Prayer Wall

Susan

Pleased to continue to pray for this 25-year-old that was stabbed by a Hamas terrorist in southern Israel. Ben actually visited the US last year and we met him. Thank you for your prayers

Update on Ben's condition He opens his eyes, he has a device in his throat for breathing, so he cannot speak. He reacts to the environment, and the left side of his body is working, the right side is still not functioning. It will take time to recover. If he can talk they don't know yet because of the device.

The good Shepard threw me into a den of wolves in sheep's clothing when I was a lamb, let them rip at me, and despite my cries, still hasn't come back for me. In other words, the good lord decided to put me as a baby into a family of narcissists. These people are without conscience, remorse, empathy, vicious. And, my own parents, who's womb and seed I came from destroyed everything good in my life, on purpose. Most parents want to uplift, they brought me down. Most parents want you to excel, them stifled me, most parents want you to end well, they gave away millions and left me without to struggle. An empty shell with no confidence, no ability to make friends, no wife, no money, nothing. I am 59 years old, sick health where I can barely get through a shift daily, working a min wage job, barely getting by, no savings, never able to retire, paycheck to paycheck, stagnation, loneliness, hopelessness. Life is a grind and misery. I've posted a prayer request online before to ask to be avenged. Jesus himself taught us how to pray giving the example of the widow who was being mistreated and kept going to a corrupt judge who neither cared for right or wrong or justice. But because she kept bugging him, he eventually gave in. When I posted my prayer to be avenged of my narcissist family and how they left me destitute and don't care I got response from people who are blessed enough not to know what a narcissist truly is and how evil they can be. They would respond with "I'll pray for them and they you find it in your heart to forgive". They don't understand that these people are unconvictible by the holy spirit. They don't repent, they are never wrong, and see forgiveness as weak and gullible and another opportunity to take advantage of the forgiver. They are machines in skin. Soul-less. Not sure why God creates them. Or why God let them at me. But praying to be avenged is not unbiblical. David prayed for such a thing. Mind you, getting fairness and justice and exposing them would be good for them in the end. If they died in their sins, and God did nothing but kept blessing their bad behavior and let them get away with it they would go to Hell. So, it's win win for God to avenge me. I ask he exposes them, shames them, vindicates me, and breaks them to make them repent and repay and compensate me for a lifetime of horror. Either way, I pray God helps me get to a happy place despite what he does or doesn't do to them. I'm so sad and after decades of no response or help from God I'm losing faith and hope.

I know the LORD is coming back soon & my worry is my children & grandchildren.

Hi there. My husband and I desperately need prayers for our job situations. My husband is stuck working in a job he doesn't like, and is unable to leave. He is treated poorly by colleagues, can't advance, and is taken advantage of. He dreads going in every day and is sufficiently exhausted to the point where he is getting stress headaches and isn't sleeping well at night. He has also applied for a lot of other jobs, but has been rejected by all of them. He is now forced to return to school to earn a certification in IT because his degree has now been effectively replaced with AI, which adds to the stress. Emotionally, he is agitated, frustrated, and weary.

For me, I like my job, but the commute is wearing me extremely thin. I commute 2+ hours each day round-trip, in addition to working 9.5-hour days (I work a 9/80 work schedule). This initially wasn't a problem, until the number of construction projects in our city skyrocketed with no end in sight, making traffic exponentially worse and making my commute nearly impossible. To avoid this, I am now forced to work an earlier shift, so I have to wake up at 4:15am every day to make it to work by 6am. I also don't sleep well at night, so I find myself nodding off on the drive to work (a drive with a lot of large animals running into the road) and taking catnaps at my desk before others come in. On weekends, I do nothing but sleep (often 10+ hours a night and several naps during the day) and lay on the couch, which makes my husband concerned.

Emotionally, I feel depressed, overwhelmed, and agitated. Physically, I am lightheaded almost all the time and I experience occasional dizziness and vertigo from sheer exhaustion. I am also getting sick a lot. I often feel too drained to do my part of the chores at home and cannot clean our house as often as I feel I need to, so my husband will sometimes have to take over when I am unable to do so, which stresses us both and exhausts him further. We don't have children, either, and we aren't sure if we will be able to because of how severely our jobs are pounding us into the ground.

My husband desperately wants another job and I desperately want to work from home, at least once a week. We're both believers and are praying extensively for the Lord's guidance, help, and strength. But, we're both running on empty all the time, and I'm not sure how much longer we can deal with this. We need relief.
