Prayer Wall

Marie

I would like to ask those reading this to please pray for my in-laws. My husband is a believer like me and we hold biblical beliefs, but his family struggles a lot with destructive patterns and noncommittal/flaky views regarding the truth of the Bible.

Some believe in deceptive doctrines they think are Christian (such as replacement theology and LGBTQ affirmation). Some are noncommittal in their relationship with the Lord; thus, they identify as "somewhat-religious" and sort of just float around aimlessly, pursuing worldly interests and otherwise living a very hollow life. Some think they are saved because they were simply raised in the church and take part in certain traditions. Others allow destructive lifestyle choices to persist in their homes, particularly homes with impressionable young children (all between the ages of 4 and 14) who have already begun to mimic those choices and/or forge destructive paths of their own. Some of those children are supposedly raised in a Christian home, yet can't recall how many days it took God to create the earth (even though they can recall the lyrics to highly explicit pop songs with no trouble).

My husband and I love our family dearly and pray for them constantly. We understand no human is perfect and everyone sins, but it is nonetheless disturbing to see these things happen. We try to humbly serve them constantly and provide a Godly example in any way we can, especially for the kiddos. But it seems no matter how frequently we either a) pray for them or b) have Godly conversations with them with promising outcomes, the same destructive patterns reemerge or completely new destructive choices pop up, and then it's right back to square one like nothing ever happened. It is exactly like the parable of the sower whose seed fell on the shallow soil, or the proverb about the dog returning to its vomit.

It is very frustrating, and my husband and I seem to be the only ones who recognize there are very significant issues here with dangerous consequences coming to fruition in the form of divorce, mental illness, substance use, extramarital sexual relationships, drunkenness, LGBTQ-ism, and the like with young children in the front-row seat watching it happen and taking notes. To add insult to injury, these consequences are also paraded as normal and even good. Meanwhile, the Bibles, devotionals, and other biblical books we thoroughly researched and bought them as gifts sit there collecting dust.

We will continue to pray and will continue to do the Lord's work in our family, but I would be lying if I said my husband and I weren't brokenhearted and very frustrated from all this, especially because there are kids involved. Prayers for our family (and for us) would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Please pray for my son, Stephen, who has left the faith that he would return to the Lord and find peace and healing for his depression.

Also, a please pray for my daughter, Marisa and her husband Johnny for healing in their marriage. That both would be willing to submit to God’s restoration process.

I am going paralyzed on my left side. No doctor knows why. I have no support and my husband doesn’t believe me. It won’t be long before I can’t move. Please pray for healing.

Thanks in advance for all prayer support !

Prayer for a friend, Kimberly, she is a single mother living with her 2 aged parents.

Her mother sometime helps in looking after her kid.

Personally, I feel there was a lot of spiritual warfare happening to her and her family.

1. Always physically sick, seem to be non-stop getting sick, one sickness after another

Always incur medical bill and unable to afford to see doctor

Currently lost of voice, even couging ever now and then. Coughed blood about 1 week ago. Recently injured on left shin and lost a lot of blood, she mentioned she was assaulted.

Going for medical scan for her voice will cost a lot and she could not afford

Pray for God to touch and heal her completely of all illness

May God strengthen her and build up her body immunity.

2. Hard to find a suitable job. Even if found a job, seem very fast within about a month into the job, some thing will happen and she was sacked. There was a time, her supervisor say her performance is not good enough. Another time, in another company pay her much less than she should get, and she was not get back the required compensation from the company

Also, some kind of accident/event seem to occur in relation to the job and need medical attention. The medical bill cost more than what she earns for the job. It seem to be better that she don't work, because the medical bill cost more than what she earned.

So far all the company she work with does not pay the medical bill

3. I believe her home is spiritually dirty. Please pray for peace in the family. Her father always seem to have issue with her.

Her father is a very stubborn man, plenty of pride, even physically aggressive. He himself needed help, but not humble enough to ask for help as he wants 'face'. Pray that God will humble him.

A number of time he even use physical force on Kimberly, eg push her, throw things to hit her etc when Kimberly show concern or try to help him

He is always scolding Kimberly

Pray God will send His holy angels to help her and the blood of Jesus cover her(and her family)

4. She related she have noticed that some things seem to move in the house...I think there is some dirty spirit/s in the house. Pray for God to intervence. The house is not her house, it belong to he father and she got no right to 'do this or that' in the house

Eg. The fridge is spoilt and was telling her to get it from someone who are willing to give the fridge for free, but the father refused. Then, she or her father also got no money to repair the fridge

If she leave the house, she don't have a refuge for herself or for her child

5. Have a autistic child about 6 year old that requires a lot of her attention.

6. Will be going for court case in Jan 2024. Pray for success and will win the case against her ex-husband regarding alimony/maintenance. The child requires more attention than a normal kid and will have to pay for extra pair of hand to take care of the kid. The ex-husband seem to be withholding even minimum payment to her on purpose currently. The minimum payment is not even enough to upkeep the expense of the fast growing kid

7. She is very tired as got to take care of the child and still need to work to get money just to survive. In fact, she is barely surviving every month, no money for food and other essentials every month

8. She always feeling stress and very depressed and even tried committing suicide a number of time

9. Pray God will provide her financially
