One Prayer Tuesday Fasting Focus: Salvations
During the four weeks of One Prayer, we’re setting aside each Tuesday as a time to fast together. This week we’re going to concentrate our prayers on the most important experience that can occur in an individual’s life—salvation.
As you fast and pray, ask God for opportunities to share Christ with those who don’t know him. Consider inviting someone to church with you this weekend.
Please tell us who you are praying for to know Christ (first name only). As you read the comments, please pray by name for people on this list. We can’t wait to hear the stories about what God does!

It's humbling to read so many prayer requests. It's easy to take God's blessings for granted and I constantly remind myself to give thanks for them.
My prayers are for:
- my parents and sister, who are Christians in name only, that they would desire a real relationship with their Savior
- the persecuted Church around the world, that their stories would be told so as to inspire the complacent Church in the West
- my boss, whom I deeply care for, who is so driven by work, that she would experience the joy of Christ
- the many men and women who love the people around them so much that they put their pains and fears on display here for all to see, that God would be pleased with our prayers and give us peace and comfort

I've been praying for Gus, James, Donna, Lee, Jennifer and Aaron, Mackie, Bobby, Cecilia and Don, Tamara, Rick and Jennifer and their family, Sharon, Richard Gary, Owen and Rosie, Don and Joy, Randy, Cindy, Diana, Judy and Julio, David, Kristen, LaDonna, Nya, Barbara and Willard and their family...there are so many others but these are near and dear to my heart - some family and others are my chosen family, friends. I love them all and although I know some are Christ followers, they are struggling as we all do.
On a side-note, our LifeGroup met Tuesday and we always pray at the end of our discussion - tonight was no different. The exciting thing was someone at one of the other tables asked what we were doing. I think they are believers as I could tell they were excited to see us praying in public. We gave them a ONEPRAYER handout. God is good......
Thanks to all of you who are praying and fasting. It means a lot to know others are lifting me up as I am them. Have a wonderful week!
Please pray for our soldiers in afghanistan and for sovereignty and human rights to be restored through a Godly ruler in Pakistan.
I am praying for my son Josh to know christ.
I am praying for salvation for my daughters Debbi & Cathy and their children. None of them are believers.
I missed the fast on Tuesday (completely forgot about it), but will be fasting today (Thursday) instead. I'm praying for my brother-in-law, JR, to experience Christ in a very real way.
My beautiful wife and I fasted for the first time yesterday. I prayed for Chris to find Jesus. I love that I can deprive myself of nurishment and know that God will be there to get me through. It helped me to realize that no matter what God is ALWAYS there, and I pray that everyone can feel that in their lives.
I am praying for my son Ryan, who has been away from God for the past 11 years, very wounded, confused, alcohol dependent, that his heart would grow weary of his life and surrender his wounds, hurts, to God. I am praying for my sister in law and her 4 children, who are all addicted to drugs and alcohol, filled with a lifetime of anger and bitterness, that they will all have soft hearts and desire to change and their children will become a legacy of men and women with hearts after God.
Please keep Amber and William in your prayers.
Holy Spirit fill them with your presence, your peace and your love.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Remember that guys!!
I am praying for my friend Becca who was once very spiritual.Grew up that way.She always felt left out because we were all couples.I prayed she would find someone and she did.But he is a complete unbeliever.We lost touch for about 6 -9 months and when we talked she told me she isnt sure she believes anymore.I have a bad feeling about her and im really worried about her salvation.We all sin and fall short of the glory of God,but when we stop believing.I pray she remembers the truth.Please God help her through this,In JESUS Name,Amen

Please pray that God will heal my marriage and my wife of depression from a broken past.
For those in Senoia, GA that are on the edge of commitment. God burn within their hearts
As I sat here and read the requests, tears rolled down my face and the Spirit prayed. I was overwhelmed how we all have the same request to an extent. I do feel this was indeed God's true hope for us all as you could say His prayer from the begi/ning to see people saved, filled with joy and peace, healed and to fellowship with Him. How awesome is it when we become one in unity and can finish this work here and go to our true HOME. We are indeed ONEPRAYER.
Please pray for my family. Salvation, hope and peace. Some need delieverences and some need their blinders taken off because many have received Christ but dont walk in the life He destined for them. I love my family and want them to experience life as Christ intended in the begining. Also pray for generational curses to be broken and the lies planted in their hearts broken off and truth to indeed set them free.
One more, pray for my spiritual mother, she has for 6 months or more have had everthing come down on her from sickness to finances. Please pray for her and her husband. They need strength to get through this trial, healing in health issues and need God's love to heal anything that hurt them.
God bless you all. Our hope is in HIM!

Also we have started a new ministry called Friday Night Extreme @ the TREE ,we ask for YOUR prayers over it ,on it ,and in it ,in JESUS NAME !
I am praying for my friend Jill. She needs the joy and peace (and salvation) that come from knowing Christ, our Saviour.
I am praying for my David. He spent his life earning and saving money at a great cost to his wife and family. Now he is 77 and things have changed. Recently he was very ill and the doctors had to take his legs. God was good to him and he is in relatively good heath. It is very expensive keeping him where he is. As his life savings approached zero, he ad to go n Medu-Cal. His money didn't last for his entire lifetime.Now he must trust in God because we, his children are disabled also and not employed. It seems that the entire family is being tested. Each of us are being given an opportunity to learn to trust Christ. As he realizes the fact that his wealth cannot save him, he is now in a phase where he is depending on me to preserve his physical, and mental health. He is making up for his lack of control over his physical body and possessions by attempting to control my life. Frankly I have my own problems which I am learning to share with God and I need dad to depend on the Lord about things I cannot control. When dad comes to know Christ I believe he will leave me more space and time for my spiritual awakening to Christ which is equally important to me. I am filled with fear and depression about my own life circumstances and I am praying a lot for myself. I look forward to being in a place where I can pray for others outside my family, and outwards in an ever expanding circle un til it includes all of God's children. I can see this is going to take me some time.
I am asking God to be with my loved ones and Help them understand they need him on a personel level everyday, to help them with their lives and church and new friends would help also. They are Matthew, Desi, Nichole, Owen, Christine, Craig and my dear grand children Chloe and Maddox. Tears have ran down my face from reading the listings here so much to pray for, I guess I would like to include myself asking God to help me be more diligent in my prayer life and as a example to my loved ones and the world at large. Oh! and my church and all it's leaders at GCC. Thank you. It is so enriching sharing this experience with so many of you. God bless you all.
What a beautiful morning it is in Opelika, Alabama, and sitting out on my back deck with the sunrise glistening off the lake, the birds chirping and squirrels playing amongst the trees, my heart aches for those who don't know Jesus in an intimate way, especially those close to my heart, my earthly father and my brother. I became a believer and follower of Christ while attending Auburn University in the winter of my freshman year. And now, almost 10 years later, I am still praying a prayer for my dad and brother, Father, Abba, God of all living, Author of Salvation, reach into their hearts, allow them to hear you at the door and humble them to open the door of their hearts to let you in and live in them.
My family attends Church of the Highlands, Auburn campus, and I have been sending my dad CD's of Pastor Chris' messages for close to a year now. He listens to every single one on his commute from Annapolis to DC each morning and says he enjoys listening, and that Pastor Chris is a good speaker, but he still keeps the door shut to Jesus. I have shared on many many many occasions how the Lord continues to work in my life and do great works in me and through me, my husband and children, but still his heart remains hard. Please pray for my dad and brother, to soften their hearts, to hear the life giving message of Jesus through the CD's that I send or through another avenue. I pray for people and circumstances to be placed in their lives that would make them turn to you Jesus! Just as the song says, "Savoir, He can move the mountains, my God is Mighty to Save, he is Mighty to Save, Forever author of Salvation, He came and conquered the grave, Jesus Conquered the grave!!!" Anyone who reads this, please join me in prayer for all the lost, especially my dad and brother. Thank you Jesus, for I know you can move mountains!
Tracy and Dante' and Shayna, Dreama, Johnnie and myself to be a better example
Tanner Herriott, here is a suggestion. If you can do it offer to pick them up, and take them to lunch afterwards. Not many people will turn down some free food. Even if they think hey that isn't a bad price to pay for a free meal. Then let God do the work from there.
Just a suggestion...
Thank you God for bringing your people together. I pray that we get to see the drastic changes that can be made when we have one goal. I had goose bumps when pastor Craig listed what could be done when His people come together. Eliminate world hunger! Wow!
God, I pray that you will reveal yourself to my family: Phillip, Nga, Donnie, Lisa, David, Peggy, Kevin, and Tony. Let them all get to know you in the deepest intimate way you can reach out to them and make us all as ONE true family in Christ. I pray that you would be with my friend, Jeremiah, and help him quit smoking. Lord, use this precious time to refine me and bring me my future-God honoring husband who I truly deserve to be with. Amen!
I take my lunch to work most of the time and 11:30am seems to set off an internal switch for me to put down whatever I'm doing and head to the fridge. Today though I walked out of the house with the full intention of skipping lunch to get alone with God and pray, write, etc. about the One Prayer series.
I'm writing this during my lunch break and I'm hungry right now. An early (3pm) dinner sounds awesome.
I get totally freaked out when I think of talking to a non-believer about salvation. I don't have this huge evangelistic mindset like of some of the people I know now or while I was in college. These people seem to eat (I'm still hungry), sleep, and drink how they can get people saved. I'm just not like that.
A few of my friends have dropped the hint that they'd be interested in visiting lifechurch with me sometime. I talked to a couple of them about going last weekend, but it fell through. I figure if I can't personally pray the salvation prayer with them, I'd let Craig Groeschel or one of the Campus Pastors do it.
Its just nerve racking to think about inviting someone to church. I feel like this is how the conversation would go -
'so, gas prices... high enough for you?'
'yea, no kidding.'
'by the way, want to go to church with me this weekend?'
'uh... why?'
'well, if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your savior, you'll go to hell.'
-long pause
'you go hell. and take your high gas prices with you.'
Maybe even something like this (swap 'big gulps' with 'go to church with me')

It's hard for me to even pray, 'God, give me the boldness to invite someone to church this weekend.' Maybe this is part of why we're spending this Tuesday fast with a focus on salvations.
Lord, thank you for this day. Thank you for the strength you've given me to fast and to immerse myself in prayer for all of those needing salvation. Thank you for your forgiveness and acceptance and for receiving those who have turned and returned to you today and everyday. Your love is awesome! Amen!
God, please let Roy see the church stand together and want to be apart of it again. Thank you for this season of ministry you have allowed us to be apart of.
I want to say Thank you to Craig for being conficted to do this for our LORD Jesus. Thank you to our LORD Jesus for allowing us the chance to move the nation towards him and his love.
I attend the South OKC Lifechurch campus, they are a blessing and I have seen things move that can not be explained outside of saying "It's a GOD thing". Thank you Trevor for your message May 25th it was very touching to me personally.
I pray for all of the churches leaders, attending, and volunteers. Let their life show the light of Jesus. Let them receive so many blessings that their store house over fills.
Clint we love and miss you, I pray for your family. Your a blessing that we are lucky to be able to share.
I have been fasting today and it seems that it has been harder today than last week, but I am staying strong. I keep thinkg about who this is for. An audience of ONE !!!!!
I will be and have been praying for those that post their needs.
My wish is for not only those that don't know Jesus are reached but those that do know him and still turn their back to sin find him in away like never before.
I also ask for prayer for my son Tyler, let him know that I love him and miss him more than he could ever know and pray for his safety daily. I pray that he will return to us, soon. I pray that the demons that wound and bind his heart and thoughts are cast out, so that he can be the believer and follower I know he wanted to be. Let his heart be healed of the wounds that go deep. I love you baby and we want you to come home. Please also pray for his father, may he see the wounds he has inflicted, and forgive himself as well as ask for forgiveness from those he hurt. I pray that he finds life in Christ.
I also ask that you pray for my other boys that are in the home, Marcus and Jaden. They both miss their older brother very much. Especially Jaden, he is only three and doesn't understand where his brother is and why he hasn't seeen him. He askes for him daily, please pray that peace will rest in Jadens heart.
For my marriage, we are strong yet pulled apart. We are both believers but have been having a rough time with all that is going on in our lives right now. I asl that the unity be reconnected, so that we can fight a common enemy not each other.
Thank you to all and may all your blessing be brought forward.
Jami
As I sit and read all the prayer requests for salvation for so many lost it brings me to my knees. I can't even imagine how this breaks the heart of our Loving Kind Father in Heaven who 's heart is to not loose one.
To feel and experience a small piece of His heart ache moves us to prayer and intercession for the lost.
Thank you Father that your grace is new everyday and your heart is tender and loving.
Thank you Father for your son,Jesus, who came to give us life.
Praise you Father that you hear and answer our prayers.
Father I pray you strengthen each of your believers and unit out hearts.
Lord I pray that you would break our hearts for the lost and we would unite and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Teach us Lord we need you.

Lord, As I have fasted today, I have experienced something that I have never experienced before. It has been an awesome way to share what you have done in my life, and also shows me what I need to work on in you. Lord That would be relying on you to take care of any need I have. That I would fill myself in and of you. I just pray that as I have not seen my friends today that I would be able to show them the love of Christ, and that they would see something that they do not have. I pray that they would come to know you. Thank you for allowing all the churches that have come together to pray for you. Your amazing aba. In your name I pray Amen
Just wanted to tell Jena who has cancer that there is a homeopathic doctor in my city who has a very high success rate curing cancer. You can email me at donnareichl@hotmail.com and I will explain it further. Also, my husband and I fasted today. No food, just fresh squeezed juice. Something pretty cool happened to me. You know how sometimes you just open the Bible and read the first page it opens up to? Well, I wanted to read more about Jesus praying that we would be "one" but I didn't know where to start looking, but when I opened up my Bible to search today, it opened to that exact page. It was a pretty cool feeling.
I am praying for the return of my family to the Lord. I pray for my brother Eddie Jr, My sister Destiney, My mom Cheryl, My dad Ed, My step dad Nick, My step sister Melissa, My step sister Gina, My step brother Nick Jr. My friend Ashley, My friend Nikki, My cousin Crystal, My cousin Mark, My aunt Dawn. I pray for the call of America to wake up to God's will. I pray for those that are lost and fighting the devil today. I pray for those suffering from AIDS. I pray for God's will in my life. I pray for my mentor's life. I pray for the ability to make it through my fasting Tuesdays, I pray for the Holy Spirit to come into my house on a daily basis. I pray for all the saints that are coming together this month for prayer and fasting. I pray for sincerity of hearts. I pray for love, compassion, kindness, peace, joy, and most of all I pray for unity in the body of christ. I pray for our father's will to be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
It seems appropriate to share the lows, along with the highs, of my One Prayer fasting experience; there have been many of both. This may be an encouragement to someone.
Today--a third Tuesday of fasting--has been a challenge for me. I am within one hour of being able to "break" fast, and it's as if I'm constantly watching the clock. Relief is 60 minutes within reach. I'm fighting to stay more focused on the fast than on food.
Why has today been harder? Especially now...toward the end. Not now. I'm so close. I can't quit, now.
God help me do this! Help me to finish strong. Even if I cross the finish line more human than I started...less spiritual than I began...help me finish this! Remind me who I'm fasting for; remind me of You. Remind me of the salvations.
Amen.
This is amazing and I feel so blessed to be a part of it. Since I have found Lifechurch, I have found a new passion for my life, Christ. I have found peace in Him like no other. I have begun to submit my life in ways that I know would never be possible without the Holy Spirit. My prayer is for my family. Tiffany (23) and my mom Gladys (59). May they let go of all preconceived notions. May they be healed by the Blood of the Lamb. May they come to see and know the peace that I have found in my Savior. Also, I pray for my dear old friend Sarah (25). She is heavily addicted to drugs and wanted by the police. I never thought it would ever get to this place. Pray for her salvation and safety.
Okay...Fasting and expanding my prayer list from Southside OKC Lifechurch.tv.
I'm praying for Chris, Barbara, Nick C., John, Kim, Nick L., Sam, Leah, Victor, Dylan, Nicole, Matt, Cheyenne, Sha, Marc, Tammy, Trevell, Kim, Peggy, Michael, Mike, Alicia, Rachael, Kelley, Kurt, Alex, Lauren, Barbara G., Sara, Brandon, Jana, Tim, David and Family, Scott and Khrista and Family, Kevin, Sami, Caleb, Keithan, Keith and Family, Jacob, Brandon, Tina, Jenny, Tanya and all of our leaders that all may find out about God and grow closer to him.
I have been fasting and praying all day for those named here on this blog and those who don't have anyone to lift them up in prayer.
Please pray for my daughter Brittany, who is 11, and my cousin Cody, who is 10. They both have decided to fast and pray tomorrow for their friends at school who don't know Jesus. Brittany has decided to fast breakfast and lunch and Cody is giving up TV, Wii, Playstation, and any other form of entertainment, except his radio. He plans to listen to worship music all day and pray during commercials. Brittany is making her list of friend's tonight. I am praying that God will show up in a big way for them as they fast for the first time.
Please pray for my brother John and Arlene's brother Craig.

Please pray for Zack, Kathy, Kevin, and Justin
This fasting has been a great experience. I'm pretty hungry but then I remember all these prayers we have and our common goal. It does amaze me how many encourage you, and then there are some that seem to be freaked out by it. Or get offensive. Today I have felt really close to God. This is my first fast that I have ever done. I've come to know him more this year than ever. I've drifted but came back this year. Life church has really inspired me. I just wish people would let Jesus into their hearts and realize how loved they could be.
I attend the Hendersonville campus of Lifechurch.tv. I am blown away by the impact of One Prayer. I put it on my blog and have been amazed by the number of hits it's getting. Today being Tuesday I took part in fasting and praying. One of my biggest prayers is that my Mom (Linda) would come to church with us. For a long time I figured the challenge would be getting my Dad to come, but he's been coming with us for almost a year now. Praise God!! I figured if God could get Dad to come, He could get my Mom to come too. So after fasting and praying today I called my Mom and invited her and her husband (Andy) to join us this weekend. She said yes! I realize that it's possible she'll back out, but I figure if this is God's work, she'll be there! God is Good! All the Time!!!
Pray for Ladonna, Ryan, Jimmie, James, and Jodie.
I want to put Jena On A prayer list she has just found out she just found out she has cancer
I know this is sort-of off topic but God keeps bringing it to my mind so I am going to ask for
prayer for Madeleine McCann (the little 4 yr old girl who was kidnapped from Portugal a year
ago) I saw an episode of 20/20 where her parents (Gerry & Kate) were telling their story and
I cried the whole time. In their eyes was such desperation and sadness.
I pray for their comfort and that God would lead them to Madeleine.
Please pray for a friend who is assisting in the investigation of two little girls (11 and 13) who were murdered in a small town in OKlahoma while walking down the street. Please pray for the families that god will touch them and let them know their daughters are safe now. Please pray for the investigators so they may catch the perpetrator of this horrible act. Please pray for all those who may be contimplating murder or suicide that they may find a better way of handling their pain.
I am fasting not only for the one prayer mission but also for my daughter Rebekah who is autistic, type-1 diabetic ..She has a heart surgery scheduled for Friday morning. Not only for my precious daughters strength and healing, I pray that the presence of Christ in us will be a witness to others in the hospital. I am confident that God will grant us answered prayers along with a peace that passes all understanding! May the annointing of the Holy Spirit bring glory to our God!
Pray for my Mom (Crystal) and her fiance Jerry; neither of them know Christ or will come to church with me. Its difficult to have a good relationship with them, but I keep trying so that they might see Him through me.
Pray for my family...esp my immeadiate family. My mom, dad, sister, and brother in law. The Lord is really planting some amazing seeds in each of their hearts so please pray that that continue. Also please pray for my two nephews that each of them would grow up to be steadfast mean in Christ.
I am praying for my ex Mother In Law. The two of us, have not been speaking for some time now. I pray we can resolve this conflict.
I have really enjoyed the fasting experience today (my first fast ever)! I have thought about Christ more than usual and have felt closer to him today. I even got to share with some friends at work what this is all about! I am an "old Christian", but have drifted off track the past 10 years and want to get back to where I was and even stronger.
My brother used to hang with this man who was an unbelief person and at a young age my brother started hanging out with having him to doubt God . He Has a family now, Please bring my brother close to get to know him as his savior and Lord Jesus Christ . my brother has health promblems, money promblems, and relationship promblems . Please bring him closer to you.
Join me in praying for the lost young people moving into the world of adulthood, unprotected
and wandering. I pray for the truth to be revealed and God will guide and protect them. I pray for
Rebecca, Michael, Jason, Christopher, Justin and Daniel to be saved and free at last.
I want my daughter to know God more. I talk with her about him,but I do not think she has the message down clearer. She does not know how to be herself at all, because when she is around other people she acts totally different .I know she is shy also. But I want her to become a person of God and get to express her feelings out the way God shows her best. She is only 9 years old. What other optins can I suggest to her the best way I can.
I ask that you pray for two close friends of mine Eli and Heather who do not know the Lord. I pray that they open their hearts to Him and accept them as their Lord and Savior. Thank you. I am fasting and praying for all those who do not know the Lord.
I ask for you all to pray for my wife's grandfather. God has been dealing with him for decades. A lot of progress has been made, but he has not made a decision to follow Jesus and call Him Lord and Savior.
There is strength in numbers and the enemy cannot penetrate God's church that is righteous in truth and spirit. We will show the world, all the non-believers and make believers out of them because we come with God's bright light to save, in Jesus name Amen!
My prayer would be that the church of today would be as the Early Church was - sharing with one another in love, reaching out to everyone around with the message of Jesus - His life, His death and His promise of eternal life to all who believe. May we be faithful followers of Jesus in our community, where ever that may be. May God bless all who are part of this awesome journey of One PRayer.
Please help me pray for my friend Kayla as well as my mom (Cindi), dad (Gerald), and sister (Caitlin). Kayla is very open about how she does not agree with Christianity. She posts numerous blogs and videos each day and it worries me. I try to talk to her, but she is so close minded. I just pray that she will become more open minded to Christianity. That she will just hear people out and be willing to seek truth instead of being a "skeptic", as she calls herself. My mom and sis have turned away from God. Through hurt in their lives, they have let Him go. Please pray that I can help plant a seed and help them get back into church. Pray that they too will be more open minded. I can't tell if my dad is a Christian or not, but pray that I will also be a seed planted in his life. That he will get closer to God. He believes in God, but does not have the life to prove it. It kills me to think they my family could go to hell. I'm fasting today as well. I will be praying for all unbelievers. Thank so much for reading this! God Bless!!
I am praying for my drug addict brother Terry, who is caring for his dying wife, Anita both need Jesus. I'm praying over this list, and I am in awe that so many will be praying for my loved ones. God is good.

In regards to prayer, the bible says (1 John 5: 14-15 And we can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will.
1Jo 5:15 And if we know he is listening when we make our requests, we can be sure that he will give us what we ask for).
If it is God's will that none should perish (Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. ), then for those we ask of God that He draws these close to Him, that He write their names in the Lamb's book of life, that He call them into an intimate life with Him; shall God give us what we ask? God is good,.....
Please pray for my wife, Vicky, two sons; Alex and Sam, her parents; Karl & Madeliene, my brother; Michael and my sister; Pam.
Wellington Campus: Fasting brings such a blessed clarity in my walk. Although feelings are a result-of and not a lead-into, it is bizarre how much better I can hear when fasting and how much more (it seems) I can feel the Holy Spirit. He once told me long ago how incredibly powerful prayer is and how much our enemy would have us believe our prayers hit a glass ceiling. Don't just think your prayer is powerful as led by God, but know that your prayer is powerful...but then again not by my might...but by God's spirit. I praise our Lord for working through [each of] you.
I am bound to my home this week. It just happens my husband needs work on his truck, He is using my car, How Awesome our God is. He also has a great sense of humor. I will devote my time at home to "One Prayer." Please know I am praying for you, who have asked for prayer, in the name of our Lord Jesus.
We'll be on vacation this weekend with our friends Eric and Emily and their family. Please pray that we'll have an opportunity to involve them in watching One Prayer online with Lifechurch.tv
I am having no problem joining in the fasting today. It has made me think and pray about God even more then ever before. Please pray for my husband, Stephen, my sister, Stefanie, her husband Micah and their 4 children, Noah, Journey, Elijah, and Ezra. My stepdaughter Elyssa also needs prays today. She is having a hard time with her mom right now and feels unloved and abandoned by her. Please please pray that her mom Jasmine listen's to her need for attention and love.
I am fasting and praying today for the students that come to Switch on Wednesday evenings at the Northwest Oklahoma City LifeChurch.tv. I pray that they come to know and love Jesus. I am also including our awesome leaders, Tony and Anna, in my prayers today.
I ask that you pray for the salvation of a girl who is very important to me, her name is Courtney.
I am praying for my sister Caitlin and her ex-boyfriend Patrick. They recently decided to take time apart after 5 + years of being in a relationship. My sister is finally starting to realize which things in life are forever and which things just fade with time. She's starting to realize how beautiful she is and that she has something amazing to offer the world. But she's only just beginning. Please join with me in praying for both of their hearts. That God will touch them in unique ways and reveal to them their individual passions and purpose. With no understanding of who you are and what you stand for, you can't begin to share your life with another person. I have prayed for their salvation for many years and I know God is faithful and I know their hearts aren't hardened yet. Pray for them. Pray for anyone who's lost and can't even come to know themselves, let alone our Lord. God bless all of you and your wonderful hearts
I have a long list, but they are all extremely important. Please pray for Zach, Jenny, Ann, Brett, Taylor, Bowen, Colton, Tom and Nick. This is a group of friends that I used to spend most of my free time with, including every weekend. We sort of had a falling out. Some things went down and they don't really enjoy my company too much anymore. That really scares me though because I don't know who is going to lead them to Christ if it's not me. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about it... So I guess on top of the prayer for them pray for me that I might find a way to get to them and somehow I can still do some good for them even in light of the current circumstances. Thanks, and God bless.
Please pray for my wife's parents, Jim and Karen.
I ask that you pray for two of my dear friends, Matt and Ally. They are a young married couple and are already running into troubles in their marriage. I know that it is because they are lacking in their faith. They openly admit this fact, and that gives me hope that maybe I can be used to reach them. Please be praying for them and for the guidance of me in their lives.
It is so amazing to join together as one and pray for our loved ones. please pray for my friends james and tiffany...... thank you!!!!!!
"As you fast and pray, ask God for opportunities to share Christ with those who don’t know him. Consider inviting someone to church with you this weekend."
You should also be directly sharing the Gospel with those for whom you are praying and fasting. We cannot guarantee when they will die, and we must tell them the Good News of Jesus Christ or they will spend eternity in Hell. If you sincerely care for their souls, please take the time to tell them about sin and grace, Heaven and Hell, the judgment to come, and the price that was paid on the cross by Jesus Christ. Remember the watchman in Ezekiel 33 and think about those who need to hear the message in the Bible so desperately.
I pray for Levi, I pray for the words to say to reach his hurting heart. Lord please use me in his life.
I am praying for Kourtney and Holley's lille man Jaxon that he is heald by the stripes of Jesus that we are not a slave to sickness that we have been delivered from the bondage of sickness in JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN
Please join with me to pray for: Jeremy as he struggles with drug addiction and for Allison and Lawrence to find salvation through Jesus Christ. Thank you!
I am so excited about One Prayer. I beleive that God is at work and is going to do great things in this wonderful world that he has created! Please pray for the people, pastors, leaders of South Africa and Zimbabwe. There are tremendous difficulties there and only God can change the horrific things that are happening. Pray that God will provide the resources that are needed for reaching out, as the need is huge and the resources limited! There are also people with incredible faith there, so pray that God will keep all Christians strong in their faith so that they could lead others to the freedom that Christ gives. Our God is big and amazing and all things are possible through him. .
The question, "Are you not eating lunch today?" from my co-workers has prompted several interesting conversations. It is with joy that I say I'm bringing a former believer to church with me on Sunday. This will be her first service in many, many years. I am truly humbled at how a short conversation can change the course of another persons life .....
I'm a teacher and ask that you pray for the students I will be working with this next year. Pray that I can touch their lives in some way.
Please pray for my brother, Justin.
I'm praying for my dear friend Bianca, my father and my colleagues Suzanne and Jim.
As I read these posts, fasting and praying with a great number of believers, I feel blessed that we have a heavenly father that listens to our prayers, cries when we cry and holds us in his arms.
Please help me in praying for my friends: Sharon and Jason; Pam, Travis and Ashlyn; my sister's husband, Steve; my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins--John, Nancy, Keith, and Matt. They need the light of Jesus Christ in their lives and need to accept him as Lord and Savior.

Personally, I'd like to pray for my friends Amanda, Ryan, Chris, and Jamie. I've been praying for these people and inviting them to come to my church for quite some time. Every one of these people I care about and all of us care about matter to God because He cares about us like He is our perfect Abba, our perfect Daddy. So I pray to my Daddy in heaven that they come to realize who He really is and how much He loves His children.

Please pray for my brother-in-law, Bryan, who struggles with addictions and needs Jesus to have control. Pray for Aaron, Chad, Dan, Ron and Steve. Thanks!
I was watching the 700 club yesterday and saw an awesome example of a "one prayer" type experience. One of the churches in Tennessee had been destroyed by a tornado a few months ago. It had been there for decades. Well, another congregation nearby whom had been saving to rebuild their facility decided to take up extra collections for the church that lost their building. Anyway they all gathered together and went to the temporary location of the members and presented them with a check for over $200,000!! Instead of spending their saved funds on their own new building, they gave it away to the church that needed it more.
Maybe if the world saw more of this type giving, Christianity wouldn't get such a bad rap. Let us remember and pray for the truly good and unselfish Christ followers of the world. We all need to join together.
Did anyone else see this story.? It gave me goosebumps!!!
I'm praying for God's healing in the lives of John, Jeremy, Josh, Ron, Gary, Michelle, Patty, Ernie, Anita and Hollie. Thank you for allowing us to share our prayers that we may all join as one prayer!
