Official Prayer Thread!! (Prayer Request)

[Maritimer]

My deepest thanks to each of you, fellows in love for Creation and the Creator . . .

My four year old Grand Daughter, Greta has a rare disease, she is not growing and may need a feeding tube. She just woke up from an endoscopy and I am sick over it. To look at her, she seems fine. No symptoms, she's happy and healthy looking. Beautiful little girl.
We are sick over it.

Paul, this charming girl deserves nothing but joy and pleasure. My prayers are going out to her and to your family for healing and peace and the joy in that grin and those sparkling eyes, and for guidance to her Doctors, that they may discover the path to wellness and the freedom from fear.

I ask for my family to be lifted in prayer. I have an end stage terminally ill grandfather, whom I'm not sure has accepted Christ, and is now no longer capable of making such a decision at the conscious level. Various other family squabbling has made this difficult. I'd ask for prayers for my grandfather's soul, peace/understanding and common ground in the aftermath of what's coming. I find it fantastic that this outlet exists. Thank you!

Traylor23, Prayers are going out to your family, that their eyes are opened to the pain of this strife, and that your Grandfather's passing from this life to the next is peaceful, and brings his children and grandchildren closer together; also, that his soul is taken into the care of Angels and the House of the Lord.

Thank you guys. God sent me a beautiful, calming sign today. He is in control, and he let me know that in a strong way today. Simply amazing.

I've been hesitant to share this here, but my wife and I have been trying to conceive with no luck on our own. We started seeing a specialist several months ago and have been going through fertility treatments. It breaks my heart to see tears in my wife's eyes... I ask for prayers that God blesses us with the gift of parenthood. We both know he has a plan, but waiting on it to be revealed is never easy. Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the prayers, and ask that you keep them coming as the journey continues... due date Oct 15, 2017 :eek:o_O:)

We're not telling any of our friends yet as it's still early... 6 weeks. I'm sharing here, because it's simply too hard to contain my excitement and not tell someone!!!

Please help me, it fells like God hates me, with all my recent medical issues I got a call at 2 in the morning my mother had a bowl obstruction she had surgery and they found holes in her asofigus. All her stats went down so they stopped surgery they medivack her to Harborview medical in Seattle WA. I received a call from the surgeon at 10 am stating that with the infection and the holes in her asofigus that she has 7% chance of survival if they take her to surgery to try tout mesh it it gives her a 17% to make it through the surgery. I am sitting at the airport for a 115 emergency flight to Seattle family all trying to get there. Omg help me I don't think I'm strong enough for this. I barley made it and not even weeks later I'm trying to get there before she dies. Please don't take her yet, let me say goodbye. I am an only child why...I don't understand, I can't handle this, please pray for us and if you would like to call and pray with me omg I need something it will take me 3 hours to get there. My number is 208-964-3782 and I would not post my number but I feel no hope. God why

 

[James Jordan]

I called and tried to reach out to you just now. I'm so sorry to hear that your mom is in the hospital and struggling right now. There is very little that one can say to comfort you when you know that someone that you love dearly is fighting for their life.

Let me assure you that God does not hate you. Sickness and death were never part of his perfect plan for you and for me. These times are horrible and painful but God is still in control. The beauty of Christ's sacrifice is that even in death we stand at the door of eternity and on the brink of complete and total relief from pain and brokenness if we know Christ Jesus.

I just spent some time begging for God to use your mom in a miraculous way today. To heal her in a way that causes His name to be exalted. I pray that you get to spend some time with her today but also for many more days ahead. In Jesus name!

Thanks Maritimer, Greta got a good result from her endoscopy and is slightly better so the steroids are helping. We just today got back from Disneyworld with her and her brother

 

[Maritimer]

What a precious little lady! I don't guess there are too many things that'll lift the heart of a youngster more than a trip to the Magic Kingdom, and not too many things that'll lift the heart of her Grandpa more than that smile ... and the fact that there are folks out there offering up prayers for that smile's continued appearances!

Skybears, I know that God doesn't hate you, but that sometimes the Master Sculptor's methods of moulding His creations can feel painful . . . Prayers are headed to meet you in Seattle, for a miracle for your mother and the comfort of her family . . .

Asking for prayer- a dear friend of mine is showing signs of mental illness. Not sure what to say or do. Some days, I wish I could have an honest conversation with them and ask them to get help, but honestly, not sure they would understand or comprehend they need to see someone.

Do you mind me asking what signs? Like are they having wicked thoughts like a disturbed person or are they all depressed? Could it be like a random paranoia?

 

[Psiber_Syn]

@adestafi I too had a friend who was going through this same situation it got so bad they would make up situations just to try to gain sympathy from others. It was a sad site to say the least. Prayers coming to you and your friend.

 

[James Jordan]

@adestafi - will pray for you and your friend.

I know you aren't posting for advice but if there is any doubt in your mind I would have that conversation. I have found for those who are struggling with mental issues a calm conversation at the right time is enough to begin the difficult conversations that need to take place. I have been a part of a few of those as a pastor and they never go the way you would expect. I think when the person knows you are approaching them out of love and a desire to see them healthy they respond favorably.

I would love some prayer for the wisdom to care for the critters that bring me so much joy.
