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 son is going away tomorrow for sleep away camp for the first time. I’m praying for his safety. I’m also praying that he learns more responsibility. Thanks
Stephanie–Praying this will be beneficial for your son

Dear Lord, please be with Stephanie’s son as he ventures out on his new adventure and please be with his precious Mama as she lets him go to grow his wings a little bit. May the entire camp be a blessing to her child!!

My oldest son, Benjamin is a sweet, kind boy who is also persistent and quite in-flexible. When he wants to do or not do something, he digs his heels in and just resists. His persistent and agrumentative approach to almost anything is wearing me down and causing tension between my husband and I as well as upsetting my younger son. I am really trying to break the will but not crush his spirit. The past few days have been almost unbearable. Please pray with me that he will have experience a heart change. He is approaching 10 years old – this just can’t continue.
I understand about not wanting to crush his spirit, and my son is only 2. Praying for wisdom, insight, and peace for your family

Praying for you right now. My 3rd son (7years old) is EXTREMELY strong willed. He’s the one that sticks his little nose up in the air and says, “No I won’t!” He also gives me the best cuddles and loves the most openly.
Oh Lord, you know what is needed her and you can help to soften Benjamin’s heart towards his family and show him how to obey. Lord, help them to understand how to reach him so that he can be a stress-free part of their family. Please rain your blessings upon this worn-out family.

My husband’s father had a heart attack on Sunday night – he is doing well, and it looks like he will make a full recovery. However, the biggest disappointment for my very active 4-year-old son Zachary is that Grandma and Grandpa were schedule to come next week for a week of family camp (we live and work at a Christian camp) – all summer long when he would ask to do something I didn’t have the energy to try with him, a 2 1/2 year old, and a 12-month-old, I would say, “We can’t today, but we’ll do that when Grandma and Grandpa are here for family camp!” And now those plans have fallen through. Thankfully I have a friend here this week, along with her husband and son, and they are going to try to enjoy family camp activities this week while my husband is with his family. Please pray that my son will be able to enjoy camp as well as for my husband’s family.

I am glad that your father-in-law is doing well, in spite of his MI. Praying your son can still enjoy camp in spite of your father-in-law’s health and healing for your father-in-law
keltrinswife´s last [type] ..Have you taken your spouse on a guilt trip?
Feeling overwhelmed with finances. Things keep coming up. I am having oral procedure/surgery the end of this month and I am scared—scared because the cost and physical recovery. Also, my son’s development. He is delayed in speech and currently has therapy, but also in other areas. I am discouraged. Lastly(sorry, I am needy:)), we would like to relocate to FL, but God doesn’t seem like He wants us there. If he does, we need peace and clarity and if He doesn’t, then help in delighting in His will ( I know that is best).
Praying moms have a good day and be blessed:)

Joshua 1:9 has been on my heart this morning – I needed to hear it myself, and I pray it will encourage you, too.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

This post could not have come at a more perfect time. My 3-year old son will be going into the hospital one week from today for a heart catheterization. He was born with a severely broken heart and this is just one of the many procedures he’s had and will continue to endure. As he gets older, it gets easier to explain what’s happening to him, but harder to manage the emotions. Prayers for a successful procedure, peace that passes our understanding, and a quick recovery are so deeply appreciated.
joye´s last [type] ..From the Mouth of my Babe – Volume 7
Dear Lord, please be with Joye’s child during his procedure, please guide the hands of those working on his heart and lift his family up and strengthen them as they wait for it to be finished. Ease their fears Lord, help them to turn to you for comfort and give them peace that surpasses all understanding!
Mindy´s last [type] ..Sick Day: August 6, 2012
I pray for Joye’s son, and the surgery he will be facing. As a mother of a son who is also often unwell, I understand. Lord, give this family peace, and show how strong your hand is around them in all that goes on in this little boys life. Show your power in all the outcomes to come down the road with this little boys heart.
I ask prayer for my 9 year old son today. After years of tummy pain we finally had testing done this year, and the results were there is nothing wrong. That was April. Since last THursday, he has thrown up 20 times, cant eat, and its not a bug, just his tummy stuff. He cant take his meds and he throws up for 30 mins after eating anything, so no real food. Praying for wisdom, do we call the doc (he is 3 hrs away) or do we ride it out…what to do?
Father you who knows even the number of hairs on our heads, You alone know what this young man is suffering from even if the Drs cant find it. The bible also says that you took up all our infirmities. Please stretch your hand and touch this young man and heal him.
Oh my heart! Your poor little boy. Has your doctor talked to you at all about going to Mayo Hospital or some other research hospital. If they can’t figure out what’s wrong maybe someone else can. Praying you are able to find some answers to relieve your son’s suffering.
Oh how horrible Katherine. I’m praying for you, and since your note seems to ask a questions, I feel like I need to share with you to look into Crohn’s Disease. I know many who have been healed of it by changing their diet, (even though the medical community says there is no cure). A Christian man, Jordan Rubin, has a wonderful book and testimony about how he came back from it. Again, praying for you and your son, trusting God knows what he needs.
I’m so sorry to hear this.
My friend’s young son just went through something similar, and they found out that he was having an intermittent paralysis of his intestines. But they had to do lots and lots of testing at the Children’s Hospital to find that out. I’m praying that an answer is found for your son’s tummy issues.
I’m at the Dentist and terrified. Prayers please.
Father, I’m praying for Heather at the dentist, that her fears will go away and that you will comfort and protect her through the procedures.
My prayer request for my boys is that while the are away at camp this week, that they will see the love of God from their counselors and it will move their hearts. I’m praying for their health and safety and that attitudes and behaviors that need to be changed will be. I’m praying that while they are away, I will break out of my “quick to anger” and yelling habit, and be ready to embrace them with grace-full parenting when they return.
Lisa, I totally understand the ‘quick to anger’ and yelling habit, and that is something that I share with you. I pray for you, and for me, to have a more patient spirit with our children – and that when your boys return home from camp, not only will they be changed, but that their momma will be changed as well.
Dear lord, I pray you heal Katherine’s son and give the family much peace. Almighty and loving Lord, if this isn’t your will please help the doctors find the cause to his pain while filling all of the family with your comfort and peace.
Please pray for my 16 yo son who ran away 15 days ago. Bullying was a major reason for his actions. I am very worried.
Thank you.
Dear Lord: I pray for Marie’s son who has run away. Bullying is such a terrible destroyer of the hearts and minds of far too many young people in our country. I pray for his protection and that you will make yourself known to him – that he will return home safely and find healing and a new start away from those who’ve tormented him. Give his mother peace as she waits and looks for her son. You are able to do more than we can imagine and we lift this young man to you!!

I’m so sorry Marie, I’m praying for you.
Please pray for me and my 21 month old precious son. He has started showing when he’s realllly angry and it seems the littlest thing that is a “no” takes him from happy boy to screaming trying to throw things boy. My pediatrician says it is a normal part of his development, but some of our days seem TOOOO filled with “nos” so I am looking for resources for making our days full of activity and “yes” more than “no” and also guidance for how to best help him learn how to deal with his emotions. He is so smart and has such insight into his little world and wants so bad to be “big” and gets just so frustrated.

We are trying to find a new church. We’e feeling a bit gun shy, but finally got our nerve up to start our search in earnest. We haven’t gone any where since May. Sunday, I’m going to check out a place on my own. We have some special needs and I want to check out the environment before the whole family goes.
Is there an August prayer calendar? or am I just missing it? Thanks!!
We are having an issue with our DD. She is 10 and a very negative and manipulative child. Yesterday we found out that while at her grandparents for 8 days this summer she told them what an awful mother I was. So much so, that my FIL felt compelled to call my husband and let him know. She has done this before with my side of the family-however we were led to believe that they were actually saying these things to her-not the other way around. We are just at a loss. We are a homeschooling family and are now considering placing her in a private school as she causes so much stress during our day and constantly picks on her younger brother. We do not attend a church and I do not have any Christian friends. Prayers are greatly appreciated!

My oldest son is at his first high school church camp. Praying that his walk with God gets even stronger and that he makes good new friendships. My husband and I are going to a conference for 3 days and will be leaving our other 3 children with my parents. I’ve been really feeling unsettled about this because my parents have so much on their plate I am afraid that my kids’ safety will be compromised. Please pray for the children’s safety as well as my parents while we are away. Thank you!
I’d love prayer for our son. We’ve had struggles with him for years, and recently learned that he was effected by his immunizations and is autistic like when it comes to his emotions. Our family seems to be falling apart and we could use prayer for healing (for our son’s brain as well as our family), restorations, love and forgiveness. Also that my husband and son would have a closer relationship. Thank you, I’m grateful.
My newborns schedule is totally backwards and he’s been up from 1 till almost 6 cluster feeding the last 4 nights. I am praying for rest for all of us, and for God’s grace that I can be kind and gentle with my toddler when I feel like I am going to fall over from exhaustion and he’s dumped his toys out again.
Husband is jobless. As I look for ways to show him my respect and to teach that respect to our son (4 yr old) I find myself struggling. I have to work full time even though my desire is to be home, lots of disappointment for my hubby that WANTS to provide and for myself that WANTS to be home with the kiddos. Please pray for a job for hubby and that I would find ways to demonstrate honor and respect for him even while he can’t provide financially for us.
My son had a little situation/misunderstanding happen in Jiu Jitsu. He might be getting kicked out. Jiu Jitsu is the best thing for my son. Please be in prayer with me that they will have mercy and grace on him. We are going to talk with the instructors later today.
We are also starting chelation therapy tomorrow. Be in agreement with me that this will be the answer we have been waiting for.
God, I pray for Angela’s son and the situation and misunderstanding he had in his Jiu Jitsu class. I pray that there would be forgiveness if or where that is needed and understanding and grace. Help Angela to be able to work things out with wisdom and love and help her son to be able to stay in the class. I also pray that the new therapy they are starting with her son would really work and be helpful to him and all their family. Bless Angela, in Jesus name I pray. Amen!
I need prayer for our middle son R. He has always been a little more demanding than his brothers but over the last few months he has been having a LOT of emotional outbursts at home and at preschool. He also has a ton of allergies (environmental and food) and is probably hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and those seem to be getting worse and are probably all inter-connected. He is with my parents on a special trip and had a huge blow up while with my Mom yesterday while they were out. She works with young kids so she handled the situation well and she’s used to R’s melt downs but this was a whole new level and it has us all concerned about what is going on with him.
R starts Kindergarten in two weeks and I am SO concerned for his behavior there and how it will effect him in the classroom, academically and also with his classmates and teacher.
We need a lot of wisdom as we try to figure out what is going on with our son and a lot of grace to parent him through all of this.
God, I lift up Rebekah’s son R to you. Please protect him from people that don’t understand. Please provide the medical, educational, and parental guidance that he needs to be the whole person you created him to be. Please give his physicians wisdom to help his physical needs most. Please give his teachers wisdom & understanding to provide the educational background that R will need to learn the best. Please be with his parents and family as they seek your guidance and love R the best they can. And please be with his classmates, help them be understanding and compassionate with R, and see him for the wonderful person that he is. Amen.
I know what you are going through. My son is hypoglycemic. I would be happy to answer any question if you have any. You can email me if you want.

Prayers going your way.
My son has been having respiratory illnesses for over 5 weeks now. He has pink eye for the 2nd time (after 2 rounds of antibiotics), and now has “reactive asthma”….which is apparently not real asthma. Poor little guys is miserable, and I’m tired of seeing him sick. Please pray for his healing and encouragement. And also please pray for continued understanding from our employers as we continue to miss work over this.
Dear Lord,
Please be with those who have come before & laid down the burdens that rest upon their hearts for us to beseech you upon their behalfs. Our family is standing at another crossroad in our own journey, seeking to meet the educational needs of our special needs child. I know that you know each & every need before it is recognized & that you have already prepared the path we each travel on. I place their needs & my own on your promises in Jeremiah 29:11.
Amen
I don’t have a special verse for you but I am praying alongside you in – in agreement in this situation. I’m always encouraged that the mountain is NEVER bigger than God and that in all situations He has a solution, a path for us. Please be encouraged by the answer already being there, we just have to pray it be there for you at the right time. My pastor always told us that when you don’t know what to do, don’t do anything, just pray until you do know. He related it to a horse stuck in a fence – if the horse tugged, he’d be injured, so he waited for his master. We’re like that horse, unsure of what to do, only aware of our current pain and uncertainty. But God isn’t unsure. Thank you for sharing your family’s need so I can be praying with you! I have put a note on my desk at work to pray for you when I see it throughout the day. God’s blessings!
We are seeking guidance about a new job offer for my husband because his current one works him 50+ hours a week, keeping him away from me and our 5 children, who need their daddy. He works hourly now and this would be commission- based, so it would be totally different. I just want to clearly know if this is the right one or if we should wait… please pray for a clear answer and wisdom.
My friend is halfway through her pregnancy and was told that her unborn son has a cyst on his brain – there’s a very good chance it’ll resolve itself and go away but the doctor’s are encouraging her to do more testing to see if the baby has Downs. She and her husband have chosen not to do the extra testing as it won’t change their mind on having and loving the baby. However, please pray for peace in her and her husband’s heart so they enjoy the rest of the pregnancy with good health for both momma and baby. Also that this situation is resolved, healed by our ultimate Healer. I pray against health issues for him once he’s born and that whatever the outcome, my friends have courage and peace and joy in the experience. Thank you!
My only son was married last year. I have prayed since he was a little boy for the woman he was to marry. I would like prayers for their marriage. 1.) That God would be in the Center of everything they do. 2.) That God would lead them to make the best decisions possible for his employment. He is in the United State Navy and there are a lot of big decisions that go along with your job, where you’re going to live and how long you will be away from your family. I just pray that God will guide him to make the best decisions for he and his wife, along with any children God may bless them with. I would like this to also include his immediate family along with hers, as they will need help if they will be moving a lot. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for this wonderful couple. I want to give God all the glory!! I want them to be able to turn all their desires over to him and not worry about what is going to happen. Thank you for your prayers.
I am burnt out. I know God is in the leading of my life, and that He will not give me more than I can handle… BUT I am full. So full and overflowing with ‘life’. I need a recharge.
Lord, please be with Lisa as she struggles with feeling “fo full”. You give us strength in all we do and I pray Lord that today she will feel your hand on her shoulder. Lord, give her peace as she feels your strength and love today.
This is a little late but I still feel I need to ask for prayers. We moved to town about a year ago but I am not feeling settled yet. I am not sure why God brought us here and I am sad each day I communicate with my friends from my old neighborhood. I can usually put this aside and enjoy my time with my family but some days I am overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness and feeling like a failure. I try to meet people but nothing seems to click (quickly or over time). I know I need patience and I am trying but my prayers are really for my boys. I want them to enjoy our new home and not to be brought down be my bad days. I want to help them make friends and good memories while we are here.
