Replacement thread for the old one. Pretty straightforward.

I have a prayer request. A friend of mine is going through a bit of a rough spot with life and she just needs some prayer. I won't go into detail so I'll keep it private but just pray for her. Her name is Jeanna.

Thanks much guys.

[Lord Traith]

I have a few requests:

-College is coming close, and I'm still short of the 9G's needed.

-My care broke down about a month ago, so I am both without wheels and insurance. I need a vehicle before the fall.

-My dad injured himself over a month ago, and has been off work since and will probably need to go in for surgery at some point. Prayer for his quick healing.


Thanks!

I have a couple of things...

- A friend of mine (who happens to be Mormon) is going through a few health issues right now. They come at an interesting time in the discussion we have had about our different faiths. I don't know if it is God trying to work through the health issues, but any prayer would be much appreciated.

- Also, my aunt has been going through some crazy health stuff. A couple of months ago she was told my doctors that she had cancer on her liver, but they didn't know where it had come from (they didn't think it originated there). For months they have been running tests and trying some chemo to treat it...but the doctors seem either to be completely baffled, or avoiding some sort of truth. Anyway...one of my other aunts recently fought through breast cancer, and my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor as well. It is just a really hard time for the family with my grandfather's health also failing badly. So yeah...prayer for not only my aunt's health, but for the family strain resulting from the problems would be MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated. Thanks all!

I just want everyone to be praying for my family right now.

I just found out that my unofficial great grandfather (he's been a very close friend of my great grandmother since I was born, and since I never knew my actual great grandfather he pretty much was that to me) just passed away. I ask you to pray especially for my great grandmother, because these things are very hard on her.

So yeah.

[Evili]

I will be praying for everyone!

Also,

Praise: For the current traveling mercies.
Prayer: For continued traveling mercies across the US.

Also, recently I have been, well doing very un-Christian things. Cursing, along with other things. I hate doing it. Hate it. All my cousins have started to curse, and I listen to them almost every day, and I sometimes slim. They also do some other things that I hate too. Please pray for me so I can just say no to all the temptations...

Thanks to everyone for prayers...and know that they continue for you as well!

Praise: I have begun to spend more time with Christian guys!

This really is a big thing for me. I mean, we don't sit around and have Bible studies everyday, and we don't discuss our faith much...we play Nintendo, or we do whatever. It is awesome to be around people who are an encouragement. So yeah...things are really looking up in that regard. Thanks for all the prayers!

Yeah... I have a prayer request...

Things have been going fine latley, but I'm not so sure if it's just, there's nothing wrong, or, if I am just choosing to ignore it... All I can really be sure of is this...

I love somone very close to me. They say they don't love me back, yet... Toy with me, making me believe I have a chnace one day... But now, the family is starting to gang up on me, brothers are becoming hostile and parents are getting uneasy.... I mean what am I supposed to do when no one will listen to me when I say that I Am not even the one to engage half of what we do... (what we do IS morally exceptable btw... No premerital... stuff... >->) But, it's just that I know exactly what going on...

They has had such a hard time in life, and when I came into it, I made them shine! They were happy, loved again. But, saddly, I was not so sane at that moment and, well... Let's just say fear overtook whatever was there. So now we are here:

I sit, waitig here for the last month for their decision, to love me, or to...well... not... And what they are going through... Is this...

I know it's within them, but they are too afraid to try. They don't want to know... So... I gave them a bottom line. Yes or no... Decide.. And now I wait... And I pray to God that he helps bring Eva and I together... And, I guess...

I'm just going to need all the help I can get.

This.
Kinda a good thing I didn't go back to Peru.

Alrighty, I have a prayer request. This Sunday my mom is going back to Indiana because my Uncle pasted away from Liver cancer and my grandmother is living with my Aunt Janet and her husband, my grandfather, died only a few years ago from Lung cancer.

It's just a painful situation with all the death going on and my mom is going to be in the thick of it as well as my sister who is going with her.

So just pray for comfort and safe travel.

Thanks ahead of time.

Well quite a few things are happening actually. My dad is off 10 hours away from home and my step=mom is having grieving/sleeping problems. So the stress of my world and trying to keep hers together in my dad's absence is a little hard to handle. Im fine, if you ignore the fact I can't eat or sleep... There are other reasons for that too... But they;re not important... Also. most of my friends are having some sort of mental breakdown and it's hard to keep my own mental stability and help them keep theirs... Let's just say, latley... People seem more dependent on me then they should be... >-> I gues what I'm aking for is prayer to be strong.

Also, things with me and Eva seem to be improving... unbearably slowly, but things are, decent for now. I just ask for prayers to stay happy, dependable, and well... Non-swaying XD...

Also, if anyone has any further questions. Feel free to ask (PM xpecifically). I am like a book. All you have to do is open it and it'll tell you...

[PhoeniX]

Praise!, I've been looking for a job for a while now, and an opportunity arose and I got it!

[Ransom]

I just found out my grandmother died this morning.

Not really a surprise, but it was sudden, I do need to come up plans to get home.

Please pray for our family at this time.

[Vindicta]

I have a dear friend whose father has cancer. Over a month ago he was given a two week life expectancy. He is still not in great condition, in bed all of the time. Her family is growing closer in this hard time and also having many frustrations with each other. My friend is not a Christian. This seems to have brought her and I a little closer because she likes to talk about how the cancer is affecting her life in and outside of her home, and we talk about it often. Please pray for her family, that if nothing else they would bond through this whole experience.

[Phazon]

Praise that I found RUF. A Christian organization that I feel comfortable in because the community aspect is stronger than any previous one that I've been in. It's just a real blessing. It's one of the few places that I feel like singing praise and worship songs because everybody around me isn't acting like a goofball and showing off. So yeah, just praise that I got into this place. Thanks to Vindicta for showing me it too.

Some of you know who Gorth is. Many of you aren't very fond of him. I've come to know him as one of my best of friends. Recently I've had some theological discussions with him. In the last year he's changed drastically in his spiritual beliefs. He went from being a very fundamentalist baptist to a liberal, theistic evolutionist Christian. He's no longer sure of the validity of scripture and just recently told me that he's become a universalist and is even considering atheism.

I hope that you can put aside whatever feelings you have towards him and pray for him as he goes through this difficult time in his life.

[Ransom]

Sure freemen. He'll be in my prayers.

I'm sad to hear that, because he contacted me awhile back and seemed to have changed a lot for the better. It's unfortunate to hear that the reverse is happening now. I'll pray for him.

[Fremen_Warrior66]

Hey guys I really appreciate it.

[Fremen_Warrior66]

Well I talked to Gorth some more. His situation is somewhat complicated. I'll post something from a conversation I had with him to make myself more clear. I don't think he'd mind.

"Ha Ha, atheism is like a migraine to me, it comes back every so often. Any time I convert to atheism
don't take me seriously."

He's dealing with a lot of depression too. Another thing he said is, "ya know, i think some people are made for happy lives and I'm not entirely convinced that i am." This is a long running thing too. I know he's been dealing with it since almost 2 years ago. I think it has a lot to do with the high expectations people (particularly his parents place on him).

He has some amazing talents in math, physics, and programming, but he's not really interested in taking the college route. His parents are really pushing him to do well and all he wants to do is get a night job and read books.

Keep praying for him.
