Please pray that God may continue to work in our lives and heal our marriage.  That he may keep us safe from anyone or anything that wants to destroy our marriage and our covenant with God.  That we may always feel the love that we feel now and that if ever either one of us is tempted may God convicts in our hearts and turn away from sin.  That we can be not only better husband and wife, but also better parents to our child.

Thank you,

Claudia

Please pray for Roy, a patient in ICU at Metrohealth in Cleveland.  Specifically prayer is needed that Roy would awake from a week long coma from a tragic pedestrian/truck accident.  Roy was the pedestrian. Please also pray for the driver who is suffering from tremendous sorrow from this accident.  Thank you.

I am looking for a prayer for my husband’s family as they seem to be falling apart as the result of my mother-in-law’s recent stroke.  They bicker and argue constantly about what is best for her, and now, it seems they’re not speaking to my father-in-law at all.  I’m worried that my mother-in-law’s MUCH NEEDED care and prayer is going to get lost in the shuffle–any suggestions would be appreciated.  I pray for her and them daily, but I’m kind of at a loss for the right words to say to help them put aside their differences for the greater good.  Thank you!

I run my own business and my company has been in bad shape for the past years. Our debtors are not paying us, they have been missing in action. We couldn’t locate them. Sometime back, I’ve borrowed a sum o f money from my sis. Now that it’s been a while, she’s asking me back for the money. My sis is a persistent kind of person. She would not take ‘Later” for an answer. I’ve been suffering from her constant harassment in terms of words. She would call me everyday to ask me for the money. Right now, i couldn’t pay her back yet.

Two days ago, without checking our company balance account, I banked in the payment for my sis. I was hoping for a miracle to happen. At the back of my mind, I was hoping that my debtors would TT the money to us. But this morning, I’ve received a call frm the bank, my banker told me that our account has been overdrawn. My first thought was, “there’s no such thing as miracle” I am really losing my faith in God. Why do i have to go through these again? Before this, my company has been experiencing other financial prob too because of the previous management. So, it’s really a non-stop war at the company, I’ve been fighting to survive. And I thnk I’ve fought enough. There were times when the pressure was too much that i thought of commiting suicide. I just wanted these to end. Pls pray for my financial needs, my company and my home bills.

Thank you.

I need prayer. Please!

Just happened to stumble upon this site by chance and let me say that I am most appreciative of your offer to pray for those who need it. I know the power of God and will not turn down an opportunity to be prayed over by my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I’m a 26 year old mother of 2 and this weekend I told my husband I wanted a divorce. I don’t really, but I also don’t feel that I can go on living in the situation we’re in – he is addicted to a drug and won’t quit, refuses to discuss bills or contribute to the household, and is verbally abusive. He doesn’t like to spend time with his family, and constantly chooses his drug and druggie friends over us. It hurts immensely, and I’ve cried out to God over this over and over. While I often receive momentary comfort from Him, I have a difficult time burying the resentment I feel over single-handedly running a household while my husband plays video games at his drug dealer’s house. When he IS at home, he’s yelling at and berating our 2 small daughters, often reducing them to tears. It’s heart-breaking and frustrating to endure these situations over and over.

I’m torn between honoring my marriage vows and making a better life for my daughters and me. I don’t feel like I can spiritually lead our house while being around him – I’m so angry and thus distracted all the time. I also have a hard time reconciling how God would want us to live in such a miserable situation, one that seems to destine my young children for a life of emotional scars and embittered childhood memories. I just want to break away and start fresh in a place where we can be free of the strains of all his problems. I love him and deep down, do NOT want this, but what choice do I really have? Is it a sin to get out of a situation like this? I don’t want to displease God or rob my kids of a daddy, but it seems the love in our marriage is not reciprocal. That realization coupled with all the other problems has shattered my heart and is therefore affecting every area of our life. Our family is so broken, and I don’t know any other way to mend it other than divorce.

The pain is so intense that I cry every night, unsure of God’s direction. I need prayer, badly. It is MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in Christ,

Carissa

My name is Jill. I attended a Lutheran church from the early 1960’s to the early 1980’s in my hometown in Illinois. Twenty-eight years ago, I turned my back on God when my fiancé was killed in a car accident.

In May of 2005, when my life became messy and I felt that God was calling me back to Him, I rededicate my life back to Christ and found a non-denomintional church here in Las Vegas. At that time, my husband became a Christian for the very first time in his life at the age of 51.

All my life, I bottled up a lot of stuff, a lot of abuse and some of life’s greatest pains. Some people that know me would not think those things happened to me or in my life because I always hid them from everyone. Last year at this time, I was just starting to learn to trust people in our church and really open up about all the abuse in my entire life. So I sought the advice and guidance of one of the pastor’s in our church at the end of August. She set up a meeting with me. The pastor took everything the wrong way and turned on me. I ended up coming home from that meeting and actually collapsing into my husband’s arms. I feel that the pastor abused me emotionally and spiritually that night.

Due to all the abuse in my life, I viewed the church as my one and only “safe haven”. It was the one and only place I was not abused or wounded. I feel that changed at the end of August after meeting with that pastor. Due to my upbringing in the church, I respected and admired pastors. I always looked up to “pastors” and viewed them as a “representatives of God”. I do admit that I placed them on pedesals. They have a higher calling to be “people that are supposed to act like Jesus”. I also understand that pastors are human too.

Since September, my husband and I feel that we cannot go to a church due to the ill feelings. I feel that I will never be able to walk into that church again and hold my head high or feel like I am home or at peace. I feel that I have no safe haven to go to now. I am still so deeply hurt. This has caused me more emotional and mental pain than all of the things I have been through. To this day, the pastor did not even apologize for their actions. Back in September, my husband emailed the senior pastor of the church in an attempt to get the matter resolved. However, to this day, the situation has not been resolved.

I just want to wake up one day and this nightmare between the pastor and I to be over with. I keep praying for God to take away all my pain and suffering over the course of my life. I am also now having a hard time with my Christian faith and beliefs. My spark is slowing going out. It took me 25 years to go back to church after the lost of my fiancé. I don’t want that to happen again.

Would you please pray for God to heal me from everything that has happened (all the abuse) and to help me get back on track with my relationship with Him (God)? Also, please pray that God shows my husband and I the direction we are supposed to go in, possibly finding a different church. Also, that He (God) will put people in life to show me what true love is and that He truly does love me?

Thank You!

God’s Blessings,

Jill S.

I have been a foster parent for just over a year now. In September of last year I took in a 15 year old girl who is extremely troubled. Recently she decided to go to a friends for the weekend (which is not allowed) while she out she ended up stealing a car and of course got caught. Because i did not call her in as a runaway like I should have, they ended up taking the other two children in my home– one being my grandson and the other my 5 year old whom I have had for almost a year. Both of these children were close to being adopted by me.

Please pray that a determination will be made that my two children will be returned to my home. My children really need God’s favor right now so that their lives can get back to normal and that they can be back home where they belong. We have all been thrown into the Lion’s Den and I am struggling to hang on. I miss my children very badly! Please pray also that while they are away that God’s angels protect them and watch over them.

Blessings, Kim

We need prayers! My 18 year old son, Matt, has been making a lot of bad choices in the past 3-4 months. It seems like Satan is really on the attack. Please pray for him. He graduates soon, and I’m not sure what is next. Please pray for me. I’m scared, and my heart hurts so badly right now.

Thank you,
Michelle

Please pray for the salvation of my husband and my marriage. My husband has been living in sin and I was just so devastated when I learned about it. But I believe that God will not allow this to continue. I have been praying and standing for the restoration of my marriage and I believe my prayers are not in vain.

Please pray for us. We really need prayer warriors now more than ever.

I am not sure if you could be of any assistance, but I am trying to get the word out about a dear friend of mine’s story. She is an awesome Christian woman and you could find her new blog here: www.littleoneapril.blogspot.com

Her daughter is terminally ill and it is obvious that her story has already touched a lot of other Christian (and non Christian women) the last week she has had her blog up.

A friend of mine actually told me about CWO and I thought I would check it out and see if you could help me and her and her daughter get other Christian sisters united in prayer for this sweet girl.

Thank you so much.

In Christ,
Christine
