Prayer Requests

then prove it wrong fuckboy

o-oh no! he said a bad word!

Time is too precious waste on the same garbage over and over.

Imagine being such subhuman trash that you actually take time out of your day to interrupt a christian boards prayer thread.

Hello, brothers
I would very appreciate if you would pray for my family, I'm probably the only christian among us. Mainly for my cousin and his wife, they are expecting a baby in the near future and my cousin insisted on not christening him/her (my grandpa disliked this, although he may believe in (some) god, he's much more of cultural christian than a faithful believer. If I had to guess he does this out of patriotism. He doesn't go to church.)
Also for my aunt who openly blasphemed, calling the teaching of our Saviour "bullshit."

For my classmate who was raised in a devout catholic family but in his pride got too sure of himself. He now smokes and fornicates a lot and sees his salvation as something arbitrary.

And for me. I have been battling with pornography for the past 5 years and very much stalled in the most recent one. Although I am getting back on track I started to realize my other sins, mainly sloth and pride. Please pray for me so Lord can shape into a more devout follower. And that I can find a church to visit soon. I will also be leaving my hometown for a university and although this is a very worldly wish please pray for my success in the entrance exams and my finals in my current school.

Thank you all.

Prayed for you. I hope you manage to overcome your problems, truly you have already achieved much more than I have.

I'm making some of the same self-discoveries. Praying for you.

Please pray for the health of my father.

Done. I don't know if God still hears my prayers, but I sent one up.

Pray for me, dear Zig Forums.

I need strength to endure this crippling/debilitating anxiety. Alcohol is the only thing that helps me but I don't want to drink. I hate alcohol. Please pray for me. Sry my english.

Your English is good, I would not have guessed that you were not a native speaker. Stay strong user, the Lord is with you.

Please pray for my cousin, a young man whose been through some tough times these past few years, and over the past few days has ended up in intensive care with one leg amputated. Also for my colleague who's dad died today. I don't believe either of them have faith but I pray that they may come to find some comfort in the Lord over these trying times for them. Thanks

.
Will pray for everyone in this thread for a undetermined period of time.

I couldn't get through a quarter of your requests without getting teary eyed. For those I witnessed I pray you find peace.

I need strength to see a (pastor/father/etc) and finally get involved in a church. I've read fragments of the Bible and a good friend pointed me down this path but personal weakness holds me back. I need strength to break this cycle of depression and inaction to get saved.

I am reaching the end of my rope. I've not much left in me. I am hardly christian myself, but I know my time is nearly up. I rot from the inside due to choices I have made, and needles in open wounds. There are no more alternatives for me to seek, from religion to other substance. This is the end. This is the cold, dark place I have made for myself.

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

If you are in darkness brother, then you need only walk by faith and not by sight. The Lord will lead you back if you trust him and read the word.

please pray that all the current mod team will go away and be replaced with competent people

My best friend's mom just died in a car accident. Any prayers are appreciated.

goodness, what an awful tragedy. i pray the lord strengthen your friend and his family, and that he welcome with open arms your friend's mother into heaven (bless her soul). they will be in my prayers.

I have never felt any sort of spirit or presence in my life and I don't see the point of all this anymore. In a moment of despair and desperation several years ago and having nowhere else to turn to, I sincerely accepted Christ. I confessed as many sins as I could think of and begged for forgiveness and for Him to come into my life. In fact I have done this many times over the years thinking that maybe I just didn't do it right or I wasn't humble or thankful or honest enough or that I said the wrong words, but nothing ever changed no matter what I did or said.
I was raised atheist and I'm really afraid that the little euphoric fedora tipper that I used to be was right all along in thinking that prayers are answered only by the thin air. Please help. Thank you.

For my grandpa's soul, he is dying a very painful and slow death. He was aways kind of a mean guy but I love my grandpa and I want him to go be happy with God forever.

my cousin passed this afternoon, please pray for his family, prayers going to all anons and their relatives and friends grieving at this time

I have two requests. I am trying to return to Holy Mother Church, but I am faltering at every step of the way.

I ask that you pray for my boss' son, may God grant their family peace, and watch over them as they assess his heart condition.

I ask that you pray for my grandfather, his hip pain turned out to require a 5 hour invasive surgery, he's awake but still bleeding. He was the one who converted out family to Christianity.

Me and my girlfriend of 5 years broke up this morning. I've been a wreck since then, had to call in sick today. I hurt bad. I did everything right, I did all I could, I made myself into a better person for her, and I even moved 4000mi away from home just so that I can get a good job to support us both and make a life together. Seems that was all just a lie to keep herself from breaking my heart and leaving me because she wasn't happy.

Looking back, I see now all of the warning signs but I made myself blind to them at the time. I loved her more than I ever thought possible and now I hurt more than I've ever been hurt before. I feel crushed, defeated, alone, and extreme sorrow. I wanted to marry her and have children with her but she wanted none of that - I don't know what I did to deserve this. Please pray for me. I don't know what to do. Please God help me. Please.

shit man that sucks, sometimes things happen to us that we don't deserve, postive and negative. I can't comprehend what you're experiencing right now not having been through anything like it myself, and I don't know how useful or easy this will be for you to do, but all I can say is that a lot of us have so much (for most of us on this board food on the table, a roof over our heads, some of the lucky among us a loving family or good group of friends we can go to for support, for all of us the penalty for our sins paid for on the cross) only becaue of Him.. and yet we we don't deserve any of it. Please remember what you have and be thankful for it. Put your faith in God, not in a woman. I will pray for you. God bless.

I send you my prayers and love, my brother. I've been heart broken too many times. The memories still sting me.

I hope you find peace and things get better for you soon. May God protect you as well from anymore maliciousness, including spiritual attacks.

Thank you both. You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind and loving words.

Please pray for my mental health its been a rough few weeks.

Less of a request, but I had trouble with school and was failing a few classes a few weeks back. Around that same time I found a traditional Catholic church and started attending mass; during the Feast of the Immaculate Conception I prayed to God and the Blessed Virgin Mary to help me in getting my act together and being not only a better person, but a better Christian. Worked my ass off and found out I'm going to pass my classes and finally get myself out of the rut.

My prayers were answered. Praise God.

Please pray for my Grandmother who's in the hospital with 6 broken ribs. At least give her comfort.

Brothers and sisters, my closest friend has told me he is a Deist today. Please pray that he may return to the faith. Pray for me as well, as I'll try to help him to return.

That's wonderful to hear!

I will. Stay safe.

She'll be in my prayers tonight friend.

My mother probably has her cancer back, please pray that everything will be okay

My parents are separating. I'm going to try to intervene. Please pray for them, and pray that God would give me the wisdom and words to help somehow.

pray for me

Please pray for to find answers to my misunderstanding and anger to God and women.

please pray for my uncle who is very I'll with pancreatic cancer

My dad just hurt his head pretty badly. The doctors are still checking for neural damage. Please pray that he is alright.

My life is confusing. I reverted in June and I'm overwhelmed by sins of my past. I've been strongly tempted by the Easterners. Please pray that I stay loyal to Rome and find some peace this Christmas season.

I would like to pray for more people to find Zig Forums as the first step in their path to embracing God's love and so that Zig Forums will continue to grow and displace the sodomite communists of Zig Forums.

Also for all denominations of Christians in Lebanon who will likely suffer greatly at the hands of Israel and the jewish Saudi royal family.

Prayer for Comatose Cousin
I'd like to ask any of the anons who read this to pray to God to touch my cousin, and restore the life back to his weak body.
For the past 6 days he's been in a coma, with a machine breathing for him, and EEGs showing no brain activity. When he was discovered he had been without oxygen for 17 minutes, he's had an aneurysm and massive brain swelling.
I don't think there's any mortal action that can be taken. Please pray for him, anons

I want to let you know that despite your post and many other people's posts receiving no replies, it doesn't mean that they're not read and prayer's aren't given. May the Lord watch over your cousin.

That is reassuring.
I actually had a wooden cross necklace my pastor gave me when I was a kid with me at the hospital. I don't wear it every day but I wore it there for obvious reasons.
I took it off an put it in my aunt's hand and told her I wanted her to give it to him when he woke up. She called me up later while we were on the way home crying, and telling me how much it meant to her. She keeps reading the last text he sent her, telling her how beautiful her Christmas tree was.
God bless you, user. Thank you.

My family and I are in a tough spot at the moment. Our house is falling down around us, many things in here don't work; we are poor and cannot afford repairs or to move to another location. I have a college degree (IT), but no one in the field will hire me for one reason or another; if I could get a job there somewhere it would fix a lot of things, but the best that I've been able to manage so far is a retail job that pays me dirt and treats me just about as well.

Please pray that something may be moved so that we may have some improvement in our lives.

Praying fervently for you, brother, because God knows I've been there.

I have been mastubating since I was 10, maybe younger, and I'll be 20 this Friday.
Ten years of this.
Always in a cycle of masturbating, repenting, being forgiven and back to masturbating.
I tried A LOT of things, methods, to stop it, but I never succeeded.

I praise Him for His immeasurable mercy, that would forgive me sometimes twice, even thrice a day, everyday, for over a decade.
It's astounding how He hasn't given up on me, when I have found myself giving up more times than I wish to remember.

Am I broken? Is there hope?

I'm in a similar situation, though I didn't start quite that young.
I think we need something to do to fill that void that we're trying to fill with that.
Matthew 12:43.

Earlier this morning, while a hospital was performing a test, he passed away, and was declared dead. I would like to thank all of you who have taken my cousin into your hearts and minds during his life's winter. We thank you, my family thanks you, God bless you.

Pray for me to get better from the flu or fever I have. I want to get better so that I could at least be able to spend Christmas with my father.

Sorry to bother. Could you guys pray for me? I pretty sure God is calling me to a certain difficult vocation because sudden everything in my life is falling apart terribly. Thanks God bless

Once on Mount Athos there was a monk who lived in Karyes. He drank and got drunk every day and was the cause of scandal to the pilgrims. Eventually he died and this relieved some of the faithful who went on to tell Elder Paisios that they were delighted that this huge problem was finally solved.

Father Paisios answered them that he knew about the death of the monk, after seeing the entire battalion of angels who came to collect his soul. The pilgrims were amazed and some protested and tried to explain to the Elder of whom they were talking about, thinking that the Elder did not understand.

Elder Paisios explained to them: "This particular monk was born in Asia Minor, shortly before the destruction by the Turks when they gathered all the boys. So as not to take him from their parents, they would take him with them to the reaping, and so he wouldn't cry, they just put raki* into his milk in order for him to sleep. Therefore he grew up as an alcoholic. There he found an elder and said to him that he was an alcoholic. The elder told him to do prostrations and prayers every night and beg the Panagia to help him to reduce by one the glasses he drank.

After a year he managed with struggle and repentance to make the 20 glasses he drank into 19 glasses. The struggle continued over the years and he reached 2-3 glasses, with which he would still get drunk."

The world for years saw an alcoholic monk who scandalized the pilgrims, but God saw a fighter who fought a long struggle to reduce his passion.

Without knowing what each one is trying to do what he wants to do, what right do we have to judge his effort?

May the Lord’s will be done

Well. It’s been a merry Christmas eve for me so far. Came back to my mother’s house for the holidays. I’m there for 3 days and I’ve been kicked out. I took my dog with me and am holed up in my Grandmother’s house. I ask everyone to pray for something good to happen to me I guess.

I struggle with apathy. Apathy of life, apathy of God. I was born with aspergers, and have spent the last five or so years of my life riddled with constant depression, bipolar, and anxiety disorders. For the last year of my life I've been on and off suicidal with some days feeling like I sat on the edge of life and death itself. Luckily, I don't consider it anymore, and I'm starting to enjoy my hobbies again but I feel as though I'm still stuck in the same pit. That I'm deeply rooted in this course life's taking me and that ultimately I'll never be able to get out of this rut and live life like a normal human being. I have only few friends, everyone else either superficially knows me or hates me.

Even my friends grow to dislike and eventually disattach from me and who would blame them? I struggle on the daily basis to commit to anything. Especially in building and maintaining relationships. I'm too scared to do anything outside of home and outside of my daily routine. I feel as if time doesn't have meaning anymore and that my life is cursed to end with me dying alone with no one remembering me. After this hopelessness, I've abandoned God.

I tried and failed many times in committing to him, and just like with any other relations I get involved in, I feel as though he hates me for what I've done, for who I became. People say he's forgiving, but why would he forgive a repeat sinner? I feel as though I can't look at him again without feeling great shame for what I did, and the utter powerlessness I feel as I repeat what brings about the shame. I feel I can no longer focus enough to bring myself to God again. I need help, and you people are the only ones left that I can turn to. Thank you.

Just wanted to let you know that I can relate to most of what you wrote. You're not alone, there are many people who feel like this. Keep fighting, it's not like we have anything better to do.

Thank you user, merry Christmas and God bless you!

I guess I'm double-dipping making a request related to one I've already posted before, but it's filling me with anxiety. I probably won't be able to enjoy my Christmas like this, but I can't seem to get myself to calm down.

Please pray that I may be blessed with some peace of mind and endurance.

Same to you, user.

I just want to thank God for restoring my faith this Christmas. I hope to never lose my faith again.
Please pray for me so that I may keep my faith in our Lord.

I ask for prayers for the repentance of my heavily demonized father who has recently shown to not be a complete anti-Christ reprobate after a decade of expressing it and that there is still hope for him.

Please pray that all who criminally harmed my friend in another state wind up in prison soon so she and others may be safe. She also struggles with her mental health. If I may also request for prayers over another issue, I feel at a stuck point in my life and have so many inner and outer restraints as well as hardships keeping me from living a life that I want. I feel I am losing who I am as well where I'm not sure I'm being myself. I am afraid my hardships could tempt me to do the wrong things. I also had trouble in my relation with someone deer to me who very may well be my soulmate acording to many signs and I want her back in my life. We better eachother and helped eachother through hard times but she started shutting everyone around her off and no one really knew why and we stopped communicating due to physical distance and life situations on both out parts. I don't want to let myself down or let her down. I want her to come back into my life for us to heal eachother and maybe be together.

Please pray for my relative who will undergo quadruple bypass surgery.

Praying for all you anons, just so you know.

God Almighty, as we head towards the end of days, please do not forget your people. Give us the strength to endure and conquer. Amen.

Praying for all you anons.

Please pray for my brother.

Three years ago, my mother left my family in infidelity. The situation shook us all- my brother my father, and I.

We all dealt with it in our own way, and in ways that weren't healthy- neither spiritually, nor physically.

I have had my own struggle, and I have sinned horribly in my weakness. But, I'm here to pray for my brother.

He's turned away from God and I'm afraid that we won't turn back. He's gotten into drug dealing and abuse. He claims to only care about money, and has voiced his disillusionment with faith many times. I'm too afraid to say anything to him, for fear that he'll just think I'm chastising him. God knows I have no right to, knowing the things I've done.

Please pray for him, he's my brother and I love him very much. I know that God loves him too, I pray that he'll see that and that it will soften his heart.

Today I felt an existential void so big I felt like crying on the spot…like I was wrapped in a shroud of cold damp blackness which took away all my joy; if I am to die now I’d go to Hell, I kept thinking. I’m afraid to go to confession for I know I’ll sin again, but that “void” made me aware of what awaits me if I don’t repent.
Please pray that I might stop hiding from God.

I've been seeing a girl recently and I'm going to meet her father sometime in January. Good christian family, 6 kids, all homeschooled, etc. Dad really has it together and despises the trend of effeminate, directionless, porn-addicted modern men just as much as I do. Because of that, he's very unenthusiastic about men who are interested in his daughters. And he doesn't know me yet, so he may expecting to dislike me quite a bit. I would appreciate prayers that this would go well and that I would get along quickly with the girl's whole family.

Good luck user.

Do know that the Lord is with you, user. Three months ago I was in the same situation you're finding yourself in right now. Also pray for yourself, because God is going to give you a “gift” for your whole life.

Please pray for me so that I can stay out of my own head and please pray for others who don't know their own spirituality.

The relative who underwent surgery emerged alive and is on the road to quick recovery. Thank you all for your prayer.

I will keep you anons in my prayers.

I've recently had my heart opened up to God and Christianity, but I find myself completely overwhelmed. Please pray to give me the strength the overcome my Zig Forums indoctrination, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I just submitted a job application to an open position at the IT department of a local Catholic university. I've been struggling for such a long time; a position like this would be a major turning point for me. Please pray that the Lord can get something good out of this for me.

My grandmother passed away at noon. Just a prayer for her passing please.

I just did something disgusting that I am ashamed of and hate myself for it. Please pray for me to help control my sexual urges. Thank you all

Please pray for my wife brothers. We're both inthe military and she's shipping out to another duty station across the country (CA to DC) today. Apart from a few long weekends we'll be apart from now til November. Please pray for her safety and success at her new base.

I am in alot of pain, My life is bleak, and i don't know if I can trust that anything will ever change.

Please pray for me. I have been very lazy lately, partly due to a mental illness which occasionally gets me into trouble, which makes me feel as if there is no point in moving my life forward. I have also been masturbating daily. Please pray for me to gain the motivation to advance and leave behind had habits.

Our Lord is perfect, and he loves his sheep. God is working on your life, user, but he works with the slightest touch. A scalpel, not an axe. I wi l pray for you.

Can someone please pray for me and my masturbation addiction ?, it got worse with me for the past few months

I need prayer, brethren. I am greatly struggling, as I have asked of the Lord in my prayers.

I need assurance.
I am still in a tumultuous journey in finding my place in the Christian faith. I have been Baptist for most of my life, but recently delved into the journey to Orthodoxy. However, I am getting a small, but pressing feeling that Catholicism is the way to go. This has brought great confusion to me. I don't really have anyone to turn to, either, so there's that too.
I abandoned Baptists and became apostolic at the very least, so please, save it for the meme thread

I need discernment.
With the issue above, I cannot discern whether this is the demons attempting to rip me from the Lord, or if it truly is Him.

I need strength.
I am trapped in the disgusting sin of Self-Abuse better known as Masturbation. It seems like an impassible obstacle. I know that the Lord shall provide and use this for His good, but I fail to see the light at the end of the tunnel

I need patience.
I have great affection for a girl named Grace who is a devout Catholic which is a real shocker for me as I am really trying not to catch feelings for anyone right now but here I am. I have been asking the Lord whether I should pursue her, and I have gotten a resounding "be patient, my son" each time. I don't know what thie could mean, but then again, why would I need to be patient and faithful if I could understand

Lastly, I need faith.
It has been increasingly difficult to live a life called to a more involved relationship with Christ, as the demons set snares among my feet and my son's and vices are ever before me. I have asked for a struggle, and the Lord has been gracious enough to give it to me. I need faith so that I may grow closer to Him in this time of grief of sins and confusion in my relationship with Him

Sorry for the blog post, I just really need to unload all of this, lest the devil use this to further bring me down. May He have mercy on me, a lustful, sinful, and prideful servant.

I shall pray for you anons. May He have mercy on us all!

Praying for you Christanon. Just keep praying and asking for faith, even faith the size of a mustard seed, that everything is in the Lord's hands, that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not consume it. The darkness in you cannot be greater than the light of Christ. The months leading up to my acceptance into the Church were full of temptation and doubt because the devil is afraid and doesn't want you to take this step in your faith. As for masturbation, for me it's been the hardest thing. You just have to remember keep watch over your heart always and stop the initial thoughts before they grow and manifest themselves into something you know you will regret. Ask for the intercessions of St. Mary of Egypt, that has been a great help to me. Keep praying for discernment, hold strong Christanon.

I usually lurk and don't post much, but my father just died this morning. He was mentally and physically ill for a long time, in addition to being an alcoholic. Please pray for his soul.

I need prayers. I feel like my entire existence is spiraling out of control and I don't know what to do.

I'm going through a benzo withdrawal and I suffer from crippling OCD. Any prayer would be welcome.
