It's my favorite day of the week, because it is the time my prayer team and I set aside to intercede for others. Please take a moment and pray for the following individuals included on our "Thoughtful Thursdays" list.

I would like to ask for prayer for my family: my 2 daughters and 1 son. I'm asking God to renew my daughter’s mind and speak to her heart about self-respect. For my other daughter, that God will keep her from harm & to listen to herself and not to be influenced from friends, but to have her own mind. My son, that God will surround him with other Godly children. For all 3 as a whole to go ahead of them to make their crooked path straight and to continually succeed with their grades in school.

Hello,
Please pray for me that I grow closer to God. That I focus on God. That I am loyal to God. That I put God first. That I can hear God. That I receive direction and that I am obedient to God. Amen

Please pray for guidance for me as I just lost my job 4 days ago. I had been there for eleven years. I know that God will open another door, but right now, I feel so unsure, un-confident & very low on self-esteem. I've been an office worker for over 20 years & would love to take a different turn in life as I will be 50 years in 3 months. I would finally love to have a job that fulfills & helps the community, as opposed to stuffy, political offices with no appreciation. Lord, I pray that I will have ears and eyes open to hear your direction. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.

I am causing my own suffering. I'm so tired of analyzing every situation in my life. I need direction on how to really put these challenges in God’s hands and leave them there. I don't know how to do that. Everyday I'm so consumed with trying to figure things out on my own I become too exhausted to enjoy life in the present moment. I have reconnected with my daughter’s father. We are both Christians now and have become best friends.
We are not intimate at all but are around each other every day fellowshipping. I want more. I want to be his wife but he has made it very clear that he is not interested in ever having a wife, because he has to focus on The Lord and what His will is for him.
At times I feel used because I do things a wife would do like wash his clothes, make his lunch or cook him dinner. He doesn't ask. I volunteer to do it and I enjoy doing it for him. But should I stop these things?
Oh please pray for wisdom, courage, discernment peace and direction for my life. This has been consuming me 24-7!! Along with what to do with my career and what my purpose is. I'm exhausted. Please pray for me.

I am up for a promotion on my job but it is the same one my best friend at work is going for too. I applied for the position first and I am more qualified than her to fill it. I have been considering withdrawing my name for the sake of our friendship. I don’t want money, work, or anything to come between our sisterhood. We have been great friends for the last 4 years, ever since I started working where she works. We share so much in common and friends like her come along once in a lifetime.
I know in my heart that if she is my true friend I shouldn’t have to worry about something like a new job promotion coming between us. But I just want to be sure about what I should do. I really need the money but I value friendship above things. Thank you for your prayers for guidance. God bless you and your team.
God, before any of these requests were posted or uttered, You already knew the needs. Lord, You see, know and are in control of all things. Today, we ask for Your guidance and pray that You will stretch out Your hand and intervene in the lives of those who are crying out for Your help. Though we don’t know the way, or what to do, You have all the wisdom, insight and understanding we need. So today, we trust You and place our confidence in Your ability to do all things. Thank You Lord. 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.
