Father God, I feel I am constantly bullied by my adopted daughter, and instead of sticking up to her, I allow it. I am not a person who likes to cause anyone any trouble, I understand, that in one way, if she controls me I will not leave her. She is now married with children of her own, and I feel that she needs to trust You in all aspects of her life, but I think she blames You sometimes, for her initial rejection.
Lord teach me how to pray, so that she may grow in Your likeness.
Amen
Husband Has Cancer
Please pray for my husband. He has been undergoing radiation treatments for prostate cancer. He has developed some infection and cannot receive his daily radiation treatment. He is in terrible pain. We are not worried, God is in control! I would like for you all to pray that God's will be done and His name be glorified.
Thank you so much. Our "tour of duty" in the Mission Service Corp will be over in Oct. Please pray that we will follow our Lord in whatever or wherever He sends us.

Agreement For My New Likeness
God has made known to me as a new creature all things are new. The areas of my life I am not excellent in or at least better in like: maintaining my home, being more on-time, managing my 7 month old and 14 year old sister, and finances.
At 20 years old I have much on my plate, but I know that in Christ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am being trained as a Woman of God and Praise God for Jesus - I am not expected to do anything without Him. But I ask that you pray in agreement for God to take my needs and bless me and use me for His Good and perfect Will. That even my hindrances (including self) become a stepping stone in my Life.
Thank you and Praise God.
Daughter Needs Encouragement and Protection
We are missionaries in Brazil and have three college agers in the US (one at home). My 19 year old daughter is selling books door-to-door this summer in a strange city by herself (with a reputable company). She knows the Lord but she has not walked closely with him in the past years. I'm asking prayer that she will seek Him in this challenging job with long hours and that He will protect her and bless her so that she knows she can trust and walk with the Lord in a personal way. God is able. Thank you.
Financial Help
Please pray that my mom is understanding and will be open to helping me financially with some dental work I need done. I have to ask her to help me and pray she will be open and willing and soft-hearted about it. I will make payments evey month to pay her back and am very nervous about asking for her help.
Thank you so much for you prayers.
Thank you so much for you prayers.
Prayer for Me and My Children
The father of my children is very abusive verbally and physically to us. We want the Lord to help and rescue us. We need relief from the terrible situation we are in.
Thank you for praying an immediate prayer of help for us.
Amen
Thank you for praying an immediate prayer of help for us.

Power of Prayer
Father, I find it difficult that in my church, not many people are interested in prayer or Bible study. I ask that you will give me the right attitude, the right words, to encourage people to attend the ladies quiet day on the power of prayer. I ask that all those who attend will have their eyes and ears opened to draw nearer to yourself. We pray for the Rev Elizabeth as she leads this day on 1 July 2006.
Amen
Amen
Reconciliation
Please continue to pray for a full reconciliation between my ex-fiancée and I. When we have topics to discuss about past hurts, let it be a tool for our healing and learning, not a tool that will divide us. Please continue to pray that we each keep our relationship and each other a priority, that we accept each other and have fun with each other and rejoice in all the wonderful things about each other and our relationship together.
I thank you for your prayers for our full reconciliation with each other and can plan our life together too.
Thank you.

A place for the children
Dear Friends,
Hurricane Katrina destroyed our wonderful childcare center in Carriere Mississippi. God has laid it on our hearts to build a new center, but we are unable to find a place to do this. Please pray for us as we continue to look for the right place. We thought we had the "perfect spot" and because the appraisal was less than the asking price we were unable to meet the financial down payment part. We did make an offer and the seller did not agree to it yet. We are just praying for him to have a change of heart and sell it to us but we have given this all to GOD because our mission is to fulfill God's plans in our lives. We want the chance to pray with the children and teach them and mostly to plant those seeds in their little lives. We also want the chance to help parents in any way we can. Please please pray for us.
Love to all,

Stepping Out Into the Wilderness
My husband and I are stepping out in faith to do a ministry that the Lord has laid on our hearts. It is a work that began 6 years ago that we have done in tandem with a bi-vocational church. Now it is time to step out to do the ministry full time. No safety nets of a part-time salary or pastorium. We are presently seeking God's guidance for housing. That is the step that looms before us. We also need land for the ministry. Please pray that the Lord will show us where to lodge. My husband and I want God to receive all glory in this ministry. That there will be no doubt of His leadig and that it will be witness to many that watch.
Prayer for my daughter, Stephanie
My husband and I have been missionaries in Mexico for almost 32 years. Many think you give up a lot to be a missionary, but I can truthfully say, the only hard time I´ve had was when my children moved away. We have two (boy and girl) and both are married and live in the U.S.A.
One of the times it is hard to be far away is when they have health issues. Our daughter, Stephanie, was rushed to the hospital almost two months ago with loss of balance, a blinding headache, and nausea. A cat scan revealed a large cyst in the back of her head. An MRI showed it is an arachnoid cyst and it covers the entire back of her brain. We believe God still works miracles and we have been asking Him to shrink it or make it disappear. She has been under the care of a neurologist and neurosurgeon and last week another MRI was performed. She will see the neurosurgeon this Monday (May 1) to find out the results.
We request your prayers for Stephanie. She is a wife and mother of our first grandchild.

Prayer for my daughter
Please pray today for my daughter who is being judged on flute and voice in her jury performance at her college today. She is anxious and seems to have forgotten that God is with her (although I know that this is not true). Her success will help her with scholarships and give her the confidence that she needs since she is away from a mother that has always been there physically at each event. She is a college freshman.
I know that so many people have more serious issues but I think we should always go to God in whatever circumstance. Therefore I really appreciate your combined prayers now and at 1:30 EST today. The prayers of the righteous availeth much.
Thank you.

Update: I Need A Miracle From God
Original Prayer Request
Praise God!!
My sinus infection has cleared up and my ears are open for the first time since December 05.
There has been a miracle in my body and God did answer the prayer to my finances. Sometimes no answer is an answer. I thought that I would be in dire straits if I did not have a certain amount of money by Monday. The miracle was I did not get the money and everything is fine. I feel that God's answer to me was "Fear not I am in control" and that's exactly how my life is going. God is in control and directing my path.
I thank God for your website. You don't know what it means for someone to have a place to go where there is someone who wants to pray for them.
Be Blessed In Jesus Name!

Lonna
Doctors say she needs surgery for scar tissue wrapping around her intestines causing blockages. Much, much pain, sees doctor Thursday at 10 am. I know God is able to heal this without her having to have surgery again. She had to have her entire colon removed 6 years ago due to crones disease. Please pray for her healing.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let Go and Let You
Father,
You know everything about Gill, her heart, her dreams, but I feel she is in bondage over so many things, fear of her children not loving her and not being able to let go, I ask that she will be able to trust you.
I pray for Mark who has had very little religious teaching and now attends church and is about to become a member, I ask that he will take this seriously, he will show commitment and ask that your will will be done.
Amen
My Dad Will Be Having Surgery
My Dad, Jerry, will be having surgery to redo the arteries in his legs on Monday, April 24. He just had surgery on the carotoid arteries in his neck 1 1/2 weeks ago. They say he may be in ICS and on a ventilator for a few days. My Dad does not respond to surgeries well. Please pray that he will nail down his salvation before going into surgery and that God will lead, guide, and direct the surgeons during this operation.
Also, pray for my brother who is lost and gets very upset with anyone who even tries to witness to him. I feel he has closed the door on God. Pray for my children that they will return to the foot of the cross and look to God for guidance and direction in their lives and the lives of their families.
God bless each of you.

Your Presence & Prayers Touched My Life
I just wanted to let you know that I have been blessed by the women in this organization. Friday March 31st, I was in a car accident in Chattanooga, TN. The ladies in this group prayed for me and my unborn baby while I waited for the ambulance to arrive. Your presence and prayers eased my nerves and touched my life. Thank you so much for being there for me-even though I am a complete stranger to you. I was released from the hospital early the following morning, I am completely fine and my baby is also safe and unharmed.
Thanks Again,

Our Son's Fiance. . . Motorcycle Accident
Last May our son's fiance was killed in a motorcycle accident in Bowling Green, KY. Naturally we went up and stayed with him to comfort him. She was very beloved by our family. His friends and church enveloped us with love and we fell in love with them and the area.
We found a farm up there and bought it....all with much prayer and consideration from all. We asked God to allow it if that is where He wanted us and where we could be of utmost service to Him. We live in the Katrina struck part of MS. and we have to fix our house up and sell it before we can move up. The payments on both places is stressing out my husband.
Thank goodness we have the farm bacause that is where we went during Katrina. I felt all the more in my spirit that it was meant to be. Bottom line, please keep praying with us that God would lead our steps to do what we need to do so we can sell this place and be where He wants us. There are so many people down here that need homes. It is hard at this point in time to remember on a daily basis that God is directing our path when there is so much to do to the house. It seems overwhelming at times.
I know God does things on His timetable, not mine but I firmly believe He was guiding us when we got them farm. There were so many confirmations, "Godcidences", I call them that. I know we are not to waver in our faith. I ask Him to guide our steps everyday. It is hard sometimes when there is so much to do!
I believe there is a family out there waiting for this home so they can "come home". Please just pray with me that if we keep putting one foot in front of the other and doing what we are supposed to do......it will all work to His glory!!!!
Thank you,
MJ

The Enemy Set Up A Huge Temptaion
Dear Friends, Thank you that I can come and get some encouragement. First of all my husband and I have 7 precious children. Two in heaven and 5 here on earth, Ages 11, 14, 27 29 30 and 33. We had such a fun time when the older ones were at home. They are all Christians. The world has attacked the ones that have left the home and are married. We are a praying momma and daddy and even though it looks like the enemy is winning we will not give up.
The question that I have I will explain at the end of my explaining. 3 1/2 years ago our youngest son's wife was taken captive by the enemy. We realize the battle and have not given up on praying for her. 2 weeks before the enemy set up a huge temptaion she and I were getting close. She wrote an email that was talking about the love for her and our son's two children and her love for our son. At the time she and her momma were going and working out. Her mother was having an affair and got her daughter into one also. Our daughter in law put on a whole different personality and starting living in a very weird way. Our son sat at home waiting for her to come home at night after she would be out at bars. We do know that this is a huge spritual battle that we are fighting in prayer on behalf ouf our precious daught in law. We love her and pray for her return. It looks impossible, but the Lord has given us unreserved love for her.
Anyway in the process our son has gotten lots of council from some of his Christian friends that even though they are not divorced that he can date other women until their divorce goes final. She has decided to divorce our son but has to use the insurance for a time.
The question we have is. Our son is still married in our eyes. Even if he is waiting for a divorce that she is getting it has not happened yet. We were having my husband's birthday and our son wanted to bring his girlfriend to the party. He still has two sisters that are younger and then we also have 7 grandchildren who are under the age of 7. Two of them being his that would also be watching at the birthday party. We asked him to please not bring her and he got upset and didn't show up. The girlfriend has just come to Christ and doesn't understand the gospels as of yet. Talk about a soap opera. Anyway. What do you all think.
Our daughters are having a real hard time and still pray faithfully for the wife's freedom to beable to do right. It is very hard for them. Any encouragement would be helpful. We have explained to our son the reason's for our stand and scripture that we stand on. He understands that, but just disagrees with us.
His church is big and doesn't know what his situation is. He brings his girlfriend to church and 2 weeks ago she got baptised. We have not talked with her giving our son time to let her know what we believe. She has a little girls also that is 3. Talk about one of the hardest things we have gone through. thank you so much for your help.

How Can I Encourage A Discouraged Leader?
How can I encourage someone who has lost confidence in serving others? She has lead women for many years but now wants to back out...and she's only in her early thirties. Burn out is common for everybody...but how can I help her? (I need more than an empty platitude).
Because my friend may step down from leadership (because of her discouragement).....her job may fall to me. And I don't have a problem saying I'm a little nervous. Isn't being a leader really scary?
Thanks for the reminder (Tammie's Blog Series "Who Am I") that God is with me and has the experience/knowledge that I don't.

Satan Attacking In The Work Place
I have decided that since Satan seems to be attacking me in the work place that I will not sit by and wait for him to come to me. I decided that I will start to show up for work earlier than usual and start a devotion and prayer time right here where I am at. It is my prayer that through my prayer time that others here at work will join me in my quest for a Christian work place. I know that even though I am already being attacked by Satan that the attacks will only become stronger on me and those that decided to join with me in prayer. Because of this I come to you, my sisters in Christ, to ask for your prayer for me and my co-workers. I know that the power of God is able to sustain me. God has a plan for me here and I will not let Satan overcome what God has planned. This time will be tough but I know that through me God can do wonderful things. I praise God that he has been patient with me to catch on to his plan for me here at my work place. I give him all the glory, now for what he is going to accomplish.
Please Pray with me Sisters…
Lord God, I come to you and thank you for your love and your kindness, your compassion and your mercy. Father I ask that you be with me here at my work place and strengthen me to do what you have called me to do. Help me Father to know how to pray for those here, how to minister through your word and your love. Father help me to show Jesus to all those that surround me. Father, I pray that when Satan’s attacks come that you strengthen me to overcome what ever he throws at me. Help me, through your word to resist his temptations. Father, I ask right now that you forgive me of my sins and short comings, help me to live the light that you have given to me. Father, help me to let that light so shine that others will see my good works and glorify you. Father, I love you and I praise you, In Jesus Holy and Precious Name, AMEN.

How Could I Ever Want To Leave This?
I am presently working in a wonderful job and it offers more than most women would ever ask for. Job security, excellent Christian atmosphere, wonderful supportive people to work with, a sense of accomplishment most days, confidentiality and trust, even a decent pay scale and good hours. How could I ever want to leave this? I don't know but I feel this door closing after 18 years and I really am ready to move on to something else.
I have always known my spiritual gifts are in ministering and service to others. Older people, perhaps. Shut-ins in my neighborhood. Please pray that God will lead me to make the right decision about leaving and also where does He want me to go.
This morning I read Tracie's article and heard her say, "Put forth your hand" [Audio Devotional] before Jesus healed the man. Is God saying to me "Put forth your hand of faith? Step out and then I will bring you into the place I've prepared for you?"
Please pray that God will continue to reveal to me what He wants me to do, whether it is to stay in this ideal situation for awhile longer or complete the training of someone to take my place here so I can move on to the new ministry opportunities. Thank you for this opportunity to ask for prayer support and thank you for praying for me. I will wait to hear from you but I will also be searching for God's direction.
