Mary A Please pray for my 40 year old son who is addicted to drugs/alcohol (mostly drugs). His health is shot (has had 2 kidney transplants, has a cyst on his spine, and skin cancer, plus, of course, his finances are a mess because hes got to feed that habit!). Ive been praying for him for 25 years. Hes been in treatment several times, last time a year ago this month and was doing so well for several months, but then slid back into that lifestyle. I want my son saved and set free from the chain of addiction. Thank you for praying! Mary Ann

Help him not to become distracted by many opportunities, but to know where you would have him to invest the time and gifts you have given him. Thank you for his heart to serve you. Grant him opportunities to share your gospel and advance your kingdom, even when hes not part of an organized outreach or ministry. May his life continue to bear fruit and serve as a beacon of light to those around him, especially to those that can relate to his past. Pour out your Spirit upon him, that his words may be Your words and lead the lost to repentance. In Jesus name!

Alexandrea I have been together with my boyfriend for over a year now. I am strong in my walk with God, but he isnt because his family is not that strong at all. Were still in high school. He told me a week ago that he had lost some feelings toward me due to lack of hanging out and doing to the "daily routine and going threw the motions" which I was feeling as well. But I didnt lose any feelings for him. We have been hanging out a little bit each day after school. Things have gotten better but I need prayer for the Lord to bring me peace, guidance, strength to not be weak, and for him to fall back in love with me. For God to be the center of our relationship and to not let the world tell him what is right and wrong. Please. :(

She has undergone many tests over the last week and is scheduled to begin four rounds of chemotherapy this Friday. The intent is to shrink her tumor enough so that it either disappears or will be small enough so that removal surgery is possible. The tumor is located between her heart and spine. Please pray for this beautiful little girl, pray for total healing, peace for her three year sister, her parents and her grandparents, pray for strength and wisdom for her doctors and surgeon.

Deborah My son Aaron. Has walked with the Lord since he was little. He went to college, got a great job, bought his first home, and has continually prayed for a wife. As a family we did not lead the average life. We went to a Vineyard Church and when the opportunity came up to go and plant a church we sold everything and went. Our hearts have always been a little shaken by just being chuch people. Aaron is struggling, trying to find God. Through all of the things he has accomplished it means little. He feels empty. We dont live close to him, but from what he has said it almost feels like the sturring from the Lord that we felt. We believe God is drawing him in, but he doesnt know what to do about it. Today when I was wrapping his gift that we got from you I felt impressed to ask you to pray for him. He will be thirty tomorrow and our hope is that this is the year Aaron hears clearly form the Lord, and he takes steps. Thank you. Deb

O.0 Hey everyone! Praise God your prayers were answered in exactly the way God wanted them to be! I had no idea what God was planning, but so many wonderful things have been happening concerning not getting a job. The good news is though, God has provided me a freelance job!!!!! I would like to pray, if it is Gods will, that this freelance job will continue. So far Ive worked there about four times and have made some decent money for college!!! So praise God!!! Even if this freelance job doesnt stay, I know God will provide for me then in another way. I would love to keep this job of course, but whatever. Ive come to learn that Gods way, is the best way. So just praise Him that I have a job now!! :D :D :D :D Thanks for your consideration in praying for me! :D May you see all the blessings God has put in your life today!! :)

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!!!!!!

At my old church in Brooklyn, Ive got to know (and have had past crushes on) 3 sisters that have become VERY good friends of mine, by the name of Ketsia, Gloria, and Elisabeth. They have another sister that I dont know, and 2 cousins that I know very well... About an hour and a half ago, Ive learned that there mother has passed away on tuesday, and Im still awaiting updates regarding funeral arrangements. These women are very powerful worshippers. I love them deeply, and Let me tell you.. to lose a parent, I thank GOD that I do not know what its like cuz if my mom passed away... man, I dont know the next time anyone of my friends would ever see me again.... This news is crazy, so I ask that you lift there family up in your prayers during this very difficult time.

I ask that you guys pray for Gods will to come through and for my worries to cease...so I can just trust God with this. And we have no school the whole week either. A pipe burst. So thats less and less practice time and on top of that Drivers Ed was supposed to be all this week too. I hope I dont get an ulcer...

Rachel Spoon Well, I did it. I went to his house, and we talked. I started crying even though I told myself I wouldnt, but he was sweet about everything and held my hand, hugged me when I needed it. He was supporting me even when I was breaking up with him. Hes a great guy, and I wish things could have worked out, but hes just not right for me. I know God will bring someone along for me someday, and Ill wait till then. It feels strange not talking to him every moment of the day, or being able to text him just to say good morning, all that stuff. I think we need time apart to get over this, but hopefully we can be friends later on. Thanks for the prayers guys. God bless.

The decision breaks my heart, but I know I have to go through with this. Please pray that Ill be strong enough to do it, and that both of us will be strong afterward. I wish the absolute best for him, and I want to stay friends, though I know we might not be able to. This really is breaking my heart, but its getting a little easier to accept it.

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!

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!

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):
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.

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

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.

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. =]

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).

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).

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!!

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

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.
