Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living 27 so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near.
Acts 17:26-27 (MSG)

dear alice,
i am so, so sorry about what you have to deal with at home. no parent - and i mean NO parent AT ALL - has the right to call their children negative things!!!!!!!!!! i'm also realy really sorry about your dog. i don't have any pets, but i have friends who do, and they're very attached to their pets, so i kind of know how hard it is to lose a pet. i totally admire the fact that you can still turn to God in this extremely tough time. please know that i am praying for you!!!!! please keep trusting in God and remember that He loves you more that anyone else ever could!!
your loving sister in Christ,
eliza<3

Dear Amy,
I will be praying for you; I'm going to put your name on my prayer list I have on my wall. So know for sure that there is someone out there who cares and is praying for you to have peace and rest in Jesus. The Lord wants you to seek Him with all your heart and cast all your cares upon Him. Read His Word, cry out to Him, even though it's hard, TRUST Him to take care of you. We all have difficult times spiritually, and He uses them to strengthen us, ultimately. Sometimes He doesn't answer our prayers right away, but might make us wait so we truly see how much we need Him and must rely on Him, but He will not forsake His own. So, I will be praying for you!
Jeremiah 29:13
1 Peter 5:7
Psalm 55:22
Love,

Do you have any tips on how to get more out of what you are reading in the bible. Sometimes i'll go through a whole passage and ill read the words but the meaning will just not come. On the other hand, sometimes the message is almost....redundant...is that bad 2 say? but its true cuz it just keeps going on and on when i feel like saying I GET IT ALREADY lol thank you

I am having a problem with masturbation. Please pray for me to have self-control and to stop this regularly.
Posted by Brianna | February 22, 2010 5:22 PM
Please pray for my friend, who is going through a hard time. Please also pray that my interactions with him be what God desires. I am unsure if God wants me in his life anymore, and I am confused and hurting.

Well, for starters I have a lot going on! School for one is just a hectic life all itself! It creates so many problems that i even have trouble with sleeping at night because i rack my brain over the most dumbest stuff! Then my really good friend decides she is not happy with where we are sitting at lunch and for once in my life i actually like where i sit!HELP! talk about an overload and then on top of that i am doing 3 sports at once, i keep hoping god will help me with everything but so far i haven't really made an effort with that! so what should i do?
Posted by Sarah | February 19, 2010 8:36 PM
Please pray for me. I feel so selfish but I need it so bad. I hate living at my house with my parents. I hate being with my parents. Sometimes I wish I never had to see them again. Everytime I try to do something for myself they yell at me. Any time something is gone they accuse me. They call me fat and stupid and that they wish I wasn't around. My dog I have had for two years taken total care of they are gave him away without me knowing...I am still crying. I just cannot take living here any more and I have no where else to turn and no where else to turn to. So I am turning to the only power I know in the world. God. and I pray He will help me through. Thank You.

Hi everyone
I am struggling with focusing on a guy I am interested in more than God. I think about him all the time, and wait impatiently for his emails; I don't even think this gus thinks of me as more than a friend, which is ok, but I want God to be my true love, and He isn't right now, and it's just an awful feeling to not love Him best and first. Please pray that God will be my heart and life, and not this guy or anyone else. Thank you so much.

Please pray for me. I am currently in a silent battle that only I & a close friend know of. I am dealing with a rising eating disorder due to my low self esteem & fear of being "fat". I wish that I could eat breakfast without feeling guilty, but until I reach that point, please pray for god to help me through this dark period.

Posted by Meggie | February 8, 2010 5:33 PM
hi shelby,
ok, so 2 respond 2 what u said last time:
1st of all, i do not think ur stupid!!!!! ive had gyz in my life who were k/o like that 4 me, & altho the feelings u hv 4 him rnt good 4 u (as i cn tell u frm xperience), theyre definitely not stupid. so plz dont think ur stupid, b/c u so rnt!!
u said u find fulfillment in gyz. try 2 find fulfillment in THE Guy, the One who made u, knows how ur feeling, & cn hlp u. seriously!!!!! He’ll hlp u & heal u, if u only give Him the chance.
im rly glad that u hv a good girlfriend who listens 2 u & com4ts u. is she a christian so she cn pray 4 u?? if she is, then gr8!! if shes not, then i would strongly recommend trying 2 find a good christian girlfriend who cn pray 4 u, as well as listen 2 u & com4t u. mayb u could evn try 2 find a older christian woman who u could confide in & who could give u advice?? idk – just trying 2 think of stuff that would hlp, in addition 2 what i said last time.
also, is there any way u & ur mom could get things str8ened out?? im sure it seems 2 u like ur relationship is past the point of no return, but w/ God’s hlp, im positive u cn get things wrked out. & believe me, if u do, it will make things seem sooooo much better!!!!! honestly, the times when im most depressed r the times after i fight w/ my parents. try 2 find a time when neither of u r busy, u gyz rnt fighting, & when u 2 cn b alone. mayb u could try 2 talk it out then. trust me, things will seem so much better if ur moms on ur side. it wont take all the probs away, but it will hlp.
theres so much i wnt 2 say 2 u!!!!! i wish we could like go out 4 lunch or something & chat, b/c theres only so much we cn say on the prayer board. oh well. hopefully what i tell u on here r the main things God wnts me 2 tell u.
a few more tips: as far as music goes, fireflight has gr8 lyrics!! their lyrics give me hope in the hard times. check out “forever”, “you gave me a promise”, “brand new day”, and “stand up”, all by fireflight. all of those are on youtube, and they should be on itunes too. (i don’t have an ipod, which is sad, but i’m assuming you do...??)
& the best thing u can do is: pray, pray, pray!!!!! cry out 2 God, yell @ Him, beg Him 2 reveal Himself 2 u. it might not happen right away, but if u rly wnt it 2, it will!!!!! spend time w/ God, & get 2 know Him [again] by reading the Bible, talking 2 Him, & listening 4/2 His voice. He WILL show Himself 2 u!! He WILL take away the pain, shelby!!!!! all u hv 2 do is ask Him, & trust in Him.
try ur hardest not 2 think about the guy. try ur hardest 2 think about God instead. i know, i know, i totally know, it sounds impossible, but plz, @ least try, ok??
i luv u so much, shelby!!!!! i know ive never evn met u b4, but my <3 just breaks 4 u. i wish i could just give u a big hug & let u cry on my shoulder. but since we cnt do that, cry on ur friends’ shoulders, & most importantly, God’s. He loves u more than u’ll evr know, shelby!!!!! i know u’ve probably heard that a thousand times, but plz believe me when i say its true, b/c ive xperienced it myself!!
finally, check out romans 8:38-39. this is my life verse!! it gives me so much hope when i read it. if u already know it, then try 2 think about it some more. i’ll try 2 find some more verses that i cn recommend 2 u.
u r continually in my prayers, shelby!!!!! plz think about all the stuff ive said. i know it’s a lot, but i think – i rly hope – that it will hlp.
luv,
ur sister in Jesus Christ,
eliza<3
ps. sry it took me so long 2 get back 2 u...:)

My sister isnt a christan and she is about to graduate from high skol!! Her dad isnt a chritsan and I love my sister so much and dont get to see her often enough. So please pray for my sister Angelica Beacause she is my hero and I love VERY VERY VERRRY MUCH!
Posted by Carmen | February 4, 2010 9:49 AM
so i just found out yesterday that 1 of my best friends is in the ICU (intensive care unit in the hospital). the doctors rnt sure whats wrong w/ him. they think he might hv a certain disease, & they tried 2 treat him 4 it, but then his blood pressure dropped & they couldnt any more. if he does hv this disease, then they need 2 treat him asap or it could affect his arteries, lungs, & heart 4 the rest of his life. if he doesnt hv it, then they dont know whats wrong w/ him & he'll probably die. im rly rly rly rly rly scared rite now - i cried myself 2 sleep last nite, & hv been crying on & off all day. i dont know what i'll do if he dies!!!!! plz pray 4 clear direction 4 the doctors, 4 healing 2 begin in his body, 4 his body 2 b receptive 2 treatment, & 4 strength & spiritual fruit 4 him, 4 his family, 4 the doctors, & 4 all his close friends (including me). also plz pray that we cn all trust in God. we'll all b devastated if He takes him, but if its His will, then i guess i’ll hv 2 deal w/ it...
thank u all so much. this is rly rly rly rly rly hard 4 me, & its nice 2 know that there r ppl in this world who r praying.
ps. shelby, I hv some other stuff I wnt 2 tell u, but rite now im just 2 scared & shocked 4 it. im rly sry. I hope u understand…

I just want you to pray that my life gets a little easier and ask god to pour his holy blood on me. There is a lot of drama in my school. There is even a bully in my class who bothers me and my mom handled it but she still bothers me. I'm going through a lot of stages in my life right now and I hope that it is natural and not embrassing. I'm soon going to hit that age where I will have my period and I'm kind of scared. I just really hope my life starts getting easier and fun. With less drama. Thank you and God bless!!!!!!!!!!!!
