How Can We Pray for Each Other?
How incredible is it that we can speak directly to God?! Prayer shouldn’t feel like an obligation or something to check off the list each day—it’s a special privilege to connect with our Creator. We can come as we are and talk openly and frankly about anything in our lives.
There is great power in prayer. And as the One Prayer community prays together during this series, we know God is going to do amazing things. Today, let’s pray for each other. Add a quick prayer request below to let us know how we can pray for you. Then, take a few minutes to pray for others who’ve posted, perhaps adding a comment to show your support. And by all means, come back and let us know when God answers your prayer so we can celebrate with you!

Ive joined in the one prayer series and the fasting as well. I pray for anyone and EVERYONE who doesnt know our lord and savior will somehow be brought to him. I also have been carrying a list around with me while fasting on tuesdays of all the people that are close to me that need the love of christ. I read over the list periodicly to pray for them. This message gives me hope not only for my loved ones but for everyone else as well. i praise God for what i know he will do in this series! I just ask that you pray especially for my sister who is so lost and has no joy in her life at all!! thanks for your prayers for my family as i pray for yours!! God is moving as we speak!!
Please pray for my son, Ashton. He is 2 1/2-will be 3 in July. He has never walked or talked, and just now on the verge of crawling (kind of). I pray for a miracle for him-I so long for him to be able to walk
and talk (or at least communicate so we know what he wants and needs). He is such a happy
little guy-he lights up the room when he is around! I just pray so hard and ask you to do the
same so that there might be a miracle in store for him.
Hi Everyone,
Please pray for Beth (7yrs) who is the daughter of some very good friends of ours, who are not Christians. She is undergoing major brain surgery on the 24th of June. She has had cerebral palsy from birth. Our friends know we are getting a number of churches to pray for her and our church is also involved in OnePrayer so we would love to put this prayer request out there to you all. I pray that the surgery is a complete success; that our friends and their dear family would see the mighty hand of God at work and that they would recognise this as the work of Jesus in their daughters life. Amen!
I'll be praying for you today James. Gods Blessings on you all.
Lord pray for my church that we may get the amount needed for the year to keep our church going strong. We need more people to join our church. Please send your word forth to bring more of your disciples to our church At Turner Road Church of Christ and also for our members to give more money so the blessing they give will fall upon others in all they do for the Kingdom. I also would like for my brother in everythng he does is for the kingdom of God because he is not saved at all. Thank you for listening to me.
I would like to request a prayer for work for my husband. He has been slower this year than usual. He is in roofing. Also our friends are staying with us they need to find a place of there own. They are good people down on there luck. With five kids it is hard to find a place. And there is a situation with my father in law that is complicated and we all need prayer on this one. Thank you for caring and for reading this .
I am in desperate need of prayer for my family. I have been in ongoing battle with my exhusband.
The situation has become out of hand. I really took the sermon to heart yesterday. It made me
realize that know matter how difficult the situation may be, Jesus is bigger than the problem.
I NEED to belive that. It seems like an impossible situation and I am just about hopeless. I will
be fasting tomorrow and praying for my needs as well as the needs of others. I need a miracle!
I beg for you to pray for me for the LORD our GOD to have mercy on me and my family. I have an interview tomorrow and i need the LORD to dismiss my case. May the Lord's favour be upon me. May Heavenly father grant my family Long Life Good Health and Prosperity and may HE accomplished all that HE has promised us. May GOD's favour be upon my children and my husband, the days of poverties, sickness, failure, are gone in our lives in Jesus name. May Heavenly father protect my husband whom is working away from the family may he show him mercy.
My daughter has always had a problem making friends and as a result she does not always choose the right people. She also will do things to maintain that 'friendship' which usually brings her - and I - great grief. She has been arrested and goes to a hearing tomorrow. I ask that you keep her in prayer tomorrow at 2:30 EST. I am not asking that she 'get away with anything' - I am asking for mercy from the corut (this is her first charge ever - but more important I am asking that she have a new awareness and knowledge in her personal struggles in life. She knows the Lord but she has been led astray from his teachings. I pray that God puts more people in her path to show her true friendship and that she has another change to have a good life without a criminal record. Thank you
AS- We pray for your friend to know God's healing. We pray that he give up control of his life and yield to the Lord. We are a couple from the Fort Worth campus praying for you!
Wow! I just read through all the posts and....what an eye opener!! I feel that so many times we go through our daily lives not understanding the struggles & situations that other people are facing. I have been truly humbled by these prayer requests & will be fasting & praying for you all. There were a few that really touched my heart & want you to know that my thoughts are prayers are with you.

I would like to post a prayer request as well. My grandpa had a severe stroke about 4 yrs ago. He then fell two years later & had to have a hip replacement. He is completely incapable of doing anything on his own & my grandmother has been taking care of him (in their home) for the past 4 years. They were such an inspiration to me growing up & were the most amazing, God-fearing, Christian couple I have ever known. They served in the same church for over 50 years and are such a blessing in lives of so many people. My grandma is such a rock & pray for her strength daily. My father helps out but sometimes only adds to the stress of their daily lives. He has mental issues and is very unstable & therefore (in a sense) my grandma has to care for him as well. So I would just like to ask for you to pray for healing in my grandpa, a sense of peace, joy & strength for my grandma, & clarity & healing in my dad.
Thank you & all the posts are in my thoughts & prayers!!
Here is a tidbit for all those suffering:
"To know what to believe is not all that is required to please God. Truth untested by life's experiences may become static or stagnant. Suffering can bring a dynamic quality to life. Just as a drought drives the roots of a tree deeper to find water, so suffering can drive us beyond superficial acceptance of truth to dependence on God for hope & life."
~Life Application Study Bible, in reference to Job 14:22
I would really appreciate prayer for a friend of mine who is in the midst of a hardcore battle with OCD and depression. It has been an extremely difficult time these past several months and things seem to be getting worse. He needs nothing short of a miracle to understand God's love once again and to have hope for the future.
Since this series has started both my husband and I have experienced first hand what non-believers think about us (Christians as a whole). My husband Mark met a guy at work that is a self-proclaimed atheist and I have met someone at work that thinks there may be a higher power but has "lost faith" as she says. It has been interesting to see how amazed these two people are that we are genuinely interested in hearing their opinions on how they view Christians. They can't believe that there is actually a church out there willing to just listen instead of judging them. We need lots of prayers for God to show us, teach us, and guide us to lead these two people to "become fully devoted followers of Christ". That would be our ONE PRAYER during this series...to lead more people to become followers of Christ.
Kathy, I am praying for you!
As a breast cancer survivor, I can truly say to you that Christ is the bigger C and He is bigger than anything you may be going through! Trust in Him and He will be with you, comfort you, and guide you. Let Him wrap his arms around you and bring you peace and healing. Trust and hope girl! God is good, all the time.!!! Hold on tight to your fork, the best is yet to come!!
I am a member @ Life Church TV/Tulsa campus.
I would really appreciate prayer. I love the Lord. I am desparate for a miracle. My health keeps getting worse and worse. I have had 3 sinus surgeries in the last year. I was just told I need another one. Also, the doctor saw "something" in the CT scan that he has no idea what it is. He thought it might be a piece of a bone or something. When it is in YOUR head it is scary. I was in the hospital recently for blood clots. It just seems like things just keep compounding themselves. I have had a low grade temp. all weekend. New symptoms keep popping up and none of the doctor's have any answers---they just keep taking the money. I am discouraged and very tired. I need to keep my job and it is really taking it out of me. Please pray!!!
Please pray for my son Chris. He's 18 yrs.He is currently in SanDiego Cal. in the Marines enduring 13 weeks of bootcamp. He flew from Mich to Cal. June 9,2008 the day after his senior graduation. Pray that God's hands of protection would rest upon him during these next weeks away from family also that God would put Christian influences in his path .
Please pray for my husband James(Jim) as he is scheduled for court AUG2008. Pray! Pray! He is facing 15 years . Thru the jail ministery (ForgottenMans) founded by well known christian speaker Chuck Colson, Jim has recommitted his life to Jesus Christ. I'm not speaking of jail house religion. Jim is daily reading the Bible as well as praying. I am currently raising our 14 mon. son alone. I need my husband restored back into the household to help support and raise our son.
Please pray for my father who had a heart attack last year and suffered brain damage. My mother has had to take care of him 24/7 for the past 6 months. he cant even roll over in bed or feed himself. My mother and unsaved mentally ill brother are exhausted from taking care of him. I can only give respite every few months through family leave. Please pray that God would show his mercy and heal my father and brother (also save my brother) and give a much needed divine rest to my mother.
unspoken needs
Please pray for our family to be able to sell our house. We are away from our church where the entire family was connected. My husband is working away from home during the week and only home on the weekends. I know there are many prayer requests of a more serious nature, but any prayers would be appreciated.
Chris.... I am praying for Baby Ayden and your family right now. I have experienced some time
with sick little babies and I understand your deep desire to see him healthy and home with
you! I am praying for Ayden's healing and that God will fill you with strength and you will be
able to receive His grace to bring you through this tough time in the life of your family.
Please pray for me as I struggle with the addiction to alcohol. I'm 4 days sober and I know I can't do this alone. I've been attending AA meetings and Church, but know that I need God in my life to succeed. Please, pray for me!

I wanted to ask for everyone to pray for my new son Ayden who is one week old and still in ICU at mercy, having problems eating and also may have a chromosome problem that may effect him later in life. Me and my wife Shea will be praying everyday all day untill he comes home, but until then we will be leaning on our faith and all of those who stand beside us in our journey, we are very thankful for all who care and try to help with our pain.So if it is possible we would like to ask for the prayers we could get and ask for all to fast with us on tuesday so we may have a miricle of our own and also see the miricles all around us that we know will be happening. we will post all the one we see so thank you very much and have a very blessed fathers day.

We are standing in agreement with her parents for total healing. Thank you all for joining in prayer for so many of the needs that have been posted on OnePrayer. I'm praying for you all.
Please pray that my sister Charlotte's court hearing goes well on Wednesday and that Cheyenne is returned home. Pray that the judges's eyes and ears are open and that he sees and hears the truth.
God has put my husband and I on a journey. He has reveiled some things in the last few days that is out of my league but I know that if God is wanting it done He will supply the courage and strength to step out of the boat and walk on the water.

sveselak,
I understand, when you say unequally yoked. My husband and are are too. We did not live with God's truth in our lives. Therefore I found a man that was just like my father. I felt comfortable when we met because all I knew was, life was a roller cioaster. I am saved and my husband is not. We have been together for 30 years. He is an alcoholic. I plead and beg him to see his self desrtuction and the destruction of our marriage.. We split for a few months. He promised many things but did nothing. All this time I have been reading "The Power Of A Praying Wife" by: Stormie Martin. Please get the book if you have not already. I learned to detatch myself from my husbands effects on me. I still love him and I am now doing things for him that I recented before. BECAUSE, I look at what I do for my husband and our home, as serving God and delighting in it. Not serving a man who is unkind due to his disease. We now are going together to see our Pastor. That was a step I never in a million years thought my husband would take. God is Merciful.
I will pray for the restoration of your marriage, I pray God will fill your hearts with the same wonderful love you felt when you met each other, I pray for your children also , that God will wrap his comforting arms around them and fill their hearts with love. For God Loves us even when we are not seeking him. I pray for God to show you clarity and reveal what he has planned for you as you walk beside him. Take a few minutes, close your eyes and envision Jesus holding you close and comforting you. Remember there is no Greater Love than our Fathers. You may e-mail me if you like. gardenhugger@yahoo.com

PLease please pray that God restore my marriage. I need God so much right now. I thought things were getting better between us and God was healing us but we continue to struggle daily. There are so many issues between us and the biggest one is his past drug problem that he thinks I should be over and trust him already again. I just got off the phone with him and he said he's calling divorse attorneys. I don't know what to do. I need you God so badly. Please restore our love and our marriage if its your will. WE have four kids and we all just moved back in together after a 4 month split while he was in rehab recovering.
I read Criag Groesheles book about going all the way and man I did the marriage and dating thing all wrong and I truely believe that we have been in the past very unequally yoked and thats why we have had the struggles we've had. He's come to God and I've come to God but we continue to struggle. Please help us LORD, Please restore trust, love, peace and happiness in our home. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been so incredibly patient on the LORD but what do you do when its such a struggle are we just not supposed to be together?
Please pray for my husband and I and our family, that God restore us to be stronger family and deeply committed to God's will for our lives.
To all of you who have posted a prayer request today I have written your name on a piece of paper and prayed for your specific request and then placed the paper under the cross so God can carry your burdens.
I am asking for prayers that my youngest son reframes from using bad words (to try and act coo), my oldest son learns to eat better and be more healthy and for my husband to have more patience with our children. I ask for prayers that my business will continue to provide us with the resources we need during these tough economic times and that God will continue to work in us so we cann always respond to his call.
Thank you.
I pray for you Terrie and for your son. Please continue to pray and to rely on God. He can do amazing things! Please pray for my health. Thank you.
All of those listed below will continue to be lifted up in prayer. Thank you all that have lifted up my prayer request :) I would like to add another, please pray for my three older children, Jon, Paul and Alycia. As young adults they are stuggling. They have walked away from the Word of God and I can only ask and pray that God work on them. I pray for Godly people to come into their lives and make an impact. I thank the Lord each and every day that I have this wonderful life and my relationship with Him. To have the freedom to come to worship Him freely. Again, my family and I will pray continue to pray for you all. Many blessings..Jamie
Kandice,
wow thats so encouraging....all the things your husband is now doing to be envolved in the church and with your kids. Thats exactly what I am believing God for my husband and our family. I just want our house to have hearts for only God and his will for our lives. Your story is truely encouraging. I BELIEVE IT WILL ALL HAPPEN FOR ME TOO, PRAISE GOD :)
Please pray for my dear friend Mario who has been in the hospital since January. It was his birthday yesterday. Please pray that he gets weaned off the ventilator soon, otherwise he will be forced to be shipped over a hundred miles away from his family and friends. Please pray for a miracle and Thank God for the miracle in advance for Mario's healing. He would love to be able to eat and drink again. The specifics are that he gets off the ventilator and that he passes a swallowing study so he can eat again. This is his miracle wish. He is a stong young man with Cerebal Palsy and only wishes to eat again and be near his family.
Please pray for Joan Lyles who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We know that God can turn this around.
I would like it if You all could pray for Cameron, ron (dad), Marie(Grandma), Nick (Grandpa), Chandelle (sister), And i will pray for the rest thanks =)
Hello, my name is Terrie. I am disabled with some very painful deseases. I have ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, liver function problems, and other health issues. My husband has divorced me and left me and our son with very little. My son is a very loving child, but is having anger issues. Please pray for him, he has Aspergers Syndrome and dysgraphia with some other minor coordination problems. He is 11 and is still unable to ride a bike, use a skateboard, etc., like 'normal' kids do. He is very smart though, and is considered 'high-functioning'. We need prayers for our health, emotional healing, as well as prayers for our daily lives. We are about to be on the street soon. My ex is saying he will be evicting us after June 15th. I can't work, have been turned down for disability, SSI, Medicaid, etc. So far, I haven't been able to get anything done for my healthcare needs. Please pray for me today, as I go to the Indigent Healthcare Office, my last chance for help, and apply there today. I am almost ourt of the Kadian I need for pain relief and I need your support. Without the medicine, I am in so much pain that all I can do is roll into a ball and moan and cry, no matter how much I want to be strong. I am praying for everyone else in need here too. By the way, my son loves to watch Jentezen on TV. He brings such a wonderful message to our young people. Love to you all, in Christ.
Please keep the 4HIM mission team in your prayers, they are returning home tomorrow from Sierra Leone. I pray they return home safely!
Robert at OKC LifeChuch.tv, I pray that God will call you back to seek Him through prayer. May you be united with a group of partners that will help to encourage you to pray. May you come to open your Bible and just speak to Father God and learn to have conversation and speak praise from your lips to His ears.
Jeff from Clearwater Church, may God pierce the hearts of those in your community to come together in unity and love and be open to the power of Christ in all of you that are called to be His disciples, and that it is your purpose to be used for the glory and honor of the one true God. May the truth of His word be confirmed as the same yesterday, today, and forever and may your prayers be answered.
JPHornburg, God will take care of your wife's work and your finances as you learn to trust in Him and seek your place in the kingdom. I know it's tough sometimes, but even when it seems too late it is never too late for God to show up...I pray Romans 15:13 for you both and through your hope God will be glorified.
Heidi from South Tulsa LifeChurch.tv, thanks for inviting others to your worship service this weekend. To be in attendance at a time when messages are being shown about how we as Christians shouldn't be happy and complacent and only through the unity of Christ's love can we become harmonious with culture without being immersed in it. You're awesome!
*Please pray for Revolution Church Sacramento to connect with those that God wants amongst us. We're not expecting much attendance as our services start at 1:30pm and it's Father's Day, but Pastor Steven Furtick is going to light up this city with God's word and I pray that we come with open minds and hearts to receive this teaching and seek to become ONE.
bipolar son. . . healing
Wow, I can't believe I just went through and prayed for all these prayer requests.
That was awesome! What a blessing. My heart goes out to so many of you, and
is encouraged by your faith and glory in the Lord. Thanks to all of you who shared.
It is such an honor to be able to lift up one another to the Lord God who is more than
able and willing to help us, his precious children.
I would ask that you pray that God's love for the lost would fill me so much that his Spirit
would flow through me effortlessly. I let fear and insecurity keep me from talking about
Him which is crazy because I love Him so much. And I hate that so many don't know Him.
I want to trust Him completely. And would you also pray that the Lord would guide us and
provide financially for our family's formidable health needs. GOD IS SO GOOD!
I've invited people to attend church with me this weekend. So I pray that they will actually come and then that when they get there they will feel the sweet presence of God in the experiences.
Ashleigh -
I just said a prayer for you and your husband. I know financial troubles aren't easy to deal with sometimes. Be faithful to God and know that He is your source. He will make provision for His children...He already has it! He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. =)
I ask that all of you please pray for me and my husband's finances. We are really struggling, I sat down today to look at our bills and I don't know how we can keep going. We have made some bad choices in the past, by spending money more than we should, and I pray that we continue to be cautious and to not spend needlessly, and that our financial burden is lifted. It is really frustrating my husband, because he blames himself for not making enough, he is a US Marine who just returned home from Iraq in Feb. and it has been a hard adjustment. I pray that he see what I see and that is an awesome man who fought for our country. Sorry to go on and on, but I am just so worried about our finances, and where money is going to come from, and I don't want my husband to be burdened with feeling the way he feels. Thank you all in advanced for your prayers, I believe in the power of prayer and I am so blessed to be part of One prayer!
I am praying for all of the names and requests listed below.
May God bless all of you!
Please pray for my sister in law who is in Iraq right now that she may be safe and come home to her family. And pray for my brother that he will be at peace with the situation and not overwhelmed with the responsibility of being "mr mom" right now. Pray that I will be able to keep a good witness with my friends and coworkers and will be able to influence them for Christ. My fiance, Cisco, also needs prayers right now for wisdom on how to handle some family situations in his life. Thanks to all of you all who are praying. I stand in agreement with the prayers posted here and will keep praying for you all. One prayer has been an awesome experience to draw me back into conversation with God.

monica e. Victory church okc
I want to join in prayer with every one that already posted on this blog & everyone that will do so
in the future, because as Jesus said in Matthew 18:19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. So imagine the
power there is in uniting togethere as believers & bringing our request to God.
I want to lift up an important man in my life, his name is Grant, he had fallen far from God & is now
realizing that he needs Him in is life, all that because of the changes & the decision that I made,
how awsome & humbling!! I pray that God would bring great godly men in his life that will help
him draw closer to our wondeful savior. I pray this in Jesus name!! Amen
My wife, Kristin, was let go from work 2 1/2 months ago and has struggled in her attempts to find a new career. Although she has had several interviews, she has little to show for her efforts. This had been her fourth job in six years and was looking forward to a long tenure with this company. Very difficult for me to keep her (our) spirits up when our finances are taking a beating. Please pray for encouragement for as we wait God to show us the way.
I have sort of been a board hog today but I realize the mighty power of prayer, especially in numbers. My sister in law Charissa has wanted a baby for many many years and I would like to ask that yall please please please pray her and my brother will finally be blessed with the miracle of new life. I also have a friend named Liz dealing with infertility also and would like to ask for the same prayer for her. Thanks and sorry to hog the board. :-)
Sveselak, thank you for your prayers. I am completely touched by perfect strangers praying for me. I will pray your husband take the reigns and leads. I never thought my husband would either, but all I had to do was pray. I wrote him a long letter after the second week of the Warrior series about what I needed from him and that was my final words in the letter and the most important. Trials in life are what make you stronger so your husband should not shy from leadership because of it, if anything those things are what make you a more effective leader. My husband is now going to be working in lifekids 2 hrs per week, he is doing bible studies for our 3 boys, signing up for micro-missions, we will attend our first lifegroup on Friday and he prayed with me OUTLOUD! It can happen, remember just pray without ceasing. It doesn't hurt to tell him what you need either (maybe light the fire) Like they said in the Warrior series give him tons of encouragement and praise. I think I have spent so much time tearing him down and didn't even realize it. See...we have known eachother since I was 14 and he was 16. I am now 28 and he is 30 so we have gotten very comfortable and sometimes it is easy to discourage instead of encourage. My husband is a truly brilliant man and I respect him so much. I just had to start telling him that! My prayers are with you and him both. God Bless.
Kandace,
I will be praying for you too that your husband gets the job at the OKC fire department. One of my friends husband is a fireman somewhere around the OKC area and its so nice, he has everyother day off and he has so much time to spend with his family. I will also be praying for you and school. YOu can do it, I started college with one baby and by the time I graduated six years later I had 4 kids all 6 and under, its hard to do but you can do it. I also started working full time and started graduate school at the same time and I have one class until I am done, but I could not have done it without God's grace. But you can do it!
Patti, I am saying a prayer for the fallen officer's family too. My dad is a police officer in Stillwater, OK and has been for over 25 years, it breaks my heart everytime I see one of them fall. For some reason I have never feared my dad going to work, I guess I just fully trust God to take care of my daddy b/c I've never worried at all and he's been in some very serious situations in his career. I guess we need to pray for our policemen, firemen, and service men everyday as they protect us.
Kandice, I just read your post. My husband and I too have been going through some extrodinarily tough times the last few years and Easter weekend he had gotten out of Drug Rehab. He and I decided that it was time to go to church together as a family and stop running from God and trying to fix our mess ourselves. I had always wanted him to go to church with me for our entire 11 year marriage but could never get him to come. Well, we had just moved to Sillwater, Ok and we had no idea where to go to church but somehow the idea of Livechurch came to us, so we went to visit. I was really hesistant because some of the other churches I had gone to in my past had not spoken highly of the church but we went anyways (just shows how divided God's people are). My kids LOVED IT AND MY HUSBAND LOVED IT, and the warrior message hit him hard. He is devoted to going to church every Sunday now. We hate to miss and we schedule all activities around church on Sunday and if something else comes up we skip it or go after church. It is such a huge answered prayer. Plus, many of the people that are at the AA and NA meetings my husband goes to attend church there and my best friend from high school I found out goes there too.
God has answered a lot of my prayers like getting my husband to drug rehab and getting him clean and sober, he has gotten my family back into church and actually living under the same roof again. But you said you had prayed for your husband to be the spiritual leader of your house. Well, I have always wanted that for my husband too but I have never thought of praying for that. So now I am going to pray that for my family too. I know he wants to lead but after all the problems we've had its hard for us. So I need to learn to let him be the spiritual leader as well as him being inspired to take the reigns to do so. God is good and I know he will answer my prayer for that.
Its nice reading all the prayers on here because I not only pray for other people but I realize the things in my life that I have not prayed for myself and have not yet turned over to God. Plus its nice seeing all the believers on here praying for each other and talking about God, sometimes in the world I find it hard to find people to talk to about how EXCITED I am for the first time in my life about GOD and all the things he has done for me and my family. We still have lots to work on and lots more to do but I know God has great plans.
So Kandice, just thought your story struck a familiar sound with me about going to Lifechurch as a family on Easter and your husband and you struggling b/c thats exactly where we were on Easter too.
It's an honor to think that people around the world will be praying for my family. Please pray that we will always follow God passionately in the things he's called us to do. Also, pray for the One Prayer series. It's an honor to be a part of such an amazing movement. We want it to touch everyone involved and be a catalyst for unity in the big "C" Church. Thanks for praying! We will be praying for all those here!

Please keep my friend Susan in your prayers. She has had an ongoing migraine for the past few weeks and no medication has helped. She has been to the doctor several times and all they do is give her a shot and a new prescription for pain meds. They did some blood work this week, but found nothing. She is supposed to go in for an MRI tomorrow but even with the insurance she has, she'll be out $1000---so she is not getting it done. Please pray for healing and peace of mind for her!
Thank you ALL :)
I just want to say how encouraging this One Prayer series has been already. It's so exciting to know that there are thousands of Christians across the globe praying for one another. That is certainly the unity Pastor Groeschell talked about. WIth that in mind, I would like to add a prayer request to the board. I am an elementary teacher, but I have been without a job for a year now. God moved my husband and I to help with a new church, and He has been faithful to take care of us. But the situation gets tougher everyday. Between gas prices, food costs, and basically everything else going up, we have barely been able to make ends meet. I know God will provide me a position, it's just a matter of when and where. Please pray that my husband and I will both be able to work in good positions, wherever we are.
JDev I am praying for your new life in Germany. It is a beautiful place and a place where much of my family calls home. You will love it. My prayers are with you!
Southcampus, I'm PRAYING For you!! I went through the exact same thing that you are now going through, including asking the Lord to bring him (my ex, to salvation). God WILL WORK IT OUT! It may take a minute, but you will look back and see God's hand and timing in this situation. Stay encouraged!!!!!......Monika
It's TRULY amazing how much the power of prayer can do. I am so eternally grateful that we have such a way to communicate with God to place His hands on others and humble ourselves in such a prayer. I pray for others constantly whether or not I know them. Someone struggling on the side of the highway with a broken down car, a car accident that I may be passing, a homeless individual, a friend struggling with life's trials and tribulations, etc. I ask you now, as a complete stranger in your eyes, to pray for my fiance and me as we leave the states in a few months to start a new life together in Germany. I've prayed so much about this and could use more prayers as this is a huge step forward in my life.
Whoever you are....I'm praying for you as well...
May the Lord bless all who are in immediate need of financial blessings and miracles from God. We all have so much to do in the Kingdom, as well as individually. Just remember that you are "Too blessed to br stress!" and that God WILL take care of you!! .....Ecclesiastes 10:19. I'm praying for my world prayer family, which is all of you.........Love, Monika
Terri, my prayers are with you. Let me share my story as it is much like my own. I was invited to LC by a perfect stranger. For no reason at all other than to invite me, my first reaction would normally be, "UH OH CrAzY church lady" I have NEVER EVER gone to someone else's church on a random invite, but for some reason I could NOT stop thinking about it. So one Sunday I told my husband I was running errands and I came and sat in the back row all by myself. The next Sunday came and I brought my children. Eventually my husband came a couple of times as well. However, he stopped coming and I did too. It got lonesome in the back row feeling like I didn't belong with all of these people who were so right with God. Then I heard the song "Does Anybody See Her" by Casting Crowns and I burst into tears, that was ME! I didn't return to church but instead begin fighting my battles on my own as the lost girl in that song. My marriage began to go through a really rough time and just before Easter I had this feeling that we HAD to go to Church together at least for Easter. Honestly, I didn't know if we would be married by next Easter. We came and it was the Warrior series. This series not only changed our lives, but completely healed our marriage. Well, not the series but God. God called us back there for a reason. He knew it is what we needed. The months before when I was randomly invited and came a couple of times was God planting the seed and showing me there was a soft place to fall. I prayed and prayed my husband would become a spiritual leader in our home. He was always a believer but not a fully devoted follower of Christ. I proudly say he IS just that now and he is leading me and well as our children down a beautiful path. God has a PERFECT plan for your family just as he does mine.
Girl....walk by faith. Put one foot in front of the other and pray without ceasing. Your dreams will be realized not a day sooner or a day later than God has planned for them too. I am praying for you with my whole heart. I truly understand this transition and I am thanking God you are feeling the same pull I felt. God Bless
I am asking for your prayers. My son 17 yr old has moved to his fathers home, and turned his back on me and his entire family. We have been the ones there for his entire life, not his father. He has not had contact with him for years, except for an occasional phone call that my son initiated.
My heart is broken, I feel betrade. My youngest son who will be 4 in two weeks misses his brother so bad, and he doesn't understand what is going on. How can he I am an adult and I don't understand.
We had a meeting with our attorney (his father after a month now wants child support and full custody) He has never had any custody and is behind on support by thousands. But to fight this is going to cost us thousands, and we do not have that kind of money.
It is just wrong the things that man has gotten away with. I pray for him, that he finds a relationship with God and sees the things he has done in his life and asks for forgiveness from Jesus and from the people he has hurt.
PLEASE pray for my emotional state, is is not very good. I am having a really hard time with this. I need peace so very badly. I do know that when I make it through this there is a blessing like no other. But at times it hurts so bad that I would just as well meet Jesus today.
Thank you for your prayers.

I am asking for all of you to pray for me that I may recieve the financial miracle that I'm believing and asking God for IMMEDIATLY. Not only for myself, but also for the Kingdom. I see so many hurting people and ministries that I would love to support.
I thank and bless you all in advance, and I'm praying for you all as well........Blessings, love Monika
I am reading through the requests and praying for you each individually as I go. Have Faith, God is doing great things for us RIGHT NOW! God is good, ALL THE TIME!
Kim - I wanted you to know that I am thinking about you today as I go about my regular things.
Pride can be a hard thing but with God anything is possible. It's good that you are able to admit it and not be ashamed. I too have struggled with Pride. I just pray and ask God to forgive me.
He knows your heart and knows you love him.
Hello to all I want to let you know that I am praying for you today.
Dear Lord please hear our prayers as we all stand together in agreement.
We are asking for finances, marriages, health and healing, careers, moves, life decisions, church decisions, for those that are lost and don't know you, for those that have known you and that have fallin. For families that are going through grief please let peace settle in over their hearts and minds. For children that have lost their mothers/fathers, let them raise up to you for comfort, not turn away in anger.
Lord for the illness of the mind like depression heal those thoughts and feelings.
Lord in it is your precious name we pray together.... AMEN
God Bless you all
I posted last week after my first service at the NW OKC Campus. My prayer was for my sons to enjoy the church as well and for this to be a good transition.
I took one of them last Sunday to his class. He is only 2 and they had bubbles going. He was so excited to see them and before I could tell the girl in charge that my son might be hand full and cry a lot, he stuck his hands out for her. Went straight to her.
I went back after service to get him and she said he did a great job.
God is so good. He knew my little guy would love the bubbles.
Please keep praying for my older son to like it too and for my husband to join us as well.
Thank you for your prayers.
Please pray for Eddie and Steve Gonzales and their famoly. Steve is donating part of his liver to his brother.
Robert- (Lifechurch OKC): I want you to know that God loves you, and He sees you. You are not a disappointment to Him, you are His precious child. Nothing or noone can separate you from His love. There isn't anything you could do to change the way God feels about you. His mercies are new every single morning and His grace is enough.
There is no special thing to say when you approach Him, just talk to Him. He just wants to be with you. I will keep you in my prayers. Just remember that He loves you and His children love you.
Dear Wonda,
I am praying for you, your son and your husband. God will never leave you.
I need help with my future. I've dropped out of college and my life is kind of at a standstill. I really need guidance, and to be more receptive to what God is calling me toward.
I also am having a really difficult time with pride. I need prayer that I will be able to better humble myself.
I'll be praying for all of you.
I would like for you all to agree that God will touch me in a way that I will always speak the truth no matter where I am or who I am with. I want to do everything that is pleasing to Him.
Also if you all could agree for the salvation of my brother. He has strayed away from His Heavenly Father, and I want him to experience a great awakening also.
I am also in the market for looking for something a little closer to home.
Debbie, I am praying for you and your family. You are making more of an impact than you realize.
I need guidance in my finances. Due to my circumstances, I had to move to the UK. I still have lots of debt in RSA and does affect my finances here. I want out of my debt and to be free financially. I know it will cost me but I have to.
Thank you
Please pray for my son John-that he will become passionate about reading God's word.
Gos IS Good! Prayer can heal many hurts and pains. If me always realize that God can handle what we cannot!
please pray for me, I have battled depression off and on my whole life...it runs in my family. it greatly effects my spiritual life.
Also please pray that God would speak to my husband, he goes to church with me and was saved long ago, but shows no desire to grow spiritually.
I will be praying for the other requests listed here.
...and I pray that God will bless everyone who has taken the time to post on these blogs and also bless those who have been praying for those requests listed. I thank God for the fire He's lit in these people and the passion I have seen displayed by them...for it is contagious.
Praying for a great awakening for those who once walked with Christ but have been disillusioned by the world and their own pain. My husband has fallen and clings to his disillusionment to the point he has left me and our toddler son after 8yrs of marriage. So many are falling. I am praying for a great awakening.
Patty, I am praying for the fallen officer. My brother is a police officer here in Oklahoma City and I fear for him all the time. My prayers are with Nohemy and their daughter.
Please pray for my husband Corey. He has just interviewed for the OKC Fire Dept and this opportunity would be life changing for us. The job he has now does not allow for any time off to do things with his family or do participate more in the Church which is something he is really feeling called to do. Also, I am starting Nursing School in August and have 3 small children at home; one of which spends a lot of time in the hospital due to lung disease. I pray God gives me the strength to be able to manage all that I need to manage.
pray for my husband... he is in a lot of pain. I asking God to heal him.
Some amazing requests here...I am praying through this list right now. Be encouraged!
My Prayer is that God would be glorified through my life today and everyday. I pray that all believers would recognize Jesus' prayer for us to be one in Him. "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more that all that we ask or imagine...according to His power that is at work in us."
I was just reading the prayers on here and I wanted to let "G" know that I am praying for her. I know what she is going through my husband too is a recovering addict and I know how hard everything is. We are just barely making it through ourselves, but we wouldn't have made it this far if not for GOD! I have the same prayer for myself.
I also wanted to let Colin know that I am praying for him too! I prayed the same thing for myself when I read your prayer request.
My one prayer right now is that God helps me find a job closer to home so that I can stop commuting and spend more time with my family. God has a great plans for me and my family, now I just need to wait on him. I want only his will for my life and my families life!
God is good :)
rwindbigler - I am praying for your son, that his eyes would be opened and his heart would be softened. A friend sent me a video the other day that is a really great visual of what is happening in the spiritual realm. I can't stop watching it and have cried everytime I've seen it. It is powerful and amazing and I really think it will minister to you and your son (and to anyone who sees it) especially those who have fallen away from God. Go to Godtube.com and in the search put "drama" It is the first video to pop up and is called "Lifehouse Everything Drama"
On Tuesday, our community buried a Police Officer. He was a wonderful husband, father, servant to the community and follower of Christ. He was shot in the line of duty, leaving behind many hurting and devastated co-workers, friends and family members. His wife, Nohemy, needs your prayers. She must continue on, raising their one year old daughter. The pain she feels can only be understood by someone who has walked in her shoes. My heart broke, seeing her pain during the services. Please pray for her and the entire Hite family.
I'm praying for a united front of those who profess to be Christ followers to follow the "head" of the church....no, the true head....not the guy who stands on the stage, not the guy that talks to us every week...but Jesus Christ! I pray for unity to go out, in His name...to think that if this actually happened, hunger would be gone, homeless would have warmth, security...be clothed. And all would know that Christ provided by his teachings. I also pray for not just "One Nation Under God" but "Nations Under God". I pray for the stirring that I'm feeling inside of me to go forth and for a beacon of Christ to emit from me for all to see the true workings of Christ...as a family, as a unit, as one! I don't have the words to express the deepness...but the possibilities that my small mind can conceive...and knowing that Christ can work so much deeper than our understanding.....I can only think of one word to describe it.....W O W !!! My final prayer is to pray for those where it all begins....us....the "Christ" followers. Let's bring'em home!!!
Love to you all!!!
Please pray for my husband. He is a pastor and is very discouraged. He needs to hear the Lord's heart!
Please pray for our church. We are small but have a big vision.
We need a location to meet and grow!
Please pray for exposure in our church. In our area of the nation there is a very powerful demon that loves to hide what is really true in our lives. Pray for truth to come forward and for the people to realize that their shame is a horrible excuse for robbing God of his glory. May Christ be worshipped despite our shortcomings.

Please Pray for Steve and his family. His son Trey is four and he was hit by a car on Tuesday
evening. Please pray that he has a speedy recovery.
Father, I pray right now for Jaime and her eysight. I pray for healing in the name of Jesus and that her eye sight would be completely restored! We know that you created Jaime and love her more than anyone else could and you know her body and sicknesses. I also pray for understanding that Jaime will understand what it is that you are trying to accomplish as she goes through this trial. In Jesus' name, Amen!
Please pray for our soldiers in Afghanistan and for sovereignty to be restored in Pakistan. Pray that God would put a man in office in Pakistan that would restore human rights and be under God's guidance.
Please pray for the students in the Northwest area of Oklahoma City. They need Christ! Thank you for praying!

Blessed be the Name of Jesus, our Savior, redeemer, and friend. May He magnify the Comforter, Holy Spirit in our hearts, to calm us in our days of trouble.
I feel so blessed to be a part of this. I am praying for each person on this list and know that God will work miracles in each of our lives. I ask for prayers for my husband and my daughter's relationship. It's been very strained for many years and it's affecting my daughter emotionally and spiritually. I ask for prayers for myself and my work.
God bless to all from Stillwater
I pray for all those who have left a prayer request. By reading those requests I am reminded how blessed I am. My prayer is that all those seeking God will know he is there for them. I also pray for the families of the boy scouts in Iowa who lost their lives in a tornado last night. I pray that my daughter will be able to find a good job, be able to finish school and that God will send a godly man for her and bring her happiness.
Please pray for me and my husband (who is struggling with addiction). Please pray for both of us for complete brokenness, wisdom, discernment, openness, and healing. God has been so incredibly faithful! He never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for praying for us.
Praying for you all as well.....

What a great message by Pastor Wayne. Please pray that I would become more involve in my church. Our pastor ,David Henry and his wife, Delana, are so amazing. They have a "true pastors' heart". I would like to do my part to impact others for the kingdom, and what a great way as to pray for specific needs as those posted here. For rwindbigler: The Word says, "if any two agree...", WE AGREE. God bless.
I am praying for all of you!
Please pray that I will be effective; that I will be an effective servant, wife, mom, and friend. Pray that I will make a difference for the Kingdom. I don't want to be a hearer of the Word, but a doer. I want people to see Christ in me. I want to serve the way Christ served. I want to fully lay down my life for the love of Jesus. Please pray that all selfishness and pride will be removed from my life and that I will love Jesus the way that Peter learned how to.
Thank you SO much, and I pray blessings over all of you and will continue to pray for your needs.
Please pray for me to be able to REALLY let go of the past and trust God that He has changed
the man I am with. He has a child with another woman and it is so hard for me to believe
that they can be "just friends" and it tears me down on a daily basis. Satan is trying to steal my
joy, but I know that my God is waaaaay bigger than that and He can do ANYTHING!!!! I am praying
for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ as we are uniting in One Prayer and am believing
God for awesome and supernatural things to occur during all of this! He is soooo Good!!! Let's
all remember....IT IS ALL FOR HIS KINGDOM!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!
Robert--I know how you feel and I am praying for you. All of you!
My prayer is that God would give me WORDS to speak and the COURAGE to say them. I am a pretty quiet person and I have trouble stepping out of my comfort zone and reaching out to people. There are handfuls of people right at my fingertips who need to know the love of Jesus Christ and because of my own insecurities, I just look away. With everything in me, I try to be an example to them and hope that they ask what is different about me, but I don't want to wait for them to come to me!!
Please pray for my wife Amy who struggles with chronic pain.
I'm honored to pray for all on this list today - thank you for trusting me to sincerely pray for you! I would also love pray for some larger transitions that are occurring in my life. God is so incredibly good!

I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE THE CHURCH FAMILY THAT I DO...EVERYONE IS SOOOO WONDERFUL.. TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE....I TOO WILL BE PRAYING FOR ALL OF YOU TODAY IN HOPES THAT GOD CONTINUES TO BLESS US.
Praying for all of you today. Please ask God to give us wisdom on some decisions our staff is making. Please pray for God to be glorified through One Prayer and that His Church will be united.
Jaime, Skyler, Kenna, Robert, J.D. & Christine; I am praying for each of you this morning.

Please pray that I can be a great living Christian example to my non Christian friends and that they will see the changes that Christ has made in me and will come to know and love Christ as well. (National Community Church, DC)
Pray for me that I will be the witness I need to be for my family. At this time I feel like the Lone
Ranger because I continue to attend church alone, but I am certain that "this too shall pass"
and my family will join me in worship.
My prayer is for spiritual renewal and freedom from oppression and attacks over our church leaders and church family. It has come to our attention that some have actually actively "prayed" that we be delivered into hell. Please pray the Lord's protection over us. Praise God!
I recently had my divorce finalized & having a very bad time financially, please pray that God guides me in the path that He wants & that I don't forget that His plan is the best plan, also pray for all my fa,ily members back in Chicago that God will call on their hearts & that they will receive the love of our Father in heaven.
God morning brothers and sisters. I would like to ask for motivation and perseverance in completing school. I have 2 lil kids and I can get side tracked and by the end of my day, school work is the last thing on my mind. Thank you. GOd is Love.
Please pray for my son, He has been going through some boughts of deep depression and has been harming himself by "cutting himself" I do not pretend to understand, but I know it can only come from Satan that would cause a person to damage their body this way. Pray for his safety and pray that a person who is (led by the Holy Ghost) to intervene in his life. He is not responding to me at this time and I love him so dearly.
Thank You
Jamie, I am praying for you.
christine - I am praying for you today
JD - I'm praying for both you and your husband today
Robert (from OKC) - I will be praying for you today.
finding a church home and a community that is Christ-centric. a prayer-basked ministry and guidance for future work.
I am going through a divorce at 25. Please can you pray that God will forgive both my husband and I and that he will have His way in both of our lives? I have many questions for God about what is happening. I pray that my faith in him will be strong enough not to question why, but to make the most of my relationship with Him.
Please pray that I'll learn how to pray again. I've fallen so far away from where I used to be in my walk with God that I've begun to dread coming to God in prayer. I feel like I'm standing before my Savior and Creator as a failure and a hypocrite.
One Prayer has challenged me to rebuild my prayer life. I'll be praying and fasting along with the rest of you as much as I can. I've just got a few mental walls to knock down before I can open myself up to God in prayer again and I could use a lot of help with that.
