Bible Study last evening was wonderful! A portion of the lesson was about choosing to trust God instead of doubting Him, even when our circumstances challenge our belief. Today, as I'm posting these "Thoughtful Thursdays" prayer requests submitted by some of the wonderful readers of this blog, I want you all to join me in believing God. Together, we need to stand firmly in our faith, hold on to God's word, and let nothing shake our faith.
Please join me in praying for everyone who asked to have their requests shared with the Daily Cup community of faith-filled believers.
A woman who wishes to remain anonymous wrote: I have an infidelity situation in my marriage. We both got pastoral counseling and even though I have biblical grounds for divorce, I am wrestling in my heart with whether to leave or stay. I don’t know what to do and I need special prayer for clarity, peace, and most of all wisdom. All of my girlfriends are telling me to leave but I don’t know if that's the route I want to take. I just don't feel sure at all.
"T.M." wrote: I have an elderly father and my siblings want to put him in a nursing home. My mother passed on about 4 years ago and we all felt guilty about putting her in a nursing home. I vowed I would never let it happen again. But now that dad is so feeble and needs around-the-clock care, everyone has their own financial issues and living situations to think about. Even though I don’t have the money right now and my house is small, I am the only one who will even consider keeping dad. I feel in my heart that I should make the sacrifice because I don’t think dad has a long time left on this earth, and I want to be with him as much as possible. In order for me to do it, I need this part-time job I applied for to come through to bring extra income into the house. If I don’t get that, there is just no way I can afford it. Please pray that God will make a way so I can honor my father.

After the company where I work closed down and I couldn’t find another job I applied abroad. Now that there is an offer that pays pretty decently, I don’t know if I should pick up my life again and move back home, or if I should stick it out a while longer where I am. Please pray for me because I have to make a decision soon.
"Sister J" wrote: My son just told me and his dad that he is a homosexual last Friday afternoon. He invited us out to dinner and said he had something to tell the both of us and of course I didn’t think it would be that!!! So I told him I don’t condone that lifestyle choice but I love him anyway. So I am writing to pray for my son’s deliverance and also for my husband who hasn’t spoken to our son since he came out. I told my husband that we can’t show the love of God if we just push our son away like that, but nothing I say changes him! I know I can’t control what either one of them does. All I can do is pray!! My family desperately needs prayers!!
Angela Jeter wrote: Dianna I read your blogs all the time and they inspire me to want to write because I know I have a calling on my life. But I am afraid of what people might say or think about my writing. I write in my personal journal everyday but I never let anybody read what I'm writing. I want to let go of my fear and feel free to write for the world to see but I need some holy boldness. I want it but I don't feel like I have it.
Lord, thank You for the honor of boldly coming before Your throne. Today, we stand in faith for everyone who stepped out and asked for prayer. There is no situation too complex, convoluted, or confusing for You to work out. There is nothing, NO THING, too hard for You to solve. We trust You and believe that it's already done by faith. And we give You glory in advance! In Jesus' name, Amen.
