My brother is having heart surgery Nov. 3rd.
We are praising God that he was accepted at Cleveland Hospital.
He can now cancel his open heart surgery, in Indianapolis. And now is having the less invasive repair. He is young, only 37.
But, it is still heart surgery.
My mom isn’t doing too well with this, particularly since we lost my dad this past Christmas after real of heart complications.
Pray that the surgery goes well; his recovery is quick with no complications and for my mom.
Praying for you Los.
Thanks!
Pray for the people that we come in contact with in London, that their hearts would be open to truth. Pray Luke 5 over us. We are praying for the deeper water and breaking nets.
So I’ve been a fulltime youth pastor for 4 years and 3 months. I’m feeling a huge change coming for my wife, child, and I. I feel like I’m supposed to pursue worship ministry more than youth ministry. I’m scared. Don’t know what to do. Don’t know where to look. I’m just praying & recording my demo. But other than that, I just don’t know. Please pray for me too. Thanks.
Our son Jonah just turned 9 months old yesterday (the 1st). He is living in an orphanage in Liberia, West Africa. Pray that his adoption will be complete soon and we can bring him home. Also that we will be able to come up with all of the money needed for travel. Thank you.
Please pray that Micah and I will thrive in our current jobs, even though it has been hard lately. Help us to keep the focus on reaching the lost in our city.
Please pray that I would know where I’m being called to serve in my new church and how to gently approach the conversation(s) related to leadership and ministry–also, pray that I would be open to change and yet content with my job, school, etc. situations. Thanks so much!!
I am in the Domincan Republic and where I am located there are really no churches, well one, and I have been attending but I am not Catholic. I just joined a Bible study in the apartment complex and I am already teaching and leading worship for the next two weeks. I know God is moving and I see the needs and places to serve. Just pray that I can see what God wants me to do, where, and when. I know I am suppose to be here to do more than teach English to high school students.
I will be having surgery on October 22. I’m quite anxious about this since I haven’t been under general anesthesia before. Prayers for peace and for the surgery to be sucessful would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well my doctor just made me take 3 weeks off from work. It could cost me my job but that’s up to my boss, and the docs. I need favor, and if I do lose this job, I’ll need another… so if you could just keep that in your prayers. Job market here isn’t good. I’m taking this 3 weeks as a spiritual vacation. Other than Physical Therapy, I”m spending more time with God and my guitar…
Please pray for this girl in my youth group that just found out that she has a brain tumor. She is in 9th Grade in Minnesota. We still dont know if it is cancerous or not- please pray for her and her family through this scray time. Thank you
I am having an affair and contemplating leaving my husband. Not for my lover (who is also married), just because I think we would both be happier if we weren’t together.
pray for faith, that I would trust Christ in the hard times. also for a class I am taking with my husband at a community college, that I would be a better example of Christ. I am in 21 units at college this semester, and there are many various aspects such as deadlines for may graduation and my husband possibly going to iraq in january. thank you so much Carlos. – Megan
These prayers are deep from within, concerned with fear that gets hold of me.
Please pray that my adult daughter will accept Jesus deep in her heart.
Her father committed suicide due in part to alcohol addiction.
I found evidence… she may be using drugs.
Please pray hard that her future not follow the path of addiction.
Keep her safe O Lord.
That I make it through the background process for the 911 dispatch position I applied for last year in July. I just had my interview today. I have a polygraph on Thursday and a medical exam still to come. My investigator will be sending out letters to friends. famly and former employers soon. The job would be tremendously helpful in terms of my ability to provide well for my four kids as I am a single mom.
Also for my kids as they continue to greive the death of their cousin, and grandfather on the heels of a tough year including the divorce of their dad and I. They are incredibly resilient but still they struggle.
Thanks for asking. I’m pretty new to your site, but I like your authenticity and the exposure of yourself. I hope and pray you’re able to do it as much in “real” life as you’re able to online. I know that can be tough for me at times, maybe it is for you.
Anyway, though, I could use prayer in that I’m getting married in January and my fiance’s brothers are being very antagonistic about the situation because of my baggage/struggles. Pray for wisdom for us to know how to listen and to talk to them and not to have to cut ties. Peace.
I hope the tech fast was everything it needed to be.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. He just finished treatments a few months ago and we’re getting the results from his follow up biopsy on Wednesday, the 8th.
Please pray everything falls in place…and I found our today our pastor’s kids were up all night throwing up. Pray the rest of us all stay healthy…as well as the Pastor!
that i would find a job… i feel like i’ve been searching for over a year now and everytime i find something, i don’t get hired…
its definitely getting frustrating…
Pray for my freshly new relationship.
She’s an amazing woman.
Pray that our foundation will be made quick and early in our relationship in Christ, and that every day we can build upon that.
Restoration of my marriage. Specifics: for God to continue to reveal to me what it means to be a godly wife, strength to continue to fight for my marriage and care for my kids, against a spirit of fear and confusion in my husband, for me to understand what it means to die to myself daily and love my husband with no strings attached. For my husband to return home.
I feel like I am begining to burn out of ministry, have been spending time on porn websites and am just feeling like the worst person in the world sometimes…I need help and prayer
Pray for my son, Justin. He’s 19 and a sophomore in college, dealing with an alcoholic father and really hasn’t found a sense of self. Pray that he finds Jesus, that Jesus “worms” his way into Justin’s heart. He has a job opportunity on Monday so please pray that he gives his best and shows how much responsibility he can handle. Bless you, Carlos Whitaker.
my husband needs to find a job. it is killing us, and we are going deeper and deeper in debt. He is home all day, every day, and the whole “out of work” thing is a secret from everyone.
My church (Oak Leaf Church) just kicked off our new student ministry (without a student pastor) and I, as the only student ministry intern, am in charge of the logistics. Please pray that everything plays out the way God wants it to…And pray that God places me where I need to be this coming summer…bro, you are the man and bless me so much! Thanks!!!!!
that our house will sell. our mortgage went up $800 6 mo’s ago, now it’s going up another $700. do the math… that’s $1,500 in 6 mo’s… totally insane!!!
oh, and i need to get a job until it sells to pay the difference. i homeschool my high schooler, and have to drive my college freshman to community college (unable to drive due to health reasons).
Struggling to figure out what God wants in my life and some big fears and indecisions about things Praying for you man, I think that we all struggle with technology and what you are doing is a statement for us all.
First, know that I prayed for your time away from the noise. It’s evident you love your God, your family and your job. In answering the question “What does it mean to love God?” our pastor said “It is the complete surrender of the focus of our affection to God alone.” That hit me big. Not to God first, the most, the loudest….but the surrender of our focus of our affection to Him – alone. Hard to take focus off our family and the world around us. May He meet you in a new way on your retreat.
My prayer request is for my son to discover and embrace what God desires to impart to him.
For Carmen. Wouldn’t it be amazing if God healed her and she was able to talk and walk and play with her sister? If He chooses not to heal her, that she will be comfortable. And that I will be able to turn the reigns over to God and accept His will. And if God decides that Lauren will be our only child that I can accept that. And if it is His will that we adopt again that He will lead and direct and provide!
Pray for a child for our family.
Infertility and longing for a child sucks.
We were blessed beyond measure with our five year old son who was adopted , but our hearts yearn for another child, for him to have a sibling. We would be thrilled with another adoption. (we have done the paperwork and are 2 years into waiting) We would be thrilled with a surprise pregnancy. God moving in either direction would be amazing.
We just baptized 602 at both our campuses for NewSpring Church in SC, please pray for all those and for the ones that will come to Christ from witnessing the awesome display of public declaration. We had tailgating at both campuses proir to the baptisms. Tents, grills, footballs, lots of food and music. Thank you Los for your commitment to the Lord and helping all of us see our way there also.
I am ending a 20 year abusive marriage. I have 5 children. My husband has cut off almost all support and is going to make me fight for my kids. He is a pastor. My chest hurts almost constantly and I battle fear all day.
RAIN IT DOWN
Big test tomorrow….so on Sunday you can pray that I not worry about the grade too much.
I need a job!! I was laid off in April and nothing has worked out since!
Please pray for the new church we are starting here in Spring Hill, TN. Our 2nd service is this Sunday (5th) and we want God’s presence all over it.
Thanks bro…means alot!
M
I need my house to sell so that I can relocate for a new job.
A couple things:
**My heart to remain open to God’s Word, and to be encouraged and taught more about leading musical worship.
**A future accountability relationship with my bro-in-Christ. For us to be led and remain obedient and open w/ GOD and one another.
**To be a capable leader for my youth ministry and drama ministry. Be encouraged and loved by my followers.
Thanks Los….somehow I sense (I know….we’ve never met before!) this is a GOD idea and you’ll be AWESOMELY blessed by this weekend away. =)

For direction in relationships. For doors to be clearly opened or closed.

For the courage to obey, even and especially when God won’t reveal the whole plan.
(I’d rather God just reveal the whole plan. You can ask Him for that, too, but I doubt He’ll agree to it.)
Also, financial pressures.
For the “new job” that I feel the Lord is leading me – that I would be sensitive to His leadings .. and will follow Him every step of the way.
I am ending a 20 year abusive marriage. I have 5 children. My husband has cut off almost all support and is going to make me fight for my kids. He is a pastor. My chest hurts almost constantly and I battle fear all day.
My brother. He tried to kill himself Friday. He’s still in the ICU.
