If you’ve ever been down and felt hopeless before, you know how hard it can be to pray yourself through. You just can’t find the words or muster the strength depending upon how intense the battle is.
That’s why every Thursday, I ask you to join in with me to pray on behalf of the readers of Your Daily Cup of Inspiration who are going through tremendously challenging times.
Today, please intercede for the following individuals who wrote into the blog requesting prayer:

My father was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I would like to keep the condition private for the protection of my family, but it has exposed some secrets and issues in the family and this has been a very difficult time for my mother especially. Please pray that my family will not fall apart. There is no one else that knows God in my family except my stepbrother and so everyone else is wigging out right now. This is truly the toughest thing we have ever faced as a family. Please pray that something good will come out of it and my family will get to know the Lord for themselves, and my father before it’s too late.

I need all the prayers I can get . I have been feeling for a long time very stagnant in my walk, prayer life and church. I feel as though I don’t pray, read or worship if at all some days … everyday life happens and it gets put on the back burner. I have so many dreams and desires but I feel like I'm going in one big circle because I have no direction from God, coupled with the fact I literally have no clue what my purpose is. I hear so many people say they are doing what God called them to do. I feel like I haven't been called to do anything because I haven't received any instructions, and really don’t have special talents or skills. I feel like I'm not progressing in life or anything. I do know that God has brought me through a lot and has blessed me, just with my very life. Please pray for me.

I am in my 30's and single. I feel so lonely sometimes as the rest of my family is halfway across the world, and growing up, most of my close friends were guys, but as you grow older this starts to pose problems. Please pray that:
- God will find & lead me to the women that I should be friends with, and help me accept his choices for me.
- I may be content in my singleness and allow God to mold me and shape me into a woman of God.
- I may have a hunger and thirst for His Word and spend time in prayer daily, no matter what.

I have a hopeless feeling, like I have no reason to live. It’s like I am absolutely empty inside. My mother has depression issues but I have always said that is not going to be me! I want to overcome this. Please pray for my emotional stability and my strength.
God trials can be so hard and life can seem desolate when we don’t have clear direction from You. Right now, we ask on behalf of every person reaching out to You through prayer requests, that You would hear their supplication. Incline Your ear unto them and give them the healing, guidance, answers, peace, joy, and deliverance they so desperately seek. We know, oh Lord, there is nothing too hard for You. And we count it all done according to Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
