What If His People Prayed?

[PeculiarTreasure]

Hey ya'll. I could really use some prayer today. My depression is flaring up awful. Thanks.

 

[Supplanter]

The way I see it, I either need to win the Powerball jackpot, have a rich uncle die and bequeath me his estate, have some other benefactor pay for my edumacation, or get a higher-paying job that doesn't stress me out as much as my current one.

Either that, or decide not to go to college and sign my life away with loans.

So I need prayer for my stepdad.... badly. Long story short. He fired one of his employees for not doing work he was supposed to do... and we live in a small county and the judge that's on one of his cases is friends with this ex-employee's dad.

So my stepdad tried to get a continuance on a case and the judge tried to say he was lying, and is trying to hold my stepdad in contempt. My stepdad was NOT lying... the judge is using anything he can against my stepdad because of the fact that the employee was fired.

So the case is resuming this morning, and my stepdad hired his own attorney from Southern California, the client is coming with his two commanding officers (the client is in the Army and is technically on active duty, which is why the continuance was asked for.) And my stepdad brought a bailbondsman in case the judge tries to put him in jail...

Anyway, this is just a big mess and he needs prayer. That the judge will realize when he's trying to do is wrong and dismiss his accusation...

Thanks.

Praying for everyone's needs.

And I wanted to just add a praise report. Aside from one trip to the ER a week after my mom's surgery, she has healed extremely well and quickly. I can only account that fact to God, so thanks to everyone who said a prayer for her.

I'd like prayer to continue to trust in God and walk by faith and to have the discernment to follow whereever He directs my path. I just want to be willing and moldable in whatever God wants to do with me.

Rob, you're in customer service and seem like a nice guy---- have you ever thought about being a server? When I waited tables, although it could be stressful at times the pay with tips was a lot better than min. wage (which I'm assuming is what you're being paid now).

In fact, I've been tossing around the idea of picking up a couple shifts a week to make a little extra money, if you weren't sure that you wanted to make the leap then you could start out that way and eventually quit your current job if you liked it.

If a restaurant has beer and/or a bar, the tips will always be better.

Anyway, just a thought. I know how badly money troubles can suck.

Oh, and hugs for singing and Keri too, I prayed for everyone who posted today.

I've been in customer service for 3+ years, and I did give thought to waiting tables. In fact, I put in an application for a restaurant and I'm going to see what they can offer me. Right now I'm getting paid better than minimum wage, but my goal is to get paid at least $11.00 before taxes. I'm also looking at getting a job at an airport parking service, which has the potential for $100 in tips each night.

We'll see. Thank you all for your prayers.

My sister is pregnant and the baby is due in September. She is going to be 33 weeks on Saturday. The baby is still head up (she should be head down by 29 weeks, I think my sister said) and they will be doing a c-section if she does not turn by 36 -37 weeks. My sister is worried about this, and a little scared. This is her first pregnancy.

Please pray for her and the baby - that the baby would turn, the c-section would be avoided, and that the delivery will be bearable.

Praying for your sister and baby.

I love, love this idea - love the title of the thread (and apparently the song title, as well), love the premise... love it.



Two important prayer requests right now:


That I may center myself, focus on the breath -and words- of God more and discover more useful ways of channeling my energy. As a result of this, to not be so strung-out on overwhelming responsiblities.


Two: (Sorry, that first one seemed like more than one) Family. That my family learn to be more open with each other and embrace each other, regardless of differences in opinions - that we may shed our immaturities when dealing with one another and to love as God loves.





Thank you *hug*

Hi. Yesterday I noticed one of my radio colleagues wasn't on the air for his morning show. I just assumed he took a vacation day. However, when I came in yesterday afternoon to do some work on another station in the building, I was told that he didn't show up for work. Apparently he fell and hit his head so hard it knocked him out. Coworkers called police to check on him when they couldn't get ahold of him. He woke up and was taken to the local hospital but transported to another hospital to be seen by a neurologist. They are afraid he has bleeding in his brain or something like that. So far today, no one knows anything new. I'm concerned about him. He's my age.

Thanks,

HC

i need some prayer for myself.
1. School started yesterday and i'm completely unmotivated about this year- to the point of apathy. And i'm having to stand on my foot all day which is making it hurt and it hasn't been hurting before.
2. my foot. i guess it's getting better. I'm seeing a foot an ankle specialist now and he's going to put me on an antibotic to see if the swelling will go down. And then if it doesn't, i have to get an mri done. He said it now might be a torn tendon or ligament. I don't know and i feel like he really doesn't know what is wrong with it and it's just dragging and dragging out. I'm very discouraged about it and how it's affecting my health. I just want to be ok.
3. Friendships- This just seems to be an ongoing thing too with certian people in my life that i thought were my friends. Just i don't know what certain people's intentions are: they say they are my friends but are never there for me, talk about me and not to me- so i feel there are just rumours circulating about me within the group and no one ever even talks to me about the things they talk about concerning me. And that there is a lot of manipulation and things done to control others in the group by one person. So i stay away pretty much and feel alone and talked about. Anyways just pray that i could encounter some new relationships and people and that i could have good friendships with and that i would be able to exercise being a good friend to others that aren't going to try and twist that or use that against me.

Update: I started an open-ended, indefinite temp job last Monday, and that's taken some of the frustration off (life can be much brighter when you're not eating, breathing and sleeping resumes, job postings and hiring processes). The loneliness and "soundproof box" feeling? Well, not everything can turn around all at once. Time to crack open my Experiencing God devotional.

If you makes you feel any better. One summer a few years ago I sprained my ankle and it swelled up really bad. It took FOREVER to go down and heal. After a few months of not getting any better I was worried so I finally went to the doctor and he said the same thing that your doctor said. It was a torn tendon. He told me some exercises to do and eventually it got better. It took a loooooong time though. Like months and months. You've got my prayers girl.

It looks like I might have to start working in excess of 96 hours in order to be able to afford school. There are scholarships I'm applying for, but I'm not banking (no pun intended) on getting them. There are only 168 hours in a week, which means I'd be working 57% of my week, spending 33% of my time sleeping, and the other 10% with friends and family. When school started, I'd be spending 57% of my time at work, and 43% of my time at school.

It's frustrating when the only thing between you and what you need is a large S with a vertical bar through it.

I absolutely understand. I'll continue praying for you.

I have a friend who is very near and dear to my heart, but unfortunately they don't see the person in their mirror the way that God and I see them. Please pray that God would open their eyes to the true wonder that they are.

Thanks.

May possibly have a job opportunity opening up. It is for a special ed position which is no my certification, but they may be able to hire me anyway. I am suppose to track down the right people tomorrow. Please pray that God would just open the right doors and give me favor if this is where He wants me, otherwise, please pray that He will get me to the place He has for me according to His will. Thanks.
