It's my favorite day of the week--the day we set aside to pray for others in need. Today, please join me in interceding for those on our "Thoughtful Thursdays" list. We know God is able!

Please pray for me. This has been a very difficult year financially. Please pray that I can somehow continue to take care of my family. Thank you.
I was just diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and I don’t really know what to feel. I have had breast cancer in my family before and I have seen others go through it. I know survival is possible if detected early and I am believing God will bring me through. But I am a little worried about my treatment. I need God to guide the doctors and specialists to make sure I receive what I need to beat this. Any prayers would be greatly appreciated to build my faith and give me comfort at this time.

I have been through three divorces and I have a lot of drama in my life. For a long time I thought it was everybody else around me but at some point I see that I have to stop blaming “everybody else” and take some ownership of my actions. Everybody can’t tell the same lie! I have some personal issues I’m working through but I don’t know how to get to the bottom of them. I decided to write in because I don’t know what to ask God for or how to change but I know I need to. I’m praying for some BIG changes in my life!!!! I have had some good people to come through my life and then go because of the drama. I don’t want to be this way. I want a healthy relationship with myself and the Lord because I have pushed everyone else away.
A few years ago my back was severely injured during a car accident. I had to go through therapy for a full year and it hurt to walk or just move. During that time I was prescribed very strong prescription drugs to help cope with the pain. Now I am just addicted to them and I am too embarrassed to tell anyone around me that I don’t take the drugs for my back anymore. I take them for the high. I can’t really function without them. I crave them. So I keep making up excuses and reasons why I need them and my doctor gives them to me. I want to be free of addiction

I don’t really know how to put into words what I need, but I know I need prayer. I get tired of people using me but it is very hard for me to speak up for myself. I accept so much from everybody. Sometimes I cry silently in my room when people mistreat me. They borrow money and don’t pay it back. They get rides and don’t give any gas money. When they need a place to stay I let them in. They just use me but are never there for me in return. A lot of times I feel angry but it’s hard for me to say what I feel. It’s like the cat gets my tongue or something and I just get too scared and freaked out to say what I’m feeling or what I need. Even writing in for prayer is very hard for me because I feel silly and I just don’t feel comfortable speaking up. I guess I would like to be able to express myself and not be so fearful of what others will think about me.
Financial stress, sickness, emotional issues, addiction, and personal struggles… God, You see and know all. There is nothing too small or big for You to handle, and nothing catches You off guard. You are sovereign and more than able to meet every need. So today, we gather together and connect our faith, believing that You will intervene according to Your will. As we touch and agree in spirit, God I pray that You would honor our faith and answer the petitions of Your people. We thank and praise You in advance for what’s already done. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you need prayer, don't hesitate to request it. I would be honored to stand in faith with You. I know that prayer works. CLICK HERE to learn how to submit your prayer request.
