Relationship Problems

AJU has made the following prayer request:

I'm 29 years old (Protestant Christian) currently in a Relationship with a Girl who's 8 yrs my senior, (from a different Christian background), who I want to marry and settle down with by GOD's Grace. But Parents on both sides (my Dad & Mom and her Dad) & Relatives do not agree, (due to the age & background) and don't want us to marry.
We would like to marry & settle down with GOD's Grace & Blessings and Approval of both our Parents, on both sides.

Please pray for us to get married & settled down without any obstruction and for GOD to guide us both through our remaining lives, to treat each other with care, honesty, love, trust & understanding and also for us to remain steadfast in our faith.

Please pray for us, to be Blessed by Our Father's Grace and for his timely intervention, so that we would not have to split up or hurt the Parents on both sides.

Now we have started having problems, she does not see a future for us together & wants to be just Friends (after more than 1 year); as she feels she's hurting me !!! I'm completely broken up inside... I don't want to hurt her or lose her !!! I know she still likes me & is hurting inside... She has taken this decision to save us from the problems she thinks will happen in the future...

Please pray for Our Heavenly Father, to show us the way forward; as we both know if we are in a Relationship today its only b'coz of GOD's Grace & Plan or we would never have met at all in Life !!!

Pray that:
(1) Our Heavenly Father talks to her Heart & makes her understand we both are going to b miserable, if we are not together...
(2) Our Heavenly Father talks to all the Parents & Relatives on both sides and make their Hearts accept us...

New Job Needed

The following prayer request was left by an anonymous poster:

I would like to request prayers for my daughter. She and her husband have become parents to a son this past December. While she presently has a job, she has applied for a new position bringing her closer to home. It would help relief the pressure of a 10 hour day with a shorter compute. Being closer to home would also help her to be more assessible to answer the needs of her child and family. Lord, please bless her with the opportunity of an interview to insure her success. Amen

Prayer for Discernment

If anyone is out there, I ask for your prayers that my family and I will discern God's will for us. We need to come up with the decision today as to which of two houses God wants us to move to. Thank you so much!

Healing in Relationship Needed

Christine left the following prayer request:

Hi all,
I have been struggling with my own prayers and decided to put in a prayer request.

I have separated from a great man in my life that I now believe God has given me since December 2009. While I knew he was the right one, I had allowed negativity to cloud my judgement and behaviour, and led to his departure.

The months that followed, I had agonized and continued to be negative and suspicious of his motives. But praying not only for my recovery but also thanking for him has made me see how much I had meant to him and his efforts to help me. But I was continuously pushing him away. Now that this is clear, all the other issues surrounding us in the past year that I have influence over were also resolved.

I pray for a chance to have him open his heart to me.
I pray for me to have wisdom to see his needs and thoughts.
I pray that we will be open and honest to each other in all circumstances as we are still friends.
I pray that we no longer have to be so withholding about everything, even if it hurts ourselves and the other because honesty would help us grow in the relationship and friendship.
I pray that the love that I now understand and feel albeit delayed, continues to be pure and without greed, jealousy or wrong reasons

Prayer Request for John - "I am Dying"

My friend Ed shared John's story on his blog:

ALS/MND is a terminal disease with no known cure, it can strike women/men in the mid term of their life. Though no reason or why this disease strikes, it is mostly in men. It's nickname is "The Thief", a muscle and nerve disease. It is a breakdown in communication between the brain and nerves that command the muscles. Walking, talking, eating are some of the areas that are affected. Simple things like turning a key, holding a face cloth, taking a shower, dressing/undressing, hands in and out of pockets, buttoning, zippering become major tasks. Everyone is different, but with me, speaking has become labored. Go to my website; Tomorrow is Not Mine check out the variety of links, information and views. If my site can help one person with ALS/MND or someone you might know that might have it, to me it is worth it!

Please pray for my family, and may God have mercy on me.

Lead us all to eternal glory.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Your Son, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
