Natalie has left a new comment on your post "To Request Prayers":

I am amazed that I stumbled on this website. I do believe in P.U.S.H.(PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS) I am 25, and I went through health issues with a cancerous tumor this year. And I am grateful to say God healed me. I give all the glory to him. I prayed and fasted like I have never done.

Today I am going through a tough time in my life. I have been talking to this man for a while, whom I believe is a good man of God, and we have been heading in the path of relationship(thats how I saw and understood his actions). Now, is seems he's scared of committment. We had a big argument 6 weeks ago, and since then things haven't been the same. There's just been tension. I had a feeling he would be the one for me. And I don't know if I am losing hope/faith in what I though would have turned into marriage and lasted forever, or he's just not the one.

Please pray for me, as I don't know what to pray for at times. Should I pray for him(as in our relationship), or should I move on. I have been crying because I don't know what to do as I really like this man.

I read stories of marriages healed, and I am hopeful. But I don't know what I should be hopeful for apart from I know and believe in my heart that God will work it all out. Please pray for me. Please pray for peace for me, please pray for me to hear God when he talks to me. Please pray for the right man to come into my life. Please pray for the right man to be a man of God, who would love me like the love in 1st Corinthians 13, and for him not to be scared. for I know the Bible says true love casts out fear. Please pray for me... I really need your prayers. Maybe this man is the man for me, and if/when he comes back, please pray for my heart to be soften and be able to take him with all his flaws, and even though I am very hurt right now, let me be healed from his hurt. Please pray for me. Thanks.

We'll be praying for you, Natalie.

Pray for Healing in a Relationship

The following prayer request was left in the comments:

I'd like to request your prayers and intentions for reconciliation between myself and my significant other, LH. God has made it clear to me that this man is my partner and husband. We had a serious rift in our relationship a little over a month ago. Since then we have re-connected but not truly reconciled fully in love and truth, in large part because of our past hurts and fears to truly love again. I ask that you pray that God heal our union, strengthen our love, and rebuild, restore and transform our friendship and relationship into one of harmony, love, mutual respect, commitment and joy. May we transcend our fears and be all that God has created us to be together.
Thank you so much for your prayers. love, F.

Pray for Renewed Love Between Sisters

Maricar has left the following prayer request:

Hi! Please help pray that the Lord will grant reconciliation between me and my younger sister. We had a misunderstanding and despite my attempts of trying to reconcile with her (though it isn't really my fault), she's still acting cold towards me and her actions and facial expressions show that she's not happy to have me around. I don't know what else to do. I've done everything I could, even swallowing my pride, to bring peace between the 2 of us but she isn't responding well. My sister means a lot to me and I hate to see my mom sad that we aren't getting along well. It pains me too that she doesn't seem to respect me as her older sister and that she just let a small misunderstanding ruin our relationship. I'm sick and tired of always crying and feeling sad about this. Please help me pray. Thank you.

Prayers for my sister

Please keep my sister in your prayers. She just received news that her breast mammogram and ultrasound look very suspicious for a malignancy that may have even already spread. We just lived through the cancer death of my mother and so this new news is a little hard to take.

Bad News about one friend, good about another

Brian has been in hospital for 2 months after neck surgery..looks like they either didn't do a great job on his neck surgery...or PT was too soon. He's back at square one, needing 2 neck surgeries, one from the front and one from the back - withing days of each other. We're all sick about it.
Please pray that he'll have peace and feel the Lord's strength with him.

Bob is now in the Step-down unit from ICU! He'd love for the traech to be out so he can talk and eat normally. We're so very thankful for his apparent progress.

Pray for Help for Life Problems

Rafaelle left the following prayer request:

Please pray for the people that are hurting and working against Rafael and I reconciling the love we share. Please grant him the vision and wisdom to overcome his pride and return home with the little guy who is the world to me. Please also pray that I find and can afford a more suitable place to live and that the money to do so comes quickly and I am successful in getting rid of any access in my life that is blocking my happiness. Please pray for the owners of this place I live in now that they stop harrassing and intimidating and that the real estate agent finds greater peace in her life too and discontinues disrupting my life and others and becomes more focused on positive resolutions instead of anger and hate. Most of all give me strength, wisdom and courage and...patience to do the right thing and have faith as I did when I met Rafael and our life was so full of joy, respect and love. Amen

Prayers needed for 3 people

I don't know what's going on in this world, but....
We have one friend, Brian, recovering from neck surgery and complications. He can't walk on his own yet, though is doing well in rehab.
A friend, Bob, is in a coma after brain surgery - prayers for his family too, please.
A friend's sister, JoAnn, has multiple cancers.

Thank you
UPDATE, 10/6:

Heard from Bob's wife...he's responding to family, opening his eyes, etc. Tests look good, tumor is all out. But he has a temp and low BP. We also need to know for sure that he has no impairment from the surgery.

TY for all the prayers! His wife is so appreciative.

URGENT Prayers Needed

This anonymous comment was left under "To request prayers"

I've prayed and it doesn't work, i have scoliosis and am going to commit suicide! I am serious!

I don't know the mind of God. I don't know why some prayers seem to get the desired answers and some do not. I do believe that God does not forsake anyone but that it is sometimes difficult to see and understand that. Please do not harm yourself. God Loves You. Many people love you. And now many more people are praying for you.

RIP Ryan - and Prayers for a Special Family

I was heartbroken to turn on the computer this afternoon and discover that Mary Ellen Barrett's fourteen-year-old son Ryan had disappeared while on a father-son camping trip.

I was devastated to learn a short while later that Ryan had drowned.

Please pray for the repose of Ryan's soul and for this very special family in their time of sorrow.

And go hug your kids.

Pray for Easing of Various Problems

Rafaelle left the following prayer request in the comments:

I am asking for prayers that firstly, I get out of this financial stress, that has befallen me due to some mean-spirited people who used the tax department and other means to create strife and stress in my partner's and my life. It eventually lead to our break up; and everytime it looked like we were going to find some way to sort out things and get back together, these few people cast more stones and of late, told my partner that I had turned him into Child Services, which is outrageous considering his is the finest father I know and his son is extraordinary. Rafa thought I might have done this out of hurt for not seeing him or his son after the split, but it is simply not even a consideration, as I will do anything for these 2 fine men. Also hurt and doubt have come to his family about me, as these other people have spun such a web of nonsense. The people are an ex-wife, and ex-girlfriend, a secretary and a person who is insanely jealous of me, and combined they have conspired to split Rafa and I and have been successful. It was so highly organised and they played on weaknesses, call the tax authority, called immigration, called and wrote my employers and people in his office and said gastly things. It all became too much. Unfortunately I am still as is he dealing w/ the fallout and the tax department have gone bloody mad when there is nothing to find. Our accounts have been frozen and has nearly rendered me homeless. Rafa has sold every property he owns and I even borrowed money for cat food...I am extremely hurt and tired. I miss Rafael, his son and his family. I love him and considering what was done, I do not blame him at all understand how he responded. However, there is a greater good and a truth and I ask Dear God that he learns it; as he will not talk or listen to any of my close friends and I don't think they should get involved as he must realise that I love him unconditionally and I would never do such things...and that we can overcome this and he should not be afraid to come back and rekindle, rebuild and celebrate the great love we shared as a family. God please give me strength to come up w/ the money in the few days for my rent, and to have strength to compile the remaining docs for the tax office and see the light at the end of the tunnel. I miss the only true and loving family I know. I understand Rafael's fear but please let him know he has nothing to fear in me. He was an amazing partner. I could not complain. His family are wonderful. Please pray that ego and pride wash away and that he comes home to me. Please help dear God and if all could pray for us and protect us from these people and ask they get their own life, so as to not wish to dismantle and leverage off of ours. We need everyone's prayers, thank you in advance. Amen

Pray for Personal Help

Mary left the following prayer request:

I'm begging for prayers for my boyfriend and best friend M, who has been struggling through a personal crisis and is considering ending our relationship. I've asked for forgiveness for the times I had been selfish and impatient or taken him for granted, and am desperate to find a way to heal our relationship. If you would, please ask Jesus and St. Jude to bless both of us and to help us mend what is broken so that we can be the light and the inspiration to each other that we used to be. I pray that we can go forward thanking Jesus everyday for each other and the incredible gift of love He has given, if it is his will. In Jesus' name. Thank you for your prayers. God bless.

Prayer is Working

Anne F. left the following in comments:

I left my first request for a healing of my relationship with FC at the beginning of June, 2009. One week later there were some signs that our friendship was beginning to heal, and I gave thanks but requested further support. On July 24th our friendship began to be restored to its original joy. We continue to correspond daily now, and there are more and more signs that we will have a complete healing. I give thanks to you all and thanks to God for this change of heart in both of us. Reconciliation and renewal is the essence of Christ's teaching. Please pray with me that our healing continues as our love in friendship continues to grow. Please remove any lingering doubts or fears or lack of trust, for in God is our only trust...and He is eternally faithful. Thank you all.

Prayers work! Keep it up!
