Miracles:
Accidents Children Healing Maryah's Story Miscellaneous Salvation Weather If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
Charles Spurgeon
(1834-1892) We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God -- ah, then things must be critical indeed!
A. J. Gossip
(1873-1954) Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you. Just as a mother understands the first lispings of her infant, so does the blessed Saviour understand sinners. He can read a sigh, and see a meaning in a groan.
J. C. Ryle
(1816-1900) He that seeks God in everything is sure to find God in everything. When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself. This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven. And this we may be sure is not only necessary, but attainable by us, or our Savior would not have made it a part of our daily prayer.
William Law
(1686-1761) The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.
St. Teresa
(1515-1582) God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, "I love you."
Billy Graham
Suppose Christianity is not a religion but a way of life, a falling in love with God, and, through Him, a falling in love with our fellows. Of course, such a way is hard and costly, but it is also joyous and rewarding even in the here-and-now. People who follow that Way know beyond all possible argument that they are in harmony with the purpose of God, that Christ is with them and in them as they set about His work in our disordered world. If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.
J. B. Phillips
(1906-1982), When God Was Man [1954] There never was a pain that befell a man, no frustration or discouragement, however insignificant, that, transferred to God, did not affect God endlessly more than man, and was not infinitely more contrary to Him. So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.
Meister Eckhart
(1260?-1327?), Works of Meister Eckhart [1952; reprint 1997] After Calvary, God has the right to be trusted; to be believed that He means what He says; and that His love is dependable.
A. J. Gossip
(1873-1954), In the Secret Place of the Most High [1947] Be persuaded, timid soul, that He has loved you too much to cease loving you.
François Fénelon
(1651-1715) Where, then, does happiness lie? In forgetfulness, not indulgence, of the self. In escape from sensual appetites, not in their satisfaction. We live in a dark, self-enclosed prison, which is all we see or know if our glance is fixed ever downward. To lift it upward, becoming aware of the wide, luminous universe outside -- this alone is happiness. At its highest level, such happiness is the ecstasy that mystics have inadequately described. At more humdrum levels, it is human love; the delights and beauties of our dear earth, its colors and shapes and sounds; the enchantment of understanding and laughing, and all other exercise of such faculties as we possess; the marvel of the meaning of everything, fitfully glimpsed, inadequately expounded, but ever present.
Malcolm Muggeridge
(1903-1990), Jesus Rediscovered [1969] Let the seeking man reach a place where life and lips join to say continually, "Be thou exalted," and a thousand minor problems will be solved at once. His Christian life ceases to be the complicated thing it had been before and becomes the very essence of simplicity.
. W. Tozer
(1897-1963), The Pursuit of God [1948] It is a Gospel to men who are without God, sinful, bewildered, anxious, discouraged, self-sufficient and proud yet destroying themselves and others, caught in a desperate plight from which they cannot extricate themselves. The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost," and as being "without hope in the world.".. And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.
Lewis J. Sherrill,
Lift Up Your Eyes [1949] A life devoted unto God, looking wholly unto Him in all our actions, and doing all things suitably to His glory, is so far from being dull and uncomfortable, that it creates new comforts in everything that we do.
William Law
(1686-1761) What then are we afraid of? Can we have too much of God? Is it a misfortune to be freed from the heavy yoke of the world, and to bear the light burden of Jesus Christ? Do we fear to be too happy, too much delivered from ourselves, from the caprices of our pride, the violence of our passions, and the tyranny of this deceitful world?
François Fénelon
(1651-1715) Did you ever stop to ask what a yoke is really for? Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was easy. And what was the burden? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light."
Henry Drummond
(1851-1897), Pax Vobiscum To realize that you are safe and happy standing at God's side, with His love encompassing you because you are forgiven; too happy to take offense any more; too much in love with life to want to be made miserable with an unforgiving heart, and knowing that now every conflict is a chance to learn more of the exceeding beauty of Love: that is worth living for, and surely worth dying to this misery-making self for.
Florence Allshorn
(1887-1950), The Notebooks [1957] He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.
Thomas à Kempis
(1380-1471), Of the Imitation of Christ [1418] The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
St. Augustine
(354-430) Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
Martin Luther
(1483-1546) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
In the Old Testament, we find the idea that God enters into the sufferings of His people. "In all their afflictions, He was afflicted." (Isaiah 63:9) The relation of God to the woes of the world is not that of a mere spectator. The New Testament goes further, and says that God is love. But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof. The doctrine that Christ is the image of the unseen God means that God does not stand outside.
B. H. Streeter
When the time comes to enter the darkness in which we are naked and helpless and alone; in which we see the insufficiency of our greatest strength and the hollowness of our strongest virtues; in which we have nothing of our own to rely on, and nothing in our nature to support us, and nothing in the world to guide us or give us fight-then we find out whether or not we live by faith.
Thomas Merton
(1915-1968) Seeds of Contemplation [1949] The deceit, the lie of the devil consists of this, that he wishes to make man believe that he can live without God's Word. Thus he dangles before man's fantasy a kingdom of faith, of power, and of peace, into which only he can enter who consents to the temptations; and he conceals from men that he, as the devil, is the most unfortunate and unhappy of beings, since he is finally and eternally rejected by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
(1906-1945) The nominal Christian, then, will see Jesus as a name, a representative, a symbol, a personification, a prototype, a figure, a model, an exemplar for something else. The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.
Robert L. Short
(b. 1932) The Parables of Peanuts, pp. 172-173 [1968] In the Old Testament, we find the idea that God enters into the sufferings of His people. "In all their afflictions, He was afflicted." (Isa. 63:9) The relation of God to the woes of the world is not that of a mere spectator. The New Testament goes further, and says that God is love. But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof. The doctrine that Christ is the image of the unseen God means that God does not stand outside.
B. H. Streeter
Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in springtime.
Martin Luther
(1483-1546) Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul, May keep the path, but will not reach the goal; While he who walks in love may wander far, But God will bring him where the Blessed are.
Henry Van Dyke
(1852-1933) I have no reason to complain of any crosses, because they are the bitter fruit of my sin. Nothing shall hurt us but sin; and that shall not hurt us, if we can repent of it. And nothing can do us good but the love and favour of God in Christ; and that we shall have if we seek it in good earnest. Afflictions are God's potions, which we may sweeten by faith and prayer; but we often make them bitter, by putting into God's cup the ill ingredients of impatience and unbelief. There is no affliction so small but we shall sink under it, if God uphold us not: and there is no sin so great but we shall commit it, if God restrain us not. A man who hath the spirit of prayer hath more than if he hath all the world. And no man is in a bad condition, but he who hath a hard heart and cannot pray.
John Dod
(1549-1645) As quoted in The Lives of the Puritans, v. III, [1813] How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
George MacDonald
(1824-1905) Annals of a Quiet Neighborhood, ch. VII [1867] There is hardly ever a complete silence in our soul. God is whispering to us well-nigh incessantly. Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul, or sink low, then we hear these whisperings of God. He is always whispering to us, only we do not always hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes on.
Frederick W. Faber
(1814-1863) A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the trees of the garden and breathing fragrance over every scene. Always a living Person is present, speaking, pleading, loving, working, and manifesting himself whenever and wherever his people have the receptivity necessary to receive the manifestation.
A. W. Tozer
(1897-1963), The Pursuit of God [1948] Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature--either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.
C.S. Lewis
(1898-1963), Mere Christianity [1952] Our union with God--his presence with us, in which our aloneness is banished and the meaning and full purpose of human existence is realized--consists chiefly in a conversational relationship with God while we are each consistently and deeply engaged as his friend and colaborer in the affairs of the kingdom of the heavens.
Dallas Willard
(b. 1935), Hearing God [1999] We enter into the Mystery of the Holy Trinity not so much by thinking and imagining, as by loving. Thought and imagination soon reach the limits beyond which they cannot pass, and these limits still fall infinitely short of the reality of God. But love, overstepping all bounds and flying beyond limitations with the wings of God's own Spirit, penetrates into the very depths of the mystery and apprehends Him Whom our intelligence is unable to see.
Thomas Merton
(1915-1968) The Living Bread [1956; reprint 1980] Our union with God--his presence with us, in which our aloneness is banished and the meaning and full purpose of human existence is realized--consists chiefly in a conversational relationship with God while we are each consistently and deeply engaged as his friend and colaborer in the affairs of the kingdom of the heavens.
Dallas Willard
(b. 1935), Hearing God [1999] I think it must hurt the tender love of our Father when we press for reasons for His dealings with us, as though He were not Love, as though not He but another chose our inheritance for us, and as though what He chose to allow could be less than the very best and dearest that Love Eternal had to give.
Amy Carmichael
(1867-1951) [God] makes the universe and we applaud science. He heals the sick and we applaud medicine. He grants beauty and we credit Mother Nature. He gives us possessions and we salute human ingenuity.
Max Lucado
The Great House of God [2009] |
The next paragraph is an excerpt from an essay written by a young friend of Robert McNally Adams, the curator of
Christian Quotation of the Day. Adams said the young lady who wrote these words is: "... a great prayer warrior. She had cancer almost from birth, was treated, and survived. In the intervening years, she has had numerous surgeries and treatments due to that early disease. Now, when she is a young woman, the cancer has recurred and she is once again undergoing long months of illness and treatment. She wrote this essay to explain to her family and friends how she sees her own suffering and difficulties in the light of her relationship to the Lord. I think that you will agree that it exhibits a remarkable point of view on suffering and evil. Please join her family, her many friends, and me in prayer for her restoration to health and to the Lord's service."

I know there are many who have pitied my beginnings, thinking it tragic that I had to endure such traumas both as a child and throughout my life, but I confess that I have rather pitied those who have never tasted the bitterness of a trial "too severe." For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief. © Cammie Van Rooy, an essay [2002]. Used by permission. January 4, 2000 For a much loved Grandmother Hi, my name is Matthew, and I believe in miracles. My grandma is very sick with cancer. Her doctor says she will die from it. She was admitted into the emergency room on November 1, 1999. Her doctors did not expect her to make it through the weekend because the cancer had spread so rapidly. She made it through the weekend, then her doctor gave her two more weeks. He said she definitely would not live until Thanksgiving, and that she most certainly would not make it out of the hospital. Well, she made it through Thanksgiving, and made it out of the hospital. She is still very sick, can't get out of bed, can't walk, and doesn't feel like eating, but she is still fighting. I thought I would share this ongoing miracle, and ask everyone to continue praying for God's kindness and generosity. Thank you. January 5, 2000 For a mother struggling to raise her child in this modern world Praise to God: I am a single mother, who left a good paying job I had for ten years to home school my thirteen-year-old son. I do not receive any child support, so my decision was based entirely on faith. I did not know what I would do for an income, but the welfare of my child was more important to me then having financial success. I grew up with an alcoholic mother. Both my parents have passed on, and I'm estranged from the rest of my family. All I have is the Lord. I prayed for Him to guide me as to what to do, and I did find a job with a company that allowed me to work out of my home, using the Internet and my telephone; however, the money was not even close to what I had been making. My bills piled up, and they have repossessed my car. In November, 1999, the company I was working for let me go. With Christmas approaching, I had no money, no job, no income whatsoever, and very little food. I prayed to the Lord to show me the way. I was inspired to type up a Christmas story about having faith in the Lord-that Our Father will always be there for us, even if we don't know His plan, and that it's not the money we receive that makes us wealthy, but the wisdom that God grants us to have faith in Him, and to know that He loves us. The Lord led me to post the story on the Internet, and I had some caring people step forward and help us with our finances, so I was able to buy food and gifts for my son. I also donated some of the money to help feed the hungry,. Having been with so little food myself, the Lord reminded me that no one should go hungry. I have learned that we don't really need all of the comforts we have, but because we live in such a prosperous society we desire to have material objects. Who are we trying to impress? I still have no job, no income, no car, and the bill collectors are hounding me. I have some Christian friends who are trying to convince me to find employment outside of the home, and put my son back into the school system. I know the pain he would go through; he is in a situation that could lead to the devastation we have seen at other schools with the shootings. I pray to our Lord Jesus Christ. He understands my decision. My son is a blessing from God to me. I cannot turn my back on him. I know the Lord will guide me once again to what I need to do. Perhaps the Lord does not want me to have a job at this time, other then raising my son. We often forget the Lord's Prayer, in which Jesus says, Lord, "Thy will be done," and sometimes God's will for something is quite different from what our will for something is. Again one must have faith. Perhaps it is the telling of our miracles and our testimony to God that is what the Lord wants me to do, what we all should do, and give praise for all the wonderful things that God blesses us with and not get discouraged about the material things. If your car doesn't work or your house is always costing you money to repair ... remember God didn't tell you to get these things. You chose to have them. Perhaps we have become to lost in our possessions. So, with the turning of the new millennium, to outsiders it would appear that I have nothing-no job, no car, no home of my own-but to the Lord, I hope I have done justice to His name in telling people that I am truly rich indeed. For He has taught me that what is valuable cannot be purchased, but can be found within my own heart and soul. January 21, 2000 For Healing and Salvation I know of a man, Chuck, who suffers from cardiomyopathy. It is a condition where the heart muscle dies, and there is no cure except a transplant. Please pray that the Lord will provide a heart for this gentleman, and-even more importantly-that Chuck will come to know Jesus Christ as his Savior before it is too late. January 23, 2000 This prayer request came from a real prayer warrior. Although she suffers from severe asthma, and has arthritis in her back so severely that she is in a wheelchair, her afflictions do not stop her from pleading with God in others' behalf. In Jesus' name, shalom. Hello, all my brothers and sisters in Christ, I have been asked by Tim, a man who attends my local church, to put out a prayer request for his brother, Daniel. Daniel has been fighting cancer, and has had some odd kind of reaction to the chemotherapy. He is currently seriously ill in the hospital, and has been on a ventilator for some time now. The doctors do not know what is wrong, or what is happening. The whole family is very upset and worried. I would be grateful if you would pray for Daniel and the whole family, and also pass this request on to as many people as you can. We have all seen the power of prayer at work. February 18, 2000 For employment and for the healing of a beloved mother Please pray for the healing of my mother who has been diagnosed with colon cancer, and the movement of the Holy Spirit to grant me employment. February 21, 2000 For the healing of a six-year-old child Amanda is a six-year-old girl in Pennsylvania, the daughter of some very close friends of ours. A few weeks ago, her mother was giving her a hug and felt a lump on Amanda's back. An X-ray showed it to be some sort of growth, and later tests discovered it is a massive malignant tumor that has spread to all parts of her chest and abdomen. There are no organs that are untouched, and she has more tumors in her body than she has organs. As I write this, she has been hospitalized after a biopsy of the tumor, and her parents are waiting for the results of a bone marrow test. If her bone marrow is clean then they have a chance to save her with chemotherapy. If they find cancerous cells in her bone marrow then the only hope to save her life is a miracle. She is in no pain yet, and appears to be a perfectly healthy, beautiful little red-haired girl. She doesn't even know she is sick yet, and can't understand why she has to go to the doctor so often. I am asking for your prayers. April 4, 2000 For a broken family, and the salvation of a father and husband I need God Almighty to come into my husband's heart. He does not know Jesus as his Savior. He walked out on me and our three children (seven, four, and three-years-old) last October, and is pursuing a divorce that could possibly be final May 15. He says he is not willing to reconcile because he thinks I only want him for his income, so that I don't have to go to work and put the kids in day care. I have been a stay-at-home mom from the beginning, but, if the divorce goes through, I have to find a means to supplement the child support. I feel that our kids need me more now than ever. The last thing they need is for me to be gone forty hours a week while they're in a day care situation that they have never experienced. So I have started an embroidery business out of my home, and through God I got a big order from the staff of my daughter's school! I know God will take care of me and my kids, no doubt! But trying to convince my husband (who is extremely money hungry) that money has nothing to do with it, and that I want to go to counseling and work things out, is tough to get across to him. He doesn't see the damage this is doing to the kids, and he honestly believes that if they see him happy staying in one place and me happy staying in another that they too will be happy! But it is not that simple; besides, I am not happy staying here without him. I'm pretty sure there is not another woman. Frankly, I think this is a result of stress from a mid-life crisis! I figure if he comes to know the Lord then he will see divorce is not the answer, and not in God's plan. Money and materialistic things aren't the answers he is looking for either! Thank you. April 13, 2000 For a little girl with a brain injury My little girl ... my best friend ... on October 3, 1995, she and I were in a car accident. It was a rainy day, and we were going home. As we started up the hill to our home, I slid and hit a guardrail. Then I lost control, and the car went into the other lane. We were hit by a truck. My daughter was sitting in the back, in the middle, in a car seat. She went into a coma instantly. Paramedics called for a helicopter, but it wouldn't come due to the weather. They took her to the hospital, but did not expect her to even make it until she got there. After she was stable enough, they transferred her to the children's hospital in Cincinnati. She was on a vent for a month-and-a-half. She had zero percent brain activity, and they said she wouldn't live twenty-four hours. Thank God they were wrong! The doctors gave her a trac., and said she might have to always have it, but she had it for only two weeks ... they were wrong again, thank God. She also got a q-tube. She was in a coma for six months. After five months she started jerking, and we went to the hospital and found out she had brain activity. She does not have seizures, thank God! She did a lot of storming, and had high pressures on her brain. She has a shunt now. She went through a lot of testing in the hospital, including spinal taps. She was in the hospital for seventy-four days the first time. She has high muscle tone and, still to this day, it has been a problem for her to do things because of it. Her first word was on New Year's Eve, 1997 when she said: no. She has come a long way, and has a long way to go, and she is very frustrated. She now understands everything, although her brain activity is slower than the average six-year-old. She walks some in a walker, tells us when she has to go potty in her own words, and can tell us when she is hungry. We do get new words every once in a while. Again, the reason she cannot talk a lot is because of high tone even in her mouth and tongue, but she is a fighter. We are looking into new treatments (including hyperbaric oxygen therapy). God is healing our little girl, and we are very thankful. She is our life, and we wait on the Good Lord to complete her healing. She has been through so much. She's also had two hip surgeries because of high tone, and we are working on her tone with therapy and meds. Please pray for our little girl. God bless all. April 13, 2000 For a daughter's salvation I would like for you to pray for my daughter's salvation. She is seventeen-years-old, and she left home with my two-month-old granddaughter. They are living from house to house with a boy who might not be the father of this child. He is on drugs, but takes care of my granddaughter while my daughter is at work! Thank you for your prayers. April 14, 2000 Update! Praise The Lord! I want you to let everyone know that my daughter and my granddaughter are back home! Continue to keep her in your prayers because she needs to be delivered out of the hands of Satan. Thank you again for your prayers. My request is for God to heal my daughter and my relationship while she is back home. She will not let me or my husband touch our granddaughter. Thank you again for lifting my family up before the Lord. Praise The Lord. April 13, 2000 For a loving mother's heart disease and for the salvation of her family I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with cardiomyopathy. I am fifty-one-years old, with three grown children and two children still at home. Please pray that God will guide me in what I should do. The idea of a heart transplant does not feel right, but I must pray that God will let me know if this is what He wants me to do. And please pray for salvation for my family as well. Thank you and God Bless! A note to the writer of this request from the Web master: I am so sorry for the error! I tried to e-mail you and let you know I would update this, but I kept getting error messages. April 13, 2000 The writer of this e-mail has had one disappointment after another, and feels like "giving up." Please pray for his healing and that he will come to know the peace that passes all understanding! Mary is a lady I have known for several months, and I have never in my life felt so much love for anyone before. I just pray that we will get back together. I don't know if miracles happen ... perhaps they do. But I am asking for prayer for Mary and myself. I have never loved anyone as much as her, and I don't want to lose her. Please pray. April 13, 2000 For the healing of a wonderful Christian husband and father He is my husband of nine years, the father of our two sons (ages six and two), and we celebrated his thirty-eighth birthday today. Two years ago this month, he had a mole on his chest that had begun to itch. We had it removed immediately, and were stunned when the pathology report said melanoma. He had surgery to remove the residual area and nineteen lymph nodes. We received the all clear, and were soaring! We also decided to enroll in a melanoma vaccine program at Duke University two months later. That lasted four months. Since then, we've had routine chest X-rays and blood work, also all clear. So, you can imagine how stunned we were when, on October 4, we were told to return to the examining room after one of the routine X-rays was done. The oncologist at Duke called in a thoracic oncologist who told us he would need to operate four days later in order to biopsy a suspicious area. Friday, October 8, our world, as we know it, turned upside down. The lymph nodes contained melanoma that had metastasized to his chest area, at least, and possibly microscopically throughout his body. We were further challenged when an MRI of his head showed abnormalities. Most wives would agree that their husbands probably have some abnormalities too, but this was not what we wanted to hear. They've found multiple, but tiny tumors in his head. For those of you who don't know him-I want you to. He is the kind of man who regularly tells me I'm beautiful (even when I'm not!), he studies the Bible daily, and he loves to learn about the Lord. I was raised in the church, but as a young adult I had drifted away. I credit him with leading me back to the door, and giving me the choice to walk through or not. I met him in an elevator the week before I lost my mother to breast cancer ten years ago. He says God sent him to me to help get me through my mother's death. I have truly always believed that he is my precious gift. Our boys are his world. ... The way he seeks them out as he walks through the door. ... The way his eyes mist in pride over the oldest boy's accomplishments on the sports fields. ... One morning just this past week, when we were overcome with emotion, we looked down to see the youngest boy innocently being his usual crazy self! My husband threw his head back, laughing, and said, "Thank you, God, for that boy!" When I shared our news with family and friends, some of them were as overcome with grief and concern as we have been. My wish today is this: Please say a special prayer of healing for him that his body may be rid of this awful disease, and that he may find strength throughout what is sure to be an extremely difficult time. Tell your church, tell your friends, forward this to any and everyone you can. I apologize for taking up so much of your time, but ask yourselves ... what would you do in my shoes? He is the best part of me, and we really do need and appreciate your help. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. April 17, 2000 From the UK, for a loving married couple facing heart surgery on their silver anniversary I'm being admitted into the hospital on Tuesday, April 18, for a quintuple coronary heart bypass operation. We hope it will take place the next day, which just happens to be our twenty-fifth silver wedding anniversary! I ask for your prayers at this time, mostly for my wife who will be under a great strain. April 22, 2000 For the emotional healing of a sweet young lady My name is Jaime. I'm twenty-years-old, and have grown up believing wholeheartedly in the Lord. Lately, though, I feel like I can't take another step forward. Two years ago, my boyfriend died of cancer, and prayer after prayer brought me to believe that God has His own purpose for everything. All of this hope changed a year ago when I just could not get out of bed. I feel such loathing of the world: toward myself, life, and everything around me. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and I feel covered in a darkness. Medication does not seem to be helping. I do not want to give up my faith and hope in Jesus. Please pray for me to become the person I was and am meant to be. I feel like my purpose in life is being overshadowed and taken over by my thoughts of being taken from this world and letting go of this pain. Please pray for me. Update From the Web master: I heard back from this sweet young lady, and she is in counseling with someone she trusts. Please continue to pray for her and all those who are weak and in need of comforting. May 4, 2000 For the brokenhearted Please help me pray that my fiancé will open her precious heart and mind, and return her love to me soon. It has been five months since she left me, and my love still grows for her each day. Also, please pray that the man she is seeing will let go of her, and return to his love who is elsewhere. I feel this request will take a miracle. I ask for my prayers and request to be granted in the name of Jesus Christ. May 6, 2000 For financial blessing and the need for a wife I am in need of prayers to be released and granted today by God for the following things: for the agricultural claims to be paid today, for the Omega refunds to be paid today, for a financial blessing today, and for God to send me a mate (a wife). Thanks, and keep me in your prayers. May 11, 2000 For a daughter who has turned away from her Christian walk Please pray for our daughter who is a Christian, but not walking the Christian way. She comes to church with us every Sunday, but Saturday night she goes to the pub, and last week she had a guy sleep with her. It just made us sick. Please pray for her. June 28, 2000 For a daughter who has breast cancer Please pray for my daughter who has learned she has breast cancer. She dropped her insurance because of nonpayment of child support. She has a two-year-old and a twelve-year-old daughter. She is self-employed, and has no income if she does not work. She is alone in another state with no family members near by. Her cancer is very near many lymph nodes, which could be very bad. Pray that the cancer be as minimal as possible, and that God be with her before, during, and after her surgery. Thank you for your prayers. January 17, 2001 A grandmother asks for prayer for her little granddaughter, an accident victim Last Friday, about 12:30 p.m., my three-year-old granddaughter, Lauren, and her babysitter were on their way to do some shopping in a Ford Taurus. At an intersection, a large pickup with a Rhino Guard Bumper failed to yield right-of-way and ran a stop sign. The pickup hit the car. Lauren was buckled in her car seat in the middle of the back seat. The pickup hit the side of the car about the middle. We are not sure what caused the terrible injury to Lauren. She had no broken bones or other injuries, only severe head injuries. We have been told it was the Rhino Guard Bumper that hit her. She weighs about twenty-five pounds. She was rushed to Northwest Texas Hospital where they put the pieces of her little skull back together with metal pins. All the pieces were there. Some broken glass was also removed. A few hours later, as her brain began to swell, the doctors said that if they did not perform a craniotomy she would die, and if they did perform it she still might die, or surely not fully recover. She was rushed into surgery again, and it was performed. She has improved some, slowly. The first seventy-two hours were very difficult, with several trips for CAT scans in hopes of seeing how the brain was reacting. We have now stopped worrying about the brain so much, and are concentrating on the other vital organs. Her heartbeat is strong. Her lungs are filled with fluid, and they have diagnosed her with Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Some of the tissue in her lungs has hardened. They are doing respiratory work every two hours. Her kidneys were not functioning properly, but have improved. Her little face is swollen as tight as it can swell with both eyes swollen shut, and it is also starting to bruise. It is so hard to see her lying there with all of the tubes. We have some great doctors, and they have all been really good to talk to us and try to be compassionate. Her main doctor said today that we are maybe halfway through the worst part (I can't imagine what will happen next). But he also said today that we were not taking inches anymore, but maybe steps now. We think she can hear us when we talk to her. I read her a book tonight, and her blood pressure dropped two points (a good thing). It did go back up. I am taking a couple of her favorite books tomorrow to read to her. We came home tonight hoping to be able to get a good night's sleep. Of course, her parents can't leave the hospital, and neither would I. They sleep in Lauren's room. One of the nurses where her mother works took the baby, eight-months-old today, home with her. Please pray for Lauren and her doctors that she will have the strength to endure the treatment, and that her body will accept the medicines they prescribe. I hope to have a prayer chain going around the world with the help of the Internet. Her name has been given to a missionary in Africa, and they are praying for her there. Please send this request to anyone you know that will pray for us and the healing of our precious baby girl-Lauren. March 30, 2001 A loving friend asks for prayer on behalf of a beloved coworker A young coworker-actually another nurse that works in the ER with me-was diagnosed with breast cancer one year ago. She was doing well with the surgery and chemo, and all signs of the cancer had disappeared. At the beginning of the year she had abdominal pain, and they found a "spot" metastasis on her liver. She has had a rocky course, and was brought into our hospital yesterday with mental status changes. Within the past one month, the cancer has basically engulfed her liver, and she is in liver failure. Please pray for Sonja. She is one of the most caring, compassionate, and steadfast women I know. I realize that her church is also praying for her, as well as everyone at the hospital who knows her, but at this point the only thing that will help her is God's hand. Medicine is out of options. I have seen miracles happen with people throughout my years as a nurse, and believe in the power of prayer. Thank you for your intentions. May 14, 2001 For the healing of a little boy Please pray for a cure for autism, for the healing of all children with this illness, and my boy, Joey. June 30, 2001 For the resolution of a marriage crises Please pray for me! My fiancé wants to leave me because she has another boyfriend. I love her so much. I've known her for more than ten years. We're going to be married soon, but this time she fell in love with another guy. I really can't take this pressure. I really hope she will wake up and return to my side! I will forgive her even if she has been intimate with this guy. Please help me! One thing I have to share with you is that I'm a regular blood and platelet donor in Singapore. I even signed up for the bone marrow donor program just to help those in need. I've done so many good deeds, but in the end my fiancé ran away. I never blame him. I just blame myself. Please pray for me! Thank you. I hope the Holy Father will take me home! July 1, 2001 For God to be at the center of his life! Because of mistakes of mine, for which I am deeply sorry, my family and I are apart. Today was my daughter's sixth birthday. I, her father, cried hard. It is the first time I have missed her birthday. She misses me a lot, too. I know from her mother's updates. I pray daily for a restorative miracle to take me back a year or two like Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" with the lessons I have learned-or-for a restorative miracle in the present that will remove all the barriers to the reunification of our family. I am basically a good person who had a hard time admitting I have a problem, which I do admit to now. I ask that God be at the center of my life. July 12, 2001 "My Little Heart" This is a prayer request for my ten-month-old son. He has Hypo Plastic Left Heart Syndrome. He has already gone through two operations to fix his broken heart. Thank the Lord he has made it through. He has to have one more operation to fix him up. I have to thank all our friends and family for all the help, but mostly for their prayers. We know we would not have him with us now if not for prayer. If you could see him now, you would never think he has anything wrong. He is crawling around and getting into everything, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you, and God bless. July 17, 2001 For the healing of a beloved sister and comfort for a grieving family I have a prayer request for my thirty-two-year-old sister, Lisa. She was diagnosed with cancer recently, and the outlook is not good. My family has had some really rough times the last few years: We lost my brother to cancer, then my grandmother died from heart failure, then my dad passed away. We have also had miracles happen in our family. I had heart failure in the middle of nowhere, and there just happened to be trained medical help there, so I know miracles do happen-and I am begging God to help with this one. Please, please pray for my sister to go into remission! Thank you. October 15, 2001 From a "very, very brokenhearted mother." Please Pray! I desperately need a miracle for my daughter, a very holy Franciscan nun for many years who I adopted, then the devil got very, very angry and sent homosexuals. A lesbian wants to take my daughter/sister out of this state to marry her. They have brainwashed her completely against God and her Franciscan vows, and she now hates me, her own mother. They threw me out of the home I worked for many, many years to purchase, and threw out all my personal clothes and belongings in garbage bags. I have no family, and have prayed and prayed that God would remove them out of my daughter's life, and send her back home to me, her mother-but instead everything keeps getting worse and worse. My daughter hates me, and is killing me with her friends who are encouraging her homosexuality. I just don't want to live anymore. July 4, 2002 For the healing of minds and souls Queridos hermanos favor de orar por Jorge de Jesús y por Guillermo para que el Señor los declare sanos de su cerebro y todo su ser en el Nombre de Cristo Jesús. Amén. Dios les bendiga abundantemente. Beloved brothers and sisters, please pray for Jorge de Jesús and for Guillermo that God would heal their minds and their whole selves, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you abundantly. Note from the Web master: Thanks to Toña for the English translation. July 15, 2002 For an alcoholic and for his loving wife Please pray for Whitey and me. Whitey is a severe alcoholic. He needs to know God in order to face this illness, and put down the bottle forever. Please pray for me that I will be strong throughout this time prior to, during, and after his fall. Pray that he seeks continued lifetime help with AA. Whitey is in desperate need of recovery and knowing God, and I am in need of being firmer in my faith and trust in Him to handle this situation. I need never fear asking His guidance and seeking His grace to be in the right place at the right time, and can only hope that one day Whitey will tear down the walls of reinforced concrete that he's begun to so firmly erect between us since I sought help through Alanon. I firmly believe that God wants Whitey for his own purposes on earth here ... not for death due to alcoholism. Bless you all for your prayers to the Most High. July 18, 2002 For the disillusioned From the Web master: This is the first time I've ever posted a prayer request in this manner. I received a rather long e-mail dissertation regarding the insincerity of humanity as a whole. The two young men who wrote it were not requesting prayer, but seemed to be trying to convince me of something ... that everyone is a fake. But here's the deal: Man is not inherently good, contrary to modern psychology. Man is unimaginably vile. "The heart of man is desperately wicked harboring every evil imaginable. Man is perverted, with cursing and bitterness ... Ruin and misery are the chief products of man's life." (Dr. Jim Owen, Christian Psychology's War on God's Word) Man cannot change himself, nor heal himself, nor can he find peace without God. Life is meaningless without God, and that is programmed into every one of us, though we may ignore it, cover it up, or even run from it. How, then, do you find Him? Christianity sets itself apart from every other "religion" because in order to be saved-in order to "reach" a Holy God-we must acknowledge our utter inability as sinners to do so. Then we must believe God came to this earth in the form of an infant, Jesus Christ (and God walked among us), that Christ lived a sinless life, and that when He was crucified (which He suffered by choice), His blood sacrifice paid the ransom-the price-for our sins. You see, unlike the others, our "religion" doesn't reach up to God. When we were still sinners, haters of God, God reached down to us. Because He loves us; because He wanted to save us, because we cannot save ourselves. Eternal life ... a life beyond this Earth of death, sickness, decay, envy, gossip, murder, fake attitudes ... eternal life is as close as a whisper away. Life without hate ... the Holy Spirit of God Himself-God Almighty-is closer to you than your own breath. He is but a whisper away! August 19, 2002 For the severely injured! My name is Daniel, twenty-three-years-old, and I was injured in an unavoidable car accident on November 10, 2001, in Canada. I sustained a broken neck, C5 complete, leaving me permanently without the use of my fingers and legs due to one broken bone. February 28, 2003 For a little boy Please pray for my son, John. He is seven-years-old and needs to speak in a whole fluent language, and have the conversational and social skills of other children his age. April 24, 2003 For a mother's beloved child Please open your heart up to the many people in the world who are suffering from abuse, not even knowing that they are loved by God Himself. God asked us to have faith in His Son, so, Jesus, I am asking You to have faith in us, the ones who carry Your cross and find that the load was just too hard to bear. Please for my sake and the sake of my Glorious Father, please see how much love God has sown and how many rainbows He has produced. Please never condemn this world. Love from a loving mother and child of Her Father, The Light. P.S. Father, in truth-even though I am scared-let me carry the cross of Jesus, in Your name and the name of Love. Please call all my children Yours, Father, even if they are all messed up. September 14, 2004 For a family in Florida, as a hurricane bears down (during the rash of hurricanes in 2004) I live about thirty-two miles from Pensacola, and we are all watching what the storm will do. Please pray for the safety of the people here; there are many who live in mobile homes. Please pray that we will not lose our electrical power, because there are many elderly in this area who could not survive the heat. Also pray for my husband. He went to see his parents in Illinois, and must return later this week, and he is traveling by motorcycle. September 24, 2004 Good news-praise God! We just got power back today, so my computer has been a very expensive paperweight for a while. It took nine days for our electricity to come back. We are still waiting for trash pickup to resume. My husband made it home safely, and we had only a few shingles blow off the roof. The base where I work was badly damaged, so we are having to go to the other side of town, and I have been put on night shift for a while. That might be OK, since many of the roads were damaged and it may be easier to get around on a later shift. A family behind us had three trees go through their roof. There were several people who did lose their homes, and I think something like eight people died, but we are OK and so are my friends from church. Thanks for your prayers! December 13, 2004 For a beloved father-in-law I'm sending out a prayer request for my sixty-year-old father-in-law who has been given thirty days to live by his doctor, due to congestive heart failure. He's on home hospice right now, but I still get the feeling I should be praying for his healing, although most have resigned to his fate. He's in good spirits. I would sure appreciate prayers for him. Thanks so much. January 11, 2005 For safety, serenity, and happiness I pray for J.L. and T.H. to be together, and for T.H. to be safe, serene, and happy. Also, please pray they will get married. January 22, 2005 For a beloved son's parents (this family lives in India) Please pray for my mother and father's health. February 5, 2005 For a broken relationship Lord, I am praying for a very close friend of mine I could always count on. He is trying to separate our true happiness, and I am not sure why. I believe there is more to this than the eye holds. I pray for strength for our relationship to regain itself. Whatever was said or done leave it in the past. True friends and true love are so hard to find. I pray for us to regain our true relationship in Jesus' Name. I miss him. He is very confused. I pray that our communication will come together again, and he will see the importance of our relationship. I miss him, and I am having a very difficult time with this separation that he is doing to us. Thank you. February 20, 2005 That God will open hearts and lead them in their daily lives Please pray God will open L's heart with a desire to once again dedicate herself to a relationship. Please pray God will strengthen her against the temptations and negative influences of outside forces. Please pray God enters her heart, opens her eyes and mind, and shows her what is truly good in both her and in our relationship. Please pray the Lord leads us in our daily lives, around the paths of temptation, back to one another's hearts, all the while glorifying God in our good works. I ask this in Jesus' name. March 16, 2005 Several serious requests from the same writer Pray the Lord heals John's liver disease, heals Sandra's inoperable brain tumor, blesses Stephanie with a good husband, heals Kathy's infirmities, and blesses me with money so I can pay my rent and electric bill. Pray God sends an army of angels to stand with Jeff and me as God leads us to victory over our enemies, and that God blesses us with everything we are asking for from our enemies. Pray God delivers John and me from all our problems, the way the Lord made the Egyptians vanish in the desert in Genesis 14. Pray the Lord blesses my family financially as we are out of money-this will take a miracle. Pray the Lord blesses Sandra, Steve, Stephanie, Aaron, Erica, John, Kathy, Sarah, and Michael. They need to have a hedge of protection of angels around them to protect them from George and his family and friends, Pray God removes George, Stacey, and others who want to harm them from Sarah's and Michael's paths. Pray God places love for Paulie in and on Michael's heart, and that he is blessed by Paulie's love. Pray Michael misses her, and has an urgent desire to return to Paulie now, and that he calls her with an apology. Pray for a miracle in Michael's life, so we can be together again, and he doesn't have to leave. Pray for J.J., Pete, Dan, Nancy, Justin, Chris, Linda, Dennis, Bradley, Alice, Mohammad, Kathy, Dave, Mary, Rick, Jean, MaryJo, Jerry, Joan, Susan, Bob, Jeff B., Mary, Dave, Don, Rita and Mildren-as the Lord promises in Psalms 91-that the Lord provides for all their needs, blesses them financially, blesses them all with jobs, blesses them with security, love, wisdom, trust, comfort, peace, joy, and (where they may be lacking) that the Lord God fills them up. Lord, nothing is impossible to You. You have promised in Your Word to meet all of our needs according to Your riches in Glory, and that by Christ Jesus. We all need miracles in our lives in regard to finances. I am asking that You supply our needs and grant us favor. I am also asking that You give us wisdom if we are missing something in the way that You would work this out. Help us, Lord, to be delivered and set free from this bondage. I also stand for angels to surround them-first, send forth warring angels to chase every demonic spirit and influence away from their property and their belongings. Then, Lord, I am asking that You station warriors around them to do warfare in their behalf as they seek You concerning their matters. Father, by Your Spirit, release ministering spirits to them ... spirits of praise and worship, spirits of wisdom and knowledge, and open their eyes, Lord, that they might see their deliverance. I lift up my prayers in the name and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, Amen. June 9, 2005 Urgent request for employment and financial help Please pray that I get enough money to pay my rent and all my overdue bills. Please also pray that I get a better job to get out of this financial crisis permanently. June 11, 2005 Death of a boyfriend, family member, and friend From the Web master: Please pray for the girlfriend and the family who are grieving over the loss of a dear boyfriend, family member, and friend. June 29, 2005 For a young man with a serious medical crisis He is very ill. He has to make a decision whether to pursue experimental treatment or undergo extensive surgery on his leg. There are no guarantees as to a cure. At this time, the doctors have given him only six months to a year without treatment. He is a young man, married only twelve years. Please pray for them in making this decision. July 25, 2005 For another young man; this one with Lymphoma, an aggressive cancer My friend was diagnosed with Lymphoma, an aggressive cancer. The doctors have told him he has no chance in beating this, so he has given up. He is in great pain. No one is his family knows, so he is suffering alone. Please pray for him. Please pray that he decides to fight this cancer. I know doctors tell a lot of people they have no chance and they end up living. He is only twenty-years-old. Please pray that God cures him of this cancer, and saves his soul. Pray that his parents find out and are able to help him. He is not a religious person. He believes that he's gone too far, and God won't forgive him. Please pray that he allows God into his heart. Pray that God shows him the way. Thank you. July 27, 2005 Update Thank you so much for keeping him in your prayer. He seems to be getting better; the lesions on his body are gone, he can see better, and is no longer using a cane to walk. He still, however, refuses to tell his parents, and has not accepted God. Please continue to pray for him, and pray that God gives me the strength to deal with this and do the right thing. Thank you again. July 29, 2005 Update-good news-but please continue to pray for this young man and his friend! I asked for prayer for my friend, who is suffering from a very aggressive cancer. When I requested the prayer, I mentioned he had decided not to fight the cancer at all. Well, I'm happy to report the prayer has already worked. He has decided to restart his chemotherapy. He is also going to cut down his smoking and drinking. Unfortunately, his parents still don't know. Please continue to pray for him. Pray he stays strong through the chemo, which is quite brutal on him, and pray that he beats this diseases completely, and accepts God and is saved. Thank you so much for all your prayers. You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you. God bless you. July 28, 2005 For a gentleman in need of asylum Please pray for me so that OFPRA-that is the France organization for recognizing asylum seekers and immigrants-will grant me the status of asylum seeker, and give me papers very quickly and no rejects. Please pray that the chief of the section will look on me favorably, and accept my case and grant me positive first time and no rejects. This first time positive is very important for my life, for without it things get very frustrating, and I will be in big problems. With the eternal I hope that all is possible, I need spiritual and supernatural help. I hope for a miracle. Thank you. October 7, 2005 For the restoration of a marriage I request prayer for the restoration of my marriage. Both my wife and I are Believers, but she has hardened her heart toward restoration. Would you also pray for comfort concerning our four wonderful children? Thank You. February 22, 2006 For a family who is grieving the death of a beloved member From the Web master: Please pray for a gentleman whose sister-in-law has passed away. I ask that you keep his family in your prayers, and-whatever needs or concerns they have-that God will bless them and give them peace. October 31, 2006 An uncertain request From the Web master: I received a request that wasn't quite clear. It regarded the writer's girlfriend's impending marriage, but that's all I could make out. The Lord knows who this person is, and what his needs are, as surely as He knows you and me. So please pray for this person's needs, whatever they may be, and that he will know Jesus Christ as his Savior. November 17, 2006 For a relationship and the power to overcome addiction Please pray for our relationship. Please pray that he will overcome his addiction and vice, and that with God's mercy and understanding we will be reunited in a loving, everlasting, and committed relationship. Thank you. July 1, 2007 For a homeless veteran, a fifty-three-year-old brother in Christ Pray in agreement that God will finally give me favor to finish learning how to drive a tractor-trailer bobtail truck. I need to pass the DMV Class A/B written and road tests in five to six weeks from today. I want to get a house for my wife and me, so we can be reunited after our three-and-a-half year separation. She is in another state, and I'm in a California Vets center for homeless veterans such as myself. Also, that God will heal my body from any sickness or diseases through Jesus' thirty-nine stripes on the Cross. Please also pray that God gives me wisdom and knowledge and guides my life. God can restore my marriage of thirty years, in His order of doing things, and it will be a testimony of how God can make something out of a person's life such as myself. Pray that God will touch my brain so it can focus and concentrate on driving the tractor starting tomorrow. Thanks. July 19, 2007 Two awesome miracles and a prayer request About twelve years ago, I was moving to another town. It was just me and my disabled son. My family had gone away on vacation, so I had no one to ask for carfare to get to my new apartment. I went to church that morning while my son was in school, and prayed for a miracle of finances. Well, as I was leaving the church, I stumbled across a child's pocketbook hanging on a gate. I just walked by because it didn't mean anything to me, but God told me to go back and pick it up. So, I did. When I opened it, it contained the right amount of money I needed to get on the train. I was shocked! But I knew it was of God. Okay. So I went home to rest. I heard a knock on the door. My housing manager said they had been trying to call me, but my phone was already disconnected. When I asked why, she said they had a $500.00 check waiting for me because they were relocating me. I almost lost it. I said, "What!" She said, "You can cash it right in the cashier's office." I said, "Let's go!" From that day on, I began to trust Him with my whole heart! I do have a prayer request, though. Please pray that God will bless me with a husband. Thank you. God bless! July 23, 2007 For an auto accident and the resulting financial crises My husband had a car accident today with a car that I rented to get us to and from work. I declined the insurance because it cost too much. Please pray that the damage will not cost me that much, and that the car rental company will not be angry with me and penalize me too much. I will also be needing a car to continue to get to and from work. Thank you. August 16, 2007 A heartbreaking e-mail ... the writer and entire family have serious problems, in several areas! I am just requesting prayer for myself and my whole entire family. It seems like the harder we pray the further we get behind. It looks like the more I pray the further I get behind. I know that good things are supposed to happen when you pray; the Holy Bible says "the prayers of the righteous availeth much." Please pray for me and my two sons, my grandchild, and blood sister and brothers. For myself, my two sisters, and my brother-in-law that God will heal us from all our sickness and stop our pains. Pray for us to get the money we will need to pay our bills and pay our occasional debts, and my youngest really needs a good, high-paying job. Please keep us in your prayers. May God Bless everyone who helps us to pray for our needs. Pray for world peace, especially regarding that war in Iraq. Thank you all again in Jesus Christ's Holy Name. October 15, 2007 A couple of awesome miracles, and a prayer request God has so richly blessed me since August, 2007, that I can scarcely tell it all. First, I was out in California looking for work while waiting for graduate school to begin. No work offers seemed forthcoming, when I was directed - while out there - to apply for positions back in my home state. I did this and, in less than a couple of weeks, I received two calls back-to-back for job interviews in my home state. Well, another miracle in this story is that at the time I had just over a hundred dollars - certainly not enough to get me back to North Carolina - so I remember saying to myself, "How am I going to get home?" and within seven minutes! - that's right, minutes - my hotel room phone rang. It was a good friend of mine (who "happens" to be a long-distance trucker). When I answered the phone, he said, "Guess what I'm doing?" to which I replied, "I don't know." His answer, "I'm packing, getting ready to head out to California!" "Oh," I said, "that's great, but I may not be here when you arrive, as I've got job interviews in North Carolina." He asked when I had to be back and, when I told him, he said, "Why not ride back with me?" There was my trip home, in great timing, and free. We had a great trip across country, and it was my first trip across the country in a big rig ;). Needless to say, God took care of every detail - even the fun parts. Prayer Request: To reiterate, God has so richly blessed me since my return to my home state with a new position (yes, I got the job that I desired), a beautiful new apartment of my own, and a new car - all since August, 2007. Now, I'm calling on the miracles of God's storehouse of riches for a supernatural infusion of money (under grace and in perfect ways), so that my financial obligations may be met perfectly and with money to spare. Many thanks for your miracle prayers, and I can't wait to see the miracles that God's going to do next in my life! Many blessings and miracles to you. November 14, 2007 From an overseas sibling in Christ From the Web site owner: This request was a bit hard to follow. I'm guessing it was because English is not the writer's native language. Nevertheless, this request came from a Christian in R.O.C Taiwan, Taipei City, who seems to have lost his or her bankcard and then found it, only to have his or her mother hide it. The writer concluded the e-mail with the following: "Call for God!" "Call for Jesus!" "Yeah!" Amen! I wonder if I've ever heard it put so beautifully, and so powerfully, before: "Call for God!" "Call for Jesus!" I agree. Yay! Amen! November 24, 2007 Prayer for delivery from persecution and bondage Dear brethren in Christ, Please pray for this urgent prayer request. Six persons have put satanic bondages on my and my family's financial and spiritual matters. As a result of these bondages, my brother and I are without jobs. These men have put a bondage on my sister and brother-in-law such that they cannot come and stay with us and do God's ministry in our city, nor can they find a job near us. My mom has several financial losses. She has to get back money from several people. One of the men has duped her of some money. Pray that she gets back all her money back. Pray that my brother and I get the good jobs that we are expecting. Another of the men has put a bondage on me, which has turned my family members against me, and living with my family is not peaceful for me. These people are also using satanic powers to drive us away from our present home. Pray for our deliverance from this situation. Yours in Christ. November 25, 2007 For a family with several serious problems I was just laid off work, have my eighty-six-year-old mother living with me, and have just finished a full set of courses on copywriting. Please pray that I might find work in this new direction, or open a successful freelance business. My mother and I have some challenging health and financial problems. Please also pray for health and financial healing for our family in 2008. December 27, 2007 For the complete healing of a relationship Please pray for complete healing of my relationship with my beloved. Please pray that things be fine and normal between us, and that our relationship be a more successful, stronger, and healthier one. Please pray that all hurt feelings go away, and that we love each other unconditionally. Please pray that let there be love, care, affection, understanding, trust, respect, commitment, and responsibility for each other for life. Please pray an intercessory prayer for our relationship, and join my prayers with yours so that I will surely receive a miracle in my relationship. Thank you. Your child in need. December 29, 2007 For a relationship, yes, but also for meaning and hope for this writer! I made my prayer request on various prayer sites, but my situation just gets worse day by day. My mind is never at peace. I prayed for the restoration of my relationship. I met him two years back, but he left me saying that I was too obsessed with him. I still kept contacting him. He never used to call me, and ignored my messages and calls. I always had the hope that he would come back to me, but it never happened. I crossed all my limits with him, but recently he sent me a message asking me not to contact him anymore. The message was pretty rude. I cried all the way back home. I am here all by myself. My parents live abroad. There is no one I can really trust here, so basically I am lonely. I am twenty-five-years-old, and have never been with any other guy, as I just wanted one person in my life. I never did any harm to anyone. Even some members of my family hate me for no reason, and now someone I love also has begun hating me. I don't know what to ask God for .... it feels like I am living a meaningless life. All I can ask you is to pray for me. February 22, 2008 For a woman, who, though her heart has been broken almost savagely, still has much love to give My life has been a catalogue of errors, starting with a very unhappy and somewhat abusive childhood. I was made to feel different and probably was, and still am, but have tried to be a good human being. I have made mistakes like everyone else. I have always felt self conscious about the way I look. I have sought surgery to make me look better in the eyes of others, but this doesn't seem to have happened. I feel I will never be happy with the way I look. I married at the age of nineteen, put my heart and soul into it for as long as I could, and had two wonderful children. My husband left after twenty years to be with someone else; both he and she "rubbed my nose" in their union, and caused a great deal of pain and unhappiness to both myself and my children. I suffer great loneliness and fear. I wake up each day trying to make it seem like it's the beginning instead of the end, but it always ends in hopelessness. My children are wonderful. My son is gentle like me, but also sensitive and a worrier like myself. He is extremely bright, but I worry that his education will come to nothing due to our circumstances. I live in a bad area, and can't sleep at night for fear of something happening to myself and my child. I am losing my home in three or four years time because that's what was stipulated in the divorce settlement. We sell and my ex and I split the proceeds. But with what I have left, I will not be able to buy anywhere, and I cannot afford to rent in the city. I don't feel I will ever look "OK" enough to work. I have so much love to give, but don't ever see it being reciprocated. I feel in an impossible situation, and can only hope I don't live long enough to face these dilemmas. I want to be happy, at peace. I wonder if you can help me. I don't know if this is the sort of e-mail you would normally get, but I could certainly use a miracle at this time. Thank you for reading. March 1, 2008 For a job crises ... and we all know how devastating those can be Miracle prayer needed for a daughter who is facing a crisis in her career from her boss. Let her have good news and peace of mind and a brighter future in her career soon. March 24, 2008 For an aunt who the Lord rescued from the valley of the shadow of death, but who is still in need of prayer Please pray for a miracle-a special Divine intervention and complete healing and health restoration for my aunt who is suffering from end stage renal (kidney) failure. She was in a critical situation in intensive care for more than three weeks, but the Lord was so Good and rescued her from the shadow of the valley of death. We are now hoping and believing for a Divine intervention and miracle for her kidney to save her, and us, all the complications and troubles associated with the dialysis. Please, please agree with us (Matthew 18:19), and let us stand together on His promise and claim a complete healing and restoration of her kidney function according to "Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). Thank you for praying for her, lifting us in front of the throne of grace, and claiming with us a miracle on her behalf. Please continue to remember her in your prayers. I believe your prayers will make all the difference for us!! Bless you richly in Jesus' Name. April 24, 2008 An urgent request for a dire situation and a hard battle! Urgent prayer request: Please pray for me daily until I receive a cure . Please pray that God [delivers] me. I am in Chennai, India, age thirty-six, and I am in the middle of spiritual warfare. I would appreciate the prayers of agreement for victory over my enemies. A very hard battle; the enemy is trying to destroy my life and my walk with the Lord. I find myself in a dire situation, and need your prayers. Please pray that the Lord will ... guard me day and night. Also, pray for me in your fasting prayer, [that God will] completely cure me. Thanks for your prayers. June 2, 2008 Prayer for salvation and deliverance Salvation and rededication for S., twenty-three-years-old, and a special request for salvation of his friends - especially a childhood playmate who God has put a burden in my heart for, as well as his mother and that family. Please pray for deliverance from drugs, alcohol, and absolutely all bondages on all of them, and for deliverance for M. from every evil word spoken against her and her family. Also please pray for the return of the house and ownership after twelve years of a renting-to-own contact, and that final ownership would be reestablished. Pray for exposure of the truth regarding all legal and spiritual attacks toward M. and her family to the last detail, and that everyone involved hence return all that was taken. God knows the details. June 3, 2008 For a relationship I am in love with a young woman I've known for approximately two years. She loves me as well, but there is a considerable age difference. She is younger than I am. I pray that the age gap will not be a problem for us, that we can build our relationship, and that we do not alienate anyone because of our relationship. July 4, 2008 For the heart-broken! I need a miracle from the Lord. I have had a really hard life. I was homeless for five years after I graduated high school. My dad left me when I was nine, and he was abusive and violent to my mom. I am twenty-six-years-old. I have been without love in my life for a long time. I have never loved anyone until I met a man, but ... he said for me not to contact him anymore. ... I have been lonely and hurt a lot in my life. ... My mom does not love me, and my dad abandoned me when I was young. Every night I cry myself to sleep. Every time I love someone they go away from me. Please ask the Lord that I can marry this man, and that for once in my life someone can love me back. I cannot handle being without him. I do not have anyone's love right now except for God's love, and so many times I wish I did not live because I do not have anyone's love on earth. I do not want to be alone my whole life. My mom tells me every day that no one is going to love me or marry me, and that I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life. My mom even told me I should not have been born in the world. Please, I am asking God for this man to love me back and to marry me. I want to live with my future husband and love him for the rest of life. I will never forget this miracle from God if I receive this miracle. Thank You September 12 and 23, 2008 For emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical healing Note from the Web master: I shortened this prayer request substantially to protect the sender because it contained some very personal information; however, when you pray for her please know that her problems (and her family's problems) are far more serious than what is posted here. For one thing, a custody battle is going that made my hair stand on end. God knows them, and knows everything about them, and He will hear us when we lift them up in prayer even if we don't present Him with the juicy details. Pray for [me] R., and [my boyfriend] C.L., my special love and a great father. My kids love and miss him. My place is with him. If God grants me this, I promise to love him forever and not ever hurt his heart again. Life is worth taking chances. I will promise him that. People make mistakes. I do love and miss him with my heart ... through all this I've been upset and depressed, and I yelled at him because I was frustrated. Pray he will forgive all that has happened, and ... pray [for his mother's] breast cancer. I love him with my heart and soul, and miss him so badly. Also, pray for my aunt who is being moved to a specialty care unit tomorrow and is very bad. Pray for a fast ... if it has to be my poor aunt, so sad and sick and hurting. She's bed-confined with a huge hole in her back from radiation and needs wound care. She won't eat, so they're feeding her, and she has fluid in her lungs and swelling all over ... no quality of life. She's so upset and wants to come home to die. All I want is another holiday with her, but with this and the custody battle I sort of pushed C. [away]. He's a great man and great father, but I needed to focus on all this. I cry every day with my mom and cousin ... October 1, 2008 Emergency request! Please pray for complete and total healing for my brother who has cancer. He is in hospice and has been told he has less than a month to live. Thank you so much for your prayers. June 17, 2008 For a job in our uncertain economy Dear brother/sister in Christ, Please pray for a job for my husband and me within a month. October 3, 2008 Update: Praise the Lord for good news, and please continue to pray for this couple! Because of your faithfulness, O my God, even I will give thanks to you as I play on a lyre. I will make music with a harp to praise you, O Holy One of Israel. Psalm 71:22 Thanks for your prayers. My husband got a job in Michigan. Please do continue to pray that I too would get a job and that I would grow more in the Lord each day. In spite of a weak US economy, I know our God is great. And nothing is impossible for Him. Thanks for your prayer. Sister in Christ. October 6, 2008 Emergency request for upcoming doctor's appointment My husband is thirty-four-ears-old and, a few months ago, we found out that he has four aneurysms: two that are at the base of his brain, and two in the carotid arteries. Last year, he had major surgery to repair some abdominal aneurysms he had, and he recovered 100 percent. ... While he was hospitalized just a few months ago, we were told that he might have a genetic disorder called Ehlers Danlos disease. This disease is fatal, and there is no cure. ... I truly believe in my heart that he will make it through this illness, and I have faith that the Lord Jesus Christ will get us through this tough time just as He has in the past. My husband is the best part of my life, and is the most kindhearted, generous, loving man, but he has a hard time believing that miracles can happen if he has faith. I can only imagine what he is going through in his mind, and I want to stay positive for him. I love him so much, and would trade places with him in a heartbeat. ... I pray that when we visit with his doctor in a couple of weeks that we get the good news that he does not have this genetic disease, or that he will not need surgery. ... I ask all of you to keep us in your prayers, and pray that we get the strength to make it through this. October 2, 2008 Praising God for an amazing miracle, and a prayer request My mother suffered from COPD, and had to use a neubulizer four times a day (more often as needed). She is an Assembly of God Adult Sunday school teacher. After prayer, her coughing would cease, and she would resume teaching, but most often the coughing would return just after class. This last winter, on a cold, wet, icy Tuesday night, she was at a women's prayer meeting. It was a shallow turnout, only about half a dozen including my mother, but these women were warriors. Mother's cough broke out, and the five or so women laid hands on her and the glory shown down. One lady gave a message in tongues and my mother interpreted (meant for herself). The best of my knowledge [is that it] was similar to: "Just as I formed you and breathed life into you, I now breathe into you new life, from this moment on." A few weeks later Mother returned her nebulizer machine, stating she didn't feel it was right for Medicaid to be paying for it when she was healed. At seven this morning, my father awoke vomiting, his speech impaired, and he was disoriented. The CAT scan revealed a one inch bleed, which apparently blocked a lot of the scan. Early this afternoon they abandoned an MRI as Dad was thrashing about and very uncooperative, totally unlike my father. My father is also a Christian, age seventy-seven. Please join us and hold him up in prayer. Thank you so much. October 7, 2008 Update: please continue to pray My Dad is still in critical condition. Another CAT scan at four this morning revealed again that the one-and-a-half inch bleed area is not enlarging, and is believed to be shrinking, meaning that in all likelihood the bleeding on his brain has stopped. Doctors were initially suspecting a brain tumor, thinking its view was obscured by the first CAT scan. An MRI two days later revealed no tumor! He's on a ventilator and being kept heavily sedated. He is "combative" without the sedation. Each morning the medication is allowed to wear off somewhat, and his condition evaluated, but thus far the combativeness returns until he is sedated again. His heart, blood pressure, and kidneys all seem to be working well. The ventilator tube was turned off Sunday for three hours and then back on in an attempt to bring him off it slowly; however, yesterday is was only off for an hour before his breathing became labored. We were informed several days back that he has an infection and that he is being given antibiotics. This morning he has no fever, but we were informed yesterday that he has a strep and staph infection in his lungs, as well as an even more serious a blood infection called MRSA. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria - often called "staph." Decades ago, a strain of staph emerged in hospitals that was resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. Dubbed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), it was one of the first germs to outwit all but the most powerful drugs. MRSA infection can be fatal. S. aureus ("staph") is a common bacteria that normally lives on the skin and sometimes in the nasal passages. MRSA refers to S. aureus strains that do not respond to the antibiotics normally used to cure staph infections. The bacteria can cause infection when it enters the body through a cut, sore, catheter, or breathing tube. Dad has both a catheter and a breathing tube, as well as a feeding tube, IV's, etc. The neurologist said he had a rough night last night and the doctor didn't think Dad was responding well to the antibiotics. We're told the infections are the real concern at this time. Yesterday, even while heavily sedated, Dad made eye contact with Mom. Later he also reached out his hand toward my sister Pam. Dad is seventy-seven, a strong Christian, and ready to go, but we have had many miraculous healings in our family and we are believing ... for one more. We have all prayed, "The infections must go in Jesus name," and we are believing for Dad's healing and his full recovery. Please continue to pray for my father, and at the same time give Thanks and Praise for the prayers already sent up. October 8, 2008 Update: please do not give up praying! Thank you so much for your reply and especially your prayers! My mother and both my sisters are also Christians and we are all praying and giving praise for Dad's recovery. This morning there appears not much change outwardly, but we have asked and we believe that ministering angels have camped about. We know that the Holy Spirit is present, in Dad, on Dad, and around Dad. We have prayed that this MRSA and all infection go in Jesus' wonderful Name. We are praying and believing for Dad's full recovery. Thank you for all your prayers; likewise, we will uphold you and your "prayer warriors." Last night, my mother-in-law was taken to the ER passing a kidney stone. Also, a customer asked us to pray for Caroyln, who is battling reoccurring cancer. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We praise God for prayer warriors! October 19, 2008 Prayer for healing Please pray for healing for Patricia and Chris. November 2, 2008 Prayer for a broken heart - God can heal even the most broken hearted I am distressed. The man I love deeply has left me. I cannot live without him. I am sure that my love for him is more than he can imagine. I want him to come back to me. I am waiting upon a miracle because it is so hard to continue with my life. I love him madly, but he just said goodbye and went. He won't even talk. I want to marry him. I love him so much. Please pray for me. November 11, 2008 For sanity, peace, and a restored relationship I am requesting a prayer for my love of my life. She is a victim of Abused Child Syndrome and was married to an abusive husband. Because of this, severe problems with menopause, and horrible pressure from her mother, she became someone totally different from the woman she was. She was so full of love and life and infinitely happy, but she is now a different personality - vindictive, mean, and cold. She is being controlled and manipulated by those with evil agendas who have ruined her life. The doctors have put her on Prozac and anti-anxiety pills, which have radically changed her personality. For the past year she has been spiraling down mentally and morally, and the harder I try to save her and comfort her the harder other people work to bring her down. She would rather have died than tell a lie, and now lies and immorality rule her life. She attended church every week and now she hasn't been inside a church in seven months. Please, I ask you, I beg you, to pray for her to return to the person she was, to return to the church, and especially to return to the love and compassion we used to have as a couple. I beg you to pray in Jesus' Name for her to return to me where our love was pure, wholesome, and unconditional. I ask you to pray for our love. Bless each and every one of you for praying for her and us. Thank you. November 20, 2008 For peace and God's blessing Tears of joy much more than tears of sadness I would not call him back My Daddy just scored a touchdown He has entered into the joy of the Lord November 29, 2008 For blessings on a fellow Believer's projects! Dear Saints, Please circulate my prayer request worldwide so that brothers and sisters in Christ can pray for me and my Great Leap Forward Programme that I have initiated in my spiritual, physical, and financial life. Also, that God will give me a breakthrough in my Education Supplements International non-governmental (NGO) work to the glory and honour of His Name. God bless you! December 12, 2008 Emergency prayer needed for an impending doctor's appointment and healing I am asking for a miracle for my fifteen-year-old son, Thad. On Monday of this week (December 8, 2008), we were informed by the doctor that he had lost his vision in his right eye because of a detached retina. We went to a specialist on Wednesday, (December 10, 2008) hoping to find out when surgery would be performed to reattach the retina. We were advised that the retina detachment happened too long ago and that there was nothing they could do for him. The retina was beginning to fold in upon itself, and too much scar tissue would prevent them from doing any type of operation to fix it. We are taking him to Duke University on Monday, December 15, 2008, to see another specialist. God says ask and you shall receive. Please pray that the scar tissue disappears and that the retina unfolds and my son's vision returns to him. Thank You O Lord for all that You do for me and my family. I ask in Your Blessed Name that you grant this miracle to my child, Thad. In Your Loving Name, Amen. December 20, 2008 For a lost child Please pray that my daughter returns to her faith. December 25, 2008 For a lost friend who is slothful, angry at the world, and deeply depressed She sleeps about fifteen hours a day. She is constantly late for work. She has her own her own dog walking business, so she can get away with being late to a certain degree, but not completely. She starts her work at four each day. By this time people are coming home from work, and the dogs should have already been walked. Because of this, she is losing clients. She is slothful in her ways. Her home is full of so much junk that she only has about a three-by-three space to lie down right inside the entry to her home. The rest of the place is packed so full of junk there is no access to it; even the bathroom has no access. She rents her place and is four months late to pay rent, not due to lack of money, but because she has no ambition to pay it on time. I'm not talking about my friend so that people will make fun of her. I just want everyone who is praying to understand the seriousness of this problem and why they are praying for her. Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that You bless my dear friend, bless her in the Name of Jesus. Rebuke satan and his demons that are involved in her life. Rebuke the principalities and powers of evil that are over her. Rebuke the forces of evil surrounding her. Nobody in his or her right mind would reject You, Lord. Bind the devil off of her mind, get the devil off her back. She has been drugged by the enemy. Loose satan from his assignment against her, aloud, violently, with authority. ... I pray that You, God, will bombard her with Your Word, through every possible means, from every possible angle, and every source; relentlessly day and night. I pray that she will hear the gospel message through people, TV, radio, friends and family, clients, dreams, visions, tracts, magazines, memories, and her own conscience. I ask that You, Heavenly Father, turn every event that happens to her, whether good or bad, into a sermon to her heart. I ask that You, Heavenly Father, will bring laborers into the harvest of her life to share Christ with her. Only You know exactly to whom she will listen to and from whom she will receive the Gospel. I pray for divine appointments, divine rendezvous; I pray that favor, receptivity, and openness will form in her heart for those that You send to her. I pray that You, God, will allow her path to cross with Your chosen messengers for her. I also offer to become one of those laborers myself, and I ask You, God, for wisdom on how to reach her for Christ and for open opportunities. It is going to take the Holy Spirit to draw her and convince her of her need for You, Christ. I ask the Holy Spirit to convince her of the basic sin of rejecting You, that peace is available through Jesus, and that satan and sin have already been defeated. Father, I thank you for Your mercy, Your love, and Your protection. I thank You for blessing her. In Jesus' Name. Amen. December 12, 2008 Again - emergency prayer needed for an impending event From the Web master: I completely rewrote this to make it understandable, but do not understand all the details myself. What is clear is that this writer sounds desperate. I echo her: please pray. I am mentally very upset. Our neighbors are mentally torturing us. My sister will be married on December 21, and we are now living at a rent house, an attached home. That is the problem. We are searching for another house to rent. At the month's end we must move, but we can't stand to live here for twenty more days. The neighbor is mentally torturing us. How can we live in that house? The neighbor speaks bad words to us every day, rude words. They are splitting us apart. We are very much worried about that, but also my papa drinking. Please pray for us to keep peace in our house. Please, help us. Please pray for us, and our house. The owner is a very good person, but his house is far away from us. We only need this house for twenty more days, but I can't tolerate the time because we need peace. ... They are torturing us over my sister's marriage, I really feel very much. Please pray for us to keep happy, and for peace in my house. Please, I beg you to pray for us and that my sister's marriage will happen. Please pray. I am waiting for your reply. ...We cannot tolerate our neighbor's nonsense words. Please do something. We need a miracle. Please pray for us. We looked at one new rent house, but my dad would not agree to come to that house. I can't live in this house. Every moment, my neighbor talks to me. It is an attached house. ...Please pray my papa stops his drinking habit, and that the neighbor keeps quiet, otherwise, we can't stay in that house twenty days. Also, my mom and I are not taking food or sleep properly. Day by day, we are losing weight. Please. ... We can't sit one second more in that house. If our neighbor is mentally torturing us then how can we live? On one side, my papa is also drinking, and on Sunday, December 14, I am scared what will happen. Please pray that our neighbor is gone out of that house, then everything will be OK. Please pray. ... I do a lot of weeping daily and my mom, also, can't forget this matter. Please pray for us that she is gone out of our compound as soon as possible. I can't forget this matter. Please pray for us that she is gone out of our compound as soon as possible. Please pray, then, that my house is kept at peace. Please reply. I am waiting. I am counting my days and scared. Please pray for us. Please. I am writing for your reply. Please. Urgently praying. My mom and I think that they are doing this only because of this marriage time. We feel very bad. Please pray for us. December 26, 2008 Please keep her in your prayers because her problems are so ongoing. I attended one interview and they gave me some data entry text. Afterward, the boss said, "I will call you on December 26, Friday, and tell you [if you got the job]." They did not call me. I'm afraid. Please pray that this data entry job is permanent and that the boss calls me soon. Please pray. January 5, 2009 EMERGENCY PRAYER FOR A SUICIDAL PERSON From the Web master: This is an emergency. Pray with all of your hearts! I am very sick. My symptoms never stop. I worry that, even if you pray for me, nothing will happen because I don't know how to have faith. I'm too stupid, my heart is frozen shut, I can't feel Jesus or love and I feel God couldn't care less about me. Hundreds have prayed for me but nothing got better. I just want to die. I don't know why I'm bothering asking for prayer again, because I'm desperate and in so much agony I want to cut my limbs off from the torture my life is. But God never answers - please, can you pray that God will make my sister not be busy, and to be with me a lot, and to want to be with me? And pray together for God to heal me, and for her faith to grow hugely, but for God to take away any pressure she might feel about having to help me, and give her lots of energy and strength and huge true faith and caring and discernment. Also, for God to heal me through her, or guide us, as to what will make this stop. She's the only person I can be near. I can't talk to anybody else. I'm irrationally terrified of everyone. Please, can you pray that God will take away my sister's flu, or fever, or exhaustion - or whatever it is that she has? And pray that God will make her truly understand my horrific symptoms and what they truly are, and that this is much worse than just depression or something. I want to kill myself because no doctors or prayers could help me, and I don't know who or where I am anymore - it's like I'm on another planet. I'm in agonizing hell, and I feel so alone and like no one understands. Please can you pray for my sister to not yell at me or get angry with me anymore, and to be shown in a way she can understand the true severity of what has happened to me. Can you please pray for God to bring many miracles into my life and heal me now. My symptoms are: Much torment Shaking Pain Overheating/sweating Pulsating in feet and head arteries Hard to breath Unable to recognize my house or family even Complete cognitive loss - cant read/understand books/Web sites Much despair and crying Agony beyond anything a human can bear Episodes happening twenty-four hours every day, including when attempting to sleep Unable to sleep or sleeping very lightly No hope-had many, many medications, prayer, deliverance ministries, natural medicine, etc.-all without ANY help/change Every day is worse and worse - unable to function and more "insane" and vacant VERY oversensitive hearing/noises sound distorted - have to wear earplugs all day and also headphones on top and still not enough help Unable to feel God even though tried worship music, saying Jesus' name, everything-really trapped with no hope Twitching, vibrating, spontaneous crying, rage, overreacting, yelling and many more symptoms Many more symptoms Twenty-eight-years-old ... very devastating Please, can you pray and believe that God will finally heal me today of horrific symptoms, tell me a medication - or anything else - that will stop this so I don't have to end it. I can't leave the house for four months or be near anyone. I'm in horrific terror. Please pray God gives my sister urgent anointing for healings and miracles and that He will heal me through my sister. She's the only person I'm able to see, and I need literally hundreds of miracles bigger even than in the Bible to reverse the much damage that has happened to my body and mind. I cant live like this anymore and God hasn't helped me. No medications have either, and these episodes happen twenty-four-hours-a-day and never stop. I have huge shaking and vibrating in my head and feet, and I can't recognize my family or even my house, and I have many, many other horrific things/symptoms. Please pray God removes anything that is/would prevent me from being healed, and to give my sister lots of strength and guidance and take away her exhaustion, and to give her huge, huge faith so God can work through her. And please pray He will stop this, and reverse all this miraculously so I can go to sleep-normal people sleep-for once, and that I'm not scared, and that God would leave me this way forever. Please pray God pours much grace and mercy on me, and that He will bring His huge power into my life and help me. Please. And please pray He will warm/open my heart because it is frozen shut too. I'm going to die. Why did God let something happen to me that would take literally thousands of impossible miracles to reverse my states of being? What have I done so wrong? PLEASE pray everything changes and gets better, and for thousands of miracles for my brain and body, which I know are impossible - please pray they will happen. And pray that God will help me and not hate me and be angry with me. Please! I'm in horrific hell, and on top of this, I can't feel love, or God, or heart gratitude, or faith, or read my Bible or learn anything - I am in the most hopeless situation on earth. Thank you.

July 3, 2009 Financial problems, and health - she feels as if her whole life has fallen apart. Please pray! Dear friends, May I please ask for your prayers? I am in a world of hurt right now and don't remember ever being so low. In December, I went for a procedure to help a pinched nerve in my back and suffered a stroke when something went very wrong. My whole life feels like it has fallen apart since. I lost my home in the Pacific NW, am filing bankruptcy and had to move to WI and haven't been able to work. Would you please add me to your healing (heart, mind and body) and prayer list? I hope to come through this even stronger and help others because of this. Thank you and bless you. July 20, 2009 For an elderly gentleman with serious health problems Dear friends, The day my dad moved into his new apartment, everyone just stacked things. His cat evidently caused an avalanche that fell across his front door. Dad didn't hear it, though, because he was sleeping so soundly. The next morning when he woke up he had paralysis in his hands, arms, legs, and feet. He lay on his bed for several hours, yelling, trying to get someone's attention. He was finally able to roll off his bed and crawl (army style) to the bathroom. On the 4th of July weekend he heard people walking by his apartment and began yelling again. Finally, someone stopped and yelled back. This guy was able to push all the boxes from in front of Dad's door. He came in and helped Dad. Turns out in the three to four day period this was taking place my dad regained some strength and attempted to walk with canes. He fell several times and broke his leg (the bottom portion - near his ankle). The man who came in called ambulance. Dad was taken to the ER, cared for, and sent home by ambulance. He was sent home with a wheelchair. In the morning he will be picked up and taken back to the VA hospital to have his leg set. He may need surgery. He has some sort of fatty tumor in his spinal column that they believe is causing the paralysis. He's been told if he has surgery he has a 50 / 50 chance. Doctors do not know what the tumor is. He's in a lot of pain and also still suffers from COPD. Right now he's feeling very scared so please keep him in your prayers and please put him on your prayer chain. August 10, 2009 Update. Keep praying because God does perform miracles. Pray for their strength and peace as well. He has been told that he will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. He is also needing a trach and will be unable to speak after that. However, he has been upgraded from Critical to Stable and his spirits are improving some. He is still in need of much prayer, as are Tammy, Jim, and the boys. Tammy and her family will be packing her dad's things to move out of the apartment that he is in (the one they just unpacked and set up three weeks ago!), so they could definitely use prayer for strength. September 7, 2009 For a beloved father Hello everyone, My dad is in critical condition, due to the surgical removal of a cancerous lung and complications from that partial lung lobectomy. But, after many surgeries and a collapsed lung, he is still unable to breath on his own after eleven days now! He is still unconscious, and we are ready for him to come back to life again! If you feel moved to do so, please pray for my dad to start breathing on his own again, and for a full and speedy recovery. Your prayers are coveted! Thank You! Blessings. September 14, 2009 Emergency request! Please pray for my husband, Ernie. He is a wonderful husband and father. It was just discovered that he has a soft mass on his right lung and the doctors think it's cancer. He has a biopsy scheduled for tomorrow, 9/15/09. Please pray that this mass is not cancerous in the name of Jesus. He has had several miracles in the past, and we are asking yet again, for another. Twenty or so years ago, Ernie was involved in a terrible car accident. Doctors thought that he wouldn't live, and if he did live, he'd be a vegetable. Ernie was in a coma & had a severe brain injury. He came out of the coma after six weeks, and learned to walk and talk again. He has held a regular job for 17 years, and lives a normal life. Then, about 8 years ago, Ernie choked on a peanut M&M. It went down the wrong pipe. Doctors couldn't find anything in his lung, and for months Ernie got sicker and sicker. Finally the doctors agreed to do a scope on the lung & told us that they feared he had lung cancer. I brought him to a church prayer group, and they laid hands on him and prayed. That same night, Ernie coughed and coughed, and believe it or not, he coughed up the peanut from the M&M that had been stuck in his lung for months. The biopsy came back with no cancer - the peanut had caused severe scar tissue on the lung. Ernie ended up losing 2/3 of that lung. This is the same lung (it's actually a stump of 1/3 lung) that the doctors are saying has a soft mass that they think is cancer. Last Saturday, they drained 800 cc of fluid out of his lungs. He is very sick and depressed (as we, his family, are as well). Please, please pray that the mass they see is not cancer, and that the mass is nothing life threatening. I ask this in the name of Jesus. The biopsy is tomorrow (9/15), and we will get the results in 3 working days. Thank you so much. September 2, 2009 For a gentle soul, still carrying the heavy load of abuse and neglect on her shoulders. Pray Jesus interevenes in her life and grants her peace and hope! I am still so messed up inside! Will and I know that the Lord brought us together, yet I am unable to trust!! I never have been able to, and I am trustworthy and I do love him, but he's fed up and I fear he's giving up on me. Please help us! Pray for us. All I want is to be good to him and good for him but then fear overwhelms me and I mess things up over and over. Thank you for praying. Only Jesus could make me right. September 6, 2009 Please continue to pray for her peace, and for the peace of her beloved! I am starting to see The Lord at work stomping out these demons of fear etc in me. I now have more peace about everything. But Will is now the one fighting the demon of fear anger etc. And he openly admits it. Please pray for him to overcome this like I am. He's now going to the wrong sources for advice about us. Those who have never been in a good healthy relationship themselves. And although they mean well they can't help him or us because they don't even know how to help themselves. I told him it is like going to a podiatrist for heart surgery. It makes no sense at all. All I know is we do love each other and we both keep proving it over and over. September 24, 2009 Their problems are increasing. Continue to bathe them in prayer! We need more prayer. It seems that we keep coming up against a lot of problems that are too big for us. Please continue to pray for us. We have BIG problems. Thank you for your support. We know The Lord brought us together. Does that mean that He will keep us together????? September 25, 2009 For a mother who lost her little girl Please pray for a mother's whose youngest daughter died of an asthma attack right in front of the mother. She was adminstering CPR, and had called 911, but the child was lost. The older daughter witnessed this. Please pray for this family. They need to be bathed in prayer. November 3, 2009 More financial and health problems. Saddle up, prayer warriors! Hello. I'm ... requesting urgent prayers due to severe financial hardship. Please pray I immediately find a well paying job and career in a stable company with good benefits, work environment, and excellent salary so I can support myself without having financial hardship and having to rely on others for assistance. Please pray God will help me in choosing the right career and help me balance work, life, and school in order to do well and succeed in all areas. Please pray I am healed of all emotional and physical problems so I do not have to struggle getting through each day and be able to function in all daily activities. Please pray for healing for m, and d, and t. Please pray for restoration of friendship with m and h Thank you for your prayers. November 5, 2009 For a relationship, and the peace for both souls Can you, please, fervently pray for COMPLETE RECONCILIATION with my loved one. ... That we MEET and TALK, THAT GOD FORM LINES OF GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US, KEEP US IN HIS CARE and HELP US TO WORK OUT ALL PROBLEM. That [he] DOES NOT GET INVOLVED INTO ANY NEW RELATIONSHIP, but THAT WE START AGAIN, continue OUR WAY TOGETHER and officially get married! God gives promises, and I know He is FAITHFUL! I am sure when your prayers join mine will surely receive a miracle. I am praying with Faith and please help me in this. Thank you very much. God bless you. I pray for you. Praise the Lord for He hear prayers and answer on it. October 11, 2009 Emergency request: For a mother's sick newborn! My daughter was born 12 days ago (Sept 30) after an emergency c-section. It took her 4 days to open her eyes and has moderate hypotonia and doesn't feed and is currently being fed with a feeding tube. In the last few days her breathing has become very rapid but not *dangerous* She is currently in NICU. The doctors have run blood test, thyroid, EEG, EKG, MRI, Ultrasounds, chest x-rays and chromosome testing and it has all come back normal and better. I know that one touch of the Master's hand can heal my beautiful baby of her hypotonia and wake her up and bring her home to us. Please pray for her. Pray for the miracle that will shock the doctors and we can proclaim to the world! Thank you. October 13, 2009 Update; keep praying! Thank you so much for your prayers! They are transferring [her to a children's hospital] in just a few hours for more diagnosis since everything has come back normal. I am praying hard for my miracle, but it's tough to hold on when doctors try to "prepare you for the worst". But I know in my heart that God can heal my baby....it's getting my mind there when dr.'s are chattering in your ear. I will let you know when the miracle occurs! God bless you, October 18, 2009 PRAY! I'm sorry to bother you. I know you must get thousands of requests for prayer. They are testing my daughter for some horrible genetic disorder, please, please, please, stand in agreement with me in prayer that she does not have it (we won't know for a couple of weeks). Please ask God to heal my daughter. Thanks so much, God bless you! November 5, 2009 Note from the Web master: This lovely mother did not receive good news. This means we must pray harder. God is a miracle-working God. The testimonies located on other pages on this Web site are proof enough. And God can and does still reach into the fabric of nature and heal. It is our job to consistently pray for this baby. In the Name of Jesus Christ, we pray for the healing of this child, and that her mother will have deep peace and hope. I wish I could be writing you to tell you that our prayers were answered, but I can not. The test results have come back and my daughter does have the horrible genetic disorder. I am trying so hard to stand in faith, knowing that God can heal my baby no matter what the doctors say, but I am drowning in despair and struggling with this everyday ... with the syndrome, with the feeling that God abandoned me, ignored the prayers of hundreds and is punishing my daughter. I do want to thank you for your prayers and for sending out the call to others. Thank you again for taking time out of your day to pray so much for my daughter. November 18, 2009 For a relationship, and the health, peace, and prosperity of them both. Let's stand together in faith with him! Hello, I am looking for as many prayer partners as I can find to help restore my relationship with my fiancé. After 5 years she broke up with me this spring and I am praying that God will restore our love, strengthen our vows and lead us to the alter to build a marriage on His foundation and to His glory. I believe we are soul mates and many of our friends thought so as well, I believe it is God's will to do this miracle and I am doing my best to stand on faith that it will come to pass. December 13, 2009 Keep praying! Thank you for prayer request and I am sure that I will have praise reports for you on Wednesday. Please pray for five unspoken requests for me In the name of Almighty Jesus, Amen. December 22, 2009 Prayer for God to guard and direct one's steps Please pray that I will get a holy guardian angel to guard and keep me on the right path always. January 3, 2010 For delivery from addiction and vice, and - most importantly - for the salvation of his soul This guy ... fell in love with me. At first I did not accept. I told him about God's will, ... for which he said he also knows God has a plan for everyone's life. Later I accepted him ONLY DUE TO SYMPATHY because a girl had already cheated him. After I accepted he was very happy, but after some days he broke up with me telling me that he is not suitable for me. Recently, I came to know that he is severely addicted to drugs and alcohol. Please pray that he should be delivered from such evil practices, change his ways, and come to an intimate relationship with Jesus. He must be completely transformed by the love of God and he must get born again. He must not get into adulterous traps. Please pray every day. January 6, 2010 For healing and peace, and protection for his job My name is Larry and I need you to pray for me. About a month and a half ago I woke up and could not hear out of my left ear. When I was younger I lost 80% of the hearing in my right ear so this is why this is such a emergency for me. I have been to specialist and they say there is not really anything they can do and do not know what caused this to happen. I work with children for the last 20 years, I am a High Ropes and Rock wall instructor and a Life Guard. I manage a 600 acre camp ground where kids come and camp and attend summer camp. I need your prayer that God will completely restore my hearing so I can continue to be able to do my job. I recently was married to a wonderful Philippine woman in June. I would also like you to pray for all of those who suffer with this type of problem,it is very hard to handle something like this with your work and your family. I have read all the prayer request on this site and I lift each and everyone of you up to our Lord Jesus Christ and pray for healing and resolution to all here. I know my problem does not even compare to some who have written in but I could loose my job if this does not clear up. Thank you for your time and your prayers In Jesus Name !! January 8, 2010 From the above gentleman, an additional request for a lost, suicidal soul! Thank you so much. I will keep you posted as to what happens.

January 26, 2010 Urgent prayer request for a newborn daughter! My Niece was rushed in for an emergency c section earlier today about 11AM. Mother is doing ok, little baby girl is not. Only 4 lbs & was shaking pretty violently, reasons unknown. My Niece got to touch her only through a mobile incubator, before she was taken 2 towns away to a natal intensive care unit. My sister just now called very upset & I could not make out all she said, but apparently test reveal some chromosome damage, hole/s in her heart, some other organs may not be functioning properly. Mother's name is Krystal, I don't know if the baby is named yet, but our Heavenly Father knows her. Your prayers are appreciated so much. Thanks. January 28, 2010 Update. The news is not good. May God be glorified by the astounding trust and faith of this family. Dear friends, neighbors, relatives - Prayer Warriors, All the prayers for my nice Krystal & her new baby are appreciated so very, very much. Thank you, Thank you. My Mother implied this "special needs child" was perhaps entrusted with us for a reason. All her children, & grandchildren have been born healthy & are all still reasonable healthy. This precious "great grandchild" is an exception. My Wife ... stated that maybe this was just God's little Angel to be with us awhile. The length of time we do not. Test won't be conclusive for a few more days, but the doctors are suspecting "Trisomy 18" aka "Edwards Syndrome". (Considerably worse than down syndrome) Most die in the womb & are stillborn, those that aren't usually live around 8 days average, up to about a year max (on average) if I understood my sister correctly. Perhaps she is already a miracle just being with us. My niece ... (Krystal's youngest still at home sister) was warned in a dream Sunday night (involving 3 babies one on top of a coffin). Krystal went to the hospital to have her labor induced the next morning on Monday. Once the doctors broke her water (a very large amount) they completely lost the baby's heartbeat. Quickly turning Krystal over (this sometimes will help) a heartbeat still was NOT detected, after quickly inserting some instrument to detect even the faintest beat, it confirmed no heartbeat, I got the following story; The doctor loudly yells "Surgery Stat". One nurse physically jumps on the already rolling gurney & starts inserting a cather as they sped toward the surgery room, sedative is quickly administered into Krystals already installed IV, still rolling the doctor is physically pushing the babies head back into the birth canal. They make a turn, roll across the surgery door threshold, he states to Krystal, "hun you may not be completely under the anesthetic yet, but there is no time", & even before that remark was completed he was already starting the incision for the emergency C section. From the time they entered surgery, Addylynn Grace was removed from her mothers womb & delivered into this world in less than 2 minutes. The doctors told Krystal had she not already have been in the hospital with a competent staff at her side, there would likely have been no hope. In [my niece's] dream, I don't know the signifance of 3 babies, nor or the 3rd being on "top" of a coffin. I'd like to think little Addylynn Grace has already cheated death. Whether she's with us a few more days, or weeks, or much longer,... on the time line of eternity, all our lives are but an extremely small speck. Kyrstal only got to touch her baby (through a apecial imobile ncubiator) before the baby was whisk away to another hospital. But she is being moved to the same hospital & I understand a special room is being set up just for momma & baby where they will perhaps have some time to bond and...... Against all odds, we're still praying & believing for a miracle. God allowing her to spend a little more time with us, healing her to live a long fulfilling life, or restoring a genetically ill child to complete health would require no more of a miracle than raising Lazareth from the dead. (John 11:17-46) Nevertheless, this is certainly not the only child or mother to suffer. We're still in shock about the Haiti earthquake tradgety & all the suffering there. Regardless of the outcome, we give thanks & praise for this little child & are believing that her life, regardless of span, will affect positively all the lives she has already touched, including all you prayer warriers. From the above writer's sister: She needs a miracle! Our prayers are bombarding Heaven for her. It hurts so bad to see her, so little and helpless and to see my daughter Krystal to have to hurt so bad. February 2, 2010 For the desperate need of a financial miracle!

I do not have the vocabulary to say thank you in an appropriate way, and cannot over estimate what your prayerful support has meant to us in our dark days. When all seems lost, someone hearing your voice and offering hope with faith and confidence is inestimable, and makes me realize what a privilege it is to be part of the Christian family that loves and cares for each other. I thank Him with all my heart for sending you to us in our need, and pray that He will richly bless you for your love and kindness to us.

I am 44 years old and I live in Albuquerque,New Mexico,USA. ... A few years ago I put something on my face that was homemade and supposed to be good for the skin. It actually caused a small tiny bit of damage back then but over the years the skin on my face has gotten worser and worser.

Pray for God to take away the scars, deep skin craters, blemishes, imperfections, uneven skin layers, off the skin on my face and to make them vanish and disappear in Jesus name.

September 24, 2007 For the healing of an injured son, and that justice be done on his behalf Thank you for all your prayers. Please continue to pray for my son who suffered a spine injury after being maliciously hit. He is eight-years-old and often suffers a lot of pain. Please ask God to heal him 100 percent. Please also request justice on his behalf. Please pray that all who were involved would be dealt with by our Lord and Savior as well as the legal system. I am also asking for peace and protection for myself and my family. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers. We really need and appreciate it. September 25, 2007 More prayer is needed, as the situation escalates I don't mean to over burden you. I realize I asked you to pray for me just two days ago, but, to my amazement, I didn't know what I was really asking you to pray for when I reached out to you. Today was what I call one of the worst days of my life. I had to pull all three of my children out of school today after receiving a call from my son, who I asked you to pray for. He was crying, and the principal was trying to snatch the phone from him when he called me. I could hear her trying to over talk him, and now he tells me that he made two attempts-she kept taking the phone from him and hanging up. He was calling because one of the student aids tried to hurt him. He has been harassed so much since his football injury. It's because we are suing the league, and some people are standing up for the league by marking me and my children because we are suing. Nobody cares that he has a fractured spine or about all of his suffering. The people from the league have fooled many innocent people into believing we are bad people. I just feel bad because my children are suffering. My oldest son came home and complained that another student aide put her fist up at him while making a mean face. My other son complained that he was shoved by the same student aide that yanked on my son's arm. This all happened on the same day that the league was served with papers. I don't feel safe. I don't want to send my children back too school. I am prepared to home school them. But I don't know where to begin. I am truly overwhelmed. Please petition God Almighty on our behalf, and ask him for fairness and justice. Most of all, I need guidance and direction on where to move and have peace. Please pray for us. Please pray that God will grant favor to us and deal with the evil that has been conspired against us and those involved, for vengeance is the Lord's. September 29, 2007 Astoundingly, from bad to worse! Thank you so much for responding to my requests. I actually went to the police department to fill out a police report. After one of the officers listened to my son's elaborate account of what happened, his only question was, "Are there any marks?" I allowed my son to take off his shirt, and allowed the officer to look over my son's arm where he was pulled, and the officer said, "Hold on a minute. I have to speak with my supervisor." When he came back to where we were standing, he said, "There is nothing we can do." And then he said that I should take it up with the school district. I tried to persuade him to let us make a report, but the Holy Spirit was telling me to go in peace. We left, and on Thursday I received a call from the assistant superintendent of schools telling me that the school would offer my boys a home study program. I told her my boys should be able to go to school and feel safe like all the other children, and not be threatened, bullied, or intimidated. She reminded me that these absences would be unexcused. Two of my children have been having nightmares about the people involved, and my son who was hurt is still complaining about pain in his arm along with the already existing pain on his back. God was telling me not to settle for not being able to file a police report. So I called the child abuse hotline. When I spoke with a representative from that department, she said that there was nothing they could do unless there were marks. She also said that they normally deal with domestic abuse, but then she immediately asked, "Why don't you just fill out a police report?" When I told her that I tried and what happened, she had me call a police department in the county. When I told them what happened, a commander told me to "hang up right now" and to call my local police station back, ask for the watch commander on duty, and to tell him I want to file a police report now. I did that, and he said, "We can send a car out to your home right now to take a statement." So, I have also taken the necessary steps to file a complaint against the school district with the Department of Education. Thank you for listening. I appreciate you interceding for me, and praying for miracles in my life. My faith is strong. I am going to let them start some kind of counseling or therapy since they just seem to be afraid of things and the repeated negative dreams, etc. October 1, 2007 Prayer for emotional trauma Just wanted to let you know how things are going. Thank you for your sincere prayers. This time I am sending a specific prayer request regarding this situation and burden you have shared with me. Today, I couldn't help but feel so much anger toward the people involved. I have never felt this type of animosity toward anyone. See, my sons have been suffering horrible nightmares recently. The one that really haunted me was my oldest: about the principal of the school grabbing him by his neck, hanging him in her office, and beating him with a hammer in his back. She is the one that would not let him call home after what he went through at school. I think what really made me angry was when I spoke to the vice principal. I couldn't help but sense fear in her today. She witnessed a lot of what happened, but I can't help be concerned that I will not be able to count on her during the investigation. She has only had her position as vice principal for a year, while the head principal has only had her position for about seven months. I am afraid that the truth will not come out, and that the school board will just try to cover up this, just like they've done before over other things to protect their reputation. These emotions started to consume me today. I realized that I was not trusting God. My fear is that these people will get away with the pain and suffering they've caused my children. Please pray for my strength, that I will sincerely be able to say, "It is well with my soul." I feel overwhelmed and anxious, and I want peace for myself and my family whether there is justice or not. I am contemplating contacting the media. I think as a parent that the feelings and instinct to protect is normal. Please pray that I will be able to discern how God wants me to go forth: whether or not the media is necessary, or whether we should just move and be more careful about where we move. I am so sorry to say that all American towns are not for all nationalities. I think I have said enough. I have decided so far that my children will not return to that school, and I will continue to pursue my legal options. But none of that will take away what my oldest and my two other sons have been through. Thank you for interceding for me. I need all the prayer I can get. I truly want to give this to God and leave it with Him. October 12, 2007 More prayer needed as the writer begins taking steps toward healing Hopefully, I have found the right doctors and attorney for myself and my children. Please continue to pray for my wisdom and patience. It is so hard when unexpected events happen in your life, and all you know is that you need help, and sometimes we end up in the wrong hands. I believe I have found the right combination for the legal and medical needs of myself and my family. Please also ask God to help me with getting fully set up with home schooling. I am resting in the Lord, but I have to admit that I am awfully tired these days. Please continue to pray for my strength and discernment concerning these circumstances. Thank you once again for your intercession. Please pray also that God will give the lawyers and doctors wisdom. November 3, 2007 Prayer is still needed! I just wanted to begin by saying thank you once again for all of your intercession on my and my family's behalf. I don't know how I could have made it this far without your diligence. I would like to make a few more prayer requests, if that's all right. My oldest son is having a really difficult time wearing the brace that he is required to wear for at least six more months. I try to explain to him that the brace it used to correct the damage that was done. As I told you before, when he is weary and when he cries, I just get so mad. I want to lash out at the people responsible for this. I try to encourage him in the Lord, and remind him that this is not permanent. Please keep him and the rest of our family in your prayers where this is concerned. Also we are in the process of relocating. I am praying that God will give me discernment with a regards to finding a community that will be the right fit for my family. Please pray, as we begin to research schools for the children, that God will guide us in the right direction. As you can imagine, we have also suffered financial hardship with my husband being the only one working since I had to stop working. The unemployment process has been difficult. The eligibility worker who is working on my case is being somewhat technical, but I am sure he is just doing his job. It's as if he is trying to find ways to disqualify me because of my son. Even though I have explained that I have my son's childcare secure in the event that I have to work, he is just making it somewhat difficult. Please pray that all will go well with the process. Once again, I truly appreciate your commitment to my and my family's situation. Please let me know if I can pray for anything specific in your life. December 4, 2007 The situation has become more critical than ever My husband and I have agreed on a divorce. I am praying for a peaceful termination of our marriage for our children's sake as well as our own. I am also somewhat intimidated about being a single mother with three children. I was in the process of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. I put my career goals on hold to help him get ahead, but in the end he only ended up lusting after younger single females. I don't hold any animosity or bitterness towards him. It was my choice. I married young and we agreed that I would stay home with the children when we had them. I just pray that God will allow me to knock on the right doors and that He will lead me to people in the industry who will embrace me and allow me to develop as a professional. For my children I just want God to lead us to a good community with good schools. I am also battling with something bad on my credit, which is making it hard for me to get accepted as a renter. Please pray that God will help me deal with that problem and get it removed. Thank you and God bless you January 12, 2008 Cry out to the Lord for her! Hello prayer partners, I want to believe that the worst of the worst is almost over. The sheriff placed an eviction notice on my door yesterday. My son's spine is healing well and we are hoping to avoid surgery. I just need prayer for peace in my life. I also need energy to be able to get through these tough times and not lose hope and faith. Please pray that God will also allow me to prosper and be able to do well as a single mother as I begin going through the divorce process with my husband. I am truly hoping for a brighter future. Please hope and pray this with me. Thank you February 15, 2008 A hopeful possibility, with a road block we need to pray for Dear prayer partners, I am writing you to let you know how things are coming with the boys. I am the one who has been writing you since September after my son suffered a spine injury, and my boys were bullied and harassed at school by two yard duties. In November I told you about how I opted to home school and some of you were very helpful in giving me direction on how to begin the process. Since then, I have researched several private schools and I found one in particular for my oldest boy who will be entering 6th grade in September, 2008. I have begun the process of applying. He takes the entrance exam next Saturday and I have applied for financial assistance. I am writing you all to request prayer as we continue through this process that all will go well. I am having one problem in particular. Several items are required to complete the application process, including letters of recommendation from his math and English teachers for school year 2007-08. I have made contact with the teachers; however, I have not received the letters. I don't know if the school district is discouraging them from providing this document for my son because of the pending complaint I have against the school district (but that's more than likely). I would just like to ask you all to pray for my son as he goes through the process and that, if need be, God will give me the words to speak when I have to explain to the Admissions Director why I have been unable to attain these two items. The truth is that he got very good grades while with these two teachers and he did display characteristics of a model student. He has never had any disciplinary problems. I just know that with God all things are possible. Please keep this in prayer. I have sent e-mails to the teachers, but one of them told me they have not received anything. I know for certain that the e-mail is screened. I have left messages. One of the teachers said that she will write the letter, but I haven't heard back from her. Please ask God to be in the midst of this and that my son will be blessed to have the education he desires and that I desire for him. Sorry if I was too long-winded. I just wanted to give you all of the details. Thank you. November 11, 2008 Prayer for financial devastation From the Web master: It's been awhile since I've heard from her ... I had hoped everything was going better for her and her three sons. She's having to write bad checks to feed her kids. Please pray! I am need of a car and a financial increase. I am overwhelmed with debt. I know I am not the only one. I just became a single mother this year and I have written several bad checks to a grocery store. I know it was wrong, but I don't want to go to jail. The rental car that I have has to be turned in by Friday or it will be reported stolen. Please also pray that corruption will not have the victory with regards to my uncle's estate. I need and appreciate your intercession and will be faithful to make a donation when this money finally comes. I just got a second job. ... Please pray for financial blessings for me and my children. Thank you. December 26, 2008 Pray for her strength, her health, her peace, her sanity ... pray for her sons ... please keep praying! Hope you all had a blessed time celebrating our Lord and Savior's birth. I am really experiencing a lot of strife and am asking for your immediate prayer intercession. There is tension and discord coming from every direction. My children's father who I am in the process of divorcing is doing things like agreeing to take the kids this morning at ten o'clock, knowing that I have to be to work this morning at eleven o'clock, and then canceling at the last minute -leaving me to either call "out of work" because the kids are out of school, or scramble to find a babysitter at the last minute. Well they are eleven, nine, and eight, and I only had to go in for a half day, but I was back by one. He calls me at exactly eleven, and says, "Let me speak to the kids." It's as if he knew I would either call "out of work" or have to leave them at home. He did all he could to find out if I went to work, and who took care of the kids. He is intentionally not paying child support just so that I will eventually fail and not be able to pay my bills and possibly lose them to him. I am trying to keep my eyes on the Lord and not let the devil get a foothold so that I don't give place to resentment, bitterness, and anger toward him. I am finally learning to pray for him. I need you all to pray for me. I was also tested at work today by another employee. With all that I am dealing with, I did not hold my tongue and we did get into a spat. I didn't want to argue with her but she just kept coming at me with so much negativity. Please pray for my job security because she is in really good with the bosses. I feel very weak physically and emotionally. Please pray for my strength and peace for me. Thank you. February 5, 2009 Pray needed TODAY! Just thought I would put a quick email for prayer. I have divorce court tomorrow. Please pray for my strength and that all will go well and work out for the best. Thank you. August 11, 2009 Her problems continue. Please don't forget her! Please pray that I will find employment and be able to take care of myself and my boys. Please also pray for success for my unemployment appeal hearing. If all goes well the umemployment judge will agree that I should be back paid since May for umemployment from my previous employer. The hearing is August 14, 2009. Thank you and God bless you. September 2, 2009 She is still living in faith. Pray she continues to. God rewards faith. Dear prayer partner, I know there is so much need all over the world. I feel like I am imposing with my prayer needs compared to what millions of others are going through. If you could please intercede for me and my boys for the month of September. If I could have one prayer request met it would be to be able to pay September's rent. I am owed three months of unemployment. I had to go to unemployment court to appeal EDD's decision that I was not eligible for unemployment. I won in court on August 14. Now my former employer is appealing, which is holding up the checks. Then the lawyer who was representing me just died last week, and we were supposed to go back to court on September 9. Now it has been pushed to October 13. I feel like I have exhausted loans from everyone I know just to stay afloat. On top of that, I am seeking employment like so many others. God has not let me fail thus far. I come to you once again asking for your intercession to make it through September with my boys and keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. I am also renting a car. Please pray for a financial breakthrough. Thank you so much. Enjoy your holiday and I'll be sure to give you a praise report. October 13, 2009 Her problems continue. Please keep praying! Dear prayer partner, I am still continuing to endure much hardship financially. I know I am not the only one. I am praying for a miracle so that I can pay my rent. My lease will be up at the end of November and that is when I can get out of if without being charged early termination fees that will result in something derogatory on my credit. I am still seeking job opportunities. Everything went well in child support court last week. The judge did not reduce the child support order of $579 a month. However, he is over $3000 in the rears. My unemployment has run out and I am waiting for my first extention. Please pray for my strength to be able to trust God for yet another miracle. Thank you again. October 15, 2009 The prayers of the righteous availeth much! I was able to borrow the money yesterday and the rent is paid! Praise God. Thank you so much for the intercession. I am on my way to a job interview which I am very optimistic about. I just wanted to also pass along to this prayer list that I receive weekly regarding the sufferings Christians are enduring in other parts of the world. Thank you again. November 11, 2009 We need to pray she receives a permanent solution to her financial problems. These have been going on for a very long time for her. I am sorry that I didn't ask for your intercession sooner. Deep down I think I just didn't want to bother you again with the same old request. I have to get the rent paid by 5:00 pm PST today. Please send up a prayer on my behalf and also pray for me to get a job. November 12, 2009 Yay! Here is her praise report! Praise God the rent is paid. We made it just short of them filing eviction. It helped that yesterday was a holiday and banks were closed. Thank you once again for your intercession. December 2, 2009 Again, we need to pray for her current needs as well as a permanent solution Dear Christian Partner, All I want this holiday season is to be able to pay rent. My rent has been raised to $1500.00. There is a ray of hope. Meaning that I interviewed yesterday for a property manager position. If they hire me then I can move, have a job and be done with the stress of not knowing how I will keep a roof over me and my children's heads. The company is being so nasty that they have already given me a 3 day notice and today is only the 2nd of December. I couldn't sleep last night. I am trying to apply faith instead of fear but I guess I get mixed up in the reality of it all. Truth is, I have experienced eviction and desperitely dread and fear it. I am diligently seeking the Lord for the property management position. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you for seeing me through months of miracles and prayers. December 3, 2009 Some good news: She has a second interview tomorrow! Praise the Lord, Just got a call. 2nd interview is this Friday 9:30 am. Please be in agreement for me with me. Love you. Faith is strong. Can't wait to give you the praise report December 4, 2009 Hope deferred ... keep praying! I was on my way to the interview at 8:00 am this morning and received a call that they had to reschedule until next Monday at 9:30 am. Please continue to pray. Love you. December 8, 2009 Keep praying! I felt it went OK. They are looking to fill the position by the end of the month. The position has been vacant for three months. ????????? Because I have worked in property management for a long time. I am picking up that not filling the position has something to do with budget and/or bonus. The interview I had last week with the VP went really well. The interview I had yesterday seemed somewhat negative. Meaning the person interviewing me is the area manager (the one I would be reporting to) She seemed to try to look for and focus on whatever weaknesses she could find as opposed to all experience and strengths I have. I will just continue to pray about it and keep looking. I just didn't feel very optimistic with her and there seemed to be some tension between her and the VP. Whatever God's will is. Thank you for praying and for following up. Will keep you posted. December 14, 2009 I so admire her faith. Again, I ask you to pray for a permanent solution to her problems. Still haven't heard anything from the other interview. I am very excited about an interview I have tomorrow with a company that I interviewed with in the summer but the position turned out to be an in house transfer and of course they have to give first consideration and hire within. I was actually praying yesterday morning and like 30 seconds later the phone rang. I have never receiced a call on a Sunday for an interview. She said they still had my resume on file from the previous interview. What's even more exciting is that the position will be in the city that I already live in so my children won't have to transfer schools and they can stay stable. I am keeping the faith. The position won't start until mid January. I am just trusting God. It looks like my landlord is gonna have to file eviction cause December's rent is not paid. Keep in my that my landlord is also my previous employer who wrongfully terminated me. My attorney is on top of it. He said that this will be part of the damages compensation. I just did'nt want my credit to be effected that's why I have been trying to hang in there. I have borrowed from everyone I can think of and can't wait to be able to pay back everyone who has stood by me. The interview is 10:00 tomorrow PST for a position in Woodland Hills, CA. Thank you for joining me in prayer once again. December 22, 2009 She's still standing in faith. Keep praying! I felt the interview went well. I got the eviction notice for December on my doorstep tonight but it says that the judge stamped it December 17th. I have to go to court tomorrow to file for a hearing but they (the management company are not playing fair) Please pray that the judge will grant me favor tomorrow and that I may get a hearing date which will by me sometime to keep from getting locked out. I just have to find out what my rights are. Thank you for all your prayers. Normally I would be crying but I just can't cry for some reason. I am so focused but I know I would feel better and more at peace if I could just get a job. December 23, 2009 Alone on Christmas, on top of her other problems. Pray that God gives her peace at this time, and hope for her future. I felt it went well. The property is scheduled to open January 15, 2009. They are going to send me for a drug test next Monday. They will also being doing my background check. The only thing I'm concerned about it this recent eviction filed by my previous employer/landlord. I am sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Yesterday I was at the court house all day filing my answer to the eviction notice. That kind of drained me. My kids are with their dad until Sunday so I am just now waking up. I don't mean to speak negative but I am a bit down in the dumps about the eviction with concerns with my credit. I am not trying to give into fear. I just feel like it's hard to live until there is something to look forward to. Please just pray for my strength and faith. Love you and will keep you posted Thanks. January 18, 2010 God hears our prayers. He is with her, and we must continue to pray for her situation. Yesterday I received a call from the first job I asked you to pray about where I interviewed on December 1st and then the 2nd interview was cancelled and rescheduled for the 7th of December but I told you about the vibe I was picking up from the person who I interviewed with (this position has been empty going on 4 months) She called yesterday to see if I could come in yesterday or today. I said to day because it was short notice and I wouldn't be able to make arrangements for the kids to get picked up from school withing 2 hours. She said she would call me back to schedule a time for tomorrow but still has not called. ( I did a follow up call this morning to the regional manager who I had the first interview with to express interest) Still haven't heard anything. I just spoke with a landlord/tenant attorney who can help me with the eviction I am facing. He explained that I he can stretch this out for about 4-6 months! I have to give him a retainer equal to one months rent. I have eviction court on Tuesday January 19th. He is also a Christian who ended up ministering to me about putting this in God's hands and told me that worrying is choosing fear instead of faith. He said that it is not him who is going to help me keep a roof over my head but it's the Lord and that he is just doing what God instructs him to do on my behalf. I don't know why I waited so long to call him. I kept thinking I can't afford an attorney. I just kept praying for a place to live or another property management job. God doesn't do things the way we envision it all the time. Because he is sovereign He does things His way. My job is to trust. I know you have been conveying this same message to me over the past few months. With the holidays and being sick on top of everything I just wanted to sleep and became depressed. My faith is restored. I don't know what He is going to do with this eviction. I don't know where or when He will put me back to work but He is not gonna see me homeless. Right now I am so humbled because I know I have the necessities that so many children and adults don't have in Haiti which is already a poor country. I am so filled. This is my praise report now. I am celebrating that I have hope and faith and that I don't have to wait to see the end results. Thank you for your prayers. I love you in Christ. Amen. January 29, 2010 PRAISE GOD! He hears our prayers! She stood on faith, and I'm smiling all over! Well things don't always happen the way we think it should as I said before. I eventually stopped looking for "another" job as a property manager. Prior to getting into real estate I worked for US Airways. After 9/11/2001 I lost my job through furlough and finally being laid off in 2002. My heart was broken because it wasn't as simple as getting "another" airline job. All the airlines were struggling and even if I could get another airline job, I would have to start all over at the minimum pay scale. By that time I was 30 with 3 children and too much responsiblity to start all over. I abandoned that career and pursued real estate. Well you know the story of that! Last week I applied for a job as a travel agent for Viking River Cruises. I got the job. Pay is great. Hours will accomadate my committment to my children and I think there is a legal strategy that will get me 3-5 additional months where I am living without paying. How's that for getting back on your feet? Don't get me wrong, I am not planning to stay and be a burden to my landlord/previous employer. I don't want to block my blessings. But I can't go if I don't have anywhere to go. I will go when God is ready for me to go! It's all becoming so clear. I just have to have faith and trust in Him! I start with Viking on Monday February 1st. All friends and family get 50% discounts. Let me know if you plan on taking a cruise. Love you much in the Lord. Note from the Webmaster: If you do want to take a cruise, email me and I'll act as liason between you and this dear lady. February 12, 2010 For God to continue to provide for her, and for her to keep standing strong While I am praising Him on one hand for my job I am continually praying about the eviction problem. My son found the note on my door today saying that we had to vacate by the 16th of February. I don't have money to move but I have a lawyer that may be able to get me an additional 4-6 weeks. Please pray for this miracle. I filed my income tax rapid refund but it doesn't look like I will get it until after the 16th. My lawyer tried to ask them to give me until February 25, 2010. I am praying that he will be able to do something that will grant me additional time to save up money and move in peace and order. The name of the management company is Jones and Jones management. ... I have prayed that God would prick her heart because of the way she treats her employees. You may remember that I was wrongfully terminated. Please pray that it will be God's will for me and my children to leave on God's time and if the 16th is His time that he will make provisions for me to move and not have to put my stuff in storage and deal with motels or shelters or whatever. My faith is strong. I feel like this is the last hurdle. Thank you again. February 12, 2010 Follow-up request Just wanted to keep you up to speed. My attorney is about to go to the court to file what's called an "ex parte motion for extension of time based on a hardship". This will give me an additional 30 days which would be the perfect amount of time for me to have things in order and move out. The judge does not have to agree to this. Please pray that he will grant my petition via my attorney. The only problem is that the courts are closed today and Monday is a holiday and I am scheduled to be locked out on Tuesday which is the soonest it can be heard by the judge. I just have to have faith. I have no where to go. Please stand in agreement with me for this miracle. Thank you so much. February 18, 2010 Pray for a miracle in this matter, and that she continues to stand in faith and have peace I am sorry you haven't heard from me. The judge did not grant the emergency hearing and I was moving my things into storage last Tuesday. Please pray that apartment I am applying for will get approved by some miracle. My credit is challenged and the system that they used to qualifyme "declined" me but the manager will take a closer look but might require a hight security deposit. I just want to stop wasting money in motels. ... [T]hey are in an area that will allow me to keep the boys in the same school. Please pray that God will grant me favor. Thank you Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I am at the library writing you before they close. Thank you so much. March 11, 2010 Praise report and a prayer request for a permanent solution to her financial problems Well we are out of the motel and into another apartment. The temporary job assignment that we prayed for a month ago has ended. Of course I am trying not to panic as I think about staying afloat with April's rent coming up. Thank you for your divine intercession. I ask that you please pray that I am able to get a permanent opportunity through a company called Nelson Staffing. I spoke with a guy named Tramaine Lozano a few minutes ago who says he'll get back to me about setting up an interview. March 20, 2010 Prayer for her sons and continued financial blessing Could I please ask you to pray for my sons ... I had a disturbing dream. God gave me the gift of dreams ever since I was a child. They are with their father this weekend. I have heard through the grapevine that he is somehow connected to drugs. I can't prove anything. I don't know that prayer changes things and that when 2 or more are touching and agreeing that He is in the midst. I know that my boys are precious gifts from God that He has lended them to me and that they are His children as well. Please stand with me in agreement for God to place and keep a hedge of protection around them and that they will return to me safely. Please also pray for their father. Also I have been offered another job. It starts April 5th. Please pray that somehow I will be able to borrow the money until I get my first paycheck for April's rent. I know it's just the testing of my faith. Thank you and love you much in Christ Jesus. April 13, 2010 Prayer for balance of rent and electric bill Dear Friend, This month I have paid $900 toward April's rent. I still owe $450. I get paid the 15th and the 30 of every month. My electric is also due. Please pray for my miracle that God will make a way for me to cover both and I am also renting a car. I don't know how it will work out but I know there is power in prayer when two or more touch and agree. Please pray specifically for Esther ... and her three boys. Thank you April 16, 2010 Prayer for justice! I know I am always asking for prayer. I am going through something that I have talked about from time to time but have sometimes given up. I would like to ask you to join me in prayer regarding this situation. It's regarding my uncle who died April 21, 2007. There has been so much corruption surrounding not only his estate but others like him who have died intestate. The government is greedy. It will be 3 years next week since he died. This office in the Bronx has done all kind of underhanded things to rob my sister and I of our inheritence. Thank you for your intercession and thank you for taking the time to read this letter. April 20, 2010 For a specific, timely need Thank you so much for your constant intercession. I know that the fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much. Could I just ask one more prayer request. I have an interview on Friday the 23rd in Palo Alto which is about 380 miles from me. I am trying to get a plane ticket or money for gas. Could you please touch and agree with to not only get to the interview but that God will hold this job as property manager at Courtyard at Bay Road apartments just for me. Thank you April 23, 2010 She has had such a long struggle. Please pray for a permanent solution to her financial problems. Please touch and agree with me in prayer for a job that is better paying. It's ... today Thank you for your intercession May 25, 2010 She's still hurting and in trouble ... please do not give up praying for her! Dear Prayer Partner, I want to be detailed without being to long winded. I have to go to court on Friday May 28th in dealing with my ex-husband (children's father) who I had to get a temporary restraining order against due to him beating up my son. He has only been ordered to pay $579 a month FOR THREE KIDS! ! He refuses to pay. Instead he does things to incriminate himself like work under the table and collect unemployment AND STILL NOT paying. I have just been asking God to just bless me to make enough money on my own so that I won't feel provoked into being bitter towards him for my financial struggles. Instead I am out of work. My car has died. I've been renting a car since February but now I can't even afford to do that. It's hard to get around by way of public transportation. Could you please pray for the miracle of a car for me? Could you also pray for justice in court on Friday? Most of all, I need a job. I need all three but the one I want the most is a job paying at least $40,000 so I can properly pay my bills and take care of my three boys. ... Thank you so much June 7, 2010 Pray for continued protection for her, and that justice be done Sorry I couldn't get back to you to let you know how everything went in court regarding the temporary restraining order on May 28th. My children's father decided to respond to my petition which the judge granted. Without going into much detail I can tell you that he wrote a 4 page story of lies about me and closed his response by requesting that the judge lift the restraining order due to the fact that I am bi polar and that I don't take my medicine. The judge read this 4 page pack of lies and decided NOT to lift the restraining order. I do not have bi polar disorder and if I did I would not be afraid to admit it because my mother has bi polar and it is not her fault. It's a mental condition. I have never known anyone who had the guts to submit a document to the court, to the judge that is lies. I would be afraid of contempt. My children have been assigned to a minor's counsel who I've spoken to briefly over the phone and he seems really nice. His name is Steven Spinella. His job is to meet with the children and see how their feeling about their life and make a recommendation to the judge. This has been a very challenging time on top of my financial challeges. I know that it has been the prayers of the righteous that all of the intercession and God's mercy and grace that has gotten me through. Would you please join me in praying for continual protection for me and my children and that the judge will have the dicernment to find out that he submitted lies about me and just pray for me to be able to provide them with a more quality life. I am thankful as I know that many all over the world are without food, shelter and clothing. I know I am blessed in spite of all that I am going through. I just want some relief. Thank you June 10, 2010 Emergency, specific prayer needed for her now! Please accept my emergency prayer request for 2 things. 1) I have been without a car for a month and it looks like I could be getting one today if all goes well 2) a job that I will be interviewing for as a travel agent which will allow me to also still work from home on the home based business travel venture 3) I am requesting an advance from my uncle's estate. Hopefully it will go through. Please be in agreement with me June 15, 2010 Follow up to the previous ... please pray for good news, and that she stays strong as she has to wait! Dear Prayer Partner, The person who makes the decisions regarding approval was out sick today. I am praying for this persons health and that he or she comes to work tomorrow and will approve this loan in Jesus name. Please continue to agree with me Thank you June 16, 2010 No news is good news ... again, pray for her patience and for good news! It was just submitted to the underwriters this afternoon. Hoping and praying to know something tomorrow. Love you much in the Lord June 18, 2010 Update ... pray as well for her faith to be strong Lender needed more documents from my attorney. My attorney sent them over immediately. Still waiting. Please pray that God will allow my landlord to hold off until this loan comes through. I was just evicted this past February. I know... " He may not be there when you need Him but He's right on time". I realize His ways are not our ways for He is sovereign. Had court today regarding the restraining order I had to get against my son's father. Come to find out he never even signed his name to all of the lies he submitted to the court regarding my petition for the restraining order. He actually submitted an unsigned copy of his lies to the court which would protect him from being contempt of court or perjury. Well the judges clerk made him sign it today. The judge put off the hearing until next Friday. God is good in spite of all I am going through. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it has been the fervent prayer of the righteous that has gotten me through. It's a wonder I'm still in my right mind. Thank you Have a blessed and wonderful weekend June 22, 2010 Praise God! Good news at the end of a very stressful day for her! June 22 Email 1 Could you please lift me up in prayer. I am trying not to get depressed. Please pray that this loan decision does not linger and that the lenders will say yes Thank you June 22 Email 2 I just received a call from the lender. Apparently the person who can verify my heirship to my uncle is giving them a tough way to go. He works for the public administrators office. He and several other villains have been the reason my uncle's estate has been held up for the past 3 years. The lender just simply needs him to acknowledge my sister and I as the only next of kin and he won't do it. We have provided all kinds of proof for them. The only thing I can think of is that they have tapped into unauthorized amounts of my uncle's money as they have other innocent victims who have died without wills. Please pray that the wicked will not have their way any longer. Please pray [the men] involved in this corruption. I am crying out for justice but more importantly to be able to pay my bills. Please pray that this ceases. I don't want to give into anger, bitterness and discouragement. Thank you for your fervent prayer. Please pray specifically for God to move this mountain. The estate I am talking about is that of my uncle. Thank you June 22 Email 3 Well God knows what we need. I asked for $10,000 and they came back with an approval for $5,000. I am greatful. I can pay my rent and some bills. Sigh of relief! June 27, 2010 A lovely, faith-filled, update I have been able to catch up on my bills. I am so relieved. God is good. Always on time. Peace and many blessings! July 24, 2010 A lovely, still faith-filled, request Dear Prayer Partner, I've had some relief since I last wrote to you about the loan. A whole month. Unfortunately the at home travel business is not working out but I am a strong candidate for a position as a property manager which is what I really enjoy doing because it allows me to be there for the boys after school and deal with homework and provide dinner in a timely fashion as opposed to the hustle and bustle of getting them to school by 7 so that I can get to work by 8 and piccking them up at 6 because I don't get off till 5. It's a good position that pays pretty decent and offers a free apartment so that I am not constantly stressed about the rent. But overall, I cannot complain. I feel guilty even asking for prayer with all that is going on in the world. I feel like God has better things to tend to. I just wanna stay humble and be able to take care of these boys Thank you again I reserve the right to edit submissions to some extent for length or clarity, and to remove proper names and/or edit some requests at my discretion for the sake of privacy and to protect the very people who send the requests, but it is not my intention to alter the original text to deviate from its original meaning.
