i’ve decided that from christmas eve through january 5th, this blog will be quiet. no auto-scheduled-out posting. no posting out my favorite posts of 2008,
nothing. nada.
after a trip to the midwest to visit family for christmas, i am going into a self-induced almost isolation in a land far, far away and will not be bringing my computer with me at all. no twitter. no email.
nothing. nada.
but i would like for you to leave me a comment today with how i can pray for you or for someone you know while i am away. i’ll print off a list on sunday afternoon before my retreat and take it with me.
so comment below, please repost this on your own blogs so others can chime in, and come back to see how you can pray for everyone.
and that’s what it’s all about.

I’ve been having back problems for about 6 months now. Unsure of the cause. Some days the pain isn’t too bad and then days like today and these last few, it’s horrific pain. I don’t have health insurance so seeing a doctor is pretty much out. Please pray for this pain to go away. We’re traveling this week for the holidays & I don’t know if I can handle sitting for that long while we drive.
Hope your time away is full of precious time with God and many blessings!
Yeah, girl! I’ll let you pray for me- I just blogged about it yesterday! I’m trying to get my manuscript finished and to an agent by the end of January. So that means writing about 30,000 words in 30 days. (29,000 after today- booyah!) But just pray that God would fill me with HIS words and help me to meet this goal.
Looking forward to Star Bagel in January. :)
Love,
Annie
Please pray for increased work/regular income for Greg and our family…seems like every month we’re going through the “how on earth are we going to cover all the bills?” scenario…
Your gift is incredible, Anne. Pray for the publisher to make a decision on my book — of course, I would love that decision to be “Yes.”
Also, my boys – 2 stepsons, 1 natural, all three turned away from God. My legalistic ways in their youth didn’t help.
Thank you.
Pray for somebody I know who was divorced about three years ago (husband was involved in porn), and she got involved in a couple abusive relationships afterwards. Pray for her road to recovery, and for her to be a good role model for her daughter who is looking for a healthy dating relationship.
Im looking for a diverse(black,white,brown,yellow) group of people to help me launch a church in Joliet,Ill in the fall of 09.
LOL forgot to pray for my own stuff now that I’ve seen Lorelai’s post.
I also have a painful throbbing back pain as well as whole entire left side of my body….pray for healing or at least find ways/the right doctor to fix this.
I’d really like my brother (Zack, 22) to quit being a stubborn butt-head and accept that Jesus is who he said He is … and, naturally, turn his life over into the Lord’s hands. :) Thanks!
Please pray for my brother’s in-laws. Last week their house burned down and then his mother-in-law’s sister just died. Makes for some tough holidays.
I think it’d be good to pray for your future readers. I work as a Professional Christian and have learned that “we” (the Professional Christians) really like reading books that are thought-provoking and challenging (as I’m thinking your’s will be) and “we” change things around…for 6 months. Pray that we (your future book readers and/or Professional Christians) will take the time to avoid the MCD and make this book the beginning of the end.
Of course, I could be preaching to the choir and you’re already doing this. You seem like someone who would’ve already though of it, so I apologize if I’m simply stating the obvious.
i would be so grateful if you would pray that I would be bold enough to step out and seek help with anxiety despite the fear of rejection/judgment/ being “found out” because i am in full time ministry. i feel like it is trapping me & keeping me living in fear more and more each day & something has to give. thanks so much & i will also pray that your “quiet” retreat will be a blessing.
I would really appreciate it if you would pray for my friend Liz. She has recently been sexually assaulted and is experiencing trauma and an overwhelming amount of pain and fear. Thankyou for posting this, your heart is beautiful!
we are retreating too.
pray for strength to do hard emotional work (relationships)
pray for safety as we face travel delays, possible blizzard conditions
pray for peace as we allow the retreat to heal & renew
we will pray for you as well, esp while you fast from electronics.
My dad’s best friend is in the hospital on his death bed. He has one lung, lost the other to cancer, and the one that he has now is chalked full of pneumonia. “They” say he’s not going to make it. Prayers would rock, thanks :)
I’ll pray for you over your break and ‘sabbath’ from the buzz of the ‘net.
Thanks so much, Anne! This is such an awesome idea!
I’d ask for prayer for Liquid Church. We’re officially going multi-site on January 11, and as you can imagine, we have our work cut out for us.
Personally, this means some major changes for me as I begin serving in a new leadership role at our new location. Yesterday was my final Sunday serving at Liquid Kids on our Morristown campus, and it was a bittersweet day as I said farewell to many friends and fellow team members.
So please pray that our launch will be a successful one. New Jersey is one of the driest regions of the country spiritually, and we hope that God can use us to reach people all over the state with the living water of Jesus.
Please pray for me and my family.
Last week was my last week of unemployment income and my support raising isn’t going well. You can find out my story at http://www.alonbanks.com.
Please pray that faithful supporters will come forward, that God will be glorified through my actions and words, and that I can be strong for my family in this time of uncertainty.
Enjoy your time away. Please pray for me and my unborn baby. I am 3 weeks away from a scheduled c-section. I could go into labor before then. If that happens they’ll take the baby right then. So please pray for a textbook surgery guided by our God and for my health and the health of our baby. No complications. I’d also like to have a successful time breastfeeding this one. Thanks girl!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Please pray that God opens doors next year for my husband and I that we have been praying about for a year now. That all our requests we’ve made known will be answered and that we will have more time together because of it. Kinda elusive, but God knows our hearts :)
Anne, thanks for the gift of prayer — yours and others’. I hope your time away is rejuvenating.
My prayer request is for my brother-in-law (married to my husband’s sister). Larry was in a car accident the day after Thanksgiving and fractured his neck. He is now out of ICU and in a rehabilitation hospital, but we won’t know the extent of the long-term damage or his real prognosis for a while. We are hoping he won’t be paralyzed, so we’re praying for his health and for the strength to endure the months of physical therapy ahead of him. We’re also praying for strength and peace for his wife Susan and his son Andrew (a senior in high school this year).
Thanks for praying, and I’ll be checking back to see how I can pray for others as well.
I would love prayer for my attitude this season. I am about to go to Texas and visit family and in particular, my father…we tend to argue while we are together and I am not always able to hold my tongue…I pray My God shows me how big He is and how small I am and how He might just get my dad to be His someday…and I need to love my father…regardless…
Thank you…thank you thank you!!!
@ anonymous poster 5:41 pm –
My heart goes out to you. I spent years holding in my anxiety and depression because I didn’t want people to know that I had problems. I did not want to be a burden to people. It got to the point where I could never sleep – I would not take care of myself – and I was unable to really minister to people because of of. I hope that you seek help – and soon. A follower of Christ with an incredible experience in psychology is who really helped me work through this pain. I pray that you seek out an individual that will incorporate their beliefs with what you are going through. I spent my “recovery” with no medications. I was so blessed to have ways to work through it without having to ever be medicated. One recommendation – “stop cards”. You take index cards and write STOP on the front. On the back of the card – write a verse or a song lyric or a quote that will remind you that God has it all under control and that the anxiety is something that cannot take a hold of you. Place these cards everywhere. Your car – your wallet (or purse for women) – your mirror – your bathroom – your kitchen. Everywhere. And when your anxiety comes on – reach for the card and meditate on the verse. Take deep breaths and really take it in. I hope that this suggestion will help those who read it. For me – it changed my way of thinking. It is an instant reminder that HE is so much greater than our trials and HE has set us free from the chains of our tribulations. Good luck, friends (esp you anon 5:41).
-As for my own prayer request, I just really seek comfort in this holiday season. My boyfriend and I will have to say goodbye for another two months as he is attending school in Springfield, MO, and it is always so difficult. This is also my first Christmas without three of my grandparents. This time will be so different, and I just pray for all that are having their holidays without ones they wish they could be with. I know that this time is so difficult for some.
Have a great time off, flowerdust. :) We will be praying for you as well, friend.
Hi- first of all, you are so kind for asking people to list prayer requests…because we all know that list could go on and on and never end….
Please pray for me and my missions trip next summer. I am going with Adventures in Missions with a team to Swaziland…which is a small country in South Africa. This country is in desperate need of survival and help, and the healing hand of God.
It is the most AIDS infected country of the world- with over 44% infected. People are dying faster than they are being born. It is estimated that by the year 2050, every person in that country will be dead and wiped off the face of the earth…because of illness and disease. God is powerful and is able to change this.
Pray my support will come in (I’m at 53%) so I am able to still go next summer (for 2 months). Pray we will have an eternal effect on these people…and if not lead them to Christ, plant a seed in this area. Pray God will do something miraculous!!
Thank you! Amanda
Anne
My father in law is still in the hospital,and it looks like he might even be there until after Christmas,I am not able to go into details but please pray for the family and for him. Thanks Andy
I’m going in to Portland Emmanuel Legacy on Jan 7th for a kidney transplant interview. I would appreciate God’s hand n the meeting, and a quick approval. I only have a 1% chance of getting a cadaver match so this is my “real only”chance at life. Thanks
Pray for my husband, Jeff – diagnosed bi-polar disorder II and meds are not working. His coping skills are next to nil, edgy and irritable. Pray for my son and me as we walk through this with him. I have noticed that I am less able to cope with latest developments. He has been unemployed for over a year and stress levels are high. I am confident that God is faithful but I would like to see a light at the end of the tunnel soon.
God bless you, Paula
Thank you Anne, how generous!
Please pray that God will lead, guide, direct and protect my wife and son in 2009. I will pray for you also. Enjoy your time away!
I’ve always wanted to have kids, always wanted to be a mother. I dreamt of my children, held them in my arms in my sleep. My anatomy seems to disagree with my dream. Because of ongoing health problems, I’m looking at having endometrial ablation or possibly a hysterectomy in the next month. This has been a source of ongoing stress and depression for me. To make things worse, I can’t take simple over the counter medications for pain, so my only options are suffer or take narcotics. Please pray that the doctor will make the best decision for my health, and that I will be supernaturally aware of the goodness and provision of God, that I will not be overly fearful or anxious, and that God will grant me peace and help me rediscover the joy he’s filled me with before now.
And I pray, Anne, that your holidays will be marked with the supernatural awareness of the stunning love of God that is the reason we celebrate this season at all.
Wonderful idea Anne…
Simply put…to have confidence in my own writing…
Thanks so much….
Anne,
Thank you. I needed to be reminded of your heart (and the many other hearts here) today. I am continuing to fight the battle with purity. Although the last couple of months have been better, stress is a huge trigger for me. Of course, holidays are often stressful…so you can put two and two together.
Also, a good friend of mine found out yesterday that her cousin stabbed himself. He survived and has already been through one round of surgery. Because she was suicidal for some time about a year ago, this is especially hard for her. She is struggling emotionally and spiritually.
Thanks for loving us Anne.
May your time of retreat be restful, recharging and rewarding!
lory
Pray for me as I deal with a situation of an employer owing me 1972 dollars and then accusing me of taking things from there church by filing police report. All I am trying to do is walk away and start in a new place.
Anne, this is an amazing Christmas gift. If you could, pray for me to know God’s will in some hard decisions like going on disability or not. I have cystic fibrosis and my health seems to be getting worse all the time and my work has always been great and understanding about it, but the past 6 months things have changed for the worse there. I’m very afraid of my psyche not having a job on one hand, but on the other hand, it might be even better for my psyche and my health to be able to take care of myself more. I’ve been struggling with this decision for a while already and just want to do what is right. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas, happy New Year, and enjoy your retreat!
for my brother, he has been off illegal drugs for a few years. since then he was diagnosed w/ bipolar & is taking meds to control that, however here lately he has encountered some issues of not being alert while medicated and has experienced falls that resulted in injuries and consequently being given narcotic pain meds. as he is an addict he has had some set backs & some time spent in & out of a rehab/behavioral hospital these last few months. he now has an opportunity to to go to a program in houston that seems to be the right place for him to get the right help. we are asking god’s guidance for the right decision for where he needs to be as it is no longer acceptable for my brother to be at my mom’s as she isn’t able health wise to care for him. (my mom also needs prayer too as does my aunt as she can also no longer help w/ a place for my brother) in turn i ask god to bless you & your husband & family!
Please pray for my friend Melissa, who is 31 and has non-hodgkins lymphoma. She is married and has 3 kids 5 and under. Currently it appears the cancer is not responding to chemo…to which there would be no cure. You can read more of her story at http://www.danceintherainmelissa.blogspot.com – she has immense faith!
Also, I am just 6 weeks pregnant and miscarried in March. Would appreciate prayers for God’s will that this one would make it!
What an awesome gift to give, Anne. Will keep you in my prayers, too.
Pray for the decisions I’m going to have to make soon, most deal with finding a (real) job. Pray for opportunities first of all, as well as just the whole ‘starting over’ process.
Pray also for my sleep. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in months, due to antidepressant side effects. Real rest is taken for granted until you can’t have it anymore. The effects are mental as well as physical, I don’t really need any more help in the crazy department.,
Hi Anne,
Nice to have a chance to rekindle our mutual prayer support again – thanks!
One of our best friends here was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. She gets to spend Christmas in Cairo with her family but has to fly to England on the 26th for a mastectomy and chemotherapy. You can imagine the stress and trauma that Claire and her young family are going through.
Also, despite my best efforts and the high awareness of burnout issues :-) I have come close to exhaustion this Christmas season. We have been down three senior staff for this whole year and the strain is showing. I’d love to get some joy back.
Will be in Franklin in Feb hanging out with @Recreate and looking forward to meeting you and getting a copy of the book – can’t wait! That conference is the highlight of my year.
Mark.
Thank you for thinking of us. I hope you have a really refreshing time.
My husband and I are hoping to conceive in 2009……please can you pray for us….I have polycystic ovaries and am trying not to get my hopes up.
i?ve been chronically ill for over 15 years. i?m 27 now. the pain is in a lot of places, and severe. please pray for restoration, less pain, more strength.
and for endurance and joyfullness and patience and trust.
and if God decides that less pain is not going to happen, please pray that God will always be more important to me than my health. and while i don?t understand his decisions towards me, that i?ll trust and believe in his goodness love and faithfullness for me.
Please pray for continued healing from cancer. I begin a new treatment regiment in January (thankfully much less invasive and toxic than chemo was). And pray for my family… hubby & 3 small children. They are weathering this storm well, but it is hard on us all.
You are a lovely young woman, with a heart for Jesus. It is so encouraging to read your Blog. :-)
I would like to pray for you, not because you necessarily need it, but because you deserve it. I’ve never met you face to face, but I send you all my love and good wishes for this Christmas season. And I’ll remember you and your friends above in my prayers too.
God bless you, Anne, with all the desires of your heart.
Thanks for offering to pray for us. That’s really cool of you. My default mode tends to be one of anxiety so I’d love prayer for peace and trust in God’s timing. Thanks, Anne. I hope your time away is quiet and fruitful.
Thank you for praying for all of us.
I need healing from depression. I have to fight for joy every single day,
and it is so hard.
a church in cincinnati lost a volunteer in a tragic accident during a christmas production (visit http://www.crossroads.net for more info on that). on top of that, some friends of mine who are part of the programming team at that church lost a good friend and bandmate in an auto accident. very difficult time for them…
My 20 year old cousin passed away two weeks ago a bit unexpectedly (complications from a serious car accident over a year ago). Both of his parents died before he was out of high school, but he had many aunts and cousins, and our grandma. Please keep our family and his family on his mom’s side in your prayers.
Also keep me in your prayers as I try to get my disease under control, figure out a way to pay for my meds (my insurance doesn’t cover prescriptions), all while transitioning to a new school this spring.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Please pray that my husband will have more grace and patience with our two young boys and that the stress that that brings in our family and marriage will cease.
thank you and have a wonderful Christmas!
My wife has a cousin who is separated from her husband. It’s a long story, but basically she has a million unresolved issues and he’s now the recipient of all of that and she left him. Please pray for them to work out their problems. Pray that she will work out her individual stuff as well so that she can be free from it. The last thing my wife’s family needs is another divorce.
Thank you for your prayers. Please pray for for God to move in my family, in the hearts of my wife and I and our four kids. We are doing great right now I just want Him all over us. Pray that I can lead our church (I’m a pastor http://fosm.net) the way God wants me to. 7 years as a pastor and I’m still pretty clueless. I want my family and church to be in the middle of a great move of God. I also want to be real with my kids and that they see that and grow up loving Jesus without much pk baggage.
PLEASE pray for our 19 yr old daughter who is living in an abusive relationship…. homeless in Seattle, with a baby due on January 6th…we brought her into our home through adoption when she was 8 yrs old…. and it feels like she has returned to her roots of abuse and neglect. PLEASE pray that she will remember the God who loves her, and cry out to HIM… I believe He will hear her and rescue her… thanks
My 12-year-old nephew tried to hang himself last night (thankfully he was unsuccessful) – this is suicide attempt #2 and he needs SO much prayer. My sister (single mom, pagan & wiccan) has been completely contemptuous toward him for the last 3 years and has her own share of problems, so the situation is precarious and as much as my husband and I wish we could “rescue” him, it would be irresponsible for us to attempt it at this point. Thank you for praying for Chance.
Please pray for lonely widows.
If you could pray for direction for me over the next few months in particular and that God opens up a job in a good organisation with nice people as I get back into working full time. Also that I completely heal from my mild brain injury – I’m almost there but I still get a bit frustrated!
Please pray that I find a partner who is worthy, honest, and caring.
Thank you for doing this. I found you through Angie Smith’s blog.
Have a very Merry Christmas.
i wrote a post a week or so ago asking others how i could pray for them – kind of as a gift for all the prayers they’ve lifted up on my behalf. however…i would love to add my requests here as well. i suffer from a life altering illness that has left me with chronic vertigo. it’s been this way for 18 months and in the meantime my husband of 17 years left and filed for divorce. BUT i am praying for miracles. for healing in my body and for healing in don’s life. i believe that my marriage will be restored. (yikes, that is scary to me) thank you for your gift of prayer.
Hi Anne…
Thank you for wanting to pray for us. Especially me whom you don’t know from Adam.
I read you daily and I love your heart. My husband and I were able to visit Crosspoint back in early December and what a blessing that church has been to me. And, I’m not even in Nashville. I shared some information with Pete and would love to have you pray for me about where I am to serve God and His church. I’m in a church where I am in ministry but not in complete agreement with the leadership of my church. I’m praying daily for God to show me exactly where He wants me.
Thanks Anne. I thank God for you as I type this out. And, I pray you have a beautiful Christmas and feel better soon. ;)
Blessings,
Fran
Thanks for praying Anne!
My husband became a bone marrow donor in November. He was the perfect match for a stranger. It’s been an amazing priveledge for him to be able to give another person the gift of life. So please pray for the 59 yr old woman with leukemia who received my husband’s marrow. Please also pray for my husband. They hit and damaged his siatic nerve during the bone marrow harvest and he has been in constant pain for six weeks now. This was NOT part of the plan and it’s a very rare complication but a serious one. The medication they’ve given him makes him very sick, so he stopped taking it. Now he’s going to get some physical therapy and we’re hoping that helps. It can take up to two years for a nerve to heal itself, but we know we serve a BIG GOD who can do better than that!!
Merry Christmas,
Judy
Hi Anne,
Thanks so much for your generosity in taking time to pray for strangers! What a wonderful use of this amazing power that the Lord has so graciously given us!
I’m new to your blog, but loving it already! This season I’m asking for prayers for my younger brother. He’s postponing the continuation of his college education while he deals with some psychological/depression/motivation problems, and his sadness is breaking my parents’ hearts. He’s turned away from the path of God, and claims he feels too judged… tough times, but we have faith that this will be redeemed!
Thanks and have a wonderful, blessed, and memorable Christmas!! In Him, Michele
Hi, thanks for sharing that post. I have just stumbled upon your site and You have a new subscriber(me). By the way I’ve been writing a blog about my own weight loss and
free weight loss diet
I would appreciate it if you could check out my site and let me know what you think about it.
Thanks,
Joan
We could really used some prayers. My 5 year old son was just diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. I’ve been asking the Lord for acceptance and patience. In addition, my husband has just been suspended from his job, and could possibly be fired because of the time he took off to be at the hospital with my son.
Thank you.
I just want to finally be able to love myself so I can love other people more easily. I know my healing will be found through serving…I just need some help from God and there are times where I feel very distant.
Thank you so much!
Like Juliepersinger, I could use prayers as well! My hubby is a self employed Remodeling Contractor and in these hard times work is very slow!! Please pray for more steady jobs to come.
I also ask for some prayer for my family, as things are a bit at odds with the whole bunch!!
Lastly, for me, as I suffer from depression and am having an extremely hard time with it!!
Thank you so much. I will pray for you as well, for wonderful things and to keep being such a wonderful person!!Thanks again!!
Thank you for your prayers, my husband and I are praying for the Lord’s clear direction regarding Ethiopian Adoption. We’re really quite torn about it, as I feel that the Lord is calling us to do this and my husband has not felt the same leading.
Thank you for your prayers!
-Erin
My 55 year old husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in November and is undergoing aggressive chemotherapy. His white blood cell counts have been extremely low, requiring him to have injections of medication to “boost” his white blood cell count. WELL, the shots aren’t a problem, but the side effect is BRUTALLY SEVERE bone pain. My husband has had 3 of 12 treatments and the road ahead looks all UPHILL and VERY LONG. We trust the Lord will carry us through, as we know we can’t make this journey on our own. Please, you can pray for us in the following ways:
1. That my husband’s doctor’s would find the right combination of medications to relieve his painful side effects.
2. That my husband and I would have peace of mind and heart (we are both feeling quite a bit of anxiety.)
Thank you for opening your heart to bless us in this way. May you in turn, be richly blessed!
I just found your site through our pastor posting a link on Facebook. Thank you for praying for us.
My prayer request is for a new church we are launching in downtown Indianapolis in March 2009. We have a lot of things to get ready before (and even after) that date. This is now the 3rd church plant that my husband and I have been blessed to be a part of and we are more excited than ever before. Please pray that God would begin to soften the hearts of those that live in our city. Thank you! :)
hi anne. my 5 month old, claire, has to have brain surgery next month. not only is she missing part of her brain and has a cyst in there, now her ventricles are increasing with fluid. you can read more details about it on our family blog. please pray for her, the doctors performing the operation and that we would get through this extremely heartbreaking ordeal with patience, faith and above all joy in the beautiful miracle that is our baby girl. we will continue to rejoice no matter what the prognosis is for her future but we want so much for her to have a chance to learn, grow and know how loved she is by Jesus.
Safety for Daniel and I. Physical I mean…as we are starting to “feel” the tension and racial and maybe have been a little naive here and there up till now. We would just like to be covered in this area. Kthanks.
Hi Anne,
I could use some prayer, I stepped out or walked away from my volunteer leadership role in a ministry this past weekend. I was hurt by a decision that embarrassed me in front of my team and showed no confidence in me. No one from leadership has bothered to check on me other than to get emails from the Senior Pastor about the next services and how they will be staffed. I am really hurting.
Please pray for my family as we seek the Lord in severe financial stress…we are on staff at a church and are feeling the effects of staff paycuts. We want to be obedient…..I am dry and need more of HIM, my husband is discouraged and needs to hear HIS voice.
Thank-you, this is such a blessing!
pray for me…..I am getting emotionally involved with another man……..I’m getting deeper and deeper and need to STOP now! thanks…..
After reading some of these requests, none of my “needs” seem important. My greatest desire is that God would break me. Man, I don’t want to pray that. I am looking for clear direction and in order to hear it and then do it, I need to get out of the way.
Praying for you as you take time off. I pray you do not take on the burdens of those you are praying for – that you leave them in the Father’s hands. I pray you return refreshed, renewed, and rejoicing.
Please pray for our family. Our youngest son (18 – a high school senior who is still at home) is not a believer and this hurts both of us tremendously. Please pray for his salvation, my husband’s pastorate and last year of seminary and my attitude of apathy towards my faith. If you want to share this with any of your other prayer groups please do. Know that I pray for you every time I see your name on my facebook/blog. Thanks and blessings to you.
please pray for my heart and thought life during this upcoming semester at college. it has been difficult keeping my focus where it should be as my first love and his new fiance now seem to be… well, everywhere! it is hard sometimes to attend events that i know they will also be at or see mutual friends of ours. though on the surface i’m sure this seems so small, seeing him is a reminder of terrible hurt and regret, and it often makes me physically ill.
have a wonderful christmas, anne. and thank you, thank you for the prayers!
I really need God’s guidance and clear and specific direction for my life in 2008. Where to step, where to go, what to do, how to accomplish the things He has laid on my heart. Thanks.
Gee that would be 2009!
Please pray that my husband and I would be obedient to God and continue to pursue the adoption that He has placed on our hearts. Please pray that He would provide the funds we need to make this a reality, and that we would be good stewards of all He blesses us with. Please pray that He would remove the fear from my heart.
Hi Anne,
Thank you so much for your prayers.
Please pray for my brother Michael and my friend Neil to come into a personal relationship with Jesus. I know God has so many plans for both of their lives. Also, I recently lost my job so I’m in need of a new one. Please pray that I remain open to the leading of the Holy Spirit for Him to take me to exactly where he wants me to be.
This blog has been such an encouragement to me. Do keep up the good work and I pray that your life be richly blessed as you continue to live out your life for Christ.
Pray for my mom, they found a lump in her breast and we are waiting test results
Anne – thanks so much. I will accept your offer of prayer: for my five kids, as they continue to grow and be “normal” kids…and for me, that I find a season of rest like the one you are pursuing. Many thanks….God bless….
I know this is a little late, but hope it’s not TOO late. =)
Please pray for encouragement, confidence, and guidance from the the Holy Spirit in where my musical gifts can be best used in my church. I wish to grow more confidently with my voice and guitar, but it’s not easy to do and I need His strength and the trust for divine opportunities to serve. Thanks Anne!!
I would appreciate your prayers for my husband and I who will be soon trying to have our first child. There are so many things we need to still talk about, but I know that God will help us through. Thanks for your prayers.

sir i & my family (myself h srinivasan, my wife sharada & my daughter geetha) are in deep trouble, i.e., by my father asking us to vacate the house.. in fact i personally nor my family has any grudge against any of their family members.
we were really happy family with whatever we were earning.,in fact my brothers family are jealous on us since we were living a good living all with grace of lord.
?
my father an ex-service man form air force who is aged about 86 yrs. has a property 30 x 40 site in which he has constructed two outhouses, after my marriage we were separated for almost 25 yrs, by the grace of lord. just 3 yrs back he called us back telling that a portion which was rented has got vacated and that if i liked i can accommodate in that house,
?
in the other house my father along with my brother h krishnamurthy, his wife satyawati, son asharay?are residing, my brother’s wife is a very jealous in fact a poisonous lady, she has managed to brainwash my father for selling the property (on asking some astrologer they said that she has given him to eat something which was mixed with cruel poisonous stuff for changing intentions), she is a such a lady that she? created problem for water in the house, & even today she & my brother are continuously mentally torturing & harassing us by passing unwarranted remarks, shutting the doors on our face when ever we pass by. it is this lady courtesy we are almost on street today?& begging for rented house with other am not sure where this will end. in fact we have made up our intention to go in for a suicide pact & let them enjoy the future life.
?
now my father is bent upon selling the property, come what may i am not going to budge to anybody is his present attitude.
on 1st nov 2008?he came & knocked our house door and said that he is?selling the property, & that i should vacate the place, in a fit of rage, anger i told me what does he mean by asking us to vacate the place. for that he said that he has an alternate, and latter telling?that? i don’t deserve it.
?
i now request u to place a prayer at the lords feet so that my father?& my brother’s family changes or reverses his decision or his mind & ask us to continue in the same small house.
since 1 nov 08 my family is hell upset on these developments, – undergoing endless mental torture (we r not able to pray, eat or sleep).
beside my father at this ripe age weather he is doing the right or wrong i don’t know. one for sure my brothers family after getting the money they will ditch him. i don’t want this to happen.
?
my prayer is that let good sense prevail on my father, & my brother’s family & let lord give him good sense & mind to reverse the present thought of selling & retain us in the same place. PRESENTLY MY FAMILY’S LIFE IS IN RUINS.
?
sir could your good selves guide me on our future’
?
sir i am also 55 yrs of age WITH A MEAGER EARNING OF Rs. 12,000 pm, my daughter is also 21, my wife has BP, for all practical purpose it would become difficult for me to stay in a rented house – pay rent, take loan for marriage, repayment stuffs like that. literally speaking i am not having any money with me. even to pay advance for a rented house i have to borrow money with outside sources, it would become really difficult to lead a simple life. in fact we were going in for a suicide pact. we r really messed up.
?
we still hope lord will listen to our voice & grace his solace on us
?
pls help us by placing this prayer request at lord lotus feet.

my prayer is that let good sense prevail on my father, & my brother’s family & let lord give him good sense & mind to reverse the present thought of selling & retain us in the same place.
