Warning: I may get uber spiritual right now. Just bear with me.
I don’t like when people get super mystical about prayer. I never have. I can vividly remember a lady from church acting like she was telling ghost stories when she would recount prayers being answered, complete with hushed tones and wide eyes. As a child I would look at her and wonder, Do you have to be crazy to have God answer your prayers? If so, my prayers are never going to get answered.
Years later, I can appreciate her zeal. She was in awe of a God who really does answer the prayers of His children; albeit, it was a bit spooky.
Spooky Prayer Lady would lay hands on people and pray that the God of All would sovereignly answer in mighty ways. Her bangles would clink as they waved on her wrist, her hand planted firmly on the head of whoever she was praying for. Though she slightly scared me, I was intrigued by her faith. When she prayed, she would talk to God like it was urgent. Like she was a confident child asking her father, not if but when for things that seemed impossible. Like she was praying to someone who really heard.
Years later, I yearn for her faith. Her zeal. Her belief.
I don’t want to tell ghost stories, but I’m speaking in hushed tones and wide eyes. Why? Because the God of All sovereignly answers the prayers of children who believe not if, but when.
Prayer is most impactful when we celebrate how He answers us. I realized last week that I have no problem asking my online friends to pray for me, but never followup with how God answered our prayers. I ashamedly withhold the work of God by not letting you know how great our God truly is.
A couple weeks ago I spoke at my church and was scared stupid. I told you all that I was the Cholula lady of preaching and in true form, the heat was brought! I spoke about 100 miles per hour (the nerves got the best of me), but the truth was shared unabashedly! At the end of our time together, I felt prompted to pray over people in the room. Not as an individual, but as a corporate body of believers. We prayed for those who were sick, those who were in relational poverty, those who needed miracles, and those who needed much more. We laid hands on those in need and believed in faith that God would answer. And he did.
The next day I received an email from a guy who said he didn’t want to stand up for prayer. He had been unemployed for over seven months and applied for over 100 jobs. His friends urged him to stand and he begrudgingly did. He confessed that in his bitterness, he felt forgotten by God. The next day he was called for an interview and was hired for a job that paid him more than he asked for. Prayers: ANSWERED.
While in Greece a couple weeks ago for work, I asked my cyber friends to pray for a court case regarding two of the girls in our A21 shelter who were testifying in court against their traffickers. What happened next shocked us all! We found out that not one, not two, not three but FIVE traffickers were convicted in a landmark conviction, serving the maximum penalty and individually fined over 12,000 euros each. Prayers: ANSWERED.
I left Greece and flew to Florida to speak at FUSION in Orlando. The auditorium was filled with over 3,000 youth, rockin’ out and worshipping God. It’s been a while since I was surrounded by so many teens [and the smell of pubescence], but I knew God was going to show up. I snuck behind the stage and got on my knees. I sensed that God was going to do something massive and I wanted to make sure this was covered in prayer.
FUSION 2012
On my face I prayed like the Spooky Prayer Lady. Like was it was urgent. Like a confident child asking her father, not if but when for things that seemed impossible. Like I was praying to someone who really heard.
As the band approached the stage for altar call and commitment to change, students flooded the front of the auditorium. Hundreds came forward, broken, humbled, in need. We prayed for the impossible and God showed up miraculously. We were flooded with students who wanted prayer, life change, and salvation.
I shared about freedom and how God was using The A21 Campaign to free those in bondage, but paralleled that to how many are in bondage to sin. I knew freedom was what the room needed, but didn’t know how it was going to pan out. But God did.
Later that night over dinner the organizer for the event leaned over the table and read the following text to us from a youth pastor traveling home:
Just had one of our 19 year-old girls share how she is in a prostitution escort service and God told her she is beautiful and weeping she shared how she is not going back. She wants to be free. Wow!!!! The entire bus is weeping and God is wrecking us.
Friends, God answers prayers. God answers YOUR prayers. For those who have prayed for me, I’m indebted to you. In a season of thankfulness, I’m thankful for the community of people who are a journey with me… together… to build God’s kingdom. Prayers: ANSWERED.
To practice what we preach, I’m opening up the blog for prayer requests. Let’s pray for one another and just watch as God answers our prayers! But don’t worry, I won’t be like the Spooky Prayer Lady. Ok, maybe just a little bit 😉
Loved this post! Just last night something was brought to my attention that desperatley needs prayer, so I will pray for “when” and not “if” 🙂
Whatever your request it, I am making a post-it note to write your name on it and pray for you too 🙂 XOXO
Thank you soooo much! You’re so sweet.
Bianca,
I know you know him. You’ve talked to him and know his name. Please ALL OF YOU, pray for my boy… Pray that he stops running from God, that he stops being angry at God and the world.. Pray for his heart to return to our Lord.
His name is Gabriel. :'(
Norma, all those years in church and youth group won’t be in vain. Let’s pray him back to Jesus! Don’t grow weary…
Bianca,
Thank you for listening to my heart and not my words. I am growing weary.. Thank you for the encouragement.
Praying for you and Gabriel, Norma
I have been going through months of God allowing m to be tested in my faith and of being spiritually attacked… I just need breakthrough. Healing for past wounds. Financial provision. Advancement in/towards God’s purpose for me, growth for my business. Help! Lol. Thank you.
Oh child, breakthrough is coming! Check out Marcie’s praise report. She prayed over 20 years and BAM! Breakthrough. {Let’s hope it doesn’t take that long, but no matter what, keep praying. I’m with you!}
Oh my. I cannot TELL you how blessed I was to stumble upon this post. Prayer is so near and dear to my heart. Through prayer, God restored my marriage and taught me how to be married, His way. Through prayer, God chased down my prodigal daughter and now she is the one chasing Him. God answers prayer!
My prayer request: My husband has been unemployed for over 3 years. Hoping to get full time employment at the not-for-profit he volunteers at ministering to the homeless. And, I am attempting to write a book about marriage restoration, but having a tough time breaking through writer’s block! I would love prayer for these two issues. Thank you!
Karla, just added you and your hubby to my prayer post-it note 😉 Keep me posted! Can’t wait to hear the good news!!!
Hi Bianca,
First of all, thanks for this post. I sometimes feel, that I have to be as “spooky” as the spooky lady, in order to get God to hear me. Like I am missing something extra in my prayer, or what is the set of rules. Sometimes I just want to speak. I recently lost my job at a very crucial time (bills due) and although I need and want to work, I would love if it would be doing something in the area that I love (photography). When I lost my job, I saw it as an opportunity to pursue exactly that. However, I am afraid because I don’t have enough resources to do so. not sure what to do. I need that urgent prayer.
Mirian, if you’re sensing this as an open door from God, don’t fear. I would also encourage you to connect with prominent photographers and learn from them. I would suggest my sister, JasmineStar. She can be found at http://www.JasmineStarBlog.com and she has tons of great articles and videos regarding the business. XO
It was prayer off and on for many years that God would answer regarding some challenges in our marriage. 28 years later–BAM, God answered!
I’m still tripping how just-like-that, He answered.
Prayer with assurance.
Thank you for sharing your recently answered prayers, B. 🙂
WOW!!!!!! This is wonderful news. The prayers of a righteous (wo)man avail much, girlfriend! Love you.
Love you and praying for you, too, mi linda hermanita en la fe. 🙂
Wow! This post is an answer to my hearts prayer for the past 2 days.
I am a mother to a set of almost 5 month old twins and I work a full time job but my husband and I desire for me to be able to come off the job and work full time at home in my own photography business and help him with his business all while being able to be home with the babies.
I believe that God does impossible things, so our prayer to to be able to do this and not loose income but to increase that we may have everything we need and be able to be a blessing to our friends, family, and community. Praying for an increase of clients and opportunities. 🙂
In the name of Jesus, Carmaleta!
Sidebar: As one from a set of twins, you’re a great mom if you desire to stay at home with them! XO
Praying that God will make many of our young people mighty men and women of prayer and deep faith. It’s that simple AND that powerful.
I think the volatile times we’re in require it.
It’s been a while since I commented but I’m always around ( a little stalker-ish haha) but today’s post just brought me to tears, just as I’m writing I don’t understand but I’m crying. I guess everytime I know about answered prayer I’m thankful for the God we have.
I want a faith like that, bold and firm and not ask if but when. Would you pray for wisdom and confidence? I need wisdom to understand and make a decision and confidence to actually make it.
Thanks B! <3
Thats a great request! I’m joining you 🙂
Oh girl, this is AMAZING! Love it B! I definitely need prayer in regards to value, self worth (we talked a bit about this at the PURE conference 😉 and definitely guidance and discernment ( school wise, career wise, and financially!)
I totally get spooky lady prayer status too, but you know what, THAT’S how my Jesus roles! He would do the same, it’s a fact! 😉
Love you so much Bianca!
xxo
Anneliese
I will also pray that the weird guys who hit on you with the pick up line, “Did we got to preschool together?” get a life! 😉
But in all seriousness, yes, I will pray! XO
Prayer for employment for my husband, thanks!
You got it, Mary! Let us know how God answers your prayer.
Hi, could you pray for me… that i would have more faith in God and experience freedom from worry and uncertainty! Thank you 🙂
Jas, go read Matthew 6:34 and memorize it. Child, hide God’s word in your heart and repeat it over and over and over and over.
Then memorize Psalm 46:1. Then memorize this: Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Deut 31:6
Praying for you!
Thank you so much for this post! I have been feeling weary and not expectant in my prayers and I need to remember that God hears and is not late on any of our requests. I am praying for 2 of my daughters, Kate and Lyndie, who are running from God that they will hear his voice and hunger for the truth. That they will both return to Him. I’ve been just doing my best to love them where they are at unconditionally and leave the rest up to God.
This is tough! I’m praying for you and with you. Hang on to these words:
Jer 32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything to hard for Me?”
Wow! Needed this today. A couple weeks back you shared the “wedding list” you had that eventually everything on the list was answered. Because of that blog, I created a “family blessing” list. My entire family has gone through a ton of things this past year. So I decided to make a list of prayers for my family. There are about 20 things on the list that I am praying for in faith. Would you please pray for my that God would bless my family exceedingly abundantly above all else we could ask or think? Thank you for being willing to pray for us!
I’m honored to! Hold on to this truth: Phil 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
My son Ulises will be a freshman in High school next year, and I’m not looking forward to it. He has a BIG heart for Jesus, for others, he’s gentle and kind but he’s naive and has NO street knowledge…. I’m afraid for him, afraid that people will take advantage of him, and hurt him, and shred his heart to pieces, I beg you to say a prayer for this lad of mine…..
Thank you
Veronica – I can only imagine how scary that must be for you. With his heart in Jesus’ hands he will be safe. Praying that Ulises keeps his light burning so bright for Jesus that others can’t help but be changed by him!
Yes, Suzanne! What a great word to Veronica.
Jer 32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything to hard for Me?”
Look at these amazing requests, B! Such a good thing you are doing here and a wonderful community being brought together.
Praying along with all of you (although, I’m not going to make a pretty post-it wall like scary-lady-Olthoff is doing)
Please pray for the salvation of my husband Mike.
Mike is God’s child. We will pray he recognizes it! 2Pet 1:3 “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him…”
Just this morning as a prayed- feeling weary and discouraged I ask the Lord to encourage me and lift me out of the pit. I questioned how much longer I must wait for my prayer to be answered and I know He wanted me to read this post today… My husband has been struggling with his faith for almost a year and everyday I pray and trust God will restore. But there are days when I feel impatient and discouraged…today was one of them and I thank you for your words and sharing your faith which has encouraged me many times. I heard God speak to me just a moment ago , I know He does answer prayers.
I have two requests and I will be bold in it. I have been having a longing for marriage like never before. But in a way where it seems so peaceful and just anticipating His timing. Make sense? So ill be bold in that prayer 🙂
Secondly. my friend went on a nursing school interview and has been getting rejections for PA applications, I’m beliving the Lord will grant her the desires of her heart with being a nurse.
Thanks Bianca. You inspire me.
I’m right there with you in your first prayer request, Dio. I am praying for you! Matthew 6:33, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” God knows your heart and is using this time to prepare you for your husband!
I love you. And, yes, God always answers our prayers. Including those for a Toyota Previa family van in 1991. Booyah.
You are so awesome Bianca! Thank you for this post! XO!
To God Be the Glory! As I read your entry, tears rolled down my face because God has put you and your parents in my heart to not just pray for ya’ll, but to intercede for God’s anointing and provision over your lives. I love how God works in mysterious ways. Although we don’t know each other on a personal level, God has placed a burden in my heart to pray for the work that is being done through you and your family. Thank you for sharing. It encourages me and it blesses me to know that I am a part of a community of people who lift you up in prayer.
Prayer request: for my dad to really give his life to Jesus. For the Lord to help him and my mom to restore their marriage (they have been separated for a year after 26 married). I pray they can follow scripture regarding their marriage.
Powerful message, Bianca! Thank you for sharing!
Please pray for me to be more disciplined and to reach my fitness goals within 1 or 2 years (or sooner). I don’t crave sugar as much as I used to but I still have days when it feels like I MUST HAVE SUGAR if you know what I mean but I definitely am doing a better job in eating healthy! 🙂
Pray that I obey God especially in this fitness desire area of my life and that I make the necessary lifestyle changes and stick with it for the rest of my life! And may as I reach my fitness goals inspire others in their journey.
I appreciate your prayers!
Please pray that Jesus would bless Kevin with the best job ever and that Kevin would give Jesus the glory and praise.
Thank you.
I feel very passionate about someone. But we keep going back and forth about whether we will be together (and be married someday). I’ve tried to close the door but I keep opening it back up. I need prayer about whether this love and passion is really love from God or just some sort of passion of myself that I need to be free of. If any of you could pray for me I would so appreciate it!
A few months ago I went through a break up with the one I loved and had discussed marriage with. Heart broken. Dreams shattered. Bought into the lie that “scraps are better than nothing” as far as relationships go. Feeling unworthy of love. Invisible. Unsettled in life. Angry. Bitter. Hurt. Lonely.
Ashley, my heart breaks reading this – I know how much pain you must be in right now and I know how unfair it must seem. Words will not heal, promises of time won’t help but I feel the need to tell you that God knows. He is right there with you in this heart break and there is a reason. Psalm 139 tells us that He knew this day before you were even born – He doesn’t take pleasure in bringing you through this place, but there will be glory.
YOU ARE WORTHY, YOU ARE LOVED. Please, above all else, know that. He is with you, He loves you and He delights in you (zephaniah 3:17 – check out the commentary http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/Matthew-Henry/Zeph/Promises-Future-Favour). This situation will be redeemed and better is to come. He is good. He is love and you are His child.
Praying for your heart, Ashely.
Seeing this warms my heart! I love how we can come together as a community to cover each other in prayer!!! Thanks Suzanne 🙂
Haha! This is soo awesome! I read this right after a friend texted me about her situation improving after I had prayed for her marriage.
Please pray for my brother and sister that they would come rushing back to The Lord, and serve Him with everything they have.
Absolutely, Brenda! Thanks for trusting me with their story.
Hey Bianca
So thankful for answered prayer. It was a priviledge to pray for and with you
I just prayed this past Sat. that I wouldn`t fight Jesus anymore. That I want to do relationship with Him and that I would be willing to accept change: His kind of changes.
I`d appreciate a prayer to help me stick to my promise to not be a “hermitess” anymore!!!!!!!!
Thanks
C
You got it! Rom 8:32 “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall he not with Him also freely give us all things?”
Thank you for praying…..
Love your blog and So excited about this post! I love the praying “not if but when”. We pray to a God who DOES hear us and our prayers should be fervent. Can I get an AMEN???!!!! 😉
I’m gonna be bold here and ask you to help me pray for a husband. I’m in full time ministry and so desire to have a partner in life and especially ministry. Sometimes its easy to believe that God is withholding something good from me, even though I know that is a lie from the devil….Anyhow, if you can add that to your prayer list, that would be awesome.
Also, so bummed that you are in Chicago (my home)@ City Church (saw it on Christine Caine’s FB)
and I won’t be able to go and meet you! 🙂 But, I’ll be at a prayer meeting at my church, praying that God move in that meeting at City Church.
God Bless you girl!
Prayer Request – my Aunt has battled alcoholism for over 20 years and its finally taken a toll on her body. She is in critical condition. Please pray for her complete healing physically, mentally, emotionally; her deliverance from alcoholism and her salvation. Thank you!!!
Not only praying for your aunt, but you too! Heb 13:5 “For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Wonderful, informative and moving post. Brilliant! I love you.
Hi Bianca,
I can’t tell you what a blessing it is to have stumbled across your blog… This one in particular. His timing never ceases to amaze me. I heard you speak once and I fell in love with you right away… Your passion and your heart… You got spunk girl and its contagious. I’m married to a PK who is also in the ministry as well. We serve in many different areas of the ministry.. praying that same spooky prayer for others. 🙂 My prayer request: my husband has struggled for years with chronic pain and medication issues because of it. He needs freedom in a big way.. Could you please pray.
I totally remember you, “Hopeful”! And yes, I’m praying. Here are some words to cling to:
1Pet 2:24 (Jesus) bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed.
Isa 53:5 He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
Thank you for this. So encouraging.
Please pray for my mom. She desperately needs a job. Working does wonders for the soul – it makes people feel useful and like they contribute to a greater cause, so being without one can be so devastating emotionally, spiritually and even physically.
I also ask for prayers for my husband and me – to be good spouses to each other and good parents to our daughters, and to make wise financial decisions with what we’ve been given.
Thanks again!
Sweet Cassie, I’m believing in prayer with you! 2Cor 9:10 “…may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food,
supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the
fruits of your righteousness, …”
May we all have eyes see to see our Prayers: ANSWERED
Amen!
In an incredible series of events, whispers, dreams and visions, today I have been led to you, Bianca, and this opportunity to ask for prayers. I just realized that the Lord has been calling, for several years, my husband and me to adopt a rescued child. We are ready to surrender to His will but have no idea where to start. May I ask you to join us in our prayers for guidance and faith to sustain us through the journey that lies ahead?
Thank you so much. God be with you always.
What a beautiful desire, “C”! I’m praying with you! Ps 37:5 “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.”
Yeah!!!! Go God(as I raise my hands in a touchdown position)!
Signed…the spooky prayer lady:)
Guuuuurrrrllll, I LOVE the way you pray. The authority is contagious!
Can I ask for prayer for the salvation of my family and my relationship with them. Just feeling like I don’t “fit in” with them or that there is a disconnect and barrier between us. And also prayer for spiritually sensitive ears and even eyes. I know that God is constantly speaking and moving but I find it hard to hear an see Him moving.
But THANK YOU for this post. Absolutely beautiful and so needed. 🙂
You’re asking for beautiful things and I’m standing in prayer with you! 2Pet 1:3 “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him…”
This is such a beautiful testimony! <3 I am with you 100%. Please pray for me. That I would be still enough to "hear" God and His direction and leading in my starting a non profit organization that will help those who suffer from chronic/persistent Lyme Disease and it's co-infections. This is a very politicized area that is beginning to get more coverage and is in desperate need of more voices, research, and effective diagnosing and long term treatment. Many doctors who know how to diagnose and treat it long term stay "under the radar" with it so that they won't lose their license to practice medicine. It is the disease of this century! Thank you for your amazing testimony and I am so thankful I came across your link!!! :))))
Grateful for you, Julia! Ps 37:5 “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.”
Dear Bianca
I would love if you prayed for me.Perhaps God listens to you as he has stopped listening to me I think.
I am like the guy that has applied more than 150 jobs and have not been given the chance to attend one single interview.I have been unemployed by more than a year, my self-confidence is crushed,am disappointed,angry,bitter,depressed and my finances are really poor and feel crappy and miserable.
Pray I’ll have peace of mind as well as think I am going insane! Hope Jesus listens to you.
Love you Bianca and so thankful to God that there are down to earth Christians like you in this messed world.
Warm hugs
Herta
You got it! Phil 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
I have a prayer request I haven’t told anyone. The last several months have been the most difficult financial struggles of my life. For the first time in my life I’ve been tithing “in faith” meaning continuing to pay my tithes first in spite of the fact that I still have bills looming over my head. I’m 25 single and have never been in debt up to this point in my life. I’m honestly really perplexed by the situation because I’m not spending irresponsibly and truly only spending money on necessities. Knowing myself the changes that have recently taken place in my life i actually should have more money coming in. I shouldn’t be in such a bad financial situation. I feel like I just cannot catch up. I don’t use this lightly because I’m not one to blame the devil for every little thing but I truly feel like my finances are being attacked.
Will you pray that God would give me wisdom with my finances and grace to keep trusting Him. I’m standing on Matt 6:25-33 because trusting God for my next meal somedays is literally all I’ve got to stand on.
Thank you for standing with me. 🙂
Natalie
Girlfriend, I’m PRAYING with you. Adding your name to the prayer list now!
Wow. Look at all these, yo. Where would I start. I’m a single mom of 4 kids. 3 adopted. 1 with MAJOR emotional issues that causes discord in our home every day all day. I have a 16 year old boy that was caught smoking pot and broke my heart. The pot isn’t the big issue, it’s an indicator of something bigger. A break in relationship somewhere. And he’s failing out of school…..
And I love a man who loves me but we can’t be together for reasons I can’t go into on such a public forum. He’s my very best friend. It’s complicated.
Finances are always a challenge. I know I’m called to be a stay-at-home mom due to the emotional issues my kids have. It’s more than emotional, it’s deeper. Also neurological. My kids are the biggest prayer need. The rest fade away, but the hearts of my kids are eternal. I pray they choose healing through Jesus.
Oh Bianca! I’m so overwhelmed and so thankful. I put it in a prayer request on your blog and the Lord answered because now my bestie got into graduate school. 2 days after writing my prayer request in!! WOW!! Im so speechless. Thanks for your prayers and being an inspiration and sharing how the Lord can move. Not if, but WHEN 🙂
Prayerfully the other request that is “pending” (LOL) will come around one of these days.
Blessings B!
I’ve spent hundreds of hours praying, weeks on fasting, and God didn’t answear any of my prayers. Seems like the more i rely on his promises, the more i only get disappointed.
Bianca I have been encouraged through countless blogs you have posted but this one has really got me! Many times I have done the very same thing you speak of when it comes to not sharing answered prayers. Here’s my chance to ask for prayer and to share when it’s answered…not if BUT WHEN!
I’m requesting prayer for my boyfriend and soon to be husband to find a job. He works in the ministry unpaid and is having a difficult time finding a job to work with his church hours.
Thank you for encouraging me and many women who read your blog!
Please pray for my “prayer life.” It’s non-existent at this point. I feel like I don’t know how to pray, what to pray for, who to pray for. When I try, I feel like I’m doing it all wrong and the next thing I know, my mind has wandered off into my “to do” list. This has been going on much too long, and it really scares me. I seem to find to do everything except pray. I don’t know why!!
Its funny, I haven’t read your blog in a while. I read this post first and then went back and read the one about purity.
Well, along with being a member of the V-train at 28 I can also relate to ingesting baskets of carbohydrates.
Just yesterday the Lord reviled to me that I had somehow made an inner agreement with food, that food could make me happy, make me feel peaceful. Carbohydrates, sugar and lots of it. And that’s how i’ve lived my life, running to food (ad mist other vices). But, its time to stop. And I believe that God is telling me to make same changes, assuring me that He’ll be with me every step of the way.
So please pray for me. Not that I become a perfect dieter, but that I simply walk in obedience towards God.
Thank you for sharing this!
I’ve worked in the Prayer Ministry Department of my church as the secretary/prayer partner and it is truly amazing to see and hear how kind our God is! His glory is on display when a prayer is answered!
Praise Him!
Please pray for my nephew. He has been in and out of prescription drug use, stealing, in trouble with the law, etc. He needs redemption badly. Please pray God changes Him and He would show how we play a part in that.
Also for my husband’s cousin who is in the midst of divorce and struggling financially to keep up with the lawyer fees, bills, etc. She is a believer and has some awesome believers surrounding her right now but just pray she keeps close to the Lord and He continues to provide. She also needs specific guidance on whether to go to trial about custody. December 19th is the next big decision day.
Also please pray for our adoption. DSS is in the midst of choose which family will adopt the one boy we have shown interest in. Want favor if he is ours and peace if he is not.
THANK YOU!
Prayer Request. First, I wanted to tell you how much I love your blog, I love how real you are…….. love realness.
Pray for our family, Im 35 and we just our mother and 12 years ago our father. So pray for the logistics of everything….. I hate talking money and wanted time to settle first……. I am at peace with my moms death glad she is not in pain, but it is hard thinking no parents. And only being 35. So just pray. Also I just moved to Indy to live with my grandmother due to mothers passing and am in need of a church, so pray I find one.
