God Bless you Jenny for starting this again. I think you are a woman after God's own heart and are a beacon of hope for many of us.

please pray for my cat...chloe

yes, it's low priority i know, but she is a member of our family and the news today from her vet was not good. she's a rescue kitty, we've had her for 9 years. Her kidney is ballooning and unless we choose to undertake expensive surgery to remove it, she may need to be put down.

it's ripping me up. pray for healing, please.

Oh wow, I know how rough that can be! I will pray...

I need prayer for this new book I am writing. It's going to be a long process and I already want to give up but God keeps sending confirmation that it needs to be done.

I am sad to share this news.

my sister's sister in law is pregnant and about 30 weeks along. The baby has suddenly presented with a very high heart rate that hasn't been able to be lowered with medication. The doctors say that if the heart rate doesn't go down in the next few days the baby will expire. (I cannot believe that is the wording they use!!?)

So, if they cant get the heart rate down, they will deliver the baby and then do heart surgery to put in a baby pace maker. the doctors are not being particularly hopeful with michael and lisa. They have said that there is a very small chance of survival if the baby is born now but that if they can keep it in lisa it's chances are considerably better.

Please keep Michael and Lisa in your prayers.

My prayers are out for Michael and Lisa and that the Holy Spirit will regulate the baby's heart rate back to normal.

Sgt. Luis Rosa-Valentin is the nephew of a SS classmate of mine. about two months ago, he had both legs and an arm blown off in a IED roadside device while serving in US Army 4th Infantry Division in Iraq.

he had been in Walter Reed in DC and was just relased. his prognosis is actually for him to lead a normal 'amputee's' life. i know that sounds odd, but the doctors, his family, and Sgt Rosa-Valentin are looking at this as a huge victory and Gift from GOD!

he still has probably 3 - 4 more surgeries in his very near future. please continue to pray for this hero and his family.

Today's been a difficult day. Tonite was the first night I didn't have someone in my room to hear the cries of my heart over my accident; The cries that finally have managed to make its way out because I dont have anyone to hear them. I mourn over the challenges that God sets before me and I grieve over why I didnt obey to avoid His discipline. His simple whispers spoke gently, yet I sought my own direction and I delayed in action to His instructions. Now I pay a heavy price for my disobedience and I ask you, family, for prayer that the crippling that took place in both my ankles won't cripple my spirit. That I may find unwavering peace and joy for whatever the outcome. Bound by wheelchair and caged indoors has managed to dim my inner light. Darkness tries to fight it's way in--it's a battle I grow weary of.

Please pray that the strength I receive to bear this burden doesn't harden my soft layers. Pray for God's mercy over my life, that I may always find comfort seeking His face. That I need nothing else and my desires will only be what His will for my life is. That I relinquish my own selfish needs to have my own wants met. That He use me in my broken state and opportunity continues to present itself in leading others to Him.

Every circumstance is a road that brings us closer to Him and please pray I choose the right and narrow path...

God Bless you all! I cannot wait to dance again!

@Shannonw My prayers are out for you. Take care.

Hey all, This is my first attempt at a chat room prayer request. I've been out of work for about 3 months and have a wonderful opportunity at my feet. I interview on Tues. and just need a boost, a career miracle. Please not only pray that I get the job and the pay be enough to help me support my kids and get out of a bleak financial situation (over time) but more importantly that it be a place where I can minister and show God's light in a very real way. Thank you so much!

I prayed for you tonight Krzy4hm.

Thank you, Jsb. I'll keep you posted. God is SOOOO Good!

Hey Shannonw,

Please know that your choice and the outcome were not a punishment. God has something very special in store for us all despite how we have "crippled" ourselves spiritually or physically. Keep your eyes on him, and even though you do, it may not be a straight path. Don't wait until you can get up and move, listen to beautiful music and dance in your heart and your head. Practice every day! I'll will keep you in my prayers!

Please pray for:

* my friend Ricky's mom. She is very sick.

* a close friend and business partner, Dan. He is battling cancer and going through chemotherapy.

* a family friend, Kristin. She is dealing with some serious legal situations.

Thank you!

Dear friends,

I just got a phone call from one of my best girl friends in the world with some of the saddest news I could ever imagine hearing.

Her name is Kim and she lives in Valencia, CA.

Her baby boy Cade, 2 days short of 6 months old, recently died of breathing complications.

As you can imagine, she is devastated, but she has found strength in knowing he is in a better place and that God has allowed this to happen for a reason unbeknown to us.

As strong as she is, I ask that you please pray for her and her family!

Thank you.

I Pray for Shannon for constant Brightness on her path ,as she heals.I pray for her Spirit to be strong and rise above aLL SELF PITY.KNOW YOU ARE LOVED by the KING. ALL WILL BE WELL.God Bless.Never stop hearing the music.Peace INDY

please say a quick prayer for Micheal and Lisa and their prematurely born son Rocco. it does not look good. they are my sister's in-laws.

Doctors say a 10% chance of survival. HOWEVER...little Rocco has made it now 6 days, which, as i understand it, it very good news, the longer he can make it the better it may be. but the poor little boy is far from stable...

Praise be to God.

Ok so where do i start, Im still not getting child support, so for that, for my finances, im really struggling, I also met who i thought was the "man of my dreams", but so afraid i have pushed him away, wasn't sure how to be accepting of his kind heart, so now we aren't talking But, he also in "process of divorce" so maybe not good idea to pursue right now but im hurting and in lots of pain because I allowed to compromise some decisions just to talk to him. Im stressing at my job too, not eating, feel like im in the pits.

I just prayed for you.

and look, i sure wish i had more than words to tell you not to worry...when you're where you are at right now, it feels so meaningless to write what i'm going to, but it's has helped me in times of trouble.

Joshua 1:9 - Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (NIV)

please hang in there. God loves you and your beautiful little girl and i pray it all turns out well in the end for you!!

God Bless.

@ Karinasmommy04
 I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers.
 I am with Bobkastl on this, but I can only hope it helps.

you may know the poem:
  One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
  “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
  The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
 
Trust in the Lord. Let Him carry you a short distance then allow Him to show you just how much STRENGTH you have! Tell Him you don't need to be carried, but would certainly follow His lead.
If you own the song "Praise you in the storm" by Casting Crowns, listen to it over and over. that always helps me.

 May God bless you and keep you.

@ Karinasmommy04 I know that what you are going through is very challenging but I also recommend listening to "Praise you in this storm" by Casting Crowns. If it means anything, lifestorms are sometimes the best thing that can happen to us. They draw us close to God and push us deeper into faith. And when the clouds clear, when the sun is shining again, you will find yourself stronger and able to run further in the race that God has called you to.

@karinasmommy04 - Prayed for you today. I prayed for His good comfort and peace to rest on you, clarity of mind for your decisions ahead, and the strength of courage only found in those who draw it from the Lord. Peace and blessings to you!

Psalm 68:19 - Praise be the the Lord, our Savior, who daily bares our burdens.

What comfort to know we never endure alone!
