Earlier today, I had an outdoor photo shoot with some colleagues. Just before leaving, I headed over to one of the women whom
I had not seen in quite a while. She has been ill for some time, but was in
great spirits and remaining upbeat.
We talked and prayed together.
Then, before parting, she asked how my mother was doing. The last she had heard, Mom was battling breast cancer and having a rough time.
“She’s 100% whole and doing great,” I told her, smiling. She was pleased to hear the news as we talked about the faithfulness of God.
I let her know I was standing in faith with her for total healing as well.
Right there, we touched and agreed, and I am believing the Lord to make her completely whole again.
He’s able.
He can do anything.
If God healed my mother who could not continue her chemo treatments for Triple Negative cancer because they were literally making her sicker, He can do the same for anyone else.
I know that chemotherapy, radiation, prescriptions drugs, and other methods of curing illness are helpful. God often works through doctors' hands to administer healing. But He doesn’t necessarily need anyone’s help.
He is able to speak a word in our lives and situations, no matter what we are facing.
On this “Thoughtful Thursdays,” as we set aside space here on the blog for intercessory prayer, join me in believing God for those who are requesting His help.
Whatever the issue, we know that, together, as we connect our faith, God can do the impossible.
Please join me in praying for the following people:

To find my purpose that God has for me, and to accept whatever His will is for me and my life, a lot of health issues and my body is just tired of pills waking up and going to bed, insulin the same thing. Dealing with the issues of my husband, being a Veteran of the military, PTSD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, and past family issues, Drug addictions, alcohol addictions, and so forth.

My name is Roselande, a single parent who is feeling the ups and downs of life. I purchased a lemon from a gentlemen back in March. The engine blew two weeks of purchase. I've been trying to get justice but to no avail. Now, this not having a car is interfering with my job which is an hour and 45 minutes away from home. I have to catch 4 buses. I've been missing work and been looking for something closer, but no one seems to be hiring these days. Furthermore, my transfer has stalled for a little over a year. Pray with me that I get some kind of breakthrough. I'm starting to lose hours and I cannot call out anymore. I’m running out of funds to get to and from work. Do please come in agreement with me.

Please pray for me as I enter into my senior year of college. I have been battling the lure of sexual sin and feelings of overall inadequacy. I seek to develop an even closer relationship in God and faith in myself.

Pray for my inner man. I want to overcome negative self talk. I need to know my strengths, abilities, gifts, talents, competencies. I want to overcome low self-esteem, and low confidence. I want the gift of humor when appropriate and not take things seriously or literally when someone is being humorous, I want God to bless my mind. I need blessed, favorable employment and direction for my life. I am alone and am not dealing with it too well. I have made bad decisions with men due to loneliness which have caused other problems. I want to be loved. I pray for God's forgiveness. I want to be a blessing to others but my issues get in the way. I am tired of being this way. I have been praying for years. I feel left behind. I am 48, never been married and no children. God has blessed me in many ways but I must be doing something wrong. I feel I am not the woman I should be. I want to get unstuck. I desire goals, hopes, aspirations with increments of achievement. I don't know why I don't aspire for anything. I need some manifestation of some of my desires. That will keep me encouraged.

I am
requesting prayer for my Aunt who will be having back surgery in two weeks to
fix lower nerves in her spine which has been causing her tremendous pain. She
will be out of work for up to six months and I'm asking for the Lord to help
her maintain her finances by providing for her and easing her worries about
paying various bills, rather focusing on her health and getting better.
My next request is for my finances. I have never been a great manager w/my
money. I once experienced being homeless so now that I'm not any longer, my way
of thinking is to make sure I buy all the food, and get things I need/think I
need in hopes to never run dry of these things. In return, I end up always
scrapping up funds to pay my light bill, phone, and rent at the end of the
month. I've even joined mint.com
and tried setting up a budget for myself, but again, with no prevail, I break
it and find myself right back into the financial strain. I need to budget
properly and I want someone to help me as far as holding me accountable.
My last request is for my walk with Christ to be strengthened. I don't pray as
often as I should. I feel like my days are the same, get up, say a quick
prayer, get ready for work, work, then come home, cook, shower, and off to bed.
My life is so boring and it seems like when I pray for happiness and excitement
I never receive it -the way I think I should, so I've strayed away from praying
and reading my Word like I use to. I feel as if I'm seeking something that is
running away from me-fast, and my strength is growing weary in that department.
Ladies, please uplift my mind as you pray.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to read my request and pray for me. I
do appreciate it very much.
God bless u all ...you're doing an Awesome job on this site!!

My daughter and I (and others) are in prayer for my oldest daughter. She is married to a man who is only a husband and father on paper. No support, just shows up now and then. Her mother-in-law are helping her with her three beautiful daughters. But it's time for her to wake up and rebuild the stability she's used to. She has been a teacher for 5 years but had to quit due to her last child being born. That was a year ago, and it's time for her to rebuild with another job, get back on her feet and get established. She has to raise her self-esteem and realize the truth about the man. She needs to trust God that HE is going to make the difference in her life.
God, every need, request and outcry is already know by You. There is nothing You cannot handle. All power is in Your hands. So today, we look to You to meet the needs of these, Your people, who have come boldly to Your throne, seeking Your help. We believe that it is already done according to our faith and above all else, Your will. 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.
