The Prayer Request Thread

[HLGStrider]

Prayer Request Thread. Is This A Possibility?
Hello, my idea is for people to put down their prayer request then just leave it there where people can look at it and pray over it. I want it to be the kind of place where people don't worry about being judged or getting preachy advice.

Most religions teach about prayer, and though I am a Christian, I would not want to restrict this thread to members of my faith. I'm sure we all have things we'd like for people to be praying over. Can we do this?


Prays from the old thread...

Please pray for:
Elgee's grandfather who is recovering from Lymphoma.
Bethelarien's family, still recovering from the loss of Beth's father.
Pippin/Frodo's Brother who has lymphoma
Elgee's emotional state.
Eomond's family.
Elgee's Aunt's Brother who was taken ill
Galdor who is just a little depressed
And Dain's shoulder.

[Gandalf White]

Good idea.
I just wanted prayer because my Mom's dad is dying, he may have a massive heart attack any minute. Please pray that he doesn't die until he has accepted Jesus as his savior, and for my Mom that she would be comforted. Me too I guess.

[Nenya Evenstar]

I'm back, Elgee. :)

I will be praying.

[Stridir]

i will pray for you and that she will except Jesus into her heart.

please pray for my familys friend, Dennis. he has lukemia. please pray thanx!

[Galdor]

Everyone please pray for the young lady in this thread.

[Celebthôl]

i have done, and i have also prayed for the other victoms of such accidents, but prepare yourself for what the images contain in that thread, its sadening and disturbing to say the least!

[Kellivara]

I don't really feel right in this thread....

but I'm here anyway.....

and I don't know why.............





yea, that does make you feel sick......she was so pretty too...... but I'm not sure who I pity more......the girl or the guy who hit her, the guilt that haunts him must be unbearable to a point where his heart is about to break........yet I feel so terribly sorry for her............


but sorry, I can't pray for any of these things.......or these people.........I don't know who to pray to.......................

[Galdor]

Hey, could you guys pray for Kellivara. She's kinda lost right now, and really doesn't know what to believe. I'm trying to help lead her to Christ, but she just doesn't know what to believe, or where to look. So pray that she will find the truth, and that God will guide me in guiding her to Him.

Thanks guys.

[HLGStrider]

Een if you don't know what you're praying to, He's still there, and He knows everything... so just pray anyway, and see what happens.

[Kellivara]

I prayed to 'him' for years, nothing happened, sorry to dissappoint. I'm done praying......


and how am I supposed to pray to something I'm not even sure if I believe in!?!?

[Eriol]

But you are probably not sure if you don't believe in Him as well... so try this, dear Kellivara: pray as if He existed. Don't get sidetracked by your doubts, let them be quiet for a while and pray. One of the things you can ask for in your prayer is for faith, if He exists. Something like "Please Lord, give me the strength of will to disregard my own doubts and fully believe in You".

He will help. "Seek and you shall find", He said... so keep on seeking.

God bless...

[Kellivara]

when I first started to doubt that 'he' existed, I prayed to 'him' EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, and before that, for years, I prayed.....and my faith never became stronger, only continuously dwindled. When I realized my faith was falling away from me, I prayed, and then I prayed some more......yet still my faith fell!!!.....

[HLGStrider]

Not knowing your exact case I'm loathed to comment. I don't know what you were praying for. Sometimes God doesn't give us what we want, but I've always been fine with that. I know that if I had gotten everything I wanted from prayers I would not be in a very good place right now. For one thing it would've involved the boy I like having a complete reversal of personality and throwing himself at my feet...

I suppose it is a matter of trust.
If you want to pm any of us I'm sure we'd listen. Just pick a name...

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for those who were aboard the space shuttle Columbia and their families and friends.

Also thank God that no one was crushed by falling debris. Some of the stuff came fairly close to people's homes, apparently.

[Éomond]

Could someone pray for me? I feeling really horrible here and in my life. I'm addicted to TTF but I'm not fitting in and havn't made much friends, and most of my attemps here fail:( Just pray for me, if you care, it feels like no one does.(:( :( :mad:

And for my parent, there seems to be no progression with my mom's love for my dad.:(

[Mablung]

Don't worry Mond Im your friend and Im praying for you. I'll also pray for your parents.

[Kellivara]

now that can't possibly be true! I know you have at least SOME friends here, lol, probably more than me! but either way everyone in this thread cares enough to at least pray for you (IF they have someone to pray to anyway) but anyway, if ur ever feeling ignored u can always go back to The Phoenix Lair Pub and hang out there, lol, and dun worry, u dun hafta let them throw u out for fun:p

[HLGStrider]

Don't worry Eo... For gosh sakes, you're a Ranger...

Prayers for everybody.

[Éomond]

Thank you all for praying for me and giving me comfort. I feel much better now:):):D:):)

[33Peregrin]

That is wonderful Eomond! I'll pray for you too.

Please pray for my friend's family who recently experienced the death of a grandmother who was very dear to them. They are experiencing a difficult time.

Please pray for one of my cousins who is making some disasterous decisions.

Thanks!:)

[Jesse]

Can you please pray for a classmate of mine named Chris? He's getting in a lot of trouble and needs prayers desperately. Thanks.

[HLGStrider]

Prayer sent out... Welcome to the forum, Jesse.

[Jesse]

Thanks HGLStrider. I'm a Christian too. Once again, thanks for welcoming me.:)

[HLGStrider]

Call me Elgee... it is apparently easier to spell than HLG... ;)

anyway, that's what everyone else calls me...

[Jesse]

Elgee,
Check your PMs......

[HLGStrider]

Will do.. You don't normally have to tell me to check my box. I've never let it overfill and I'm on here fairly often... ;)

[Éomond]

Could you guys please pray for my dad? He got threatend and cussed at by his "Christain" roommate while my and my brother were there and my dad moved out in about 30 minutes so my dad really need prayer. Thanks :)

[HLGStrider]

Pray for my friend's dad who is going in with apparent heart problems...

and though this may seem silly, pray for my grandparent's dog, that he won't have hip problems and need to be put down. He means a lot to my grandpa.

[Galdor]

Hey, could you guys pray for a friend of mine? He's having some problems with his marrage and could really use some prayer. Thanks

[HLGStrider]

I've been feeling weird and sick all day. No idea why.

Prayers please.

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for the girl who got a heart transplant with the wrong blood type, and also her family.

[Éomond]

Please pray for me, I'm sick with a sore throat, headache, temp. of 99 to 101 degrees, and dizzy-ness. Thanks

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for my grandfather. He has the flu and is just ending Kemotherapy, a very bad mix.

[Jesse]

Elgee,
Last I heard, the girl who was in the hospital passed away. The doctors cut the life support and did numerous brain tests to see if she was still alive. Her fist name was Jessica I think, from Mexico. I have a request:

I started a prayer group on one of the forums I go to. Please pray that when we meet every Wednesday, that our prayers will do wonders. Thank you so very, very, very much!

[HLGStrider]

I heard that too. It's very sad. A terrible mistake.

Please pray for me in a nonspecific request.:rolleyes:

[Firnnovien]

One of my sisters friend has been acting very disturbingly lately. He followed my sister's boyfriend home and sat outside his house, and then did the same to my sister. He is talking about killing himself. Please pray.

Firnnovien

[Eriol]

Welcome to the Forum, Firnovien... prayer sent out.

[HLGStrider]

Firnovian isn't new. She's just slightly inactive.

Speaking of which, what was the last chapter of my book I gave you, Firn? Are you read for more?

[Eriol]

A second welcome then Firnnovien! I guess I was fooled by your post count. The evil mods ( ;) ) probably have done some deleting.

[HLGStrider]

It was probably the evil Elgee who had the old request thread deleted. . . Blush...

[Bethelarien]

Please pray for me, I need to find a job so I can quit my current one, which I am incredibly miserable at. :(

[Jesse]

Just to let all who pray know:

On 03-03-03, the World Prayer Center (www.worldprayercenter.org), has announced that the day should be called an International Day of Prayer. At 3:33, all faiths are advised to say a short prayer for the world, nation, and the human race. I don't know where you all are at that time, but you might want to pray!

[Kellivara]

I don't pray, cuz I dunno who to pray to, but how much ya wanna bet I'll get goosebumps at 3:33 that day? I seem to get goosebumps with such things. Kinda like sensing great power I guess. And if everyone of every faith prays at the same time (or at least all who have heard of it or just happen to be praying at the time) just imagine how much power will be in the air. Even if it is the power of a god I'm not sure I believe in, lol.

I'll pass on the word as much as I can:)

[MacAddict]

Just asking for prayer for my little sister, Rachel, shes 7 and over the past few days hasn't been feeling very good so after awhile my parents took her to the doctor and it looks like she has a swelled up 'thing' in her neck. But what is very seriuosly not good is my mom is studying to be a nurse and she told me that the sytoms Rachel has reflect that of (a large name i can't remember) its child cancer. So just please pray for her and if it actually is this disese, pray that God would heal her. Thank you all very much in advance.



~MacAddict

[HLGStrider]

Prayer gone out. . .

We're all with you for this, Mac.

[Kellivara]

I'll ask my friend Sarah to pray for her. She'll get her whole church filled with prayers for ur lil sis in no time at all!

[Elendil3119]

Please pray for my mom and dad. My mom recently broke her wrist, and my dad hurt his back seriously.:(

--Elendil3119--

[Galdor]

Hey, could you'll pray for Nenya? She's going through some hard times right now and could really use some prayer. Thanks guys.

[MacAddict]

Update: Well as it turns out, the lumb thing in Rachel's throut(sp) seems to be a lot of excess mucus, they gave her a shot of some really powerful AntiByoutics(sp) and it like popped and later she had a lot of drainage and her fever is gone completly. We're still waiting for the returns on the X-Rays to see what they show but as far as whats wrong with Rachel, there isn't anything! I thank you all SOOO much for your prayers and most importantly I thank God for healing her! Thanks again.



~MacAddict

[Eriol]

Great news MacAddict... you had us worried for a time! Keep us posted...

[Jesse]

Please continue to pray for our President and our nation. During these difficult times, prayer is important. Also pray that Christians throughout the world like myself will grow spiritually during this season of Lent. Thanks!

[Rhiannon]

A woman I knew from another internet forum (Readerville.com) was recently killed with her parents in a plane crash; Amanda Davis had just published her debut novel Wonder When You'll Miss Me and her father was flying her on her book tour. Other friends and authors are going to be continuing Amanda's book readings as scheduled, as well as encouraging others to buy her book with the hope of making it a best seller and bringing it the attention it deserves.

Please pray for Amanda's family, her siblings and friends; just at Readerville, where people only knew her through the internet, her death is really being felt. I also know nothing about her spiritual life, but I suspect she wasn't a Christian.

[Bethelarien]

My grandfather died yesterday morning. Please pray for his wife, even if she is a witch.

[Arvedui]

I'll add you in my prayers.

And I hope that you we pray for my wife's grandfather. His wife died two days ago, and he loved her very much (still after more than sixty years).

Also I want you to join me in a prayer for all soldiers who at the time are about to face death and destruction, fear and bloodshed.

[Kellivara]

please please PLEASE pray for two of my really good friends who are going through a lot of pain right now.........I can't give any names or how I know them tho.........

[Walter]

Today - or yesterday for some - war has begun in Iraq.

I would ask everyone to join in a prayer for all those who will be killed in that war and also for those poor creatures who are responsible for these killings...

[Arvedui]

It will be done. Let us all pray that this war will soon be over.

[Bethelarien]

Actually, I meant "witch" instead of a different word that rhymes with it...she's not a very nice person. But she's not actually a Wicca or anything like that.

Good news! My sister had a baby last night! Kathryn Irene, 7 lbs, 13 ounces! Yay!!!!

[Ol'gaffer]

Congratulations!!!

[Flame of Anor]

I have a prayer request. I just received an email from one of my friends' sister. She said that her brother is going in to the army. The US army. So if you guys could be praying for him, for his safety, and for the US's entire armed forces. That would be wonderful. Thanx God Bless

-Flame

[Kelonus]

I like the prayer request. It was a good idea. I keep u all in prayer.

[elfgirl]

I have a prayer request. My grandmother is VERY ILL, after my grandfather died just a few weeks ago, and we do not know if she will live. She is in the hospital, at this moment. Please pray for her. Thank you. You are all in my prayers, and God Bless you all.

[Findarato]

I would like to request a prayer for my girlfriend, Alice. She is goin' thru alot of emotional pain at the moment. I am praying for all you guys. Thanx.

[Eriol]

My fellow TTF'ers, I am feeling quite cheerful today...

(which is VERY surprising considering my present circumstances)

So I would like to invite all of you to join me in a Thanksgiving prayer! The love of God is really limitless!

And while you are at it, pray also for a dear friend of mine who is suffering...

Thanks!


EDIT: No, I have not received any special boon today, quite the contrary... it is just that March 25th moves me to no end (check the "Passing of Sauron" thread in this very Forum). A most unquenchable day!

[Bethelarien]

I'm also feeling quite cheerful today, primarily because I now have a date to prom. It took me weeks to get up the courage to ask my not-boyfriend (it's confusing--don't ask) to go with me, but I did last night and he said yes! So yay!:D

[Ol'gaffer]

I thought that the prom is held at the end of High School for graduates? How do they do it there, I'm a bit confused with it.

Anyway, have fun!

[elfgirl]

I have another prayer request. I have a good friend who recently went to the hospital to have a growth on her head removed. They have done tests, which has proven that she has brain cancer. She is 27, and she has to look after her husband who is bedridden with a degenerative disease, so we are all hoping that she gets better, if only for a little while, for her and her husband. Her name is Rebecca, she is in the hospital right now. Please pray for her. Thank you, and God Bless.

[Jesse]

Please pray for me as I am doubting Jesus was who he says he was. I am looking into the Bahai faith more than ever now. Just pray for my soul and mind to be at peace.

[HLGStrider]

Jesus was either who he said he was or the world's greatest liar. . . which is quite a difference, so you'd better look into it.

Want to PM me about why you are doubting? A lot of time people just need to sort it out. . .or read CS Lewis. . .but that's just my personal cure for all doubting.

[Feanorian]

Hello I am relativly new to the forum, and I just discovered this thread and I think its really great. It seems most of the people here are Christians (but not all) as am I. Please pray for my families very close friend who has brain cancer, the worst kind, I cant remember what type it is, but it almost will always grow back and if it doesnt after surgery there is a great risk of brain damage......their family is going through alot. Thanks, Ill be praying for you all.

[HLGStrider]

Welcome to the forum, Fean.

Prayer gone out.

By the way, people, occassionally you might want to go through here and delete any posts of yours that are off topic. . .for instance, some of the ones involving the witch side track. . .Anything that isn't a request or important to the other posts around it.
I want to keep this thread short and accessible. Last time we actually deleted the thread and started again.

[Jesse]

Please pray for the soldiers off fighting in the war. They need our prayers desperately. Pray for their protection and good health. Thanks PW!

[Legolaschick]

Hi, Um... I was wondering if you could all pray for my Aunt she is going through a really hard time right now with her heath. So if ya'll would pray for her I would really abresiate it.

[Feanorian]

As well as praying for the soliders I think it is very important that we pray for the leadership of The Colliation. Specificly George Bush, Tony Blair, etc. They have a very tough job on their hands. I am not sure if this request has gone out but it is always good to be reminded. Also pray that the war does not escalate to WW3 with Syria helping Iraq out and the growing threats of South Korea and Iran.

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for all the speeches I'll have to make in Speech class.

[elfgirl]

I HAVE GOOD NEWS! Do you remember my friend Rebbeca? Well, She went for her first kimo today, and she is actually making a good recovery. I ask that you still pray for her, yet I would also like to say:

THANK YOU ALL!!!

I am praying for you all, the troops, a quick end to the war, and, though it seems impossible, peace.

[Bethelarien]

I as well am praying for our troops. I detest war. I only hope they'll come home safely, and soon!

Everyone, please pray for me today (Wed, April 9). I have an interview for a big local tv station (as in I'll be on the news with the illustrious Kay Quinn), and I really want it to go well so I don't sound like an idiot on TV.

[Ol'gaffer]

*quickly says 10 hail maries and 20 our lord in heaven's*

Like the generals said to custer before battle: Up an at 'em. :D

[elfgirl]

Do not worry. If your public speeches are as great as your posts, you will do fine! I am sure they will love you.

[Eriol]

Hey, Bethelarien, how did it go?

Please all send a prayer for a sick man of my acquaintance. Thanks.

[Bethelarien]

Thank you all for your prayers, I appreciate it! (Thanks, Gaffer, but you're a dork!);)

I think it went really well! They actually taped more than 40 minutes of stuff (and they're coming back to my house Monday to do more taping, so keep praying), when the actual air time is only 4 minutes. Dang! Lots of extra stuff. Still, the interview itself went really well, so I'm excited! It should air around May 1, but that date could change. (For anyone in the St. Louis metro area that cares.)

[HLGStrider]

Gaffer just enjoys posting things I don't quite get. . .sometimes I think he is trying to make fun of us. . .but I give him the benefit of the doubt, and I'm not sicking my pet moderator at him. . .Which mod is my pet? I have no idea, but it sounds good. .. Can you just imagine a mod on a leash? Like that Rankcor in Star Wars. . .

Where was I?

What was the interview about? Glad it went well.

Thanks for the compliment Elfgee. . .Elgee and Elfgee and Olgee. . .he he

[Nenya Evenstar]

Maybe we should pray that Elgee does get some of that coffee? ;) Or maybe she needs to get less of whatever . . . . ;)

Thanks for the laugh Elgee! I'm having problems sleeping, and I have the ACT test tomorrow morning. I could use prayer for that especially since I'm going to be a wreck from a lack of sleep. Thanks! :)

[HLGStrider]

I like Green tea. . .here I go, breaking my own rule about nonsense posts on this thread.
Blah. . .

I am not feeling very well, and though I know it is temporary and will probably be gone by tomorrow I'd like a good nights rest, so please pray for that.

[Flame of Anor]

Hey, guys i have a major prayer request.... I have a friend at my church who is bringing his friend from work to church next Sunday for Easter. My friend's friend is into Wica and really heavily. If you don't know what Wica is it is witchcraft and the fact that he is even interested in coming to church is through God. So if you will be praying that God will continue to soften his heart that would be so awesome....oh one more thing he is bringing his family with him and they are all into Wica. so if you could be praying for them as well. Thank you soooooo much. God Bless

I usually don't ask for prayers, but I feel that I want to now...

I wanted to know if you guys would pray for a couple friends of mine who are currently over in Iraq. They are both staying there to help rebuild the towns. I know that they are pretty much out of any danger now, but i'm still a little scared for them...

-Thanks

We will definitly be praying for them, and all of the other troops in the Middle East.

[Legolaschick]

Yes, I will pray for them.
It is almost Easter! YA! I can't wait!

[HLGStrider]

I hope everyone had a good easter. . .:D

[Feanorian]

Easter was fantastic, as usual. Could everyone please pray for a couple of guys at my work, they have been really curious lately and I really think we are making some progress.

[The_Swordmaster]

Can everyone please pray for my cousin who is going over to Iraq. Thank you.

[HLGStrider]

Prayers sent out. . .

Please pray for me in decisions I have to make reguarding my next year and education.

[Feanorian]

Please pray for me in decisions I have to make reguarding my next year and education.

Actually that brings to mind the same request for me, there are a couple of choices and we need to know which one is best...thank you

[Oren]

I'll definatly be praying for you all...

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for Faila and the troubles in his real life (see his thread 'Apology and Good-bye').

Pray for me. I volonteered to do a short talk at my graduation and I don't know what to talk about now. . .BLAH!

I only have five minutes or less.

What would you like to hear at your gradaution if you were homeschooled? Or otherwise, but this is specifically a homeschool graduation.

[Rhiannon]

Um...I don't know.

But of course, my mom is planning a masquerade party for my homeschool graduation (next year), so I shall say something weird and melodramatic.

[HLGStrider]

Ooooh. . .fun. What are you going as?

[Rhiannon]

I don't know- something with a great deal of skirt and knee high boots, if I get my way ;)

[Oren]

Lol, sounds like fun

I just have one more prayer. Faila, he's leaving the forums... He has a thread under member announcements... it really sounds like he could use our prayers...

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for Faila and the troubles in his real life (see his thread 'Apology and Good-bye').

Um. . .Oren. . . I already said that. . .;)

he he . . .

I knew nobody read my posts anymore. . .

[Oren]

oh! Sorry! Didn't catch that!

[Aragorn21]

I've got a friend on gamespy who hates his life. He has tried to commit suicide many times but has failed every time (obviously). He really needs our prayers, and I need your prayers that I'd be able to witness to him more than I have. thanks

[Feanorian]

I've got a friend on gamespy who hates his life. He has tried to commit suicide many times but has failed every time (obviously). He really needs our prayers, and I need your prayers that I'd be able to witness to him more than I have. thanks

I was in a similar situation, although my friend was in my church and although hes still not doing that good he has improved alot. He attempted to suicide a couple of times but it also did not work....keep being nice and try to show God's love. I will definitly be praying for him.

[Elbereth]

Now I don't usually come in here, as I tend to keep most of my prayers to myself as a rule. However, tonight I am going to make an exception to that rule.

This evening I received a telephone call from my mom who told me that the mother of three boys I used to babysit, was shot and killed recently. She was single mother of three teenage boys who are now 12, 15 and 19. I was very close to the family and was their babysitter for nearly four years. I'm very distraut by this...and my prayers will be with those poor boys who are now left parentless. My heart goes out to them...and God bless them and keep them strong through this terrible tragedy.

:(

[Feanorian]

This is definitly going to be a trial for you, I had two friends killed in a car accident a couple of years ago and that was a hard time for me. I will pray not only for these kids but for you and your mother, you will all need God's support.

[e.Blackstar]

I'll pray for you. I also need prayer for my friend Dani (she's on this site) that she would accept Jesus as her Savior. Ditto on my friend Lia. Tx all.

[Jesse]

Please pray for my half brother's wedding. It's tomorrow at the Chart House. He's 25, his g/f is 21. His name is J.D., her name is Brooklyn. Please pray all goes well and that Christ will bless their marriage and that they'll never divorce.:)

[greypilgrim]

I pray for people. I keep my prayers private like Elbereth.

I really wish someone would pray for me.

I'm so so lost in this world, I have no idea what I am, where I am, where I am headed, and/or with who.

That's all, thanks.

[Feanorian]

It is totally fine if you would rather keep to yourself, however that can't stop us from praying for you;) , try praying for direction in your life.

[greypilgrim]

"Direction" is a very vague word. I like answers.

[Nenya Evenstar]

I'll be praying for everything and everyone.

greypilgrim, the thing that I've found about God is that he doesn't work the way we want Him to. Often times, what we think is the best thing for us is in actuality not the best thing, and so God doesn't lead us down that certain path. Instead, He leads us down a different path that we aren't expecting. In the long run, whatever path God leads us down will always be better because He knows what is best for each and every one of us, and we don't.

So, all I can say is that you may not get answers because you may be looking for the answers that are the wrong answers. So, you could instead pray that God would lead you toward what He has planned for your life. This is direction. There's absolutely no way for anyone to know what God has planned . . . the best thing to do is just to commit your life to Him and trust that He will lead you where you need to go.

I'll be praying for you.

Could everyone pray for me that I would continue to grow in a knowledge of Christ and that I would begin to understand some issues in my life that seem to get in the way of my beliefs. Also, please pray that God would help me get rid of the doubt that constantly plagues me. Thanks! :)

[Flame of Anor]

Hey guys, it is finals week for me at college. if you could just be praying for me to do my best and that i will remember everything that i have learned, that would be awesome thnx a lot. yeah most of my tests are comprehensive, which is a major bummer.

[elfgirl]

I just came back from visiting my grandmother in the hospital. She broke her hip, and I would appreciate it if you would all pray for her to have a speedy recovery.

This was a major verse in my life when I didn't know what direction to turn, I hope it will help you out also.

[Legolaschick]

Hey Everyone.
I have been praying for all of you.
I was hoping that you could pray for one of my friends. We are haveing Student Council Elections and she is just all up on winning and I just feel so put out.

[e.Blackstar]

I'm praying for y'all.
Please pray for my family. My mom is kinda depressed lately, and we have no money. Tx

[Bethelarien]

Finals started today. I have very tough classes and very tough finals, so please pray for me like crazy. I need all the help I can get.

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for me. My back and neck are screaming!

Long story?

My sister was coming down stairs from doing some cleaning with a bucket of mop water and a cup of coffee. She tripped, fell a few steps, spilt water and coffee down the stairs and into the hallway below. She was fine, but as she fell she yelled out "HELP!"
I came running to help, slipped on her spill, landed flat on my back, leaned up against the stair landing, fainted, went into convulsions (according to my mom. I don't remember this), and then woke up feeling dizzy.

In the time since my back has started killing me!

[Eriol]

Ouch -- that sounds serious. Prayer sent out, Elgee...

Can you all pray for my sister's birthday? It was yesterday, but we will celebrate today... Thanks!

[Kellivara]

ummm.....please pray for my friend's cousin, he was hit by a car and is now in a coma.....the poor little guy is only six years old....he's too young to die.........please pray for him......

[Kellivara]

..........I rarely ask for prayers for myself because I personally think it's rather selfish of me to do so......but I am going job hunting next weekend, and I really really need at least one job if I'm to be able to go to the TTF convention.......

[Flame of Anor]

I shall remember all your needs in prayer everyone. God Bless!!

-Flame

[BranMuffin]

EVERYONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE THREAD I STARTED IN THE SUGGESTION BOX. ITS ABOUT STARTING A GUILD OF RELIGIONS TO PULL ALL OF THE RELIGIOUS THREADS INTO ONE PLACE.

[Kellivara]

um, we would still keep this thread though....right? right??

[Flame of Anor]

i believe we wall keep this thread opened. but we could start one in the guild of religions instead. or have this one moved there, if and when the religions guild it started.

-Flame

[Kellivara]

no no no no no no no no no no NO NO NO NO NO!!!! PLEASE KEEP IT HERE???? I hope everyone decides to keep it here!!

[HLGStrider]

One thing I have always tried to maintain in this thread is accessibility, and I think, therefore, that it should be kept here. A link to it in this guild might be an ok idea.

[Kellivara]

*Kells calms down a bit* good......

[Legolaschick]

I think that we should just keep it here

CAn all ya'll pray for me? I have a dance recidle tomorrow. Thanks.

[BranMuffin]

I WASN'T SAYING WE HAD TO MOVE IT. I WAS JUST LETTING EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. ALSO CHECK OUT THE GUILD OF CHRISTIANS IN THE OTHER GUILDS SECTION. THEY WANT TO COOPERATE TO HAVE AN HOUR OF PRAYER FOR THE REQUESTS ON TTF.

[Flame of Anor]

Awesome, that is so cool. I think i shall head over there, and find out when they are doing it. Wow, that is awesome.

-Flame

[Lifeling]

Hey can you all pray for me... Im going through a really stressful time... (Like Really)

[Firnnovien]

Hi all. I was just wondering if you would pray for me, as I am going through a stressful time with exams (GCSEs) and some other stuff.

Also, my sister hurt her knee on Saturday, and she is only now starting to walk on it properly again. Please can you pray for healing.

OK, one more. The Pastor of our Church has had a vision for our Church, but he isn't going to share it with us until the 13th September, as he feels that that is the right time to share it. Please could you pray that we will be able to wait until that time, as some people are getting very annoyed.

Thanks in advance,
Firnn

[BranMuffin]

SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS GETTING STRESSED OUT BY THINGS GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES. REMEMBER TWO THINGS- CAST ALL YOUR CARES ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU, AND SECONDLY IF YOU ARE WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING DON'T. GOD CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR TROUBLES A LOT BETTER THAN YOU CAN YOURSELF, SO LET HIM HAVE THEM AND TAKE CARE OF THEM FOR YOU. GOD BLESS. I WILL STILL PRAY THOUGH.

[elfgirl]

Nicely said. Also, if you are feeling stressed out, you can talk to a friend or family member. In February, I felt so stresssed I nearly had a breakdown, yet talking to my best friend and my sister really helped. If that doesn't work, you might want to try talking to someone at your church. They can be very helpful and insightful. I am praying for all of you. Have a great summer.

[BranMuffin]

Could you all pray for my family. My "adopted brother" has been being very direspectful to my parents so they are going to make him find his own place now. He is going to be 19 in August but doesn't have a clue what the real world is like. Also, I feel that since he is not firmly grounded with the Lord right now he will backslide quite substantially(it has already started). Thank you in advance, and the Love of Christ be with you.

[e.Blackstar]

Okay, it's pretty minor next to these more earth-shattering ones, but I have a LOT of like, scrapes and bruises and the like, so many that it almost hurts to MOVE. Tx

What happened?

[HLGStrider]

You have to tell us, Trey. . .you have us all worried! ;)

[BranMuffin]

Maybe we should PM her to fid out? But then she'll have a full PM box in no time.

[e.Blackstar]

Well, here goes! (BranMuffin PM'd me) I have major scrapes on my right elbow and up and down my right leg because of my own clumsiness. (Well, my friend and I were bulling into each other as i walked her home, and she dodged out of the way. i was going to fast to stop and !CRASHED! into a tree and the cement. okay, now you can laugh)

I was/am stiff and sore because I biked 16 miles on Saturday and I'd biked a total of like, 4 miles up until that point. I also have two bad ankles and a bad knee that were aggravated by the biking.

To top it off, when I wrote that post I had just accidentally smashed my head into several things, including a tree, a door, a refrigerator, a desk,and my friend's head. :)

NOW you can really laugh. *cringes at the sound of laughter an the chant "Klutz! Klutz!" being taken up by her enimies (they better not include you)*

Anyway, thanx for any prayer that you have given. Also, I have been praying for a certain part in a play, and we got our parts today. :( I didn't get the part. Phooey! But God is still good! no why? I got a BETTER part! yay! God is cool.

Also, I was praying for my friend for strength for a tough time, and she is fine now.

*Whew, this is a lot of typing*

Last but not least, I will be sleeping over at my friend's house tommorrow. (She is on this site, but no name will be revealed) Her mom has been in and out of De-Tox several times, her dad is in jail, and her sister is a recovering druggie. i need prayer that I can minister to them. She comes to my youth group a couple times, so :D

Tx. God Bless

[HLGStrider]

Gosh, Trey has a full life. . .

Pray for my grandma who is far away from home in Chicago this week visiting her Greek friend Constantina and sending back reports that it REALLY is just like that Greek Wedding movie. . .

Also, pray for me. I keep colliding with another C9'er over silly things. . .and I don't want to be the first C9'er to rip another C9'er head off. . .

[Lifeling]

I need prayer... Im confused and hurt... pray for a resolution of the isssue... pray that God grants me wisdom on how to deal with this...

thx

[Eriol]

Please, pray for a friend of mine who has suffered a brain stroke. It does not seem as if he'll survive. And he is an atheist. Let's hope he grabs the "window of opportunity" to turn to Christ now.

[HLGStrider]

Prayers sent out for you two. . .

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us--they help us learn to endure.

Romans 5:3, NLT

[Feanorian]

I will hold you (lifeling) and your friend (Eriol) in my prayers. Could I request prayer I injured my leg at football camp and am starting therapy tomorrow, if you could pray that it would be completely fine by August, thank you very much.

[HLGStrider]

Prayers issued. . .

Issued. . .? Makes it sound like a request for resupplies from an army brigade. . .he he. . .

[BranMuffin]

Jesse, what did that have to do with this thread? You have stated your beliefs in several places already, and you opened your own thread about it(its ALMOST as if you are being arrogant about it). I don't mean to sound mean, but you could have PMed that instead of posting it.

I thank you for you earlier prayer requests and will do so for you.

Also, as far as your deep thoughts comment. Its not very deep or even a thought. Its kinda just information that you want everyone to know apparently.

UPDATE: My brother won't have to move out he had a talk w/ my parents.

[HLGStrider]

I tried to discuss some of this with you in a pm, but you didn't seem to want to talk about it. This really isn't the place, Jesse.

I believe that God is a Father which means he is male. I don't have an issue with anyone who says he is genderless. I suppose, considering that he doesn't usually use a physical body, they are even partly right. I'm going by mental traits, not physical bodies, and God's major trait to me is fatherhood.

I accept other people's right to have other beliefs. That doesn't make them right. If I believe that my computer desk is a big chicken it doesn't make it true. I can't prove to you that my beliefs are right, but I cannot believe what I believe and believe what you believe at the same time. The beliefs are contradictory.

As I've said before, one of us is wrong. . .maybe even both. . .The search for truth is on.

[Feanorian]

I would not like to seem excluding here but I think we should get some organization to this thread. I say this because most of us our Christians and it is against our religion to have people pray for us who are not Christians......now I know Jesse that you think all of the gods are the same but to us they are not. I cant comfortablly participate in the thread knowing that someone might pray to another god for me.:(

Once again I am not trying to exclude I am just trying to bring to some peoples attention that as far as Christians go it is against our religion to participate in the worship of one universal god.

[HLGStrider]

I hadn't heard that law before. Personally, my take on someone praying to a god I know isn't real on my behalf is, "Ok. . .not going to do any good." so I don't think it is going to do any harm. There is no rule that says Christians can't pray for non-Christians, and how can we stop what other people do?

Yes, most of us our Christians, and no, as Christians we should only pray to the one god and only encourage people to pray to him, however, I don't think that prevents us from putting a request out in the open. If the other god doesn't exist it won't harm us.

(I know it is against some churches rules to pray with nonbelievers, but I wasn't aware that this was strictly biblical)

There is a Christians guild and if you feel more comfortable just posting a request there, you can do that.

[Flame of Anor]

Hey, guys. My youth group is going on a missions trip to China this Saturday. I just wanted to ask you guys to pray for us while we are over there. We will be teaching at an English camp. I also would like to ask that you pray that the students' hearts will be softened towards the Word of God. Thnx all.

[Kellivara]

guys? I need major prayers to get through the next few days, and I hope it will get better from there......but ummmm, the guy I thought I'd spend forever with (and he even told me so) just up and left me......I don't know how I can make it through these next few days.....

Wow, China. I've heard it can be a beautiful place depending on where you are. I will pray for the students to be receptive to God's word and that He would speak through all of you.

You have your whole life ahead of you. Maybe he was not the one God would have for you. Did he tell you he would be the one forever or did God tell you, there is quite a bit of difference. Just remember that God loves you more than you can imagine, He will never leave you, He will never forget about you. Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to make you prosper, not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." This verse has brought light into darkness when I was having a tough time.

[HLGStrider]

He obviously didn't have staying power, Kell. Find a guy who is in for commitment!

[Kellivara]

well now, it seems I've misunderstood. it's *not* as bad as I thought.....it's worse:( :rolleyes: :( :rolleyes: :(
we're not breaking up, just taking a break and getting back together someday that could be a week/month/year/decade from now for all I know, it's not specific.....

so....I'd like to change my prayer request.....I'd like to ask you all to pray that God will give me closure and the freedom to move on........one way or the other.........



*edit* also, if anyone wants to discuss this any further (which I doubt) please IM or PM me instead of talking about it here and spamming the prayer request thread, lol. *edit*

[HLGStrider]

prayer sent out.

Pray for an unspecified friend of mine.

[Talierin]

could you pray for my cousin? He's 16, very troubled, rebellious and angry, and I just found out that he's been smoking crystal meth and is now in drug rehab... he smokes cigarettes too, and I'm sure prolly a bunch of other stuff too

[Jesse]

Dear friends,
I have many prayer requests to bring to the throne of God. They range from my own requests to requests of my loved ones. Here they are:


1.) Please pray my hands stop hurting. For some unknown reason, this has been happening and I plan to not be online the whole week to give my hands and fingers a break. Hopefully I will grow closer to Christ during this week. I plan to re-read all my Christian books, be outside, pray, listen to CCM, & study my Bible alot. Pray I find out why they hurt so much, please.

2.) Please pray for my grandmother She might have to have her right knee replaced. Her name is Geraldine. Her fibermyelgia (sp?) is getting the best of her. Pray it heals soon, for if it doesn't...well...I don't know what'll happen.

3.) Please pray for my great-grandma. The doctors cut-off her IV and now she's just on the verge of death. Her name is Leone. If you could pray that the LORD Jesus takes her soon to bring her out of her pain, that'd be great. She has fullfilled her life job.

4.) Please pray for SouthCross Coummunity Church. We are planning on having a meeting on Thursday evening for our candidate to take Pastor Kathy's place. His name is Casey. Please pray that if this is the man of God Christ wants for our Church, that we'll accept him with open arms. Thank you all!



THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS EVERYONE. YOU TRULY ARE PRAYER WARRIORS! :)

[Éomond]

Jesse I'll be praying for you, your church, grandma, and great-grandma. But that's awsome that you're gonna read your bible more and stuff, that's soo cool.

That's my praise too. I've really been getting back into the bible and reading it more. God has really been working with my heart and changing me into the Christ-like man he wants me to be. I just loving reading the Old Testament now (:eek: ) and reading about Elijah against the dudes of Baal on Mt. Carmel (I think) it's awsome, it showed a great test of Elijah's faith to stand up to them. OH, and just reading about all the prophets in the Old Testament, they were such interesting guys that lived in such hard times but put great trust in God to get through them. Just like we should be doing now. We can't do anything without him.

Ok, sorry, I rambled.

Could I get some prayer from y'all?

Ok, there's this one girl in my youth group who very beautiful (I will say hot), hot, smart, funny, cute, beautiful.....
*Ahem*
Sorry, anyway, she's one year older than me (my brother and all his friends age) and every guy in the group likes her or thinks she's hot. Anyway, I like her, I confess, and I think she likes me (we talk all the time and hang out all the time and hold hands a cuddle on the couch) anyway, we got accused of doing bad stuff (which we did not do) and i just need prayer to get over it, i talked to the guys and got everything cleared up. And I need prayer to talk to her about how we feel about each other, we never talk about and when we do we get all quiet. So I need prayer that me and Jacqui can talk to each other about how we feel about each other. Because God has layed it on my heart to talk to her.


*Whew* that was long,:D
thanks guys! :) :D

[BranMuffin]

Éomond, are you two dating officially. If not you probably need to do so, cause it shure sounds like it to me. As far as being accused of something, it's not your fault, people aren't too bright. The best advice I have for that is to try not to put yourselves into those situations where things could be said. And remember to keep God first in your relationship with her. It is the best thing for both of you. I also noticed that in your list of traits about her you didn't mention anything about her relationship with the Lord. I think that should be the number 1 trait.
I will pray for you though, for word of wisdom and discernment. And for God to lead you both on the path He desires for your llives.

Please pray for traveling mercies for my family. We will be leaving on friday for PA. You should probably pray for all those who are going on vacation.

[Nenya Evenstar]

I will be praying, Eomond and Bran. :)

[Popqueen62]

me too. I have a prayer request too. My dad's an elder at my church, and the church is doing pretty bad lately. People have been getting really angry at him and his fellow ministers for silly reasons, or reasons unknown. It's not like my relationship with God is gonna change because of this (i was baptized this past May), or even his relationship with God.He and my mom have been getting real stressed out lately, and i'm afraid he's gonna either breakdown and get a heartattack, or he's gonna have to quit (we just suffered a 5%pay cut) and we'll have to move. Please pray for my dad and our church. Thanks

[Feanorian]

I will definitly pray for your dad that will be a trial but if you trust God you all will be able to persevere.

Could you pray that my dad's work wouldnt get rained out as it has lately. Thanks.

[HLGStrider]

Rained out? Is he a painter? Just curious. . .

[Feanorian]

Nope he is a transportor of raw materials via large truck...:D

[HLGStrider]

Ah. . .

My dad is a transporter of baked goods in a somewhat large truck, but he doesn't get rained out. He delivers the bread come sleet or hail or ice or snow. . .etc.

[Popqueen62]

of course i'll pray for you. that really stinks that your dad's work has been getting rained out lately

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for my mom. She's pregnant again but doesn't want to tell anyone in real life that she is yet because she's afraid she'll lose it. Pray for the little life inside her. Pray that she doesn't lose it.

[Captain]

My grandfather just died two days ago.:(

[Kellivara]

*hugs to all* I will pray for you.......

[Eledhwen]

Pray that she doesn't lose it. I know how she feels. She doesn't need to share her news until she's comfortable doing so; but the child exists and is already her son/daughter whatever happens. I believe in the power of proclaimation (speaking scripture out loud as prayer). You know the way a pregnant woman unconsciously cradles her 'bump' in her hands? It reminds me of Deut.33.27 "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."

As your mother goes through this time, remember Isaiah 40:11 "He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Captain, it's really hard to lose someone close to you, and God bless and keep you and your whole family at this difficult time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Popqueen62, it sounds to me like your Dad's church need to learn to submit to the leadership of the church they have put themselves in, instead of all that ankle snapping. I expect your parents know who is behind it all, and I will pray for them for discernment in how to handle the situation and that he will reveal to them any hidden agenda behind the angry words. I pray that God will strengthen them and set a hedge around them; and that he will guard their hearts and minds against all evil.

[Talierin]

My church is dying... we'll be bankrupt in 6 months, and there's people leaving left and right. My parents are actually thinking about hiring our senior pastor and starting a home church, which would be really good, I think... so if you all could just pray for God's leading in all this, that'd be great.

[Popqueen62]

Talierin, I really hope that even if your church does go bankrupt, that your home church will do very well, and that maybe you'll be able to start up the church again by getting more funds.

HLGStrider, I really hope that your mom's child inside her grows into a healthy baby and that your mom eventually feels secure enough to tell people that she's pregnant (not until she's ready of course).

Captain, I'm very sorry about your loss, and i'm praying for you and your family.

[Captain]

Thanks for your support guys.

[Flame of Anor]

Hi all, I just got back from China today, the 25th, and i will try and keep all of your requests in mind as i pray. God bless you all!!! but i must go now i am dead tired and have been awake for 36 hours on as little as 4 hours of sleep. Just pray that God will give me the strength and rest that i need to function properly. Thnx.

[HLGStrider]

What were you doing in China? Did I miss something?

[Flame of Anor]

LOL, Yeah i think you did, Elgee. I was on a Short Term Mission Trip there for about 3 weeks or so. It was so fun. I miss the kids that were in my class already and i just go back on the 25th.

Oh, i guess i should enlighten you as to what we were doing. We were teaching and "English Camp". We were to form close friendships with the kids and let the Light of God shine through us. It was a Blast!! On of the Chinese teachers got saved, and we planted seeds in the students' lives. Well, i need to go talk to you all later. God Bless

[Eledhwen]

Our church has been given permission to do a week of concentrated outreach in Swindon town centre. Please pray that many will be saved. Swindon needs it!

Elgee's Location: In the land of Oregon where the Cherries lie!
:confused: - I would have thought cherries were a more truthful fruit!:D Sorry! humour level = primary (5th grade?)

[Bethelarien]

Pray for me--my lovely younger sister just joined TTF. I'll need all the patience I can get with her (Galadwen).

Two of my daughters (Diamond and Holly) are TTF members. Any spare time I might have had between TTF visits is now spent helping them steer their way through the forum. I'm just grateful they've got past Barbie.com!

"Lord, grant Bethelarien great patience and grace to endure all trials." (thankfully we are never tested beyond our ability to endure, but it doesn't mean it's going to be fun :|)

[Elendil3119]

My church needs a lot of prayer right now. We're going through some tumultuous times right now, and my family is in the middle of it. I'm praying that it will all turn out for the good.

[Nenya Evenstar]

You're in my prayers. :)

All these churches going through the mill! What is happening? I'll tell you what's happening. Someone in these churches is making a real difference for the Kingdom and has roused the attention of the enemy. Unhappily, this is normally facilitated through other members of the same church. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but agains the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies." (Ephesians 6:12)

[e.Blackstar]

I'll pray for y'all. Um...also, My mom is really depressed lately, and she feels that God doesn't care about her anymore. That needs prayer, and I (in my own clumsiness) wiped out on my cousin's bike and chewed up my foot pretty good. Its hurts sooooooo bad!
Tx

[BranMuffin]

Wow I'm gone for a couple weeks and the requests poured in...maybe that's a sign. I will remember you all in my prayers.
As for me I need prayer for wisdom and compassion. And to know what God has planned for my life.

[HLGStrider]

I'm just a tad bit sick so please pray for me.

My sister has a bad throat which makes her sound very. . .interesting. . .please pray for her.

[Nenya Evenstar]

How's your Mom doing, Elgee?

Will be praying. :)

[HLGStrider]

She's fine. . .thank you for asking.

[Éomond]

Guys, I just need alot of prayer right now, here the sitc....

There's this girl I like, and I need to tell her that and I just need courage to tell here, because I've put it off for to long and our friendship means to much. So I need prayer.

(Sorry I'm such an emotional little dude:D)

You're all in my prayers:)

[Stridir]

i will pray for you Éomond! Because i am sure that the girl you like and what to tell her will like you just the same back.... :D
i will pray that you find enough courage to tell her.

[ILLOTRTM]

This is such a wonderful thread.... I haven't really noticed it until now. Well, I definitely have someone I'd like to get some prayers for; my cousin; her name is Elaina. My aunt (her mother) commited suicide 16 months ago, and her father left before she was born. She's now living with another one of my aunts, but she's having an extremely tough time. The poor girl has been sort of swayed in with the wrong crowds before, and things have not been well. However, lately she has been getting much better, and she was just placed in a private catholic all-girls school. I hope you will pray for her that things may improve in her life and that God might guide her on a better path.

Thank you, God bless you all.

~Cora

[HLGStrider]

Hope it gets better. . .

[Stridir]

Could you guys pray for someone. i didnt even know them, but there was a bad car crash up in Mt. Hood (in washington) and there was a cpuple body bags so could you pray for the familys of these people. i know i am. thnx

[HLGStrider]

Mt. Hood is in Oregon. . .Tallest mountain in Oregon, in fact. Very pretty mountain. . .You can see some pictures I posted of it in the Photo Album.

Prayer sent out.

[Galdor]

Here, to make things easier I thought it would be a good idea just to post all the prayer request that have been given in the last month. I left out the ones that I know are no longer applicable. And btw, if I got anyone’s gender wrong....I'm truly sorry; I don't know everyone here as well as I should.

Popqueen62: Prayer for her Church and parents.
Feanorian: Prayer that the rain doesn’t keep her dad from his work.
HLGStrider: Prayer for her mom…she’s pregnant. Also she needs prayer for herself and her sister, both are sick.
Captain: Prayer for him and his family…his grandfather died.
Talierin: Prayer for her Church.
Flame of Anor: Pray that God will give him the daily strength and energy to get through each day.
Bethelarien: Pray that she will have patience with her sister you recently joined TTF.
Elendil3119: Needs prayer for his Church.
Treyar: Needs prayer for his mom…she’s been getting depressed lately. And that his foot will heal quickly.
BranMuffin: Needs prayer for wisdom and compassion. And to know what God has planned for his life.
Éomond: Needs prayer in regards to his relationship with a girl he knows.
ILLOTRTM: Needs prayer for her cousin Elaina…her mom committed suicide a little over a year ago…and she’s going through some really hard times right now.
Stridir: Some unknown (to us) people were killed in a car crash up at Mt. Hood. Prayer for their families and friends is needed.

[Éomond]

Yes, thanks for the prayers people, it means alot.

Stridir- I might tell her when we go to Wild Waves tomorrow, I'm glad you can come, and hope she feels the same way, but i doubt it alot:( But she might!:D

Yes, good ole Mt. Hood, been there a few times, very cool.:)

Again, I'm praying for you all.

[Stridir]

thats awsome that you might tell her. thnx for the pray and i waill pray for all you guys too.

[Eriol]

Nice move, Galdor. I had prayed for all of them, but this helped me to do it again.

Yes, thank you Galdor. That was very helpful. I think that one of us on here should do that more often.

-Flame

[Galdor]

Ya, I think it would be a great help if someone did this once a month, or every couple weeks. It's always easier to just look at one post to remember all the prayer request then having to go through the last couple pages, imo at least.

[Talierin]

Update on the church thing: My mom, sister and I decided to leave my church a couple weeks ago, now we're going to a really great little baptist church in my neighborhood, so I'm glad about that :)

My cousin, Cody, really really really needs prayer.... he's a very troubled kid, and now apparently he's addicted to crystal meth. He got out of drug rehab for it a week ago, but he's already had two relapses and they're going to stick him in long-term rehab. He really needs God in his life :(

[Galdor]

Chrysophalax's brother died today. So both her and the rest of her family need prayer. Thanks guys.

[HLGStrider]

Where did you hear? IM?

[Flame of Anor]

Prayer for the icky colds in my area to go away. . .that includes mine.

[Galdor]

Hey, I've got a friend who has something wrong with her that the doctors can't figure out, and also her mom has been very sick lately and is getting worse, so she's also been in and out of a lot of hospitals. So prayer for both of them would be much appreciated.

[Jesse]

Please pray my hands stop hurting. Thanxs.

[elfgirl]

Please pray for my mom's TA, Ann. She fell on her back and was paralyzed from the waist down. Also, please pray for one of my teachers, Mrs. Pike. She wasn't in school on Monday, and we learned that she has cancer. Please pray for her to get better. And please pray for my sister. She's really depressed because of recent events. You're all in my prayers. Thank You, and God Bless.

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for the wildfires in my area. . .or against the wild fires in my area. . .for the homes threatened by them (I live in Oregon).

[HLGStrider]

Please pray for Elbereth's father who is ill.

[Elendil3119]

I am going to be hiking up Mt. St. Helens on Thursday with some friends, so I'd like prayer for good weather and safety. Thanks! :)

[HLGStrider]

Throw something in the cratar for me and get some pumice!

I love that Mt. Never hiked it, but I love it.

[Turin]

I'm thinking about throwing my cheap little One Ring in. ;) The hike is 10 miles, so I'm gonna bring a video camera to film my poor little brother crawling to the top. :D

I'll be praying for you, and good luck! One word of advice: go all out uphill, but take it easy downhill, so you don't crash. ;) Unless you're good at descending...

[Turin]

Well I've got all the right gear but I haven't been on the course in 2 years and its changed. The last time I went I got lost:(.

LOL, sorry but there is no such thing in Florida. You've got either flat or....flat. Downhill is fun for big people....

I will pray for you all.

[Turin]

Actually there are some pretty big rocky hills in Florida, espesially in that course, it was made around an old lime rock pit, its pretty dangerous.

[Talierin]

That's "hills", Turin ;)

Here we have MOUNTAINS! :D (cool, except I don't like them much...)

Umm, yeah, back on topic now...

Please pray for my friend Ruth, she's working part time and going to school full time, plus trying to plan her wedding and getting time to visit her fiancé who's at the U of Chicago, or in Missouri (she lives in Minnesota). Also, his family hasn't really accepted her yet, so she's kinda worried about going there for Thanksgiving.

[Turin]

Heres a link to the course's website, http://www.goneriding.com/RB.htm , I hope it works.

[Turin]

I guess I should tell you what place I got, well I got 11th out of 15 that isn't that bad for my first race;), in the begining I was doing well, I was in the front four, then as I went up one of the first hills my chain came off so most of the people in my catagory passed me:( and that set me back for most of the race. But it was fun and thank you for praying for me, I didn't get hurt except for some scratches on my arms. Oh yeah and I got up to 26.5 on the biggest hill there and I was using the brakes alot.

P.S.~ Pray for my sister (who's in college) and my mom (who's going into nursing) because they have alot of homework and are really stressed out.

[Rhiannon]

My best friend (of eleven years) might have eye cancer.

There is 'something wrong' with my younger sister's heart- it doesn't beat properly.

And they are both taking everything in stride with a good sense of humor and I am a nervous wreck.

[elfgirl]

Please pray for me. I'm going through a really rough time in my life. I'm praying for you all. Thanx & God Bless

[Evenstar373]

Will some of you pray for the kids on my bus they practicaly tried to demon posses someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[Turin]

Please pray for me, my brother and my friend in the bike race coming up. And pray for safety for everyone who's there. Also please pray that I'll have a better attitude towards school and my life, and that I won't be so mad and stressed out all the time.

[HLGStrider]

On the subject of answered prayers, I passed my drivers test. . .which means now you have to start praying for the pedestrians and other drivers who are in grave danger. . .;)

Pray for me. Anxious meeting tomorrow.

[Kellivara]

this is one of the first prayers I've requested here.....and is by far the most important of anything I've ever prayed for. I'm happy and terrified at the same time to such an extreme that I'm trembling, if that means anything to you.



My Prayer Request is this:

My Aunt just had a baby. Two months early. The baby is two pounds. The baby is a little girl, who's precious little newborn life is currently in the Intensive Care Unit, and in need of your prayers. If I never ask anything from anyone ever again, let it be this. I pray that she will grow stronger, and go on to lead a perfectly normal life, with no complications. I pray that my aunt is doing well, and that all will go well. Other than that all I can say is that this baby is very, very important. Important to my mother's entire side of the family, and to me, and especially to her parents, though it's not my place to say why. Please pray for this little girl with all your hearts, and I thank you form the bottom of mine.

God Bless You All

[BlackCaptain]

I wish the best for your cousin Kellivara... I can only hope that she can be lead to as close a normal life as possible, if not a normal life.

Please just keep me in your good intentions... This week is the City Championship Week for Cross Country in Toledo, Ohio. I'm the 2nd on the JV team, 9th on the team in whole (Based on this past saturday's results), and am going to need all the help I can get so I can do my best for the team. Since I'll most deffinately be scoring for the team, my place will be critical for the rest of the JV teams performance, and the Varsity's team attitude. Me and 29 others have poured our lives into this team for the past 3 months, every day (sometimes twice a day). The summit of the 90 days of endurance is this saturday, and I'd ask that you lend me your well wishes. I'll need them. We haven't worked this hard to come in third.

quite a load for a freshman huh? haha

[Kellivara]

best of luck BC^_^ You can do it!!! GO TEAM!!!! (yeah, that was a pitiful bit of cheer, but you should count yourself lucky as it's more than my school's teams have ever gotten out of me:p lol^_^)





Also, if anyone wants to know, my baby cousin is being weaned off of oxygen now (she may be off it already or she may be back on it, I don't know yet as they haven't called us yet tonight to update us.)

by the way, I'll keep posting updates on her condition unless someone tells me otherwise (not as in every five seconds there's an update but as in every time something changes, or when someone asks) so if anyone thinks updates are a bad idea, speak now or forever hold your peace^_~ thank you all very much for your continuing prayers^_^

[Arlina]

Awww.. i'm sorry Kell, I too will pray for you cousin.

If ya'll will please pray for my uncle. He's trying to get over cancer and his body's not making any blood. Last time, they had to give him about 3 things of blood. Those things around about a pint each, so yeah....

Also, one of my good friends in Christ was hit by a drunken driver the second day she was in college. Thank God, she's still alive, but she still has some bruises and some moral support.

And if you could, I have nine weeks exams sarting tomorrow!! And I hope that you can pray for me to pass them all!!!

All prayers are welcome!!! Thanks soo very much!!!

in Christ,

Arlina

[HLGStrider]

I think updates are a good idea. . .

Eventually, if this thread gets any longer, do you think we should delete it and start over? Like we did before? To keep it accessible?

[Kellivara]

update: my cousin is still on the oxygen, but they DID take her off the ventilator today. she'll still have to be fed from a tube for a while, because her stomach is a little off, but my aunt got to hold her for the first time today, and my uncle gets to hold her tomorrow^_^ small steps, but it's something! thanks again for continued prayers^_^

[BlackCaptain]

In exactly 12 hours from now (9:15) I will be starting my City Championship race! Wish me luck! I'm shootin for a 17:45 (3.1 Miles, 5K), and hopefully thats good enough for 1st in the race I'm in...

[Lifeling]

If you could all offer up a prayer for me... Im going through some major changes in my life.... got some major discisions to make... I just need prayer that God would give me direction.

Thanks

[Turin]

Please pray for me, I have a race in north Florida next sunday. It'll be hard because we're going up to Georgia 3 days before and we usually come back on sunday but I don't know how we're going to do it. :(

[BlackCaptain]

I'm just gettin back from the big race...

I won the JV race!!!

17:08 was my time if anyone cares to know! I'm on top of the world

[Turin]

BC, Exactly what kind of race was it?

[BlackCaptain]

5K (3.1 Miles) Cross country race thru one of the finest looking golf courses in Northwest Ohio. The scenery, the slight fog, the temperature, the trees... it was all plain and simply perfect.
