Today we invite you to leave a prayer request.
Maybe you are in need of the touch of the Divine. Maybe your son needs healing, or for the Savior to bow low to grab his heart.
Whatever it is, there’s safety on these pages.
And love.
But we ask that you not stop with just your own request. Take the time to read the one above you and leave a prayer in written form for that precious soul too.
Let the cycle of love and lifting go on and on…
Let’s pray…
My prayer is for both of my boys to be healed of their sinus/allergy issues. My older son (2) is constantly sick with a runny nose and it’s often accompanied by a cough. He had his adenoids out about a month ago and is still getting sick. My baby (5 months) is following suit; except that he has been hospitalized twice already; once for RSV and once for pneumonia. They are both sick again right now. We took them to the doctor last Tuesday and the baby had a chest xray on Saturday to check for pneumonia again. So, we are headed to the Doctor’s office again this morning. Please pray for healing on them!!! And also, that we may get the correct medication for them to help their little bodies fight off these nasty infections. Thank you so much for the prayers. It means SO much!! I love your blog and am reading Warrior Prayers right now!!
Jesus, please bring healing to April’s boys! Give them your healing touch, and be with April and she and the doctors fight to find the *just right* way to treat their illnesses. Give April the endurance all moms need when their littles are sick!
Lord God You are our creator, pour way maker and our doctor. There is nothing that happens to any of your children that is in vain. Lord God I pray for healing and for your direction and your peace to fall upon April’s sons and her family. every time she goes into the doctor’s office i pray you will go before her to prepare the place. Everytime she enters with there sons, I pray Lord God that you will use her and her Sons to minister to others who are there for treatment. Only you know why and when, but in the midst I pray you will inform doctors and nurses on the best medical treatment for April’s sons and that you will be glorified in this situation. I pray that you will allow your ultimate will to be done as you lead April and her son’s to a place where many are unsaved. Thank you Lord God for doing the impossible and for helping APril and her family to cope in this time of sickness. This is only a season and I am grateful that they have you to depend on and to put their trust in. In your precious name we part today Lord Jesus. AMEN!!!
Lord – I lift up April’s sons and pray that you heal their little bodies. I also pray for your perfect peace for April’s mothers hearts as I know she hurts right along with those boys. Thank you for your care and your love!
My request is for my oldest, he’s 12 and the product of a relationship before my marriage. He is really struggling as he is starting to understand that his dad isn’t all he once thought him to be. He also has no confidence to be emotionally honest with his father. He broke down the other night when I mentioned saying something to the man about dealing with me directly and not using T as a middle man. He was so afraid that doing this was going to bring about worse problems for him that he was shaking in fear. My heart is so broken for my boy! I want to give him verbal tools to be forthright and honest with his dad so he doesn’t have to feel this way. This sweet boy just accepted Christ about 6 weeks ago and I ask for prayers to protect his heart, self confidence and also that I will know the best way to help him. Thanks!
Oh dear Jesus, please be with Heather as she ministers to her son. In your Spirit are strength and boldness–please remind this young man that as he is in YOU, that You are in HIM! I pray that he would continue to seek you with all his heart, and that he would remember that Your plans for him are good, and that he has a future in you!
Father,
I lift up April’s boys to you. You are the Great Physician. Please give the doctors wisdom as they treat these boys, lead them to the right treatment. We pray for peace for April and comfort and relief for her little boys.
We are in the process of adopting, it has been a long road. We need peace and wisdom…continue to wait our try to get pregnant again. We have two bio boys that are really excited to welcome a new addition.
We thought we were close to a placement a couple weeks ago, only to find that the birthmom chose a different family. This news came the same day I had a doctors appointment, I haber always ben very healthy but have ben having some thyroid issues. The first response from the doc was that it may be cancer. I am having additional tests this week. Ugh.
Thanks for your prayers.
Lord, I pray for Alison and her family in this challenging time. I pray you will shine your light even brighter in their hearts so they will not succumb to fearful emotions that can only break them down. Let their hearts be filled with thinking on what is good and true and lovely so the darkness will not have a foothold through fear and frustration and confusion. I pray that if Alison is holding cancer in her body that you would either dissolve it immediately, so that nothing remains, or that you will use it for your glory, in her, her family, and everyone around them, causing her to suffer the least amount necessary. If a baby, either bio or adopted, is the plan you have for them, give them the clarity, patience and discernment to wait on your timing that all may be blessed with such joy. Lift their hearts to you Lord so they will only become stronger through all of this. In Jesus name, Amen!
Lord, I lift up the loving MOB’s before me. Today I ask for prayer for my son Aaron. Our state begins standarized testing today and a lot of pressure is put on the kids to succeed. He’s not a traditional leaner and these types of tests are very difficult and stressful for him.
Lord – I ask you to give Aaron the strength and wisdom to get through testing today and to instill in him the confidence to succeed.
My prayer request is for my son Zach who is ADD and consistently struggles with impulsiveness and the ability to self-start. I just pray that God gives him the self-awareness to better understand how to control his body and reach his potential. Thank you for the beautiful heart You have given him and all the gifts You’ve bestowed upon him.
Thank you Father, for all the moms who come by here to pray today, and those who are leaving prayer requests. I thank you Lord that you are raising up mothers who will stand for your truth, and I ask you help us all continue to stand for you! Help us to remember that as we are in you, we have your Holy Spirit and all His blessings of boldness, strength, and perseverance!
My requests today are many, but I’ll try to be brief . . .
*My dear aunt is very ill, but won’t tell the family what’s going on, exactly. She’s having seizures, and apparently an MRI showed spots on her brain . . . but she’s not telling anyone what’s wrong.
*Our family is having challenges with a friend. Boundaries are being challenged, and the situation gets uncomfortable as this friend is also atttending our church.
*A dear friend lost her baby on April 2. Baby Isaiah was born still at 37 weeks. Pray for this family and their two young children!
*A childhood friend died 4-10. She was too sad to continue living, and sought peace on her own terms . . . her family are devastated.
*My husband is training for a new position at work, which means a shift change in about two weeks. We are excited for this opportunity to have him home more during the day, since we homeschool, but this means I will have to leave my volunteer position at our church on Wednesday nights and I’m really sad about that.
Lord God I am here today to ask for prayer for each and everyone of my children as they enter this season of standardized testing please give them peace, and help the work diligently through the test not tiring of doing the work, but with stamina to the very end. Zion struggles with his handwriting and Lord I am praying for you to guide his hand as he does his test so that his handwriting will be legible and you will help him organize his thoughts and focus as he goes through the tests.
Lord God I pray for Eliakim and Malachi that they will not rush through the test but will be compelled to work through doing the best job they can do. Lord God I pray for patience for myself and my husband as we raise our 4 sons : malachi, zion, Eliakim, Zephaniah and our daughter: Kailah. We are desperate for help.
Lord allow our children to find their fit in church , help me to return to church and bring my children with me so they too can learn about you and fellowship with the saints.
Lord God transform their minds and help them to work together and stop fighting everyday.
Lord God give my children boldness in you, a love for your word, and a desire to pray to you share themselves with you and to depend on you for all that they need.
Help me to love my children and for them to love each other with an unbreakable bond
heal zion of his attention difficulties and give our children forgiving hearts and minds
Lord- please place your healing hand on all these children and their parents. You know every need…not just the specific things they have asked for here. I pray for healing and peace for all of them too.
My request is for both of my boys. They are in a school full if bullying and kids with no respect for authority. It is really close to me pulling them out. But, I know these boys need to be here to let Jesus’ light shine to those who need it. I just pray my boys are strong enoigh to fight off the attempts from the devil to be like the others. The whole school needs prayed for.
My oldest needs prayer for his reading level. He is way behind but tests reallt high when read to.
My youngest…has celiac disease. I pray daily for his tummy to be protected and that nothing I feed him harms his stomach. And that he is strong and confident and doesnt care that he is eating differently.
Thank you!
Requesting prayer for our son, who has gotten into trouble with the law. Pls pray that he’d .onfess nd repent, north he’s find favor with the authorities so that he continue with his goal of going into the army.
Loving Father, I lift up Ceil’s son and ask You to use all the power of heaven, the same power that raised Your Son from the dead, to move in his heart and cause him to repent and turn to You. Father, You see his past & his future and Your plans for him are good. We thank You in the Name of Jesus for what You’re doing in his life and through the prayers of his faithful mama. In Jesus’s Name. Amen.
Brooke McGlothlin´s last [type] ..what happens when women sit around the table
Father God, I pray for Ceil and her son, that you would show up with skin on in his life. Send Men of God in his dealings with law enforcement to speak Life and Light into his heart, to point him to the cross, and to encourage him into the man you’ve designed him to be. Send peace to Ceil’s heart that you love her son even more than she does and you have a way of grafting these seeming detours into our life story and purpose. We wait and watch for Your plan to be revealed in his life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Hi friends. May I ask for prayer today too?
1. Today marks the fifth anniversary of the horrific Virginia Tech shootings. 32 people were killed that day including a friend of my family. My husband was a first responder to the scene and saw horrible things you wouldn’t even want to know about. Please pray for all those affected and still mourning this great loss.
2. I woke up this morning with terrible pain up the back of my shoulder and neck. Please pray for relief?
Thank you!

Lord I ask that you give Allie’s Aunt healing, that you give her family strong boundaries and help their friend respect their boundaries, I ask for peace and strenght for the family of Baby Isaiah who you took into your loving arms, I ask that you give her childhood friend’s family the strength to find peace in this world and I pray for Allie’s family as they transition into a new time in their lives, in Jesus name I pray.
I ask for prayers from my teenage son who has Type 1 diabetes and struggles daily with emotional and physical issues of this devasting disease. Please help my son accept the disease so he will care for himself when I am not with him. I ask that his body and mind be healed and that he finds the peace he so needs to successfully navigate through his teenage years. In Jesus name I pray.
Father God, You are the God who sees and the God who heals. I pray for Betty and her son. We continually pray for his healing of this disease through a miracle. But if it be your will that he walk with this thorn, we ask that you send ministering angels to remind him and encourage him through each day to make good choices that take care of his temple. Send friends to walk alongside him so it is a walk filled with joy and laughter instead of loneliness. Strengthen the connection between him and any Life-breathing influences in his life that he sees and feels your touch in his daily life. We thank you and praise you in advance for his testimony to your Glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
I pray for Betty’s son, and for his struggle with diabetes. Lord, we pray for your grace upon this child’s life to bear up under the challenges of this disease. Help him to become vigilant in caring for his body and managing the disease. I pray that he would come to understand that our trials come from the hand of a loving and faithful God who will use them to mature us, draw us to Christ, and to bring glory to Himself. Ultimately, Lord, I pray for this young man’s healing, and that the disease would not progress. In Jesus’ name.
I ask for prayer for my two adolescent sons on the autism spectrum. One son is mildly challenged, but is struggling with displaying appropriate social skills and maturity in his teen years. The other is more autistic, and I ask for prayer that I will be able to effectively homeschool him, and find the right supports to meet his needs. Thank you.
Lord, I pray for Michele’s two sons. I pray that her first son is able to overcome his struggles, Lord, and that you guide him and teach him social skills and maturity. Lord, I pray for her other son to thrive in the homeschool environment. Father, please help Michele find the support to meet his needs Lord and for their needs to not only be met but far exceeded. In your heavenly name I pray, Amen.
Prayer request: I have three sons, twins age 6 and baby 4 months. Baby has been harder as a single than the twins were! 1-My husband and I need a revelation of how to meet his needs. 2-We would love for him to settle and be a happy baby. And 3-I need prayer for wisdom and to discern if I need medical help for postpartum depression or if this is just exhaustion/an opportunity to wait for a spiritual breakthrough. Thanks.
Dear Mighty Lord– I pray for Melinda’s needs as she transitions in caring for three children now. I pray you will bless their family with wisdom in her own physical needs. Please bless her with good sleep. I pray you will send someone into her world to help her. I pray for the baby to settle into a routine and be happier. Lord, please give her hope.
I would request that my son, Calvin would be accepted into the Christian private school. It is currently full for 7th grade but I pray that something would open up for him to join his brother there in the fall. He is currently homeschooled but struggles being the only child home with me. Thank you-
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for Cathy and her son, Calvin. Lord, I pray that you bless her and her son. I pray that the Christian private school has an opening and Calvin is accepted there. Lord, I pray he thrives and excels in this new school setting. Let all of his struggles fall to the wayside. Father, I pray for Calvin’s future and that he grows to be the man of God you would have him to be. In your heavenly name, Lord, Amen.
I am seeking prayers for my son, Joshua, to not feel anxiety and stress like he does. Pray that he can enjoy his last month and a half of school this year. He is struggling with his teacher, who he thinks does not like him at all. He is sensitive and his feelings are hurt daily when she cuts him off or singles him out to scold.
Heavenly Father, I lift Joshua up that the Holy Spirit would give him peace in his heart that He is special because he is Yours. I pray to encourage Leslie as she nurtures Joshua with Your love and guidance in helping Joshua be confident in himself as a child of God and that his sensitive heart will be used to encourage others and show others love when they need it to.
My prayer requests are for encouragement to continually seek God’s grace, mercy and love so that I am more patient and nurturing with my boys, not just a disciplinarian, but an encourager to build them up as the men of God they can be.
I need prayer for my twin teenage boys. They refuse to listen to household rules even having all priviledges take from them. Please pray the make wise choices, Godly friends and truly start seeking God. I have been very discouraged over the last year and the decisions they have been making. Please pray that I handle sin and discipline in a loving way.
Loving Father, Please be with Crystal and help her raise up her boys with patience and a firm hand. We know you have warned us that if we spare the rod we will ruin the child, but at times it is so difficult to encounter the opposition constantly before us. Please help Crystal and all of us parents to rely on you for strength and guidance, and courage to continue in your way. Through Christ I pray, Amen.
I ask your prayers to be with my 16 year old son. He has not yet obeyed the gospel and is falling farther and farther from the word. His heart is very far from God and he makes a big stink about attending worship. He is discouraging me along with breaking my heart, because I have raised him in the church, but mostly I fear for his soul. He is driving now, and his safety is quite often in the hands of others. I pray that our Lord will open up my son’s heart so he will see that he needs Him and will take action while he still can. Thank you, and I will continue to pray for all of us mothers trying to raise godly men.
Pam, I’ll pray for your son.
Lord, please help Pam’s son come to You. Let him understand the importance of eternity; let him understand the importance of obeying You (and his mom). Lord, keep him safe as he travels on his own and with others. Lord, I also pray for Pam. I pray for her patience, her consistency, and her drawing close to You. Lord, let her not be discouraged but encouraged because of Your promise. You said that whatever we start, you will continue on in the name of Jesus (I know that’s seriously paraphrased). Lord, you know her heart, you know her son’s heart, I ask that they both be Yours.
Randi´s last [type] ..Train Like a Mother (review)
I need prayer for this week. I leave next Monday for an 8 day mission trip in the Phillipines. I’ve never left my boys this long (they’re 2 and 4) and I’m overwhelmed by the amount to do before I leave and actually leaving them. Their daddy is taking a few days off from work and the other days I’m leaving them with a friend who has 3yo twins (boy/girl). Her husband will be with my group on the trip, so I’m sure she could use prayer to not be overwhelmed herself.
Randi´s last [type] ..Train Like a Mother (review)
Heavenly Father,
We lift up to you Pam’s son…please protect him as he is out and about…please help him to know that ONLY YOU satisfy his longings…please draw him close to You with Your irresistible grace and love. Give Pam Your words as she goes day by day with this boy…give her a verse to cling to during these tough places and days…and help her to trust You with this boy. In Jesus’ name…Amen
I would LOVE prayer for my boy too…he is almost 16 and has a deep wound somewhere that has caused him to really shut down with his family. I think this is mostly between him and his Daddy…and I would ask that he would be able to talk to us and heal…he has turned to drugs and alcohol…questionable friends and vile music to try to cope…and satisfy his deepest longings…what he doesn’t realize right now is that ONLY JESUS satisfies…
God has been very merciful to me and I HAVE SEEN my wounded warrior on the other side of this…on fire for the Lord and with a ministry because of what he has gone through…but it hurts to watch…
Thank you for your prayers!
Carrie´s last [type] ..Meal Planning Monday
Lord, I lift up Carrie’s son to you, that he will quickly become aware that all the stuff he is trying to fill his God-sized hole with will only make the hole bigger. Please protect him as he makes harmful decisions to himself and his family and protect his parents’ hearts that they will be open to him, no matter what offenses he does until he comes to You. Please keep calling him to where he can no longer ignore You. Please let him see Your love for him through Your children.
I ask for prayers for my 2 children. We live on a culdesac with many children. They choose to bully my children. Breaks my heart because one of the reasons I chose to homeschool was to avoid bullying. Now I struggle with having love towards these children. I have to keep reminding myself that it is not the kids’ faults for how they are being raised and whatever influences they are subject to attending school.
Thank you SO much for having this prayer day so we can all pray for each other and feel encouraged by God’s work through the power of prayer.
My prayer request today is for patience and trust. I have 3 young boys (a 5 year-old and twins that just turned 3). I work full-time and often find myself perplexed and guilt-ridden about not having the financial ability to stay home with my boys right now. My boys are very active and vocal about how they feel (a blessing that I have 3 healthy, strong boys); but I often find myself in power struggles with them — yelling when I should be loving or stressing when I should just be giving it to God. I feel stressed with the everyday struggles of motherhood and then the guilt about not having more time with them. I could go on and on, but I will stop there… I just pray for patience during the stress and for trust in God’s plan for our family. Thank you!
Dear Lord… I pray for Stephanie right now… and that you would give her peace in the midst of all these challenges. Father God, ease her guilt… don’t let her buy into the belief that she is not a good mother… instead encourage her and remind her she is a great mom who loves her kids and is willing to sacrifice to care and provide for their needs. Help her spend quality time with her boys and enjoy them. Not worrying about the dishes or laundry… just loving and playing with her sons. Momma guilt is the worst… so I ask you Lord, show Stephanie how to leave that at the altar of your feet. Give her patience and to trust you, as well as her instincts. Thank you Jesus!
Michelle Brinson´s last [type] ..God Loves Broken People
Father… I am praying for my own little guy today… Jadon is 2 1/2… and full of life, energy and passion. He wasn’t feeling so good today and I hated leaving him at school. I’m a single mom… so this is extra hard. I love him with all my heart. Yet I too struggle with a lot of the same feelings as Stephanie. I get upset, I yell… and then I get so mad at myself for losing my patience. God, in the midst of all these struggles, right now I’m asking for courage, wisdom and strength to make good decisions, to be calm, to trust you and to be filled with JOY! My HOPE is in YOU LORD… all the day long!
Michelle Brinson´s last [type] ..God Loves Broken People
Lord, I ask that you would heal Jadon’s body and give both him and Michelle Your comfort today. Remind Jadon throughout the day of how much You love him and how much his mom loves him because of Your love for her. Thank you for giving Michelle a place to confess, to be real. Please give her tangible signs of your constant love and forgiveness today. I ask in the name of Jesus and in agreement with her, that you would give her courage, wisdom and strength. Renew your mighty Spirit within her and let the fruits flow through her life, bringing you glory through her actions and decisions. Because of the promise of eternal life in you, the Holy, most perfect Triune God, we have hope that surpasses all understanding. Days may be hard but as you guide each step of Michelle and Jadon’s life, I pray that you would let the big picture ultimately glorify you. Thank you, Lord for your desire to love us in the midst of our failures and for giving us the Comforter to teach, guide and counsel us. May Michelle depend on Him for her strength today and remember that you love her and her baby boy more than she can comprehend! In Jesus’ name-AMEN
I appreciate your prayers today. My lab results are showing a hyper-thyroid and I know my adrenals are shot after baby number 6. I’m falling behind on just about everything and failing at giving my kids the grace that God has given me. We’re in the midst of some changes and I pray that the Spirit would speak strongly to my husband and give him the strength and peace he needs in these decisions. I’m tired and selfish and weak and have boys that I can’t keep up with. Thank you!
Pray today that all my children but especially my oldest would turn all his work over to the Lord and rely on Him to help him do his best and give God glory.
Lord, I pray for Stephanie today, wow I know that weary feeling. Give her your strength today Lord and show her that you do all things in your time not ours. Guide her husband in the decisions he needs to make and give the whole family peace!
Dear Jesus watch over Katherine’s oldest son and guide him in Your ways.
Today I ask for prayers for my 2.5 year old son Jackson who has a seizure disorder that has not been controlled for over a year. He is developmentally delayed, can’t talk and has to wear a helmet to protect his head. I so badly want him to be healed so he can enjoy his childhood.
Oh Heavenly Father I lift up Jeannie’s Jackson to you. That you may heal him and allow him to find joy in his childhood. I pray also for Jeannie that you give her strength as she cares for and loves the blessing you gave her in Jackson.
I am looking for prayers for patience as I am finding myself growing angry over the little nothings that little boys do that get under mom’s skin (running through the house, never using “inside” voices, etc.) I am looking for patience to be the mom that accepts the energy of boys and can help calm it when necessary without resorting to shouting or anger.

Meaghan´s last [type] ..Arrowroot cookies and a coconut
Lord we lift up Melissa to you. May you fill her with your patience and overwhelming love for her energetic boys. Lord we know that many of us mothers are in need of this patience and grace to accept the energy of our boys and to be calm. Help her to catch herself before she feels overwhelmed and angry.
I too need patience and help with my boys. I am struggling to keep calm especially with my almost 4 year old. He is like a teenager trapped in a little body. He constantly has a bad attitude and is rude to us all the time. He seems to be always frustrated or angry about some little thing. Which he takes out physically on us and his little brother. If he are strict it makes it worse, but being kind and patient all day long is draining for all of us. We want to help him learn to express himself properly but my husband and I feel worn out by it all.
Meaghan´s last [type] ..Arrowroot cookies and a coconut
Meaghan, I can completely relate! I have said the same thing about my own almost 4-year old. The attitude, rudeness and just huffiness of a teenager are exhausting! He has a 1-year old little brother that he is mostly loving and patient with but has even let him know when he is frustrated by biting! We have found that separating him from the two of us makes a difference because, although he behaves as if he can’t stand me, he does not like to be removed from the room where his brother and I are playing. It is tough but we will survive with God’s grace!
Dear Lord, please watch over Meaghan and her family. They all need your spirit and grace in their hearts and home. Meaghan and her husband need you, Lord, to give strength and patience as they train and lead their young 4 year old. I also pray that you will soften the heart of their sweet son, so he is receptive to their instruction, as he transitions through this season. Thank you God for blessing Meaghan with a wonderful family! In your name I pray, Amen.
As most moms have posted, I would love a prayer for strength, patience and guidance. I have two boys, (almost) 4 and 1 who are on the go constantly. I need to be able to find ways to tap into that energy, especially when we can’t go outside, so that our days are more successful. I also feel like I am being led to change jobs. I have a good job that allows me to work from home. However, it is not working well for my family and adds to my stress level- which effects the entire home. I have the opportunity for a different job, part time, that would allow for me to be home almost all day, but with a slight pay cut. I ask that you pray that I am able to let it all go to God and that I am receptive to his answers. Thank you!
Oh, Bonnie, I know exactly what you mean! I have two boys age 4 and 2 so I can relate. I will pray for patience and strength for you. MOBs need a lot of both!
It’s one of my daily requests.
Lord, please help Bonnie be patient and strength for the task as a MOB! Give her your guidance so she can raise up these boys to know you and love you! Help her also to see your will in the decision she has to make. Help her see which is the right choice for her and her family, and give her peace with that decision.
I have been struggling to come to terms with a miscarriage I had three weeks ago. Please pray for healing from this grief. I still cry about it every day, but it’s getting better. I just keep asking why, why, why? We’ve been wanting another child for a while now, and when I finally get pregnant, God takes him to heaven…

I have a request! My husband and I are praying about relocating. The thought of it is so exciting to me and I have my hopes up, while my husband is more reasonable. He wants to move but he wants to really think and pray about it before we make a decision.
Just praying that God’s plan for our family lines up with our desires but if it doesn’t that all doors would be slam shut. In Jesus name!
