Do You Have a Prayer Request?

I just feel led to ask those of you who have a prayer request if you feel comfortable sending me the need that you have because I feel led to pray for you. I just feel in my heart that God led me to this website not only to earn a little bit of extra spending money but to make friends and to help others if I can. In my Sunday School class we have a prayer list that we add names to every Sunday morning. If you have a need that you want me to add to our list please let me know. You can post it here at MyLot or if you would prefer you can e-mail me at my regular e-mail address which is stevenmccrary@bellsouth.net. Just give me your prayer need whether it is for a person, job, or anything else that you need prayer for. I believe and know in my heart that God answers prayers because I have seen Him answer too many in my life. I can say from the bottom of my heart that I love all of you here on MyLot with the love of God and if this is a small way that I can help any of you it will be so wonderful. I just want to do what God is leading me to do. God Bless Each of You and I hope to hear from many of you!! Love and Hugs from SheliaLee

Hi shelialee! While you feel that God led you to this website to help others, I feel that God made your topic to appear first in my "today's top discussions" to help me get through this tough times I'm going through. Right now, my dad is in the ICU. He's been there for 3 days now. Although he seems to get better every day, prayers will be of big help. So, that's number one on my prayer request. Number two is that, I still have 2 terms (6months) before graduating from college. I still haven't paid my tuition fee yet and I don't know where we will get the money for it, school starts on May 28 for me and May 23 for my younger brother. My mom is a housewife, my dad has many other women, so that means all of his money are being distributed to every one of us. That makes no extra savings for times like this. Number three, is for me and my mom and my younger brother to get through this. I know we can. With everybody's prayer, I know God will listen to me and I know He is the only one who really understands my situation. Thank you in advance for your prayers shelia! God bless!

Sheila Count me in on being a prayer warrior. I was led to MyLot for a reason, and I know helping and praying for people is what God would want all of us to do. I do a lot of praying. I am on the prayer chain at church too. I like where on some of this discussion you have said a prayer. This way, as we are reading through the discussion, we can repeat the prayer just by reading it.

SheilaLee No problem, I fully understand. I have started putting the prayer request in a broke down version on my profile page. So it will be easier for us to keep up with. I have only had a chance to add two so far, but hopefully I will get it caught up and stay up with it. Hope this will be helpful.

First this is very nice of you...to do this for all of us here. I am Christian myself...but do not attend church. I do however believe and pray often. I would ask that you just pray to keep my family safe..and that my writing career takes off. I am really hoping to get more work...because the place I was working for went under. It is difficult..with the bills and rent and my son. My boyfriend works very hard and because I am not well and suffer anxiety/panic things have been hard for me too. I believe in the power of prayer...and hope that everyone in the world will come to some form of peace....

I have added your name dear one. I pray that things will look better even tomorrow for you and your family. I pray that He will calm you and keep you from the panic attacks and anxiety. I know the anxiety is rough because my daughter has this problem and also has panic attacks. I just pray a hedge of protection from Satan around you and that you will be at peace. God Bless You! :):)

Well how sweet of you, Sheila! What a wonderful thing you are doing! God bless you! Please remember my dad in your prayers. He is not saved and he is one miserable person. Also, please pray that God will keep me from the fear of my cancer returning. I caught it early over 3 years ago and there are days that I find myself worrying about it and I know that God does not want me to do that! He did not give us the spirit of fear! Thank you so much for your post! You are a sweetie! God bless!

Sheila, My friend Cathie and I were just talking yesterday about we felt so led here to help people. And, we were thinking it would be so neat to have a prayer request where we could all pray for each other when we needed prayer. Neither of us could come up with a way to word it. You have truly been led to start this. I would very much like to be included as one of your prayer warriors to pray for people.

I agree that prayer changes things and more people need to realize that just saying one short prayer can go a long way. It is also important to believe. If you believe that the prayer will work, God will become master of it and fulfill your needs.

Well, seems like you can read my mind my dear shelialee. I do need one at the moment to calm my anger down. I'm pretty much angry to my brother about something that he said toward me and my husband on their last visit couple of days ago. I know he probably didn't mean it but still it upset me. And this weekend he'll come to visit us again....I just need to let out my anger before I regret and saying things back to him when I see him again.....phew. So....en extra pray for me that everything will be okay will be very appreciate.... Thank you for thinking about other people.....it really touch my heart.......

A lot of times my daughter and I butt heads over things that are so small and then I feel like a wicked mama. I am praying that he will give you peace over this situation and that you will have a wonderful visit this weekend with your brother. God Bless You and Your family!!:):)

My Dear Shelia Lee, I am surprised to hear that you can pray for others. Prayer is not an easy thing, it involves physical as well as mental faculty of a person to communicate with God. This requirement cannot be imbibed by another person. Further prayer gives one a sense of contentment which if done by another person will not be there. Afterall prayer fetches nothing physical; it only gives some mental solace to the person who does it. My request to all is please do not 'outsource' prayer. It is something very personal between you and your belief and have to be dealt with mutually. Thanks.

Sundaran, I will be lifting up your needs also. We are not outsourcing prayer at all. We all have needs and God's purpose for us in this life is to encourage and up lift one another. With our praying for others , we are encouraging you by letting you know we care and we are uplifting you becasue there are times when we feel so down that we cannot pray ourselves, that is when others praying for us are interceding for us. God bless you.

Hello sundaran16, I understand what you are saying but the Bible teaches us to pray for others. We have prayer time at our church on Sunday nights and Wednesday nights so that we can mention specific prayer needs and we have a list that we keep. When you are praying for others dear friend this is not outsourcing, this is to be an encouragement to others. I have had people praying for me during times of trial and I could sense a peace feeling in my spirit those prayers and knowing it was God giving me that peace. God Bless You dear friend. :):)

She and Mama thanks for the prayeers. I've been praying for the world too. You know what I believe in three things : 1. To worry about nothing. 2. To pray about everything. 3. To thank God for everything. 4. And think about the right things. These are few things I learned from a catholic preacher Bo Sanchez who airs his daily preaching at www.preacherinbluejeans.com he is very funny guy and very inspiring. Just like how inspired I am to pray with you too. God bless!

I actually have a few things on my mind that we need prayer for. First, please include my friend Sarah in your prayers. She just lost her mother to cancer about two weeks ago. I pray that she knows that her mother is not hurting any longer and that in these troubled times, she seek God out and form a personal relationship with Him. She does not have that relationship and I know that He would love to have it with her. Second of all, I would ask for prayer for my own family and our finances. We are struggling to make ends meet. We are a one income family and I have been doing whatever I can to help out (here at mylot, callcenter work from home, selling on ebay) and it is still not getting us ahead. We are behind in our bills and we are now faced with selling our car to get rid of the car payment and we are also faced with possibly selling the house and having to get a cheaper house (we don't live in a very nice house but it's nicer then living in the ghetto in a unsafe neighborhood) but we might have to move into something smaller which isn't ideal because we have a son and already this house is getting to small for us. We would be fine but my husband is going into the police academy soon and we are taking a HUGE pay cut. We don't want me to go back to work outside the home because that will mean the baby will go to daycare and we are VERY opposed to that. Please pray that the Lord show mercy on us and that if it is in His will, that our finances get better soon. Thank you and please let me know if there is something I can pray for you all as well.

Oh yes, do I ever need prayer. I don't mean to sound greedy, but I need prayer for many things right now, one main thing is for my walk with God, I want to strengthen it. I NEED to walk closer to God. Also, if you will read my latest discussion post and there you will see another major thing I need prayer for. I need prayer for financial stability, for patients, for physical strength to make it through each day. I would also appreciate prayer for my husband, that God grasp his heart, and that he hungers for God and wants to live the life God has for us. Thanks and God bless you.
