Prayer Post Part 7
The last several weeks I gave a post to take any prayer request you might have. Sometimes there are people that just have prayer request that they are praying for over and over again. I always say that if you have that prayer request, you should let others know so they can pray for you too. So tonight I want us all to pray for one another. We will list prayer request that are weighing us down. You can list your prayer request and then stop and pray for all the others. If you don’t have time to stop and pray for all the others, you can pray for the person who commented just above you. In fact, if you pray for that person, go to that person’s site and tell them you prayed for them. I cannot promise to return every comment. But I will pray for every request that is left on here. You can even leave the same prayer request again.
One of the Psalms that I love is Psalm 119:14. It says “I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.”
The writer recognized that he needed help from God. He woke up early in the morning to get that help. I think God wants us to “cry for help.” I think He wants us to be totally dependent on Him. He wants us to bring our problems to Him.
So if you have a prayer request, leave it here. Pray for as many as you can. But at least pray for the person above you. If you have time, go tell the person above you that you prayed for them.
Do you have any prayer request?

pray for me to have an easy labor and delivery
That my illness will be healed (bronchitis).
For my grandmother.
i need to pass my classes!!! aghh
But that seemed selfish….and I have sooooooo many other people’s illnesses to pray for: My bro’s ongoing sickness, my grandma’s deal with “shingles,” families in my church which have lost relatives…. When I think of these medical issues, mine pales….And I thank God for a mostly healthy body.
For Paul and Matt Dallman. Their house burned down a week ago. They’re still getting back on their feet with moving in to a house and replacing clothes and furniture.
I have a lot of homework tonight…
Better life at home.
the same thing as last time, if you didnt get shocked and appauled last time here it is
too many, im far too confused as to why this life is soo complicated. about 6 months ago i was the hardcore christian out there to change the world. now im as apathetic and probably more. all of my motavation for all of life is gone. on holloween night i nearly died of an OD. my school is a mess, my home is a mess, my work is a mess, my life is a mess. i feel like giving up. i dont think this will work, but ive tried everything else i can. im willing to give this a try. dont overlook this. please.
Phil

For my family. I just want them to be happy.
i’m not sure
that i have a good future
for gd work in my physics test tomorrow
That I’ll survive 8th grade *makes a face*
Okay, that seemed selfish. I don’t know.
YAY for Wednesday night prayer meeting!!
My prayer is for me (to finish my last final tomorrow), for my family present and future (traveling to Missouri), and for Jonathan (one more day, Baby, and I’m back in your arms!)
I’ll be paying everyone a visit tonight, so look for me!
I have a request that I stay calm during and do well on my Abnormal Psychology final!
I would like to request prayers for my fiancee and the father of my son. He has made some huge steps in overcoming some very serious personal issues but I know he has a long way to go. We could really use some of God’s light in our lives right now.
For my friend Cheyn in Iraq. =)
to concentrate on studying my final right now and the it to be a piece of cake…
also be an instrument of God…
Prayers for all students who are taking finals this week. For a friend who has had a really rough year healthwise and needs to have stomach surgery in the next few weeks. Also prayers for another friend to find calming peace.
pray for sanity in our world.
Please pray for my best friend to know Christ.
For all my friends’ safe journey home for the holidays and for my love and I - that we may have a beautiful celebration of Christ, if only in spirit, since we cannot be together for this year’s Christmas.
A friend from college, Melissa, is in the ICU with a malignant tumor in her head (it’s 3x5x3). She just had a baby two weeks ago. Chemo is not an option for this type of cancer. Radiation may help … everything is vague … her children miss her. It’s a really hard time.
Please prayer for healing, wisdom for the doctors, and comfort and peace for her family. Thanks!
I pray for all those above me. I am not sure if I will have time to go to anyone’s site tonight.
I do not have a prayer request for myself. When I think about it, I have everything I could ever want or need in my life. I will once again pray for the safety of my nephew. I pray that no matter what is going on in is life at the moment that he knows that he is loved. I hope he knows no matter what people say to him no one will ever leave him and he will always be loved.
Erika
I met a new Christian friend tonight who has a daughter who does not know Christ. Her daughter has disconnected herself with her Christian Mom because of it and it has broken her Mom’s heart. Please pray with me for both of them, Tanya and her daughter Susie.
Please pray for my father in law who’s come down with the shingles, and was just recently diagnosed with diverticulitis.
Thanx
That God will provide money for me to go back to school next semester and for the root canal that I’ll be getting soon.
Thanks so much for praying for me, Dan. I really appreciate it.
I pray that all kids be spared from pain, violence, discrimination and the horror of terrorism.
I pray that God will help me in my effort to find Him, and the life that He would choose for me and that He would show me what the next step is,
and I pray that Dan doesn’t leave us because of the critics
I have three..
1problems with my family.. (dad issues, cousin that wont make it to next christmas.. and grandma that just had a stroke..)
2That I will have the strength to reach out and help others more..
3and that the mistake I made that hurt a close friend to be forgotten..
thanks for doing this dan.. I will pray for you, and everyone on this post.
I really really wish to see both of my sons for Christmas. My navy son is about to head out overseas and I need to see him. I want him to be able to make it to his brothers house for christmas …that is where we all will be. If I cannot see him before he heads out…I think I will be devastated.
RYC: No worries…I’m actually quite honored that you would have even considered me. I say…leave it for the younger ones…Im just having a great time making new friends.
That I would be wise in my relationships and that God would keep me safe as I travel…
Also that I would continue to be used by Him to help others.
FIRST!!!! wait, i think im a little late on that one….lol, jk.
that we have a snow day tomorrow. hehe. there’s supposed to be an ice storm on the way in a few hours.
ok, so that isnt a very serious one. but hey, its worth a try, aint it?
thank you. that is a wonderful thing and i will always include you and your circle in my prayers. yes!
Thank you Dan, you bring us all closer every week, Heather
my friends were planning on getting married within 2 years or so, and now their relationship is over. i don’t know if it’s permanent, but i do know that they are both in tremendous pain.
I’d like to pray for the people of Latvia, the people of Lithuania, and the people of Estonia. They do need prayer, to get away from all of these ways they’ve ome up with to hurt and corrupt themselves. It’s awful. It’s very sad.
Please pray for the people of the Baltics.
I really need guidance… I’m starting college and i need to know my purpose in life..
(((I’m praying for all the above as i read them!)))
love
So much to pray for….but mostly, tonight, for all the oppressed people of the world, for the injustice in the world. We so often do not care for our neighbors as we should. God give us the strength to do all things and say all things in LOVE, above all else.
Please pray for my grandfather. He’s 80, and he just fell down the stairs of his home. He can’t walk anymore. Please also pray for all of my friends who are going back home over the holidays and also stressfully finishing up their exams. Someone was praying for me last night. I did so well on my last exams! Thank you!
nonChristian fam again – visiting nonChristian dad in hk (i live in vancouver) soon cause his nonChristian wife just died and we don’t want him to be alone for Christmas (this is the second wife he’s lost to cancer – the first being my mum)
it shook my faith for a while cause i never thought this would happen to me – i thought i would be faithful in prayer He would move in the hearts of all those i love, i wasn’t and He didn’t
for this girl i know. for the christian club at school. that i would feel loved instead of hated.
For all the victims of the recent hurricanes to be reunited with their family members in time for Christmas.
I pray that we allow our prayers to heal
That CCD get the needed money it needs to continue to run it’s programs and help the children.
colleges.
ahg. i recently applied to many and i am oh so worried.
for acceptance from colleges or from my parents when if i don’t make it to the standards and dreams they have set for me.
ps// thank you so much for your entries. they’re all very lovely and inspiring.
my brother in law is in the hospital, he got a blood clot in his leg and it moved into his lung…. they think hes out of the woods for the most part now, but theres still a lot that could go wrong.
What do you need prayed for? I’d be happy to talk to you if something was troubling you.
I’m curious as to what you would think on my newest post about “tolerance”
for the hurt to melt
I have been anxious of late, and my mind has had some knots that have been incredibly difficult to unknot. Please pray that no matter what happens, that I will continue to trust in God with everything in my life. Thank you.
I sing the blues,
but i have never prayed.
my mother.. she has such a hard time right now.. she still hasnt grieved properly for her father, grandmother and grandfathers death.. and her mothers death hit us all so very hard.. any thoughts kept for her will be greatly appreciated
There is a youth group in my town that desperately needs God’s help. Maybe it’s just because I was deeply involved in the most amazing youth group ever, but I can see many people who simply will not come to know Christ as I have in that youth group by doing what they’re doing. There needs to be a change. Please pray that I can be that change and that I can carry out God’s will for that group of unknowingly desperate kids.

i pray for a finnancial blessing.
My dad’s been struggling with cancer for a long time, of which I’ve written about quite a bit on Xanga as of late. He and my mom could both use prayer.
my friend mark. his kidney’s are failing. a few nights back his heart stopped beating for about 30 seconds. he is in an intensive dialysis treatment center, but they are going to have to do a kidney transplant, only they aren’t sure if he is healthy enough to go through with the procedure. i am very scared for him.
Mornin.
that my parents wouldnt argue
<345
Please pray for my friend C. Her marriage is breaking up, she is unemployed and her world is about to fall apart. Pray that she finds the strength to realize that it’s okay to rely on friends and family who want to help. Help her realize that she can’t do it all alone.
Thank you for praying for her.
Can’t request personally, as I have a pretty good life. A few years ago I happen to know an eight year old girl who was being sexually abused by her stepfather, it has since become a pet cause of min- so prayers go to all of the children of the world who are being abused by those who they trust
I have a unspoken or untyped prayer request…God knows what it is
Pray for my 15 yr. son. I found out that he never checked into his Algebra class … he has been at this school for 3 weeks. Thanks.
Also pray for the families at the Salvation Army that will be receiving help from us this Saturday (food & clothes) … that all of their needs are met.
Please pray for the family that lost their husband/dad to a farming accident early in Sept. I know this holiday season will be rough for them and to add to it his b-day was three days after Christmas. Also, pray for my dad….he’s dealing with this loss in his own way, but struggling b/c his best friend of 50yrs is now gone.
my oldest daughter has to have a heart cath done on december 30th…pray all goes well! thanks Dan…your the best!
How wonderful to have a site where we can share our prayer requests. I ask for prayer for my 4 grandchildren. 2 of them do not acknowledge Christ nor have a relationship with Christ. 2 of them are having finals. One is pregnant and not married and struggling.
Thanks for the opportunity to share and to pray for others.
I found you from TNut’s site.
soooo many………….
my great grandfather (he is in the hospital) and my family, my mother and stepfather and all they are going through right now, my mother’s boss’ son (he is 15 and his kidneys are failing), our president, congress, and judicial system, the world (this place needs help), hurricane victims, pray for all the children, they are our future, all of the soldiers helping protect our country
All of the children who don’t have families to buy them Christmas gifts. Kids don’t understand the concept of not having any money, but at least some of them have families. Those who don’t will only have each other on Christmas and that makes me really sad.
A prayer for all of the abused, molested and neglected children of the world-that they may be whole again!
this guy actually goes to school with me and i know he’s been to myw ork before.
As the year ends, may the world see more peace, less war and terrorism. We should remember and pray for thousands of our civilian brothers who lost everything including the life of their loved ones in Iraq War, our brothers in the army who are currently on the war affected areas, and Millions of family affected by natural calamities like hurricane, earthquake and t-sunami.
I need prayer for my family for our general well-being and healing.
RYC:
From my perspective, ‘that struggle to find someone’ has yet to work out.
I sometimes wonder if any married couple is happier than they would be alone, but then we have to have some way of repopulating, don’t we?
Thanks for your comment, Dan.
L,r
Pray for the Graczyk family.
I like your comments on ronlawhouston’s site and it is the longest I have ever read from you. Wow! Have a good day!
Pray that I get over this horrible feeling of anxiety and worry over everything. I’m just so down and sad and worried. Thank you.
that i’ll go to church on sunday… thx.
My boss, he just found out that he is pre-diabetic.
and please pray for our troops and that their families will be blessed. thx again.
For the safety of my son while I am deployed.
IF i’m not mistaken…psalm 119 is the longest in the book
MY prayer would be that you take some of that big raise you got and buy http://eminemsrevenge.com and do a review of it here, because as an indy writer YOUR yea or nay could transfigure into some major sales…and i honestly think you would be surprised at the virtuosity of that novel
But like the protagonist in “The Color Purple,” i’m used to writing unaswered letters to God
i just found out that my friend’s dad had a heart attack last night. please help me pray for him and her family. they’ve already been through a lot with her mom having an attack last year. thanks.
Thank you. My prayer request is for more laborers in the field.
Safety while traveling home. Wisdom and rejuvenation. For everybody to enjoy fellowship with friends and family.
Hey Dan, do you remember the idea I told you about a while back after one of these prayer posts? I wondered if you would be willing to link that site on one of your posts just to give a little bit of a jump start. If you are willing just let me know (or if you don’t remember what the idea was). Thanks a ton and have a stupendous da y!!
Lord, I hand over my situation with my ex’s. (more info on my xanga.)
For my 8 year old nephew Austin. He has Cerebral Palsy and a defect in his heart. He’s going to have to have angioplasty soon and his parents find out next week when this will happen.
the lady that treats me like a grandchild where I work, Rita has really bad circulation in her legs, so they’re very swollen and purple. And recently it’s gotten so bad her legs are seeping. And I’m just praying that she starts to feel better, casue right now she can’t even get out of bed unless it’s a necessaty.
For everyone who is experiencing winter weather, that they may have safe journeys and a good holiday. and for my brother.
Money for school.
I pray for Ries and Sarah as always. This week, I’d also like to pray for KT as she’s going through a really tough time right now as well as my mom that she travels safely between LA and New York.
My husband just found out the other day that a good friend of his was sent to the hospital and as of yesterday they were unsure of the diagnosis but it’s something abdominal. Please pray for him (he is a christian). Pray that I can keep my sanity while raising three small children!
my aunt cause she’s had like ten surgeries for her brain tumor && it still isnt getting better
That I learn to really put God at the steering wheel of my life and that I learn and am successful with my insulin pump.
Mr Looft. anna and emily are in pieces. so is their dad.
he might not make it
My husband is on medical leave from work and after six weeks, we still haven’t gotten any money from his insurance. I am unemployed. We have three children with nothing coming for Xmas. We are trying to get out of this country and go back home, but right now, we’re just worried about surviving. We’ve started selling furniture; we are doing what we can and waiting on the Lord, but it’s getting discouraging…
We have a lot of ice here in SC and power lines are down and people are without heat and other necessities that come with electricity.
And Bradd and Bryon are flying to Cali right now… so for them to have a safe trip.
I, Deborah, need healing and only God knows the depths of it. Thanks.
The most in need of prayer I can think of is a nameless someone who has chosen to be malicious while maintaining his stance that he is a great Christian.
Please pray for spiritual guidance for us…. we are having problems in our church…
Thanks
kim
I was hoping you would do one like this…I know this sounds sappy…but I found out that my baby has cerebal palsy..I’d like prayer that it’s either a misdianosis (is that even possible?) or a VERY mild case. I’d appreciate any prayers.
