WELCOME TO THE PRAYER REQUEST THREAD
Prayer is an extremely powerful thing. God is waiting to bless you, to work in your life. All you need to do is ask, to open your heart to Him. Let Him work inside you, just be still. If you invite Him into your heart, you can have peace with the knowledge that everything will be all right. Trust in the Lord and His plan for you. Sometimes going forward with God?s will can be difficult ? it was nearly impossible for Jesus to go forward when He knew what God?s will held for Him. But He went forward with the prayer ?let thy will be done Lord, not mine.? And Jesus died for our sins, so that we might have forgiveness. He would rather die than loose you to sin. He died for you specifically, and He loves you more than you can imagine.
God wants to help you, so if there is anything troubling you, you can feel free to ask us to pray for you. You can post it here, or you can PM me. If you want to keep your request confidential, that?s fine. If you want it to be displayed for all members to pray for you, either anonymously or with your name, then that?s fine as well. I will list the prayer requests for those who wish to be displayed publicly.
Mark 11:24 - "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

You've done a fantastic job with this, Annika! heart I'd like to make a prayer request.
A dear friend of mine, Kait, has been in and out of hospitals a lot lately. She's had three major surgeries in the past three months, and she had to drop out of an entire semester of school because of it. She's in a lot of pain most of the time, and although she tries very hard to be brave and keep going like normal, she needs to take it easy. I'd like everyone to pray that she recovers, and that she doesn't have to deal with painful medical complications in the future.

Blazeychan I would like to make a request.... I am in the Army and my base is getting deployed in January. Please pray for our safety in Iraq, and that we all return alive. Also for all of our families left behind :Lord, in times like this is when we need you most. I pray that you would put you wings over our sister when she departs from Iraq, help her and strengthen her, In the name of Jesus keep her close to our hearts. Amen: Psals91 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 This I declare of the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. 3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from the fatal plague. 4 He will shield you with his wings. He will shelter you with his feathers. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. 5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor fear the dangers of the day, 6 nor dread the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 8 But you will see it with your eyes; you will see how the wicked are punished. 9 If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, 10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your dwelling. 11 For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. 12 They will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone. 13 You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! 14 The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. 16 I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation."

I would like to request a prayer for former Christian Bible Studies guild administrator, LeDoux, as well as his family. Recently, his family was plunged into a sad state of affairs. Below is a quote he posted on CBS before his departure. LeDoux As you see that Im handing over the admin keys to mike_johnson. The reasons for this is that my life at the moment is changing. I will be losing the internet and maybe my home. My parents have been fired from their jobs and we cannot pay off the bills. Everything is going down hill in my life at the moment. So I ask from you all to pray for me and my family. I too will pray for all of you also. Goodbye and God Bless! Old Admin of CBS, LeDoux

Well, mine's a mixture of a praise and prayer request..
Today, as I was going to work, I got into a car accident.
The apparent praise is that I'm alive and no one was hurt. But the request is how the whole insurance thing works out. From how it turned out, the other car is blaming me for something that I see was mostly something that, well not my fault fully but theirs also.
Just pray for me that this little 'case' works out fine. The police said that it could've been at no fault, but I just hope things work out with the others.
