I’ve never asked anyone for prayer before. Be it my wife, my best friend (Methodist pastor), or anyone. I was raised in a household where a man was strong, and if he needed help, he prayed himself. But, even then I feel completely out of my mind praying for my problems when they seem SO small in comparison to things.
Here recently I’ve been having some big difficulties with my lower c-spine with what I believe to be either a herniated or bulging disc. It’s causing nerve pain, spasms, numbness, tingling, and loss of muscle strength. I just haven’t had the chance to head to the doc, schedule the MRI, and wait for results. I’ve done everything possible that I can do on my own without serious medical intervention. So I ask, please pray for me.
I also ask, on behalf of my family, for our second child. My wife and I miscarried about a year ago, and so far (we’re at 16 weeks now), everything’s going good. I know that the miscarriage almost tore our marriage apart, and spiraled me back into relapse with alcohol. Granted, we weren’t strong in the church at that time as we’d both fallen away from our Christian faiths. I ask that you pray for a healthy term and delivery.
And the last thing (I promise), is that I’m able to transfer into my new promotional position that I’ve been waiting for 6 months for. I found out I had the job in Sept, and have been waiting on salary approval for all this time. In the mean time, I’ve been working the ER at a prison instead of the prison EMS service (you’d be surprised what wonderful calls you can get in a town with 17 prisons in the region). I praise God that he followed through with his promise that he will always provide for those who are faithful, and He is my only comfort in this trying time and situation.
Anyway, I thank you guys in advance. Like I said, even on an internet forum where no one is face to face, I still feel absolutely awkward about the entire idea of asking someone to pray for me.

Please pray for my friend also, Norberto who is practicing no religion. I’ve even asked if anyone could get a mass offered for him, (prefereably on Divine Mercy Sunday). I know God will help him and you. Don’t ever lose hope. Sometimes we don’t recognise God’s help, but He’s helping us all the same. When other people help you, He is working through them, and if you feel alone, your loneliness can bring you closer to Him. He heals us in little stages. Hope!
