I was actually in tears as I read thru these. I am so thankful we have a personal God who cares for each and every one of us and has promised to "wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the earth" Isa 25:8.
I am praying for all of you.
Personally:
-please lift up my parents and their marriage
-for healing from the sexual abuse in my past
-for God's direction as I face a time of great decision in my life
and for me to submit to His will
-for strenght and perseverance as He and I battle thru my issues and He brings me out of my depression
Blessings,

DH here, just saying that the Lord brought this particular comments section to mind again, and I'm lifting you guys up.

@Anonymous who didn't know about the trials of ministry, I hear you. I won't give you some trite comment. I hear your struggle.

@Jeffery, thank you. She has the PTSD but it's not just her problem, it's our family's. Thanks for your prayers.

So many tears, so many prayers.

The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights… and the parched ground into springs. (Isaiah 41:17-19)

I'm praying for our son to stay with us. We're adopting him thru foster care and some abusive family members are trying to get him back. It's like a knife in the heart and I'm waiting for the final blow. I'm trying to trust God with everything.

Also praying for my Hubby's job. He's self-employed and his business is not a necessity, so in this economy they're struggling.

i am anonymous @4:29. thank you for your prayers.
after being in full time ministry in the mission field, my marriage has been subjected to more trials than i could have ever imagined. my family is suffering, and i feel like god has turned his back on me.
no one tells you this kind of stuff when you are preparing to enter ministry. if they did, i bet a lot less people would do it.
i wish i could go back and make a different choice.

-As the father of the possessed child said to Jesus "I believe, but help me in my unbelief"
-The direction that God is pointing me in and my reluctance to accept it and do anything to move closer to Him or the goal
-Our church leadership and the pressure they are going through being a growing church
-Take what I've learned from "Crazy Love" and apply and not just let it be another "neat Christian book"

I'm praying for the requests that have been laid at the foot of the Cross here. Some of your requests have brought me to tears. It's my honor to intervene for you and with you...

I'm praying for the state of The Church. I work in ministry and I see "the dark side" of how churches can be when we make it about us and not about Jesus. Our time is running short and he is on the prowl. We can't afford the intra-fighting, disagreements and wasting our time on efforts that aren't Kingdom building and reaching the lost.

I am also praying for conviction for what I'm doing to be a part of the problem rather than the solution.

I'm praying for those who won't come to Christ because they reject what He offers.

I'm praying for those who aren't coming to Christ because they haven't been introduced to Him yet.

I'm praying for those who won't eat today.

I'm praying for those who feel helpless and unloved.

I'm praying for the persecuted church.

I'm praying for my daughter who will go off to school in the fall. Please let her keep listening to You Lord...
