I wonder where everyone is, I hope that means things are going well with everyone. <P> For me please keep praying that my h would be restored in a saving relationship with Jesus. Pray that the Holy Spirit would move in him snf that his eyes would be opened to how much the Lord loves him. Thanks

Lord, we just lift up hw's husband to you and ask that you remove the blinders that are keeping him from seeing your presence in his life, and ask that the Holy Spirit be active in knocking on the door to his heart. In Jesus Name.<P>I also ask for some prayer for me - am having some challenges at work and need a fresh day of God's mercies. Lord, just help me to do a job that brings you glory, and I also ask that you give me favor because I am your child. Also, Lord, I am asking that you open the doors where you would have me walk - in my work life.<P>Also, am praying for more balance in my life and in my husband's life. Bless my son, and I pray that you continue to fill my son's life with your presence. <P>Also, I pray for my neice and my nephew, that you would keep them safe and keep them close to you. In Jesus Name<BR>Amen

Dear God please lift up HW and Trust both are having challenges in their life right now. You know what each needs please bless them. Both have given me such wonderful insight into what faith can do. <P><BR>For me please pray that I regain hope in people. I need a job in the worst way and no one is even giving me a chance. It is like I am cursed and so unloved by all. Please I am affraid. Tony needs help too finding a job. I am trying very hard to be faithful and trusting but I think I am ready to just give up.

I also pray for the right doors to open for me. I have been so lost and confused, wondering which direction to turn. For five months I haven't answered my phone to avoid bill collectors. I have bankruptcy papers to fill out, and I've prayed for a better alternative. Although my prayers to win the lottery have received a "no" (yeah, yeah, I know I should ask for something different), I have been blessed with increased income in the last two months. I offer my praise for the smaller answers to my prayers that represent a "yes". Yet, I cannot hide from my bill collectors forever. The increased income brings me up to the point of covering bare bone expenses instead of running short of even that. I don't know whether to fill out those bankruptcy papers or not. I've been a lousy steward of what I already have, which is what got me into this mess to begin with. I'm trying hard to do better and making some progress. I believe that God will provide for my needs and that God wants his children to be happy. I pray to be worthy of such blessings. <P>I also lift up SueB for our prayers. She has been tremendously helpful to many here, and I pray that she may rise above the struggles placed before her. Thank you hw for faithfully tending the weekly prayer requests. I count this forum as one of my many blessings.

Lord Jesus, I pray for the women on the site and for all the needs that they have stated, as well as for the un-stated needs.....things we can't even put into words right now, but that are heavy on our hearts. <P>Father, You know what we need and You have said that like the birds of the air and the flowers in the field, You will supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory. I ask now that You pour our your abundance on each woman here. Give each one the specific and individual supply of whatever it is they need right now. <P>Help us, Lord, not to worry. I ask that you give us Your wisdom to know how to handle the situations that we face each day....whether it be bill collectors, jobs, a husband who has turned away, balance in our daily lives or just re-newed hope, in the world and in people.<P>Help us to call on You and to turn to You whenever we are feeling stressed or worried and teach us how to lay our burdens at Your feet.<P>Lord, I ask that you help me with my depression. Thanks for supplying medicine and a counselor who have helped me; but Lord, You are the great counselor and it's only in You that I see any hope. I ask that you show me how You see me....help me to believe that I'm lovable or even worthy of love. It's so hard to believe right now...I just feel so unworthy, used, ugly and old. I just ask that You help me to not go by my feelings, but help me to go by how You see me and to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that You ove me. Thank you, Father. <P>And I ask the same for all these women. Show us our value according to Your standards; teach us how to be beautiful women according to Your standards. Help us to be beacons of light to a dying world.....hard to imagine now when we still feel such pain at times. But nothing is impossible with You. Take our hearts, our souls, our minds and our bodies and mold them into vessels ready to pour out your grace and mercy. <P>And finally, Lord, I ask that you be with my H...even in his rebellion, Lord. Reach out to him and offer him Your hand of salvation. Rescue him off of that craggy cliff where he has fallen, for you are the Good Shepherd. Show him how much You love him and want to heal him.<P>Thanks for all you've give us already and done for each of us as we've suffered over the past months and years. I love you, Lord.<P>Aloha,<BR>Mrs.O<P>

I decided I would just pray right on this thread, since so many others have offered their prayers here.<P>Lord, I come before you unworthy of Your love, but loved greatly. I have been faithless, but You have been faithful. I give up so easily, but You never let go. I withdraw and You come after me. Lord in so many ways You are there for us when we can't be there even for ourselves. <BR>Lord how great, and wide, and deep is Your love and understanding for us. You accept us where we are and gently move us to where You want us to be. You are so masterful at this that we even believe that we are making the choice!<P>Lord You are the Great provider and healer. So many cry out for their needs, Lord. Some of us have been poor stewarts with what You have given us. Lord You are faithful to break this down in us. You let us squirm, but You never let us despair. Lord, work in us to become better stewarts of all the resources You give us.<P> Lord You are the creator and therefore it is nothing for You to heal us of so many wounds both physical and emotional. Thank You Lord for this. Let us turn to You for all things and wait for Your answers.<P>Lord, many of us need to learn how to balance our lives. Make sure that we are engaging in reading Your word and praying for others first. Then working but not forgetting those that You have put in our lives to nurture and love. Lord help us not to be selfish but give from the heart as You give to us.<P>Lord some need jobs. Provide those for us. Lord You know exactly the right job for each of us at the time. Reveal to those in need the jobs that You have for them. Lord let us turn over all our resources, in us and trust You to bring those into producyivity. Lord let us also remember to serve You in our churches and community.<P>Lord increase our trust, hope and faith in You. Put such a longing in our hearts for You, Lord. Let us thirst for the refreshment of Your word. Let us thrive in reading Your word. Let us bend the knee and pray for others, and praise the worthiness of our Lord and His great love and amazing grace, forgiveness and mercy. <P>Lord put a wall of fire around our spouses, children and families. Lord protect them from the whispers of theenemy. Lord ley Your Holy Spirit pentetrate the hearts of our husbands and children and love them to hear and see Your love for them and Your value of them to You. Lord open their eyes and hearts. Bring ministering angels, Nathans, mentors and Godly Christian men into fellowship and relationship with them. Let them see Jesus in them and us as wives. Restore and bring our husbands into relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ this day. Do not let those that are influencing them any longer be seen as their saviors or be deceived and seduced. Let them turn their eyes toward You Lord. Lord nag at them and please don't let up on them until they are ready to see Your love and their worth in You. Lord, Jesus go after them and bring them back to You.<P>Lord, I remember aw, sueb, karenna, mrs. o, lonesome, pahakissa1, tnt and all tho other women. Lord thank you for their fellowship. Thank you for their faithfulness in seeking You. Lord thank You for their faithfulness in encouraging each other. Lord bestow extra blessings on them this week. Lord let them see and feel Your presence powerfully in their lives. <P>Father how blessed we are to have the priviledge of knowing You. That You loved us so much that You sent Your Son not in comdemnation but in forgiveness. Lord Your mercy and grace are gifts I can begin to fathom. Lord You are the only one that I know who would die for me. I praise Your Holy Name over all the earth. I will sing Your praises all through the day. I will tell of Your glorious deeds and Your glorious answers to prayer. I will hope all things, have faith in all things, thirst for all things of You, and serve You because You loved us with a never ending perfect love.<P>Lord, reveal to each of us something new about Your character. Build our faith in You and let us not worship prayer, or praise the the God who answers prayer and deserves our praises. In Jesus name, Amen.

Father, as I visit this forum tonight I ask for a special visitation of Your Spirit to all who have come and all who have been apart in the past of this prayer time. Your way of moving in our lives and in those we love is through the bended knee. You chose to use us Your servants as instruments of righteousness. You have become a little lower then the angels through your Son Jesus and seek to minister in our lives through the incense of prayer.<BR>Lord, I pray for hw who has been so faithful over the months to carry on this ministry of prayer. I ask that you would move in her life and give her Your power and peace. Sustain her and give her the ability to endure and continue in faithfulness. Move on her h's heart and reveal in a mighty way just how much You love him. Cause him to see his need for You in His life. Continue to hem him in behind and before that he may not run or hide from Your presence.<BR>Then Lord I pray for those who are waiting for Your Spirit to restore........bring back together those who find their marriages estranged. Bring a miracle of healing to those who have been torn apart by the wiles of the devil.<BR>Father I bring by name those who seek Your face and ask for You to move in their lives according to Your perfect will, Rootbeer, SueB, Lor, Lizzie, TNT,Mrs.O, Brown, so many who have sought your strength through this forum. You know their needs Lord and we seek Your hand of deliverance.<BR>In Jesus Name We Ask It.

Amen. Lest we forget, lest we forget.....

Please pray for my me, my husband, and three children. My husband and I are having a difficult time over another woman (a mutual "friend.") To make a long story short my husband is developing an inappropriate relationship/friendship (EA, I guess) with a neighbor - another mommy like myself. It is causing me great stress and it trickles down to our 3 children. Today is the first day of Lent and I am doing A LOT of introspection and trying to change things in myself that may be causing my H unhappiness. He, however, is not without fault. Please pray that my husband sees how serious this problem is and how important it is to work on our marriage and put me and the children first. <P>Thank you and God bless.

My marriage is at risk because my husband and I do not share a deep belief in God and his power over our lives. My husband does not have a personal relationship with the Lord and his difficult childhood and heavy heart are having a painful impact on me and on my daughter. There is such a wall around his heart that he cannot share, and may not even know, his deepest feelings. But they are expressed in anger, impatience, and sarcasm. I feel like I am constantly in the middle of him and my daughter. My emotional needs are not met by him and I am scared of the impact he has on my daughter. We need a miracle in our family so it will survive and grow. Please pray for us.<BR>Carrie<BR>

God, Thank you for this first ever online prayer meeting where we can uphold one another and our spouses and children.<P>Help us to deal with our wounds and to receive Your mercy. Grant us wisdom to realize our sin is thrown in Your sea of forgetfulness but our consequences remain. We ask Your grace to cover the consequences.<P>As a WS, I pray for other like me who feel shame and regret and impatience at the long journey to restoration of marriage. I thank You for grace and forgiveness from my H who has reflected Your love to me so wonderfully.<BR>Help me overcome my selfishness and becoming selfless, seeking more of you, less of me and giving more to others.<P>For BS's, we ask Your unfailing love and strength to uphold them. <P>Thank You, God for the gift of Hope found in Your Name..found in our living relationship with You, Jesus. May this Lenten season be a time of reflection, restoration and redemption...a time of wondrous miracles where You heal our relationships and send us forth to encourage others.<P>I love you, My Saviour. Thank you for giving me courage to face each day and a loving family and friends to support us emotionally.<P>I ask for grace as we wait to hear if and when and where we will be transferred to and ask that our children can accept it and adjust with Your help.<P><P>------------------<BR>Fresh Start

Hello everyone. I really need your prayers. I am really going through a great struggle with getting my life back on track to live as Jesus wants me to be. I am having problems with husband and 18yr son, whom I feel as if I have let down over the past years. After being raised in a strict christian environment and being an active member in my church until the age of around 25. (i'm 39 now). I just rebelled from christ and lived the sinfull (only thought of myself and having fun. The holy sprit has been working on me for the last five months and the devil is working against me. My son has moved out. He has been in trouble a couple of times as a juvenille and I have always bailed him out. Now at 18 he is considered an adult. I am afraid that he is with the wrong crowd and doing drugs maybe stealing. I am praying for him and for me and my husbands souls. I know that I have let my son down by not having him involved in church, introducing him to Jesus Christ and by not providing him the most important part of childhood by not setting an example of living a christian life as Jesus wants us to do. I just pray for forgiveness and ask for the strenght to change my life and to live as Jesus wants me to be. Not to be ashamed of my faith but to be a witness to everyone. Lord, please help me. I need all of your prayers for my entire family. I know Jesus is working with me right now. I just need some help. I also need some friends to talk with. Thanks for listening to me.

Heavenly Father,<BR>Let us lift up your name in praise and worship for the never ending love and care that you so eagerly give to us. What a gift you give to us through the Holy Spirit that we may be moved to a closer relationship with you. How wonderful you are Father that you seek us out and draw us into your loving arms despite our constant rebellion of your ways and our sins of the flesh. Your grace and mercy is always present yet never deserved. Thank you for the gift of your love.<P>Father, what a blessing you bring to us through this forum. A place of rest and hope and care that is shared among your believers that is a true oasis in a desert of worldly despair. Those that come here seek you out Father and I know that you are faithful to hear the cries of your children and that your love for each one is unmatched and unimaginable. God, comfort those that come here and seek your face. Teach us your ways. Fill us with your wisdom. Reach down within our very soul and wash away those things that prevent us from fulfilling your perfect will for our lives. Live in our hearts Father. Speak to our hearts through your Holy Spirit that we may feel the blessings of your guidance and truth in our journey. Fill us with the joy of knowing that the trials and suffering that we endure be not in vain. That it is the fire of refinement that we may be more like your son. That it is at the most desperate times in our lives that we are to cherish, for those are the times when we learn to seek only you for fulfillment. That we are drawn closer to you through our circumstances. That your perfect work is completed in us when we suffer those all encompassing battles of this world. <P>Please plant this truth in us all Father. The truth that even though we may feel as though we can bear no more pain and hurt in our circumstances, that through this pain is the path to the very heart of God. That we feel no pain that you cant heal. That we feel no pain that you don't understand and have compassion for and can relate to. That our pain delivers to us the revelation that it is only almighty God in heaven in whom we can depend on to meet our every need. That when we seek him first that all other things will be added to us. <P>Father each of these people here have pain and hurt and confusion invading there very existence and spirit at this time in there lives. Open the eyes of all to the great victory that they will behold. Not necessarily a victory in there circumstances, not a victory of relief, not a victory of remedy or cure. But a victory of a closer relationship with you. If it be your will that each and everyone of our circumstances were to continue on indefinitely, that nothing about our circumstances were to change, then we still have the victory of being reconciled unto the almighty creator of the universe and our Father.<P>I know that it is your will and desire to pour out blessings amongst us so richly that we cannot even understand how to accept them all. And I pray Father that we would experience the victory of a Godly relationship with those you have joined us with. That we would experience the victory of love and care with and from our spouses. That we would have a victory in our work life and in our homes. I pray this for each here and I know that your will is likewise and that you can work a change in our hearts and minds that would facilitate such blessing among us and through us. But Lord, teach us to recognize the blessing of the circumstance that we find ourselves faced with today. That we may count it all joy to be blessed with the opportunity to be more like you and to learn your ways and seek your truths. I know that you are faithful to love us in ways that we can never understand with our minds, but only through faith do we wait patiently on your will to be made perfect in us. Heal our hearts with your grace and love Father. Cradle us in your arms as a loving Father cradles his baby. Rocking us gently to comfort our bodies. Speaking to us with a whisper to comfort our soul. Loving us. Caring for us. Just being the wonderful loving Father that you are God. Our wonderful Heavenly Father. <P>Let us take that love and share it with those around us. Let us be a beacon by which your light and presence can shine brightly and boldly to them. Where light shines no darkness can enter in. Light always prevails in a darkened world. If even one speck of light enters into a dark place then it can not be denied. It is real and overpowering and pervasive. Let us be that light. Let us shine forth to our spouses, our friends, our coworkers and all who know us. Let us take this great opportunity and seek to bring glory to our loving Father through endurance and longsuffering and patience in times of difficult circumstance. Let us grow full and fulfilled with the fruits of the Holy Spirit welling up within us. Give us peace and joy and happiness. Endurance and patience. Compassion and understanding. And most of all fill us with Love. Love for others, love for you and love for ourselves as children of the almighty living God.<P>I Love You Father.<BR>Bless each of us that your will is done in our lives.<BR>In the name of our redeemer and your son Jesus, Amen.

Amen, Sad Wings, beautiful prayer. Thank you.

Please pray for me and H's salvation.<P> Beth

Hello alone1<P>Don't give up hope. I will mention your husband in my prayers. Even if I don't know his name, God knows just who I will be praying for.<P>I know how alone you feel, because my husband is unsaved as well. No matter how good your life is with him or your family, as long as you don't share the same faith, it will be something that stands between you two. <P>Keep praying diligently for him. Don't forget the Bible says that "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much". If necessary, do fasting and prayer as led by God. I am seeking God's face to know just how long and when I should fast. This is serious business. Don't let the devil win this one.<P>I'm praying for you.<BR><P>------------------<BR>CPL

My prayer is for healing and transformation in my marriage... my husband is anger/hostile all the time and I'm doing my best with plan A. He said to me that maybe we should just get the divorce now instead of waiting until we're settled... I'm so tired of having any hope anymore. We have three children and I pray that God would intervene in our relationship in a supernatural way... Going through this process has enriched my relationship with Him unbelievably... but when it comes to being "real" in my relationship with my husband, my husband's choice is hard-heartedness, bitterness and anger... it's been like this now for three months and we're in the mess of his (our) own doing. Lord, please order our steps... He claims to be a believer so please, soften his heart and teach me Lord to be the woman, wife and mother you've called me to be and want for my husband and children... I'm begging you!<P>Thank you to those of you who would be willing to remember us in prayer - the faithful and fervant prayers of the righteous availeth much - so says James in his letter.<P>Thanks.<P>------------------<BR>Doing what you like is freedom... Liking what you do is happiness

Hello everyone<P>Please include my name in your prayers. My husband and I have begun again. I have to learn to trust him again. He is unsaved - please pray for his salvation.<P>Lord, I want to lift up all the faithful women who have unsaved husbands and are visiting this site looking for relief and advice. Lord, thank you for placing this site here and giving us the opportunity to read through it. Some of us have found companionship in our despair through it, Lord, and I pray for the creators of it that you would bless their finances and their resources, that they would continue to glorify you in this way, but giving an outlet to others who are in need of this sort.<P>Lord, continue to watch over them and their families and those of us who log on each day. Give us strength to raise our families in the right way, and to stay close to you throughout any ordeal that we may be going through at this time. Father God, I just want to thank you and praise your Holy name above all names. You have been so good to us that we cannot find the words sometimes to express how we truly feel. Surely your Word says it all, and we are thankful that " the Spirit helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us through groanings which cannot be uttered..." Rom. 8:26.<P>Father, thank you for your strength, your wisdom and your love, and bless each one here today.<P>In Jesus' name and for his sake we ask this with thanksgiving.<P>AMEN<P>------------------<BR>CPL

Lord,<BR>Please bless my family and keep it healthy. Please help me to understand my husband better so that I don't hurt his feelings as much as I do now. Please watch over my brothers and sisters at this site, and help them to heal their marriages.<BR>Thank you,<BR>Harlequin99
