  • Prayer Post Part 8

    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.


    I don’t normally leave prayer request.  But tonight I want to leave one.  I know a person on xanga who I think can use prayer.  In addition, to going through chemo there are other challenges in her life.  So if you have a moment, pray for her.  Her site is Mamabaseball12.


    In the Bible there is an impressive story about two guys who were named Paul and Silas.  In Acts 16:25, it says “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” 


     


    In this story Paul and Silas were in prison and yet they found themselves praying and praising God.  When difficulties come into my life, I pray and complain.  But these two guys were praying and praising God at the same time.  I am so impressed with their attitude in their prayer. 


     


    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?

  • I’m trying to recover from suicidal depression. I need to forgive several people, but it’s hard to work through all the resentment and anger I have.

    Thanks for praying.

    Melissa

  • I’ll pray.

    Dan

  • My best guy friend (other than my boyfriend) has a school bill of $3300 to pay, not counting this next semester’s school bill.  If he doesn’t pay it, he can’t come back.  And he has only one semester left anyways…which makes me sad, because he’s like a brother to me.  He’s leaving to play semi-pro volleyball in Italy.

    So, pray for him to get the money to finish college so he can follow his dream, and pray for me to be able to be able to let him go.  Thanks.

  • My mom is going to visit my g-parents in CA for 2 weeks, leaving my sister and I alone with my dad.  please pray that she will be protected and that nothing will go horribly wrong while she’s away!

    Thanks.

  • Oh, and thanks Mr. Theologian, for being courageous to talk about prayer. It’s a rare and special occasion that someone would, heavens!, publicly speak about prayer. :)

  • I am extremely angry, depressed, and somewhat suicidal. I blame it on the bipolar disorder. Someone please pray for these feelings to end, at least until I get back to school and can get some help.

  • My depressed friend needs prayer, especially when school starts up again. He will be even more depressed and his work load might stress him out a lot. So please pray that I’ll stick with him through this and that God will give him strength and encouragement to last the rest of the year.

  • Hey Theo…

    My prayer is for you.  You reach so many here in Xangaland…I pray that you will always point them back to the one who loves us all.  Be well…my friend.  Praying blessings to you and yours….

  • I had to come back and confess that I was at the party and knew that Dan was getting ready to post so I had a heads up and that is how I got number 1 Sorry

  • Two of my friends are having major family problems and they are starting to lose hope. They are turning to drugs and other such stuff. Please pray for them.

    Pesky

  • oh my goodness i swear this prayer request thing helps to keep me sane..

    um could you please pray for my relationship with a certain someone, & that i’m not so nervous about it? ..thanks so much!

    ahh..paul and silas is my favorite story in the bible

  • Please pray for a friend of mine who is having serious marriage problems. Thank you.

  • I just got back from my Mom’s.  She just fell again.  She didn’t hurt herself, at least not any more than a bruise, but this cannot keep happening.  Pray for her, that the physical therapy they’ve ordered begins to strengthen her, and pray for us, as we decide whether she needs a change in living arrangements…

    It’s hard to be old.

  • If you could pray for my guidance….I’m about to graduate college and want to make the best choice of  what I use my life for afterwards.

  • Please read my new post.

    Thanks, larry

  • it’s prayer requestS
    haha, k bye

  • Next fall I am hoping to study abroad in Scotland in the Edinburgh school of divinity. I truly feel God’s tug in my heart and that He wishes me to go, therefore, if I am meant to go I know He will provide. Pray that the financial support and accomodations might come in a timely manner and that I will be able to decipher God’s will in all of this. Though I so strongly desire to go because I know that I am meant to, it is still a terrifying step as well. I am fairly shy and used to small college life, so this step is rather huge. Thank you my brothers and sisters in Christ for your prayers.

  • Please pray for my friend with Multiple Sclerosis… she’s in her thirties and has to live in a high-rise… and I haven’t seen her for a long time. She’s a very vibrant, awesome lady, and she’s forced to live the lifestyle of someone forty years older than her. I just pray that she can be content wherever her life takes her.

    -JSK

  • Pray for my friend’s dad as she’s not saved yet.  Also pray for her in general I guess, I haven’t had a chance to talk to her about what’s wrong but please just pray for her anyway.  Also pray for me.  This Christmas break is actually boring.  I feel very useless, trying to kill a lot of time.  Pray that I can be more productive and disciplined in what I do.

  • Well, not saying that all highrises are full of older people, but at this one, it’s more like a nursing home than anything.

  • Hey, Dan.

    Could you put up a question dealing with Gay marriage?

  • since augest i have had everything in life taken from me. At the beggining of augest my dad had a drug relapse and had to move out(not unnusual at my house), but it caused so much stuff. This time he left my family $20 thousand in dept. I dropped out and got a job at a bakery near my house thinking i could help us out. I’m not at home a lot because it reminds me of to many things and reminds me how my family will turn out one day if im not careful. Ive always said that my family will be the total opposite of mine when i have one. I know my mom is trying to make it normal and trying to get me to live at home, but its hard. For one she was a very abusive mom when i was a kid to me and my older brother(luckily my little sister didnt have to put up with that). I know i should forgive her and i have felt like i have in the past but its just hard. I guess pray that i have faith through anything that comes towards me and anything that has already passed. I know the big man doesnt like to see any of us in pain. Sorry to have written so much.

  • yeah, pray that i dont stay short for the rest of my life
    peace max

  • My best friend is a young, single mother who doesn’t always make the wisest choices.  Please pray for her guidance.  Also, please pray for my own guidance through my last semester of college.

  • I’m praying for alot of you…

    I need prayer for Wisdom, for doors to be flung open
    that should be opened and slammed shut when they should
    not be.

    Also need prayer that my finances would start being more
    reliable and that I’ll become more effective in my work.

    -Eric

  • One tiny prayer to the Lord is worth more then anything. I will pray every night. I will definitly keep the prayer request in mind when I pray.

    Happy Early New Year! ^_^

  • I want to thank god for everything he has blessed me with and for keeping everyone safe during the holidays.

    I pray for everyone else on xanga that needs prayers.

    Amanda

  • I don’t really have any…

    Well, in tune with the time of year, I pray that everyone enjoys the New Year’s Eve celebrations responsibly and that everyone stays safe!!

    That’s very important right now.

    And also, a guy who I don’t actually “know,” but his brother died a little over a month ago in a car accident, and he’s still not coping well. I want him to feel better very soon.  

  • Oh! And my brother & his wife’s relationship…

  • I want people to pray for my ultimate wish: that diabetes will be cured someday. And that I learn to use my talents and do my best to work hard in school to make my future pleasant.

  • no prayers… just a comment.

    I noticed on a previous post that you mentioned not learning how to link a site on xanga until 6 months after joined. If you wouldn’t mind, would you explain to me? Because I’ve been on xanga over a year (taking a bit of a break from posting right now) and STILL do not know and no matter who I ask, no one can explain. I don’t think I explain clear enough because I’ve asked people who DO it on their sites and they still say they don’t know. It’s really been bothering me… purely because it’s probably so simple and I am just missing it.

  • I have a prayer request..

    We have just found out that my step father has cancer that has spread throughout his entire body. We have no doubt that we will be losing him in a few months. Please pray for my family, especially my mom that she will come out of this a stronger woman. And pray that the next few months are as painless as possible for him and our family.

  • Pray that I may be “Jesus with skin on” to the people around me. In other words that HIS spirit would work through me to touch the lives of those around me. Thanks.

  • I’m praying for everyone. My own request is for better health.

  • ballet, this is one of my favorite things to pray for, that He live in us, with us, through us.

  • I’ve been recovering from a hugely debilitating illness which has brought me to suicidal thoughts several times. I’m praying that God will speed me to the end of it and for relief from daily pain.

    Sam

  • My mother, grandmother, Josh, and Pam.

  • Just about to have a talk with my girlfriend about where we stand-I’ve been thinking a lot about purpose and my role in life, and a relationship seems like a hindrance. I need God’s words.

  • pray for my talk with a friend who’s faith in God is shakened.

  • Thanks for placing Mamabaseball12 and her needs in your daily blog…As it has been said, “You can do more than pray AFTER you’ve prayed, but you can’t do more than pray UNTIL you’ve prayed…”

  • Save the anorexics. Seriously, they’re all over the place on xanga. They need help from… anywhere.

  • Me and my dad had a fight. He told me not to come home on Christmas eve. I think we worked things out tho.. I have alot of friend drama being thrown at me. I don’t like getting involved but I need to help my friends so yeah… thanks for praying. I’ll pray for you and everyone on the page.

  • Please pray not for me, but all of us, to let our minds, spirit, body and soul, reach out to one another and accept each other, whether we seem alike or not. Let us accept each other and live in peace together, whether we have different perspectives of the world or not, and let us try to look through those perspectives for once and be open to it, whether actually following their footsteps or taking your own path. It would truly mean the world to me. Thank you.

  • -Bradd is trying to “find himself”.  You know how that goes.
    -I am looking for a new job.
    -I need friends.
    -Tough classes next semester

    And now the big one:  Please pray that if God wants me to go to Loma Linda University that He will reveal that to me by revealing to Andrea that He wants her to go too.

  • Oh please pray for Mikey, a 16 year old boy who is dying of brian cancer.

  • I’d like folks to pray for my friend Bethany…
    Actually she’s one of my friends little sisters.
    She struggles with depression and cutting, she
    really needs to focus back on God and have her
    family start supporting her and each other.

    I also would like you guys to pray for my now
    ex-fiance. We were supposed to be married last
    weekend and things have been really hard for me these
    past 2 months since she called things off with me and
    moved on to someone else.

    I’d really like you all to pray for Wisdom and truth
    for her (and I). I don’t think I’d like to be with her
    again, but I know that I loved her in the way
    that I hope someday I will be able to again.

    In the meantime, I thank you for your prayers and I am
    going through and reading and praying through a ton
    of yours!

  • I need money for school.

  • With tears in my eyes I ask you to please pray for my daughter….thank you

  • For my family-being home for Christmas was more difficult than I thought it would be and realizing how bad things have gotten here since I left-financial problems, my parents marriage is a mess, and my brother had to move back in but is hoping to be able to get an apartment soon but is struggling to pay off student loans and such (he just graduated in May).

    And guidance for me. I’m thinking of transferring to a different college in the fall and I don’t know what to do…

  • For the guidance to Christ and guidance of Christ for those Lost and guidance of Christ for me and everyone Christian on xanga and in the world. sounds cheesy but someone needs to.

  • I can’t find my entry now. I am really tired. This is my prayer.I need guidance and strenght with my husband and dealing with him , and decitions need to be made, and my future with my job, I don’t want to do this job, but I need the money, I need help listening to him inside myself and letting go of fear and to get out of my own way.

  • Yes, and He knows my needs.

    Peace and Love:)

  • still car.. and fam.. and school. and job..

  • I have one….it’s kinda for myself,but the bible tells us to be open and honest… so….I am a full time musician missionary with YWAM in Norway. It’s pretty tough being out there and it makes it even more difficult when finance is a big issue..Please pray that God will provide for me… also, for my dad, brother and sister..who have yet to know the Lord.

    Thankyou so much!!!

    Jon

  • I heard this preacher once say that he doesn’t ask God for anything, he just praises him and God gives him everything he needs and more. I always liked that. It really made me think about the things I prayed for. Prayer is so powerful, it really floors me when i think about it. No real prayer request but i will pray for everyone.

  • I pray for all those who have been victims of hate crimes, domestic abuse, and other battery victims.

  • could you please pray for me and my family, as we are moving back to australia next month after living in london for a year… especially me and my sister, that we settle back in smoothly. thanks so much.

  • Really really blessed idea, Theo.

    Could you pray for my boss?  The doctors have started him on some stronger chemo this time since his lung cancer has spread to his liver, lymph nodes, and other parts of his body.  Also, please pray for JesAnne, another xangan, who lost a close friend to brain cancer a couple of days ago.

    I’ll be praying for you and your friend.

  • Our friends daughter was recently born 4 weeks early and is still in a ventilator. I’d like prayers for her.

  • For my wife’s family, who are all finally realizing they are missing something in their lives.  When my 13 year old sister in law didn’t realize that Christmas was Jesus’ birthday, for the first time they started talking about going to church.  Please pray for them and us to be good witnesses to them (which obviously we have not been so far or she would have known the real reason for Christmas!)

  • no more depression.  courage to live.

  • That I could rise above myself and be a light in this world.
    That this light would lead people to Jesus and the abundant life.
    For you, Dan. And for you, looky220.

  • Pray for my older brother he is going though tough times and has a hard time getting his life together,,,,he has a great heart,,,,thanks

  • TheRunawayBride, I pray you find hope! God knows my needs-in truly connecting with one I love. Thank you, Dan!

  • Please pray for me, my faith has slipped in 2005, because I didn’t want to be alone. Now I am trapped in it and I don’t believe its godly.

  • My mom has cancer and her chemo treatments are becoming more and more difficult on her. She has to go out of town to get them each week and it’s hard for her to keep coming back right afterwards because by the time she gets here, she’s very sick. My dad isn’t much help at all and it’s hard for me to run the house and take care of my siblings all the time while keeping up with school… which is not really happening.

    Just pray something changes soon or that God better prepares my family to deal with this. Things are going down hill lately and I’m scared.

  • I would like prayer that the Lord will open my heart and mind to the scripture and give me better understanding and greater wisdom than Solomon.

    We should be careful of asking for small things.

    L,r

  • Thank you for your comment. I hope you are doing well :)

  • On going, that God will restore my marriage.

  • Pray for my ex-fiona to get a new job, doing nail is very hazard to her health.

    For my family to look back to God and make him the center of the household again. For my little sister Bethany to have peace and look to God as well.

    For my x-fiance to have wisdom and strength as he deals with the changes in his life and for him to always look to God above all else.

    For my friend Eric to have wisdom and his heart be healed from some things that have really hurt him.

    For me to have wisdom dealing with certain things going on in my life right now. and to always desire God’s will above my own. For me to show Godly love towards the people that hurt me and not anger.

    I am praying for so many of you! :)

  • Please pray that my last semester in college won’t be too trying and stressful. 

  • Someone just died directly across the street from me. The ambulances are still there and the body has yet to be removed. They took in no stretcher, simply a disposable sheet to cover it with. It was most likely a child or grandchild of the one who lives there, visiting for Christmas. I simply request prayer for that family, how difficult it must be at this time for them to lose someone.

  • It seems that since I have been home from my visit to Madison, I have had a significant amount of spiritual unrest.  I have been fighting a huge battle with my flesh and wanting to return to old patterns.  All the things I said about being home were and are true, but the greener grass of Madison seemed to cause the dead grass of Lubbock to look all the more dead.  I should’ve expected this, but was unprepared. 

    I had a dream the other night that I was in a club.  There was a band playing at the front and people were dancing.  I saw Steve Springer walking thru the club holding hands with other people from Mad City.  I knew they were prayer walking the club.  I was aware that there was a strongman of lust that was going to pounce on the club like the hurricanes.  I didn’t know what to do.  I couldn’t decide whether I should get up and hold Steve’s hand or continue making out with whomever I was with.  In the end I think I chose the latter. 

    This is very frusterating for me.  I’ve been telling everyone for a few weeks that I wouldn’t have sex again. Not because it’s a rule I can’t break, but because it’s my voluntary love reaction to Jesus.  It feels like blah, blah, blah.  I keep telling myself to fight, to fast, to worship, to pray, to read, to do something.  But I’m not finding the strength I need to do those things.  Please pray for me.  Opportunities abound.

  • that our lives and our places in this world would become known to us in ways we could never imagine. that we touch others and help them with their difficulties. that we think beyond ourselves and look to the vast greatness around us. that we know, deep down, that we are here for a reason.

  • Yeah, Ace’s classmate’s father was just blown up in a roadside bomb attack in Iraq. They are flying him to Germany. All we know at the moment is that he has injuries to his face and spine. He is serving in the National Guard.

  • I would like to thank you for putting this prayer post up. I haven’t seen so many people praying for me and for others before in my life! Not even in the churches I attend! It is truly a blessed event and I want to thank you again for it!

  • Can you pray that God will provide the money neede for my parents to pay off our apartment rent and that we will not be in need of money.

  • I need prayers for the strength and direction my life is taking.  Returning to school after being out for 15 years at the age of 42; re-entering a relationship that is now at a make-or-break ultimatum; finding the funds to return to school; and the strength to deal with all this as a single mother.

  • i have a friend who died in a freak skiing accident 2 days before christmas. her fiance is a certified skiing instructor and was teaching her to ski, so not only has he lost the love of his life, but he has huge amounts of guilt, even though it was not his fault at all. please pray for him and both their families.

  • y would u pray? god is just an imagenary creature, and jesuses mom is just a party girl who got drunk and knocked up in a ditch (which is y she dosnt remember nehting cause she was drunk) and had a kid who turned into a zombie. its kinda obvious. u just gotta think about it

  • For my best friend, who just fell down the stairs from the attic, got a mild concussion and fractured her tailbone.

    ~Kerii-chan

  • the next semester of school (even though second quarter isnt done yet)

  • I rarely pray   but can say that when I’ve dared to pray for myself or for unselfish requests big or small it has always been answered

    I will pray for the old lady wrapped in two black garbage bags, her shoes looked like rags pushing a cart down the street when we had the transit strike here   we were stuck in traffic and i got out the car to give her $20    I wonder if she was sane enough not to lose it soon after I gave it to her   I wonder if she didn’t get a hard time going in to a store to use it  I wonder if she had a home to go to  it was so cold  she was so old   I wonder how much longer she’ll live   

    I know that she has a place with god   before she took the money from me and said thank you (you could barely hear her) I had sent my husband to give it to her and he had come back with the money still in his hand  because she said that she did not accept money from men, she never knew I was in the car   that showed me alot about her personality and the way she lived

    I pray for her and grandmas and grandpas that because of mental illness or lack of family are roaming the streets aimlessly awaiting death

  • I know this is late but my cousin’s baby died today… She was only 6 months old, prayers for her and the family would be much appreciated- Heather

  • I want to give a prayer request to my girlfriend’s friend’s family. He died in a car crash, and his cousin might not make it.

  • My family…that the whole incident between my family and grandparents will pass…even though it hasnt for 3 years now. And that i will finally get to see my cousins again…

    <3 Jack

  • Praying for all of you. =)

    My friend`s father who has been diagnosed with cancer.

  • I’ve got a friend just seeking truth and certainty in life. Please lift her up, that God would reveal Himself and His truth to her in ways that we can’t even imagine. That this darkness would make the light more beautiful when she reaches it.

    Thank you.

  • I pray to be a stronger person (not physically)
    :)

  • Pray for Tiffany and I (cactusflower37321)  we are getting married soon, and staying pure is getting harder by the second.  We want to do what’s right, and there is so much temptation it can sometimes seem hopeless!

  • I echo the above prayer request, and if you ever read this, any practical suggestions would be highly considered.  Please post them on Steve’s site (cowboy_christian), not mine!

  • I’d like to request another prayer for my baby boy.

  • Would you ask your friends to take a look at my site?  Thanks!
