4-11-14: The idea to do this just popped into my mind, so I thought I’d give it a try:
Matthew 18:19 (CEV)
I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
If you’d like people to pray for you, leave a comment telling us what you want God to do for you. I, and some of the many kind people who visit here, will pray for you.
I’ll leave a reply to let you know when I’ve added you to my prayer list. Select the box that says “Notify me of follow-up comments via email” to be sure you’re alerted to replies to your prayer.
If you see a prayer request that moves you, take a moment and pray for them; if you leave a comment for that request, that would really encourage that person.
When your prayer has been answered, come back and let us know; show everyone who visits here the power of prayer.
If you’d like to pray for me, please pray that the restoration x 7 that has been prophesied over me will include the return of absent loved ones, and that this restoration will start SOON! Thanks!! 🙂
Please stand in agreement with me and pray for complete and total restoration of my marriage.
God can restore any marriage, and I will pray that He will make your marriage even better than before.
Thank you for your prayers and may god do a complete turnaround within Emf&return him fully to you.In jesus mighty name Amen
You’re welcome, and thank you for praying for me!! 🙂
I have come here and surrender myself wholeheartedly to the Almighty. I request for lots of prayers. I was married (arranged marriage) to a guy who has deserted me and abandoned me after abuse after 10 days of marriage. He did not gave any reason or cause for deserting me. It has been four years he never came back and lives in another country and I am not at peace at heart I want justice to be done as I remained a faithful wife in those short span of 10 days to him. I and my family have requested him many times to divorce me legally so that I am free from him if he doesn’t want me and not to hang my life but he ignored all of our requests. Please pray that he understands his mistake. What he did to me was wrong. Please pray that I also forgive him from my heart and be at peace with myself as I cannot stop my tears at all. I feel he just used and threw me away but marriage is a pious thing in presence and vows of God and he does not realize that what he did is wrong. His family too does not realize this that they have ruined my life. I am very depressed and sad. And I am in need of prayers so that God hears to my pain and hurt. Please pray for me. Please pray as I am not able to forget the hurt. Please pray that either he divorces me or keeps me but not to hang my life. Please pray that I am healed soon. Thanks a lot. Rgds, priya
God will repay you for the time you’ve lost!! I’m praying for you!!
Thanks a lot for your prayers. You are a wonderful soul of God filled with love , God will bring to you all well your Emf as love is what is God and I pray this happens soon. You both have a lot to share and do your duty towards Almighty. Thanks once again.
You’re welcome… and thank you!! 🙂
I pray that both of you come together again.
I have been waiting for immense restoration in my life – in every aspect of my life. Please pray for a breakthrough for me and my family.Niki
I will pray for your breakthrough and restoration to come soon, and for it to be even bigger than you’re asking for.
Thank you for your reply – do you know that I could feel that you have already prayed for me – I physically felt it yesterday and this morning. I have been brought to tears.Niki
That’s extraordinary that God allowed you to feel that, Niki!! That’s probably a sign that restoration is on the way.
I am trusting & hoping you are enjoying a divine restoration at this point!!
May God Bless you & your family with the deepest desires of your hearts.Above and beyond your expectations.
I am praying for you and the restoration of your relationship with EMF! I would also like prayers for God to guide me to the man I will marry! Thank you!
Thank you for your prayers!! I am praying for God to bring you a fine Christian man to marry.
I would like prayer because I have been going through a lot of hurt for the past three months, I really want my joy back please help me thanks
I will pray that God will end your pain and bring you more joy than you had before.
May St. Raphael Angel of Happy meetings guide you to a wonderful restoration with EMF and may Ms. Anonymous be lovingly and easily guided to her future husband and soulmate.
Please pray to God to bring an answer for something I have been praying for for a long time time now. I pray that God heals and restores your relationship. I also pray that He will give you strength while you’re waiting and that He gives you “glimpses” while you’re waiting to encourage you. Thank you!
I will pray that God will bring you a better answer than you hoped for, sooner than you expected. Thank you for your prayers!! 🙂
I’m approaching my 30s and still trusting God for a life partner. Pls stand in faith with me that I will meet him soon according to His perfect timing.
Right now, there is a fine Christian man praying for God to bring him the woman he will marry; I will pray that God will bring you together soon.
I am casting all of my cares on the Lord. Please pray with me that God would continue to keep the father of my two young children (ages 2yr and 14 weeks) away from us. He was abusive, both physically and sexually. We have court on Friday and again on July 15th to make our restraining orders permanent and to have a judge rule that he cannot have visitation with them. He will be facing a Judge for sentencing (3 felony/1 misdemeanor charges) late July. The State is asking for prison. I pray that his prison sentence is long and his parental rights will be terminated. Also, for a godly man to come into our lives so that my children can know the love of a father. God is so great and he is just. He has preserved our lives and I know that he will continue to protect us.
I will pray that God will keep that man far from you and your family, forever. I know that He will continue to protect you and your children, and I will pray that He will bring a loving, quality man to care for you.
Please pray for me, so that God can tell me in which direction i should go. i’m married with a child and although my husband loves me very much, his immaturity and childish behavior makes me question if i want to spend the rest of my life with him. I am a nervous person and I’m afraid all the stress can make me ill one day. I’m having a hard time as a mother, its not easy. I have no friends, no social life, Im isolated. I have been praying that God can send me a good friend and to help me find the power to be free of all the negativity. I want to be a strong independet woman but i dont know what my passion in life is. I want a change in my life and I’m working towards that but Im alone and afraid.
I think that you are already strong and independent; you are handling a household, husband and child without the help of friends, which many people could not do.
If you go here
http://www.meetup.com/
you can probably find a Christian or mothers’ group in your area, and that would be a good place to find friends. I will pray that you will find many quality friends to enrich your life.
Like you, I’m a nervous person. I asked God to help me with this, and He has; I will pray that He will give the same blessing to you. You will feel how much courage you have when you are less stressed.
And, I’ll pray that God will show you what your passion is; whatever it might be, I know that you’ll excel in it.
Thank you so much for your prayers and encoureging words. I have a get together tonight with other moms from a meetuo.com group. I have a good feeling it will go very well, I’m excited and I will keep praying to God because he is sending me signals to let me know he is listening to me and he will come through. Thank you.
You’re very welcome!! I will pray that you will meet some quality people tonight to be your new friends!! 🙂
I want every single good soul to be happy, including my family|well-wishers|myself. Good people really do deserve all the love and happiness in the universe.
That’s a lovely sentiment, thank you for the comment!! 🙂
Yes, this is lovely!
This is so lovely! Thank you. May it return to you a thousandfold!
Please pray with me that God will help me get the strength I need, I’m in a verbally and mentally abusive relationship, I want to have a conversation with my husband because I’m a point where I think is best to be separated. He is a kind man deep down but he has anger issues from childhood and he is verbally abusive, i tell him to correct his behavior but he doesn’t listen. I’m tired of the hot and cold moods, it’s stressful and i want to be free and happy. I want God to tell me if that is the right thing to do. I’m lost and nervous, please help me pray.
Normally, I would never presume to speak on God’s behalf, but in this case I can say: God absolutely, positively does NOT want you to live your life under this dark cloud of abuse!!
You should exercise caution when confronting a man with anger issues, though; if you can get him to see a counselor, that would be a safe environment to tell him that you want to separate, and if not, you need to have someone there with you when you tell him… even if you’re 100% sure he would never harm you physically.
You are already full of strength; you are prepared to leave, which many women could not do. I will pray that God will give you the confidence you need, lift you up, and guide you safely through this terrible time, into the happier life He has waiting for you!!
I am praying for you and ask that God give you supernatural healing and bring peace in your home between you and your husband.
I want Justice! I seek justice my lord!
Basically i was used and betrayed by a man. After i found out, instead of being sorry and apologize, he lied to everyone saying bad things about me, and putting all blame on me. We used to work together, and he made my life a hell so i left my work. I suffered for 1 year every moment. I gave my whole life to him as he begged and cried so much and told many stories just to get me physically!
After all that i still wanted to forgive him, but he doesnt want to be forgiven, he still provokes me and has no regret for what he did to me!
Its time to get justice! I think the best lesson is to take away from him things that he loves the most or get betrayed by the person he trusts the most, so then he can feel the same pain!
I want to take away everything he likes the most and i want him to get betrayed by the person he loves/trusts the most! I want to see him loveless, hated, lonely, poor, jobless, hopeless, betrayed. This is the only way to teach him a lesson.
Let me know if you can help me.
You have endured a dreadful betrayal, Vidhi!! I will pray for God to comfort you, and bring you the fine Christian man that He has selected for you so that you can forget about this loser.
It is very important that you forgive this man, regardless of what he wants; forgiveness is not to benefit him, but to benefit YOU, so that unforgiveness won’t poison your soul, and to please God, who wants us to ALWAYS forgive, no matter what. I know it’s hard, but radical obedience leads to radical blessings.
I understand the desire to destroy this man’s life, but, even if you had the power to do so, which you probably don’t, taking vengeance is not what God wants us to do, nor does He want us to become the sort of person who dedicates themselves to destruction and harm, not even of people who deserve it. See what the Bible says on this topic here:
http://www.gotquestions.org/revenge-vengeance.html
I will pray that God will punish this man for his evildoings… and that you will meanwhile be getting the best revenge, which, as the saying goes, means living well!!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
I really want justice!
He has to regret for wat he did!
You’re very welcome!! God will bring justice; forget about that worthless man and enjoy your life!!
Hi Vidhi,
You have my compassion and empathy.
The verses (listed below) of Psalm 109 describe, almost verbatim, the attack I suffered, and you may find comfort in it. my Accusers fiery arrows were recent, I’m still healing, so I’m not talking sterile theory.
1-5
6-17
20-22
25-31
Verses 6-15 describe what you’re experiencing in terms of anger.
I agree with FormerHeathen that forgiveness is in order. HOWEVER, true forgiveness comes AFTER we’ve allowed ourselves to feel the uncomfortable feelings of sadness, hurt, loss and fear. Jumping straight to anger is the mind’s way of distracting us from the pain of betrayal, and it’s painful for a reason (betrayal is a violation, and violation is abuse).
Your emotional Self is as much a legitimate part of you as your beating heart. Dis-ordered personalities are very good at manipulating others. They gas-lamp us into believing that their violation of us, is our doing and our fault, which leads to intense shame.
My experience with healing is that the ‘us’ part of this discussion is key. What was it about me that made me vulnerable to being exploited? I’m not a NASCAR fan, so someone bonkers about NASCAR is not someone I identify with. The same applies to our emotional identity, and it drives us as to who we identify with emotionally.
L
I ask everyone who is willing to pray for me. I am going through financial problems, court problems, spouse problems and health problems. Please say a prayer for me. Thank you.
Hello again Carlos!! You’re still in my prayers every day!! 🙂
Please everyone who reads this pray for me! I’m a wife and mother in my early thirties but motherhood and marriage have been a big challenge, I’m not happy and I want to pursue a career that I enjoy I just dont know what that would be yet, my husband threatens to kick me out the house when he gets angry and because I don’t want more children now, I have nothing, no job or money, I’ve been praying that God can send me angel to help me, i feel something in me saying “your time will corm, be patient and stay there” but Im not sure what to do. What should I do?
You don’t have nothing; the greatest force in the universe is right there by your side!!
You have to decide if you want to stay with a man who threatens you and sees you as a womb under his command.
If you have family or friends, it’s time to ask for their help. If not, you need to contact one of the agencies that assists women in crisis, so that you have a plan in place if your husband throws you out.
Do you have any contact with $ at all, even if just for groceries? If so, you need to start hiding a little bit every week for use in emergencies.
And then, you need to figure out what career you want, and how to get it. It has to be something that you’re passionate about, because it will take a great deal of time and effort to get there. Until you figure that out, you might want to try a regular job, and get an idea what you like ad what you’re good at.
In the meantime, pray every day. God will be with you every step of the way; He’ll make sure that you reach your destiny.
I’ll be praying for you!!
Please pray that I get a job offer for a job that I so desperately need at this time. I have been looking for a permanent position for some time now and this is the best one I could have ever imagined. I would be so happy and grateful to get it. Thank you for your prayers.
Jackie, I will pray that you will not only get this job, but they will pay you more than you expected!!
I am married (10 yrs now) & have 4 kids- pray that God blesses my kids, marriage and God to bless me with a good homestead. I also would like God to bless me with a good salary. Pray with me.
I will pray that God will bless you beyond your expectations in all these areas, Sandie!!
Oh thank you, may God hear our prayers. God bless you.
Irish
I am a single mother with 2 children at home. I have a 6 year old disabled son and a 18 year old daughter in her last year of high School. I have just been blessed with gainful employment. I am now asking for prayer to provide a home for me and my children, we are in low income housing right now. I am sewing my seed and staying strong in my faith. Pray with me!!! Irish.
I’ll be praying that God will bring you a better home than you were expecting, Irish!!
Please pray that my son, Chris, will be healed from cancer. He’s so young, has two beautiful children and he gives so much happiness to all he knows.
I will pray that God will bless Chris with healing and a long life!!
Thank you, Formerheathen.
And God Bless you as well.
Please pray for my husband and I as we have struggled for many years to have a child. We will try an aggressive treatment in the coming weeks that could bring us the miracle we are praying for. Thank you for your prayers.
I will pray for God to brig you a beautiful, healthy baby!!
“I’ve found, the more difficult the battle, the more strength you’ll have.”
That is what i’ve been telling myself for months now because I figured, God won’t test me on a subject I’m not going to need in life. Now i believe that there is a reason for everything, even the bad things teach us valuable life lessons. Im going through a uncertain time in my life, i know which way i want to go but i dont know how to do it. 3 yrs into my marriage and its not going well, I’ve lost a lot of the love and respect for my husband, he told me he sees me as his mother, not a wife he desires to be with. That is because I see and treat him like the child he is sometimes, i dont desire him either. Im unhappy and lonely, i feel like im living a live I dont belong to. I want to be indpendent and free but i have nothing, no house, no job, etc, all this makes me nervous so please pray that God will give me the strength to overcome it all and come out victorious. All I want is to be free of the sadness and uncertanty, to be able to enjoy the life and find my life’s purpose.
Sorry for writing too much, but I have nobody to talk to. I recently had an anxiety attack because I dont know what my life’s purpose is, i want to work in somthing I love, make friends and have a social life. I pray to God but sometimes I wonder why he doesnt answer me.
I’m sorry to hear how badly your marriage has been going!! Have you been to a counselor? If your husband won’t go, you need to go by yourself and figure out what you want to do about it.
What happened to all the friends you had before you got married? Can you get back in touch with them to alleviate your loneliness? If the meetup you went to 2 months ago didn’t work out, find a different group to try out. And, there are countless forums you can join online where there are many people to interact with. AND, you can chat live at a variety of sites as well; you don’t need to spend a single minute without people to talk to.
What are you praying for God to do? He is eager to help you, but He won’t send friends, employers or counselors to your front door; you have to pursue them yourself. Don’t worry about your life’s purpose, which most people never know, or work that you love when you don’t love anything yet; focus on getting ANY job to start with, and filling your life with friends using meetup.com and forums.
I’ll be praying that God will help you get started and find fast success!!
please pray for my love addiction, and for peace,protection and blessing in my family
I will pray that God will bring you these things and many more blessings too, Thendo!!
I came across your page at the right time. I have been dealing with the most difficult battle in my life, and that is my mind. I need prayer in restoration of my mind, and spirit. I need his favor, and for things to get better. Please pray for me. Thank you
Issa, I will pray that God will bless you with unprecedented favor, and that you will pass from this “desert” part of your life into your promised land very soon!!
Ezekiel 36:26 (NIV)
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you
Thank you so much. I hope God bless you in every area of your life. Because, your response gave me dome hope. To be listened to. Thank you, and may his blessings overflow you.
You’re welcome, Issa, and thank you for your good wishes!! 🙂
I pray that EMF recovers and is delivered from mental illness.
Not stating what I think he’s dealing with but to speak of my own, I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety and know how crippling it can be. It’s the darkest of days, and deepest in drowning. I really hope you get your man back so you can experience life with him.
Thank you for your prayers, Stars!! 🙂
couldnt find the prayer request box,so i’m using this “comment” area instead.
the woman I love more than ANY other by far has left me. I want to marry this woman. She loves me as well. I did some fasting and prayer that we marry,for her to be my wife. My heart had been shrouded and asleep for 10 years.
I truly believe God put her in my path and put the desire to marry on my heart.
I fell very hard and very quickly for her .I do believe that God intends for us to
marry. Sadly ironic but the fasting for our marriage scared her off! She is now
engaged to a totally godless man who in his family took turns having sex with
one of the sisters and he has an addiction masturbating to pictures of young
teenage girls. I had a dream and he is surround by a very dark ominous cloud.
She will only ever be a “posession” to him. Also,he is an anal control freak.
once the honeymoon phase is over his true colors will come out. he’s being a
“good boy” to get what he wants:Her. He’ll behave in public but life at home for her will be VERY different. Again,she’ll amount to one of his posessions,another “thing” to own and control.He’ll have her under his thumb,
dancing on the end of a string like a puppet,jumping when he “barks” and asking “how high”. She will be VERY sad and miserable in this Godless and
hollow empty loveless sham of a marriage.
PLEASE agree with me against this “marriage” and that God reverse this
sad and tragic situation and return her to my side.To a man that truly loves her with all of his heart. I dont want to posess her,I want her as my life partner,
her by my side her hand in mine.
My name is Daniel Wayne Erickson. I would rather not put their names out on the internet. God knows who they are. Thank you so very much for your prayerful agreement for the reversal of this very painful heartfelt “impossible”
situation. “With GodALL things are possible” and “Where 2 or more of you agree on some thing I will do it>”
Thank you in Christ,
Dan
You found the right place to request a prayer, Dan. I stand in prayer with you that this woman will come to her senses and come back to you!!
“FH” & mhicks41934…Thank you so very much for your prayerful agreement. A couple weeks ago I had 2 visions of her return to me. These visions ALWAYS
come to pass over time. I know they’re from God. This morning I was
praying to The Father and stood on the verse of 2 or more agreeing.
I read your agreement to Him.Immediately I felt the Holy Spirit come down
on me! I feel that this is a confirmation that He has heard my(our!) prayer
and that in His divine timing He will bring it to pass. Praise God!
Thank you so much for your continued agreement and support as I now
enter into my “Trial Of Faith”.
Dan
That’s awesome, Dan!! God will answer your prayer at just the right time!!
Formerheathen,mhicks41935 and EVERYONE supporting me in prayer…
The enemy is hard at work here attacking me. I know from my last post
that the Heavenly Father IS returning her to me in His divine time. I am in
my “Trial Of Faith”. I live right across from a local bar,a LITERAL “stones
throw” away. The fellow she is engaged to is a local musician. I just opened
up my front door and I could hear her singing.I cannot put into words how
I felt. I KNOW that the “enemy” stole her away from me because I KNOW
that that the Heavenly Father crossed our paths and put the desire on my
heart for her.Also,I KNOW that the Heavenly Father who put this on my heart
intends to finish this work and grant me this desire of my heart to His Glory.
PLEASE continue supporting me/agreeing with me in prayer. I am in a living
emotional hell,an emotional prison. I know that God the Heavenly Father on
my behalf already IS the victor,has already won this battle on my behalf.
I know that He has already snatched her from the enemys clutches.
Please continue to support me in this everybody.Please…
Thank you everyone. God DOES answer sincere,fervent,persistent
heartfelt prayer. He DOES part the seas and tear down the walls…
Thank you…
Dan
Footnote: Beginning tomorrow,Oct 5th,I am entering into a few days of
fasting and prayer,that the Heavenly Father make a mighty,bold and swift
move of his hand on my behalf in reversing this “impossible” situation.Thanks for everyones continued prayerful support.
In Christ,Dan
I will continue to stand in agreement with you, Dan!!
I know what your feeling all too well. My prayers are with you that she will wake up and see what God has placed in front of her (you) and that she will quickly reject the other man.
I need prayer for patience. My boyfriend took off almost a month ago, I went to a new church …no one knew anything about me or my situation and as the pastor prayed he told me “you are heartbroken and whatever has left you is coming back” PLEASE pray that I have the patience to wait this out and a trusting spirit….this is so hard…as ive seen my b/f backsliding in certain areas and I need to come to a point where i KNOW God has this all planned out a certain way. Thank you.
I will pray that you will have patience and trust, and that your boyfriend will come back to you soon, and treat you the way that God wants you to be treated!!
Please pray for me, my company’s on the brink of going under. I am trying to find a good job but not having much luck
I will pray that God will reward your faith with the job of your dreams!!
Thank you
My prayer request is that my family & I be out of debt. I desire as the Bible says to owe no man nothing but love. I honor God in my tithes & offerings & I honor Him with my life. I’m having issues making payments on my home due to being laid off for 6 months. But I trust God & I’m believing Him for a Divine miracle. I thank you in advance for the prayers.
Joshua, I’ll pray that God will bless you so much financially that not only will you be able to take care of your family’s needs, but you’ll be able to be a blessing to others as well!!
Wishing you abundance and prosperity in all ways above and beyond your expectations. May you be a blessing to the world.
I first off wanted to thank you for this blog of yours. The first time I stumbled upon it I believe God showed me exactly what I needed to hear using your words. A few days later the “flourishing finish” post helped reassure me and give me more confidence to push on.
I have faith and affirmation from God that I am going to marry my girlfriend who split up with me in July. I believe God is putting me through this trial to straighten out several aspects of my life and draw me to Him before I propose (I was in the process of getting a ring when we broke up) and this was the “perfect” time to do it while I finish up my final courses at college. I tried to move on and get her out of my mind and couldn’t hear Him until I cleared out all of the distractions that I used. Only then was I able to hear Him again and as Psalm 37:4 says “Delight yourself in The Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Well I realized that God gave me the desire to be with her again. He didn’t give me what my heart desired as I used to interpret it, but as I grew closer to Him, His desire for me was put in my heart. I had several other instances where verses started making sense to me as I analyzed and researched them when I finally received the Peace that Surpasses all Understanding last month. Until that point I didn’t know that I could be as close to Him as I felt right then and there. A few days of praying, dreaming about us being married, seeing a few weddings while on my way to classes and plenty of confusion, I finally decided to ask for clarification on the matter. I asked God if I was supposed to wait for her to contact me and start a chain of events leading to our marriage. I had just read your post about the lady who asked for 3 things as confirmation from God so I thought, what the heck, I’ll be extra specific so there’s no doubt. I asked for a plane with a streak in the air. I saw one when I got home and thought it was a fluke so I said, if it was Him there would be 2 more, I turn around and there are 2 more. I didn’t even have to look up, they were just in my line of sight.
Sorry, ended up taking a bit more text than I’d hoped to explain it. But anyways I would appreciate you joining me in asking God to give me guidance. I need to decide this month if I’ll graduate in the spring or fall which determines so much of my future. As this is a different aspect of my life, I’m quite confused whether God will answer me pertaining to my professional life before addressing what He has promised me for my relationship. I just really need guidance and I hope His timing ties everything together all at once. This trial is the hardest, most confusing time of my life but I know He didn’t bring me this far just to leave me.
You’re right, God will NEVER leave you!! I’ll pray that He will guide you to choose the right time to graduate, and bring the woman you love back soon!!
I spoke to God on your behalf this morning. Everyone is deserving of love and my friend the desires of your heart are surely coming to pass. God is going to bring the love of your life back to you. He is going to allow her to see that you are strong-willed and persistent and a fighter for what he wants and believes in. She is going to recognize your efforts because of God. I touch and agree with you, that the desires of your heart are answered by the Father.
Thank you so much. I touch & agree with Heaven on that. God bless you
Im so broken, It’s no joke. So disappointed in myself regarding my life events. It pains me. My hope has been deferred, and my heart is terribly sick. I I can’t help but agree that I am a disappointment, despite trying.
I’ve gotten my degree, worked, fired twice, and for about 2 years, dealing with one downfall after the other.
I love God, I want to believe he loves me too, but Im finding it so hard to believe that he has more in store for me. I feel like, he’s done with me. Everyday is a heart sickening struggle, and I don’t know what to do anymore. :(((
God requires us to go through the desert before we can enter the promised land. I know how hard it is to go through such a long time with so many awful things happening; my last 3.5 years have been as difficult as yours. If we stay in faith, God will bring us blessings so big that we’ll forget about what we suffered. I’ll pray that God will give you the strength to get through the desert, and that your promised land is coming soon!!
I have lifted you up in prayer this morning, because I understand your pain. I asked God to renew and restore your heart and to keep you determined. God is going to show himself to you, reminding you that he is near and he’s aware of the needs you seek. God is blessing you as we speak (well… type in this case). Not only is God going to bless you with employment, but he is going to bless you with a position in which you are going to flourish, lead, and become an incredible asset to your co-workers and employers. He loves you. Trust that he is providing for you. I believe it for you. Stay in faith!
DC, formerheathen, Thank you both for your words so much. I have to admit that I am still more broken and disappointed than ever, but whatever God wants to do with meek little me, he can do it. I give up today, praying for certain things(circumstances) that has deepened my depression, and increased my worry to the point of sickness.
Having lost 2 jobs early in the year , I was blessed last week to interview for a job at my dream hospital, and for a position that was beyond me. I felt like this was it, and the reason for the other failed jobs, but today I found out I didn’t get it. So sadly, I feel constantly reassured that God isn’t going to do the things I pray to him about. Hes going to do whatever he wants. So today, I surrendered praying about my problems. My finances has approached zero, and just when I thought the timing for this opportunity was the saving grace, yet again it wasn’t.
But I appreciate your words. Im sad for myself that I feel this way because im scared to pray to him about the matters of my heart, because they have all taken the turn for the worse. Im depleted. who am I kidding.
but thank you both.
So Lost, you never have to be afraid to talk to God!! Nothing can ever stop His love for you, and He wants to be part of every moment of your life. He sees your suffering, and He has already planned your comeback; I know it’s hard, but you have to hang on a little longer, stay in faith, and wait for God to bring you out of the desert. I’ll pray that it will happen soon!!
Hello, I have stumbled across this blog and like you say, “It’s no coincidence.” I’m at a very sensitive space in my life. Finding that my faith isn’t strong and my lack of trust in God is not where it should be, all in which he deserves. I ask that you please lift me and my companion up to The Father, as I’m in imminent fear that I’m on the verge of losing the love of my life. Please ask him to strengthen our bond, our communication and our love for one another.
In the meantime, I will pray for you who are in need as well. Thank you so so much.
I will pray that God will allow you and your love to create a permanent and wonderful relationship!! 🙂
Hi, Can I ask you what your thoughts on missionaries are.
I went to church this afternoon, a missionary pastor was there to preach today. He said God is asking me to call someone called “Latoya”. So a latoya from the church goes up front. Then he says God is asking me to call someone with a dent on the passenger side door of their car.(which I have). I was hesitant at first, but then he said, it’s a dark colored car, black perhaps(which I have) So I thought Id go up there, maybe someone here too has a black car with a dent. I was the only one.
He prayed on me, what shook me the most, was when he mentioned cancer in my family. he couldn’t tell if it would or is me or someone close. We have no history of that in my family. NONE. but I was shook so when he finished, I got my stuff and left. I couldn’t fathom what just happened.
I believe I either just got told something from God, OR some missionary pastor just declared a bunch of negatives on my life.
I can’t contain myself.
Any thoughts please? anyone
What do I think? He saw your car in the parking lot, overheard someone use Latoya’s name, and that’s how he said those things. He said cancer in your family because almost everyone has cancer in their family, but this time he did not succeed in looking like he had secret knowledge because your family is the exception. This so-called missionary is a skilled cold reader, and nothing more; if he had valid access to this kind of information, he’d be world-famous. Statistically, someone in nearly every family will get cancer in their old age, someone will have heart disease, etc; there’s no reason to be any more concerned about it now than you were before. This man has no pipeline to God, and cannot make you or your loved ones have cancer; forget about him.
Thank you. Very interesting encounter I had today. Thank you for your words.
May Lord Jesus give you justice, happiness and prosperity
Thank you, and may God bless you with all your dreams!! 🙂
Hello, I sometimes wonder whethere it is wrong to stand up for justice. I have seen in my life that people who voice their opinion for justice have to suffer. I am waiting eagerly for God to give me justice.
I am a single working woman. I have exposed the wrong procedures and violation of laws by the housing committee memebrs
Now, they have falsely accused with legal cases and have debited huge amounts to my maintainence bills. In obedience to God’s word, I chose to forgive ny accusers and bless them.
But I need big prayers. Please pray that God will give me victory and settle all issues peacefully and supernaturally clear me from all charges debited to my account. I am standing on God’s promises and want this legal issue to be totally cleared fromt he map.
Pray that God would fight the battle for me; that I must never lose my focus from God.
Also please pray for total healing of the arthritis pain in my left knee.
I am praying for your financial triumph and healing!!
I was not knowing how to live, I simply used to get angry & say bad words to my husband,Did not give money to him.. For the pas 2years we are really struggling… I used save money without telling him.. I dod not consider as a family.. Now we are struggling & I ask God forgiveness for everything.. I really wonder why I behaved.. God please forgive me & bless us to come out from these problems…
I will pray for the compete restoration of your marriage!!
I’ve been tormented now for an embarrassing 25 years over my first love that I have never gotten over. I’ve tried and tried and tried again to forget her. Every once in few years she would come back into my life, only bringing with it the hope of re-connecting with her and having her with me again. It wasn’t a every single moment of every single day thing, and I was ok when she married someone else, but lately she has re-connected with someone who used to be my best friend. This “friend” who ridiculed me when I told him of my ongoing love for her, then had sex with her behind my back and they both kept it from me successfully for years before I found out through a mutual friend. They secretly were seeing each other in the 90s and I fear she bonded with him more than I . She chose him over me.
Through Facebook I found her again and things were going well just as friends, until that old feeling came back again and long story short we met up and had relations. I stupidly thought it was going to re-kindle our past, but it was just a fling for her, although she said all the things I wanted to hear and made me fall in love with her all over again. It meant nothing to her and she broke my heat again.
Any and all past women I’ve met have foolishly been compared to her. Which I realize doesn’t help, but again, I couldn’t help but do.
Now, again through Facebook she has reconnected with the “friend” (after going through my friends list and found her) and went to visit him halfway across the country. Like a fool, I couldn’t help myself but visit both of their pages and saw the devastating pictures and comments towards each other. They look really happy together and it is killing me! I’ve seem to have sunk into a depression that can’t get out of. I’ve blocked both of them from Facebook so I don’t have to witness it. I know they discussed me and laughed about me. He has things and success I don’t have. He now has his own business, along with a big house, motorcycle, a truck and riches. I have a close to minimum-wage job with no savings, no vehicle and anything else that women today seemingly want. Whenever I hear the word “security” I really hear “gold-digging.” Why do women seek materialistic things and not true love? Does it even exist?
I don’t think I have a future in this life (although I do have somewhat of a plan to right that) and I CANNOT stop thinking of them together. I fully realize how ridiculous this sounds. 25 years. Get over it. But I still can’t shake my want for her even though I know we are not right for each other as she only wants material needs and sex. I have have been depressed for about five years now over this. As I said, she wasn’t always on my mind, but now she is. The pictures on their Facebook of them smiling brightly is burned into my brain And no matter what I do, I can’t shake it. It’s the last hing I see at night before I sleep and the first thing I see when I awake.
I read your post on God’s justice. But the only thing I want now is for both of them to die slowly and horribly. I know that is not right, but I fear it’s the only “justice” I can receive. I fear I won’t last to see any of God’s justice. I also fear that although I didn’t do anything to them, maybe their happiness together is my punishment for something. How can this be God’s plan for me? Why is he allowing two people who caused great pain to me and also to others, as she is known to be cold and distant and he had a history of theft, betrayal (he also had an affair with another mutual friend’s wife) manipulation and lies. How can God let this happen? All this is really starting to not only doubt my faith, but God’s existence entirely. Why do good people suffer, while the bad people flourish? why is it when someone works hard and is successful it’s because God gave it to them, but when good people work hard and can’t find success or happiness, it’s because “God works in mysterious ways?”
I’m at my wits end. Even though I have met someone recently, I feel not only will this obsession ruin it and any future relationship may have, I will have this depression over them being together for the rest of my life! That’s not to say they will be together in the future, but the damage is already done. No matter what I do, I can’t escape it the thought of her wanting him over me.
I’ve prayed to have God let me forget their very existence, hoping that will ease my pain, but I know that won’t happen. I only wanted her to remember me as a nice, loving man that shared a small time in our lives and have fond memories of me, but I now know that is gone, which may be the worst part. I just simply can’t let it go. I have had anger issues over this and it has cost me at least one relationship. What do I do? After all this, I’m still hopeful that I’ll have the love of a wonderful, loving, nurturing woman, that my current friend (as it just is right now) may be, but that I’ll ruin that too.
Why won’t God help me?
God WILL help you, Scott!! He has already helped you; He has taken 2 people who have treated you with contempt for years out of your life, put them together to turn their contempt on each other, and brought you a new woman. You need to do your part now; you have to find a way to forgive, and to focus your attention on God rather than this woman who does not deserve you. It will be hard, but God rewards that sort of effort with blessings and favor.
Hello, Scott.
I woke up this morning and I lifted you up in prayer. I pray that God brings you peace, as well as peace of mind and that he’ll allow you to find forgiveness in your heart. He wants you to have a flourishing and prosperous relationship. I pray that his presence and spirit is felt in your life. I wish you all of the best, Scott.
God bless you!
Thank you FH. I was already kind of thinking that myself. That God will put them together and they will hurt each other. Although they’re both pretty cold, so I don’t know if each of them would care anyway. Is it wrong for me to hope that they do hurt each other? I hope God will give me the strength to forgive, because I certainly cannot do it by myself.
Thank you for your response. It helped.
God bless you for all that you do for others.
God was already steering you to the right mindset!! You probably shouldn’t ever hope for harm to anyone, but God understands that that tendency is hard to overcome. He will help you to find a way to forgive; He did for me!!
I’m happy to be able to help. 🙂
Thank you DC. It must have taken hold, because I did feel better by the afternoon and was actaully whistling some tunes on the way to work. I don’t how long it will last, but God bless you for it. 🙂
So glad that you were feeling better. Continue to build with God and show him that you are ready to move forward. When a glass vase breaks and we put it back together, we’ll still see the cracks, but God will put your heart back together and restore you completely. Scott, I promise God has someone special in store for you.
I agree with FH. Refrain from wishing/hoping ill will upon these two, because that defeats the purpose of moving forward. Show them that they no longer have the power to hurt you. God is in control.
It’s been just over a month since this reply was posted and I keep coming back to it as well as other FH posts. I can’t thank you enough DC for the kind words. “I promise God has someone special in store for you,” puts a tear in my eye every time I come back and read it, because I know how awesome it’s going to be when I meet her! I don’t know if she’s ready for me, but am I ever ready for her! Our time is upon us.
So glad that those words have resonated with you, Scott. Allow them to take root within you and continue to stay in faith. The Bible says, “He will give you beauty for your ashes…” I stand in faith and agreement with you. I’m so excited for you. Lol! Praying for you, buddy.
Thank you sooooo much. God bless you forevermore!!
I come here often to lift quite a few of you in prayer. I do this because it feels good to know that their are others out there that genuinely care for our needs.
I also do this because, I, myself struggle with feeling lonely, so it brings me a bit of peace when I see unity and one accord and fellowship within these comments.
This almost therapeutic for me. Being that I struggle with loneliness, I feel accepted here in a sense. Recently (5 months ago) God sent a man into my life (I’m sure of it) and the loneliness has subsided, but… I still struggle with it while he’s away, only because I have never had consistent bonds/friendships with people in my life, so whenever I finally find that I get attached, because It’s something I thrive on.
I just ask that God continues to build and strengthen this new love he has brought into my life as this man does fill that void of emptiness and loneliness that I struggle with. I thank all of you for your kind words and prayers and I will continue to pray and go to God on your behalf as well.
It’s wonderful that you’re praying for others, DC, and it sows a seed that will bring blessings and favor to you!!
Only God can fill the void you feel, and He WILL if you ask Him to. Every man greatly fears a woman who needs him to fill her life, so in order to have a successful long-term relationship you have to offer a man a heart already filled to overflowing, not emptiness. I will pray that God will fill you up and then give you true love with a quality man!!
Thank you for your prayers, they are greatly appreciated!! 🙂
Couldn’t agree more. Thank you so much, FH. I appreciate your prayers.
Please pray for me. I previously posted about my relationship restoration which has not happened. I’m not sure what God wants me to do in life but it seems he wants me to focus on getting a good job out of college. Obviously that has been my plan all along but material things do not motivate me, neither does status or titles. I am motivated by taking care of my loved ones and He has taken away the love of my life only to replace her with better career opportunities. I’m quite torn and would appreciate any prayers to God on my behalf-half of the time I don’t even know what to pray, I just sit in silence and continue in my confused state.
God wants you to show Him that you can flourish where you are, working your hardest with a good attitude, before He adds more blessings. Money allows you to take care of your loved ones, so if God is giving you a path to a good job, then take it and shower Him with gratitude and praise; then, He will provide new blessings. I’ll pray that God will bring the woman you love back soon!!
Please pray for N to contact me and for us to be united again very soon. I am absolutely torn at the moment and feel as if my prayers are not being heard. My heart is so heavy and I need a big miracle in my life soon.
K, God does hear your prayers!! I’m praying for Him to bring N back to you soon!!
FH, is there an e-mail address or somewhere where I could contact you directly and privately? I would love to hear your personal story and perhaps ask you earthly advice from time to time. I tried to find a contact link here, but i can’t seem to find one.
I’m sorry, Scott, but to protect my privacy and anonymity I don’t give out any contact information. Readers who want advice post comments and I reply to them there. If you want to discuss something in depth or privately, I can create a chatroom that we can both use anonymously. 🙂
Gotcha.
Yeah that chat room idea would be a cool deal.
I’ve created a chatroom here:
http://us20.chatzy.com/14584376427926
Leave me a comment and let me know if you’re waiting in the chatroom; if I’m online, I’ll login. It might take time for me to see the comment, so you have to stay logged in or we’ll miss each other; you can leave a message in the chatroom if you have to go but will be back. I look forward to talking to you!! 🙂
I’ll be there soon. Maybe a couple of days. I’m kind of working up the gumption. I hope others find it beneficiary as well.
I slipped tonight, allowing my jealousy and, frustration and anger to dull me to the point where I didn’t enjoy to the fullest, what should have been a excellent concert.
I saw that you checked out the chat; we’ll meet up there soon. 🙂
I’m sorry that the negative energy from those people overlapped the concert!! Ask God to help you forgive them; forgiving will set you free:
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” – Lewis B. Smedes
I need an explanation. How does one wrap one’s head around the explanation of God’s plan for everyone when people that are proud, yes, proud of their past indiscrepancies continue to prosper and those that want to do good and have been in the dark for so long continue to suffer. How does one resign to God’s plan for themselves when they see others, less deserving (or so one thinks) because they are not good people, due to their intentional and constant ridicule, mistreatment and back-handed wrong-doings of others? Meanwhile the decent, patient people are told to wait. Wait for the future. Even if that future is 6 months to 20 years! The undeserving (even though they have had 10-15 years of hard work-how does one argue that, seeing it HAD to be God rewarding them, right?) have been rewarded immediately.
How does one reconcile one’s life of seeming misery when the others treating them so bad live a care-free life of riches, happiness and contentment? It seems being bad is good. It’s too hard to simply tell one to wait, you’re time is coming when they see the undeserving flourishing. And not just a little either. It becomes worse when one summizes that wrong-doers (or even worse, atheists or non-believers, even ridiculers of believers) have been blessed because of their success and the believers continue to toil for years if not their whole lives?
I understand your frustration!! I have a pretty good answer to your question in this post:
I hope that helps!!
Everything you say is so spot on. It’s hard, very hard. It makes me wonder a lot, in an unhealthy way. Because I want to earn everything I have, I focus on still doing what I need to do. But what a disheartening view to see people scheming and lying, and are moving forward. Good Lord, I hope all good people live long to see their best days ever, and when those days come May they not be too weary to fully experience it.
The best things in your life are gifts from God; you don’t earn them, they are unmerited favor. It’s very important to keep thanking God for what you have, so that He will continue to bless you.
Schemers and liars have forfeited the only thing that really matters; closeness to God. They should be pitied, not envied and agonized over. Pray for them.
Don’t worry, God will get us there, with the strength to enjoy it:
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Vidhi,
I too have been betrayed by people I thought were the most important outside of my family. I have been reeling about it for years, much to my detriment, and though it’s much easier to give advice than to take it (I am a prime example) you just have to take baby-steps and concentrate on how awesome and deserving YOU are. You can’t control what other people do and again, it’s waaaaay easier said than done, you HAVE to look out for number one…YOU!
Hi FH. Was hoping for a new post today, lol. Anyways, sorry I didn’t make it to chat (although I said I was going to and totally meant to) but I fell asleep. 😉
To anyone new to this blog. FH is AWESOME! (I think she? lol) has helped me considerably. And of course talking to God, duh. There are still biting questions, but my personal fog is starting to lift. I don’t know if it’ll thicken up again (it pretty much has to eventually right?) but most (not all just yet) thoughts of worthlessness have dissipated and I can see a future. It’s still a little fuzzy, but it’s there.
Thanks FH! ❤
Hi Scott!! Don’t worry, everyone needs to sleep. I’m glad you’re doing better, and thanks for the endorsement!! 🙂
The new post should be up within the next 10 hours… and yes, I’m female.
I have been with the Postal Service for 37 years and I am requesting prayers to be financially able to retire.
I am an actor and I am requesting prayers for Gods will for me as an actor!
I’m praying for financial blessings and an acting breakthrough for you!!
Thanks for being in agreement with me and I pray for you as well that God will bless you according to your needs and desires and according to his perfect and Holy will for your life! Donald
Dear Lord,
I need a job. The toughest part isn’t that the economy is bad, but because I have been on many interviews, and if not all, have been very impressed with me and my credentials. But there is this issue I have in in my life, that has made all those opportunities slip past me. I almost feel better not hoping at all, all because, I have hoped after each interview I have went on, all to leave me more weary.
So today,
my heart is sick. my mind is sick. my body is sick. my soul is sick.
So now, not only do I feel this way, but that I don’t have the spiritual consciousness to know what is being revealed to me by God.
We have to be looking for God’s grace, and his revealing in our lives. But at this numb state, Im afraid entirely.
Please pray for me, PLEASE.
I sometimes can’t pray every night like before, because of how weak I feel overall. I feel like my prayers are the same, and he doesn’t need to hear it 500,000 times . He knows my heart.
Please pray for his mercy and grace to shine upon me. For I have made a mistake, and I need him to forgive me. For I have my whole life ahead of me, I am a person with good intentions, who still wants to experience better days.
God DOES forgive you!! You need to forgive yourself. Lean on God. Keep praying. It does not have to be fancy prayers; just say, “Help me, Father.” I’m praying that blessings and favor will find you soon!!
Please pray for my brother and sister. both are struggling to get a job. My brother is looking for a job for a long time. He works hard but didn’t get any positive results.
My sister is going to get divorced soon and she has to raise her child all by herself for that she need a good job and also she has to recover emotionally.
I request everyone to pray for their career as well as life.
I’m praying for your brother and sister, Mike!!
Thank you friend!! I will pray for u too..God bless you..
I met Jesus ten years ago as I was going through a pretty difficult divorce. He has done some amazing things to pursue me, yet I still struggled to give Him my whole heart and trust Him. I’ve struggled greatly with sabotaging how He’s wanted to bless me and my children, due to deep woundedness of unworthiness. This past year and a half, I’ve been going through some things that have shaken my faith pretty bad, so bad that I lost my faith. The past couple months I have been very depressed. The Lord spoke this to my heart,” The ten years is up. You need to move forward. One door has been shut and another is being opened. Dont cling to the shut one but go through the open one. This ten years was for you to choose me to be your husband, about getting off the fence and truly embracing me, truly believing in me and the presence of me in your life, truly believing who you are in my eyes, desiring to be my princess, truly believing and having faith on my ability to provide for us. This ten years was about you choosing if you wanted to be mine. Every time I sensed that I was losing someone, I thought it was my ex, whom I’ve struggled to let go of for the past ten years, instead of clinging to God. Ironically when I got this message, my heart closed off towards my ex. God wanted to take care of us without assistance from the state, my ex, or my family, yet I seemed to cling to all three instead of to God. Everytime he tried to bless us, I would rob him by sabotaging it. I feel so lost now. Ever since God told me this -which was at the beginning of the month. At the end of last month, on Halloween, no less, the Lord told me He shut the door. I didn’t understand what He was talking about until this message came through a week later. I feel very poor, where before I felt like we lived on the top of the world, even though we didn’t have much money in. I’ve never felt like a single mom and now I do. I feel hopeless and despair. I hate myself for losing the best thing I had. It was because of my inability that the door was shut. I dont see how by the door being shut, there will be something better. I am grieving and cant move forward. Its hard to reach out to God now, knowing on how close we used to be and arent anymore. His free provision has stopped. How do you move forward, following God, knowing that You lost the right to be His princess. Knowing that i lost all that I’ve had with God for the past ten years is something I cant seem to swallow. Looking back, I could really see God’s faithfulness. Why couldn’t I get this earlier? I’ve lost so much because of the unworthiness running so deep, which now highlights the unworthiness. I feel like Im the one God couldn’t save and proved it. I don’t want to be this way. i really want to be all that He has said this ten years was about, but yet I’ve lost my chance. I want to be free of this that keeps holding me back from God’s best.
God NEVER withdraws from us. He is right there with you, the same as He always was. He has already forgiven you for every wrong you have ever done. Talk to Him; He is eager to hear from you!!
Ive come to understand that Ive been backsliding for a while with the lord. I have not been all in. I dont want to be on the fence anymore, but dont know what it looks like to give it my all or to get off the fence. All i know is that Ive done much to hurt God and feel the seperation. I just desire to be close with Him again.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
This is basically the “formula” to having a close relationship with God. Talk to Him all day long. Thank Him for every good thing that happens, however trivial. Tell Him everything you think and feel. Talk to Him like you’re talking to your best friend…. because you ARE!!
Please pray for me.. Right now I am urgently waiting call one person to talk to him on something please touch his heart and let him call mW back and talk to name.. Jesus help me.. Do this miracles right now..that glorified father name.amen amen
I’m praying that he will call!! 🙂
I have been praying for many years for justice so that I may have peace.
Our own family mother father sister brother cousins aunts uncles have used me and my husband as scapegoats.
We have been betrayed they have murdered our name lied upon us stole from us had the sheriff put criminal trespassing charges on us from pure lies that they told the sheriff
We live in a small community that knows everything. They gossip so much and when your family puts you down and show you no respect they think they have the right to kick you too
Pray for us that me and my husband will see justice so that we may have peace.
I’m praying for you and your husband to receive justice and peace!!
Thank you so much.
Can you pray for me, and everyone who reads this. Tomorrow, Dec. 11.2014, I have to attend something that has been a great effect and impact on my mental/emotional/spiritual/ health. I’ve been going for the past year and half, and nothing has changed. More so nothing has changed for my favour.
It has affected my employment, my everything. For the year and half, Ive been unable to find work because of this that fell into my life. .
If it can be over, period, because it’s like a cancer to my life, really. Ive been waiting and waiting but nothing progressed.
I ask for you please to pray that God shows me his merciful favor, and grace.
It’s all I need. that whatever happens tomorrow, (if) anything happens, it’s how he wanted it.
Thank you Everyone who prayed
I’m praying for you!!
May you have a wonderful breakthroughs above and beyond your expectations – I realize this was from a few years ago. God bless you!
Please pray and ask Jesus to unite me with N so that we can spend Christmas together this year. Thank you for your prayers.
I’m praying for Jesus to unite you with N!!
A few weeks ago I was in Detroit attending a concert, when we came out of the parking garage and crossed the street, there was a woman crouched down with her arms wrapped around her knees looking totally despondent. I glanced at her as my friends and I were walking along, but I didn’t do anything. I’m feeling guilty and ashamed about it. I should have bought her something to eat, a coffee, gave her the $20 I had in my pocket, something. At least went over, hugged her and told her that God loves her and hasn’t forgotten about her; but I didn’t. I didn’t do anything. Please pray for her so that the love and favor of God may bless her in abundance. Thank you
I will pray for her!!
God has given you a gift; He has shown you that there are people less fortunate than yourself that you can easily bring some joy to. You can’t help them all, but you can help ONE. You may never see this woman again, but sadly you will see others like her; a few dollars, protein bars, a bag of trail mix, is little to you, but can mean the world to someone who is hungry. Do you have old jackets and sweaters that you don’t wear anymore? Give one to someone who is sitting out in the cold. And get your friends to join you!!
I need prayer for healing – i’ve been ill for 2 years – I was told in Sept that I am going to loose my dentures and am having a hard time rapping my mind around that – I’m only 55 – it is causing me to loose nurishment – My marriage to a man with a Pathalogical Personality is ending and am in need of so much from the Lord at this time. Thank you for your prayers
I’m praying for God to show you unprecedented favor!!
Thank you so very much
Lisa, I pray that little things come your way that make you smile, and give you hope. God Bless You
Thank you and Lord bless you mightily
Hey Everyone,

I don’t know why so many people hate and wish harm to me and my husband.
We have been married for 28 years and in those 28 years we have lost our daughter to cancer both my mother and father has disown me and my husband and now my husband’s mother is destroying us. We literally wants us to go broke.
We are in financial trouble and no one will help. We truly need a financial miracle.
We are good people loyal truthful righteous morals and we help any who ask and people who don’t ask so why do people hate us so much.
Please pray that we will receive a financial miracle get justice so that we may have peace and happiness until we can be with God in heaven Thank you
Sometimes, people feel inadequate compared to virtuous people, and instead of handling it by becoming better people, they react in a hateful way. I’ll pray for God to bring you financial blessings…. and some nicer people in your life!!
Thank you for your prays

I’m praying for God to restore your boyfriend!!
Hello, I stumbled upon your blog whilst praying that God will lead me to what He wants to say to me re: justice, vindication and redemption. A man I have trusted and thought would be my future husband (I am still totally confused – but God is not the God of confusion!) is now in a relationship with someone else though we have just been in contact a few days ago. The amazing thing is that I was prodded (as all the other times) and whispered to by God about this, so randomly I checked his social network site and voila! It was true. I have dreamt dreams of him with a girl locking lips, and even a wedding wherein I was the bridesmaid (… I can’t even imagine why…). Recently I’ve asked Abba not to show him in my dreams anymore. And despite all the other women he flirted with (and I’ve forgiven him for), now God has changed my heart to actually desire to honor the woman he is with by deleting all photos and mementos related to him (if I placed myself in her shoes and realized there might be some others I would’ve gone ballistic). I know God has someone so amazing, a man after God’s own heart, a man fully devoted to Jesus, the creme of the crop *YES*. And so I pray for justice!!!! I am asking Abba for vindication, that even though I would appear as a laughingstock to his friends and family that God will return to me SEVENFOLD all that was taken from me just like your prayer!!! I claim it in the mighty name of Jesus!!!! ❤ I told Him, Lord am I not your daughter? Am I not your princess, the child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that I am treated this way? I ask for vindication and that God will redeem what was stolen — with a fruitful and glorious marriage that only He can weave!!! I asked Him to fulfill His promise of a husband to me (Genesis 22:14). Please stand with me in prayer.
FH, your blog has been so helpful. You have no idea how encouraging and uplifting your blog is and that God has used it to speak to me. I thank you for being a channel of His blessing. If you have a word of knowledge that God has revealed to you about my situation, please feel free to share on this page. I have asked that He speak to you about me when you pray. 🙂 I declare all His promises to you will be fulfilled, not one of the good promises of the Lord have failed – EACH and EVERY ONE has been fulfilled (Joshua 21:45) . I bless you with peace that surpasses ALL understanding to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus continually. May the Lord bring more revelation in your journey to knowing more of Him. 🙂 God bless you FH!
Hello KDT, and welcome; I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog!! Thank you for your praise and blessings!! 🙂
God has a fine Christian man waiting for you. This man might not be like your dream man in things like appearance or occupation, but he will be the one who can join you in your walk with God and take your life to a new level. I will pray that he shows up soon!!
Praying for a loving, Christian husband in Jesus name Amen!
I’m praying for you!!
I just wanted to use this post as a sort of confession/witnessing to others about what’s gone on with me. I don’t want to talk about this with people close to me because I have successfully maintained the facade that I’m emotionally well when I’ll frequently have moments where memories that I’m choosing to not recall bring me back to a time that I’d like to permanently leave behind.
I wrote on here many months ago asking for prayers to restore a relationship with the love of my life. I spent many months after that intensely studying the bible, hoping to unlock some sort of prayer that would help me because I wasn’t seeing any progress. I spent so much time delving myself into getting closer to God and wrongfully assuming that’d bring her back to me.
After a while I had the thought that I was being led on by Him so to speak, and that He was just using this time to bring me closer to Him. I’m not sure if I currently feel closer than before but I’m more knowledgeable than I was.
Before, I had no drive in most aspects of my life. I had the woman I wanted to marry and I was willing to sacrifice all of my professional and intellectual potential to be with her. She was set on where she wanted to live and there aren’t many opportunities for me.
Now I have some direction. I’m closer with the friends who were there for me during my time of need than I was before we stopped talking. I’m well on my way to get my two bachelors degrees from a Big Ten school and will be getting my masters soon after. I’ve gotten plenty of work experience in my field and am currently doing cutting edge research for one of my professors. I don’t have a girlfriend but that’s okay. I’m quite happy, or at least that’s what I tell myself, with the way my life is now. I know I have the potential to get a girlfriend should I choose to put any amount of effort into it (I’m aware of the way I’ve been physically blessed) but I’m just waiting for that next girl to sweep me off my feet. I’m just trying to make myself into the best man I can be for my future wife and sleeping around is not something I care for.
Anyways, I guess the moral of my story is that even when things come crashing down around you, give it some time and you’ll have more than you could have imagined. My life has plenty of potential to make me happier in the long run than my previous lifestyle was able to provide.
I’m glad to hear that you’re making such great progress in your life!! God removed the obstacle that was holding you back, and the more time passes, the more you achieve, the more grateful you will be.
You’ll have several “loves of your life.” I’m probably older than your parents, and my biggest one came just a few years ago. One clue that a person is “the real deal” is that they enthusiastically support your success; someone who would be happy for you to get impressive degrees and then waste them is not the right person for you.
Stay in faith and keep moving forward; God has much more in store for you!!
hello, please pray that I find peace and trust that God gives me experiences for a reason. Help me to please turn my thoughts from a man who doesn’t see me to God and only God knowing that he will fulfill my every need.
I’ll pray for you!! God will come through for you, BD!!
Please pray that the man im with will step up to the plate and decide to marry me. Also that the Lord will move mightily in and through him.
Judi. I’ll pray that God will do a work in your man, so he’ll do right by you!!
Good Afternoon!
I want anyone reading this to know that God hears you. He loves you and he wants you to know that he is working behind the scenes in your life. He hears you and he’s with you. Stay in faith and stay strong. Continue to draw near to him and he will draw near to you! He won’t fail you.
He’s mending broken hearts, restoring peace of mind, increasing finances, bringing love into your lives.
You all are in my prayers as well. May God bless all of you!
Thank you for the lovely post, Delshon!! 🙂
Thank you so much Delshon, Amen!
Trusting for a job with pay that’s better than I had when laid off. Also hoping to heal from mother’s passing.
I’m praying for you!!
I ask that you please pray for me to find a new job quickly. One in which I will be respected and fulfilled and can support myself with. I’ve prayed for you and EMF and thank you for your kindness.
I’m praying for you, CG!! Thank you for your prayers!!
Please pray for me as I am currently going through some turmoil in my life, my love life is not going well and is causing me severe emotional pain and unhappiness I need things to change positively, my father is terminally ill, my family are experiencing severe financial difficulty and my career is at a dead end. It feels like problems are coming left, right and center and we are on our knees crying to God for help, healing, blessings and breakthrough. thank you for your prayers
I’m praying for you and your family, Cl!!
Thank you very much.
Please pray that God protects me during this time of uncertainty. That He will be my justice, and I will see that even though I may not have family in “high places”, that He will show His favor upon me and my life, and everything will be rectified. Thank you.
I’m praying for you, Madella!! God will come through for you!!
I would like for you to pray about my situation at the moment I’m really dealing with a lot of things but to sum it up my baby brea’s is 4 years old and I had to give her to my mom temporarily she drinks a lot and I’m facing 1 to 5 years in jail for something that I didn’t do my soul mate Shawn Jones is facing the same thing and is still incarcerated at the moment. The police came to my house at 2 a.m. looking for someone else Shawn son he was not there but they found marijuana in my house and is trying to charge us both with it and trafficking because they found over $6100.00 in my house which was my income tax money and savings. and warrant endangerment of a minor because my baby girl Brea was in the home. We all was asleep Shawn Brea and I so when we saw them we where in the bed and my child stayed sleep until the next day. I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father God bless us with a miracle that we can put our lives back together and we get married and have my child back and that we can be a family. Do to this terrible thing we are without a home and since they kicked in our back door we now lost everything we once had. God has told me to write this down so I have faith that I will be prayed for God bless you and thanks again for the prayers and taking the time out of your day to read my story I know God is good all the time even in our bad ones
I’m praying for your family, Julynthia!!
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my prayer request and thanks for praying I know that I need all the prayers that I can get
Dear prayer friend, will you pray the following prayer in agreement with me and my family every day up to my sentencing date on June 24th in a few weeks? I need a miracle. I need my case to be completely dismissed. The following prayer is one I have been meditating on but I do NOT want to limit God and if you are led to pray something different, then I trust whatever God is directing you to do. Thank you for caring for me and praying for me. I have a father who is in end stage renal failure and I truly need a clean record to be able to work and help care for him. He is in desperate need of a transplant and he was planning to have it around this time, however this whole situation put me out of a job fast and I was diagnosed with severe ptsd. He continues to work against medical advisement not to because of all my legal bills and other bills I completely stayed on top of before:-( Will you pray that miraculous victory will come from heaven?… even if it requires a new piece of unexpected evidence that will bring overwhelming conviction to the Judges mind and the ethical boards mind that I am innocent of the charges and that brings outstanding favor to me so I can get my old dream job back? I desperately need God’s help. Terri, Jaimie, and Jenny are the names of the Christian friends that betrayed me and caused immense suffering for me and my family. I gave so much of my time and heart and help to them and never expected or saw any of this coming….it has hurt me deeply and I really feel like all three do not realize the immense pain they have caused. Will they ever know? I at the recommendation of my attorney have not spoken to them since in several months.
God please bless the special individual who has agreed to help me in this serious matter.
Shelly
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you and praise you for bringing a perfect, outstanding miraculous victory to our serious situation & that by the power that God has deposited on the inside of us & by our unwavering faith in the promises of His Word in Mark 11:23-24, we command all criminal & ethical charges against Shelly to be completely obliterated & destroyed & that they will die at the root NOW in the authority & name of Jesus. We claim it by faith, we take it, we believe it, & we receive it for Shelly. We demand that Shelly’s name be completely vindicated & restored w/ honor in Jesus’s mighty name. We agree & believe that we receive by faith that Judge Blink at sentencing on June 24th will read all character letters favoring Shelly, & that Judge Blink will take the direction that God places on him, to be wholeheartedly convinced that Shelly is completely innocent of any criminal intent or charges. We pray in the authority & name of Jesus, that Judge Blink will dismiss this case entirely. We command this case to die at the roots now in the name of Jesus, & command life into Shelly’s deliverance. We command w/ boldness that whatever piece of evidence, what ever master chest pieces needs to be played, to prove her innocence to the courts & boards, will be released NOW from the spiritual realm & manifested into the natural realm by the power of God in the name of Jesus. Anything or anyone that is holding this miracle up for Shelly & her family, will obey God’s voice NOW & line up their thoughts, words & actions w/ the Word of God in the authority & name of Jesus. Through the power of God, we claim & command in faith that Shelly & her family are under the protection of the 91st Psalm & we bind Satan & all his evil forces NOW, in the name of Jesus, from bringing anything negative about Shelly out of the mouths of those who have falsely misjudged Shelly, unless it is directly from God. You are Shelly & her family’s shield, El Shaddai, & no weapons formed against Shelly will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We take refuge in your word, where Shelly & her family are inaccessible in the secret place of the most high God, the blood of Jesus.
We command, in the authority & name of Jesus, that those who have acted as Shelly’s Christian friends, yet betrayed her behind her back by rushing to judgement, leaning on their own understanding & sensationalizing & dramatizing an honest mistake (w/ good intentions to help someone) will be shamed by their wickedness of falsely accusing Shelly w/out knowing all the facts. We command that the threats the client made on Shelly’s life & against her career will be taken into serious account by Judge Blink. Shelly & the Johnson family have the blessing of God on their lives. We pray that God will intercede in judgement on behalf of Shelly, in the authority & name of Jesus, onto those who carried out wicked deeds w/ malicious intent, by forcing the client & others to take action that otherwise would not have been taken. We trust by faith that God will publically defeat their efforts to harm Shelly for their own self glory & entertainment, & that God will hold them accountable to the depths of pain they caused by taking their neighbor to court & not acting out of brotherly love & peace in accordance w/ God’s word. But, Shelly and the Johnson forgive those who have falsely misjudged her and we pray for their own salvation and that their hearts will be softened soon by the truth–AMEN
I have been crying so much the past several months. There is proof that I was trying to get this client’s money back to her right away before I knew anything from the police on Jan 2nd. Instead of two Christian ladies who claimed to be my friends as well as the client just asking me to hand over her saved money, they went directly to the police instead and to my ethics boards to file complaints. What hurts me is that they did this on the very day they pressed charges against me, ‘while’ I was trying to reach them to get the money to the client as quickly as possible and they led me to believe that everything would be okay and acted like they didn’t know what was going on. However, two months later in March, I found out that the ones who did this to me, were the very friends I trusted would never do something rash and hurtful such as this. This client that I was truly trying to help, and had been helping for a long 18 months, claimed she was the victim of constant sexual abuse & violence by her parents & a witness to the most gruesome of crimes. She claimed her parents were stealing her money & every option we had her try to save the money, resulted in the client claiming that her parents brought worse harm to her. I mentally & psychologically broke w/ this case, & a lot of my decisions over 18 months of working w/ this client, we’re fear-based. I recently found out that these claims were false & that police determined that she was playing games w/ all of us. I lost my new dream job that I worked so hard for due to the allegations & charges. This job was an answer to prayer, as it was a healthier situation. I lost my home, income to pay my bills, & my poor Dad has renal failure & is on kidney dialysis. He planned to retire this Spring & have his kidney transplant but has had to work against medical advice to help me w/ all the legal costs, thus delaying a transplant he desperately needs. My parents emptied alot of their retirement savings to help me financially. I have never ever seen my mother, this most giving woman of God, tear up so much as I have noticed the past several months. It pierces my heart to have to see it:-( I have been standing on the Word (1 Peter 2:24) that I am delivered & freed of all charges & any sanctions or negative consequences. We receive that word & believe God is not done yet. The charges were plead down to 3rd degree theft on May 6th but I don’t believe that God would half way deliver me from these charges. I have to trust that God is bigger than man, the law, & all circumstances, & that He desires my total freedom from these charges. Please trust w/ me that all broken pieces that resulted from this situation will be healed, restored, & made whole again as if it never happened. Please pray in agreement w/ me that my former boss, Chrystal, will ask me back to the group practice & will be convinced of my innocence.
Thank you for agreeing in faith for me. I would feel so much peace to know you will stand with me daily for my miracle.
Shelly
I’m standing in agreement with you, Shelly!! God will make it right!!
Please pray for my deliverance, Gods help and provision in this valley I’m in. Please pray He forgives me right this minute of any sins I may have done and gives me another chance and that if it be His will, my fiance and I can be reconciled and married soon, or, if He has someone else for me, that He will allow us to be drawn together soon bu His Spirit. In Jesus Name, amen.
I’m praying for the right man to come to you soon!!
Thank you FH, God bless you!😊
Please pray that this week is a big success for me and that I get the response that I am waiting & praying for. Please also pray for my main intention to be finally granted. Thank you for your prayers.
I’m praying for you, Kim!!
Please pray with me for a job. I have been unemployed for 3 years help me get strength to wait for God’s timing.Amen and God bless.
You’re in my prayers, Samm!!
I am believing god for overall enhancement in my life,better job,better place,new car. Eventhough i thank the lord everyday for what i have,i still look forward to increase. I am also believing Jesus to give me the strength not to become discouraged when things dont happen the next day. I found out that the woman i want to spend my life with has a love interest because she is not ready to settle down. But i still thank God for his blessing of her becoming my wife and i wont let the enemy let my thoughts bring me down.
I’m standing with you in prayer!!
To hear from a man I love, my friend. We had a problem right before Easter, please pray God has been ministering to him and to me while we have been apart and that we could soon reconcile and that things will be more loving and right between us. Forgiveness and peace in our relationship. Prayers for the Lord to put it on his heart to contact me. Thank you. I miss him and I pray the problem can be resolved. God bless you.
I’m praying for God to restore your friendship!!
Hi FH, everyone,
Please pray for the Lord to open a way of deliverance for me. I’m stuck between the “Egyptians and the Red Sea” (Exodus 14) ie: no way out! Thank you and God bless you for your prayers.
I’m praying, J!!
I would like to ask prayers for my relationship, both with my significant other and with God. I ask that you please pray for my significant other and the decision he will have to make tomorrow, and that God will give me strength and help me choose the right words to use. I know God has a plan for everyone, but I just hope that either our relationship will work out or I will find someone better for me soon. Thank you so much. God bless!
Remember, Shay, any relationship that you are in, you should have equal decision power for. Don’t worry about using the right words to get him to stay with you, focus on what YOU want and need, and whether or not he will give you those things. I’m praying that God will guide you to make the right choice tomorrow!!
Happy Sunday morning! I’ve recently discovered something about someone that I truly hold near and dear to my heart, someone that I love and care about. It has since left me discouraged, concerned, heartbroken, confused and sad. I ask that you all pray that God will bring forth vindication and justice. That he will grant me the grace to be strong and maintain a steadfast faith and trust in him. Please ask God to surround me with his presence and spirit. That my current circumstance stands within his rule and reign. I know he’s near and he hears, but there’s nothing like knowing there are others who will stand with you in prayer and believe for the best with me. Thank You and may God add a blessing to your lives this morning.
I’m praying for you, DC!!
God bless you DC
Hello, I just happened to be looking for comfort and inspiration and here I am! I really liked what I have read so far and I am hoping to get prayer for a situation that is causing much fear and stress for me. I would like to pray for good health and continued progress for my husband and I. We have been married for 11 years. We married very young with very little preparation for the task and along the way we both made some big mistakes. Recently, we finally decided to get counseling and so far, so good. Our counselor is a Christian Bishop and he has really been helpful in finding the roots of our issues and encouraging us to go forward. However, I struggle with anxiety and have been terrified that our mistakes are too big and something bad will happen to snatch away the new found love and connection we have. The level of anxiety I have is robbing me of the joy and ability to focus on what we have been waiting on for so long. I am asking for a prayer for peace of mind, focus, good health, and continued success for my marriage. Thank you in advance.
Nothing is too big for God to overcome!! Your fears can spoil your blessings, though, by preventing both you and your husband from enjoying them, so it’s crucial to show your faith by overcoming them. I’m praying for you!!
Thank you. I know you’re telling the truth. I feel like this is all happening to teach me to be more faithful. I haven’t always been in the past but I am willing to start now.
God is always happy to see your faith, and when you start showing it you will see new blessings!! Let me know how it goes!!
As I asked for prayers above regarding the Egyptians and Red Sea experience, I was in a devotional meeting this morning and a Warrant for my Removal from my apartment was put on my door. I have three days to remove my belongings from this aoartment or they will remove me themselves. I have tstayed with the Lord, praying. fasting, giving and tithing out of any money I receive, etc. i have nowhere to go and no one to help. I literally need a miracle. Thank you for prayers.
J, God has a way out of this!! He sometimes wants us to wait in faith, so call a women’s shelter and follow their guidance while looking for God to bring you an opportunity. I’ll be praying for you!!
Have packed up almost everything, got a storage area, no word from God how I will get the things moved and where I will live. Have to be out Friday the 26th. Please pray I do not have to be in a homeless shelter. Thank you. I’m still waiting for the windows of heaven to open as He promised. God bless you!
I’ll pray that you don’t have to go to a shelter, J!!
Can you not get help from the church you have been tithing to? Family or friends? I know it’s hard to ask for help, but by asking you give those people the chance to be a blessing to you.
Sometimes God wants to see if we will stay in faith even if we’re crushed by disasters; thank and praise Him every day, and He will bring you out of this in a miraculous way!!
Hi, my name is Estelle (Bloemfontein, South Africa), thank you for answering a question I had been asking for years, without getting an answer that reaches my soul. it is a blessing when an answer quiets your search.
You’re welcome, Estelle!! 🙂
Hello Estelle,
I am also from South Africa (Johannesburg) so thrilled for you and may God Bless you!!
Hello FH
In March I asked to help me pray for a good, loving and Christian man. I excited to let you know that I have met the most wonderful man, caring, generous and Christian man. We’ve been courting for almost a month and things are going really well thus far. He is already moving so fast and wants to commit…I am very happy!
Please let’s agree in prayer that everything goes well and that he is the one!!! 🙂 Blessings!
That’s wonderful news, Faith!! Isn’t it amazing how fast prayer can work? I’m praying in agreement that everything goes well!! 🙂
All Glory be to God…who is merciful and so full of great grace! We are truly blessed!!! Thank you for the prayers and God Bless!!!
Love, Faith
I’m asking that you will stand with me in prayer. I left my husband of eight years who is/was spiritually abusive – just found out some really ugly things about him. I’ve been trying to battle fear and anxiety for so long now – doctor’s giving anti-anxiety meds – slipped back into pain med addiction – just covers the pain but what a lie. I had a dream that witchcraft is coming against me (my husband has friends that curse me) my son has turned against me. We go to court on July 27th please pray for favor and deliverance and healing for my body – this has just been too much for me. Thank you
Don’t worry, God has your back!! I’m praying for you!!
Thank you so much – please pray financial provision – found a room to rent starting July and it will tight this month for food $. Bless you and thank you so very much. Lisa
Is there a dollar store anywhere near you? You can get fantastic deals on food at most of them. At regular grocery stores, potatoes and apples are very cheap if you buy them in those big mesh bags. And there’s usually a rack at the back of the store with day-old bread and foods that have been discontinued or have a damaged box; it’s typically half off on everything. I’ll be praying that you can eat well, and have explosive financial blessings, when God opens up the windows of heaven!!
Thank you so very much – I’m gluten intolerant and having a very hard time maintaining any weight – very weakened state right now – praying the Lord fill me with his strength just to make it through. Bless you and thank you for your prayers. Lisa
Living gluten-free is tricky under the best of circumstances. If you look at the bottom shelf in the cereal aisle, there are gluten-free cereals that are not the big brands but are just as good, and way less expensive. I know it sounds weird in the summer, but traditional oatmeal in the canister is cheap and nutritious; you don’t have to eat it hot. And store brands save $ while being better quality than you might think. Show God that you will do your best in the worst situations, and He will respond with unprecedented favor!!
Pray for my financial breakthrough
Praying, Tom!!
Good afternoon, guys.
I’m hoping that you guys can stand with me in prayer as I’m just in need of strenght. That God will continue to grant me the grace to place one foot in front of the other during this emotional challenge of mine.I’m still in process of healing from time that I feel has been take away from me. I know God is near, but I just ask that he contines to strengthen my faith and trust in him as I draw near to him.
Thank you so much. I always feel encouraged and strengthened in knowing that other men and women of God are going before me and standing in agreement with me in prayer (I’ve subscribed, so I always see when you guys are seekig prayer and I go to our Heavenly Father on your behalf, as well). God bless you!
I’m standing with you, DC!!
Pray for my finances please
I’m praying that God will open up the windows of heaven for you, John!!
Would you pray for me to walk in the supernatural favor of God like Abraham?
I’m praying for you, Butler!!
Please pray God heals my daughter and i and restores our joy and peace and harmony, blessings. It’s. Been the worst time of my life and hers. God bless you.
I’m praying for you, M!!
Good evening. I’ve been feeling very unfulfilled and worthless lately as if I’m just here on earth occupying space. I’m hoping you can stand with me in prayer and ask God to help me find my purpose. That God will strengthen and lift me up. I know God is ruler of all things. I trust and I beleive in advance. Thank you!
I will absolutely be praying for you!! Keep in mind that most people don’t have a single grand purpose for their lives. God wants us to do many things, like working hard, studying the Word, lifting up the people around us, and helping those less fortunate; you can do all those things while waiting to see if God has anything unusual planned for you.
Please stand in prayer for me as I’m trying to get over some depression. I recently went thru a breakup about a month ago because “he needs time to gather himself” & I’m trying to seek good & fight the negativity of my thoughts instead of becoming bitter. I know I’m never to question God but I don’t understand why & im only 19 & im trying to get closer to God because I think that’s what He intended to happen. My thoughts/emotions become my nightmare in fear that the next guy is set to hurt me tho I’m still young. I just want to grow through this
I’m also a full time student with a full time nursing job that j just got a week after the breakup (weird how that happened) & I have a part time job as a cashier. I pay my own bills plus college & I have my own car. Yet I feel like I’m not good enough or that I’m never going to get thru this grieveing tho people say you have to allow yourself to grieve
Jojo, you’re clearly a good girl working hard. You’ll have many relationships that will end in break-ups, that’s a part of life; in less time than you think, you’ll have forgotten about that immature boy.
The Bible doesn’t say that you can’t question God. It’s silly to do it, though, because whatever He does is by definition right. Don’t worry about being good enough; God says that you are!! Keep working hard, get over your grief, and keep moving towards the amazing destiny God has for you!!
The thing is I don’t know how to get over my grief. Do I need to study the bible more? Pray more? What? I find myself thinking about him everyday then I eventually end up crying. I’m not the type to just be in a relationship with any man because I have high standards (I guess I was too dumb to realize I lowered my standards for him) but yet I get in fear of never finding someone cause it feels like there aren’t good guys. I don’t mean to be nagging just venting a little
I can’t match DC’s great response, but here goes: There’s nothing you need to do to get over grief, Jojo; it will fade away naturally. I know it feels like it won’t, but it always does. Keeping as busy as you can, and distracting yourself with any kind of activity, will probably make it easier.
There are the same # of good guys that there have always been, and you will have many relationships in your life; it’s natural to feel sure that you’ll never find anyone else, but everyone always does. Just keep moving forward, fulfill all your responsibilities, and stay close to God; He’ll see you through it. 🙂
Hi, JoJo. One of the reasons I submitted a prayer request was because I’m going through something quite similar. I had to understand that crying and grief is a part of the process. You’ll cry and you may even get angry, but as long as God knows that when all of your anger settles and your tears dry, that you still trust in him to pull you through, you’re on the right track.
I live vicariously through being there for others and supporting others, because I’ve never had someone that I could confide in outside of God. I like to consider myself a person of love, peace and harmony. I ask God to humble me everyday. That he continues to grant me a heart of pure intentions, a merciful heart, a forgiving heart, and a spirit of love. Do not let a sour apple spoil your great heart. You will love again and God has an incredible man that is ready to match your kindness and great intentions. Just trust in God during the process. It’s hard, yes, but our omnipresent God is surrounding you.

Thank you guys so much for taking the time out to help me. It might not seem like a lot but for me it is! I love that there are still generous & welcoming people in the world. Please continue to pray for me as I am praying for you all. Thank you so much
First, I’d like to say that the Good Lord has blessed me in many ways. HE has always been there when I or we needed HIM. We are very fortunate to be blessed in every way.
However, I do have a prayer request. I’m currently unemployed and have been trying hard to find a job in my field of expertise. It has been a challenge finding a job. I have two interviews next week and I ask that you pray for me asking the Lord to give me the strength, courage and confidence to do well in the interviews and answer the questions like they want me to.
Having said that, I also would encourage you to continue praying for all the people suffering around the world no matter what they are suffering from!
God Bless!
I’ll be praying for your interviews!!

Thank you and God Bless!
Love, Faith
Thank you for your prayers!! I’ll continue to pray for you!! 🙂
Dear FH thank you so much for the work you are doing, I have read in the bible that nothing we do in the work of the Lord is useless, it will bear fruit, so I have also seen your prayer request and im on it. I recently read a message you posted on July 30 2012 titled “God will bring justice to your life” and it spoke to me, so much so that I felt compelled to leave a post. I have experienced a lot of betrayal from people I called friends in the recent past and everything just happened so first and from so many former friends that it was so overwhelming, at some point I thought I needed therapy. Anyway reading your post just sort of brought a sense of peace to me and it also made me realized I need to work on forgiveness and letting go, nobody is perfect so that’s what im working on right now. What I would really like though is for you to pray for me to get a husband. That’s my prayer request.
Regards Lynne
I experienced multiple betrayals too, Lynne, so I know where you’re coming from; God has brought amazing restoration to me, and He will do it for you too!! I’ll pray that God will bring you a fine Christian man!! 🙂
Thank you 🙂

My family needs prayer right now. My mother has been sick for three months with respiratory problems and recently had a biopsy; we’ll be finding out soon if she has an incurable illness and will have to be put on a waiting list for a lung transplant. She’s doing pretty well right now but I know a progressive disease can be harsh, and might require me to step up a lot to help my dad take care of things if Mom’s health sharply declines. We all need the Lord’s grace and care as we face this difficult situation.
God is good, and I know He can bring healing to my mom in whatever form He chooses. I’m thankful to live in an era of advanced medicine. It’s remarkable to me how the Lord has responded to my fear and stress with His comfort and the peace that passes all understanding, and I feel closer to Him with each new day. My parents are believers too, and He is holding us all in the palm of His hand. God is so good!
I’m praying for your family, Brooke!!

Why would god not answer when we need the help now I am not trying to sound ungreatful but we stayed on a farm where the owners did not take care of their animals for 10+ years so the animals got the care they earned an deserved the bible even mentions the wellbeing of animals an their owners we went with out true needs lots of times that were lots of times coats ,boots our kids school needs so these animals would not die in vain god sees all an many other knew this farm family well for these10+ years I prayed the animals would go to a new life because they deserved better them there an as of august they did an I am happy they are now in a wonderful life but we asked god to help us we need a job no income now hoping our obetence would earn a job an why would he not answers a true now need not a to gain need to provide those precious animals went a wonderful life they earned an deserved an I am glad now we need gods help for a job now please explain we are not sinning or doing any crime have repented millions of times what now?
You can’t earn God’s blessings, Lori; they are all a gift of grace. No matter how many good deeds you do,there will never be a point at which God will answer your prayers immediately, or where He will guarantee to answer them at all. We never have the right to demand His blessings, or to complain if we don’t get them.
God alway wants us to do our best with what we have with a good attitude, and stay in faith; keep doing that, and blessings will come.
Please pray for Donalds tiger for complete healing in jesus
I’ve never prayed for a tiger… or is that the name of a pet? Either way; praying!! 🙂
Tiger is a cat he has cancer an they love him like a child
Why does god allow animal abuse an neglect animals are born everyday through human will god allows this an when they are abandon god sees this ,when they are neglected god sees the heart of the owner so he knows they do this most times willingly animals are innocent why does god allow these wrongs if he is in control
God gave us free will, which means that people can do bad things as well as good things; some people choose to do bad things. The only way to change that would be to take away our free will and turn us into puppets with no meaning to our lives; He will never do that.
Please pray for Kelly she is 9 years old an has a brain tumor an they can not do surgery please pray for miracle for this precious child ,thank-you
Praying!!
Please pray that I may get a job soon, as a primary bread winner, I am desperate to work again.
Praying!!
Please will you pray for god to open a door for a job to provide an that god will give me a sign I will know my life has meaning I feel defeated thank-you an god bless you !
God will cause you to triumph!! Praying!!
I was dating a girl for 3 years, it was a long distance relationship. I’m in the military, for the first year everything was wonderful, but the second year, I am in an elite unit and they forced me to only see her in January. All the way through June, I wasn’t allowed to see her. Too many missions were going on. She asked if I would see her dying grandmother in June, unfortunately, the military didn’t allow me too. The military said I could see her in August. Her grandmother died before then. She was really hurt and ended it with me.
I talked to her for months and fixed the relationship. I had prayed that God would only bring her back if it was meant to be. It was what I thought was a real answer to prayer.
We talked and rebuilt the relationship, at Christmas she asked if I would come see her on Valentine’s Day. I talked to my NCOs and they told me to see her in January and a week for Valentine’s Day.
I filled out the paperwork and was called into the officer’s office to be told I was going to Africa on a mission immediately. I told her and she said ok, I’ll see you in March.
While in Africa, I ended up injured and they sent me home. Because of DVT risk, I couldn’t take a flight to her state. The doctor told me I could travel in April. When April came, we talked about it and she told me to come visit her for her Induction, she said it was really important. My surgery date was June 23rd.
So I made plans to see her in May. Unfortunately, the doctor moved the surgery date up and so I had surgery a week before her Induction. When I told her I wasn’t going to make it, she called me back crying and broke up with me. She said, it was like God was telling her we weren’t to be, because it was a repeat of the year before where I didn’t see her for the year.
Two weeks later, I had to watch her get asked on a date on FB and then asked out. Since then, they have broken up 6 times in 4 months and are working on the 7th try.
Recently, I was given a book, “The 5 Love Languages”, she definitely is Touch and Quality of Time. She waited for 2 years for me to fix it so I could see her. She was willing to move out here when she finished school next year.
Now, I’m really in a lot of pain. I feel betrayed by God. I don’t understand why he gave her to me, and then gave her back, only to rip her from me again.
I’ve been relying on Luke 18:1-8 and Mark 11:24. I have been pleading for hours and hours.
My prayer request is as follows:
-Minnie breaks up with her current BF who is NOT a Christian.
-Minnie softens her heart to me.
-Minnie starts talking with me again.
I saw your post about justice. I really want a Reconciliation Justice. I want her to feel the pain of loss, so I can help (with God’s help) to mend her heart. I want to reconcile to her where she never doubts my love or commitment to her.
I also want God to not bless a New Age, Law of Attraction believing heathen to be blessed. I would like to spend the rest of my life disciplining Minnie and leading her and the family we could have in a relationship with Christ.
I’d really like your prayers. I know you won’t pray as hard as I do, but every added prayer, I’m sure will help. I’m really going to pester as the man with the travelling friend who needed bread from a friend and the widower did the judge.
God didn’t betray you, Timothy!! He neither gave you that lady nor took her away; she used her free will to do those things.
God won’t respond to prayers asking for other people to suffer, even if you think that suffering will benefit them; that includes praying for someone “to feel the pain of loss,” or for a couple to break up, even if they are not married and/or not Christian. Asking Him to not bless someone, whatever the reason, is a guaranteed no-go too. Also, God is working for Minnie’s happiness as well as yours; if she doesn’t want to be “disciplined,” prayers for that will fail.
I’ll pray that God will find a way to bring you and Minnie back together with joy!!
Ok, i really do want her back in my life. I prayed for protection in Africa on that mission, it went bad…
I am not asking for her not to be blessed, but I am asking it ends so I can fix the relationship.
Why does God allow so many bad things to happen to those who are “sons”? I
Why could God harden Pharoah’s heart, but couldn’t soften hers for a little longer? She couldn’t travel either, her new job wouldn’t give her 2 days off in a row to come.
I’m sorry that so many things have gone badly for you!! God does not make everything go our way no matter how much we pray, especially where other people are involved; we just have to accept that.
You asked her for boyfriend to not be blessed; God is not ok with that. We should NEVER ask for anything negative for anyone.
God allows bad things to happen because since the fall of Adam we have had to live in a world where sin and bad things can occur. Being a “son” does not earn you a trouble-free life.
God CAN soften her heart, but He won’t do so unless He thinks it’s the best thing to do; clearly He does not think so, at least for right now, and He is always right. Prove to Him that you trust Him, that you are obedient to His will, and that you will flourish where you’re planted, and He will respond with unprecedented favor.
Also, am I not to bring all requests to God?
Philippians 4:6
I really want her back in my life…Is that so bad? She waited 2 years and while I probably didn’t pray enough, I did pray that God would give me opportunities to see her and being in the unit I’m in…it just didn’t happen.
Yes, God does in general want us to bring our requests to Him, but He won’t grant an unacceptable request, and if you ask for such requests that does not increase your likelihood of getting other requests answered.
There’s nothing bad about wanting her back, but if that would not be in your best interests, or in her best interests, God won’t do it. She might still do it out of her free will… and then it’s up to you to give her the life she wants, and if you don’t do that she will use her free will to leave again.
Thank you for your reply. I was wondering something. You said it is wrong to pray that someone not be blessed, but did not David do that?
Psalms 109:
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
5 They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my friendship.
6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
8 May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the Lord,
that he may blot out their name from the earth.
I’m not even asking that. I’m just asking for a withholding of blessing. David was pretty harsh in his prayers.
That said, I’ll withhold those prayers and just pray for reconciliation.
Thank you for your prayers, I do appreciate them.
David also slept with a married woman and had her husband killed so he could have her all to himself. Just because David did something doesn’t make it right; only Jesus was/is infallible. Jesus never did, or asked God to do, any harm, either directly, or indirectly by withholding or taking away blessings; that is our gold standard.
A few verses to consider:
Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would like them to do to you
Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
Luke 6:27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you
Leviticus 19:18 “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge
Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse
Luke 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you
I’m still praying!!
Thanks for your continued prayer. Her birthday is Sunday, I’ll text her then. I know she hasn’t broken up with him, but maybe we can at least text a bit.
She replied to my text on her birthday. We texted quite a bit over the day. It’s obviously not fixed, but it was a real answer to
Prayer. Thank you.
Please keep praying as I am continuing praying.
That’s great news, Timothy!! 🙂
Remember that God is answering Minnie’s prayers as well as yours, and so what you offer her needs to be in line with what she wants. It’s very unlikely that she is interested in you disciplining or leading her, so if you want to be with her long-term you’ll need to adjust your vision of how a relationship with her would work. Remember, she has free will; God won’t “give” her to you, you have to win her over. I’m still praying!!
Thanks! Right now, I’m just focusing on her struggles. I’m praying that her struggles are God’s way of calling her back to His grace.
Dating isn’t on the cards right now…
Just take it slow-God will sort it out!!
Thanks, I am. I talked to her a bit over a day ago. She feels abandoned, because she has such a poor family that doesn’t want her. So I talked to my parents and they suggested she come meet here for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have a bunch of soldiers planning on coming, so it’d be a great time and everything.
I guess the prayer is to soften her heart to be willing to accept a ticket to come out for a few days. It’ll also give the opportunity to see a loving family that is accepting and loves the Lord.
I appreciate your prayers.
What a compassionate idea!! Be gentle about how you offer free tickets, because some people have a hard time accepting big gifts. In the true spirt of charity, you could pretend that you were using frequent flier miles, even if you’re not. Still praying!! 🙂
Well, I just found out that she’s been going into diabetic shock regularly, because her hours were cut back, she doesn’t have insurance. So she hasn’t been able to pay for the $350 a month in insulin costs while looking for a second job.
I tend to save that a paycheck, because I live frugally with the military (I give to my parents too) and so I sent her enough to get her through the month.
Pray she comes, my parents and pray she gets a second job. I still hope to repair the relationship, but that isn’t the priority right now. Her health is.
That’s terrible news about her health, her hours and her insurance!! I’m pretty sure that Obamacare provides free medical care for low-income people in every state, though; can you help her figure out how to gain access to healthcare?
It’s wonderful that you help provide for your parents, and that you have helped Minnie as well; God loves a cheerful giver!! Just be sure in your heart of hearts that there is no part of you that thinks that you are buying her back, or buying her affection; if she accepts your money but still does not want to get back together with you, will you be angry, or will you be ok with that?
I agree that the focus of our prayers should be for her health right now; I will be praying for that, and the other things as well.
FH,
I had prayed that God give me a sign, I knew she was struggling, but I didn’t know if I should offer to help. I prayed that if she needed help, she would provide a sign. The next photo she posted, she stated she was going into diabetic shock regularly, because she didn’t have the insulin.
I prayed that if I gave her the money, that God would make sure my heart didn’t expect anything back. So when I did, I told her I would never hold it over her head, irrespective of if we get back.
I don’t give offering expecting it back, I shouldn’t do the same for her.
Thanks for your prayers. I keep praying for people and my prayer book list gets longer daily.
*Site wouldn’t let me post a reply.
You’ve asked God to help you be able to give in the way He wants us to; that gives you the green light to offer. There are benefits to helping someone who is that broke:
Luke 14:14 (ERV)
14 Then you will have great blessings, because these people cannot pay you back.
The biggest help you can give her, though, is to help her get signed up for the FREE healthcare that low-income people are entitled to. Even if in her state she’d have to pay a small fee, it’s still way cheaper than buying all her diabetic supplies.
I have to wonder… where is her boyfriend while she’s going into diabetic shock?
I don’t know what he is doing, I don’t think they are going out anymore. The other day they talked in public on social media and he was like, “I don’t have a soft heart, because then I can’t get hurt, so that’s why I don’t really care if I’m cruel.”
We did try to get her signed up last year for it in her state. That state does not allow any care for single people who are not wards of the state. The ACA does cover her and she can pay for that with a little help, but the deductible is so much, it’s not worth paying for the insurance just to get insulin.
The state I am in does offer insurance to singles at her income level (She can transfer locations pretty easy), so I’m working on a plan see if she wants to come out here. I know she had a really hard week last week, I wrote her last night, but she hasn’t written back. I’m concerned for her.
Pray for her health and pray that she really starts opening up. She told me she doesn’t want to talk about her struggles, because nothing can be done. Well, I’ve been working on a plan to do something about it. It’s not marriage (at least not until we work through the issues), but it’s rather a real plan that will benefit her in the long run, transferring jobs locations, renting a furnished basement, finishing the last couple of classes for her AA as she gets in-state residency so she can then go get her BS here at a reasonable price.
Pray she softens her heart, she told me she feels like God is trying to get rid of her.
I am sending her a letter telling her if that was the case, I wouldn’t be trying to help…Rather, maybe God is calling her and showing her those who love Him are the ones trying to help.
Thanks again for your continued prayer.
You might want to double-check the Obamacare thing; I think that everyone who is not covered has to pay a hefty fee, so it could still be cheaper for her to be insured.
It is wonderful that you are investing so much time and effort in trying to help Minnie!! This is a situation where the enemy would love to start exerting influence, though, so I’d just suggest keeping 2 thoughts in mind:
1) No matter how much you do for her, or how little she can do for herself, she is not a child, and should not be expected to obey you, or to agree to all aspects of your plan. You must respect her right to make her own choices, however foolish.
2) You’re not gaining the right to get or expect anything from her; you’re helping a person in need to honor God, not to “buy” a relationship.
I’ll keep praying!!
Well, update:
They are going back out, I just asked her to Colorado and she told me she fixed it with him.
I didn’t throw it in her face, but she did send a message that she’s accepted that she’s going to have a hard live. I couldn’t promise a perfect life, but I wouldn’t let her be homeless like that guy is.
I can’t save her I know that, but I definitely thought through prayer and perseverance, they’d stay apart and we could repair the relationship. I really thought this last week we were making a lot of progress, she offered to help me proof read a report I had to present and wished me luck the day I had to give the report.
I’m sorry that she’s not making decisions that would seem to give her better options!! Some people just have to learn the hard way.
Remember, God doesn’t respond to prayers to cause people pain; don’t pray for them to break up or stay apart. Pray for God to steer her to the best possible life whether it includes you or not; that’s the purest form of love.
Needless to say the news hit me like a kick to the gut when I am down.
God doesn’t respond to prayers to cause people pain, but he doesn’t respond to prayers knowing it will cause pain. I definitely see an irony there.
He won’t marry her, but she said she’s going to stay with him and not quit. I guess that is my answer. She said she regretted that for 2 years my military service precluded me from visiting, because she said she really wanted us to work until she realized it wasn’t changing. Every time I went to see her, the hand of God stepped in a kept me from going, the President called us to a mission with less than a week time, a SGM refused to sign my OCONUS leave, I got placed on a mission that I was specifically not to go on, I was injured and unable to travel, my surgery date was changed in the most capricious way from June 23rd to May 15th, when I had promised her that my unit told me I could go visit her the 19th.
I’m really hurt…
Timothy, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through!!
When your pain recedes a little, you’ll see that God can’t remove Minnie’s free will to give her to you when she wants to be with someone else.
It seems like God has blocked you from being with her many times; I know it’s hard, but accept His wisdom and move forward in faith that He has something better waiting in the wings. Hang in there, it WILL happen!!
If He can’t soften her heart, then He can’t soften mine.
I understand that you’re angry and hurt, Timothy, and I’m sorry for that. God will continue to love you every moment for the rest of your life no matter what you do.
I’m really hurt at how cruel He is….I see miracles in other people’s lives and I can’t ever seem to get a small one.
I noticed you didn’t approve or respond to my other post.
God is never cruel, Timothy. If He had taken away Minnie’s free will and forced her to leave the man she wants to be with to be with a man she does not want to be with, THAT would have been cruel.
Since you have been on military missions and are still alive, I’m guessing that you have received even more and bigger blessings than the average person. Remember, if you don’t thank God for what He has already given you, you block the flow of new blessings.
There’s no place on my blog for attacks on God, and I don’t have the hours I’d need to rebut a lengthy comment-sorry.
I’m puzzled at the mindset of knowing that God exists and is all-powerful, believing Him to be cruel, but choosing to be adversarial towards Him; that would seem to guarantee a bad outcome for you. Luckily, no one need ever fear such a thing. I hope you’ll be able to regain your faith one day soon!!
The one blessing I wanted….
Anyways, the strange thing is that she wrong me in the middle of the night 2 nights ago. She told me she’d had a bad day and was drinking heavily. It’s as if she knows she’s making bad decisions, especially considering what drinking does with insulin.
I kinda feel like Jonah, he wasn’t thrilled at God either, but acknowledges his existence.
I hate to see how one person prays a seemingly selfish prayer and it is answered, and another prays and earnest prayer and gets rejected. It seems sometimes God is….for a nicer term…random in his answers.
Minnie is enjoying having your time and attention with no requirement to do anything for you in return. I understand the desire to hold on to whatever piece of her you can, but in the long run a woman is unlikely to upgrade a man from the one she complains to to boyfriend; you’re better off being less available to her.
You understand what the definition of selfish is, right? It means that, in a situation where multiple people are involved, you’re thinking only of your own wants, and not of theirs. That is exactly what you’re doing with your prayers to break Minnie and her boyfriend up; you’re not thinking of the boyfriend who that would harm, you’re not thinking of Minnie who would be harmed, you’re only thinking of your own wants. There is nothing remotely random about what God is doing here; you are praying to harm 2 people so that you can gain possession of a woman who doesn’t want you right now… God is doing the only virtuous thing and refusing to grant that prayer.
If the only thing you want is a woman who doesn’t want you, you’re doomed to constant disappointment and unhappiness. More to the point, you’re living a pretty worthless life if your only goal, your only possible joy, is another man’s woman. Don’t put your life on hold waiting for Minnie to run out of all other options in the hopes that maybe then she will want you; LIVE your life. Go new places, do new things, learn new things, meet new people. Study your Bible. Go to church. Do volunteer work.
If you were to die today, what would you want your tombstone to say? “Minnie didn’t want him, so he died”? Is that REALLY what you want your life to be about, whether one woman out of MILLIONS, a woman who doesn’t even live in your city, wants you or not?
Please pray for my helpmate to find and know me. I am believing God to send him if not already to me. That’s a desire of my heart Dispatch my angels to locate him and my blessings

Please pray for my husband and I. He left me back of end of May. I have been praying and believing God will soften his heart, convict him of his ways, and put a desire and will back into his heart to fight for his marriage. We have been together for 9 years, and never really even faught. He had never as much as raised his voice at me until the last Thurs of the month, back in March. I have been completely blindsided by all of this! He says he just isn’t happy anymore, and while he loves me and always will, he isn’t in love with me. Those words felt like a dagger in my heart. Please pray for total restoration of our love, passion, trust, laughter together, security, and intimacy. There is nothing too big God can’t do! I claim victory in my marriage in Jesus name!!
I’m praying for total restoration, Ashley!!
Please pray for me that I will gain strength in the Lord. There are so many changes and challenges and heartache in my life that I just feel like giving it all up. I don’t have any fight in me left.
Praying!!
Hello FH
I hope you’ve been keeping well 🙂
Just a question on something that I need you to help me understand.
As you know I have been praying to God for a miracle breakthrough in my life following almost 4 years in the “wildeness” and I must admit that I’ve been seeing the hand of God in my life and things are really looking up. The new man and I are on the 4th month and things are going really well and all Glory be to God. As you know I have also been praying for a breakthrough in my career and I believing God for it to happen soon.
Today, I decided to go on a fast and all went well as I spent the day in prayer and later attended the miracle encounter service at my local church. When the pastor asked that all those who are seeking a miracle should come to the front I also went, as he and his wife were praying over me I suddenly felt this surge of force coming over me and my whole body started to fill heavy and I fell to the ground. I was on the floor for about two minutes and continued to pray. Then I eventually got up and went to my seat.
Then went the pastor went to pray for the lady who was next to me he prayed for her AND then prophesized to her and gave her a message from God. NOW I am feeling a little down and disappointed that he didn’t prophesize to me as I desperately needed a Word from God. How do I deal with this?
Thank you and God Bless
Hi Faith!! I’ve been doing well, thank you!! 🙂
I had 4 years in the wilderness too, and God continues to amaze me with how He’s expanding and improving my life; I’m glad that you’re starting to experience this as well. I stand with you in believing for a career breakthrough!!
You went to the miracle encounter service expecting a miracle, and you got one!! In my church, we call what happened to you being knocked out or wrecked by the Holy Spirit; that’s a very powerful and extraordinary experience, one that I have witnessed but never personally had by the way, and I bet that 99% of the people who were there are now jealous that YOU got that gift but not THEM… and they didn’t get a prophecy or word from God either. The lady who DID get the prophecy might be wondering why she didn’t get knocked out by the Holy Spirit the way you did; “Since God had a word for me, why didn’t he fill ME with the Holy Spirit, too? How come only Faith got that blessing?”
God asks incredibly little of us, especially in comparison to the enormous gifts that He provides, but one thing He DOES want to see from us is gratitude… and that means, when we get a gift, we don’t get upset because we didn’t get what somebody else got.
Our relationship with God is NOT a competition. He gives us all different blessings; He gives us whatever is right and best for us at any given time. You need to be shouting praise and gratitude for the blessings that you receive, not feeling deprived for the blessings that you did not receive. It can be wonderful to receive prophecy, or a word, but sometimes you can get those things and they don’t help, or you don’t know what they mean; I have gotten both kinds myself.
How do you deal with not getting a blessing that you wanted? Like a true woman of God, of course. Tell God that you know that He will get you whatever information you need at the exact right moment for you to get it… and MEAN it. Thank Him for all the blessings that you HAVE been given; believe me when I say, there are countless women who would be happy to NEVER get a prophecy or word their entire lives if they could just have a decent man, which you already have. More to the point: The Creator of the universe filled you with so much of His spirit that it knocked you over; can you imagine how many people, MILLIONS of people, who feel distant from God, who feel that God would not love them or have anything to do with them, or are not certain that God exists, would give absolutely ANYTHING to have that happen to them? God has demonstrated to you that He is 100% with you!! He has shown you that you have absolutely nothing to worry about, because He is RIGHT THERE!! Would you REALLY have rather had anything else rather than that?
Dear FH
Thank you for the time you have taken to read my request and respond to so profoundly! I smile and give God the Glory for your amazing wisdom… God is LOVE!
Thank you my Sis and God Bless!
Once I felt all the love and respect from people around me. Those days kept me going for years and years. Working hard everyday because I felt so strong and gaining appreciation from everyone. I knew God is my provider of strength, love and holy Spirit. I love believed in God. Until everything g started to fall apart almost lost everything. People started to critized me and started to think I’m just hallucinating or maybe using some sort of a strong drugs. Even though I explained myself to the best I can about all the trials in life I’ve been through no one seem to listen. My request is not for me. Instead it’s for everyone who tried to pulled me down
evermore when I was all alone crying and begging people to help me listen to what I’m telling them. My pain is finally over because I know God helped me again to stand up on my own feet. I started to see a better days ahead of me than being stocked doing the same routine everyday for the last 13 years of my life working hard for a company that never appreciate people. Blessed them all and may the God guide them in the right direction.
Wonderful prayer request!! Praying!!

This is a prayer request. I just lost my job over something very, very small. This was a job that i Thanked GOD 4 getting on a Regular basis & it was nothing but GOD that i even got that job. However, now i got fired & am a single parent w/ no help financially. Ive been filling out Applications w/ Attached Resumes & have been sending off Resumes. Please be in Prayer w/ me that the RIGHT Job will come through 4 me SOON. Even though i got fired, due 2 the date i got fired on, i still will receive 1 more check & then 1/2 of another check but that is ALL. Ive been Praying 2 GOD as i Always have & i know despite getting fired, i KNOW he has something Better in store 4 me. Everyone @ work, even the Nurses (because it was in the Medical field), were so shocked 2 hear of why i had gotten fired, that even 1 of the head Nurses said 4 me 2 use her as 1 of my Main References when filling out Applications. I wasnt going 2 say what happened cause im kinda a private person, but this is what happened. Im a CNA & i was working 3rd shift @ this Assisted Living Facility & i had JUST finished my last round on checking on ALL the residents. EVERYONE had been checked Literally & it was 10 mins b 4 it was time 2 clock out. I was sitting @ this table that EVERYONE has & sits @ 8n there section of the facility & for JUST 2 mins i put my head down on the table & closed my eyes, but i WAS NOT Asleep!! Ive NEVER Done that before EVER but 4 sum reason did that morning & the boss came thru & fired me. Everyone agreed (even the Nurses), that the Boss should have or could have just easily written me up, or put me on suspension for 3 days or more, but she didnt. Ireally hate that i got fired b/c i really cared 4 the residents there & ALWAYS took the initiative when i cared 4 the residents. I always made sure there towels & shoes & restrooms looked Nice. Always smiled & Always made sure there rooms looked nice & that they were safe & comfortable in there beds @ night. So 4 this 2 happen, really hurt & has really put me in a bind financially. All i ask, is 4 Prayer. That i will find Another job SOON & that the money per hr & the Benefits, will be @least somewhat Close 2 had i was making @ that job. I knew this job was not my Main Purpose/Destiny but i respected the fact that it was APART of my journey in life, Orchestrated by GOD, 2 get me 2 my Main Purpose & the Calling he has placed on my life. Im really trying HARD not 2 fear or worry.
God will come through for you!! Praying!!

Lately Ive been stressed about paying off this semesters financial aid for the University I am attending. Ive tried filling out loans but with having little to no credit up, Ive asked my financail aid advisor for help who only sent me off with “apply for loans” because they don’t have anymore money. But theres $35,000 kids that go here, so it was kind of skeptical that they wouldn’t have anything. Ive asked my dad to take out a Parent Plus Loan. He was denied because of having bad credit. I asked my aunt who I’m closest to, to be a cosigner & for some reason she was denied as well. The thing is I have until December 15th to pay off the money & if not, the university will cancel my classes for next semester & I have nowhere to go from there 😦
Ive really been getting discouraged with Christ because I don’t know where or how Im going to come up with the money in 14 days. Im a first semester college student & as of right now my walk/trust in God is taking a downhill path. I know I should be encouraged but its soo hard not to be with stressing out so much like this.
Jojo, take a deep breath; the enemy wants you to be so upset and confused that you give up hope and turn away from God, but what you need to do right now is trust that God is right on top of this situation. Nothing that has happened is a surprise to God, and nothing that has happened cancels out His plan for your destiny.
The thing that you need to realize is that you are NEVER in a situation where you have nowhere to go from there. Worst case scenario, you take a semester off and work to earn the money you need. You might have to work during school from now on. You might only be able to go to school part-time. You might have to keep taking semesters off to earn additional money. I know that sounds terrible, but countless people have done all of these things in order to get through school; there are many important lessons and life experiences that you can have if you do school this way that you would not have otherwise.
You might not have to do all that; God might have the money coming to you from an unexpected source. The important thing is, whatever situation you end up in, work hard at whatever God has for you to do, keep a good attitude, and do whatever you can to help other people and better yourself.
You are going to be totally ok. One way or the other, you are going to get through school, and accomplish many amazing things with your life. Stay close to God; He has your back!!

Hi, I asked you wll to pray for me back in June when I lost my place to live. Am definitely being oppressed. Still homeless, working, needing a Christmas miracle. A man I was going to marry told me he doesn’t love me.
I’m sorry to hear about what you’ve been going through!! You are clearly in the desert, a long period of extreme loss and deprivation; I went through a 4-year period like that myself. I know it’s hard, but you have to understand that this is a test; if you stay in faith no matter what happens to you, you will reach your promised land, and that radical faith will be repaid with radical blessings, the same way it was for me. Just hang on a little bit longer!! I’ll be praying for you!!
Please pray that I may get a job soon,have been laid off and the anxiety, despair and despondency is taking me further down into depression. I trust in the Lord that he has something planned for me
Praying!!
Lord bring the open door for employment we all have to provide for our family,thank-you lord for providing the income,job for this dear one in Jesus name,thank-you lord.

Praying!!
Please will you explain to me how do you hear the voice of god an how do you know it is him ,how do you know what he his saying ,you said we have human will an god would not stop that ,but animals are like mute people they all cry an only god hears them ,but why would he let any of they suffer through bad people ,but they are gods creation too,an they want his love an protection to ,so does that not count enough for him to intervene for them?
Meme, God talks to us all the time; you can learn to pay closer attention to the feelings you have, the ideas that come into your head, and the things around you that could be signs, so that when God speaks to you with these things you’ll hear Him.
You won’t be sure that it’s Him at first; you have to keep track of how things turn out so that you can begin to determine the difference between thoughts and feelings from your own brain and the ones that God puts there, and the difference between coincidences around you and things that are signs. If it didn’t work out, then it wasn’t from God.
Sometimes it will be obvious what He’s saying, because it will be in words that you will understand, or a clearly good or bad feeling about an action or decision. Sometimes you’ll get a dream or waking image that you’ll have to think about; you’ll usually get a feeling of certainty when you have it figured out correctly.
If God prevented bad people from doing harm, whether to animals or any other kind, that would be taking away their free will. Even more importantly, if there was some category of actions that should be physically possible but are somehow undoable, such as if it were not possible to harm animals, then it would be obvious that God was controlling everything, which would take away everyone’s free will, and also take away faith and the need for faith, because it would be clear and obvious PROOF of God’s existence.
With very few exceptions, animals are not even self-aware, and we have no evidence to show that any animals other than human beings are aware of God. As a result, animals don’t want anything from God, because they’re not aware that He exists.
Every creature capable of any thought at all does want to have good things and to not have bad things. God loves every creature, but if He gave every creature what it wants, then again, there would be no free will, there would be clear proof of God’s existence, and therefore no faith or need for faith. In addition, any animal, including humans, that gets everything it wants becomes spoiled; not a fate we should wish on anyone or anything.
I’m a great animal lover, and it hurts me to think of any animal suffering, even when predators eat deer and bunnies and other such creatures as it is totally natural and necessary for them to do. We have to remember, though, that Jesus is the savior for human beings, not for animals, and that God focuses on us, not on the lower creatures. God intervenes on our behalf because we pray to Him, and because of our spiritual connection to Him; animals can’t pray, and they do not have any connection to God’s Spirit. We were made in God’s image; animals were not.
I think that it counts as very virtuous to love animals, take care of them, protect them, and to try to make other people treat them better. God wants us to be loving and kind, and good stewards of what He’s given us. When it comes to rescuing any creature from suffering, though, He’s focusing on helping people, not on animals. We are the ones that Jesus died in agony on the cross for.
God always listen to our prayers, though, so by all means keep on praying for the animals; you’ll never know how much animal suffering you’re preventing, but I bet it will be a decent amount.
Thank-you!
Please pray for god to act in a mighty way in all situations an a sign to show his power,my prayers are also with you,god bless!
Thank you!! Praying!!
I am a single mother of two daughters who have lost their father. The constant struggle of trying to take care of them not only physically but also emotionally has been overwhelming. I recently got laid off and in the interim chose to rededicate my life and totally trust God. I admit I waiver in my faith due to prayers seemingly unanswered. I don’t want to continue vacillating. Please pray for stability of mind, direction regarding work and the finances to take care of my daughters college expenses.
I pray that spoken prophesies will come to fruition and for complete restoration in the lives of your family and friends in Jesus name. Amen

Im praying for a better second semester of college this year. My finances have been rough on the edges and I need more money to pay for college. Ive been looking for scholarships, sometimes i do for hours & sometimes the criteria just doesn’t match for me to apply at times. Its been so frustrating & how do i pray to God about finances because I don’t want to dwell on the idea of money and make it something i put on a pedestal & worship it, if that makes sense?
Don’t worry, Jojo, there’s a world of difference between wanting money for necessary expenses and turning money into an idol… and you can be sure that God has no confusion whatsoever in this area. It is always 100% acceptable to pray for money to pay your bills, finance your education, pay off your debts, travel to visit loved ones, and live in safety and comfort. It’s also ok to pray to have nice things, and even fancy or expensive things… WITHIN REASON. Remember, God WANTS us to have prosperity:
Psalm 35:27 (NASB)
27 … let them say continually, “The Lord be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.”
When God gives you some money, He will be watching to see how you use it. Don’t waste it. Pay all your bills and obligations, including your 10% tithe to your church, before you buy anything frivolous. Put some money away for a rainy day, and don’t forget to give some to the poor, even if that just means handing $10 to a homeless person. And yes, you can have some nice new things, but before you brag about those things to others, be sure that you first brag about how awesome your God is.
Go ahead and pray for whatever you need. Remember:
James 4:2 (DRA)
2… you have not, because you ask not
Please pray god will intervene for all animals god prove your word for them all an silent prayer in Jesus name.
I’m standing in agreeance with you all and your prayer requests.
I’ve recently discovered that part of my purpose is to be a direct reflection of everything that God embodies (love, joy, peace, mercy, forgiveness etc.). Persuing this journey of being a person of moral virtue does get become difficult, because there’s temptation and free will to make the wrong decision or the right decision. By making the right decision, I do it in an effort to make God proud.
There are people in my life that depend on me a great deal and one person in particular. While it makes me feel great that I am being of service to others and they tell me how much they appreciate it, I’m often left feeling empty and hollow and alone, even the compliments don’t seem to register for me. I begin to feel like a machine instead of a human with flesh and bone. I rely on God a great deal to stregthen me, but it can be so hard to keep my head held high when my spirit feels so weak. I’m still trusting in God in all that doesn’t seem clear now. I just want to know that he’s near and he hears me when I talk to him.
Please ask God to continue to guide me in the right direction. To steer me in the direction of love. To guide toward the light in this dark tunnel. Lonliness sucks.
AC, God wants us to give to and care for people, but He does NOT want us to do so while never being fed emotionally in return. You need people in your life who will give to you as well as take from you, and I don’t mean once a decade, I mean on a steady and consistent basis. You need to invest some time and effort in looking for FRIENDS, and spend less time with people who are just endless recipients of your services. Going through life feeling empty, lonely, or like a machine is NOT God’s best or will for your life. I’ll be praying for you!!
Thank you for all you do.
You’re welcome!! 🙂
Ac god wants you to be a archor for others but you matter to even Jesus cried an felt alone take time for you too,because to much for others leaves you internally needing to god bless you,may your needs be meet an your dreams come true in Jesus name.
Thank you so much, Meme. May God add a blessing to your life, as well, for your kind words.
Please pray that God would send me an anointed, Delivered Godly Husband to do work for the Kingdom and For Gods Glory. Believing this year will be the year!
Thanks and God bless

Is it possible for god to always put stoppers in your path ,? My husband an I have been married for 23years an have always tried to do right an yes failed not perfect,we have endured people for 10+years because they were not caring for their livestock an we knew those animals deserved a wonderful life,an now they have gone to a better life because they were sold ,we now work a degrading job that yes humbles us ,puts food on the table an yes allows us to be greatful,but no matter what we try to do to have a little bit better life I feel god does not want us to move forward ever,we have struggled for 23years why no break we do not expect to be rich,just to live in a better home that does not cause us to feel sick ,living in ,something about it makes you feel I’ll.
Meme, God NEVER puts stoppers in your path. There is NEVER a circumstance where God does not want you to move forward. If you believe that sort of thing, that demonstrates a major lack of faith… And God does not respond to lack of faith with blessings. Faith means being CERTAIN, no matter what the circumstances are, that God has wonderful blessings in store for you. If you want to have radical blessings, then you need to have radical faith, faith that God will make seemingly impossible things work out to your benefit.
I’m living proof that it works that way; when every person that I loved, trusted, counted on, and saw as the basis of my social and emotional life, betrayed and abandoned me, I believed every moment, and said over and over, that God was going to make good on it somehow, even though there seemed to be no way for that to happen, even after YEARS went by… and eventually, through a series of miracles, He was able to use my being alone with no one left to turn to in my city to get me together with my church, leading to by far the most radical change, and best year, of my entire LIFE.
God is eager to bring a radical turnaround to YOUR life too, but He’s waiting for you to replace criticism and complaint with gratitude and praise, and for you to trust Him and show true faith. It’s not enough to give praise and thanks SOME of the time; you have to do it ALL the time, and not criticize or complain about Him and what He’s doing or not doing under any circumstances.
I understand your frustration, truly, and I’m not saying that this will be easy, but you can do it!! Once you enter the zone of total faith, you will see your life begin to turn around. Unprecedented favor is just around the corner!!
I need prayer regarding invisible things moving around my house the other one it stay in my fridge making unbearable sounds and my whole body itches all the time things are moving in my body, I married a man who resent me and ill treat me, and all my friends had turn against me, all my family past on I have no one and at work I’m still a contract worker for 11 years I leave in 1 room I’m struggling about everything, people hate me for no reason at all, I think someone put a curse on me. I prayed still praying and go to church but nothing is going right.
Praying!!

Please agree with me that my upcoming fertility treatment will be successful and that I will conceive the children that God promised my husband and I. Thanking God in advance for a head swimming anointing that what would have taken months/years will only take weeks. Thank you God for acceleration!
Praying in agreement!!
I would like to ask that you stand in agreement with me that will God will grant me my peace, happiness, and joy back. Please pray that God will bring restoration to my relationship. That God will continue to strengthen and restore our bond.
Despite all of the pain that I feel and all that may seem unclear right now, I want God to know that I still love and trust him. I refrain from asking God, “Why me?”, I may not understand what’s going on and I may even wake up weak in spirit some mornings, but God brings a peace like none other and you give us beauty for our ashes.
I stand in agreement with all of your hearts desires. You’re not alone and may God add a blessing to FH for this amazing platform for people to come together and lift one another up to our Father in heaven. He hears us.
Standing!!

I’m praying for you Peter. My Bishop often tells the story of how God delivered her from pornography. She would promise not to do it anymore, throw away her computer, and buy another one and donit all over again. Today she is completely free from that bondage! If God did it for her, he’ll do it for you too! If you mess up, run to God and tell him about it. He knows you completely and yet he still loves you. Be encouraged, deliverance will come!!
Thank you very much crystal.
I appreciate that .
Please pray for me. Pray for me to have patience. Please pray for me to accept God’s will. Please pray for me to have strength and pray for me to believe that God will fulfill my needs.
Praying!!
This past Sunday, I was overwhelmed with God’s presence and spirit. He has lifted my spirits and has granted me an unspeakable peace. I wake up every morning with a new hope and expectancy. I feel that I’m in a stage of recovery and restoration and I’m very grateful for your prayers.
With that being said, I want you all to know that you are in my prayers and I stand in agreement with you. God bless!
I would like you to pray for me and my friend Michael. We stopped talking for 3 weeks then God brought us back together on Friday We were both happy and Praising God together. Then by today he started acting distance and told Me after asking why he wasn’t talking That he got paid to work and he was focused on what he was doing. And I said and you think I am not?? Needless to say I feel like the enemy tore me and him apart and I told him thanks I know where we stand. I am hurt. What happened?? We made up he sat with me at church , prayed over me and waited for me. Was it God separating us or could this be the enemy??? I am hurt and now me and him are both back hurt and not talking. Please pray and give encouragement
Praying that God will sort this out!!
God did sort it out!!
Great!! What happened?
Please pray god will intervene for all animals,thank-you.

On 13 January 2016, I was shocked by a company turning away from me. I have put so much passion, love and devotion into my job. I am truly disappointed And feel I have been treated unfairly. I have tried to look at it from their point of view and still feel it’s unfair. I have put my life in God’s hands and pray that he fills me with energy and shows me the path to get a job and move on. A month is approaching soon and I really pray for a job soon. Please hold me up in prayer.
Praying!!
Some one who was really close to me had hurt me in a real bad way.. I am not able to come out of the pain I received.. I had been with that person in all his lows and now I find myself no where in his life.. I want Almighty to take away my pain, help me to forgive that person but at the same time I also would like that person to realize how much he was wrong about me
Praying!!
I have never been able to depend on anyone in my life ,from age 5 until now people have hurt me an let me down I have probably let them down to,I want to have a normal life I have very simply life desires a good home ,job to provide a life filled with meaning ,I lost my joy when my mother ,died 5 years ago ,an I thought god would heal her,in my minds eye he let me down too,,it seems like people see me has a door mat I try to be kind ,respectful,an they all show disrespect ,an walk,all over you.do some of us have a way about us that they see as a scape goat to treat wrong?my faith is gone an I have tried to make it come back ,I always feel god is unhappy with me.what do I do? I am not out sinning ,growing up I was made to feel I was not good enough an it lasted all my life.
I can relate to much of what you said, including having a mother who died 5 years ago.
Ask God to increase your faith, and He will. Pray for that every day, and you will see results.
People generally treat you with as much respect as you require them to. You’ll get the best results if you’ll start standing up for yourself. If you don’t feel able to do that right now, you need to walk away from as many of the disrespectful people as you can, and then find new people to be in your life.
It would really help you to find the right church. If you are currently in a church, based on what you said, they are not providing you with what you need. You would probably do better with a small church that is a tight community, like I have; every church event becomes an emotional boost when they are all your friends.
When you think poorly about yourself, that’s the way other people tend to view you. A counselor, Christian or otherwise, can help you see yourself in a new and healthier way. Remember, God thinks you’re amazing!!

My faith has been shaken. I’m wondering if there’s predestination and God has not chosen me despite the fact that I have been seeking Him, praying to Him and trying to follow His commands. I don’t understand why the bible promises don’t come true for me despite not only my prayers but so many prayers of others on my behalf. Isn’t He supposed to protect us or give us victory over the actions of evil non-believers? I had a family member steal my inheritance and laugh about getting away with it. She is a conniving attorney who had political connections and was able to fix the case when I tried to take her to court. She triumphed over me despite the fact that the law and morality was on my side and many were praying. What about the verse that says “let not my enemies triumph over me”? Of course, she thinks people who believe are fools. My family and I need the money yet she gets away with it. More importantly, God let her and abandoned me. I feel I am not important to Him or He would’ve intervened.
I’m sorry to hear what you’ve gone through!! God has not abandoned you, though; He never abandons ANYONE. All of us are extremely important to Him, but that doesn’t mean that He intervenes in all aspects of our lives to give us everything we want; He gave us all free will, and for the most part He lets us use that free will and live our lives the way we want to.… the bad people as well as the good. He listens to all our prayers, and prayer makes Him MORE likely to intervene, but as I’m sure you know, people have terrible things happen to them, up to and including losing their lives, every single day, even though they prayed and were prayed for; prayer is not a magic spell that creates a desired result. If everyone who prayed or got prayed for got what they wanted, we would’ve noticed that by now, right? That would make it obvious that God was there, running everything, which would mean that we had no more free will, and that faith was no longer necessary.
If God were to intervene all the times we ask Him to, we would be nothing more than puppets being totally controlled by Him; that is the exact opposite of what we would wish, and the exact opposite of what He wants for our lives.
Nothing in the Bible promises that no one will ever steal from you, or that if you pray, and/or others pray for you, that you will always be victorious and nothing bad will ever happen to you. On the contrary, the Bible makes clear that bad things will happen to EVERYONE. The verse that says, “let not my enemies triumph over me” is a request TO God, not a promise FROM God.
There are no Bible promises that have failed to come true for you… and more to the point, those promises only apply to people of faith. The tragedies in our lives are tests of our faith; only when you have gone through tragedy and emerged still praising and thanking God, and declaring with absolute certainty that He loves you and is going to restore back to you double, or better, can you call yourself a person of faith. If instead you emerge from a devastating experience convinced that God has abandoned you and does not care about you, you have failed the test of faith… and God does not reward that with blessings.
The good news is, God NEVER gives up on us; He’ll always give you another chance. One prayer that He always answers is if we pray that our faith will increase; start praying that, and work your way up to total faith. When you have reached that level, take your case to a higher court, and FIGHT for your inheritance… don’t just accept that your family member defeated you in one court and then give up. There are still no guarantees, but once you have become a person of true faith, you’ll be amazed at how God will come through for you.
I have been praying for Him to increase my faith. In fact, I have been praying about that for years. Please pray for me for more faith and also that my family member who did this is brought to justice swiftly.
If you have been praying for more faith for years and still don’t have it, you need to rethink your prayer life. Are you praying every day for more faith, or once a month? Are you praying one line, or are you praying for an hour? Not having total faith is responsible for some of your problems, so you can really improve your life by making a serious effort to increase your faith. I’d recommend setting aside some area of your home as your prayer closet, even if all you can do is put a chair or a cushion in front of an empty corner, and going in there every single day to focus intensely on prayer; that can give you amazing results.
In the meantime, I will certainly pray for you!!
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!! 🙂

Please pray god brings justice, my sister-in-law an her family have tried to cause trouble for us an other family members for23years it has gotten old vengeance is the lords I am tired of them raising havoc for us an others an I know they have corrupt things they do they think no one knows ,want them to feel the heat of their own doing let their wrongs be brought to light ,please pray god bring justice an they get what they deserve ,.
Meme, I understand how you feel, but you need to never pray for anybody to suffer anything in any way; not only does God not respond to prayers of that nature, but praying them will block you from receiving blessings.
When someone harms you, no matter how big the harm, no matter how many times they’ve done it, no matter how many different kinds of harm they have done, the only acceptable thing for you to do as a Christian is to forgive them, and ask God to bless them, and bring them closer to Him and make them better, happier people, who no longer do harm to others.
Of course it’s ok to ask God to compensate you for what you have suffered, as long as you do not ask Him to do so by harming the wrongdoer.
Remember, God expects us to be better than sinners:
Luke 6:32-35 (NIV)
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
I am sorry if my request sounded vengeful ,23years of this woman has been almost unbearable my husband only has his mother left an my natural parents are both dead, it is hard to skirt around his sister an her family just to see his mom,we are all far from perfect ,but this woman is so petty she makes a big issue if one of his brothers kids does something wrong ,but so does her kids ,we have forgave over an over ,an should not have to live always defending our reputation from her an hers god has seen everything just like a t .v screen all these years,an nothing has changed.we are just trying to live right an have raised our kids to ,not perfect ,but not doing anything against the law or evil,to me in our world that’s almost perfect.
I understand that she’s a terrible person, and has been making you miserable for a long time… but you still can’t pray that anything bad will happen to her, EVER. God wants you to show Him that you can rise above and behave as a woman of God no matter what is happening. You can do it!!
Hi there. Thank you for your blog and the written words. It gives some hope though the enemy is fighting every ounce of whats left.
Please pray for peace.
For the majority of my life, I’ve lived with depression. As a child at the age of 8, I thought it was normal, self-inflicted. I felt unworthy, unloved, worthless, ugly, fat, etc. Fast forward, 15 years. This is something I’ve realized is fall. God knew I was suffering under the devil’s lies – I knew of God but had never felt his love until 2013, briefly.
Moving forward to this last winter. I’m a student in medical school, I worked hard, studied hard, for the dream God placed in my heart. Every part of my soul believed with an absolute conviction that I would pass my second semester – every prayer was answered in the physical form – tutors, replacement chargers, ability to understand the material, etc. I KNEW God wanted me to succeed, He saw my effort…and then I failed. I blamed God for 2 months while I spiraled into the worst phase of my depression. Eventually, I understood it wasn’t His fault at all. But that the devil had stolen, robbed me of my blessing. I remember studying diligently, getting extra help but being physically and mentally drained that last week before the final. I pushed through, praying, praising, worshiping God.
I don’t know what I’m asking for anymore. Restoration? Peace? Blessings? Joy? Success? Worth? How much more am I to suffer before God stops the hurdles? People who don’t believe in His existence, praise idols, are happy, successful in life, doing well. Here I am, spiraling more negatively. The minute I pull myself out, seeking God, I meet silence or the devil digs his claws back into my mind and whispers “You deserve this. You’re not good enough. You never will be. You’re a waste.”
God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Even if I couldn’t recognize my depression and worthless lifestyle for 15 years…He did. Why would He let me suffer, why would He ‘fail’ me? Why would He not show me what I was missing? I was a child, I didn’t know better – I thought life was supposed to be this miserable.
The Bible makes it clear that trials and suffering come to EVERYONE, no matter how much you believe or pray. Faith and prayer are vitally important, but they are NOT a shield against hard times and difficulties, and are not a substitute for having the skills that you need to be successful.
Medical school is hard for everyone; many people do not succeed, because they do not have a high enough level of abilities. If you fail, it’s not because of what God did or did not do, but because you do not possess the same level of abilities as the other students. There is no shame in this; just because you might not be able to become a doctor doesn’t mean that you cannot have a successful and spectacular life.
You are clearly going through a time of testing. This might last for several years, or even longer. When will it stop? When you have passed enough tests that God decides you are ready for it to stop. One certain thing is that your testing will NOT stop while you continue to complain; complaining prevents blessings from getting to you. Complainers are rarely happy or successful, either.
God hasn’t failed you; you have failed Him. You have failed to have faith in the face of adversity. When you stop complaining, stop imagining ways that God has wronged you, stop looking at other people’s lives and making yourself miserable by telling yourself over and over how much more they have than you, then and only then will God start moving you out of the desert and into the promised land.
I had been in a relationship with a boy for past three years and we intended to get married by our parents blessings. But in a country like India, it is difficult to marry the person you love owing to cultural differences. We had to part our ways because of these reasons. We all are children of God, and if two of them want to spend their lives together, God should help. I have been very sad since the time we parted our ways and I see no way for us getting back together. I have always been a firm believer of God and until now God has always listened to me. But currently I am at the weakest point of my faith. I read your blog posts, they encourage me a lot, I try to maintain a positive attitude, but this entire situation has made me so negative that even while I pray, I feel it wont be answered because I cried in front of God for one whole year, even then he didnt answer it. I want to stay positive, I pray daily…but somehow I remain sad. Please pray that by the grace of the almighty, we get back together to be married with our parents blessings.
I have another doubt, if every thing is predestined, then how does our negative or positive thinking affect the outcome? I am very afraid of this “Law of attraction ” thing. Even you mention it in your blog posts. I am worried that the way I have become negative these days, my negative thinking wont let positive outcome happen and this makes me even more worried. Please pray and please guide!
Why “should” God help people who want to be together? The vast majority of times that people want to be together, it would not work out; God doesn’t help you do things that will not work out. Even if your relationship COULD work out, it’s YOUR responsibility to make it happen, not God’s. If you encounter obstacles, you need to put forth the effort to get past them, not sit around complaining, expecting God to handle it for you.
Does God ever help people be together? Of course. But He is under no obligation to do so; He is not your servant, you are HIS servant.
Having a negative attitude, weak faith, crying for year, and feeling like you won’t be answered will absolutely create a situation where God will not answer your prayers. Fortunately, all of these things are under your control; you can CHOOSE to be positive, have strong faith, and feel certain that God WILL answer your prayers, and then far more blessings will come to you.
I assume that you remain sad because your situation remains the same. Is it actually ILLEGAL for you to marry the man you love, or is it just DIFFICULT? If it’s just difficult, then, if you really love each other, you can overcome those difficulties and get married. If it’s illegal, you can leave the country and get married in a country where it is not illegal. If you’re not going to do these things, if you’re not willing to make the maximum effort for your own relationship, you really can’t expect God jump in and do anything for you.
God knows in advance if and when your attitude or behavior will change, but that doesn’t mean that the change doesn’t mean anything; if you didn’t make those changes, there would be a different result, and He would know what that result was as well.
Your negativity can and does absolutely bring you negative outcomes. The good news is, the attitude that you have is up to you. If you change your attitude, and it is 100% within your power to change it at any time, you will start seeing different outcomes… and remember, God does not respond with blessings to a negative attitude, He responds to a positive attitude. I will certainly pray that God will help give you the courage and strength to make the changes you need to get the end results that you want.
Can you tell me how you know your answers will come to pass,I have had this heart felt desire for my childs future for 5 years now an when I am felling weak infaith this vision is brought to mind is god telling me hold on an sometimes if in prayer the very thing i pray my kids answer me with the very things I prayed they knew nothing about is this god talking to me?are you suppose to feel overwhelmed sometimes an is it true sometimes your inner peace is upset ,god is bring answers?
I ended up writing such a long and detailed reply that I have turned it into a post; you can find the answer to your questions here:

I thank you for sharing your blog. It’s so inspiring. I’ve had this desire/dream to help others learn how to take better care of themselves by starting a fitness business. This started 5 yrs ago. I am asking for prayer for God to show me whether that road is part of His plan for me. I love working with people in regards to health and fitness. I just would like to know if I am going the right way. Thank you so much!

Okay here we go. Over five years ago i was in a relationship that ended i never knew why. But 8days before the relationship ended (i dream that the guy would leave and i would follow him but he would not look back and after a while he came back and we reconcile.) I’m a believer in God when that happen i wasn’t human but i prayed alot asking God to help me understand Wat Was happening. Its like the guy became allergic to me everytime he hears my name he disappear. He abandon everyone who try to mention my name to him including his whole family. But through out the years i never go a month without dreaming of him us getting reconcile again that all i dream of. I struggle alot i sometimes hate my heart for not letting go of him. I pray for God to free my heart from him i cry to God i scream to God asking for help unfortunately nothing yet. I no longer Want this guy n even if we did we Can’t. We both married to other people and have kids. The problem is our mind n spirit are connected but our bother is somewhere else. One of my new year resolution for 2016 was for God to free my heart mind and spirit from him. And in December 2015 i dream me and him talking us being together. After almost six years he contacted me. I wasn’t socked or suprise but i wanted to know wat happen that ended the relationship he didn’t even say a word to me After being together gor six years. So i ask him Wat happen he talking about heb feel like he owns me his life and that that he was looking in my photos n saw love in my eyes crap like. He told me Wat happen he say he got up one day he didn’t care and its like something came over him n he became a monster. When i pray i understand God show me things n 70 to 80% of the times they became true even if i didn’t understand the dream then but I’m getting better with that. I became so confuse because i keep having these dreams that we gonna leave our spouse and we gonna b together. The more i pray ask for guidance and strength only one kind of dreams us together. Im confuse of Wat God is showing me because i now have hope that God didn’t give up on us and i struggle with this love its too much for me. I even told my husband i need help i want him out off my heart i want him gone from my memory. Sometimes i even pray to have memory loss so i can be ok. I don’t know i have faith God desires for me will come to pass because i don’t even know my own heart desires. I just ask God to fill me with his heart desires and guide n lead me to his path and give me signs. I know god doesn’t like divorce and adultery why is all he showing me is that we be together. I just did fourty day praying asking for guidance the first night i dream we together and today is the last day of the prayed i dream that he say he love me. Ahhhhhhhh please tell me what is this. And help please need desperate prayers. I need clarification n strength n patience. This is my prayed to God Lord if my husband is for me please clear my heart n mind n spirit from my past and if my past if for me please give me signs and make your plan come to pass in my life because i Cant and won’t live like This for the rest of my life Its torture and miserably.
There’s no reason to think that your mind and spirit are connected to this man; that’s just something we say to ourselves when we have an obsessive love for someone, as often happens when a person we really love abandons us.
There’s no reason to be confused about your dreams about this man; you’re dreaming about him because you’re obsessed with him. The dreams do not mean anything, and are not signs or messages from God.
God is not showing you anything; there is no confusion in this area either. God is NOT showing you how you should get together with this married man, devastating both of your families.
Your mind created this fantasy for you to help you get over the pain of being abandoned, but you have a life, a husband and children, and you no longer need the fantasy. You’re being disloyal to your husband, and disobedient to God, by indulging these fantasies about the other man.
The only way to start getting over this man is to STOP focusing your mind on him. Do not pray, much less scream, to God about him. Do not ask for signs about him. Do not fantasize about being together with him. Do not analyze any dreams you have about him. Every time he comes into your mind, get your Bible out and read out loud from it until your mind is clear.
I know that you want to argue about all of this; DON’T. You asked for clarification, and now you’ve got it. This verse came into my heart for you:
Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Pray every day for God to make you into a loyal wife; JUST that, with no mention of this other man. I will be praying for you.
Thank you for all u said. Believe me i though of all of these things. Even last night i said I’m failing God and my husband. I will do what u say I’m not gonna try I’m ginna do it with God by my side to help and clear my heart and mind. Thank you so much for i felt like somehow in my heart i was not being right infront of God and cheating on my husband in my mind. I believe that God already delete this person from my heart he will free my heart and give and bless me with a free pure heart. The dreams were distracting me now i will just put them behind me and ignore whenever i see him in my dream until i don’t see him anymore. Thank you so much. God bless and much love through Jesus Christ.
You’re welcome!! 🙂

Hi, I’ve been struggling with a huge issue in my life for about five years now. It’s completely broken me. I’ve been praying and asking God for a miracle of physical restoration and really just restoration of every area in my life. It’s truly impossible without Jesus doing it, it really would take a miracle. And I’ve been struggling with doubt that He’ll never do it or that His answer is no. But at the same time I’ll have these brief moments where I get the sense that He may and He’s going to completely blow me away by showing Himself strong in my life. I’m just very confused and tried of fighting. Thanks for the prayers.
Praying!!
Please pray for me that my siblings are kind and supportive of me when we go through the final accounting process regarding my parents’ estate. Please pray that they are ok with all of the expenses incurred and for the money that my mother spent on me while I had chronic fatigue. Thanks.
I’m praying that God will bring you through with flying colors!!
Thank you!
Dear FH, God bless you, this helps a lot. I am very grateful to you and to God that he listens to me. I would like to request a prayer for my relationship with a person I love very much and never want to lose. My boyfriend is leaving the country for another job and I pray to God that he protects our love and not let the distance do any harm to our relationship. I pray to God to give us enough strength to overcome any difficulties and work with both of us to be in the right situation together.
Praying!!
I often become discouraged and negative when things don’t go as I believe they should in both my professional and social life. Please pray with me that I will be able to focus on the good and trust that it’s GOD’S PLAN and not mine. I am a teacher and a bit OCD when it comes to planning and organization. I always assumed that I would be married and starting a family by this point in my life and the fact that I am not even dating often is very discouraging and leads me to feel that I am failing or lacking. I feel like many times I let the negative take over and it keeps me from seeing that everything God is doing/NOT doing in my life is all a part of his plan. I know that God is telling me to WAIT and good things will happen. My prayer is that I will have more patience and focus on the positive during this period of waiting, while God prepares me for everything in the future.
Praying!!
First off, I want everyone to know that you are in my prayers and I stand in agreement with you in God’s will bringing you the desires of your heart.
I’ve currently been at my current place of employment for 3 years and we are going through a change in management. I’m asking for prayer that God softens their hearts and all will go well during the interviewing process.
I’ve also been working toward restoring my relationship with my boyfriend, as well. I ask that you stand in prayer with me, that God will continue to unify and unite us.
Thank you so much.
Praying!!
Praying that God will not only reunite you with your boyfriend, but that your relationship will be stronger.
Thank you so much. I’m so thankful and I appreciate more than you know. May God bless you. 🙂
I’m 30 and still trusting God for a life partner. Pls stand in faith with me that I will meet him soon according to His perfect timing.
Praying!!
Recently, I discovered your site. So love reading your blogs. You are such a blessing to so many people. I pray that you will receive many blessings as well.
Thank you!!
Hi Former Heathen,
Here is an unique story of mine. God raised me from the dust and kept me on very high places. i have been in love with a girl for the past 8 yrs. we began our relation when we were colleagues. After 2yrs of our relation ,we have started together our own business along with a millionaire mentor of manufacturing Aircraft parts by quitting our jobs . My parents liked this girl and approved us to marry soon. But in times when we were going through tough times with our business , my parents started cursing this girl and forced me to leave her so that they shall arrange a marriage with a co-church goer family. they tortured with their words for several months and arranged a marriage which i did not like it. i cried,resisted but they blackmailed me that my parents would commit suicide if i don’t accept this marriage. Many of my well wisher and friends advised me to escape from the country to skip the wedding date . i have everything ,good money,best support from friends ,have a good business circle.But i could not do that because of my love of parents. i reached my home 6 hours before wedding time with lots of pain and cries . No one was there to understand me and to talk on my side. Finally i was married to a girl whom i didn’t even know. I used my old casual shirt and a jean trouser for my wedding, with an unstoppable tears/pain in my eyes. since then ,i have left my home and married girl very next day and not returned to till this day(almost 7 months). Not even talking to my family. i have tried to practice alcohol and other amusements which our jesus disapproves ,to forget the past,but could not stay.Tried to end my life many times but not. Then i turned back and took an oath with god that whatever happens to me, Jesus! i will not leave you. Cleanse me in your blood and take me to your city of joy as i don’t want to continue in this world. Since I’m unable to stay with the married and unwilling to leave my beloved.
Don’t know what solution should god give me. But for me ,i am happy to have my lost love back or enter in his eternity.
Here i may request for few clarifications
1. Does god approve this kind of marriages(forced)?
2. Either sides of parents exchanged money as a dowry. was that a holy marriage?
3. willful wedding or lawful wedding , which one is God’s choice?
Please pray fro me.
I’m sorry to hear about what you’ve been through, Prem!!
Unfortunately, God didn’t say how He might view different marital situations, either separately or in comparison to each other, so we don’t know what His opinion might be.
In Biblical times, nearly ALL marriages were forced, because they were arranged by parents and families with the people involved having no say in the matter. Under some situations, certain men were allowed to pick their wives, but the women involved would still not have had a choice. Clearly, this met with God’s approval, since He never said anything about changing it.
Also in Biblical times, the use of a dowry was standard:

Again, since God never said anything about changing this, it must’ve met with His approval.
I’ll be praying for you!!

I am blessed by this website concerning Elijah’s faith and persistence , in prayer I heard the Lord say abundance of rain. For I am in a season of drought but I give him glory to allow me to find this web. And it surely opened my understanding. And for you I can say that everything that was prophesied over your life for restoration does include the return of your family God is a complete God and their is an abundance of restoration and favor coming .
Thank you!!
Please stand in agreement with me for my prophetic ministry, healing finances restored, and that God will send me a husband who is already established in the prophetic healing and deliverance ministry , who loves God.
Standing!!
Thank you so very much for this post, I was truly blessed. May God continue to empower you in Jesus name Amen.
I’m having a very hard time with my ex boss – I’ve just been laid off. I believe God has something way better in the pipeline for me and I’m already working towards this.
My boss wants me to return my car – I had a car loan with the company. I’ve requested for some time and also be allowed to continue making the monthly payments but he is being very very difficult, calling and calling me names, I think mainly because one of my colleagues must have told him I’m talking to a lawyer – he’s convinced I’m taking him to court. Your prayers will be appreciated. I pray the Lord to calm this storm and cause peace to reign.
Praying!!
Please stand in agreement with me that God will heal my broken heart. My ex left me with 2 children after 12 years and is engaged to another woman. I’m broken , heart broken and trying to pick up pieces of my life. I blame myself and can’t seem to move on even though he has apparently done so. This all happened within 6 months and I’m distraught. Pray for me and my children that got ushers me through this situation so that I could be with who he intended me to be with. All this for the Glory of God!
Praying!!
FH,
Please also pray that I receive direction. I have no idea what to do, where to turn,what to think. I sit and watch him be happy and I hold 2 children in my hands with confusion and wonder when will God bless me? I know I’m not to look on the wicked but why did his heart turn and leave his family? What did I do that was so bad? Is it me? So confused!
Dee, my heart goes out to you. You have to do what everyone else does in your situation; get out of bed every day, put 1 foot in front of the other, care for your children, cook food, eat it, work, clean the house, etc. Eventually, the pain goes away, and new things come to fill the holes in your heart and your life. You’re certain now that that will not happen, but it always does.
You have no idea how happy your ex is, or is not, because you’re not watching him through a spycam in his private life. Rotten people like him, and any man who abandons his wife and children IS rotten, make no mistake about it, usually end up with the misery they deserve.
God already DID bless you; you have your health, your children, and a man who was totally unworthy of you has been removed from your life. God already has a fine Christian man picked out for you, who will come into your life once your emotions have recovered.
Your ex left because he’s a bad person. I know that you were once convinced otherwise, and you might STILL be convinced otherwise, but you can tell a tree from its fruit; only a bad person behaves the way he has behaved. Bad people do evil things; that’s their nature. When you have recovered somewhat, you’ll be able to look back and see countless warning signs that this was not a good man; for now, just trust me that those signs were there. Next time, you’ll know better.
You didn’t do anything wrong; evil people behave in evil ways because they are evil, not because of anything YOU did. As hard as it is to do, you need to STOP agonizing over this, STOP dwelling on it, and STOP trying to make some kind of sense out of it… there isn’t any sense to it, because for a person’s behavior to make sense, they have to be a good person, and your ex is a BAD person.
Focus on taking the best possible care of yourself and your children right now. Give your heart time to heal. God already has amazing plans for your life, and at just the right time, He will bring those plans to fruition. Stay strong, and stay in faith!!
I’ll be praying for you!!
FH,
The Lord heard your prayer and answered mine in so many ways than one. Yesterday all was revealed ! The enemy showed his tail and was looking to seek kill and destroy my dignity my faith my life and the lives of my children. Speaking with this man , he disclosed to me that he in fact got married to this woman a few weeks ago. He wasn’t remorseful for playing with my heart for 12 years , his “I’m sorry” seemed tangential, it also came with a lot of blaming on his part. To make a nightmare short, I learned that the enemy is real. I read your post on spiritual warfare and I never realized that the enemy was that alive and well. Brother, I left the Lord for this man. I lived in sin so that he was comfortable. When my heart said no more I can’t keep living like this because, the enemy was not letting me go without a fight. This morning when I woke up I praised the Lord for another day as well another day to get it right! I know this might be the beginning of his raft but brother stand in agreement with me that God cover me and my children as well as give me strength to do his will and live his will. Father God, give me a purpose. I now see that I trailed far beyond the plan that you have for my life. Father Gid let your will be done! I surrender all. Only you can fix this mess! I want to praise you Lord and give you all the glory!
Brother FH, my life depends on this!
Amen !
You see how FAITHFUL God is?!! You reached out to Him, and He has dropped the scales from your eyes, and now you can SEE. Your life is going to take off like a rocket now; everything is going to change for the better. You will never allow a worthless man into your life or your children’s lives ever again. Go out into the world, meet new people, go new places, learn and do new things; embrace the joy that God intends you to feel every single day because of His love and the amazing plans He has for you and your kids. The Creator of the entire universe is breathing in your direction; praise and worship Him all day long, and He will take you higher and higher, higher than you’ve ever imagined.
BTW, I’m a woman… and I absolutely do stand in agreement with you!!
I surrender everything to you Lord, let your will be done. From the failed relationship, the hurt and betrayal. I still do love him unconditionally but everything is in Your hands now. One touch, one breathe, everything can turn around. The glory is all Yours and Yours alone. Sorry if we failed You. You are a supernatural God and I trust You with everything. A second chance or a new beginning, I believe that “all is well” and this is not my ending. I love you God. Thank you for keeping me strong, for fighting the battles that I couldn’t fight, for showing Your love even I was at my worst. All glory is Yours!
Thank you ! Thank you sister ! God is truly Amazing! Sorry I called you brother ! Lol May God continue to bless you! You are truly blessed!
Good morning! You all are in my prayers. I stand very firm in agreement with each of you.
I made a decision to pick up my Bible back in October of 2015 in an effort to, not only fill a void, but to bridge a spiritual gap that I felt was missing in my life. I desired to grow closer to God and build my faith solely in him. I recently finished reading the Book and was so overwhelmed with so much humility and gratitude to have finished. I want to make sure that I continue building with God and it helps alot knowing that he’s always there.
What would you recommend after someone has finished reading the Bible? Is it just as simple as jumping back into the word?
The answer is probably very simple, but I’m only 24 and spirituality is very new for me, so I’m not always sure what to do or if I’m even looking for God the right way? I want God to be proud of me. Can you shed some insight or any advice. Thank you so much. 🙂
Congratulations on getting through the Bible so quickly, DC!! I would certainly recommend reading through it again, maybe in a different translation to help keep your mind engaged; BibleGateway.com has many to choose from. If there are any parts that you don’t understand, and for anyone who is not an expert there will ALWAYS be things that we don’t totally understand, look them up to see what they mean; doing a Google search for the confusing verses and the word “commentary” should get you plenty of information.
Putting a Bible app on your phone will allow you to read a little bit of scripture when you’re standing around waiting for things. That will add up fast.
I’d also recommend exploring the numerous podcasts and YouTube videos of sermons that are available, so that you can hear some discussion about God and the Bible every day.
Do you enjoy praise music? Listening to it throughout the day can help keep your mind focused on God, and can be very uplifting.
Have you joined a good Bible-based church? You can get a ton of benefits, social and emotional as well as spiritual, by finding a good church community.
Don’t worry about trying to find one right way to seek God; as long as you are honestly seeking him in some way, He will respond to it… and He’s already proud of you. You’re the apple of His eye, and you are bringing Him so much joy by turning to Him!!
The most important thing to do is pray. You don’t have to do anything fancy or formal or elaborate, just talk to Him like you’re talking to your best friend… because you ARE.
Wonder of wonders ……God has lead me to this page ….
Am in desperate need of prayer to remove all negative forces in the
Mighty name of Jesus …..have been taunted / harassed for some time now …..
Thank you for your ardent prayers asking Jesus to bizarrely bless me in HIS
Favour ……
May those requesting prayers feel the presence of Jesus so very close ……
With blessings ….

Please help me Lord to have much more faith and never doubt on Your goodness. Sorry if there are moments that I still miss my ex partner, but I try my very best to shake it off and think about Your good words and promises to move on without expectations from him, and move on with Your unconditional love for me. You know Lord that I still love him without any returns, and deep in my heart I still believe that You will change him to be a better person. Thank you God for making me stumble into this blog. May You bless us all in many ways, may You give all out hearts desire. My faith in You taught me to have faith in all people regardless of their mistakes, my love for You taught me that it is okay to still love people who hurt me, my hopes that You will bring me through a breakthrough taught me to hope that people are still good no matter how long they were lost. Thank you Lord for not giving up on me. All the glory is Yours.
Please help me to sow only seeds of kindness despite all the hurt. To never let any hurt harden my heart. For You Lord, I want to be a better person. Let honest love and true kindness shine always.

Good evening.
I’m hoping you can stand in agreement with me as I pray for a complete restoration. From finances to my relationships, as well as my spiritual walk. So many great things have been happening, but at times, things like anxiety and disappointment set in and try to take my mind away from all that I have to be appreciative and grateful for. As God continues to humble me, I ask that he strengthens my faith and my trust in him and that he allows his presence and his spirit to lift me up and encourage me when I need him.
Thank you so much. God bless!
Praying!!

After reading Trouble is transportation, I agree, sometimes it is for your good when people walk out of your life … such is the case with my spouse who has addiction and abuse issues. His family enables him and is very disrespectful. Now he is at his sister in laws, telling them personal and venomous matters that are none of their business and far from what is true. I had it out with my sister in law today for meddling in matters and taunting me with information he has told them. Im not sure what to pray all i know is he will never be accountable as long as his family continues to enable him, nor will he ever take responsibility for his behavior unless something drastic happens to him. Been at this mountain too long… expecting God shut the mouths of the enemy and bring their desires to naught … No weapon formed against me shall Prosper, and others should be careful of the meddling lest something come upon thier marriage and household. This is God’s not their business and they need to leave it as such. Thank you for your prayers.

I am writing this in regards to my ex girlfriend Angela recently breaking up with me after allowing a guy that is assisting her with repairing her home to influence this break up. The guy is flirting and influencing her that a long distance relationship with me is not what she should be doing. We were happy and she often told me she loved and cared about me each day prior to this. I really felt that God allowed us to meet on a cruise back in February that I almost didn’t go on. We had such a great spiritual connection immediately. She made contact with me through a friend that provided my information after arriving back home. We spoke regularly each day for months while having great conversations. We visited each other in our home states, also went on vacation. I felt a connection that I’ve not felt for anyone in years. I now feel so heart broken because we previously spoke about marriage regularly. Satan has now come in between us tempting her and making her push me away. How do I pray to God for my sole mate to be brought back to me with marriage?
I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but if this woman was really your soulmate, she wouldn’t be able to be tempted to toss you over for a stranger so easily. It doesn’t matter how powerful of a connection YOU feel, if the other person does not feel the same way, you are not soulmates… And if she felt the same way, if she was really happy and loved you so much, she wouldn’t break up with you because the repairman flirted with her.
There is no way for you to pray for a woman who does not want you to come back to you and marry you. She might get tired of whatever she’s doing now, and come back to you rather than having nothing… But if she does, you should have enough self-respect to turn her down. Take some time to get over her, and then find a steady and trustworthy woman of God who lives in your same city to be your new girlfriend.
I would like to request a prayer to restore my friendship/ relationship someone I considered to be one of my bestfriends. We had a really beautiful deep connection on both a spiritual and mental level and there were so many insane syncronicities some that were pure heaven sent between us and our lives that I know we were brought together by God. God has given me so many undeniable signs that he ultimately intends for us to be together. I believe that because of fears and insecurities I tried to rush things when we both knew we werent yet at a level mentally (as we are both dealing with some pretty heavy past emotional traumas at the moment. ) to have that kind of relationship with one another . I’ve even had dreams where I felt God whisper that now is not the time. I know in my heart that this time of seperation is being used by God to better prepare us for a healthy relationship with one another but still sometimes the fear and doubt creep in and I become very afraid and lose faith that we will never be brought back together and then my mind begins to try and find ways to take matters in to my own hands (which i really dont ever want to attempt to do) We are both single there was no lying or betrayal of any sort between us simply two hurt people trying to heal. The minute I met him I knew that what was about to transpire between us was very significant and I had just gotten out of a very long term emotionally abusive relationship. I am praying that God helps to heal and restore our friendship and for continued patience during this time. I am praying for his healing and my own healing and that we both open our hearts to that healing. I pray that he may forgive me if he in anyway feels I have caused him pain. I pray that we may be reunited please…
To add to my prayer… I just pray that when we are reunited we will both be able to let go of our deep seeded fears of not being lovable or deserving of good love. And he can let go of his fears of being hurt and of all of those who have really hurt him in the past and made him believe that love is pain. I pray that God allows us to both come back together and have the capability to love one another the way that we both deserve and without fear. If anyone can please pray with me on this it would really mean the whole world
Praying!!
I would like for you to pray for God to send me an anointed sweet Godly Kingdom helpmate that God chose for me. This marriage purpose will be for ministry

I would like God to help me with a financial blessing. I am recently divorced. My wife left me with my five children. I am struggling to pay my mortgage and bills. It seems like I am always at a disadvantage and I want God to turn it around.
Always in prayer.
Sorry to hear of your plight. I’m praying for you that things turn around and you are blessed more than you can imagine. And so it is.
I would like God’s to help turn my character from a man of scepticism towards him to a man of faith, godly patience, hope and love. To always be bold,courageous and wise in whatever path or situation God has placed me in and for the sufferings, trials and tribulations both present and future to always be and end for the good. Also to gain the ability to show mercy to my enemies and love them as the Bible instructs. That is missing in my life and the hate I have felt for my enemy has served as a bane to whatever work I try and set myself to do. I ask for God to remove that from me, the hate.
God took me out of a abusive relationship 5 years back. It was not easy coping with my 3 kids X – Husband knocking on my door again. Want me back into his life. I was remarried two years back with a man that accepted me and the kids. We went through alot of difficult times. On the brink of loosing it all. Please pray with me, that my X Husband will leave me alone and move on. I am asking for a financial breakthrough and strenght to stand strong against temptation.
Praying!!

Please pray for me.. im going thru a very painful breakup.. im still living with my wife and kids.. after 10 years she wants me out she’s seeing another man.. or she will call the police if I don’t get out by Monday.. I hve nowhere to go.. I cant afford a hotel or room.. the pain is just numbing.. PLEASE .. pray for me PLEASE
I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through, Carlos!! Keep in mind, though,that you have RIGHTS. Your wife can call the police all she wants; they can’t throw you out of your own home. If your wife is the 100% sole owner of your home, then she still has to give you 30 days notice to get out; she can’t insist that you leave instantly, and all the police in the world won’t change that. Depending on what state you live in, she might not have the right to throw you out at all, and/or, if she’s the one with the $ as well, she might owe you emergency spousal support. Please contact your closest free legal aid office to find out what you are entitled to. I’ll be praying for you!!
Please pray that God gave me the wisdom and knowledge to past my test that I took on Friday 12/23/16 my job depends on it.

I feel a bit scared I really don’t want to loose my job please pray for me I thank you Jesus my life is in your hands. I did my best and have been studying a lot so thank you Jesus for all your help. I am not smart or have good understanding but I am a child of the most high God amen

Can you tell me if god is speaking to me through happens in our family’s life when my father in law was living he had many health issues that lead to his death after years of suffering through them ,before his death he was in hospital with him having heart surgery ,an later we were told they lost him twice on the table but brought him back that ment he went to heaven ,because the month before he died he kept saying odd things like one of them was a boy they watched grow up was getting married who was not he was not engaged that he talked to his mom who had been dead 30years,the week before my father in law died he was upset because he was going to be late for Eric’s wedding he named the day the wedding was July 30,2006. he was not engaged my father in law died Nov.26,2006 Eric did get married July 30,2007 an he had not seen my in laws in many years prior to dads death this to me tells me that god loves us so much he will give us great detail in things that mean the most to us. An there are lots of times I feel deep in my soul if some one I am around is facing something they are not saying is this a gift from god ?
When God gives you signs, it is either to tell you to do something, or to tell you what He is going to do in your life; neither of those things seems to be the case here. This appears to just be a seriously ill person being confused and fantasizing, and a coincidence about a date.
There is nothing in the Bible to suggest that a person who dies and is then brought back has visited heaven during that time; God can tell the difference between medically dead for a few minutes and actually dead. I can understand the desire to believe that some sort of divine intervention is going on, but you need to stick to reality, because the enemy can use your wrong thinking to trick you.
At different points in my daily struggles these articles speak to my situation.
For myself i seem to have only one intention in my heart. In the past few years, i have been looking up to God to help me find meaningful connection, just the right amount to help me love again and settle down (Being married and staying married).
I pray also for a stable income, to be able to help me and others who look up to me and who need my help .
I pray Today for everyone here standing in the need of prayer, GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS.
My mother has been having severe back pain and muscle spasms. Tonight she had a particularly bad episode that has caused me a lot of worry. I know God is in the business of healing, and I’d like prayers that he’ll take care of my mother. She’ll be seeing a doctor soon; please pray that she’ll get prompt and effective treatment and that she won’t have this trouble again. Thank you!
Praying!!
Pray for my once great friend of mine that our friendship can be healed and restored. She has helped me with so much after my mother, grandmother and uncle passed away in such a short span and helped put my life back together. We both made terrible mistakes and I failed to understand her anxiety until now. We both have such huge hearts and love Jesus Christ but I think its my turn to help her find Jesus again. She can hurt me 1000 times and I will forgive her 1000 times because its who I am. I pray for you that God will soften your heart and give you wisdom and understanding. You’ll always be my friend.

I have been praying about financial flow to pay off all the debts I have. I have been trying to stay in faith. At times, I ask God, ashamed as I am, that if I spare some tithes due to lack of finances. And now, God showed me bountiful blessings of going to Germany to work as a nurse but I need to learn Deutsch first. Now my problem is, my tuition for school. I always believe that if it’s God’s will, it’s His bill. As for now, I wasn’t really able to finish the initial basic class due to lack of funds. Help me pray on this one. And if He wills for me not to go there, I pray He’d give the grace to accept the disapproval and still staying in faith He is with me in my troubling debts. In Jesus’ name. Shalom.

What does it mean when they say the lord will make your enemies your stepping stones or footstools.does it have to do with situations or people.
A situation cannot be an enemy except in a metaphorical sense, and more to the point, there’s no way that a situation can be put under you, so this verse is talking about people.
Please help me to pray to get God’s vindication for the situation that i am going through, in which i am being mentally and emotionally abused, mocked and bullied. Please pray that the perpetrators’ conscience and hearts are touched by God in a profound way so they will stop being so mean and hurtful and be better people. Thank you for your kind prayers.
Praying!!
Thank you so much for your kind prayers. May God bless you and your family always….
Please pray for my intentions, to be able to make a sound decision and remain peaceful, healthy in these trying times. I want to remain faithful and believe that God will not forsake me and He is looking after me even though I don’t seem to feel it. May He supply me with His grace to live day by day. May I meet people (in person) who will really care for me and will encourage me in these tough times. Jesus please embrace me.
Praying!!
Will do! I need to keep my faith as well, so I will pray for both of us!
My mother has been diagnosed with lung cancer and will start chemotherapy soon. God is good and merciful, and I know He still performs miracles today. If anyone reads this and feels compelled to join me in praying for my mom, please do! Our whole family needs His grace, and the doctors need His wisdom.
Thank you.

Hi! I accidently stumbled into your blog and I am sort of needing some prayer at the moment. Not directly for me, alhough indirectly it might be in the end. My (at the moment not boyfriend) is struggling with some issues from a past relationship, hence why we are not together at the moment. He needs to forgive his ex in order to get rid of the bitterness which seems to control his life now, and does not let him feel like he should. Would you pray he finds the way to forgive and free himself?
His name is Paul Edwards and he is loving and kind, and if he just could see some light maybe then he would let me help him as well. 🙂
Thank you!
I will pray for you too!

Thank you.
I’m glad you liked the sermon! I’ll be praying!

For anyone interested in prosperity in all ways, you may be interested in checking out Rev. John’s Golden Key Ministry. There are online courses you can take & free articles too. I have taken some and found them helpful. I am not affiliated with them in any way and don’t get a commission in case you are wondering.
Re: the medical student who posted some time ago, I hope you are doing well!
I dropped out of a library school program but I had no aptitude for it. I am thankful for the friends I made though.
If you were able to get into medical school and enjoy it perhaps you need not necessarily drop out – could you take a leave and then come back maybe? Or, is there a chance you might transfer to another medical school better suited to your needs?
Just the fact that you got in shows how smart you are!! If you don’t enjoy medicine, there are so many other fields of health you could work in – maybe some of your credits could be transferred over? Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Traditional Chinese Medicine or Ayurveda perhaps?
May God bless you and keep you always. You are already a blessing to the world no matter what you decide to study or where you decide to work.
Hello FH:

If my mom could please be kept in prayer re: her upcoming surgery on August 23rd around noon, EDT?
I have found your sermons most helpful and uplifting. Especially the Just one Good Break – it touches my heart so much.
Thank you and May God Bless You Most Abundantly with His Choicest Blessings!!!
🙂
I’ll start praying today! I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog.
Hi FH!
Thank you for prayers for my mom’s surgery (mastectomy) on August 23rd. The doctor said it went well. She is resting at home now. We are thankful for the wonderful hospital staff and volunteers.
She will supposedly be starting radiation too, sometime.
If you could please continue to keep her in prayer,we would be most grateful.
I have really enjoyed your Seventh Year sermon!
God bless.

I’m so happy to hear that her surgery went well! I will continue to keep her covered in prayer. I’m glad you’re enjoying my posts!

Hi FH: Please pray for O.Gupta – immediate/radical healing from oral cancer & depression/suicical
cannot eat , difficulty talking and can’t hear. Others are in agreement for this healing for her too.
Please and THank you.

Hi FH:
Thank you for keeping my mom in prayer re: her mastectomy and recovery.
We got good news from the surgeon and the pathology report today re: my mom. The surgeon will refer my mom to an oncologist who will have the final say on further treatment or no treatment. The surgeon doesn’t anticipate radiation for my mom – we are hoping for the best from the oncologist as well.
Other than that my mom is slowly getting back into the swing of things. She enjoyed a visit from out of town relatives last weekend- a welcome break.
I have found your ‘More than Enough” sermon most inspiring at this time.
Thank you for continued prayers. Thank you God.
Abundant Blessings,
Fantastic news! We will continue to pray for total healing in Jesus’ name!

Hi FH:
Could you please keep me in Praise prayer for a September breakthrough/restoration? My instinct is to keep Praising at this point. My mom is also in agreement /prayer with me.
It was the sermon at church today interestingly and I have been seeing the topic posted by others as well.
I have been praying for your requests and those of the group as well. I have also submitted them to be prayed over.
Thank you so much.
Abundant Blessings

Praying, and thank you!
Prayer request for health breakthrough. I am like the woman hemorrhaging in the bible-please let the bleeding stop soon. I am so desperate. I have been to the doctor before too. I will have to go again I think. have made mistakes as well. I am so sorry. I have been doing praise warfare as well.
B.
Praying!
How is your situation now? You need to ask your doctor to refer you to Gyno / Specialist. You need to be on Provera or similar to slow the bleeding. Then request (or the specialist will request) an ultrasound to see whats going on. It could be hormonal – or just an age thing. Go and sort this out. No woman should be suffering like this. It is extremely debilitating and quality of life fades! Prayers with you x
Hi Georgina!
Thank you so much for prayers. I am okay for now.
I will be seeing the gyno.on January 28th-that is the earliest I could get.
My doctor wouldn’t give me any medication -she said it was for the gynecologist to decide so I had to go through it for 6 weeks… The ultrasound didn’t reveal anything nor did the blood test apparently so I guess I will need additional help from specialist. Thank you so much for continued prayers.
God bless you! !!
Hi FH!
Good news re: my mom. She will be taking pills for the next 5 years -instead of chemo (she had a mastectomy in August). We are most grateful. Praise God!
Please and Thank you for continued prayers!
Also, I have tried subscribing to get your new posts via email but I am not receiving them – I am wondering if I did something wrong – I am not so techy.
That’s fantastic news, thank you for letting me know! You haven’t been getting new posts because there haven’t been any; in the next week or so, I’m hoping to post something explaining what’s been going on. Please keep me in your prayers, so that I can work my life out the way God wants me to!
Hi FH:
Yes, of course you are in my prayers re: God’s will for you at this time!
May Wonderful Blessings Abound for you !

I am seeking prayer for God’s Will To Be Done In My Life. I am the manager of two medical practices. I was forced to recently hire a new inexperienced employee (a family friend of the physician.) This person has absolutely no experience in the medical field (former truck driver). He also thinks he can do my job better than me – however, the biggest problem is the havoc he is causing in the office (did I mention his wife already worked here). He is taking staff out for happy-hour, where they discuss all that is wrong with the office and all the things he thinks is wrong. The office staff that does not participate in this is almost as miserable as I am. The offices have quadrupled in business since I have been here. When I started over 3 years ago – I was pulling them out of a hole they were in from the previous manager who had embezzled thousands of dollars. I am on call 24/7 and have never minded, I am dedicated, I am honest, and I have been doing what I am doing for numerous years. I am at an age, and the world is at a time when looking for a new job right now is not favorable. I have tried talking to the doctor to no avail. God knows the magnitude of what is going on in my life – I just really feel as though I need a lot of prayers.
I’ll certainly be praying for you! But I also have some advice; clearly, at least some of the older staff members agree with this new person about things that are wrong in the office… So maybe it’s time to make some changes! It’s not a reflection on you or how hard you’ve worked; some people just prefer some things over others, or would just rather have things change than stay the same… Sometimes, you have to change with the times, or change just to make people happy.
please pray for a much needed financial miracle. my life is so shackled.
Praying!
Please pray that God will give me a good, stable job. I’ve been in and out of work for almost 5 years now.

Praying!
Do you know how much authority I have within my covenant to stand in the gap and pray on behalf of my husband without crossing the line into witchcraft? I would appreciate some understanding if you do! Thank you
You have infinite authority to pray for your husband, and praying NEVER crosses into witchcraft.
Oh, okay. I was under the impression that prayers that are prayed out of a desire to manipulate another person are considered witchcraft. Not that I consciously want to manipulate him but I wasn’t sure if praying things that involve his own free will could cross the line.
I’ll keep standing in the gap for him from afar. There’s no distance in the spirit.
Thank you 🙏
Witchcraft is a very specific thing, that has nothing to do with praying to God, so no matter what you pray or how often you pray it, it NEVER has anything to do with witchcraft. Not all prayers are optimal, not all prayers are positive, and not all prayers are something that God is going to respond to with blessings, but they’re NEVER witchcraft. You might want to take a closer look at whatever person or source told you otherwise.
Manipulate means: to control or influence something or someone so that you get an advantage, often unfairly or dishonestly.
In other words, “manipulate” means that you’re trying to accomplish something NEGATIVE… although nothing to do with witchcraft! If you’re trying to do something negative to your husband, or rather trying to get GOD to do something negative to your husband, it isn’t witchcraft, and God won’t do it so nothing manipulative will actually be accomplished, but that would be at least TRYING to be manipulative. But if it’s your hope that God will change something in a POSITIVE way for your husband or your marriage, that is the exact OPPOSITE of manipulation. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to change what someone is choosing to do with their free will when what they’re choosing to do is bad, or doesn’t represent God’s best for their life or marriage!
Again, you really need to take a close look at where you’re getting some of these unusual ideas from… and when in doubt, see what the Bible says, or doesn’t say, about an issue. There is absolutely NOTHING in the Bible that connects praying to God with witchcraft, or that says that praying for someone to change has anything to do with manipulation or witchcraft… And any source that’s telling you anything different is contrary to scripture.
Thank you, I’ll look into it further. I have heard it being described as “witchcraft” from lots of trusted sources, including a prayer ministry course I took at my church which is, in general, a biblically sound church. I have read and heard it being described that way multiple times since from other sources I would consider credible. Not that I’m contending for this idea to be true. I haven’t looked into it through scripture so I guess I should have done that first and ask the Holy Spirit. I’m not overly concerned about labeling it anyway, I just want to stay away from praying for anything that the enemy could answer instead. Or is that also not a thing?
I mostly just pray for him to be blessed, for God’s loving-kindness to lead him to repentance, for his heart to be softened and for his eyes of understanding to be enlightened. I’ve been praying these things for so long though. He is a good man and seeks God so I had hoped these things would be accomplished by now but I think there’s a bit more childhood and even current family stuff going on so I’ll just keep praying and waiting.
Thank you again for taking the time to respond.
Let me start by saying that I had never, EVER previously heard of this idea of only been able to pray a limited amount, or too much praying somehow turning into witchcraft, anywhere in the Christian community; what that means is, this is NOT a normal or common or widely accepted idea. One of the drawbacks of the modern world is that when you come across an idea, it will typically include references to other sources that accept that same idea, and if you look it up on Google, it will give you a bunch of results, which makes it look like it’s an accepted thing, it never tells you how many sources DON’T include what you’re looking for, and so doesn’t give you an understanding of how rare or new an idea is. This leads to you believing, in error, that something is commonly accepted when it’s NOT.
What makes a source a “trusted source”? Because a group of people appear to trust it? As I’m sure you’ve seen in the political realm, groups of people can believe things that are foolish or even evil, and the sources who put forth those ideas are trusted by groups of people. There are many sources in the Christian world that put forth ideas that are wrong, foolish, counter to scripture, and even evil, that have groups of people that trust them; that doesn’t mean that they should be generally considered trusted sources, or more to the point, doesn’t mean that they should be trusted by YOU.
It becomes more difficult when you or people you care about have trusted a source; one of the hardest things you need to do as a Christian is to understand that neither your own judgment, nor the judgment of the people you care about, is foolproof. Wrong and even evil ideas can be very seductive; the enemy makes sure of that. It can sometimes become necessary to STOP trusting a source that you previously trusted, even if that source is someone you care about, or your church. I know that’s hard, I truly do; I’ve done it.
And of course it does become even more difficult when a church or ministry is trusted, but believe me when I say, there are plenty of churches and ministries where things are taught that have nothing to do with the Bible, even though every church or ministry SAYS it’s all about the Bible, and throws out enough scripture to make it look like maybe they are. They count on people NOT checking to verify that everything they say is backed up by scripture, and not being thoroughly familiar with the Bible. In a situation where people are unfamiliar with the Bible and are blindly following leadership, it’s incredibly easy for a leader to become infatuated with some ridiculous idea, toss it out and have it accepted… And it’s also incredibly easy for the enemy to step in, pass along ideas completely contrary to scripture, contrary to anything Jesus ever said, contrary to the entire CONCEPT of Christianity, and corrupt entire groups of Christians.
And don’t be fooled, that is exactly what has happened here. The Bible says repeatedly about praying, and praying all the time, it never EVER says to only pray a limited amount, or that praying beyond a certain level ever in some mysterious way becomes witchcraft. God would NEVER want or ask you to only pray a limited amount for someone, so that idea can’t be from God… And if it’s not from God, there’s only one other possibility, right? THE ENEMY. The enemy absolutely positively wants you to pray LESS, because he knows how much power your prayers have against him and his plans. When you limit your prayers, you aren’t serving God’s plan, you are serving the ENEMY’S plan… Which of course was never your intention! The painful truth here is that just because something is taught in your church, doesn’t mean that it’s good or right:
1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons
The enemy does not and cannot answer prayers! This is another concept that does not exist in the Bible. It is vitally important that you resist and reject the temptation to create a version of the supernatural realm in your head that varies from how the Bible describes it! The enemy is NOT the equal and opposite of God, the enemy is a created being, created BY God, and has infinitely less power, knowledge and ability than God does. We do NOT have a situation of dueling deities, as is typical in pagan mythologies, there is ONE God, and then the enemy and his demonic forces that God permits to cause trouble within certain limits. Under no circumstances should you EVER restrict your prayers or any other part of your relationship with God with the thought that somehow the enemy is getting involved. God NEVER wants you to limit your interactions with Him… Only the enemy would ever want you to limit your interactions with God.
God led you HERE for a reason. Continue to pray for all those good things for your husband, but also add prayers that YOU will receive understanding, because YOUR counter-scripture ideas are absolutely positively 100% a part of the problem in your marriage. Choose one of the many fine programs that exist to guide you through reading the entire Bible in a year, I recommend the Daily Audio Bible, you’re only 9 days behind at this point, dive in and start reading the Bible every single day without fail. Before you do your daily Bible study, pray to be shown the truth, use this verse:
Psalm 119:18
Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things from Your law.
Stick to it no matter what, and I guarantee you, by the end of this year, when you have gone through the entire Bible cover to cover for the first time, your heart will have changed, everything in your spiritual life will have changed, your relationship with God will have changed, it will be a whole new ball game! And, you will be better able to recognize when ideas are being taught that are contrary to scripture. Any idea that you are given, you should automatically ask yourself, what does the Bible say about this? Yes, this will be a lot of work, but the symbol of Christianity is the CROSS, not the easy chair; you need to do the work to be sure that the enemy can’t deceive you.
And finally, if you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend watching War Room, a wonderful movie about praying your way to victory in your marriage. Good luck!
Okay, I can see what you’re saying and I agree that no one, and no church, is fool proof.
By the way, the understanding I had had nothing to do with how often, or how much, I prayed or any limit of quantity – I am continually praying about this situation and just chatting to God in general. It was more about the type of things or the motivation behind it. Like, praying for my husband to change. I wasn’t sure how close that might get to violating another’s free will and what role our covenant plays in my spiritual authority towards him as we are separated, but not yet legally divorced. I understand that we both need to humble ourselves to be changed, refined, and healed by God but I wasn’t sure if me praying for my husband to change was manipulative. But, as you have said that you believe there is no harm in it as God just won’t answer any prayers that don’t align with His will.
I will reread what you have written and talk to God about it all. As you have suggested, I must weigh up the advice, or ideas, from anyone. I just want to be as effective as possible with my prayers and ignore the doubt and lies that arise when there is delay and things look impossible in the natural.
Thanks for your reading plan and movie suggestion. I have not seen that movie so I will definitely have a watch. It sounds helpful.
Oops, I forgot to tick for notification by email so leaving this comment.
I’m at a loss as to what your earlier post meant other than the amount of prayer that you’re allowed to do… But whatever it is, you might have said that that wasn’t what you meant a bunch of paragraphs ago when I first mentioned it, lol! Whatever, online communication can be convoluted sometimes, just ignore that part of what I said.
There’s nothing in the Bible that says that prayers can’t have anything to do with another person’s free will. Everything that God does is by definition right, and if He affects someone’s free will, whether because of prayers or because of reasons of His own, it is by definition right. There’s no cause to ever be concerned about God doing the right thing as He always does. If you think someone is doing the wrong thing, it’s your duty to pray that they will change; if it turns out that you have misunderstood the situation, and there isn’t actually a problem, no harm will come of it, because God’s actions are taken based on His infinite and perfect knowledge and understanding, He isn’t “forced” to take action because you prayed.
Since you are separated, I have one more recommendation for you; Rejoice Marriage Ministries. Check out their website, the teachings and testimonies, and there is also a newsletter you can sign up for. Keep on praying!
Please pray that the love of my life will have forgiveness and return to us,
Praying!
Please pray that the current situation with the house that my parents and I rent being sold turns out the best it can for us, that we have favor with the new owners, and that if we have to move, our new house and the property it is on fulfill all of our needs, and the moving process is as free of stress and trouble as it can be.
Please also pray for us, and especially my father, for have the health problems that currently affect us badly healed.
Also, if it is not out of line to ask God for something regarding people’s actions and things that have happened but are not fully known to us, please ask Him, if it is within His will, for the accusation against Maureen that has been heavy on my heart of late to not be true and for me to soon have knowledge of it being false.
It’s always OK to ask God for anything, the Bible tells us to pray about everything! Praying!
Since my previous comment above, my parents and I have found one – and only one – house that meets all of our needs (and it is rare for a house to meet all of the specific needs we have), but a situation has arisen which puts our ability to rent it in jeopardy. In a nutshell, the landlord and the Section 8 officials (we need Section 8 to afford the house, due to my father’s disability and the resulting financial situation) have reached an impasse regarding rent price. Could you please pray that somehow an agreement is reached that allows us to rent the house and that we get to live there?
Also, could you please pray that my next-door neighbor Donald and his family, whose house burned down with all their possessions (and they have no insurance) have as much of what they have lost replaced or even improved upon as is within God’s will, and that my current landlord’s worker Danny heals of his intestinal cancer with as little permanent damage to his body and as little pain as is within God’s will, and also that Joyce’s married couple friends who recently fell down in their house heal and that if it’s within God’s will, the husband doesn’t lose his arm?
Praying!
Calvary greetings; I just came across this page….At the moment, I don’t know how long i can cope with is pain, I’m heartbroken at my age 32, I’m not married, no job, no source of income still depending on my mum for some basic needs which hurts me the more. This pain is too much for me, please commit me in your prayers that God will restore all that I lost, mend my broken heart and make me a testimony of “How did it happen”
Praying!
Please add me to your prayer list I am waiting on Gods purpose for my life his destiny for my future I m have some serious health issues that seem to be blocking me from moving forward please pray that he gives me strength to press on and that the mind games will stop so says the Lord also my marriage need Gods touch so much I’m dealing with but I know it a small thing for Jehovah! Pray for me🙏🛡️

I very recently posted about the rent situation my parents and I are in and some of our neighbor’s problems.
Unfortunately, now my father has a new problem. Last week, he fell down, but seemed fine at the time other than a scraped elbow. But yesterday, he said that his back was hurting, and it turned out that he had a big bruise on it. Today, it was suddenly hurting so bad that he was immobilized by pain in his bed and couldn’t get up. We called an ambulance and they took him to the hospital for tests. They said that nothing was broken and that all he has is a bruise, but for whatever reason, the bruise is causing him severe pain whenever he tries to make certain movements. He’s sleeping now, but said that he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to get up and move around when he wakes up.
Could you please pray for his pain to go away and him to get his mobility back, and for the injury to truly be nothing more than a bruise like the doctors say?
Also, could you please pray for the blessing and wellbeing of a nice elderly lady named Laurie who I met today, and her husband, both of whom have disabilities?
Praying!
Could you please pray for my Aunt Sandra? She’s in a nursing home, and a few days ago she fell down and was incoherent after. She was already in very poor health. We haven’t been able to find out anything about her condition since then (she doesn’t answer her phone now, she’s in another state, and her children don’t want to talk to us).
Praying!
Please pray for the double portion

I praise God for these posts
Thank you 🙏 💕
Praying!
can you pray for me please that my girlfriend Kimberly gets cured of her terrible illness she’s had it for a long time now and that she responds to my Hotmail and Gmail messages and that she comes on Hangouts chat and Google messages.
