Prayer Wall

Mark Selph

I need direction in my new life as a widower. I lost my dear wife in November of 2024 after her 5-1/2 yr struggle with Alzheimer's. I have spent these last few years loving and caring for my wife 24/7. I cared for her at home until she went to be with Jesus. Now I have nobody to love and care for. We were married just over 45 years and have 3 daughters that miss their sweet mother.

It's very difficult for me to think of myself as being single for the rest of my life. I turn 66 in a couple days. I love the Lord and know that He has saved me from my sin by His sacrifice on the cross. I long to be with Him someday! I am praying for direction as I live by faith in Christ my Savior.

Thank you brother's and sister's for your prayers on my behalf.

Sincerely,

Mark

Please pray for Beth who has a food addiction and struggles with abstaining from sugar. She also struggles with her prayer and devotion time which she believes is affecting her ability to abstain from the bad foods. Thank you for your prayers on her behalf.

MegAnne

I am 72 years old. I’ve been a widow for 15 years.

It was crushing! He was my soul-mate, and my earthly protector.

I was a stay at home wife and mother who homeschooled our children.

I am working part time, about every other day right now. Sometimes I don’t have any work for weeks, cleaning air BnB’s.

It is very physically demanding work at my age.

I thank Holy Father for the provision of this work, as I only have limited social security along with this side work to live on.

I should be living on the streets right now - but for God!

I was gifted by God to write, and I am an excellent artist. I have used my gifts over the years for my family and my own personal release. However, I never tried to do anything with these gifts in the professional arena.

I was so zoned in on raising my family and spending every spare moment with my precious husband, that I never thought about the future, or that God might take him home before me.

I always told my husband that he must die after me.

But God said, “No MegAnne, I must take your Brian home now. I love you and you must grow with me as your husband.”

Indeed I have grown over these 15 years! Although I received Jesus back in 1980.

I never thought ahead when my spouse was alive. I just thought one day we would die together.

I should have pursued my writing and art to make a financial future for myself should something happen.

When my spouse died I lost our home and our business in just one year of his passing during the horrible recession the U.S. went through.

Through the years I sold off things to stay afloat.

I truly don’t know how I have made it these fifteen years since my husband’s passing!

It is really a miracle!

I always tell God that He needs to pinch me! He is truly the miracle maker!

My husband did not have life insurance either.

I have been SO blessed, as I was able to move into a mobile home we had purchased for my little mother in law years prior to my husband’s death. She had moved to heaven also.

I live in that mobile home today. It has been a secure shelter over my life, and I am so humbled that Abba Father knew far ahead just what I was going to need!

He surely is still providing!

As I am aging here, it is becoming more difficult for me to clean these air BnB’s.

I have arthritis in my hands and back that often pains me from having to overwork physically.

The stairs are becoming harder, the grueling constant work of scrubbing showers and toilets, along with having to carry heavy vacuums up and down stairs is taking its toll on my physical body as my youth has flown behind me through the sin we have inherited.

Washing and folding all of the laundry has likewise become increasingly difficult, as I have a partially frozen shoulder and cannot lift that arm up high anymore to stretch the sheets out for folding.

Nonetheless, I do my work as onto the Lord, my Comforter and Protecter - the God of my salvation and my eternal praise!

Brothers and sisters - please pray for me!

My hearts desire is to write and illustrate children’s books.

I have four books in mind. I am nearly finished with my first book.

I need heavy prayers that God might honor this; that it might be worthy for children’s attention and interest, along with providing income for me so that I can quit this taxing work.

I need prayer for Father to keep the enemy away from stealing any free time I get to write, by things going wrong that I have to repair myself not being able to afford someone to do it for me. I repaired my washing machine, my deck, some siding issues on my house, climb up on my roof with a blower to clear pine needles, and seriously the list goes on day after day. I have to do the man’s job along with being an old woman.

That’s all fine as long as I am physically able.

I was in the Line fire many of you might have heard of here in Californa. I was taking things to my car to evacuate back in September of 24; was carrying a heavy tote to my car, and well….you guessed it.

I fell down my steps and severely sprained my ankle, which kept me from walking or working for three months.

Praise God though, as at least I can walk now!

I need time desperately!

I need time for my imagination to flow in order to write my books!

I need eyes and fingers working well so that I can do the illustrations for the books.

I need finances desperately just to survive.

My roof needs replacing on my mobile home.

I never give up, and I’m fighting the good fight.

I just need to survive while I’m here on earth.

I actually NEED to write these books, as they call to me and uplift me when I am using the gifts that God birthed me with.

Please, please pray for me, that Abba Father might bless this and help me to be financially independent!

Please pray for the time without stress to work on my books!

I don’t want to be forced to leave my home because I cannot afford the property taxes or the homeowner’s insurance!

I don’t want to have to say goodbye yet - to the mountains I live in with the piney woods around me.

I don’t want to have to leave this place that I love where the little squirrels greet me on my deck railing, or the blue jays with their bright blue crests heaving out when they squawk at the squirrels for taking their space at the feeder.

Please pray for me that God might give me just a little time of peace in this life before I die. We all know how very difficult this life is! There are so many who are suffering so, that I almost feel as though I should not be asking for these prayers.

Nonetheless, my dear sister in Christ urged me to post for prayer.

So, here I am…

It is the great desire of my heart to see if I could ever have been - or might be successful in making a living doing the sweet gifts that God gave to me!

The prayers of the righteous availeth much!

Please pray for Israel and the United States of America!
