Gods Sovereignty is GOOD. I use to sometimes feel like, God, not all of this is good, how can I revere your Sovereignty? How can I acknowledge it properly, when I dont understand? But I have learned that, indeed, Gods Sovereignty is not just some all powerful control. It is all powerful control that is GOOD. What I mean is, we dont have a bad God. We, thankfully, have a GOOD GOD!! So if you cant see the future, fear not! Pray all sorts of prayers, acknowledging Gods will, because there is nothing but that that we can do. Everything is in His hands, and God can only do good! Do you even realize what blessing it is to have a GOOD GOD!!! (Just imagine what it would be like to have a cruel God who enjoyed making the worst for His creation, imagine us as Gods toys..lol) GOD IS GOOD! "Praise the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His might heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with timbrel and dancing, praise Him with the strings and pipe, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD"!!! (Psalm 150).

But know that I understand to some degree what it means to say God is Sovereign now, and I hope that if you dont understand that to some degree, God will show you, because knowing even to a small degree what that really means, one can only praise Himyou realize when you learn what it means to say God is Sovereign, that that is the position God has been trying to get us into because that is the position we are suppose to be in BECAUSE that is the only position we are in or could ever be in. Any control we assume we have is our own deception. The keyword here is good. Gods Sovereignty is GOOD. I use to sometimes feel like, God, not all of this is good, how can I revere your Sovereignty? How can I acknowledge it properly, when I dont understand? But I have learned that, indeed, Gods Sovereignty is not just some all powerful control. It is all powerful control that is GOOD. What I mean is, we dont have a bad God. We, thankfully, have a GOOD GOD!! So if you cant see the future, fear not! Pray all sorts of prayers, acknowledging Gods will, because there is nothing but that that we can do. Everything is in His hands, and God can only do good! Do you even realize what blessing it is to have a GOOD GOD!!! (Just imagine what it would be like to have a cruel God who enjoyed making the worst for His creation, imagine us as Gods toys..lol) GOD IS GOOD! "Praise the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His might heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with timbrel and dancing, praise Him with the strings and pipe, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD"!!! (Psalm 150).

Well, we just got some further news about my Grandmother (Ive been posting about her already). Please pray for her, she is in the hospital with the worst case pneumonia you can get they said and they dont think she is going to live... I dont know if she is saved. Please pray for her and us, I am so distraught. She is so special to me. If I only knew she was saved itd make her passing easier but nonetheless I dont want her to go. Please pray I get to talk with her one last time. Or else her healing. But especially her salvation if she is not saved. If I could talk with her one last time if she is going to die, I would ask her if she wants to receive God into her life if she hasnt already. Thanks. jessica Well today is day #8 of my husbands sobriety. As usual things are going pretty well. We have committed to praying together in the morning before i leave for work and at night before we go to bed. Weve also been talking alot more. Things always go great in the begining though. My fear is what might happen as day 90 gets closer. Weve also been watching teachings br Joyce Meyer which seen to be opening his eyes quite a bit to what is going on in his life and changes he needs to make. I thank you so much for your continued prayer for us. I will keep you updated =) God Bless!

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
Hi,My husband is an alcoholic. He is in recovery but only makes it to about 90 days before he relapses again. Each time he relapses he doesnt come home at night wont answer his phone or return my text messages be cause he is ashamed of what he is doing. A few times he has ended up in jail for drunk driving. He says the guilt he feels cause of what he knows its doing to our family is what keeps him aways from it for 90 days but then the urges start coming and he feels the only way to make them go away is to give in and get drunk. I am to the point where i dread when that day draws near cause i know how much pain is coming. I believe he is sincere when he says he doesnt want to do it, but i dont know how to help him get past days 90. he has been drinking since he was about 10 yrs old so its been a really long time. Hes never really had anyone in his life who encouraged a relationship with Christ until meeting me and my family. He has given his life over to Christ and mostly follows his ways but then gets into a funk and starts reverting back to the old him and thats when he gives in to the temptation to drink. Im afraid if this keeps happening one day he may take a life id he gets behind the wheel. Also i worry about the example he is setting for our 4 children. If you wouldnt mind praying for his recovery i would greatly appreciate that. Thank you so much for your time in reading this. God Bless 6 Commented |
Courtney ...its taking me some time to try and figure out what to say about this one.. Because Ive seen what alcoholics do, and they have scarred me most of my life with my sisters.. I hope to GOD that this will pass and that none of this affects any of you in the long run. Esp. your children because Ive seen what it could do. This prayer bothers me because I know its hurting your whole family.. Your husband is deeply burdened by this horrible addiction.. And I pray to God that with his wonderful family, he can make this through and see what kind of person he can be without the drinking... You and your family are in my every thought and prayers. Take care hunn and keep us updated, and if you have anymore troubles, just post a prayer request and we will be here for you. May God Bless hunn.

Please pray for one of my aunts. She has been in multiple relationships, but they always end up broken. She just got into another relationship. She was raised in a Christian home, so she knows the truth. But she wont submit herself to the Lord and surrender her life to Him. Pray that she would answer Gods call to come home, and that she would be healed from the hurts in her life. shelbster92 Ive been prayin for a while over what to do about this relationship. I had alot of support and advice on what to do. After a few months i have learned that i really wasnt happy with him because i dont agree with his lifestyle and he only wants one thing. After him wantin me back for a while i decided to end it for good. Lookin at how my friends bf treats her, as in he treats her like a queen, i realized that i was missin out on what its supposed to be like to feel special. my ex never did anything for me, and only told half truths and i got tired of it. i now know what NOT to go for and how i should be treated.

I just got out of a rough relationship. Never really had a bf before till recently and it turns out all he wanted was sex. He didnt get it, so he broke up with me because he said he felt like he was goin to cheat on me. I lost him as a friend too because he wanted to just use me as a backup. We dont talk anymore. I hope and pray I can get over this and hope to find a real man. 11 Commented |
