I am in the middle of crunch time at seminary. i have nearly 50 pages to write before monday. Please pray that God gives me the wisdom and strength to complete this task to his glory
Sweet! You can pray for the Czech Republic, where I work with Athletes in Action. It's a country of nearly 90% "atheists" and we don't see much fruit here! Pray that God would stir. I have so many tight relationships, but things guys can't/won't take that "final" step! I ache that God would raise up worshipers here! Thanks Los!
Please pray that I would gain clarity of God's purpose for my life, that I would happily accept it, and have the courage to be the best at what He's called me to be. Please also pray that God will either provide me with siginificantly more income or show me clearly how/where (by way of unmistakable opened and closed doors, preferably) to cut from my budget. I've done just about all I can but still don't have enough and it sucks.
I am a evangelist / speaker guy :: http://www.erikwillts.com :: and this past year has been really slow for this ministry God has given me. Pray with me that God would give me vision and opportunity for this ministry!
And it's my first year of marriage! LOTS of prayer for that as well!
Grace and peace
Erik
I'm seeking direction for the next step as I finish my job next month. Pray for the right doors to open, and to close. Pray to as I reevaluate my pace of life – feeling the pull towards stillness again.
You can pray that Baltimore, MD would be transformed by strong, healthy churches and that God would give me clear direction as to what I should do to help that come about.
I need a job. I got laid off last week and the prospects I thought I had aren't coming through. Been unemployed for a week and we don't have enough in savings to get us past this month.
Pray for the non-mother's. I know, it sounds strange. There are woman for whom this weekend is heart breaking. They face infertility, failed adoption, miscarriage, loss on so many levels. Many are estranged from their own mothers and sisters because of the battle they find and many humans inability to deal with such intense grief. This weekend is a time to celebrate, but it's also a time of grief. They need all the prayer they can get.
We're new missionaries in Haiti– been here a week and a half…
Pray for our family (esp our three kiddos– Nia, Nico and Josiah) during this awesome and crazy transition…
Pray for our ability to quickly learn Haitian Creole…
Pray for our 12 hour flight home next Thursday. Also, a friend…daughter has scoliosis and is having spinal surgery in a few weeks. She's 11 and her name is Zoe.
I am co-leading a missions trip to the Middle East this summer and we need to raise LOTS of funds! Also, pray that we would be effective in our ministry time there and that we would be safe.
Pray anxiety doesn't take a toll on me as I transition into the next steps God may be leading me…a move, new job, back to my home church. Strength to surrender it all to Him.
Pray for my homeless friend Kyle who is now going back to college and getting a job. It is a big and scary step for him and for us. Pray that God continues to open doors for him to walk through and we will be a catalyst of help for the rest of his journey. Much love Los. Cannot wait to chill in a few when you are in Dallas. Praying for you as well man.
PRay for Faith Christian Center- in Silsbee, Texas- pray that we would become what God wants us to be as a church and in the community.

thanks
Please pray for my friend's 5 month old son Noah–he was shaken by his daycare provider 2 weeks ago and remains in the hospital. You can read about his story at http://www.noahsroad.com.
My wife is a teacher in a district making cuts. Pray tat she could keep her job or get moved to a similar position. Also, just clarity in where God is leading us. I’d like to free up more time to do the things I feel passionate about– music, leadership, evangelism.
pray that i the desires of my heart are aligned with God's will. i've got a passion for technology & ministry and I'm not DOING either. i would love to be in a position to do that.
Please pray for a financial miracle. We started doing Financial Peace and got hit with a huge tax bill and one of our cars broke down. We are sticking to it, but need provision!
thanks Los.
i have to have a difficult conversation with a friend next week which will likely end our friendship. harder still b/c we haven't explicitly wronged each other, we care about each other very much, but i'm a girl, he's a guy… throw in some one-sided feelings, heavy involvement in the same ministries, and a lot of mutual friends, and things could get hairy. that and… my heart just hurts. but i know God cares for me and for this situation, even if it's not the "worst" out there.
In the dreaming stages of launching a church in CFL. Please pray for the community we'll reach out to and prayer, coaching and financial networks. Guidance and wisdom for me and those partnering with us.
Corporately (church), please pray for wisdom as we steward all the teens getting saved and discipled here in Watertown, NY. Also for all the invitations we are receiving in the school systems, to help serve the principals and the staff: creative ideas!
Personally, please pray for my Jenny and the delivery of our 3rd, a baby boy named Judah, coming in just two weeks (or so). I could use prayer for strength and stamina as we're running flat out up here.
Please pray for my summer. I will be separated from the team of girls that I labor with on my college campus, which has caused breaks between groups in the past. Please pray that the Lord works mightily through this time, and that he makes our team even stronger next year because all of us have been abiding in Christ this summer. Thanks, Carlos!
Pray for the group that I meet with for people seeking healing from unwanted same sex attractions. Pray we would understand the Lord's definition for healing, how to walk in grace, and how to let go of shame, and to find support here in Mississippi……(not a great place to struggle with same sex attractions)!
How about jobs for both my wife and I. We've been unemployed for the past 6 months. Also, we're losing our home so we'll need a place to live in about a month. Pray for provision. Through it all, we've experienced God's grace and peace.
Pray for Wisdom, Holiness, Purity, and for the Truth of God's Word to invade my life as never before – Pray for the students He has placed in my care – Pray for the leaders He has given me to shepherd – Pray for the unbelievable wife and daughter He has blessed me with – and for the Church we are a part of – Pray that we can be obedient to the plan He has for our lives – and that through us many others will come to know Him.
My granddaughter will be baptized this weekend. Grandparents, Great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends will all be driving long distances to be there. I ask your prayers for travelling mercies for all and an extra prayer for Ellie on this special day.
The little one we adopted from China a couple years ago is having her last major surgery at the end of the month in Cincinnati (we live east of Cleveland, OH) . Thx bro.
Please pray for my friend Tasha who just found out today that her 10-year-old daughter Sydney's inoperable brain tumor is growing and spreading. The docs at St. Jude's have given her 1 to 2 months to live. On Monday, just before leaving from Northern IL to travel to St. Jude's, Tasha found out that her mom Ann has esophageal cancer. A lot of heartbreaking news to receive in one week… pray for strength and peace for Tasha, her husband Dean, their younger son Carson, and Sydney. http://www.ivestrong.com
i guess I have a request that includes me but is bigger than me. That the church would be an unstoppable force in this world. Whether internationally or nationally, whether a local church is big or small…that the church would be more like Jesus every day and would be known for LOVE
i am raising support to be on staff with a missions organization to work with and minister to their missionary kids. i have been raising support for a little over a year and my goal is to have it done by the end of this year if not sooner. i would appreciate your prayers for me during this time. that people would catch the vision of what i am doing and want to support me monthly. especially pray for me this monday as i go do a presentation at a church and that they would support me. you can read more about it on my website. thanks los
Two things. Daughter, Amanda, age 22, graduating from Baylor in 8 days! Job prospects are tough. Degree in marketing; she loves event planning & organizing things. Me, 51, out of work, recovering addict, pharmacist. Makes peeps not want me! I have almost 2 years clean & a great program of recovery. Relocation not possible. Not rehireable at the 2 places I worked previously. Zero tolerance stuff. Kind of sad, really. I have such a great attitude (except the past couple of weeks) and I love what I do. I have been unemployed since mid-Nov. It sucks.So does unemployment. Thanks, Los. Since your blogatical, I see changes in how you approach life. I appreciate you more now than ever. You are just so real & say things so simply.
As I move into a more involved role in ministry at my church, please pray that I do not lose sight of what is most important…The ministry of my family.
I need a ton of prayer for my family, my relationship with my wife has been strained for so long now and trying to ressurect it is not an easy task. Trying to get God's vision for my life off the ground and it is tough to focus on God's call when you have to get your house in order first and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I feel like I am up against a wall with no where to go. I just want to make progress with our relationship and get us where God wants us and I know the rest of the vision will work itself out per say. I know it is all god's timing and Him working not me but patience is not on my side at the moment…I need strength in faith and courage in Christ..
Please pray God helps me with the spiritual stronghold regarding behavior toward food, body image and feeling peace and hope through the depression it creates. It's been a decade of begging for this and I am so tired and unsure…thank you.
Just to keep my eyes focussed on Him as we go through a few crazybusy weeks…undistracted by noise, being as Christ in all situations. ie: LOTS of wisdom and patience.
My sister Meghan is in the ER with numbness in her legs and arms, tremors and extremely dizzy. We are praying that her original neurologist didn't over look something on her original CT Scan…and if she did that they figure out what is going on with her brain soon
I could use prayer for strength against my favorite sin, peace and contentment for where God has me right now and lastly to be a loving, godly wife and mother. Thanks Los.
My mother-in-law needs a kidney. She has been on the national list for a year and is still waiting. I tried to give her one of mine, but I couldn't because of an infection I had when I was a kid. Pray that God will provide a donor and that she will have renewed strength and health while waiting.
I have a special needs daughter (we had a video on your blog during your blogatical)……For Jesus to continue to strengthen my family through this trial.
husband needs a job….he took a leap of faith by quitting his current dead end job. Please pray God will open doors for him and that he will be able to provide for our family which he so desires to do. thank you Carlos.
Mother's day is going to be very hard for me. We are in the process of adopting from Liberia. We received our son's referral 1 year ago as of next tuesday. There is currently a moratorium in place. We are praying that adoptions open back up soon so we can bring home our son.
I'm 3 days now in the hospital. Some positive progress has been made, but my stay is indefinite and the prognosis is the same. I want to be well and to be able to provide for my family
Thank you for praying, Los. I would love it if you would pray that God bless my husband with wisdom and clear direction. He is a wonderful husband, father and son. And he has been waiting on God's leading about where he should be in ministry. Recently he voluntarily stepped down from his job as a global finance manager (he has been taking seminary classes for years in preparation for ministry–3 classes and he's finished!) so he could save another man's job. He felt that it was time to step out in faith…please pray for God's direction and peace.
I am from Cali (bay area) been in the ATL 8 years my wife and I are members at BC. We went to Cali
for 2 weeks in march at first we both felt called to move to santa cruz. I have kind of done a 180 and want to stay in ATL she want's to head west. I need leadership wisdom direction clarity.
Thank You.
pls pray for jimmy & retia dukes in new orleans. they were run over by an SUV several weeks ago. he's on the mend (many many broken bones) and she recently awoke from a coma & looking at possibly years for full recovery, if full recovery is even possible. he was one of my seminary profs back in the day. thx, bro.
So, about three months ago, I began to feel called to surrender the whole of myself to Christ. I guess we all are, but there was an immediate need for me to surrender my future plans, and all the things I thought I was supposed to do with my life. Then, God told me to wait. I am still waiting. Beyond the summer, I have no real specific plans. I definitely feel like I am standing on a precipice, on the edge of something God has for me. Pray that God would give me both direction and solace, and that I would have understanding of where he has called me to be.
Thanks so much, Carlos! Your willingness to intercede is awesome, and touching. I really appreciate it.
Life's moments are intense these days! Pray that in the rub – the smell will be sweet even if it stinks like rotten eggs. Ministering to the seen/unseen and at times forget who is who. May we only see with His eyes. And may we share His love as if there is no tomorrow. If He can see every spect of me – may I see stained glass windows in others.
Praying for all who have commented thus far, are yet to and won't but will read.
I am raising support to be a missionary with e3 Partners. Please intercede on behalf of God's provision, and that He would prepare the hearts of the people we will work with to bring about salvation, repentance, and restoration.
I was diagnosed with a chronic illness last August and have tired 3 different medications to put me in remission, please pray the one I'm on now works.
Pray that God will restore my marriage from the brokeness of an affair and that people will see how He can make the best of the worst times in our lives.
Our oldest daughter is living with her grandmother because she decided she did not want to follow our rules anymore (she is 17 and getting ready to graduate in 2 weeks). This is causing a strain on our other chidlren as well as our marriage.
I want my hunger and passion for God's word to be so strong in me that I can't go to bed without spending time in it. I want to know Him and be close to Him and by so doing, change the atmosphere in my home, my workplace, and my church. More than anything, I want to stop making everything about me and make everything about Jesus. In short, I need a spiritual heart transplant.
I just started a new ministry position (youth pastor) and I am feeling a little overwhelmed. Please pray that I can be authentic and anointed to connect with the students.
Could also use some prayer for our finances. Youth Pastors don't make much!
Wow. I am overwhelmed at your willingness to pray for us: some people you know and some you don't. I am one you don't know, and I haven't been following your blog for all that long, but I could tell from day one that you are as honest and real as it gets. Thank you.
I am inspired by your blog & twitter to open myself up and become more authentic. That's been a goal of mine lately, but when I got here I could see a community of people more willing to share concern and love than worry about who is in charge of what program/event/committee. I have been surrounded by the believers in my local church who don't seem to even know each other. I can't remember the last time someone came up to me and asked me, "How can I pray for you?"
Please pray for me to find the person God created me to be, and to follow the Holy Spirit's leading in my life to become my most authentic. Pray for my husband and me as we consider what vision God may be calling us to pursue.
Thanks for being willing.
P.S. Give Heather a "Hi" and tell her she's a great wife/mom. I have 3 kids as well, and her blog/tweets just echo my day.
I've been in a season for about 3 yrs. and feel that it is about to end! Finally! A new season. Pray that I have discernment, wisdom, obedience and that I will hear His voice. Thanks!!
please pray for my dad. he is suffering with bi-polar disorder and has been manic for months. he has been put under an involuntary 5150 hold. it is an answer to prayer because it has gotten him off the streets and in a place where he can't harm himself or others. please pray specifically that the doctors and social workers can come to an agreement that he should have an extended hold (14 days) so the family can come together and find a safe, comfortable place for him to live. also, please pray he would find comfort and be healed from the deep wounds in his soul. thank you.
So many things!! Pray I don't get swept into busyness and forget ORANGE and DRIVE, and what I learned there… that i will help focus the church in VISION vs. plans, help create a volunteer revival and help some key people in church ask some hard questions about why we are doing certain things that we probably shouldn't be doing… so scared i will lose the ability to dream. thanks man! how can we pray for you?
My son (whom we're adopting) was born on Wednesday about 5.5 weeks early. He's progressing, but it's stressful. We can't have biological children and after working that journey… the last 36 hours have felt like an eternity. GOD's been good so far! Why stop trusting now? His name is Isaac.
I am one of the many 1st year teachers to get pink-slipped this year.
I finish my master's in education this summer.
Please pray I have a job that will utilize my education.
Scratch that…pray that I will have a way to make a living that is wherever God wants me.
If you could pray for guidance and clarity in vision as I look forward toward what is after this internship as well as focus and the ability to really grasp all that God has for me in this internship.
Pray for my family (and I guess me) who misses me so much during my busy season at work. My work is important to children and I put my heart and soul into our program which my daughter is a part of. But I have been so preoccupied with it lately and have not had time for family time. I am so conflicted and sad. I feel like a bad mother and wife.
Wow… I've read every request posted here thus far and my heart is moved… I feel like I'd be selfish even adding my own list of needs and desires, especially compared to the needs of those that are truly in a place of having to trust the Lord for the seemingly impossible. So as I stand in faith and agreement for every request listed here, I will rejoice in knowing that God has provided for every need, including my own, exceedingly, abundantly, and above all that we could ever think of, dream of, or even imagine. Thank you Los for sharing your life with us, and thank you for extending your faith to connect with us in prayer.
thanks friend for your willingness to intercede on behalf of so many…
my hubby is taking the GRE tomorrow morning (2nd attempt)–pray that he will get the score he needs so that his time will not be consumed by studying for this thing any more and he can spend time with his family again! thanks.
After the Drive Conference this week I am re-convicted that our church so needs to to define its vision. Please pray that (1) God would move in our Pastor's heart to see this and (2) that God would use me however to He wants to make that happen. No holes barred, if I need to get fired because of this so be it, but we have to move ahead for the the Kingdom.
Thanks loswhit!
Please pray for my teenage son and the poor decisions he has been making lately. Well, really in the last year. Please pray for a Christian mentor to come along beside him and guide Him to do God's will. Please pray he can discover God's plan for his life and how to use his talents for God's glory.
Husband needs a job, and we're going through some big transitions. Pray it'll bring us closer together and more dependant on God through all of it and that his will is clear.
Los – how can we pray for you while you pray for us?
This is quite selfish but very real to me. Please pray that my family stays strong as we continue to weather difficult storms and that whatever the outcome, everyone's emotional, spiritual and physical health remains intact.
We are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. We have her pics, she is in our hearts, but we have not been given a court date. It's been almost 6 months waiting to be submitted, much longer than we had anticipated. We just want her home. Please pray that things start moving so that she can be home and safe with us!
The last time you did this… I asked for prayer for my husband and I as we were going to go through bankruptcy (my husband lost his business)… we didn't even have the money to pay for it, and then a check showed up to cover the cost. We are now going through the bankruptcy process and our home is in foreclosure… we don't know how much time we have to stay… but that's the "catch" of God's timing…
We have went through an assessment center for Church Planting… and are ready for the next step but God has not showed us where. We know we must leave our home soon and have no idea where to go… as there is certainly a financial aspect as well (not to mention the size of our family… tee hee…)
Please pray for God's CLEAR DIRECTION and where His desire for us to be is. We know His timing is always perfect even when things look bleak… He called us and He will not leave us. We are willing to go where ever He opens the door…
Thanks Los… praying for you and your family as well…
Amy
I have been very sick and I accidentally took too much nyquil last night. This caused me to over sleep and miss a funeral that I was supposed to take part in. Please pray that those above me would have mercy on me after my huge mistake.
Awesome man I read your blog daily.
I have been a youth/associate pastor for 15 years and have been without a job for over a year and am currently looking for a ministry. Pray God will lead me and make it clear where I am supposed to go
Thank Los, I will be on at 10pm to join in the prayer, yet don't know if I will get the live feed because my internet is slow in the Dominican Republic.
I would love prayer that the professor accepts being my thesis director and my proposal for the thesis. Pray that I can get the thesis project completed and graduate for the Spring with my Masters. I don't want to do the other options because they would take me away from the Dominican Republic.
If you could pray for a friend of mine who is going through tough times and needs clear direction and strength.
Pray for the students that I teach. One that I have been working with the most is an athesist. Pray that she sees God in me and wants that. Pray that I am an example of Christ. I know I have an awesome connection with the students and that is only becuase Christ lives in me. Pray that these students want Christ and accept him.
I Praise God for meeting ALL our Needs. Especially while my Husband (Paul) has been out of work. I also ask that we be given a clear vision for this potential job. Or open a new door. I also ask for calmness in Paul's heart he is very anxious to find work. But he is disabled and can only do a desk job. I know God is and can use his wonderful abilities in I.T. to glorify him in a wonderful new job made just for Paul.
God is like a STAR When the Skies the Darkest God Shines the BRIGHTEST!!
hey los! pray for NewSpring Church and it's staffers especially Andy Blagg at the Greenville,SC campus .He has lost some family in a car accident today.
Also, pray for my husband as he searches for his dream job, we both have a passion for doing God's will. Pray for our patience as we go through that process.
My wife and I both "work" in the church. We have been married for 10 months. 2 weeks after our honeymoon she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and has become increasingly more aggressive throughout the last year. She is only 21 years old. Needless to say it has made our first year of marriage somewhat challenging, but we know that God is bigger. We are in the process (with the insurance company) of getting involved with a treatment in Chicago that has been shown to be very effective for young people with aggressive MS. So…could pray for strength to continue to do the work God has laid before us, and that God would do His thing, whatever that may be? Thanks brother. And take time to pray for yourself and your ministry (on behalf of me) that as you leverage culture for Christ, He would be glorified.
Part of a start-up church that is beginning a brand new student ministry this month. Hoping to change lives in the High Point, NC, among the area youth.
For the life-partner [husband] Christ has for me. In the current state of the nation and regime…and forever Christ has put a deep desire in me to model a Christ-like marriage. He’s also put in me a desire to help kids around the world through adoption and fostering (THANK YOU S. Truett Cathy and others like you!; the desire was put in place well before Angelina Jolie’s LOL True).
For the Mission Project Feeding The 5,000 to come to fruition and be concluded so the next project can begin: http://DoingWellDoingGood.info
My wife is preparing for Gall Bladder Surgery, while trying to finish up the school year. She is a HS English Teacher. Much to grade and finals to give. Her system is down from the infection.
I, on the other hand, could use prayer as I continue speak the truth of Christ into the lives of our students at Agape Christian. God is moving! Students are getting saved each week. We are Baptizing each week. Tough part is that the student ministry is growing quicker than the church… finances and volunteers needed to sustain the growth!
prayer for God's direction in our career and life. I haven't been working for six months. Financially okay, but doors aren't opening. We are also thinking about moving to a place that has a lower cost of living. Pray that the Lord will show us what to do and where to go. We need revelation
Pray that I find a job soon. I am a new father and been unemployed for 4 months now. Our savings is dwindling and I am afraid we will not be able to stay afloat much longer. I feel abandoned by God right now – as if he's drug me out into the middle of the ocean in the middle of a storm and asked me to fend for myself. I am so lost.
For my family- my mom and dad are in the middle of a really nasty divorce, and it's really taking its toll on my 12 year old sister.
And also…the internship I have at my church is in jeopardy…pray that everything will straighten out and be brought into light so I don't get "fired."
Please pray for my dad, Stan. Diagnosed in w/colon cancer following surgery in Sept 08. Just finished chemo a few weeks ago. New biopsy results from repeat colonoscopy shows he needs more surgery. Seeing docs tomorrow and Tuesday for details. Hard to be in NE GA and him in FL.
Last year I quit a full-time job to go back to school to earn my MBA in Health Care Mgmt in hopes of working with senior adults & those in long term care. I am working part time right now, but am not able to get the hours I need to pay the bills. I need to find a full-time job in the health care industry so I can begin to use what I'm learning in my classes.
I feel selfish leaving this request, but I need prayer.
I am getting ready to graduate this saturday (finally) and am finishing up a big paper today and tomorrow. I have been stressing out about this for the last month. It has taken me a year and a half to finish this last class and I am almost there.
I am also in the midst of struggling with my job of teaching at a private school. Wanting to follow the doors that God is leading me through, but I am also wanting to kick through the wall to make new doors. I am struggling to hear the voice of God in a very noisy life that I live. Really confused as to where God is leading me and what he wants to use me for.
Pray for our church. As we desperately seek to reach the 30,000 within five miles of our church that don't know Christ. We lost another member today. By now I know it's par for the course, but it hurts in a major way.
My husband and I have been without work for a year and are looking for a new worship ministry position. We are close to losing our only vehicle. Please pray for wisdom and for provision. We have sold almost all of our “stuff” to pay our bills thus far. We will persevere and know God has it in His hands! Thx
I have to ask a couple of people to step down from ministry this week. I know it's the right thing to do (I have fasted and prayed about this extensively). I want to cry just thinking about it – I am SO not good at this part of my job.
Please pray for my dad to truly know Jesus and be filled with His peace. Also, please pray for my husband, who works in the construction field, to get called back to work (he's been laid off since February). In that, we give God praise because he has provided abundantly for us! Also, please pray that my husband and I would have hearts to know Jesus more and would be filled with passion for something to make a difference in this world for Christ.
Pray for Aleksejs (Aleks)…our 11 year old son we are in the process of adopting from Latvia. Pray that God prepares his heart and ours for what lies ahead of us…we expect God to rock our world beyond our greatest expectations. We will be traveling soon and also need God's provision.
We had to rush my mom out of church today by ambulance,stage 4 colon cancer
I have been discouraged my non- believers as well as believers on waiting for a miracle.
I refuse to give up until i have seen his purpose in her life fulfilled,whatever that might be.
btw my mami's name is Dulce,thks 4 the prayers.
if anyboby has any testimonies on God's healing or advice on how to care for a family member with cancer PLEASE e-mail me.kenia268@hotmail.com
Please pray for God's wisdom as I discern how much contact to allow for my adoptive kids with their birth parents. My son's birthfather and both my daughter's birthparents are looking for contact, apparently clean after years of drug abuse and criminal activity.
Also, on an immediate note, my 6 yo daughter is very sick with a fever, and I pray for comfort and healing for her!
please pray for the missions team from my church who have just returned from Rwanda. That the things they've seen would wreck them for the kingdom, changed by His Spirit and that the would be strengthened and renewed as the step back into their 'ordinary' lives. Several of them have been ill during the trip as well and there have been some issues of strife and frustration that need God's help too.
I want to hear God's voice clearly as I navigate a confusing time of ministry. I want to truly respond in a way that would be glorifying to God, but I am struggling to respond in love, with a good attitude.
I emailed you… difficult situations. So much. I have to serve others first, and I don't know how to mourn properly and trust fully at times… I need Jesus to hold me tight in this… I can do fine when I focus on others, but I want to heal correctly from all of this, handle the legal junk properly, and most of all glorify God in all my actions in this… no matter how it comes out…
Was laid off a month ago. Please pray for God's provision (things are tight) and clarity to know what He would like me to do now. I have good days and bad…need God's encouragement to fight off feelings of depression. Thanks!
Pray for bipolar husband. He’s having first manic episode in two years. Pray for grace, healing, mercy, peace and restoration with myself and our kids as he has not been in the home for four days. Especially pray for the two little ones. They don’t understand what’s going on.
For my family (we just lost an uncle two weeks ago), the Taylor in Ft. Lauderdale and for the McKellar family…and for me. I need a job Oh, and for Chris Tschamler (http://hellheal.blogspot.com/). Praying for folks here.
RAIN IT DOWN
Pray for my friend Jim who just received a bone marrow transplant. Pray that his body accepts it….
Thanks

I am in the middle of crunch time at seminary. i have nearly 50 pages to write before monday. Please pray that God gives me the wisdom and strength to complete this task to his glory
Sweet! You can pray for the Czech Republic, where I work with Athletes in Action. It's a country of nearly 90% "atheists" and we don't see much fruit here! Pray that God would stir. I have so many tight relationships, but things guys can't/won't take that "final" step! I ache that God would raise up worshipers here! Thanks Los!
I'm in my last few weeks of University, I have a major project due next week, then a month of exams, so prayer for that would be great
Please pray that I would gain clarity of God's purpose for my life, that I would happily accept it, and have the courage to be the best at what He's called me to be. Please also pray that God will either provide me with siginificantly more income or show me clearly how/where (by way of unmistakable opened and closed doors, preferably) to cut from my budget. I've done just about all I can but still don't have enough and it sucks.
I am a evangelist / speaker guy :: http://www.erikwillts.com :: and this past year has been really slow for this ministry God has given me. Pray with me that God would give me vision and opportunity for this ministry!
And it's my first year of marriage! LOTS of prayer for that as well!
Grace and peace
Erik
I'm seeking direction for the next step as I finish my job next month. Pray for the right doors to open, and to close. Pray to as I reevaluate my pace of life – feeling the pull towards stillness again.
Wisdom and guidance for a ministry decision I might have to make in the near future.
You can pray that Baltimore, MD would be transformed by strong, healthy churches and that God would give me clear direction as to what I should do to help that come about.
Thanks Los!

Pray for Tampa. God is about to do something really big here.
Pray for the non-mother's. I know, it sounds strange. There are woman for whom this weekend is heart breaking. They face infertility, failed adoption, miscarriage, loss on so many levels. Many are estranged from their own mothers and sisters because of the battle they find and many humans inability to deal with such intense grief. This weekend is a time to celebrate, but it's also a time of grief. They need all the prayer they can get.

Thank you so much!!

Pray that God continues to open doors for him to walk through and we will be a catalyst of help for the rest of his journey. Much love Los. Cannot wait to chill in a few when you are in Dallas. Praying for you as well man.

pray that i the desires of my heart are aligned with God's will. i've got a passion for technology & ministry and I'm not DOING either. i would love to be in a position to do that.
My dad just went to the ER with chest pain. And I log onto twitter to ask folks to pray, and Los’ post says “How can I pray for you?”

Please pray for healing. And understanding.
Healing for a broken church and direction for an even more broken "retired" pastor
Please pray for a financial miracle. We started doing Financial Peace and got hit with a huge tax bill and one of our cars broke down. We are sticking to it, but need provision!
thanks Los.
i have to have a difficult conversation with a friend next week which will likely end our friendship. harder still b/c we haven't explicitly wronged each other, we care about each other very much, but i'm a girl, he's a guy… throw in some one-sided feelings, heavy involvement in the same ministries, and a lot of mutual friends, and things could get hairy. that and… my heart just hurts. but i know God cares for me and for this situation, even if it's not the "worst" out there.
Please pray that God would use me to point people towards HIM! Pray for strength, as I am running low these days…
In the dreaming stages of launching a church in CFL. Please pray for the community we'll reach out to and prayer, coaching and financial networks. Guidance and wisdom for me and those partnering with us.
What a fantasic thing. Thank you…
Corporately (church), please pray for wisdom as we steward all the teens getting saved and discipled here in Watertown, NY. Also for all the invitations we are receiving in the school systems, to help serve the principals and the staff: creative ideas!
Personally, please pray for my Jenny and the delivery of our 3rd, a baby boy named Judah, coming in just two weeks (or so). I could use prayer for strength and stamina as we're running flat out up here.
And you? Anything in particular?
Blessings!
ch:
Please pray for my summer. I will be separated from the team of girls that I labor with on my college campus, which has caused breaks between groups in the past. Please pray that the Lord works mightily through this time, and that he makes our team even stronger next year because all of us have been abiding in Christ this summer. Thanks, Carlos!
Pray for the group that I meet with for people seeking healing from unwanted same sex attractions. Pray we would understand the Lord's definition for healing, how to walk in grace, and how to let go of shame, and to find support here in Mississippi……(not a great place to struggle with same sex attractions)!
How about jobs for both my wife and I. We've been unemployed for the past 6 months. Also, we're losing our home so we'll need a place to live in about a month. Pray for provision. Through it all, we've experienced God's grace and peace.
Thanks Los.
Pray for Wisdom, Holiness, Purity, and for the Truth of God's Word to invade my life as never before – Pray for the students He has placed in my care – Pray for the leaders He has given me to shepherd – Pray for the unbelievable wife and daughter He has blessed me with – and for the Church we are a part of – Pray that we can be obedient to the plan He has for our lives – and that through us many others will come to know Him.
My granddaughter will be baptized this weekend. Grandparents, Great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends will all be driving long distances to be there. I ask your prayers for travelling mercies for all and an extra prayer for Ellie on this special day.

Pray that I God will show me my true vocation. Also pray that I will learn to love ALL of God's children the same and without hesitation.
Los, How can we pray for you?
Please pray for my friend Tasha who just found out today that her 10-year-old daughter Sydney's inoperable brain tumor is growing and spreading. The docs at St. Jude's have given her 1 to 2 months to live. On Monday, just before leaving from Northern IL to travel to St. Jude's, Tasha found out that her mom Ann has esophageal cancer. A lot of heartbreaking news to receive in one week… pray for strength and peace for Tasha, her husband Dean, their younger son Carson, and Sydney. http://www.ivestrong.com
i guess I have a request that includes me but is bigger than me. That the church would be an unstoppable force in this world. Whether internationally or nationally, whether a local church is big or small…that the church would be more like Jesus every day and would be known for LOVE
i am raising support to be on staff with a missions organization to work with and minister to their missionary kids. i have been raising support for a little over a year and my goal is to have it done by the end of this year if not sooner. i would appreciate your prayers for me during this time. that people would catch the vision of what i am doing and want to support me monthly. especially pray for me this monday as i go do a presentation at a church and that they would support me. you can read more about it on my website. thanks los
Two things. Daughter, Amanda, age 22, graduating from Baylor in 8 days! Job prospects are tough. Degree in marketing; she loves event planning & organizing things. Me, 51, out of work, recovering addict, pharmacist. Makes peeps not want me! I have almost 2 years clean & a great program of recovery. Relocation not possible. Not rehireable at the 2 places I worked previously. Zero tolerance stuff. Kind of sad, really. I have such a great attitude (except the past couple of weeks) and I love what I do. I have been unemployed since mid-Nov. It sucks.So does unemployment. Thanks, Los. Since your blogatical, I see changes in how you approach life. I appreciate you more now than ever. You are just so real & say things so simply.
Would love for you to stand in agreement with me for my husband's salvation and the restoration of our marriage.
My brother who is just 3 weeks sober and working the steps of AA… that he'll stay sober and get his life back in order.
As I move into a more involved role in ministry at my church, please pray that I do not lose sight of what is most important…The ministry of my family.
Thanks.
I graduate in 2 days and will be moving to a new state and looking for a job in this economy! Thanks!
pray for a pure and godly relationship between my boyfriend and i, and continued resolution of our issues that hurt the other.
I need a ton of prayer for my family, my relationship with my wife has been strained for so long now and trying to ressurect it is not an easy task. Trying to get God's vision for my life off the ground and it is tough to focus on God's call when you have to get your house in order first and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I feel like I am up against a wall with no where to go. I just want to make progress with our relationship and get us where God wants us and I know the rest of the vision will work itself out per say. I know it is all god's timing and Him working not me but patience is not on my side at the moment…I need strength in faith and courage in Christ..
Thanks Los,
Greg
Считают, что успех приходит к тем, кто рано встает. Нет: у тех приходит и к тем, кто встает в хорошем настроении.
МАРСЕЛЬ АШАР.
Please pray God helps me with the spiritual stronghold regarding behavior toward food, body image and feeling peace and hope through the depression it creates. It's been a decade of begging for this and I am so tired and unsure…thank you.
Just to keep my eyes focussed on Him as we go through a few crazybusy weeks…undistracted by noise, being as Christ in all situations. ie: LOTS of wisdom and patience.
Pray that Marc makes a decision for Christ before he takes his last treatment for liver cancer.
that I would lead well, love fully, and trust completely.
My sister Meghan is in the ER with numbness in her legs and arms, tremors and extremely dizzy. We are praying that her original neurologist didn't over look something on her original CT Scan…and if she did that they figure out what is going on with her brain soon
I graduate next week and need a job
I could use prayer for strength against my favorite sin, peace and contentment for where God has me right now and lastly to be a loving, godly wife and mother. Thanks Los.
PS congrats on the Intergity thingy-it's been an interesting/fun/somewhat strange time following you and Heather.
My mother-in-law needs a kidney. She has been on the national list for a year and is still waiting. I tried to give her one of mine, but I couldn't because of an infection I had when I was a kid. Pray that God will provide a donor and that she will have renewed strength and health while waiting.
Please pray that my wife & I are fortunate to be parents. Thank you.
I have a special needs daughter (we had a video on your blog during your blogatical)……For Jesus to continue to strengthen my family through this trial.
husband needs a job….he took a leap of faith by quitting his current dead end job. Please pray God will open doors for him and that he will be able to provide for our family which he so desires to do. thank you Carlos.
Mother's day is going to be very hard for me. We are in the process of adopting from Liberia. We received our son's referral 1 year ago as of next tuesday. There is currently a moratorium in place. We are praying that adoptions open back up soon so we can bring home our son.
I'm 3 days now in the hospital. Some positive progress has been made, but my stay is indefinite and the prognosis is the same. I want to be well and to be able to provide for my family
Thank you for praying, Los. I would love it if you would pray that God bless my husband with wisdom and clear direction. He is a wonderful husband, father and son. And he has been waiting on God's leading about where he should be in ministry. Recently he voluntarily stepped down from his job as a global finance manager (he has been taking seminary classes for years in preparation for ministry–3 classes and he's finished!) so he could save another man's job. He felt that it was time to step out in faith…please pray for God's direction and peace.
I am from Cali (bay area) been in the ATL 8 years my wife and I are members at BC. We went to Cali
for 2 weeks in march at first we both felt called to move to santa cruz. I have kind of done a 180 and want to stay in ATL she want's to head west. I need leadership wisdom direction clarity.
Thank You.
Please pray for Chris Coleman. He is security for Joyce Meyer and his wife and two children were murdered on Tuesday. http://www.bnd.com/100/story/758147.html
I'm lost in how / where to serve at my church next year. Or do I even need to serve? Take a break?
Please pray for me, where God wants me to go. How can I use my gifts, which ones He like for me to grow more. Thanks Los.
pls pray for jimmy & retia dukes in new orleans. they were run over by an SUV several weeks ago. he's on the mend (many many broken bones) and she recently awoke from a coma & looking at possibly years for full recovery, if full recovery is even possible. he was one of my seminary profs back in the day. thx, bro.
So, about three months ago, I began to feel called to surrender the whole of myself to Christ. I guess we all are, but there was an immediate need for me to surrender my future plans, and all the things I thought I was supposed to do with my life. Then, God told me to wait. I am still waiting. Beyond the summer, I have no real specific plans. I definitely feel like I am standing on a precipice, on the edge of something God has for me. Pray that God would give me both direction and solace, and that I would have understanding of where he has called me to be.
Thanks so much, Carlos! Your willingness to intercede is awesome, and touching. I really appreciate it.
Life's moments are intense these days! Pray that in the rub – the smell will be sweet even if it stinks like rotten eggs. Ministering to the seen/unseen and at times forget who is who. May we only see with His eyes. And may we share His love as if there is no tomorrow. If He can see every spect of me – may I see stained glass windows in others.
Praying for all who have commented thus far, are yet to and won't but will read.
I am raising support to be a missionary with e3 Partners. Please intercede on behalf of God's provision, and that He would prepare the hearts of the people we will work with to bring about salvation, repentance, and restoration.
I was diagnosed with a chronic illness last August and have tired 3 different medications to put me in remission, please pray the one I'm on now works.
We are needing and believing for a financial miracle.
i need a job
Pray that God will restore my marriage from the brokeness of an affair and that people will see how He can make the best of the worst times in our lives.
Our oldest daughter is living with her grandmother because she decided she did not want to follow our rules anymore (she is 17 and getting ready to graduate in 2 weeks). This is causing a strain on our other chidlren as well as our marriage.
First Los, thanks for praying.
I want my hunger and passion for God's word to be so strong in me that I can't go to bed without spending time in it. I want to know Him and be close to Him and by so doing, change the atmosphere in my home, my workplace, and my church. More than anything, I want to stop making everything about me and make everything about Jesus. In short, I need a spiritual heart transplant.
I just started a new ministry position (youth pastor) and I am feeling a little overwhelmed. Please pray that I can be authentic and anointed to connect with the students.
Could also use some prayer for our finances. Youth Pastors don't make much!
Wow. I am overwhelmed at your willingness to pray for us: some people you know and some you don't. I am one you don't know, and I haven't been following your blog for all that long, but I could tell from day one that you are as honest and real as it gets. Thank you.
I am inspired by your blog & twitter to open myself up and become more authentic. That's been a goal of mine lately, but when I got here I could see a community of people more willing to share concern and love than worry about who is in charge of what program/event/committee. I have been surrounded by the believers in my local church who don't seem to even know each other. I can't remember the last time someone came up to me and asked me, "How can I pray for you?"
Please pray for me to find the person God created me to be, and to follow the Holy Spirit's leading in my life to become my most authentic. Pray for my husband and me as we consider what vision God may be calling us to pursue.
Thanks for being willing.
P.S. Give Heather a "Hi" and tell her she's a great wife/mom. I have 3 kids as well, and her blog/tweets just echo my day.
I've been in a season for about 3 yrs. and feel that it is about to end! Finally! A new season. Pray that I have discernment, wisdom, obedience and that I will hear His voice. Thanks!!
father-in-law who was just diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. he's on the older side and praying that his body can handle the treatment
I desperately need to sell my house, cause we are moving, I would greatly appreciate any prayer for that.
please pray for my dad. he is suffering with bi-polar disorder and has been manic for months. he has been put under an involuntary 5150 hold. it is an answer to prayer because it has gotten him off the streets and in a place where he can't harm himself or others. please pray specifically that the doctors and social workers can come to an agreement that he should have an extended hold (14 days) so the family can come together and find a safe, comfortable place for him to live. also, please pray he would find comfort and be healed from the deep wounds in his soul. thank you.
So many things!! Pray I don't get swept into busyness and forget ORANGE and DRIVE, and what I learned there… that i will help focus the church in VISION vs. plans, help create a volunteer revival and help some key people in church ask some hard questions about why we are doing certain things that we probably shouldn't be doing… so scared i will lose the ability to dream. thanks man! how can we pray for you?
My son (whom we're adopting) was born on Wednesday about 5.5 weeks early. He's progressing, but it's stressful. We can't have biological children and after working that journey… the last 36 hours have felt like an eternity. GOD's been good so far! Why stop trusting now? His name is Isaac.
I am one of the many 1st year teachers to get pink-slipped this year.
I finish my master's in education this summer.
Please pray I have a job that will utilize my education.
Scratch that…pray that I will have a way to make a living that is wherever God wants me.
Oh, and I miss you and your fam, Los.
If you could pray for guidance and clarity in vision as I look forward toward what is after this internship as well as focus and the ability to really grasp all that God has for me in this internship.
Pray for my family (and I guess me) who misses me so much during my busy season at work. My work is important to children and I put my heart and soul into our program which my daughter is a part of. But I have been so preoccupied with it lately and have not had time for family time. I am so conflicted and sad. I feel like a bad mother and wife.
Wow… I've read every request posted here thus far and my heart is moved… I feel like I'd be selfish even adding my own list of needs and desires, especially compared to the needs of those that are truly in a place of having to trust the Lord for the seemingly impossible. So as I stand in faith and agreement for every request listed here, I will rejoice in knowing that God has provided for every need, including my own, exceedingly, abundantly, and above all that we could ever think of, dream of, or even imagine. Thank you Los for sharing your life with us, and thank you for extending your faith to connect with us in prayer.
thanks friend for your willingness to intercede on behalf of so many…
thanks.
my hubby is taking the GRE tomorrow morning (2nd attempt)–pray that he will get the score he needs so that his time will not be consumed by studying for this thing any more and he can spend time with his family again!
After the Drive Conference this week I am re-convicted that our church so needs to to define its vision. Please pray that (1) God would move in our Pastor's heart to see this and (2) that God would use me however to He wants to make that happen. No holes barred, if I need to get fired because of this so be it, but we have to move ahead for the the Kingdom.
Thanks loswhit!
I want to be out of the way this weekend so God's Spirit will be free to speak through me at our weekend gathering and breathe on us all.
Our church is at a turning point. Will we go where God has told us or will we sit here and die. This weekend will be the last with us for some people.
Please pray that my grandfather dies peacefully and pain free and that we have the strength to support him during this heartbreaking journey.
Please pray for my teenage son and the poor decisions he has been making lately. Well, really in the last year. Please pray for a Christian mentor to come along beside him and guide Him to do God's will. Please pray he can discover God's plan for his life and how to use his talents for God's glory.
How can we be praying for you? Please post and I'll commit to pray for you.
Husband needs a job, and we're going through some big transitions. Pray it'll bring us closer together and more dependant on God through all of it and that his will is clear.
Los – how can we pray for you while you pray for us?
This is quite selfish but very real to me. Please pray that my family stays strong as we continue to weather difficult storms and that whatever the outcome, everyone's emotional, spiritual and physical health remains intact.
We are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. We have her pics, she is in our hearts, but we have not been given a court date. It's been almost 6 months waiting to be submitted, much longer than we had anticipated. We just want her home. Please pray that things start moving so that she can be home and safe with us!
You always ask for real… so here I am again…
The last time you did this… I asked for prayer for my husband and I as we were going to go through bankruptcy (my husband lost his business)… we didn't even have the money to pay for it, and then a check showed up to cover the cost. We are now going through the bankruptcy process and our home is in foreclosure… we don't know how much time we have to stay… but that's the "catch" of God's timing…
We have went through an assessment center for Church Planting… and are ready for the next step but God has not showed us where. We know we must leave our home soon and have no idea where to go… as there is certainly a financial aspect as well (not to mention the size of our family… tee hee…)
Please pray for God's CLEAR DIRECTION and where His desire for us to be is. We know His timing is always perfect even when things look bleak… He called us and He will not leave us. We are willing to go where ever He opens the door…
Thanks Los… praying for you and your family as well…
Amy
I have been very sick and I accidentally took too much nyquil last night. This caused me to over sleep and miss a funeral that I was supposed to take part in. Please pray that those above me would have mercy on me after my huge mistake.
prayer for peace and hope…
Awesome man I read your blog daily.
I have been a youth/associate pastor for 15 years and have been without a job for over a year and am currently looking for a ministry. Pray God will lead me and make it clear where I am supposed to go
i missed the service…i'll pray for the after effects of the prayers…
I think it's tonight…
Thank Los, I will be on at 10pm to join in the prayer, yet don't know if I will get the live feed because my internet is slow in the Dominican Republic.
I would love prayer that the professor accepts being my thesis director and my proposal for the thesis. Pray that I can get the thesis project completed and graduate for the Spring with my Masters. I don't want to do the other options because they would take me away from the Dominican Republic.
If you could pray for a friend of mine who is going through tough times and needs clear direction and strength.
Pray for the students that I teach. One that I have been working with the most is an athesist. Pray that she sees God in me and wants that. Pray that I am an example of Christ. I know I have an awesome connection with the students and that is only becuase Christ lives in me. Pray that these students want Christ and accept him.
Thanks Los.
I Praise God for meeting ALL our Needs. Especially while my Husband (Paul) has been out of work. I also ask that we be given a clear vision for this potential job. Or open a new door. I also ask for calmness in Paul's heart he is very anxious to find work. But he is disabled and can only do a desk job. I know God is and can use his wonderful abilities in I.T. to glorify him in a wonderful new job made just for Paul.
God is like a STAR When the Skies the Darkest God Shines the BRIGHTEST!!
please pray that God would show me guidance and wisdom in the coming weeks. I will try my hardest to be live at 10!
thanks!
pray that i learn to trust God and not let my earthly relationships effect the way i view Him and his Love.
Please pray for Paul and I to be sensitive to God's guidance.
hey los! pray for NewSpring Church and it's staffers especially Andy Blagg at the Greenville,SC campus .He has lost some family in a car accident today.
Also, pray for my husband as he searches for his dream job, we both have a passion for doing God's will. Pray for our patience as we go through that process.
My wife and I both "work" in the church. We have been married for 10 months. 2 weeks after our honeymoon she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and has become increasingly more aggressive throughout the last year. She is only 21 years old. Needless to say it has made our first year of marriage somewhat challenging, but we know that God is bigger. We are in the process (with the insurance company) of getting involved with a treatment in Chicago that has been shown to be very effective for young people with aggressive MS. So…could pray for strength to continue to do the work God has laid before us, and that God would do His thing, whatever that may be? Thanks brother. And take time to pray for yourself and your ministry (on behalf of me) that as you leverage culture for Christ, He would be glorified.
Thanks
Part of a start-up church that is beginning a brand new student ministry this month. Hoping to change lives in the High Point, NC, among the area youth.
nice, thanks for the heads up, A!
For the life-partner [husband] Christ has for me. In the current state of the nation and regime…and forever Christ has put a deep desire in me to model a Christ-like marriage. He’s also put in me a desire to help kids around the world through adoption and fostering (THANK YOU S. Truett Cathy and others like you!; the desire was put in place well before Angelina Jolie’s LOL True).
For the Mission Project Feeding The 5,000 to come to fruition and be concluded so the next project can begin: http://DoingWellDoingGood.info
My wife is preparing for Gall Bladder Surgery, while trying to finish up the school year. She is a HS English Teacher. Much to grade and finals to give. Her system is down from the infection.
I, on the other hand, could use prayer as I continue speak the truth of Christ into the lives of our students at Agape Christian. God is moving! Students are getting saved each week. We are Baptizing each week. Tough part is that the student ministry is growing quicker than the church… finances and volunteers needed to sustain the growth!
prayer for God's direction in our career and life. I haven't been working for six months. Financially okay, but doors aren't opening. We are also thinking about moving to a place that has a lower cost of living. Pray that the Lord will show us what to do and where to go. We need revelation
Pray that I find a job soon. I am a new father and been unemployed for 4 months now. Our savings is dwindling and I am afraid we will not be able to stay afloat much longer. I feel abandoned by God right now – as if he's drug me out into the middle of the ocean in the middle of a storm and asked me to fend for myself. I am so lost.
My brother Tony is a heroin addict and his drug is his god. Please pray for his salvation.
For my family- my mom and dad are in the middle of a really nasty divorce, and it's really taking its toll on my 12 year old sister.
And also…the internship I have at my church is in jeopardy…pray that everything will straighten out and be brought into light so I don't get "fired."
just need God to work…on all sorts of things…
Please pray for my dad, Stan. Diagnosed in w/colon cancer following surgery in Sept 08. Just finished chemo a few weeks ago. New biopsy results from repeat colonoscopy shows he needs more surgery. Seeing docs tomorrow and Tuesday for details. Hard to be in NE GA and him in FL.
Last year I quit a full-time job to go back to school to earn my MBA in Health Care Mgmt in hopes of working with senior adults & those in long term care. I am working part time right now, but am not able to get the hours I need to pay the bills. I need to find a full-time job in the health care industry so I can begin to use what I'm learning in my classes.
I feel selfish leaving this request, but I need prayer.
I am getting ready to graduate this saturday (finally) and am finishing up a big paper today and tomorrow. I have been stressing out about this for the last month. It has taken me a year and a half to finish this last class and I am almost there.
I am also in the midst of struggling with my job of teaching at a private school. Wanting to follow the doors that God is leading me through, but I am also wanting to kick through the wall to make new doors. I am struggling to hear the voice of God in a very noisy life that I live. Really confused as to where God is leading me and what he wants to use me for.
Thanks for the chance to vent/ask for help.
I need to learn balance in my life. It kills me when my family is neglected because I can't figure it out on my own.
Pray for our church. As we desperately seek to reach the 30,000 within five miles of our church that don't know Christ. We lost another member today. By now I know it's par for the course, but it hurts in a major way.
I am planting a church in Memphis, TN and need lots of prayer for wisdom in leadership. We are also in need of financial support as we move forward.
My husband and I have been without work for a year and are looking for a new worship ministry position. We are close to losing our only vehicle. Please pray for wisdom and for provision. We have sold almost all of our “stuff” to pay our bills thus far. We will persevere and know God has it in His hands! Thx
I have to ask a couple of people to step down from ministry this week. I know it's the right thing to do (I have fasted and prayed about this extensively). I want to cry just thinking about it – I am SO not good at this part of my job.
Please pray for my dad to truly know Jesus and be filled with His peace. Also, please pray for my husband, who works in the construction field, to get called back to work (he's been laid off since February). In that, we give God praise because he has provided abundantly for us! Also, please pray that my husband and I would have hearts to know Jesus more and would be filled with passion for something to make a difference in this world for Christ.
Thanks for your prayers! =)
Pray for Aleksejs (Aleks)…our 11 year old son we are in the process of adopting from Latvia. Pray that God prepares his heart and ours for what lies ahead of us…we expect God to rock our world beyond our greatest expectations. We will be traveling soon and also need God's provision.
Please pray for a breakthrough as we desire to start a new community of Christ followers here in Escondido, Ca. Thanks so much for your prayers!

We had to rush my mom out of church today by ambulance,stage 4 colon cancer

Pray for all those searching for what will fill the hole in their lives. May they be drawn to the one true living God.
Please pray for God's wisdom as I discern how much contact to allow for my adoptive kids with their birth parents. My son's birthfather and both my daughter's birthparents are looking for contact, apparently clean after years of drug abuse and criminal activity.
Also, on an immediate note, my 6 yo daughter is very sick with a fever, and I pray for comfort and healing for her!
Please pray for my job situation, and my wedding coming up this Friday.
please pray for the missions team from my church who have just returned from Rwanda. That the things they've seen would wreck them for the kingdom, changed by His Spirit and that the would be strengthened and renewed as the step back into their 'ordinary' lives. Several of them have been ill during the trip as well and there have been some issues of strife and frustration that need God's help too.
I want to hear God's voice clearly as I navigate a confusing time of ministry. I want to truly respond in a way that would be glorifying to God, but I am struggling to respond in love, with a good attitude.
I emailed you… difficult situations. So much. I have to serve others first, and I don't know how to mourn properly and trust fully at times… I need Jesus to hold me tight in this… I can do fine when I focus on others, but I want to heal correctly from all of this, handle the legal junk properly, and most of all glorify God in all my actions in this… no matter how it comes out…
Was laid off a month ago. Please pray for God's provision (things are tight) and clarity to know what He would like me to do now. I have good days and bad…need God's encouragement to fight off feelings of depression. Thanks!
Please pray for provision for our family. And for our health as well. Thx
Pray for bipolar husband. He’s having first manic episode in two years. Pray for grace, healing, mercy, peace and restoration with myself and our kids as he has not been in the home for four days. Especially pray for the two little ones. They don’t understand what’s going on.
For my family (we just lost an uncle two weeks ago), the Taylor in Ft. Lauderdale and for the McKellar family…and for me. I need a job
Oh, and for Chris Tschamler (http://hellheal.blogspot.com/). Praying for folks here.
Please pray for me and Mike as he continues to battle depression. I guess really as WE continue to battle depression. Thanks Carlos.
