I wish I could post all the requests I receive every week, but they would be too numerous. So I choose 5 each week to share with the collective body of believers who read the Daily Cup of Inspiration. As you read these requests today, please take a moment to consider the pain and the dire needs of others. Your prayers make such a great difference in the lives of those who are hurting, broken, and suffering.
Please join me in praying for the following individuals on our ‘Thoughtful Thursdays’ list today:

Hi Dianna. Thank you for taking time to read my prayer request. My father killed himself a year ago. The police found him in his home with an empty bottle of pills at his bedside. This is the day my world shattered. My father was my hero and the only person who ever truly believed in me and told me I could be anything I wanted to be in life. He left a note saying he was sorry but that was it. I’m so full of anger, questions, and fear. I feel like my life was destroyed from that moment on. Please pray for me that God would give me some closure and so I won’t feel so empty and hopeless inside.

I have suffered from fibroids all my life and my husband and I have been having trouble getting pregnant. I already lost a baby and I have had 3 surgeries already and I’m almost 37. I don’t want to give up my dreams of having at least one child. Please, please, please pray for healing so my husband Joshua and I can start a family before it’s too late.

I have been an abusive relationship for 3 years now and I don’t know how to get out. I have pulled away from all my family and friends, dropped out of school, and I feel like I have no one I can go to but God. The relationship started out beautifully but this man turned out to be an insecure monster. I am 3 months pregnant with his child. Please pray that God would give me the strength to leave him. I’m afraid for my life.

Dear Dianna,
Your blogs are so encouraging. Thank you for sharing your heart with us daily. I need prayer for something that has been weighing very heavily on me. I’m making a career change after 10 years. I have been practicing criminal law but my spirit is dying because I know the people I am defending are not right. Some of the horrors I know they have committed against people are wiped away because I am a skilled lawyer. But I am quitting the practice and becoming a professor. I just have so much guilt I don’t think can ever be wiped away. Please pray for me for forgiveness. I know God forgives me but I cannot forgive myself. All the lives of the victims who were hurt haunt me over and over again.

I’m praying for my mother Geraldine who is a diabetic. She is in a deep depression since having her foot amputated because of the severe damage to the tissue and bone. She is only 57 years old and has a lot more of life to live if she will just take better care of herself. Please pray for her health— physical and mental.
Today’s Prayer: God, no one else can heal the heaviness, brokenness, guilt, and pain of those listed today. But You are able to do all things. Please stretch out Your hand and touch each individual listed here as only You can. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
