I understand what you are saying, I would never like anyone that I wouldn't marry.
But since my friend told him that I didn't like him, with me there, I almost feel like I lied to him, if you know what I mean.

p.s. I did not tell her to tell him that I was joking.

Emilyrose - Have I got some good groups for you to raise money for! Are you ready?

Makarios is a non-profit I work with here in town that's totally legit and is doing good things in the Dominican Republic and Haiti - www.makariosinternational.org

Real Hope for Haiti is rescuing kids who are starving to death in Haiti and giving them back to their parents when they're better - http://haitirescuecenter.wordpress.com/

Heartline Ministries is doing some amazing work with people suffering in Haiti - http://heartlineministries.org/default.aspx

There are a million more, but these are good starters...maybe I should blog about the ones who are really getting the job done out there.

God bless you as you try to bless others!!

Hey! I don't really have a prayer request. I just want to raise money for a good cause but I don't have any idea what I would raise money for or how I would do it. I'm in the mood for giving and I feel like God is really calling me to give because he has blessed me with so much. If anyone has any ideas that would be great! Thanks!! :)

My parents have been seperated since I was like 2 years old, and I don't have a really good relationship with my dad...I feel alone sometimes and hurt when I go months without hearing from him and I feel like I'm not wanted...I just need prayer so that maybe one day he will open his eyes and see what he has been missing...and I have a hard time accepting who I am and I constantly beat myself up for who I am and everything within...I just need help to understand that I'm this way for a reason and that is for God to know and for me to find out... :/

maddie-
y dont u just be his friend. then u can see if u really like him or not.

to everyone- dating ends in two ways, eather u get married or u break up. so save dating til ur older. and dating is ment for getting married. so if u cant see urself getting married with a person u like dont get involved.

My friend found out about the boy I liked and told him, but later she told him that she was joking. I didn't want want him to find out in that way, I think that's kind of shallow, but I don't want him to think I don't like him. Do you think I should tell him how I feel, or any other advise? Since it never hurts, and it always helps, I would love some prayer.

Phil. 4:8-

Kima-
I am praying for you and your dad! Just remember that God is with you through everything- even this. :)
EmilyRose

Please pray that Jesus would make me the girl of God that I desire to be... that I need to be! Also, an unspoken prayer for my BFF.

Hi-lo! I want to pray for my dad, for he has a kidney disease. I really love him, and i would just hate seeing him go! He's been there since i was like a little girl. GOD sent me the greatest dad in history! So , I just him to be there in the future, and enjoy the rest of the world.

Pray for two of my friends. They're really into the whole dating thing. Pray that they'll realize only God can fill that void. And that God will supply that special guy in thier lives - as long as they put their trust in Him.

Please pray for my friend joe who was just hit by a car, he is in critical condition and can really use the prayers. thank you all so much!

Chloe-
God has already forgiven u but u have to learn to forgive urself too. i know how this feels but u have to relize that Jesus died so that u could be forgiven and u shouldnt have to live with this guilt. let it all go and give it up to God.

ShelbyLynn-
sup? I know exactly wat u mean! when I was only 14 I had the same issue! the biggest thing that helped me was talking to my small group leader at my youth. she had gone through the same things. she told me to pray and have bible times every day. that REALLY helped me. hope I helped!
love u all!

I guess I'm mostly just doing this to vent but I could use some prayer. I just can't seem to do anything right lately and i'm a nerd and I feel like nobody wants anything to do with me besides my bff and even she doesn't understand how I feel. she was always popular. i've always been a strong Christian and I love Jesus more than I can say. I also realize that he made me like I am for a reason. I just wish that I wasn't such a nerd. I don't want to talk to my mom about how I feel because she'll just make a big deal out of it. just need some advice I guess.

Hello everyone,
thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you will take a minute just to say a quick prayer for my family about this.

My older half sister is 27 and is 9 months and 1 week pregnant. Her due date was July third, and now it is the 12th and she still hasn't delivered yet. She isn't married, but is living with her boyfriend and the father of the baby. Please pray that the delivery will go well and that the Spirit will grab at her heart and let her know that she needs Him in her life and that she can't do it on her own.
Thank you so much.
& have a blessed day.
-Katelyn

He everyone,
This is gonna be a short prayer request, but i still wanna post it.
Anyways what i would like to put out here is that i have a problem making god the lord of my life. The only thing i make lord of my life are guys. I know this is wrong, but i just find comfort and peace in them. I am only 13. I just let them control me, and i dont even care. but thats my prayer request...

Love,
Shelbylynn

In my past, i would get away with lies a lot. I would lie about big and little things to both my friends and parents...i prayed and asked God for forgiveness and i have stopped the habit of lying but i still feel the guilt from lying in my past...am i supposed to talk to someone about this? or is it just satan trying to make me think that God hasnt forgivin me yet? I dont know what to do! someone please help me!

Star:
I use to be adicted to pornography, and I'm kind of having trouble with leting my guilt go. I think God might want me to talk about this with someone, I've almost done that, I emailed her, but when she was talked to me in person, I kind of froze up. I am not the type of person who is really open with these things, and I want to get rid of this isue, but I am so sacred to talk to her, what do you think I should do? Please pray for me.

please pray for my dads recovery. he went into emergency surgry today cuz of gullstones. and they had to take it out. surgry lasted a few hours and i was really worried but its done now. he has to stay in the hospital tonight, but he'll be ok. thanks

Hey,

This one is for shelby and anyone else who wrote something similar to her. I know its hard to have the empy feeling inside that you just cant seem to fill. The world will tell you the only way to fill it is by being selfish through: money,sex, attention exc. God will tell you it can only be filled by him. I have a wonderful boyfriend and yet i still sometimes am filled with an intense lonliness that he cant fix. This usually happens when i havent been reading my bible for sometime. When your worried, pray about it and sit down and start going through your bible. As you draw closer to God he will draw closer to you. God loves you very much shelby and he wnats you to depend on him. If you have someone you can talk to, i encourage you to do that.

I hope I helped, im praying for you

I want to pray for the people in the world who haven't accepted Jesus Christ into their heart. I know that it may be a little hard to belive that he makes things the way he does. We need to trust his ways and be thankful for the things we have... Just like my favorite verse says..... "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall lead your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Amy-
What's up? Don't say that you hate yourself. God loves you and he made you the way you are because he will use you for great things. We all mess up and make mistakes but we need to pull ourselves together, get back up and move on. Maybe you will be a speaker for Christian events or maybe you will lead someone to know Christ because you just started having a conversation with them about Jesus's love. I know that it's easy to sit here and tell you all this but it's true. My bff went through the same thing. Love ya lots!

I just want to pray that Jesus makes me the strong woman of God that I desire to be. This has really been hard for me cause I live with my dad and brother and my mom died when i was young so i don't have a Godly woman who loves me and i can pray with about things like this. I miss my mom soooo much and especially right now since i really need her for all the "girly" things i'm going through. For about the last year i cry myself to sleep at night wishing she was here with me and a lot of times i just don't know what to do. I feel soooo alone... Please pray for me that Jesus will help me! Thank you!

Hey everyone,
umm i dont know where to start so here goes nothing.
Okay so i have been having a heck of a time in life right now, and i would like to ask for prayer please.

So since fourth grade i've done everything i can to get guys attention..i just crave it so much. And now that im 13 and stuff more guys talk to me and im just kind of worried something bad might happen.

Then me and the rents keep fighting, and most of the time i don't even know why. When i was younger I had problems in life (who hasnt lol) and i wanted to talk to my parents, but they were always so busy with work and life that i would just have to figure stuff out on my own. and so know im 13 and have big life changing problems and decisions to work out and i have to do it alone, cause that's how i taught myself to do it.

Then here are some other things i have done:
I have popped pills,starved myself,cut myself,made myself puke (you know like after the meal),gotten high just stuff like that. and im sure there's more to come. I just hate myself, i just wanna escape so bad to some better place.

I truthfully hate doing this telling everyone what's going and stuff, but i just dont know what to do anymore. I cry myself to sleep, because of stupid life.

Guys are my biggest problem, and always have been. I crave that affection and attention from them so badly that i do anything to get it. I don't know why i do i just want it so bad, and cant get that craving filled.

And yes i do push my parents out of my life and stuff, but they just make me mad. Yet their youth pastors, and the annoying thing is they give those kids attention but i just cant get it.

And yes i have tried god i tried really hard it just didn't work out to well.

I just would like if you could pray for me. maybe things would get better ..... including myself.

Tonight at youth my youth leader said a really cool verse. It's 2 Corinthians 5:7. It goes like this: For we live by believing and not by seeing. It's a short verse but there is so much truth in it. A bungee jumper is someone who jumps off of a structure with a cord tied to thier feet and the building. A base jumper is someone who jumps off of a structure with only a parachute and they need to trust that it will open at the right time. Christianity is kind of like base jumping. You can't see God so you just have to trust that he will lead you in the rift direction and take care of you. God wants to use you for great things. If you are on the verge of something God wants you to do, go ahead and jump.

dear friends. could you please pray for me. there's just stuff, life i guess. not that easy. frustratin situations and i have a hard time accepting myself as i am and also accepting others. i have a HUGE talkin problem, and i talk and talk the day away. i feel so aweful at night! i just hate myself

and could you please pray for my friend, Mandy. i guy wants to get physical w/ her and seh don't know what to do. her parents dont really like th guy but she feels like loves him. will you pray that God will make his ways known to her? thanks.

girls, i'm glad i found you. i love you all, and i pray for you all a lot. you are dear to me. take care! take up the cross and fight for our King.

An awesome website I would recommend is www.youversion.com. It is a christian website designed for people of all ages and of all stages in their walk with Christ. There are different Bible plans you can choose from to help you stay connected with God and grow in your faith. Right now I am doing the one2one plan and it has really helped me to become a better Christian. Try it out! :)
Love ya!-EmilyRose

My dad has been of work for about a year now. My family and I continue to hope and pray to God he will get a job soon. When he is off work, especially for long periods of time it's really hard because everyone is always worrying about the money.

Lexi,
I am homeschooled because I had a not so good elementry school, my parents saw that and didn't want me going there.
Mabye if you tell your parents what is going on there, and that it is compromising your walk with God they might home school you. Some people think homeschooling is hard, it's not, if you take this issue to your parents, offer to start homeschooling early, before the year starts, so they can decide later if they are ok with homeschooling, mabye they wiil homeschool, but say I might notbe happy with what you chose but I will respect what ever you do chose, and do it!
If they are conserned about teaching you, there are so many porgrams you can do, this year I am doing classical conversation, and my math has a christian
that teachers you on a cd that you buy.

If your parents think it's to hard just say I can respect you not wanting to do it, but I don't think it will be hard, please give it a try, I will respect if you don't want to do it then, but would you please just try it, before school starts
