We are hit with a plethora of trials, difficult circumstances and temptations. Adversity comes at us from every angle, leaving us wondering whether we’re coming or going sometimes.
Family struggles, relationship issues, financial hardships, career setbacks, business failures, physical ailments, and the eventualities of life come to knock us down.
How in the world are we supposed to stand up under that kind of pressure, keep a smile on our faces, and stay in peace?
Even though it is implausible to the world, being joyous and calm in extenuating circumstances is far from impossible for Believers.
The reason we can relax when everything around us is going crazy, is because we know we have a Savior, a High Priest, a God who is on the throne and very much in control. On our own life is too much to handle, but with Him on our side, all things are possible.
So today, whatever you are dealing with, give it to God. Let Him work it out. It is too much for you, but poses no challenge at all for the Master.
What sense does it make to work yourself up, get into a funk, and settle into a pit of despair over something you can’t change anyway? After you’ve done all you can, stand in faith in God’s word, knowing that He’ll work all things together for your good.
Today, collectively, we are interceding for someone else on this “Thoughtful Thursdays.” Please take a moment to read every single request and send a prayer up. You would certainly want someone to do that for you if you were in need, amen?
We know that God is more than able. So we activate our faith and “touch and agree” for a mighty move of God.

Hi Dianna and prayer team. My name is Tracy Scott. I am a 33 year old mother of 2. You prayed for me a week ago before I went in for one of my checkups for a thyroid issue. When I got the results, the doctor took me off medication and I feel so much better.
Thank you for your prayers. I am currently awaiting results for a colposcopy and biopsy due to an ultrasound showing a thick lining around my cervix and abnormal pap smear. I am asking for your prayers that the results do not show anything pre-cancerous or cancer.
Please pray my health be fully restored. I know he hears our prayers, so, please pray that my faith be strengthened and that God will help me not to worry and trust in him that the outcome will be a good one. I thank you all who pray for me in advance.

I have a big problem with fear and anxiety. I would like you to pray for me that I will keep walking forward with God, and stop look back and questioning him. Also, that I will learn to be a godly parent and not a friendly parent. I have six children, five are grown and one teenager. With my first five, I drank a lot. I have been sober now for a year so everything now is very fearful to me.

For the first time in a long time I am stepping out on faith and leaving my job, my family and relocating to another city. I am nervous and scared but feel that the change is needed in order for me to flourish. I ask that you pray for me as I leave it in his hands and try my best not to worry.

I need your prayer support as I have been facing lots of financial problems for many years. I am in prayer but I don’t know why this is happening with me. It has become very hard to return the balance amount. Day by day the amount is increasing. My earning is little and my monthly amount of repaying is VERY BIG. I try to earn more but it is not possible. I am unable to manage these big amounts. Please pray for favor that a financial miracle may come my way soon. I don’t ask for more than what I need from Lord. I just need the right amount to clear all my debts.
The money matters have affected me emotionally. It has drained me. Because of this, I have sleepless nights and can't help but to worry too much. Please pray for wisdom and guidance to handle every trial, circumstance and every difficult situation that I face each day. Please pray to bind the enemy from holding back the funds needed to pay off my debt and from the curse of financial bondage. It has affected my relationship with family. I don’t know what to do. Please pray that Lord would grant me a miracle to able to stand again and recover from this trouble and burden.
I need the Lord Jesus Christ to remove all the curses, debts, legal matters pending court cases and all bondages from my life , I feel disappointed and restless due all these things , please! Pray for blessings, protection and the Lord’s favor in my life.
Also, please pray for my daughter. She is suffering from thyroid disease causing obesity I will be very thankful for your prayers and support.
Father, You have the power to right every wrong, calm every fear, dry every tear, and perfect everything that concerns us. Today, we humbly, yet boldly, come before Your throne of grace. We need Your favor, mercy, help and power to invade the lives of these Your people. Replace mourning with joy, anxiety with peace, sin with forgiveness and a cloak of righteousness, and human limitation with supernatural power.Stretch out Your hand of healing and deliverance, and minister to the needs of Your people as only You can.
We thank You right now Father, and believe by faith that it is done according to Your will and perfect plan. In Jesus’ name, amen.
