Today, in addition to all those requesting prayer from the Daily Cup community of faith, we are also seeking God on behalf of victims in Boston and Texas, who have suffered terrible atrocities this week.
We don't know all the survivors and grieving loved ones are in need of, or how to heal their hurts or mend wounds, but God is able to do all these things.
So today, please join me in praying for these victims of tragedy as well as the following persons listed on today's "Thoughtful Thursdays" list.

First and foremost, I thank God for revealing this blog to me because it has been really inspiring, so thank you for your words of encouragement. I am seeking intercession for restoration in my life. I am 30 yrs. old and I have a 10 yr. old daughter. 7 years ago I began a relationship that was very draining and complicated, but I could not see it for what it was because I was so "in love".
I believe that the guy that I was involved with was a great hindrance to my blessings....at one time I decided to end the relationship and things began to open up in my life, but shortly after that, I began to see him again and it was back to struggle and stagnation on my end. The past 2 years we have been on and off, until recently, when I decided to end the relationship permanently, with no desire to ever return.
I realized that it was a dead end situation and I am much more mature than I was when we initially met. For several months God has been speaking to me about rebirth and restoration, and now that I have let go of the dead ends I am ready to receive all that He has for me. I walk firmly in my faith and I trust God. I am being patient and I have given it all to Him. Through this journey, my daughter is also learning to trust God and we pray together daily. I have even shared passages from your blog with her!
We are living in transitional housing right now, but God told me that it's only temporary. My car was repossessed and the majority of the time I walk wherever I have to go, but I do it with a song in my heart because I know that greater things are on the way.
Recently I was interacting with an online ministry, but I had to stop because the minister said that although she believed in God and knew that Jesus could perform miracles, she didn't believe that anyone's breakthrough would come through a miracle...well, the devil is a LIAR. I am waiting on my miracle. I believe in miracles, and I believe that my breakthrough is on the way. So, I ask for prayer for my child and I, that the desires of our hearts are fulfilled and that all curses ad strongholds are broken, that we will no longer be in bondage and all that has been lost and taken from us will be restored. I ask for prayer that all financial burdens are removed and that we receive prosperity and abundance.
I ask for prayer that God sees my heart and knows that I am ready to receive all He has for me and that I have good intentions. I want to help my parents and loved ones and anyone else who is in need. I don't want my daughter to know struggle and strife like I have. I ask for prayer that I am able to provide more efficiently for her.
God bless you and thank you for taking the time to pray for my situation.

Praise the Lord, Dianna
I desire that you touch and agree with me in prayer regarding a speedy return of my federal income tax. I've been waiting for approx. 8-9 weeks now and I am in desperate need of my refund.
Also pray that loved ones of mine be saved & filled with the Holy Ghost. Prayer also for my sister and brother in law who are currently homeless that the Lord bless them with permanent housing and employment for my brother in law, and salvation for my children’s father.
God Bless You.

I engaged in affair with one of my husband's friends a year ago. I feel so ashamed of my mistake. We both do. We are both married and love God. It was a moment of weakness and I let it happen. I am still struggling with the decision of whether to tell my husband about what happened. Even though time has passed by and the guy has moved out of state now, I just have this weight on my heart that the man I love still does not know. I have asked for forgiveness from God and will NEVER do it again but the secret is killing me inside and weighing heavy on my conscience. What should I do? Please pray for a resolution. This secret is too hard to keep.

Hi Dianna! I love your blogs. Thank you for the words of inspiration. I am volunteering as a youth leader at my church. I am passionate about ministering to young people. When I first got involved about a year and a half ago, I was very excited. But these kids have a lot of problems and some of us have butted heads. They are very hard to deal with. I don't run away from my calling but it seems like all hell has broken loose and I feel trapped. I guess I just need some guidance about where I go from here, or if I should just stick and out and believe God for all things to work together for my good. Thank you for your prayer!

I'll try to make this request short and sweet, but first, a little history. I wrote into the blog and asked for private prayer for a job that fits my skills and financial needs perfectly. I had been looking for about six months and didn't find anything. When you and your team prayed something opened up.
I interviewed for the position a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything back but I feel like I just KNOW the job is mine. If you and the Daily Cup family would touch and agree with me for favor that would be awesome! Thank you in advance. I'm believing God.
God, You see all the needs. You know the issues. You understand the concerns. Most of all, You are able to address and solve every single problem that presents itself in our lives. So we come to You today, asking that You would extend Your hand of help, healing, and deliverance to every person in need. No matter the situation, we trust You as our source, refuge, safe place, conqueror, and mighty deliverer. No matter how hard it is for us, there is nothing too hard for You. Thank You in advance for what we decree, by faith, as already being 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.
