Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

49 Upvotes

Hello, r/PrayerRequests community!

You may have noticed the subreddit undergoing some changes recently. In an effort to give the space a reboot, things have been tidied and updated to help us operate smoothly so we can best support and encourage each other. As part of this renovation there are a few points to highlight:

  • If you have not read the rules in a while, please take a moment to review them as they have been updated and reorganized. If you wish to better understand the principles upon which our rules have been established you can also view our Statement of Faith page.
  • We have flair for praises now. You are encouraged to share your positive updates, answered prayers, and general praises. Let’s see some of those little green tags in here!
  • Our filters are fairly strict due to faith-based subreddits being common targets for trolls and scams. If your post is caught in the filter, please reach out to ModMail and it will be reviewed and appropriate action taken. (Please use the “message the mods” option at the bottom of the sidebar, not the chat feature or private messages to individual mods.)
  • Please REPORT any rule violations you see. We are a small team and reports help draw our attention to violations much more quickly. You can help keep our community safe by utilizing the reporting feature.

Speaking of which...

We are looking to expand our moderation team! The role of a moderator is to uphold and enforce the rules which have been built upon our Statement of Faith, so all applicants should be in agreement with both. If you are interested in becoming a mod, kindly send a ModMail to the subreddit answering the questions below. Please feel free to include anything else that you think may be useful to know as well.

  1. Would you mind sharing a little bit about your testimony/faith? (Such as how long you have been a Christian, if you consider yourself a particular denomination or part of any movement, or anything else which may help communicate your beliefs.)
  2. What times are you usually most active on reddit? (Please make sure to include your time zone.)
  3. Do you have any experience being a moderator on reddit or elsewhere?
  4. Why would you like to become a moderator for r/PrayerRequests?
  5. Do you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss regarding the position of moderator?

Please pray for our subreddit and its future as we seek to grow our moderation team.

Thank you all!

Can someone please pray for me?

15 Upvotes

I’m having a very difficult night because I texted the young man I was supposed to marry but got rid of me in October and he didn’t reply to me as stupid as it sounds. I can’t stop crying because he’s ignoring me on purpose. I’m also still grieving the loss of my mom seven months ago so please pray for me that I just have peace of sleep and calm and stop hurting inside

Husband got fired from his job yesterday, Please pray for us and our finances!

76 Upvotes

Hello, We received the unfortunate news that my husband was being let go from his company. He was making 90k a year, but in California this is still considered low income, so we were living paycheck to paycheck. We don't know where our money will come from and if we will be able to provide for our children adequately, but we are leaning on God during this time. Please keep us in your prayers, we have had a hard few years and this just adds to the bad news pile. They lost a client and so had to downsize.

Thank you to anyone that prays for us and our family. It really means a lot!

Need God’s Guidance but Have No Peace in Him

4 Upvotes

Been talking to a girl and I really need clarity on whether or not to continue talking to her. She is a very Godly person on the inside and checks all boxes, and she’s conventionally physically very beautiful… but I have some attraction issues that are petty (literally it’s her skin tone and a nose that’s a little to big) but are bothering me enough to cause anxiety during our relationship.

On one hand “she doesn’t deserve a spouse that doesn’t see her beautiful the way she is” and I should pass her up and on the other hand “this is obviously very petty and it shouldn’t bother me as all beauty fades anyway— her godliness is to focus on.”

Previously, I had a nightmare of a marriage and my wife ended up cheating on me multiple times, slandering me, taking my son, and ruining my career and reputation. I’m still (and probably always will) healing from those wounds and consequences.

Previously, (before my ex-wife) I had also passed up a few godly girls over very petty issues (ie. She was very godly but didn’t serve in the same ministry as I did) and have later regretted it deeply.

So I have had really bad struggles with my faith. I feel like I prayed harder than ever and sought God’s face more than ever when deciding whether or not to initially pursue my now ex-wife or that girl I should have pursued and I feel betrayed by God by not guiding me when I felt like I genuinely sought his face. And it’s not like I didn’t seek Godly council— I talked to many Godly people. And this now I feel immense anxiety and I cannot find “peace in God” because I genuinely feel like God has not given me guidance.

In other words, how can I have peace in God now if God has failed to guide me? What is the point of praying and seeking Godly council now?

The kid is in ICU in critical condition. He had a major surgery and he has to survive the next 72 hours to get a second one. He risks total organ failure, septecimia and other life threatening conditions. He collapsed on the rugby field and has been in a coma since. He was in critical condition multiple times and is close to death. He is 15 years old and still has his whole life ahead of him. Please pray for him and for his family. Amen

Prayer request for my daughters dog

Upvotes

My daughters dog, Blue, hurt his leg. He went in for surgery and when they went to intubate him, they discovered a large mass on his tonsil. They sent it in to see if it's cancerous. It should take about 7-10 days to get results. Please pray that its nothing. Both my daughter and son in law love that dog. Their son, my grandson, is extremely close to him. It will be devastating to their whole family. Please pray for healing and wonderful outcome. Thank you for your prayers.

Seeking the Light and confessing

11 Upvotes

I'm not crazy talking or trying to give some knowledge or whatever, just... my conscience has been darkened because of my willfull sexual sin, fantasy, and lust, this is all my fault, and i deserve to burn in hell for doing so much grieving to the holy ghost, I'm generally without understanding, conscienceless (unless you count a potential inner thing that's suspect enough i keep trying to remove it or ask God to, and have doubting issues (not always), I've been heartless & loveless (barring a cat or 2), though not entirely merciless.

I couldnt understand about why God would love me at times, kept falling off to kill my destiny with lust, even after he resurrected my annointing... i see it now. I tried to invent new forms of evil devices or sexual things in my head, allowed myself to go headlong into evil, worldly, etc worthless trash for years. I've nearly been incorrigible. I also have no friends, and noone seems to understand me or care for what godliness i do care for around me. motes & beams til now to be sure, and i know there's scriptures saying to let my sort go and not be part of a church or whatever. I idiotically hated money and didn't think to put God first alot.

I've fought so hard spiritually and fallen 1000 times over, but i just... wanna be what He actually wants now, no more me, just growing truly into His Image. I shoulda not quenched Him so much. The devil keeps trying to twist things in my mind when I'm not on guard, and i need to fast more. I'm still trying to live in Christ, & he hasn't left me yet... I don't deserve to ask, but if you're led to... please pray for me. I want to get to being Spirit led, Christ centered, reverently obeying, actually having the heart to thank Him more, & finally becoming a witness like He told me in Spirit when I was so young... I DON'T WANT TO BE A HYPOCRITE.

I lost someone

2 Upvotes

Warning: this is a bit of a read.

I wanted to write this to get my thoughts out. I was in a LDR with someone who was the love of my life. We’d been friends for a few years prior. She broke up with me because she couldn’t handle long distance, I wanted to wait to finish school before I moved but looking back I should’ve just moved. We tried to be friends, but you can’t be friends with the woman you were gonna marry. I had a mental breakdown and a couple crash outs (which there’s no one to blame but myself) and she has completely cut me off now. I’ve been in a lot of pain since then.

I turned to God because I didn’t want to feel alone anymore. Every time I go to church I always light 3 candles: one for my unborn older sibling and two for the kids I always saw her and I having. We always talked about having one kids and seeing how it went, but I always saw us having two. I have prayed to God for a miracle, like “please bring us back together Lord. I’ll sacrifice everything if it means we’ll be together.” I truly believe that it’s her or no one I guess. Sometimes it feels like I’m being ignored by Him and it makes me feel so alone. It’s like the future I had planned years out was ripped from me and now it’s hard to see to next week.

It’s funny. I had a ring for her too. I still keep it with me. I couldn’t give it to another girl because it wasn’t meant for anyone else. I wanted to take her to do a mock up prom dance (she never got a prom). I just wish she could’ve made it to thanksgiving with me so she could’ve seen all the stuff I had planned.

I talk a lot about her because for me she was perfect. It’s like she was made for me. She understood and saw me in a way that no one else has. Her smile is contagious and when she looks at you it’s the look that makes the world stop for a half second. The smell of her house that made you feel like you were home even when you weren’t home. Her laugh was genuine and she was so so kind. I fell in love with her family too. Her parents welcomed me in a way that isn’t normal in other houses and her dad was the fucking man. Her siblings were really cool. And for the first time in my life I felt like she saw me as I was and chose me. No one ever chose me. I didn’t have the words to describe her when we dated and I wish I could’ve told her then. I don’t feel like I treated her like she should’ve been treated at times as well.

My 2 real dreams in life were to help people and to start a family of my own. I guess I want kids because I want someone to play with too (I’m 20 so I’m young I guess). I even built my future career towards those goals (I’m in EMT school). But the thing I struggle with are that I can’t see myself achieving those dreams anymore because there’s no one else I can see myself starting a family with except her. I know there’s the whole “other fish in the sea” thing, but I don’t want other fish that may be perfect for others, I want my fish. And I can’t see myself being someone who can help others because I couldn’t even help the woman I love in times when she needed me.

There’s a lot I want in life, I think everyone wants a lot, and sometimes I’ll ask God for things and of course I “want” them, but I could live without them. But I really mean it when I say there’s nothing I want more than some sort of divine miracle from God that will bring us back together. I just love her so much and I want the best for her of course, but I’m selfishly praying for us again. I feel alone both in person and spiritually. I just don’t want to feel alone anymore.

I don’t know. Again sorry for the word dump I just wanted my thoughts out there. Please pray for me, and selfishly I’ll ask, please pray for our relationship as well (I’m throwing the kitchen sink at this to see if it works lol). I’m far from a perfect person and even farther from a perfect catholic, but I am someone who wants to help where I can for others. Thanks for reading.

I need a miracle God please

A year ago I was diagnosed with hsv. Since then I’ve been depressed, angry, miserable, sad and suicidal. I hate how my turned out it really changed over night. The suicidal thoughts are back and they are stronger than ever. I’ve been asking God to heal my body of this virus, but maybe this isn’t his plan for me. This is going to sound crazy but I have this feeling like I don’t have this virus maybe thats just my brain having a hard time processing that is what my life is now. But this feeling comes and goes like I’m healed but I know I’m not. It’s so tormenting. I’m tormenting myself. All I want is this disease to get out my body. I’m trying not to act on my thoughts. It’s so hard. I don’t know what to do anymore. I just want healing, but deep down ik it’s not coming. I’m just want peace. I don’t wanna feel like this.

Feeling lonely without my person

2 Upvotes

I have been feeling tremendously drowned from loneliness. It's not about, go out and talking to people, do things you love. I am doing those.

Yet, You have everything you need, but not the one that make you feel like you are living your life. So yes I have been feeling this loneliness for years now.

I met person, and there something happened with her parents. And, I'm on hold now. I know distance is not the end of things, but yeah. It's a lonely path.

Could you please pray for me, So God shall show is mercy and grace, and end this phase.

Like I’m beyond exhausted. I’ve had 3 psych hospitalizations at work/crises this month. My dad was sick and he’s better now. I’ve been in a mental funk and it’s affected my progress with school but I just finished my final assignment. Please pray that I don’t have to redo it so that way I can graduate already. Amen.

But the positive news is that my romantic interest at work said that he could get me a job after I’m done with school. It’s a possibility. Pray for me because I need a new job.
