As we build this community prayer platform, with help from the #PrayerWarriors team, we ask the Lord to listen to our petitions with full confidence they not only are heard but acted upon by God according to His holy will. These requests are on my prayer list and I hope you consider putting them on yours as you place your petitions before the Lord Sunday.

As we approach the throne room, let’s remember to respond with faith and not fear, knowing the promises of God and His mighty hand will hold us through any situation! Sometimes, all it takes is just one prayer to change everything …

Lord, we come to you asking for Your will on Your people. Dave’s brain cancer has returned and he is now hospitalized with seizures. They are trying to figure out if its from the cancer or chemo.

After two months of hospital stays and questions, John Francis was diagnosed with a Grade 3 Glioma tumor on his brain stem. It’s the aggressive and fast-growing kind.

Will also needs your prayers to save his life from his brain tumor.

Tabitha, 36, had a stroke, has a blood infection, and is in need of heart surgery. Doctors are giving her a slim chance.

Brian asks for prayers. Things aren’t going well. Please continue to keep his immediate family in your thoughts.

Matt is also asking for prayers for his family. God knows their needs.

Texan reaches out with a cry for help.He’s going stir-crazy. He wants to clean, mow, laundry, sweep, clean bathroom,shower, but permanent pain from head to toe has made him very volatile and angry.

Ruth fell the other day and my neck and back are fighting over which hurts the worst. She is  considering going back to the hospital.

Deborah shared her husband of 18 years committed suicide, leaving her financially broke and spirituality drained. She has lost her home and had a nervous breakdown.She is pleading for prayers.

Andrea is asking for prayers as she prepares for Polycystic Kidney Disease testing.

Jordan is asking for prayers for his dad who hasn’t slept for five nights. His grandmother (mom’s mom) keeps losing tons of weight and hasn’t been able to eat or sleep. Both are devastated from losing my mom.

Jasmen fell up the stairs and messed up her alignment. She’s in crazy pain.

We need prayers for Joe, a digital minister who has been sent horrific, graphic threats while someone tries to hack into his account.

Andrew continues with his pancreatic cancer battle, and countless others are struggling financially and medically.

We come to You, Lord, because prayer is the least yet the greatest thing we can do for each other. When two or more are gathered in Your name, we confidently know You are with us. What better company can we have? You reign and we trust You! We may be broken and battered but know You heal and quiet the soul. You are the source for all that happens in our lives. We thank You for the progress being made. We thank You for the many blessings we have received this week — some we unfortunately didn’t notice. Nonetheless, those blessings are ever-present in our lives. We thank You for healing. We thank You for slowing us down. We thank You for providing us our daily needs — no more and no less. We thank You for being with us, listening to us, walking with us on this journey. We thank You for the support of our family and friends … for seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary — sunrises, sunsets, flowers, kids laughing, adventures, good news amid the bad news. We also know we can come to You with our concerns and they will be heard. Through Christ all things are possible. We lift up those family members and friends who are battling various physical, emotional, financial, career or spiritual issues and ask not for Your guidance and healing (although that would be welcomed) but to keep reminding us we are not alone in our battles. Specifically we lift up Dave, John Francis, Will, Tabitha, Brian, Matt, Texan, Ruth, Deborah, Andrea, Jordan, Jasmen, Joe and Andrew. We pray for the families of all those You have called home. We grieve … You celebrate. We pray for obedience to Your Will so Your “Son” Light shines through us through the power of the Spirit. And we come to You through the confidence of the words taught by Your Son Jesus.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Keep your joys and concerns coming. They have been and will be included during my prayer time and I trust they will be on your lips as well as you approach the altar. All it takes is a couple of keystrokes under the “Contact Me” button on the top bar {or to the right if you’re not a follower yet}. I hope it becomes your best friend as you navigate around the site so we can all be viable prayer warriors. You can also comment or reach me at wisdomfromafather@gmail.com.

THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Some people create their own storms and then get mad when it begins to rain!
