Prayer Request

Dear Lord,
I pray you give me the strength to hold on until the dawn. While I am usually tenacious about keeping on, my will to go on is diminishing fast. I now look at two failed marriages, a loneliness that is robbing me of even that will to make it to another day. I do realize how ungrateful that sounds to you Lord, with all the blessings I have been given over this life you breathed into me. I am deeply ashamed of those sins I have committed and ask your forgiveness.

Please protect and guide my children, Amanda, Samantha and Joshua, may they learn to walk with you and know their blessings. Protect and guide their mother Denise and help her to remain a positive influence in their lives. Watch over and guide my wife Adriana and my stepdaughter Karen, who loves me but isn't in love with me and has chosen to live hundreds of miles away. May they both know I love them with all my heart and I was complete, happy and full of life when they were in mine.Please pray for my sister Lori, who is facing so much adversity with her business, and for the health of her son Caleb who has a visit with the neurosurgeon tomorrow for the growth they found on his brain during a recent X-ray, please heal him and let his faith continue to grow, I pray for Stormy, that the lung cancer is held off and you enjoy watching Dylan grow. Give Jeff the strength he needs to help his wife through this time. Help Alister to realize you are there and never left his side. Watch over my family and let them know your love and protection wherever they may be.

May God continue to bless those of you joining in this prayer and may He keep you in His magnificent graces. Dear Lord, each of these people here joining in this prayer has a need that only you can fill, I ask in your Son's great name that you provide for that need and carry each one further on the path you set out before them.

We thank you God for our lives, our families, the many blessings we all have known only by Your hand and for all of Creation, amen.

Prayer Request

Again I come before you Lord thanking you for the very breath I take that sustains the life you have given me. Everything has its purpose and everything a reason.
Knowing that I am torn in a situation I can't reason through, my wife, whom I truly love and cherish has not only decided she doesn't love me the way she feels she must, but we have been separated for over a year now, each on opposite ends of the country. We would talk daily and affirm we still loved each other, but there was always one reason after another as to why we couldn't be together. Now my wife has decided it is best that we go our separate ways. I clearly don't agree and have cleared most hurdles to make my way east to be with her. Now she has cut off all contact in a effort to end this marriage. Dear Lord I truly believe you brought us together for a purpose, and I have never before understood unconditional love as I have with Adriana. I ask that your will be done, but therein is my dilemma. What is I am asking that we come together again and your will is that we go our separate ways? How am I to know what it is what you want? In the natural, to let this go without more effort seems against how you want a married couple to be, and I fear that asking for what I want instead of letting you pull the strings is further frustrating me and keeping me from your blessings. My prayer to you is simple, help me to accept your will, whether it is for us to be together or apart, do not let Satan have any control over the decisions either of us make, I pray that she remembers and cherishes the love we shared, something I hope we only improve upon as we pledged when we married. I ask you to watch over us both and leave both our hearts open to your will. I ask this in your son's holy name, with who's sacrifice we owe our very eternal lives.

Dear God,

So much I owe to you, all that is and ever will be are by your hand. Every star in heaven,every grain of sand, every soul that ever came to be are here because you made it so. So my thanks can never approach what you rightfully deserve for all you have done, but know in my heart I do thank and praise you. You are the Most High God, to you belongs all praise.

Asking for more is something I feel guilty for, almost as if I were unappreciative. But I know that you need to hear what it is that stirs my heart to be able to show me that you are there and that your love is never ending. Please God, I ask that you come into our marriage and make it stronger, help it to fight off all the attacks it faces from day to day, help to remove doubt and move us to action. Help us to come closer together, honoring each other as Jesus honored the church. I pray you continue your blessings and help us to walk in faith that you will always be there for us. Come into this marriage and cause us to see the positive and work out the negative, let us live in love unconditionally. Help us to have the patience and understanding that all happens for a reason and that if we listen we hear you speak to us in all that happens around us.
I pray also for all those who are struggling with all that life is throwing at them now, be it financial, emotional or physical issues. Bring them peace, see to their needs and heal the wounds and sicknesses they suffer. Let no one ever feel as if they are alone and unloved, for you are there and you do love them, unconditionally.

I am trying to walk with a positive perspective...in your great name I place my faith...
