I thought it would be nice if we could have a thread where people can put prayer requests for us to pray for. Obviously if it's urgent or going to have lots of discussion then do start your own thread; this isn't meant to stop this. But this is for those smaller things that you would like prayer for, that don't feel significant enough to start a thread about.

Thank you to everyone who’s been praying for my daughter. Her treatment has worked and right now she’s cancer free so I think your prayers must have worked. Please keep praying that her cancer will never return. I will pray for everyone on this thread .

Wonderful news! Thank you Lord for giving the medical team the gifts and resources to treat @Cookiesandbeans's daughter to the point that she is cancer free. Keep strong in Him. 💐🙏

Hi everyone, I haven't been on this thread before, I was redirected from another prayer thread which I this is an older one butI just wondered if I could ask for prayers for my daughter for her mental health? She is 15 and we are very concerned about her. We do have CAMHS and other involvement, just need prayers for things to turn around. It's hard to tell Christian friends in real life because of her privacy. Thanks

Praying for your daughter, unbeatenmum, that things turn around and her mental health improves. And that you feel the peace and love of God’s support.

I don’t have the courage to post separately. I am struggling to hold on to hope Lord. My DH and I are I deep distress. I have not lost faith in You, You are still God but you are not here, you are out of reach, out of sight. I don’t even know if you hear our prayers anymore. The father I loved has become an estranged Father and I don’t know why. We feel so abandoned and alone there is no way out , we have no one we can talk to, no one to help. Desperate. There is no one to help,us Please help us

My dear God is never out of reach, He is right beside you in your distress.

1 Cor. 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

I'm sure you know the poem Footprints.

One thing that really struck me recently was that the writer asks God after seeing the single footsteps in the sand "where were you in the times when I really needed you?"
So he didn't realise that God was carrying him at the bad times. That felt really important to me, that the writer didn't know it, but God was still there. He felt abandoned, but not only was he not abandoned, but God was carrying him through it.
I found that really comforting, having recently been through a very difficult time and felt that God was far away.

I pray for both of you. Pray that God will be with you always and you will know he is with you.

Praying for her, and praying for you too to say the right things and the right time and for you to be supported too.

Amen to the wise words expressed by @AlteredStater and @MargaretThursday

I pray in Jesus' name that God ministers to you in your time of deep distress according to His Sovereign Will.

Reading a particular site, it advises the following steps: 1. Seek Truth in Scripture 2. Confess Unbelief 3. Share Your Concerns With Trusted Christian Community 4. Spend Time With God 5. Look for Things to Be Grateful For 6. Walk in the Holy Spirit 7. Wait on the Lord

Adding my prayers to all of my sisters’ prayers here @NeedingHope .

He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Hold on to that promise no matter what your feelings are telling you 🙏🏻 xxx

continuing to pray for you @UnbeatenMum and your daughter 🙏🏻 xx

God is good. Even when we can’t see it, He is still good. 🙏🏻

Broken from parenting my ND 15 year old alone since DH died 8 years ago. Looks like he’s not going to sit a single gcse. I’ve tried so hard. His younger sister is regularly upset by his behaviour despite my best efforts. The way he treats me is awful. I’m desperately trying to hold on to the job I enjoy and need. I’m hugely sleep deprived. Please pray. Life has been so so hard since 2013, for pity’s sake. I am now a shadow, and clean out of hope.

Dear Father, please help this mother and her children. God, we cry out to You to make a way through for her and for them. We know You are merciful and gracious. God, please help. I have no more words but You know the cry of our hearts for this family. 🙏🏻😭😭😭

Praying for you now, stjulian23, and for your children. I pray you feel God is with you while you parent without your husband, which must be so so hard, and as you parent and love your two dc and their different needs. It must be hard juggling everything you are coping with. I pray that you feel and know God’s love and peace, that you get a break and some sleep, that you keep your job which sounds so important, and that hope returns.

Thanks to those who prayed for my daughter. I don't want to go into loads of detail without a trigger warning but she is doing so much better.
