Prayer Requests

[Jennifer5]

...that I'll finish all the work from my sophomore year before I have to start this year's work.

...that my mom's business will continue to grow.

[Jennifer5]

*for me, that I will continue to experience these things that can teach me so much...

*that people will feel a little relief from the election chaos & that the election resultes will reflect what is best for the people of this country and the world

[antiochian]

I add my prayers to Jennifer's for good leaders who will work for equality and help our country find a way out of this mess. Kyrie eleison...

Just a general prayer for all here on the forums, whatever their needs or concerns in life may be, and for all who work for Soulforce, that they would find strength to continue on.

For my student career... I've had a rough couple of weeks at college. I'm discouraged and depressed. I've always done well gradewise, but I'm really starting to worry now. If you feel so led, please pray that providence would help me through this time, and give me some hope. Thank you.

I'll be praying for you, Antiochian. Can you share any more about whats going on?

[Gennee]

Please pray for boldness as I start my own business. Also pray for the elections.

Blessings on your business, Gennee.

Please remember Timothy, my niece's father-in-law, who was admitted to hospice today due to a terminal illness, and his family, especially my niece Amanda and her husband Jordon.

God be with us.

I am moving this Saturday from Richmond VA to Kansas City Missouri to help my mom with my Grandma and other family dynamics. At this point, for me, coming out is not an option until things calm down. It's very bittersweet to be relocating...not only because my Grandfather is no longer with us (he passed September 23rd) but because I'm having to move away from my girlfriend of almost 2 years (we've only been living together since March 2008). I wish she would come with me but her job demands are here...

with that said, please pray for safe travels and that I will have the courage to come out...and also that my girlfriend (and I) won't be too incredibly lonely & that despite the separation our relationship will continue to grow. I know in my gut that this separation won't be forever although it may seem like it

thank you

-That I will find a fulfilling job soon like the one I had before I moved to Denver

-That I will find someone truly genuine to be my friend. Living in a new city can get lonely (even if I am married!) I'm tired of fair-weather friends.

For me to figure out how to deal with current problems. It has to deal with my family, but it's childish to be upset about it.. so I'm not going to say what's going on.

I don't know how to deal with this.... I just want to start crying.

For my mom, who came home shaking uncontrollably. Between the process of getting home and the slipping on the ice, she didn't have the best day.

Single mom running her own cleaning business, she doesn't have the luxury of sick days. Schools and most businesses were closed today because of the snow and ice, but she went to work anyway. After all, when you get paid by the hour, if you don't show up there's no money. She was fine getting into town, but trying to get home was another story.

After sliding down one big hill a couple times she desided to call the people at the house she just left, to help her. The second time she had slid down the hill, she headed right for either a tree or off the road (which would've dropped her about 6 ft.). She was completely shocked when the jeep stopped just before hitting anything (even though she was still on a hill). This we were very greatful for since she would have ended up quite hurt and our only car could have easily ended up totaled.

In the process of trying to get the car up the hill, she slipped and is now hurting from head to toe. The poor guy helping her also slipped several times, but luckily they finally got her off of their 'driveway'.

Unfortunately for her, she spun out three more times before getting home.

Between getting hurt falling; sprained something in her hand, head ache from hitting it on the ground and the rest her body is sore because of the way she fell. And then that whole process of actually getting home... she just had a scary day. Something that no one ever needs.


Alright, enough of the ranting. That she feels better soon and that we will buy chains tomorrow.

I applied for a wonderful job on Monday and I'm really really hoping that I get it. I need a job badly but the economy has not been kind.

Please pray that I get this job or find another just as wonderful soon!

Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, etc..., just share what's on your heart and we will hold you in our thoughts & prayers.

peace,

Thank you so much for being here. I'd like to post so I can explain how desperately I need prayer and counsel but I've seen no instructions as to "HOW" to post here.

I left a message for you on your page. Let me know if you need any help.

Charley is in hospital with an erratic heart beat. They have found clots in his lungs. The prognosis is good now that they have identified what is wrong, but the situation is very stressful. We could use the prayers and support of our friends on Soulforce.

[u-dog]

One of our Soulforce Forum Buds has contacted me and shared that they are going through a real rough patch. Take a minute and raise them up and commit them to the care of the Divine. You don't know their name perhaps ... but God does.

February 13th and 14th as dates, do not haunt me this year. Those were the dates a few years ago that everything got ugly and my mom filed for divorce (the ugliness is the bad part, not the divorce).

My mom was doing alright, my sister and I were fine. Perhaps a little anxious, but nothing much. However, apparently it still has a lot of meaning for my dad. He just had to contact my sister and I today. He wasn't being rude this time, I just can't deal with him. I get upset (in a scared way) just hearing from him.

I hope that he'll go away again after this anniversary passes.

Please PM me with any advice of guidance if you think it is needed. I don't know how to deal with it, my normal response to NOT deal with it and wait for it to go away.

[Jennifer5]

I take a placement test in the morning which will determine whether or not I get into the program I want. I almost passed the first time and this is my last chance this year. Please send positive energy my way! It always helps!

[Jennifer5]

I hold every one of you close to my heart as the economic downturn affects your lives in the most painful of ways. Relationships struggle all too much because of money troubles. Remember, your relationship is far more valuable than you house.

Life's a roller coaster.

Could you pray for me?
-That I would get through finals! It has been a rough week.

-That I would resolve issues with a friend of mine. We have had some arguments about diversity and social justice. It has gotten tense and upsetting. I care about this person, but think that his views can be disrespectful and hurtful. It's hard not to get hurt and shut down or mouth off when I feel like I am defending myself and friends. I've learned much from my exchanges with him that have influenced my work, and want to keep the dialogue open.

-For good relationships for the queer people in my community (and everywhere!). That the added stress makes us all stronger and more dedicated, not divided and jaded.

-For all those struggling with anxiety and depression. That we may find a natural life-expression that brings us joy and communicates our God-given place in this world.

I will be thinking of you and the things mentioned.
You're prayers are heard.
