Kristen Chris got saved last week and is now actively attending church services and seeking God in his everyday life
answered 2 Years Ago |
Original Prayer Request (posted 3 Years Ago):
Please pray for my friend Chris. He has just recently transferred to my university, which can be nerve wracking by itself. On top of that he suffers from depression. Over this past weekend, he tried to end his life. Lucky for me, it didnt work. He is hurting and he needs loving friends and family, but even more than that, he needs Jesus. He is actively searching for a Savior, which is promising, but I dont want him to stumble upon a fake one. Please lift him up in prayer, for I am extremely worried about him. Thank you.

Kristen Okay, I know its been a while....but its been a long process. Chriss grandmother passed away last week....which occurred just 4 days after Chris accepted Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
Chriss grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer today. He has requested that we pray for her to have a comfortable passing. However, as I know that she is not saved, I am also requesting that she and her spouse would come to know you before she passes. Also, please be in prayed for Chris, as he is still not saved, however, it is evident that God is completing a work in him by the fact that he is requesting prayer at this time. Please pray that he will continue to allow God to work in his life, and that he will be willing to allow God to break down his mental barriers and walls, and open his eyes to the fact that God not only exists, but that He loves him, and is patiently waiting, yet actively desiring for Chris to respond to Him. Pray that he will find the strength to stop smoking and putting harmful substances into his body before it is too late; that he will be comfortable with who he is, who God made him. Please pray that God would use this opportunity to bring healing to a lost and broken family. Thank you.

I just hope that hed make better choices. He claims hes a Christian, but he doesnt live the lifestlye (thats why I left him). I can only pray that hed open his eyes and really see what hes doing.

I really cant believe this. My ex boyfriend was at the park on Saturday night with friends. Thats normal for them, because they like to play "Zombie Mayhem" where they shoot each other with Nerf guns. This time, not enough people showed up, but he and some friends hung out there anyway. They met some guy at the park, and he did weed. He said some things about me, but I dont know/care if he meant it or not. He said he didnt, but he might have lied. I dont really care about that though. I just ask you all to pray for him, that hed be strong enough to say no next time and that this wont become a normal thing for him. I also ask you to pray for me, because Im really looking down on him right now. I know God would want me to show more compassion, but I cant help but look at him and think "I cant believe I wasted my time with you". Please pray for me, Id like to leave all this with a somewhat positive opinion of him. Thanks, God bless

Michael Well, I decided that the best thing to do was to step away from that band. But that was a good thing because in the past few days, God has placed a few more band opportunities in my life. One of the them is on a worship team, with an outreach group as well. And another is building my own group of Christian musicians. I feel so blessed! Thank you all for all your prayers! God is great!

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
I recently joined a band. I dont think the guys are believers. However the one guy is really nice- I can tell that he just wants to play music. The other guy, however, is bossy and tells everybody what to play. Additionally, the house we play in is in serious needing of cleaning- almost to the point of being a health hazard. So my prayer is about what I should do. I want to confront them about the band dynamics and the state of the house. However, I dont want to appear judgmental. I want to approach them from a place of love, in order to make things better. Please pray that God gives me the courage and the right words to approach this situation. Thank you all!

My former co-worker asked for prayers for her step father: Steve Currence whos in need of a "liver transplant"! He doesnt have insurance which means hes not applicable for a transplant. However, he does have property to sell and is hoping to use that money for the transplant. Hes given a maximum of 1 yr left to live if not less.

michael You are coming at this the wrong way. You pray and expect everything to be perfect. Do you think that God is teaching you something by putting you through struggle or do you think he is going to give everything to you on dinner platter. Come on man, I know I should encourage you but you need to stop expected God to do everything for you. Pick up your cross, your sacrifises and he will meet you.

Rachel Spoon Please dont give up Anthony! It may seem like its getting worse, but maybe youre looking in the wrong direction. I had some really rough times before, and I wanted God to solve things my way. I wouldnt let him solve it His way, and that made things get worse. God would never just leave you stranded there. He will work in His timing and in His way. Just try to keep faith that He knows what Hes doing. Please, please dont give up. I;m still praying for you every night.

I just found out from my mom that he said that he may have to have his blood pressure checked. He said that he felt cold however when my mom checked his arm temperature it felt warm. A few moments later his boss checked on him and said that he felt cold. I dont know him all that well but I know him enough that Id feel better keeping an eye on him (spiritually). He is a good friend of mine.

Jonathan Well, yesterday was the funeral and burial, as the previous day was the wake as well.... I got to see some old friends from my old church. The sisters are in traditional mourning seeing it IS there mother. I was at the burial. while the Casket was going into the hole, there were a few people young & old screaming crying ....[it was a Haitian family].... At the reception, I got to greet the sisters, there 2 cousins, there father, and also got to meet the 4th sister. The Family is united during this difficult time, and even though my friend Gloria was starting to express doubt at one point via Facebook, They STILL are Women of GOD, and still have the love ones around them to encourage them in Jesus name! PRAISE THE LORD! For there mother has left a wonderful legacy in this family. Thank you all for your prayers, and I just ask that at the time of convenience, pray for this family during the aftermath of the burial. Thank you again, To GOD be the glory!!!!!!

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.

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
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

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).

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).

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.

Thank you for praying for K. Duncan. He called my husband and thanked him
for praying for him in the emergency room after x-rays. As far as we know
he had no broken bones. Just scratches on his motorcycle. Please keep praying
for L. Autwell and Ruth. L.Autwell is still in jail and the Holy Spirit has
told me he was sentenced to go to jail for his (L.Autwell) protection!
Thank you again for praying! Please keep praying!
