Little 4 month old baby boy in Anchorage hospital after being shaken by father. Please pray for a miracle as doctors wait to see if he recovers while doing what they can to make him comfortable.

Pray for Bob Rigney, he's had cardiac arrest, in stable condition but not awake. He needs to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.

I’m 54 years old and have had cancer and a very turbulent life. Find myself extremely lonely with really no friends to speak of. I’m married and we are great together. My prayer request is that the Lord would place myself and my wife in small groups of like minded believers that we could pray for one another, trust one another and worship the Lord and study together. I know I’m not the only one when I say, it just feels dark and lonely in this world today and I just pray that we meet fellow believers to fellowship with, thank you.

I appreciate everyone’s prayers on my previous request, but we have been evicted from our apartment. We have until next Wednesday to move unless we come up with one month’s rent which will give us 30 more days. Plus, our beloved cat is very ill, possibly terminally. Please pray he will recover. I know we are not to be discouraged but I am feeling very overwhelmed. I feel very alone. Please pray that God would cause everything to work together for good. Thank you.

Hello, all. I would like to ask those reading this to please pray for mine and my family's protection. My husband and I live right on the border and my immediate family lives one state over, also close to the border. For my husband and I, our house is situated at a major port of entry, where we witness literally dozens of migrant busts, high-speed chases, and a helicopter inspecting our neighborhood several times a week looking for runaways. We hear sirens all the time; we see more crime and automobile accidents with stolen vehicles; we witness dozens of people we don't recognize stare at us when we're in public or ask for money in an entitled manner and laugh about it like it's a game. It feels like they are mocking us. For my family, they don't witness the invasion of our country so up-close, but they see the aftermath with drugged and dangerous people wandering the streets in their city, with a major uptick in homelessness and crime.

As many of you know, our border is basically wide-open with people on the terror watch list and others about whom we know very little entering our country. Several of us, my husband and I included, are Christians; however, a few of us, myself also included, are of Jewish ancestry (not religiously, but genetically). In short, we're walking targets where we live, which is especially reinforced by the way we are stared at in public (like fresh meat). I haven’t been sleeping at night because I’m nervous someone will end up in our backyard or try to break in, which has been happening in increasing numbers in both of our cities. I'm having more nightmares that someone is coming to kill my husband and me and, generally, I feel uneasy going out in public.

My family is also deeply unsettled by the increase in crime as well, so much so that I heard my mom express she didn't mind the persecution from being Christian; rather, she dreads being attacked by someone dangerous the way the Israeli people were attacked on October 7th because she doesn't want it to hurt. I watched her battle cancer for two years in a lot of pain, so hearing her say that broke my heart. For me, who experienced sexual assault when I was a teenager, my stomach is in knots because of what happened to the Israelis (the Israeli women in particular), so my past trauma is resurfacing. Thinking of my family, husband, or me being attacked the way those people were grips me with pain, and it feels like more of a reality each day with another migrant bust, siren, or whir of helicopter blades.

I understand Christian and Jewish people will be persecuted in increasing numbers leading up to the end, but given where we live, it feels very ominous and sinister. I just want my family, husband, and I to be safe, and we're always praying for the Lord's protection. We also try very hard to trust in the Lord so we aren't fearful and we keep our eyes cast upward, hoping to see the Lord return for His bride. Prayers for our safety would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you.
