Prayer Requests
We receive many prayer requests each week, and our goal is to list each one here in order to share this ministry with you, wherever you are. If you have been reading along, you know that many of our requests come from inmates in the nations federal, state and local prisons. Often their letter says simply, "Keep us in your prayers." Other times, they convey the details of their situation. And a few share their darkest fears and deepest secrets. So, while we recognize that God already knows what is in our hearts, we lift them up, by name, and we ask if possible for you to join with us. May you receive a blessing in sharing and caring.
Great and wondrous God, creator and redeemer of the Universe, magnificent and mystifying, maker of all things good and true, you created us in your image to be in communion with you. In our human weakness, we have turned away from your glory, and chosen a path of our own. But still you wait and hold out your loving hands to receive us. Forgive us for turning away. Remake us as you intend us to be.
We pray for your children, prisoners who are alone and isolated from their families, for those who struggle with addicition and mental health issues, for those who are trapped in anger or denial, for those who are drowning in depression and despair, touch them with your healing love, and make them whole. Guide and direct their lives to a path of reconciliation and renewal, and help them find their true soul buried under years of denial. Let them experience a rebirth of love in their lives, and open their eyes to the possibilities of true joy that exist in relationship with you.
In community, we lift our prayers for Andrea McCullogh for healing and recovery from illness and addiction, and for her family members who have stood by her through every hardship, strengthen and unite them in your love. John and Chassity Cooper, who are separated for a while, help them remain together in heart and mind through your love. For Beverly Beave, Leslie Simms, Tifany Terry and for Lorraine Hinderberger, and for all parents who are no longer able to provide for their children, help them find peace through prayer. Protect their children, help them grow strong in body and spirit, and if it is in your plan for them, show them the way to reconcile as a family someday. We pray for Shannon Sturgeon and her fiance, help them grow in love together, and provide them with the patience and strength to weather any storm life may bring. We raise the names of Sophia Nason, Kendra Porterfield, Chauntyse Anderson, M. Rhames, Imani Anderson, LuJuan Simmons, Margaret Rhames, Tonya Young and Aisha Dorsey, Mary Baker, Londa Copeland, Louise Manns, Cheme Vereen, Deanna Maes, Phyllis Goodwin, Glenda Ingram and her husband and children. Montevie R. Burks and his children, James R. Kemp, his wife, Terrie Simms-Imafidon and her family, Amic Peck and her children and their care taker, Jesse J. Archueta for healing from cancer, Larry D. Henderson and Janie Chesser, Larry Anthony, Jeanette Pickett, and all who are in distress. Be with them Lord, and help them find their way.
Our belief in Jesus Christ gives us the confidence to lift our heads in the light of your love. For we know that no greater love exists, and that is the love you have for us. We celebrate your Love, the Word, Jesus Christ our Savior! Amen.
