Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
I really dont know what category to put this under. Its part salvation, part family and part marriage. My dad is not saved. He denies God and doesnt admit to the presense of Christ; however, I believe that he once knew of Christ. Anyway, recently, on September 29th 2010 to be exact, I found out that for the past 3 years, my fathers bussiness trip to Asia were nothing of the sort... in fact, he was conducting some different type of bussiness. My mother was devastaed and wanted to seek a divorce, but after prayer, she decided to stick things out and wait for Gods answer. Its quite dificult on my and my sister of 12. Its confusing and I really dont know what to do. I want to rely on Christ completly, but I dont that relationship that I want with God. I ask that you pray not only for my fathers salvation, but for my parents marriage and for the growth of my relationship with Christ. Rachel Some of my loved ones still need salvation. Im doing somewhat better. Thanks for the prayers.

Please pray for the salvation of my lost loved ones. A good handful of my family still needs to be saved, including both of my brothers. And I do have a lot of friends who are still lost. Please pray that God would work in their hearts and lives, and that they would come to know Him as their Lord and Savior. Also pray for me please. To grow in my faith and love for God. To not be ashamed or embarrassed about my faith when I am around those who do not believe. I want to live my faith out. Thank you <3 7 Commented |

Kristen Chris got saved about a week ago, and let me tell you it is clearly evident when God changes hearts. Since Chris got saved, he has done a 180 degree turn around. He is going on 3 weeks sober, and is on fire for God. Hes constantly searching for God, for its his desire to get as close as possible to him. Furthermore, hes been actively attending church and stopping people on the street to make sure that they know Christ. God is good. :)

Original Prayer Request (posted 2 Years Ago):
I just want to lift my friend Chris up in prayer. For months now, he has been struggling with the concept of finding God and up until recently, he was professing to be a Christian....however, over the past week, he has decided that God doesnt exist. Today he even requested that I start to refer to him as "The Unholy One." He believes that he is consumed by evil spirits, and that it is quite possible that he is Satan. This is only further fueled by his depression, bipolarism and schizophrenia....and by the fact that many of his "trustworthy" friends are atheists that actively encourage him to deny Gods existence. He has also been spiritually wounded by the death of someone close to him following a long battle with alcoholism. Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you. 14 Commented |
Sarah32 Lord I thank you for Kristens heart. Shes concerned over her friend and really wanting the best for him- spiritually and mentally. Lord I pray that You would speak the Truth into Chris life. Let him hear Your words louder than the scary things hes believing as real. You are healer of all Lord, of not only the body but the mind and spirit. Lord, I pray that You, good Lord, would heal Chris mind. If medication needs to be taken, then I pray that You would guide Chris to the right medication and the right help for him. We are putting Chris into Your hands, good Lord and trusting You to do good things with his life!

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. 9 Commented |

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.

So far, there are no new charges and hopefully and prayerfully theyre wont be any. We should find out by Thurs. or Fri. I have told Jerry prayer is very powerful (always knowing that the Lords WILL be done first). This will be such an amazing new start for him and our family. His daughter (6yrs) misses him so much and needs him, her Daddy, even more. Please keep them in your prayers, In Jesus Name, AMEN Robin

I need prayer for my son Jerry who is in jail (again) that the Lord would touch him and speak to him for his salvation and the will God has for his life. He is waiting to see if they are going to press new charges(could mean 3-5 years) or they can decide there is not enough evidence for a trial and let him go home. He is 31 and I have been taking care of 6 year old daughter all this time. He seems sincere to want to be a full-time father for her (which she would love). Please play for Gods will in this matter and that hopefully he will get another chance at freedom and having a real relationship with not only his daughter but with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Linda Lisa My Friend is now back in South Africa, praying and hoping from that side of the world. She hopes to return sometime in April. Please keep her in your prayers!

Please pray for my family, my baby cousin DaeJanae passed away sunday morning she was only 4 days old. Please pray for my family and I to be strong as we plan the funeral, and as my father officates the funeral. Most of my family is Catholic and they are using problems about no having a rosary, and a funeral mass. Vicki Blessings, Brothers and Sisters in Messiah. I would love to say our prayers have been answered, but not yet. When I gave the Lion of Judah pendant to Alex he resisted at first, then there was a softening in him; just a tiny one.

I just bought a Lion Of Judah necklace for a Sephardic Jew who is from Mexico and "practices" Roman Catholicism but isnt saved. We both know I was led into his life to help him learn of his Jewish heritage and spiritual kinship with Messiah; he now hides this knowledge from himself and his family. Please pray that his heart will be opened to the teaching, blessings, and salvation of Messiah. Blessings to your Ministry in His Holy name. 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).

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).

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. phuti HEY EVERYONE!In the precence of God there is fullness of joy.Thanks to everyone that has been a pert of my prayer to seek God and make him part of my live again..i realised that GOD is the best,and i have to be honest with him,not try to hid things from him for he already knows the future and everything that is to happen.I did not have to feel that i am no longer his child because of the wrongs that i had done but should go to him and ask for direction and that he be in the everyday choices that i make,that he leads my path and strengthen me in hardless situations.Today my relationship with God is once again growing and i find his precence amusing.I LOOVE YOU GUYS GOD BLESS

i need to be oness with GOD again.For some reason I am so distant from Him 11 Commented |
Sarah32 Hey Phuti! I love your desire to be one with God, that is so awesome!! I know we all go through different seasons of our lives- sometimes God tests us by removing all those wonderful "feel good" feelings so that we have a choice to make- to grow closer to Him in spite of those wonderful feelings not being there, or to choose to believe that He simply removed His presence because He just doesnt care. Always know he cares for you dear, more than a mom cares for her babe. Feelings will come and go, but God is forever and ever the same! We can also go through these times when we distance ourselves from God, or bring something in thats unpleasing to Him. Whatever it may be, pray to God, scour the Bible for these examples (ie David in Psalms or Jeremiah). I pray that you will find the reason, Phuti,and I pray that you will enjoy this season of your life with Jesus...no matter how you feel. :)

God knows this person and what she needs, I dont know who she is, but God knows, and God has heard our prayers, and if she needs something that we havent prayed for, let God provide that, whatever it may be :) Amen!

Please pray for Kristie Tunick. I just heard about this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU29dM_rKXM Christian God is certainly in the process of answering my prayers, and I would appreciate continued prayer for personal calling, ministry, and purpose along with the salvation of my family. I know now in part what He has told me He will do! It involves transformation in an unusual and purpose fulfilling way, and to use me and my family as an example to the whole body of Christ that He can turn around a seemingly hopeless situation and make it into a story for is glory. He wants us to believe Him for greater things than we have previously. Dont limit or confine Him! So many have endured terrible losses, and the enemy is relentless. Even in the current state of the USA, I believe God is going to revive and restore one more time, and that He desires that this generation is given to Christ, I am talking the whole generation and whole families. We are in the end times, but God desires that this last generation sound the shofar, go out with a bang! He wants none given into the hands of the Antichrist, and all men and women to repent and be saved. We can believe Him for great things, brothers and sisters. It aint over until God says so, and Hes still pouring out his grace and love in lavish amounts, signs and wonder, before the end of the age, as it says He will in the book of Joel, so it shall be! Keep believing in Jesus triumph at the cross qualifies us to receive Christs unsurpassed riches and full weight of His glory. Amen. Will notify you guys of pending breakthrough, but I believe God has already done it, and it will surely manifest in the physical realm according to is timing be blessed all of you, and thank you for praying!

Please someone pray that the Lord grant me both a personal vision and direction in my life. I lost a job recently, and theres no money. I desperately need Jesus to open my eyes concerning what Im in this world to do for Him, and how to utilize the gifts Hes given to me. In addition, I really want to be baptised in His Holy Spirit and with fire; so the only ones who can pray believing He will do this need to pray! Pray that Jesus would visit me… Also that Hed bring salvation to my unbelieving family: inc. my father, my brother and my sisters; all of them are "atheists", and I am praying that God will prove Himself in my life (since they mock me often) and that they will know Jesus is alive. Thank you, and God bless every one here, and especially those who intercede for me and my family. God knows the time is short, and the Bridegroom may come any day! 12 Commented |

daretobeajesusfreak Dear Heavenly father I ask that you hold her son close to you. Just show your love to him. Pour it all onto him. Bring him to his knees Lord. Just hold Linda close to you. I know it must hurt her and make her sad but Lord let her know you are working in this. Love and bless her for her prayers and for caring. Most parents today dont care but she does. I thank you for that. Show her son how blessed he is to have her. Lord I love you. Lead that whole family to you and transform them into the image of Christ. Help her to spread the good news of Christ to the world. In Jesus name amen.

My son James - He is not saved. I am worried about him. He has depression and is ADD. When I walked out of the abortion clinic 36 yrs ago with him in my belly I prayed that God would bless him and take care of both of us. God has. However, I am just sick knowing he does not even care to know God. Please pray for both my sons salvation, and healing in our relationship as well. Sandy Art has fully recovered and returned to work. Hes driving a car and riding a motorcycle. It was touch and go at times, but for God. I continue to hope that Art and his wife, Cathy, will come to know the Lord and be saved. Thanks for your prayers!!!

Where to start...well Im 17 and really am alone in this world. Ive never had a girlfriend (which im constantly made fun of for). In response I am completely addicted to pornography and have been kicked off multiple sites for being underage. Ive tried going to a youth group and I know God wants me to be a leader since I have recently been endowed with a Street Team Ministry club. Can someone please pray that I can break the hatred I feel toward love and women an general. Also that I find just one real friend that I can do stuff with and not be a shut in anymore...please? 17 Commented |
Michelle There was a skit at church last night that really moved me. A man walking along and several people would entice him to go drink, do drugs, go to women. Each time he went over to them, they would beat him down to the ground. He would leave and once again they would convince him to join them to only beat him down again. All along Jesus was standing by watching it all, waiting to rescue him. Things of this world will lead to destruction and ultimately spiritual death on this earth and for eternity. Dont let the enemy deceive you. You need real passion and real intimacy, God knows how to give it to you because HE CREATED IT! If you submit to Him! He will bring you true fulfillment but, you must first believe. Nothing is impossible with God but, he leaves the choice up to us. He doesnt want to take anything away from us, he knows there is no true fulfillment in sin. True intimacy is when the Lord brings you someone who truely loves you for you and you are both righteous in His sight and come together as man and wife, nothing is more beautiful. God Bless, I am praying for you.

Michelle Oh, I almost forgot! The end of the skit, the man went to Jesus, tired of being beat down by this world, Jesus wrapped his arms around him and lead him down the path of everlasting life, no beat downs there. :o)
