I think what we need here, is a thread, just for prayer requests. There are so many here, with all different situations and heavy hearts.
I'll start by saying, "Thankyou, Jesus, for having a place like MB and the Harleys, to bring all these folks together, and to support each other, in such painful and difficult times in their lives. Please be with all these people and their situations as they struggle to find the answers they are looking for. I pray for guidance and direction and the strength to follow thru with Your will, whatever that may be. And to watch over our families, as these situations take place. I also pray for the direction in my own situation, as you never know what the future holds! I pray for peace! In Jesus name...Amen. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Anyone else care to share, or to add a prayer request for your own situation? DON'T be shy! (God knows I'm not!) I think this can be a great source of comfort, if you let it be! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the suggestion Jennifer.
Mother/Father God, I have lost so much in the past few years. I lost my husband to another woman and their child, I lost my health, my financial status, my job. And I blame it all on myself, that I should have known better.
I have tried to remain faithful. I have come a long way in learning that You can make a way when there seems to be no way. I have realized that no matter how much and how hard I think, I don't have all the answers. And it scares me. And it angers me. I feel hopeless, backed in a corner with no where to go. I'm so tired. I just want to come Home, but my sons need me.
I need a job..a source of income. Yet I remain in poor health. All I know is how to help and serve people. That has been my career. I'm tired...worn out..and don't think I have much to give anyone anymore without totally draining myself. Please help me find a job, one that will help stabilize my finances. A job that doesn't totally drain me. A job environment that is mutually supportive and caring.
Help me deal with the fact that services in my field have changed so drastically due to budget cutbacks. These changes often go against how I believe people deserve to be treated. When I speak up on behalf of my clients, I am punished by upper management. I'm not used to being seen as the "bad girl". I will continue to speak up for Your people, but please strengthen me to remain faithful.
If you want me to change careers, please give me the knowledge and courage to do it. It seems so impossible right now.
Please help me make peace with what happened with my exWS and the OW. It has been a few years now, and I still grieve. I struggle with forgiveness because it seems like it makes what they did ok. Everytime something negative happens to me, I blame it on my exWS thinking if he hadn't done what he did, I wouldn't be in the mess I'm in now.
I pray for each person here on MBs. All bring their pain, BSs and WSs. Help bring healing where healing seems impossible, regardless if that healing means hanging on or letting go. Bring special blessings to all the innocent children involved in these situations. Many of us have been in similar situations in our pasts. Help us to forgive ourselves.
Help us to love, and be loved in the ways You have shown us......so be it Father/Mother God.

There is a forum down at the bottom of the lists. Just click here, Prayer Request Forum We used to fast and pray for people here on MB evey Wed. People would submit their prayer requests and tell us about any answers to prayers. The moderators decided that it wasn't worth putting toward the top and they regulated it to the bottom and no one sees it any more. So it doesn't get used like it used to. I do know a few of the faithful still lurk there and pray for any requests they see. So thought you'd like to know. S&C <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, S&C. It helps to know this.
Heartmending, what a touching prayer! I pray that God will touch our lives with his grace and love, and that we can somehow manage to keep the faith!

Lord, I pray for Life2Short's situation. Let her see what Your will is for her, and give her the strength to follow it thru in Your name. Give her the faith she needs, to believe in You, and help her to put this in Your hands, Lord.
I also want to pray for Loni. Lord, help to ease her anxieties, with this most recent event, of her H leaving, again. Let her know what it is You have planned for her. Comfort her, during this very difficult time.
And one more, I'd like to pray for Losttiger & Wanderlost. Lord, they need your hand in their situation. They are both hurting, and unsure about their marriage. Help to shed a little light on them and their children. And help guide WL to the employment where You think he should be. Please help to bring them together in a new form, thru Your grace, Lord! Thankyou...
In Jesus's name I Pray,
Amen. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh, and I'd like to pray for UnMoved. More of a praise. Thankyou for bringing her to the place she is at, right now, in her heart! She has come along way, and with the strength of Your hand, she will continue on the path You have put her on! In Jesus's name...AMEN! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

He recently told me he does not and has never believed in God, he also is fluctuating between wanting to R and wanting to D. I am strong and a new person now, I know I have done all I can right now, but it isnt enough. I have prayed for guidance and confessed my sins and asked Him for forgiveness. I have recieved the guidance I asked for and now love my FWH, but FWH is unsure of anything right now. It hurts me, but he says he is being honest with me. I am also praying for monica on MB, she needs so much guidance to begin dealing and healing without the influence of alcohol. JE

Ok, Justempty and Justpeachy, I'll put these words in for you.
Lord, I would just like to pray for Justempty and her husband. Lord, he is saying he doesn't believe in You. If ever there was a time, Jesus, it's now, to turn the light on inside his soul. Help him to open his eyes and his heart to you, Lord, to see Your will in front of him, and to feel Your Holy Spirit. Be PRESENT in their lives, Jesus, and walk beside them and show them the way, Your way, Lord. Give JE the hope and strength she needs to endure this situation. Only You know what is in store. Thankyou.
And Lord, I pray for Justpeachy, and her job situation. You know better than anyone, the pains of life, as you died on the cross to save us from sin. So I ask that you be with JP, as she finds out Your will in this decision of this job. If this job was not meant for her, then please open the door to the right one, for her. Please help her to get thru this difficult time as being a single parent, and let her know You are there! Thankyou...
I would also like to pray for Monica. Lord, You know her needs more than anyone, so I ask that you pour the blood of Your Holy Grace over her, and lift her up. Help her to face her pain in the way in which You think is best for her. Thankyou, Jesus!! In Your name I pray...Amen <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Ok, I think I'm on a roll <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />...any others?

Lord, Please be with Loni during her appt. on Sunday. And if it's Your will, please bring her H with her. Help him to open his heart and mind, Lord. Awaken his soul, thru You. I ask that in some way, he is touched by You, in Your time, Lord. Also, please touch Loni, and lift her up with Your healing strength. Allow her to feel the strength thru You, Lord, for whatever plan you already have for her. Guide and comfort her thru this difficult time. Let her come away from her appt. on Sunday, with the feeling of newness and hope. In Your name I pray...Amen.

Jean36, I second that! I also pray for the children of these situations. Lord, let them be children, Your children, and to be protected from the turmoil that goes along with the heartaches and trials of a broken family. Please, be with them and let them know they are loved. In Christ's name...Amen.

Dear Lord,
I would like to thank you for the many blessing that you have bestowed upon me. I thank you for my 3 beautiful children and I pray that you keep them safe through the night and when I can't be with them.
I would like to pray for all the people who are hurting here on MB and around the world.
I would like you to guide me, I need your help Lord, I need your strength to get me through this.
I need you to help me to do the right things to come out of this with my family intact.
I need you to show me how to trust in you completely, just when I think I've given it all to you, a wise person will point out, that I have not.
You have blessed me with so many things, and for that I give you thanks.
I also pray for peace Lord, peace in my life, and peace in the lives of the other dear people here at MB.
I would also like to thank you for Mortarman, for some reason his words cut through my BS fog and hit me right between the eyes and make me realize, I'm not giving it all to you, I keep trying to control things.
Lord, I pray that you will help me release my entire life to you.
I believe in your son Jesus Christ and I receive him.
This I ask, In your son Jesus Christ's name.
Amen
Always Look For Grace Given, Even in the midst of Grace Denied.

Ok, Lord, I just got some sad news. I pray for my cousin's friend & husband, who just lost their 4 year old child, today. Lord, let him rest in peace now, in Your Holy Kingdom of eternal life. His suffering will now be at rest. Even though his new heart did not survive here on earth, we KNOW he will have a brand new heart in Heaven.
Please be with this couple, as they grieve the loss of their child. Comfort them, and let them know that their child is now safely in Your arms. Thankyou so much, Jesus!
In Christ's name I humbly pray...Amen.

Ok, my daughter had a very rough day. She works in a daycare at a gym, and today, one of the children in there, about 3 years old, had a seizure. It scared her out of her mind and she is blaming herself for not acting fast enough, but she did all the right things, and had the parent contacted, immediately. The mother was there within minutes. But my D is still very shook up by this. And to top it off, she just dropped her cell phone in the catfood dish, and now it's not working right. (She has a history of bad luck with cell phones!)
Anyway, Lord, I'd just like you to touch my daughter, tonight, with Your soothing hand of comfort. Help her to realize she did everything for this child to assure her safety. Release whatever guilt she is feeling about this, and remind her that thru Your grace, everything turned out fine. Give her peace with this, please Lord. I pray for the safety and health of all my kids! Thankyou...In Your name...Amen.
