Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

57 Upvotes

Hello, r/PrayerRequests community!

You may have noticed the subreddit undergoing some changes recently. In an effort to give the space a reboot, things have been tidied and updated to help us operate smoothly so we can best support and encourage each other. As part of this renovation there are a few points to highlight:

  • If you have not read the rules in a while, please take a moment to review them as they have been updated and reorganized. If you wish to better understand the principles upon which our rules have been established you can also view our Statement of Faith page.
  • We have flair for praises now. You are encouraged to share your positive updates, answered prayers, and general praises. Let’s see some of those little green tags in here!
  • Our filters are fairly strict due to faith-based subreddits being common targets for trolls and scams. If your post is caught in the filter, please reach out to ModMail and it will be reviewed and appropriate action taken. (Please use the “message the mods” option at the bottom of the sidebar, not the chat feature or private messages to individual mods.)
  • Please REPORT any rule violations you see. We are a small team and reports help draw our attention to violations much more quickly. You can help keep our community safe by utilizing the reporting feature.

Speaking of which...

We are looking to expand our moderation team! The role of a moderator is to uphold and enforce the rules which have been built upon our Statement of Faith, so all applicants should be in agreement with both. If you are interested in becoming a mod, kindly send a ModMail to the subreddit answering the questions below. Please feel free to include anything else that you think may be useful to know as well.

  1. Would you mind sharing a little bit about your testimony/faith? (Such as how long you have been a Christian, if you consider yourself a particular denomination or part of any movement, or anything else which may help communicate your beliefs.)
  2. What times are you usually most active on reddit? (Please make sure to include your time zone.)
  3. Do you have any experience being a moderator on reddit or elsewhere?
  4. Why would you like to become a moderator for r/PrayerRequests?
  5. Do you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss regarding the position of moderator?

Please pray for our subreddit and its future as we seek to grow our moderation team.

Thank you all!

Please Pray for my lost soul.

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm asking for prayers because I feel like a lost soul.

Over the past few years, it feels like one thing after another has happened. I recently lost my job, and despite trying to put myself out there, dating hasn't worked out either. I've experienced rejection and loneliness, and it's left me feeling discouraged.

One of the deepest wounds I carry is losing my sister to suicide. That loss has changed me in ways I'm still trying to understand.

This past Sunday, I went to confession because I genuinely want to return to God. I want to follow Him with my whole heart. But I'm still struggling with pornography and masturbation. I hate that I keep falling into the same sins, and I feel like I'm constantly battling my flesh.

Some days I feel spiritually exhausted and wonder if I'll ever become the man God is calling me to be. Yet a small part of me still believes that His mercy is greater than my failures.

Please pray:

  • That God would help me find stable work.
  • That He would heal my grief over my sister.
  • That He would restore my hope after so much rejection and loneliness.
  • That He would break the chains of pornography and masturbation in my life.
  • That He would strengthen my faith and help me persevere instead of giving up.
  • That I would learn to trust His timing, even when I don't understand it.

If you could also pray for my future vocation—whether that is marriage or another path—that I would have the wisdom to accept God's will, I would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to pray for a stranger. May God bless each of you abundantly.

Please pray that God takes my heartbreak away

22 Upvotes

I recently went through a very painful breakup, and I feel like I’m struggling to function without him. I haven’t been handling it well, and I feel such a deep emptiness and void in my life without him. I feel so unhappy that the things that used to bring me joy don’t feel the same anymore. I’ve been lacking motivation, struggling to take care of myself, and honestly, I feel like a mess. I’m asking for prayers that God helps heal my heart, gives me strength, and helps me find peace again. I know healing takes time, but right now I’m just asking God to carry me through this pain because I don’t feel strong enough to do it alone.

I am broken hearted

Pray that I can trust God our Lord. He has closed every avenue for what I’m fighting for. No matter how much I want it He has closed the doors. I understand there’s something better that He has promised for me. It is still hard to let go. Please pray for me to let go. Please pray for understanding, forgiveness, cast out fear, and most importantly love. Please help for my peace, forgiveness this mental turmoil to end. Please help me.

Trust issues

I’ve been hurt a lot by men in my life. I hold no grudges against them but it has hindered my ability to receive love and trust men in my relationships. Prayers the Lord will heal these parts, and send a loving man who treats me right, and won’t take advantage of me.

— adapted from John Eckhardt's prayer for breaking curses ♡

5 Upvotes

Heavenly Father, I repent of any sins in my life and my ancestors' lives that have resulted in a curse. I repent of all disobedience, rebellion, witchcraft, idolatry, lust, perversion, adultery, fornication, mistreatment of others, murder, cheating, lying, sorcery, divination, and all occult involvement. I ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I take authority over and break any and every curse upon my life in the name of Jesus. I break all curses of poverty, lack, destruction, sickness, death, and vagabondism. I break all curses on my marriage, my family, my children, my home, and my relationships. I break curses of rejection, pride, rebellion, lust, hurt, incest, Ahab, Jezebel, fear, insanity, madness, and confusion. I break all curses affecting my finances, my mind, my sexual character, my emotions, my will, and my relationships. I break every hex, jinx, spell, and spoken curse over my life. I break every fetter, shackle, chain, cord, yoke, and cycle that is the result of a curse.

According to Galatians 3:13, I have been redeemed from the curse of the law by the sacrifice of Jesus. I exercise my faith in the blood of Jesus. I loose myself and my descendants from any and every curse that can't follow us through the blood of Jesus, from the sins of the fathers. All of my sins have been remitted, and I loose myself from the curse that came as a result of all disobedience and rebellion to the Word of God.

I exercise my faith, and I know that confession is made unto salvation according to Romans 10. Therefore, I confess that Abraham's blessings are mine. I am not cursed, but I am blessed. I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath. I am the lender and not the borrower. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I am blessed, and what God has blessed cannot be cursed.

I command spirits of rejection, hurt, bitterness, unforgiveness, bondage, torment, death, destruction, fear, lust, perversion, mind control, witchcraft, poverty, lack, double-mindedness, sickness, confusion, infirmity, pain, divorce, separation, strife, contention, depression, sadness, loneliness, self-pity, self-rejection, anger, rage, wrath, anguish, vagabondism, insecurity, inferiority, abuse, and addiction to come out in the name of Jesus.

Lord, I thank You for setting me free from every curse and from every spirit that has operated in my life as a result of a curse. Amen.

Thank you for praying and interceding! God bless you all

My mom rubbed it in my face that I don’t have a man or kids. I’m 39.

Upvotes

I became a widow at 29. We were together for four short years. I loved him more everyday.

But since he died I saw my “friends” turn into vultures even when I wanted privacy and to be alone.

I’ve since been abused by every man I dated since. I’ve been raped. My health has declined. My liver is failing and soooo many people I love died including my dad. Two months ago a friend of mine who meant so much to me was murdered by his controlling wife and the cops aren’t doing anything. So to sum it up most people I loved are dead. Most were my age.

I can’t get a job despite my qualifications, I’m brown and ICE have harassed me. I have been discriminated against for jobs that are known to discriminate I later found out when I did everything right - I have the qualifications, I have experience, I have a Bachelors Degree from a top University in Boston, I have people skills, I have a stellar resume, I called and went to try to meet with people. I presented myself well.

I’m a full time caretaker and my mom is really depressed. I try so hard to cook and help her because she has arthritis and mobility trouble. So many insane bills and scams have landed on us and it’s overwhelming when I’ve exhausted resources.

I always wanted to be a mom, and yes I could have settled for guys who wanted to commit, yes even wealthy ones, even “good looking” ones, even “nice ones” but I knew that if I didn’t love them I couldn’t do it. Since becoming a widow, my cptsd and anxiety had reached new heights. I have to self preserve a lot of the time.

I tried to go find some good produce today with my mom and my old car had some alerts come on. My mom starts getting angry when I’m trying to remain calm and assess the situation. She was angry yesterday and rude to me which really just makes me feel like shit. I do a lot for her, I try to help her, support her emotionally, she hardly opens up and her anger just defeats the little motivation I summon up to try to survive. She says,”can’t go to this gas station, NO, go to the next, the next…”

My breaks are shitty, I already spent like 2k on repairs last month. I can’t afford a newer car. I finally go to an air pump and I’m filling it up. I hear her screaming to stop the air pump as if I don’t know what I’m doing. She then continues yelling/getting angry and doesn’t communicate in words why she wants me to do something like,”GET OUT OF THE CAR” she doesn’t tell me why.

She then starts fiddling with the settings in my car. Last time she did that thinking she knows best, it only cost more to get my car fixed. I tell her to stop and she doesn’t listen.

Then my car starts acting worse. We drive to a market where I spot someone my family knew from the 90’s. A cold bitch woman who would hit me when she looked after me and her kids while my parents worked. I was a well behaved kid but she abused and yelled at humiliated me when I was under her care. She’s a housewife and admitted gold digger. So seeing her I knew it would destabilize me and I would get the questions of,”Are you dating anyone, where are you living now….”

Like in the past when I was working after high school she always had a side comment when I was trying to save up money for an apartment while her kids were living in lavish penthouses with Louis Vuitton everything. She would judge me and say…”well that sounds healthy…”

You get it. She was a total destabilizing cunt. We didn’t go in. My mom was huffing and puffing and sulking and pouting instead of trying to just put our best foot forward.

I started raising my voice telling her I am trying to stay calm and how my mom treats me with little respect when I try everyday to help her.

Then she starts her,”I guess I can’t do anything right” shit. Then she says,”I know you’re unhappy because you don’t have a man and you don’t have kids.”

She starts talking dark defeatist things saying all the worst things.

I couldn’t bother going to another market that’s out of my budget anyway, but that was enough to have me break down in tears.

I have been raped, I have been abused, I have been backstabbed. I try so hard to be positive while the outside world and my own mother shoot me down.

I’m not trying to be a victim. I don’t like to indulge in self pity. But fuck, I’m tired of this life. This isn’t living. It’s been one hell storm after another. I can’t do this.

She’s right. I don’t have a man anymore and I don’t have kids and that breaks my heart everyday. Yes I’ve been picky because I don’t want a guy who will treat me like dirt just so I can have a baby.

My friends who are alive are robotic and I know better than to open up to them, so we keep it “positive”.

I really just give up. I’ve tried to end myself for years. I can’t take it anymore.

close to total loss of hope

I feel like I am close to total loss of hope.
My efforts are not going anywhere.
Each day I fail.
I’m a failure.
I don’t know how much of this I could take.
Please pray for me that I do not do anything against His will. That I do not commit a sin so grave…

Please pray I get freedom from this evil world

Upvotes

I’m only 23, I’ve faced many life times of trauma, I feel like I’m in a dark dark place no way out, no hope like a dark cave but it collapsed and I was left.
Whenever I post online about my situations in life, no one believes me, or they think I’m making excuses, I just get pushed down further and further. No help, I genuinely find it hard to believe there are any good people in this world.
I suffer mentally from trauma, financially bad as well, I wish government assistance would actually be useful but somehow don’t qualify. In lots of debt, low paying job, can barely afford to survive, on top of all of this, I’ve had multiple fathers, 2 are abusive and one died ofc it was the good one, been bullied at school, told I was going to hell bc I’m trans, was born in a poor family suffering, always alone in school, felt like everyone saw me a weirdo or something bad, my wife had cardiac arrest during surgery , and almost died, her family blamed me I posted on here yall prayed, she’s fine now, but I worry a lot.

Ever since I was a kid, I have suffered and suffered, I always thought it would get better but it never did, it only got worse and more suffering, it doesn’t matter I try, and always will but I’ll continue to suffer and feel isolated in this world.

Maybe pray that I get freedom from life please

Prayers for the sick

Upvotes

There is this man fighting for his sight please pray for him. For all the sick.

Also please play for my wife and her exams, her fitness journey because she wants to improve and gain some weight but it's hard for her to stay consistent.

I had a female colleague that struggled with eating as well. She went down to like 65-70 lb? Which is very low even for a woman. She was extorted for money and forced to take loans, left work. That's what she said at least. Please pray for her as well and for my marriage I have personal struggles as well.

Praying for the door to open for a new job

Hi, prayer warriors,

I’ve been seeking a new role for about six months, and I’m finally starting to gain some traction. I would truly appreciate your prayers as I continue through this process and trust God to open the right door.

Please pray that God gives me confidence, clarity of thought, and the ability to communicate effectively during interviews. I pray that the lord is with me in every conversation, guiding my mind, my words, and helping me present myself in the best way possible. Most of all, I pray for peace throughout this process and that the right opportunity comes at the right time.

Thank you so much for your prayers. They mean so much to me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

Urgent prayer requests for my beloved dog, Huey.

37 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am reaching out to ask for your prayers for my beloved dog, Huey.
Huey is a 7yr old Cattle dog mix, who to all appearances, just a few days ago was an extremely happy healthy boy of a very resilient breed who can easily live up to 16 years who has never had any health issues at all. He is my partner and I’s first dog together and like a child to us.
He is currently asymptomatic and acting like his usual self, but we are facing a very stressful medical situation and are waiting for critical answers today.
Recently, his routine bloodwork showed some abnormalities. We retested, and the results had worsened. Yesterday, we had a consult with an internal medicine specialist and did an abdominal ultrasound, which revealed further abnormalities. During the ultrasound, they took fluid aspirates, but because he experienced some internal bleeding, he had to be hospitalized overnight.
Thankfully, he is back home with us now, but we are anxiously awaiting the cytology results, which should arrive by the end of the day today. The specialist mentioned three possibilities: a severe tick-borne illness (even though he is on preventative medication), an immune-mediated disease, or cancer.

Please pray with us that he is cancer free.

Thank you all for lifting our sweet boy up in prayers.
