It's my favorite time of the week when we take special time to pray for someone else on "Thoughtful Thursdays."
Please join me in interceding for the following people who are requesting prayer:

I am 43 and my husband and I just found out I am pregnant again. Our oldest is 18 and I really don't want another baby. Sometimes at night I cry because I feel trapped by this pregnancy and I also feel guilty for feeling trapped. Why is God letting this happen now? I have a career and I felt like I was finally done with the baby raising phase of my life. I ask myself Am I a bad person for feeling like this? Is God angry with me for not being happy about it? I need to accept the pregnancy but I don't know how to. Please pray for me because this is not what I had expected at this time in my life.

I lost my house last year and my car last month. I feel like my life is falling apart after being laid off last year. I had an executive level position and I just can't seem to find opportunities that fit my skill set, education and give me the income I need. I am currently working a temporary job at a law office. I don't know how I fell so far so fast. I am praying for God's guidance and favor for a new opportunity. I really need it. Thanks to you and the Daily Cup prayer team for praying in advance, Dianna.

I am a perfectionist and always seem to find things wrong with me and the things I do. I get paralyzed and really depressed over feeling like I am not enough. There are a lot of emotional issues that have built up over the years to cause the self hatred and low self-esteem I have but I don't want to wallow in it. I want to be free of it. I need to get out of this neverending slump I have been in. I read your blogs and feel motivated but then I slip right back into depression. I want this to stop so I can be the happy, free person I know is inside.

I have been attending my church for 7 years and my pastor died of a heart attack a few months back. I was so sad because he was such a good pastor and I got saved under his ministry. Now our church is in search of a new leader and it has caused a lot of fighting, division, and ugliness. I feel like my spirit is dying in this process and the candidates who are being considered I could NEVER EVER see them being my pastor. I want to leave but I have no idea where I would like to go. I just need answers about how to handle this process. My spirit is suffering.

Dear Dianna, thank you for your cups of inspiration! I read them every day and have grown in my faith because of them. I still feel like I don't know my purpose and I desire to. I would like prayer for a clear understanding of what my purpose is. Thank you!
Father, thank You for everyone who has come boldly to Your thone of grace today to get the help they need. Whatever the situation may be: financial, spiritual, emotional, or mental, I pray that You stretch out Your hand of healing, deliverance and comfort. Give the wisdom and guidance that only You can. Though the situations are complex, you know all the issues and contributing factors. And You, oh God, are the only one who is able to give the answers they seek. All the power, glory and wisdom is thine, and we thank You in advance for what's already done by faith, in accordance with Your perfect will. In Jesus' name, Amen.
If you need prayer, I would be honored to stand in faith with you. Click here to find out how to request "Thoughtful Thursdays" prayer.
