Prayer Requests
I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. I believe in petitioning God for anything and everything, and I believe in asking for people to pray for you.
I would like to offer this page as a prayer request forum. You can email me prayer requests privately – I will keep them strictly confidential. Or you can post them here and allow other people the opportunity to pray for you as well. You can even post anonymously if you wish, allowing your prayer request to be placed out there for a chorus of prayer, but also allowing your confidence to be kept. You can have it public for a time then email me privately and ask me to remove it. It is all up to you.
I would also encourage you to post answers to prayers here. What an encouragement that would be to other people!
God answers prayer. God promises that He will always answer prayer. Please put your trust in Him, put your faith in Him, and let Him answer your prayers.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It is a privilege and a pleasure to share prayer.

Mark 11:22-25
“‘Have faith in God,’ Jesus answered. ‘I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, “Go, throw yourself into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins’”
Luke 6:12
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
Luke 11:1-13
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’” Then he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.’ “Then the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man’s boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs. “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
John 14:13-14
I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it

James 4:3
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
James 5:13-16
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him
Revelations 5:8
And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

I need some prayers and well wishes sent our way.. A couple months ago we decided to try lowering Richards medication to a maintence dosage and all was well.. for a while. I think we are looking at a replase becuase he is so symtomatic. Please send us good thoughts as I am really struggling with my emotions on this and am at my wits end. I don’t want to go through this again and i know i can’t do it alone.
Thanks
Denise
You got them, Denise. Please keep us updated. You’re not alone, by the way. Hebrews 13:5, Jesus said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” And in the original Greek, it’s as if Jesus said, “I will never ever ever forsake you.” So hold onto that and know you’re not alone – and I’ll be praying. ((hug))
I just happen to come to your site and I love it. I do have a prayer request.
My husband and I have been trying to have children for 6 years with no luck. I try to keep prayerful about it but it gets very hard. We are trying to run a farm business and I can’t get a job, so the finances are very tight. We are having a really hard time paying bills. We took out some loans a few years back to help pay for some fertility treatments and since I can’t get a job we are tapped out with ways of finding money for more fertility treatments. I was able once to get pregnant without the help of fertility drugs but lost the pregnancy because the baby had Down Syndrome. Because of our credit and financial status adoption is out for now, so the only way is to get pregnant natural. To make maters worst I had thyroid cancer a couple of years ago and had to stop trying for a year and even though I had a low dose radiation iodine treatment it still can hurt chances. I try to keep positive but it is getting very hard. I don’t know why we just can’t catch a break. I wish I knew what Gods plan is for me. I know he has a plan meant for me but it is hard to understand why he is letting us get this low before we know what it is.
I am currently reading the book of Judges and am reading about Gideon who was visited by an angel of the Lord who told him to go to war against the Midianites and that God would protect him and he would win. Gideon was so unsure of himself that he asked for God’s confirmation not once, but twice. (Judges 6:36-40) He had been visited and had a face-to-face conversation with an angel and still wasn’t positive that his actions/reactions/actions were in line with the will of God.
How nice it would be if God would just dispatch angels to come down and speak to us directly so that we know what and why and how. But we don’t. We just have faith and prayer and more faith. Sometimes the hardest tests to that faith is not feeling progress in a petition. And other times the hardest tests to faith is when God just says, “No.”
I am sorry for your loss. I’ve been pregnant 8 times and have only 3 children, so I know what it is to suffer loss.
I will keep you in my prayers and hope you continue to update us.
Hallee
This is from a cherished friend of mine:
We received some devastating news about our baby girl, Abby, last week. Abby has a brain tumor, called an optic glioma. She’s had it since before she was born. It is inoperable. But they think it is benign and slow-growing, and that she can live with this and have a mostly normal life, though with lots of doctors in her future.
Our understanding is that her treatment options are: wait-and-see, which basically means do nothing and get another MRI in a few monthts to monitor growth; or start her on outpatient chemo. That is very frightening to me as you can imagine, but her oncologist assured me that the type of chemo she would get for a benign tumor is not the same as they give in-patient for malignant tumors, that she wouldnt’ be that sick, etc. We are still learning and don’t know much. On Monday we go back to discuss which path to take right now.
Please pray for my baby girl, that her disease will stay stable and that her tumor will not grow. I can just pray that God will have mercy on her and on me, and spare her. I don’t want her to suffer and I can’t imagine a world without her. THe doctors seemed to think that her prognosis for survival could be pretty high provided that she receives regular care and monitoring for the rest of her life.
Abby is in my prayers. I pray the Lord watches over her and helps her health improve, with the tumor staying the size it is, or completely disappearing. May he also watch over her family and give comfort and peace to her wonderful mommy.
I could use a prayer or two, if you could. I am really stuck in a rut, completely depressed. Chris (my husband) doesn’t seem to be getting better (he is bi-polar). I was able to encourage him to take a shower today, sadly that is a constant battle. But I am stuck in a rut, and always put my feelings deep down. I never give myself the time to get over whatever is bothering me, so I just bottle it up. And then it eats away at me. I get either depressed or very angry. It’s never a good thing. If you could pray that somehow the Lord guides me to happiness, I would be so grateful. I don’t want for much, don’t need much, just to be happy is all I need. I’ve never been a materialistic person, flashy or whatnot. I just have always longed to be happy.
Thanks Hallee.
God Bless and Hugs,
Angel
I have been praying for you and your husband. I wanted to share with you that there are two books that changed my life forever. First and foremost is the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. This is a book that every married couple must read together. If you and your husband have not done so, please find a way to read this as a couple and talk through it. Second, please encourage your husband to read Unmasking Male Depression by Dr. Archibald Hart. I cannot tell you how much this book changed my emotional state, my spiritual state, and my continued outlook on life. I included links to these books at
Christianbook.com for your convenience but get them wherever you like — half.com or amazon or borrow them from your church or public library.
And God Bless you. You and your husband will remain in my prayers.
Gregg
Thank you Gregg. I really appreciate it. Both those are on my list to buy next.
God Bless and Hugs,
Angel
Praying for precious Abby and the other prayer requests. I would like to ask prayer for my family. I have several members of my family that are drug addicts. It is very hard to deal with so also pray for the rest of us trying to sort thru all this mess. I ask that God guide me down the path he wants me to take not the path that well meaning friends are trying to force upon me. God has a plan and a reason and I am waiting for him to tell me BEFORE I move. Thank you so much in advance for your prayers and God Bless you all.
Please pray for our family. We are hurting financially and have some big decisions to make soon. Please pray that we will follow God’s will in our life.
Thank you!
Father God, bless this family. God, You know all of our needs and Your word assures us that all things work for good to those who love You. We trust You and trust in You to put us on the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. God comfort and touch this family, we pray. Guide them deeper into Your will in this time of earthly trial. We have faith that it is so in the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Please pray that I find a job soon and very soon. I am currently unemployed. My parents are having financial difficulty as well and I would love for God to open a door for me to be able to take care of them!
I will certainly be praying for you, Jana. Thank you.
Thank you so very much for your prayers. I had an interview this morning and it went well. Thank you and God bless you.
How exciting! I can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
Please continue to pray they still have not made a hiring decision. I really NEED this job. I know the Father knows our needs before we even ask. So, I know I am in His hand and cannot be plucked out. Thank you again and God bless you and your family.
I have had another interiew with a different office. This job would really be a great fit for me, and I would like to think I am a great fit for them. Please continue to pray as I should be hearing something soon. Thank you for taking the time to read the prayer request you get and to pray for them. I am thankful for my sisters in Christ who will stand and pray for one another.
I found this section of your blog at the perfect time. God is so good that way!
Last night my mother called to tell me she has been having chest pain for the past five days, and was admitted to hospital. They just can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong. She’s been very stressed lately (today is the 2 year “anniversary” of her father’s death, she’s filing for divorce, and my brother has finals this week and must do very well in order to pass into the next grade), and I’m sure that’s a big part of it. I’m fearful of driving to see her (2 hours away) because I’m pregnant and she doesn’t know yet. My husband and I were planning to drive in to tell her this coming weekend. I worry that the shock will be bad for her heart (Yes, I could just not say anything about it, but I’m 10 weeks and starting to show, not to mention she’s my mother so she’ll just know when she sees me), so I’m just not sure what to do. I want to be there for her, because my brother’s in school (8th grade… and he needs support too. He doesn’t handle medical stuff well ever since my grandparents died because he was the one that called 911 for each of them) and there’s nobody else there except for her soon-to-be-ex-husband that just doesn’t care, but I don’t want to make it worse! I’m praying blessing upon her doctors and her body. Please, please, please keep our family in your prayers.
Elizabeth:
So much is going on right now. I will keep your family and your pregnancy in my prayers. Please keep me updated.
I would like to repeat: GOD IS SO GOOD!
I know He hears prayers, but I’ve always been told that He answers on His own time and own way. That usually leads us through a long road of trials and tribulations (always for our good). This time, His time was less than a week.
My mother is out of the hospital, and my little brother graduated from middle school today! They’re still not sure what caused the chest pains, but they do know that it’s not her heart. It’s possible that she had an allergic reaction to a new grilling maranade/ seasoning mix they tried. (I couldn’t pronounce 3/4 of the ingredients. Talk about gaining a testimony of eating the way God intended!)
Her husband really surprised me. He showed up and was very supportive in taking care of her. (She’s taking it easy for a few weeks until they can figure out what’s going on.)Since the last time I spoke with her (about 2 weeks ago), they decided not to divorce, and he’s started attending a local church. Not the same as my mom’s, but definately a step in the right direction since her new-found zeel for God was a big problem for him. Things are not perfect, but they’re improving.
As I’m sure you’ve gathered, I decided to make the trip. She took the news of becoming a grandma fairly well. She’s just being her usual mom self and is worried about it being too much to handle and affecting my studies. (I’m in a combined BS/MS program getting certified to teach special needs children.) In her mind, the ideal situation would be for me to be done with school and well established in a career before having children. (She doesn’t take me seriously when I explain that I plan to be a full-time homemaker after I graduate, assuming we’re in a financial position to do that.) But this is not her plan; it’s the plan my husband and I placed before our Father in Heaven and He supports it, apparently. :) She’s also cautious about getting too excited because my last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Still, I spoke with her on the phone and she won’t stop telling me to “give the peanut a hug” for her, so I think that means she’s accepting it.
I cannot thank you enough for your prayers! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I love this. Reading this makes me so happy. God is good — all the time.
Hi Hallee…was viewing my daughters (Kelle) Facebook page and saw your name. I’m living here in Columbus, am a 60 yr. old,unmarried BELIEVER. Don’t know how I ended up reading your pages but stranger things have happened. I have been unemployed since Oct. 2009 and am presently maintaining on my VA disability. It seems that every time I attempt to pick up my bed and move on, some other disabling illness knocks me back down. Now I have several female issues which I will not go into detail about.I rely completely on the Veterans hospital for my healthcare and have always been thankful for it. But in this day and time, they’re a bit overwhelmed and female issues are not their priority. Please pray for me. I am in pain daily and am getting a bit depressed. I feel like Job. And I understand what you meant when you wrote (in your testimony),that praying just seemed to make things worse, so you stop praying. But I KNOW that prayer is the answer and I KNOW my Father loves me. I’m just feeling a bit like an orphan right now. Thank you so much and God bless.
Sandra: I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Recently, we were praying pretty hard for you, if I’m not mistaken. I will pray for your body to be healed, for your spirits to be uplifted, and for you to be encouraged to find joy in all things and peace that passes understanding.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME:
As I have stated before my husband is not a christian. So I am praying gods word over him in private. This last week I was praying pretty heavily trusting God’s promise that he has given me the authority over the enemy on my husband’s behalf (Ephesians 6:11) (as well as over my children!) Boy did the @#$% hit the fan – Satan is trying his hardest to make me pay for defeating him. My youngest son is acting out so terribly I had to call his probation officer; my husband went off on my son; I walked into work and got called into the bosses office; etc.. he is hitting my family pretty hard. I NEED PRAYERS TO STAND FIRM IN CONTINUING TO PRAY FOR MY FAMILY AND TO WAIT AND TRUST THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL. IN JESUS NAME – Jerri
Jerri – I will be praying for you. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity. Please keep me posted.
Hallee,
After reading your testimony and other articles on your blog, I felt really inspired to seek your faith and prayers for a dear friend of mine. Since she and her husband have been married they have suffered the loss of 6 babies. She lost 3 in prior relationships. Needless to say, it’s been a rough road for them. After the most recent miscarriage, they decided to adopt. They’re wanting to adopt sibling groups of children (rather than an infant) because the odds of being allowed to adopt them are better because there is lower demand. They’ve been so close to having children in their home 3 or 4 times now, but the other couples always get selected. She told me it feels like another version of a miscarriage every time.
She’s been through a lot and I fear that she’s starting to become angry with God. Please keep her in your prayers. I’m truely at a loss of how I can help her, especially being pregnant myself (at 16 weeks with quite the baby bump). I feel like everytime she sees me it’s a reminder of what she should have had by now, but doesn’t. I feel like I need to keep my enthusiasm in check around her, but can’t because she’s my best friend and this is a time to celebrate for me. As somebody who’s lost a baby before, I too celebrate every little milestone, and can’t help trying to bring others into my celebration.
Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many!
Elizabeth
If you have an extra prayer to spare, I certainly would appreciate it. I’ve been praying for clarity on a big decision I have to make within the next couple of months. Praying that the everything falls into place as it should and I have clarity on my purpose. Thanks Hallee! You’re truly an inspiration.
1. Hubby’s ankle is all messed up. He landed on it while playing baseball because he was fence jumping to get the ball and didn’t make it. The VA ortho guy he saw didn’t even re-xray his ankle, despite the fact that every other doctor he’s seen has said it was too swollen to see anything definitive. Prayers for both his ankle and a doctor who will give him a second opinion cheaply would be awesome.
2. Father-in-law: He’s been “hurt” for about as long as hubby has so he hasn’t been working either, or helping around the house. We could use prayer as to what to do about him. We can’t afford to NOT have him live here (he helps with rent, barely) but we can’t afford to have him living here if he’s not going to grow up.
3. Just general prayers for the newbie I’m growing. We’re not due till December and I don’t want to go into labor as early, or earlier, than I did with Aria. She was a month early. So I’m a little apprehensive, especially w/ all the extra stress around here right now…
