When my father sexually abused me as a preteen our family lied about it for years. When I began to grow up, my father was so jealous and such a high volume rageaholic that I lied about my whereabouts all the time. I became a Christian, had incredible years of transformation. Later I married and my Christian husband fell away from the Lord, terrorized our children so that they were in complete dread of him. I would lie to protect the kids, so he wouldn't scream, insult them, push them. I am not saying I was right to do this. My husband continues to lie to himself about the damage he has caused - puts on a nice face at church while having no trust from his kids. Now my oldest daughter lies. So, I ask for prayer - for the mercy of God. For His power to turn this broken family around, for Him to demolish the fears and lies that have stolen our family's hearts from eachother. Yes, my husband is in ministry. That's scary. Pray that God would break his pride.
our dad has been proud and mean for years and our family is all beaten up inside. he is acting like it is all fine but please pray that he sees what he has done, and help us to heal as a family.
my daughter has believed she was same sex attracted since probably the second grade. She does love the Lord and has been very abused emotionally by men, though she doesn't think sexually. Please pray for her deliverance - she's wrestling with Scripture and needs supernatural aid in choosing truth. She's very close to me and continually asks for prayer. It's an emotionally bloody battle....
my older daughter, age 24, rejected Christ when hallucinations began, and also her college prof tore apart her faith. she has moved far away and is very hardened spiritually, and has severe problems with thinking and emotions. please pray for her salvation and protection...thank you so much for hearing a mom's heart.
My daughter spent the last decade bedridden with a disease the hospital said was incurable. Through a prayer ministry, she received alot of healing this summer! She is experiencing severe spiritual oppression and mental/emotional torment, however. She wants to return to college and is in agony - please pray for her spiritual protection, and that she would obey the Lord in all areas of her life.
I love Jesus with all my heart and i want a deeper understanding of him. I have CP (cerebral palsy) which means i can't walk properly and i really believe that God can help me. Lots of my friends call me moody or negative and i just want to be happy and free but i don't seem to be able to do that. I pray to God everyday and spend up to 5 hours a day praying for freedom. My mind is filled with Satan although I've never had anything to do with him and quite a few people have just said he does that because he's trying to differ my faith in the lord. Despite my head having that kinda thing in it, my heart truly longs for Jesus. Jesus won't take account for the thing my head says right? Because if he's judging my heart then i guess i'm in the right place. Please pray for my spiritual freedom from this torture in my mind.
My daughter just got bit and I know it is a rattlesnake because of my area of study; we have no anti-venom in the house and are rushing her to emergency...we live far out in the country; PLEASE PRAY FOR PROTECTION!
My daughter was recently healed of a severe disease, through a prayer ministry. Doctors at a major hospital said she was untreatable, but she is free from pain and symptoms now for 2 months! We are praising God! But since then, she has had SO MUCH spiritual oppression. We know it is this because when she goes back to the prayer ministry, the anguish goes away and she says she actually feels something "peel off" her. Please pray for protection. Satan hates to let go!
Please pray for our brother in Christ - Last week on Thursday (July 19), at 1:30 pm, a group of men abducted an Iraqi Christian man, named Sami Aziz Azar, near his house and took him to unidentified place! No one has heard from Azar or been able to gain any information about his fate since his kidnapping. (All info taken from Open Doors Ministry)
I am a mom of 2 special needs kids. Over the years the weariness has really beaten me down. God has encouraged me and kept me going; He has given me wonderful friends and prayers. But the weakness and weariness are there. I need to finish my taxes (we have an extension), I have a complicated household to take care of, I do work a job and I am getting older...our finances have been crumbling...I am in my 50's now...could you pray for HIS STRENGTH and THE ABILITY TO FOCUS focus on my responsibilites? I often want to just curl up and sleep - it's fatigue, depression, and being overwhelmed.
My twelve year old sons, Austin and Ethan, will be undergoing major eye surgeries on July 31, 2012. They were premie twins, born at 28 weeks, that have multiple eye conditions and have been followed by ophthalmologists all their lives. The surgery has a 50/50 success rate with no other current medical options available for them. Please, please pray for successful surgeries for our sons and quick, uneventful recoveries...the heart-breaking limitations in their lives, if the surgery isn't successful, is a heavy burden on our hearts. We want them to some day even be able to get a driver's license...
I was diagnosed exactly 1 year ago with colon cancer stage 3 w/metastasis. I am a 49 yr old woman, there has never been colon cancer in our family. They removed the tumor (3.5)added a colostomy which I wore for 8 months during which time I took chemotherapy for 6 months. I had a colostomy reversal March 2012. I just had my first 3 month (since surgeries etc.,)check-up w/my oncologist with blood work. My C.E.A. levels (cancer markers) were 4.3 (closer to zero the less chance of cancer being present). I want to praise God and his son Jesus the Christ for getting me through all of this in 1 years time, for helping grow my courage and strength both within and physically. So far I am cancer free ! Praise YOU O'Lord God Almighty and Jesus Christ my Lord.
I am a mother of two girls, I was sexually, emotionally, verbally abused for years growing up. My daughters were bullied but not sexually abused by their Christian (but disobedient) Dad, and are very damaged. I was too poor to leave him. There has been some healing but I am very depressed and broken hearted by the damage. Please pray for continued healing for this family, and for my depression which haunts me.
My dear Christian daughter began thinking she was lesbian when quite young. She had a best friend who was gay. By the grace of God that friendship fell apart but it was intense. My daughter began growing seriously spiritually just this year. However there's so much damage and so much darkness that she battles. Please pray for her...for the power of the Holy Spirit to transform, free, and heal her in this area. She knows I will never reject her.
Imagine yourself as a Christian living in an Islamic country during Ramadan, the season that celebrates the first revelations that Mohammad received (July 20 - Aug. 18 this year). Before the sun rises you hear the call to prayer... if you or your children choose to eat and drink during the day, you may be yelled at, spat at, or harassed by your Muslim neighbors. Please pray for wisdom for our Christian brothers and sisters in Muslim countries, as they live for Christ now during this oppressive season for them. Also pray for the Muslim people, that the Lord will call out many into His Kingdom for His glory!
