Prayer Requests (29)

Hi.
So, my boyfriend of over 6 months has been struggling for the past 2 months with th financial battle of finding a car. His car broke down on a trip down to Tennessee and ever since then he has been so stressed out and can't get a good deal on a car. His parents and family won't help him out because he's 18 and they don't have the money. I just pray that you give my boyfriend the faith to believe God will get him through this tough time and that God will find a way to fix this and put him at ease. Thank you!

My sister is dating a really not so good guy and she has changed a lot since then so if you girls could just pray for her. Madi I totally agree with what your saying about small paryer request and big ones. That is really cool how U said "He knows when a sparrow falls." Thank you all for praying!

I have just realized something: have you ever noticed how when we write 2 people on the prayer board, we tend 2 write 2 just the long prayer requests? That's all we see. It's kinda like life: we think that the big things are important, and that's all we really pay attention 2, but little things can make a HUGE difference. Like the little prayer requests. Nobody pays a whole lotta attention 2 them cause they don't think they will b as important as the long prayer requests. But I want everyone 2 know that no matter how big the prayer request is, I am praying 4 it. God see's things big and small. He knows when a sparrow falls. He knows how we feel. Whether ur prayer request is one line long or ten, I will pray 4 it. May God b with us all.

Praying 4 u,

Madi

 

Dear Zephie,
I will absolutely pray for your neighbor. My grandma was really sick a few months ago and she wasn't saved. ALmost everone we know and even many we don't know were praying for her and she became a christian 10 days before she died so i ablolutely believe in the power of prayer and I believe that if it is Gods will he will heal your neighbor. God can perform miacles so keep trusting him!
Your Sister in Christ,

 

My neighbor (two houses ago) and dear friend just sent me this email. She is in her late 60's (I think) and I've known her since I was about three, and she is very dear to me. Below is part of the email she sent....

QUOTE:

"...I've been very sick. I was put into the hospital for kidney failure and was there for 13 days. I am now home and we're waiting to see if I can recover enough to stay off permanent dialysis. They have no idea why they failed so that's yet another issue."

I think this is pretty self-explanatory. I would really appreciate your prayers as I don't know how long she has to live. She is like a second grandma to me (we were so close that I cried when her CAT died!) This is a very tough situation for me, her husband, all of her grandkids, and of course, her, so please pray.

 

Dear Hope,

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you! You are exactly the way God wanted you to be. Your situation can't be easy, and I am very sorry about it. But please try to remember: just because one realationship has ended doesn't mean it will be the last. Perhaps God wants to show you that your perfect guy is out there somewhere. What I think you should do is just pray. God knows what your going through, and He wants to help you. But don't forget who your Perfect Prince really is. He is always there for you.

There is a guy out there that will love you no matter what, and he will see the true beauty within your heart. You two will one day meet, and you will glorify God for Him bringing you someone so wonderful. I pray that God helps you through your situation. God bless.

Your friend in Him,
Madi

please pray for a girl i knew that used to go to my church and she had some home problems. someone called CPS on her family a few months ago and they ran away from CPS to another state. she wasn't really my friend, i didn't really know her that much but i have been thinking about her alot lately and i really want her to be Ok and not hurt and i hope someone helps her and gets her out of that home because i am sure it must be horrible. I can' even imagine what she is going through right now. and also pray for my grandpa because my grandma died in January and he is living alone right now and for my dad becasue it was his mom and for just my entire family becasue we really miss her. i am about to cry right now. and also for my aunt because she was a christian and my uncle wasn't and he left her and they are getting a divorce now. PLEASE pray for the girl that used to go to my church!!!!!PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

 

I am having a really hard time fully trusting God and letting him control my life. I have a problem with trusting Him to make me feel complete, instead of a boyfriend, who unfortunately don't exist in my life. The biggest trust issue I think I have though is being able to witness fearlessly. The on;y time I have ever tried it, it blew up in my face and really broke my heart and I am scared to try it again. Please pray that I will fully trust in Him to make me complete and that I will lose this seed of fear for witnessing Satan hs planted in me. That would help me alot! Thank you.

 

Dear Kerri,

May God bless you for trying to bring comfort to others. Though you may not realize it, those that you pray for may be deeply moved by your concern for them. Sometimes, what you say is exactly what they needed to hear. God bless you.

Your friend in Him,
Madi

 

I dated a guy for almost three years. Things were getting kind of serious, so we decided to take a short break. When we did, my best friend went behind my back to date him. I don't trust her anymore, and she loves to post blogs about me that aren't true. I deleted my Myspace and Facebook because of her, but I really miss my ex-boyfriend. I know that I shouldn't because if he was the best relationship that I ever had, I know God has something so much better for me if I follow His plan. But it doesn't make it feel any less like someone ripped away a peice of me. I feel like I'm missing something, which is a stupid way to feel, but after such a long and serious relationship, I still miss him and thik about him almost every day. I haven't seen him since we broke up, in August, but I'll probably see him at eighth grade graduation and awards night on Friday. I don't know what to do, because he'll be with her. I don't even understand what he sees in her! She wears tight, see-through clothes with tight jeans and high-heels, and she's mean. I try my best to be modest and glorify God in everything that I do, but he wanted her. I can't help but think, Is there something wrong with me? What did I do to make him want her more? Am I defective or something? please pray for me.

Dear God,
Please help me with my friends and my life that's not going so good at this time.
AMEN

 

i recently moved to alaska and hate it up here. i was trying to survive and was doing okay when the winter hit, and i got really depressed, and then 2 streets away from me this guy murdered his dad. so that totally freaked me out and ruined my life and because i got so depressed i started hurting myself. the sunlight is back to normal now and im on meds for the depression, but sometimes when life is giving me flack and i find myself missing my home (in kentucky) and my friends, church, etc. i want to cut again so badly. i guess just pray that i will have the strength not to, and that i won't fall in w/ the wrong crowd. i need some friends and am not really finding any up here. soooo, i would appreciate the prayers.

 

Dear Anonymous,

MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY!!! I don't know how hard it must be to be pregnant, but at my school, there is a girl who is 14 as well and she just had her baby a couple of weeks ago. Babies are blessings from the Lord. They are His children. It's never too late to turn your life around. I will pray for you. I also will pray for your baby. God bless!

 

there's currently a genocide going on in Darfur. it would be really great if we could pray for all the victims living there.

 

One of good friends is gay. Please pray that I will understand how to handle our friendship. Things are very awkward.

 

please help me to think about more positive things and not to forget that i am still young and to be true to myself.

 

I suffer from depression and i really need help in this time in my life. I have Drifted away from God and really hop to rescue that relationship with him.

Thank you for your prayers

 

okay so if you read this some people will probably turn there nose up and not think anything about it. I am 14 and pregnant, with triplets. I made a mistake once and it came back to bite me in the but. I need people to pray for me and the father. no one knows how it is to be a pregnant teenager unless you actually are one you get dirty looks every day. Just please pray for these babies who are due in 1 month. I made a mistake but i have realized that and hope that other people will forgive me

 

My grandpa hasnt been doing so good lately, and my step-grandmas not treating him good. She thought that he would die during christmas week or something and we're gald he didn't. I want to know that he'll be okay when he visits god. He's fallen out of his wheel chair and his face is bruised which isnt the best for an elder like him.

 

my dog is missing for about 2 weeks and I want him back home .I miss him a lot his name is jelly Bean

Please pray for my dad. Everyone else in my family are Christians accept him. We have been praying for him for years. But, he still hasn't changed.
