Prayer Requests #1

[jimmytoes]

We’ll keep praying for her and you Jimmytoes. What an awful ordeal to have to go through right before her surgery. That woman must be a Saint or something, (you too). Let us know how everything goes.

Thank you all for your prayers. The surgery went well, and she is doing well. She may be coming home tomorrow.

… I wish I had strength too. Maybe the Lord has answered my prayers or maybe He hasn’t. I might not be listening or realizing it. Maybe it is too painful for me to accept.

    I also had a very low time in my life before, and again I am at a low time now.  I prayed very hard to the Lord.  I asked that He introduce me to the man that will never leave me, the man I would marry.  When I met Brant, I knew it was him.  I was surprised.

    ... 

    But I am scared.  For I have been away from God for a long time.  Maybe He wants me back and He doesn't want me with Brant anymore.  I do not know God's will.  I am praying that He let us get married.  We are still in love.  The relationship is rocky.

I need the Lord. I have come back to Him. I am here to stay. But I fear that I am losing my mind. The only thing that comforts me are prayers. Talking to God and reading the prayers people pray for me. Talking to Brant also gives me some relief, but I am scared I might say the wrong thing or hear something that will hurt.

    I need a miracle Lord.  I must be selfish.  ...

Cris,
First of all, Thanks for your prayers. It’s a great comfort to have so many prayer warriors out there helping me to raise my hands.
Second of all, I will pray for you and Brad, but read Matthew 6:24 - 34. And especially 32 & 33. Your heavenly Father knows what you need. Seek first His kingdom, and all that you need will be given to you. I will pray that Brad is a part of His plan for you, but what ever it is, His plan will always make us happier than our plan. In Him we need put all our trust.

God Bless.

Praise the Lord. Thank you. You have provide for us and continue to do so no matter how bad we might be. I’m so sorry Lord. I’m so lost. Please help me find the way.

Thank you Jimmy. I really appreciate your prayers. I will pray for you cause. Please keep me in your prayers, especially when you go to mass.

 

[TrueLove]

I have recently rejoined the Catholic faith. I was lost. I still feel somewhat lost. I am trying my best to live a Catholic life. It is hard to let go of old habits. I pretty much have quit cold turkey on most of them. I hope you can pray so I can become a better believer.

I would also like to ask if you could pray for Brant and me. We love each other. Outside influences are affecting our relationship. At many points we wanted to get married. I prayed to God so many times for our marriage. So that we can finally be happy together. I knew that this was what we BOTH wanted. And I was praying to meet the man that was always going to stay with me and I would marry. And I thought God answered my prayers when He introduced me to Brant.

People tell me that if it is not is God’s will, then there are other plans for me. I have no choice but to do God’s will. I am scared that it will not be what I was dreaming, but I would have to accept. My problem now is, I do not know what is God’s will for me. Sometimes it seems like this and sometimes it seems like that. So I pray very hard for three things. That Brant and I could get married. Secondly, that if that is not God’s will, that I would know for sure because I could be fooled by evil into thinking otherwise. And thirdly, that whatever is in God’s will, I would have the strength to follow it. Whether it is what I ask or not.

Please pray for me. Bless all of you. Your prayers are giving me strength everyday and I feel the love and support of God through these prayers. Every morning and evening I read them and I thank the Lord for introducing all of you to me. I thank you all for your support. The prayers and my rosary time are the highlights of my day. I feel comfort talking to the Lord, something I did not feel when I was away from Him. And now I want to share this with Brant. He is a Christian, but if we were to get married, he was willing to get Baptized in the Catholic Church and we could go to church together. So I desperately pray that my love for him and my love for God will fill him with inspiration. Brant loves the fact that I love God and am going to church now. I desperately pray that if we can marry that he will be converted. I do not force this upon him. He is willing because he loves me so and wants to be loved by God. He just can’t do it alone. He needs a nudge. Please Lord give me strength to convert him through my love and my actions. Please put some faith into all of us.

Please pray for us. Thank you all… Bless you…

From the thread I hate eye doctors

Celia:

I’ve been having some issues lately. I have to go today to an eye surgeon so they can give me that pupil-dilation thing and poke things in my eyes to see if my retina is damaged in my left eye.

I hate that. I can’t even wear contacts because I can’t stand stuff being near my eyes.

I was looking forward to relaxing with a nice walk before my appointment today and now it’s pouring.

Boo hoo. (I know…I’m feeling very whiny today…)

If you guys could pray that everything goes well it would be much appreciated. Thanks…

From the thread Please pray for my Dad!

LydiaW:

My dad just called me and told me some serious news. He has found a growth on the side of his head, and it is really hurting him. He had a growth once before, on his shoulder, but it has never hurt him. We are really worried it might be cancer or something. Please pray with me that the growth won’t be cancer!

 

[TrueLove]

Dear Karen,
I will pray for dear baby Mattie's wellbeing and that of his parents. If things go well, it would be so exciting to hear their story and to know that our prayers for Mattie were answered. May the Lord bless Mattie and his family. Let's hope he is survives and gets well. We care for you Mattie. Please live long and healthy. We love you... Please God take care of them...

 

[djrakowski]

**From the thread **Request for prayers for my wife

Thanks for the prayers, everyone. She’s feeling better, and the doctor isn’t worried.

 

[Celia]

Thanks everyone for your prayers from the eye doctor thread. They’re not sure what is up with me but I don’t think it’s anything too serious because the scans came up as my eyes being healthy - so who knows. I think your prayers must be working thanks again.

 

[Barbara_Ann]

I will pray today for baby Mattie. My own daughter was three months premature. She is almost 32 now. Everyday I thank God that we both are alive.

 

[TrueLove]

I prayed for baby Mattie today. I also prayed for many of the people on this site. There are so many people in need for prayers. I hope that your prayers will be answered. It seems as if all of us have something to say from our hearts. I really hope that the Lord answers our prayers… Thank you Lord for everything. Day by day I learn more. I become more humble. And I know that you are the one true God, all seeing, all knowing, all powerful. I love you, Lord, and so do all the others here. Please don’t forget us. I missed being with you all these years.

 

[Fitz]

Prayers being said for all the requests!

 

[Zooey]

I would ask for your prayers for a dear & wonderful elderly man named Harold, who belongs to my church.
He had a hip replacemant last week, but there have been complications, & he is in ICU…At one point the family was called in, they thought he might not make it.
He is now on antibioitics & seems some improved, but the doctors are still keeping him in ICU because of other problems.
Harold’s wife of 60+ years, Elsie, is under great stress, as are their entire family…They are really almost family to me, dear sweet Christian people who are much younger in spirit than their 80 odd years.
Especially for the right treatment & a good response to it, are the things I pray for…They are both so very dear to me & to all who know them.

As always, I pray for all requests on this thread. God bless you all.

 

[TrueLove]

Most certainly Zooey. I will pray. The love of friends and family creates a strong bond. We will add to that bond with our prayers. The Lord will help your friend and his loved ones. I will pray for him and all of you. God Bless… I hope he gets better soon.

Welcome home Randy, I hope you find a good Charismatic prayer group in your Church family. You can start with your children on passing on your belief’s. God bless you and keep you.
–For Forest-Pine’s little child. (and for their family and them)
Cris, we understand and know your agony from your pouring your heart out here, how much more the Lord know’s. He has your best interest at heart, just keep praying and trust in Him. If He brings you to it, He’ll bring you through it-no matter what.
–Jimmytoes, so happy to hear your good news. God is so good.
We will continue praying for your wife and you.
Still praying for tiny Mattie.
—Thank God huh Dan? (djrakowski)We will continue to keep your wife and family and you and most especially her little one that she is carrying in our prayers.(please keep my daughter in your prayers as she is going through a very difficult pregnancy.) Thank you.(please ask St. Gerard’s intercession). He is the Patron Saint of expectant Mother’s.
Celia, I believe St. Lucy is the patron Saint of those with eye problems. I will keep you in prayer with her intercession.
—For Lydia’s father (St. Peregrine, pray for us)…and still for maggieodae’s husband too and for all of those suffering with cancer.
For Fitz and family, most especially your daughter. Tomorrow, being Veteran’s day I will say a special prayer just for her. I went to Adoration once already this week, but perhaps I will go again tomorrow and keep us all in prayer.
__Rayne, we will keep you in prayer too and your family. God bless you and all your suffering, be sure to unite your suffering to Christ for the salvation of souls. I know a good Priest who always says, “don’t let your suffering go to waste, offer it up.”!! I am so sorry to hear this about you Rayne, but I know that you know that God know’s what He is doing.
For Firebug’s cousin, aunt and little sister cousin, and for you Firebug. I asked the Blessed Mother to wrap him and all of you in her mantle of protection. May God bless them all. How heart-breaking that must be.
