Prayer requests

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Post your prayer requests here.

EDIT: If you're praying for someone, let them know by using the "Thank you" reaction.

Wisdom in the job hunt.

Being 40 and questioning life choices is not fun.

My husband and I were homeless for several years. We’re in transitional housing now, but we’re still struggling to make the rent and pay bills. Any prayers will be very much appreciated.

OK, I’m sorry for potentially being a wet blanket, but this is a secular discussion board, and this just feels really, really wrong to me.

I’m just on a short break from work right now, so for now I’m just going to lock the thread. After work, I will discuss this with the rest of the staff and make a final decision.

My sympathies to anyone who is struggling right now.

 

[Avro Arrow]

After some thoughtful discussion with other members of staff (thank you, all), I have decided to reopen the thread.

I would like to point out, though, that we already have some long-running threads where members can ask for support from the TrekBBS community:

• Mental Wellness Support Group
• Things that frustrate us all
• Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Note that the last two are not just limited to requests for support, but people have posted requests for support in them many times. In fact, in all three threads, people have asked for thoughts and/or prayers at times, and, of course, anyone is welcome to do so at any time.

This forum has a very large non-religious segment, so it may be that by limiting your requests for support to specifically religious folks, you may be missing out on support from non-religious folks who may have otherwise been willing to offer it. But, if that is your preference, there's no reason to prevent you from doing so.

So enjoy the thread, and apologies for the temporary closure.

I think it's perhaps to better to pray for others as opposed to yourself. But two years after a phone incident near Christmastime, I still pray my best friend will forgive me for my disorientation that night. It seems so wasteful to nullify 15 previous years of friendship for one off-night. But I found a new equally close friend I'm dating regularly, and she's tolerant enough not to mountainize any microaggressions I seem to be repeatedly causing.

Please pray for me, my roommate Tyson, and Connie's family who is truly grieving right now. Thanks.

It is with a heavy heart but also a grateful soul, that I'm reporting my beloved cousin Connie Sturrock Whittenton has passed away. I only knew her for six years, but she quickly became a "spiritual mother" to me, second only to my birth Mom. I was a complete emotional and mental basket case when I first moved here, but she found me a good doctor who helped me become more stable. What I really remember most though, are our conversations both on Facebook and at my home. I rarely visited where she lived, primarily due to personal reasons.

Almost three years ago, Connie was diagnosed with colon cancer, and for a long time she fought it bravely with all that she had. Even in moments of extreme physical pain and what must have been deep despair, she stuck it out...and I never once heard her blame God for her condition. But the majority of her life in total had been defined by pain, both physical and emotional. Above all else though, the one thing that defined Connie's life was her love for God and His Son Jesus Christ. I am choosing to be at peace myself, knowing she is finally with her Savior, freed from her numerous hardships. I love you Connie, and here's to eternity; give warm hugs to your Mom and mine, when you see them both. Always and forever - I will never forget you.

All the best—the holidays seem to draw misery these days…last time I felt jolly was the early 70’s

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Calmness and joy to all..... I don't really have anything I would honestly want prayed for but best wishes to all.

 

[fireproof78]

Healing for myself, my sister in law and the other driver after our accident Friday.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this but hey why not couldn't hurt I guess..

Prayers to find interesting people in 2025 I am getting too old haha.... Long story short there is one girl I know we have had some amazing conversations, she models for me occasionally and we talked about things from plants to marriage, she's still waiting for her SO to actually say something but it just isn't happening anyway stupid me blurts out that if she was a year or two older I'd be wanting to ask her out. She is 22 at the moment. Anyway I am rambling. I don't feel like that about her now but we are still friendly but that's the kind of thing I mean I would like to meet more interesting people to do stuff with.

Prayers for a friend's family: just got bad medical news for the dad, and oldest son had to go in to the behavioral health wing for observation due to safety concerns. It's not been a good time.

 

[fireproof78]

My daughter is going to the ER.

My daughter is going to the ER.

Oh no! I hope everything is OK!

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Same. Wishing you everything goes well

 

[fireproof78]

Thank you both. Unfortunately, she didn't get fully checked in at her regular doctor so the triage nurse sent her to the ER to do basic tests.

To say I'm upset is to put it mildly.

I get it, getting that kind of news would freak me out too. But fortunately it sounds like it was just a bureaucratic snafu, so I'm glad to hear nothing was actually wrong health-wise.

Here's hoping..now waiting for doctor to let us know if her gallbladder needs to come out.

 

[fireproof78]

Thank you all. Not gallbladder but now have tired and cranky teen who still is trying to figure out why she gets stomach aches.

Today marks one month since my cousin Connie made her trip to Heaven. Please continue to pray for her family. Thanks.
