Prayer Requests

[Mach123]

Please pray for us that we will pray together. My wife and I fought all those years lol. So we would try to do our "devotions" which is a morning and evening book by Spurgeon she likes, and one of us would act up and we'd start fighting and give up.

We have mellowed or recovery has progressed or whatever and we are actually doing it now. Really I was so at the end of my rope with her I said, "well we'll do our devotions together because it's the only thing I can ask you to do that you won't put up a fight about." She agreed.

So this week she said she wanted to be in prayer and I said OK naturally. It creates a lovely togetherness.

Thank you for your prayers. My dad is still in the hospital, sedated and on the vent. I should get an update this afternoon when my stepmom goes to see him. I'm hoping the vent will be removed soon and he will be able to go home. My stepmom said he was doing better yesterday. Please keep praying. Thank you. VB

When I was young I had great faith but lost my connection and faith. I'd like to return to that connection. Please pray that I will be restored to a healthy and proper relationship with God through Jesus.

I pray that you will discover and develop a relationship and faith with a Higher Power who will come along side of you to encourage and support you on your journey.

You will find, if you do not already know, that He loves you regardless. He loves us all where we are at. And, although you feel you may have turned aways, He hasn't turned away from you. This has been my experience, anyway, and I hope that you can change your heart and look at your relationship with God in a different light. He is a God of love and hope. VB

Thank you for all of our prayers. My dad was released yesterday to go home. He still has a lot of recovery to do that is going to tax him greatly, but he is alive. :)

I just wanted to share this prayer for those who are often overcome with grief... (within the last 6 years, I have lost my dad, mom, sister, and for all intents and purposes my brother as well). Grief comes upon me in waves even after periods of relative calm.

“Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief” (Psalm 31:9, NIV). My heart is broken, my mind exhausted. I cry out to you and hardly know what to ask. All I can do is tell you how I feel and ask you to “keep track of all my sorrows. . . . [collect] all my tears in your bottle. . . . [and record] each one in your book” as I pour them out to you (Psalm 56:8, NLT). Amen.

Praying for those in the path of TS Barry. I hear there's going to be a lot of wind and water heading into Louisiana, New Orleans in particular.

Just wondering if you've done any volunteering/work in this area. You seem to have such a strong faith and big heart for healing. Humantrafficing has been something on my heart for so long, but after working on behalf of battered and abused women and children for over a decade, I just don't feel that I can go into that area now, so I pray and look to other areas in which I can volunteer.

There are so many nonprofits in my area. I'd like to go with a smaller one where I'd get to know those I'm helping to provide services for. Maybe I just need to patchwork this. Homelessness, education, and Veterans. Don't know here I fit in right now and not sure what I really have to give these days. Oh well, guess I'll just pray on it for now and do some research. We have a big job fair coming along in a couple of weeks and maybe I'll meet someone who might need me to work in their nonprofit. Wouldn't that be a gift! :) Blessings, VB

Honestly I don't think I could handle that type of work right now. I'm not seeking high people contact jobs. I've also suffered sexual harassment at one place I volunteered and I don't want to go over that again.

I'm looking to work with animals right now or volunteer online.

I pray for those who have lost confidence in the church that this will be restored to them.
