Welcome to all! This is a place for people who have prayer requests, and or praise reports. Or, if you just want to talk about what God is doing in your life, tell me about it! I want to know. All is welcome! I do not know about you, but I love to hear about what God is doing in other people's lives. It kind of incourages us as believers and nonbelievers to go on in life. I have many stories of God's grace in my life, yet I would like to hear from some other people before pressing on.
Fill free to talk and to respond to oters. I want to talk about God's love so that is why I have created this new topic. So I say, come all, and sit down to tell of the many wonders that fill our lives each day. Who knows what could become of this topic. I just hope that you all will enjoy it, and that you all will share what is on your mind.
May God bless you, and keep you in all of His ways.
From,
Lordlover
lordlover i think this is a splendid idea y didn i think of it!?!??!???!?!?!?!??!?!?! well at the moment i am going thru a very strange depression that i cant explain so... i wont go there but i will say this. if i didn have jesus in my life o boy i woulda done away w/ myself long long ago. i have tried once but the lord stopped me and said no i will take u when i am ready and im not ready yet so ure stayin here. anyway thats whats goin on w/ me...
I just want to pray for all the people taking tests this week (merry Midterms everyone) and for the soul of my nanna's cousin Jack who passed away last week. He lived in Ireland and was 84. I'm just glad we got to see him and his wife last summer and got to hear his stories about the house where he grew up. God has quight a storyteller with Him now.
I am sorry to hear about your friend. Just remember that God has something verry special planned for everyones lives no matter what is happening, He will bring you all through.
It is a trial week for everyone it seems as the finals are next week, and as the year passes on, it seems as if more and more mishaps happen more offten. For enstence, I live at the School for the Blind in Vancouver Washington. The girls and I have been verry close together, yet one of the girls decided one day to take my French book. She hid it under one of the girls' beds. To make the story short, it shows how much we can trust someone, and then have it broken so easily. I just want to pray that my dear friend will not have the tempation to steal again. It breaks the heart to see someone steal from you, or even anyone. Just think what God thinks of that?
I will be praying for all of you, and I hope things will go better. Just keep on trusting God, and keep believing in Him. For He is all knowing, and all love.
amen sista!
Lordlover there are better places for this kind of religious preaching...so take yourself off there pls.
Freya last time I checked there wasn't a god board, and just because your an unrepentend heathen who will burn in hell don't get in the way of true believers! PS I thank god for allowing Bush to get reelected so that gays won't be able to mary in this great land of ours!
Yeah, I think there's nothing wrong with this topic if that's what she wants to discuss, and it's not exactly preaching, as Lordlover chose to make her own topic. She's not forcing nonbelievers not read it, and hasn't even psoted that much yet anyway.
As for me, I'm thankful for just being alive (due to the fact that I nearly died many times as a baby), and I'm thankful for the friends I've made while working/helping out in the Special Ed. Classes because I know their place here is to teach and inspire others. That is why I want to be a teacher.
Leilani
yep agreed with Tinkebel. it's not really preaching at all since you certainly don't have to read it. We could create a "religion" board but then that won't solve the problem of any so-called preaching since the posts will always appear in the different status views.
Freya
For Once I have to completely disagree with you here. This is not in any way, shape or form preaching and I'm rather happy to see this discussion on here, it's non intrusive and, the good old argument applies, you can choose not to read it since the subject is very descriptive of the content. BlindGuy, so close to making a valid point, of course you had to go and ruin it by putting it in a very stupid way, the gay marriage issue can be taken up elsewhere and I still don't see why gay people could not get married in a non-relegious ceremony if that's what they really want, a Christian gay wedding, for me, is out of the question and wrong, but if a person on here loves someone of the same sex I am not here to preach and hope they find happiness together, no issues there with me.
But I agree with the point, Freya is, for once, out of line here I'm afraid.
I hope people will pray for the victims of the tsunami, regardless of their relegion, they need all our support material, spiritual and relegious and those of us who believe praying is a powerful tool to help those who are worse off than we are should use it along with the other means we have to aid their lives, without forcing our relegion on them in any way of course.
Cheers

Actually, come to think of it, this type of thing may be worth a category if there's interest, which would also be a safe haven board.
Post 11 I agree. Post 10 give them civil unions.
Thanks to all who have stuck up for me. God has put this on my heart ot give a place to talk about what He has been doing in our lives. Who ever does not like what they are reading, they can choose to read what we are posting. Remember that we all have the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion and so on. It is not the freedom from speech or the freedom from religion, but we have the right to post here.
I am praying for those who do not like my topic. This is here for those who care.
God bless.
yeah, I don't see any problem with lordlover posting here. and ...yeah..?
Any prayer requests? Praise reports? Anything?
Well, I guess I will begin. I have an English paper that is due in a week or two, yet I am having a hard time keeping up with it. I haven't had a long break eversince last summer, and now I am hooked with the Zone. I am feeling pressure. I just need to have a since of peace, and the speed to catch up to my class. If you could keep me in your prayers that would be sweet.
Also, if you have forgotten, we still want ot keep the Tsunami victums in prayer. There is a lot of dease and sickness. And, just think how sad it must be to know that their loved ones have been taken away from them for ever. How sad.
BlindGuy actually for once I totally agree with your post as long as the cevil unions bring the same duties and tax consequences as a marriage I think that would be a decent enough solution all around.
cheers
-B
Wildebrew, you are quite wrong it does sound like preaching to me and this is not a specifically religious board. If you want to pray for the victims of the Tsunami then go ahead but it won't do them any good in my opinion, and that doesn't mean I don't care because I have been involved in several fund raising efforts over here to raise money for aid etc. You're mentioning the Tsunami does beg the question that if there is a god why did all those people lose their lives in the first place? Frey.
Actulaly Freya, there is power in prayer. There is no livit to God's power. He created this Earth. When we pray, it is like picking up the telephone and talking right to Him. He might not answer right away, but He will answer.
There's no restriction, really. Freedom of speec runs both ways on this site. Just as much as you can start a topic about drinking or drugs, you could just as well talk about religion, prayer, or the church. Freedom of speech does extend to religion, as our Constitution here in the states so eloquently puts it.
Hi yall!!!!
Lordlover, go on!!!!! Wonderful topic!!!!! Glad to see it, glad to know you did this...
In Him,
Dixie
Sweet! Thanks you all. For sticking up for me. God bless all of you.
Yup gotta agree! LordLover can say/write whatever he wants. And I've no problem with a religion board myself either. I think many would enjoy it. Caitlin
hmm think we will create a board so there's no excuse for other complainers/whinders!
Freya, as outdated as this sounds and as much as we often agree on other things, if you don't like it, don't read it, relegion is as valiad as any other topic, there's no preaching in fact here, just a prayer chain for those who think that can make a difference, you don't and that's fine. I've been involved in fund raising too as well as donating myself to the effort but everything helps. So, a little too much negativity here, you don't believe and that is perfectly ok, but for those who do believe, let them enjoy this discussion all right?
cheers
-B
None of you answered my question...
That's because noone knows why God allowed that. It's hard to explain, but there was a reason for it. I, and noone else can read God's mind. We don't know why He allowed the tsunami to happen at all, but as a result of that, yes people did lose their lives, but as sad as this might sound, it did bring people together to help each other at the same time, and I'm guessing that's what he wants, is for everyone to be there for each other. Sorry if I might have offended anyone, but that's my opinion on things like natural disasters, and I guess that would apply to poverty also.
Leilani
Hmm, simple, it could be a reminder to us that we're destroying our planet's resources we're overcrowding the planet to the point where people sto paying attention to natural signs and live in areas that shouldn't be inhabitted, how our pollutin and green house effect has upped the surface of the ocean, you can call it nature, you can call it the earth, you can call it God, it's a reminder whichever way you look at it. Those things happen, we know these things happen and yet we did nothing to prepare for them, it's really our fault if we disrespect our living situation and act with the attitue that we have complete impunity from any disasters and that man confidently rules over this planet and nothing can challenge man's power. That's what this event is, be that devine inspiration or just the simple natural motions of the planet's tactonic plates that we so conveniently just chose to ingore. This thing will happen again, this time perhaps close to the cities of California (major friction areas there) and what will be the outcome, we know these things, yet we build our cities there, of course we'll suffer the consequences, ignoring the obvious and thinking you are invincible are, well, sings and bad personal ualities, if youare not of the religious opinion.
Cheers

please note that this will be continued in the new religion board within Safe Haven.
He wants 220,000 odd people to lose their lives so that 'everyone can be there for each other' does he? My oh my I just hadn't realised how wonderful God is, I am converted hip hip hooray!!!!!!
Well .. either 220,000 people lose their lives now and people wake up to the tragedy and start doing something about it (warning systems, global pollution etc) which may save 30 million lives in the next 100 years or, well, we'll lose those 30 million lives.
The point is that a good teacher or parent does not shelter the kid from everything and allow the kid to do whatever he/she wants. We have intelligence, we can do good and bad things with them, if we ignore nature and become arrogant of course we need to pay the price for that.
The title of this topic is prayer chain, so I am going to make a prayer request. I am not particularly religious but have read a lot about the power of prayer and feel that I need some help right now. I have had ongoing problems with ulcers on the bottom of my left foot for about four years now and am facing another infection and possible surgery. I need to have all five toes straightened on that foot but could face serious complications due to my diabetes. My doctor says I can't afford to put it off any longer because the pressure ulcers will keep coming back if I don't have this surgery. I have bought expensive orthopedic shoes and inserts and have had other surgery that were all supposed to help prevent this from happening again, but it still keeps happening. So now I am supposed to believe that having my toes straightened will solve the problem. I'm afraid of the possible complications but also afraid of not having the surgery. I will probably have it within the next few months or sooner if the doctor keeps insisting. So I guess what I am asking for is your prayers that the surgery will go well and that it will be the last surgery I will ahve to have and that in a few months I will be able to walk comfortably again without worrying about pressure ulcers forming again.
Thanks in advance to those of you who decide to pray for me, and thanks to LordLover for starting this topic.
Hi Lordlover,
My prayer request is for my mom, who has been diagnosed with diverticulitis. It's a colonailment, and mostly, it's people over 50 who have it. She has a mild form of it, and mostly it stays quiet and doesn't do anything, but she can't eat anything with seeds, which rules out quite a few things. It's too late to hope and pray the doctors were wrong and she doesn't have it after all, but I can ask that you pray that she has as little trouble with it as possibl. Thanks lordlover, and good to be here. I'm glad the post feature is working.
wonderwoman
ok. so my friend nathan was driving to church in his new car this morning right? well he saw flashing lights and he was like oh no the police are after me! well they didnt pull him over; they just happened to go his direction. he saw two more police cars and was really freaked out. he was about to pull over when he saw a fire truck and realized that they werent after him. he looked to his left and saw a white truck, crashed into bushes, airbags puffed up. there was a little kiddo wrapped in a blanket and shaking. we dont know these people who got in a wreck but its been on our hearts as a youth group and i was wondering if yall could pray for this family as well. thanks. god bless- mel
A family friend, who just happens to be blind, passed away yesterday. I and many others loved her very much. It'd be wonderful if we could all pray for her as well. Thanks.
Thank you for your prayer requests everyone. I will be praying for everyone of your prayers. Life can seem to get you down, yet, we jst need to remember that God is in controll of everything. Some people are problibley asking God why He let the Tsunami happen, yet if we stop to think for a moment, He never said people will not die. Yet It is part of life for a natural disaster to happen. It is peoples' own choice to live near the ocean. God does not tell people where to live, yet He allows us to choose where to live, and He allows us to make our own choices. God is love. With out love, there is no hope of living. The Bible clearly states that: there will be wars, and rumers of war, and famins, and Earthquakes. These disasters are the signs of His returning. Know one knows when He is coming back, yet we should prepare our hearts for that Day when He comes back to take us home to be with Him.
Just think about what is going on in the world, and then it might make sense. Never get mad at God for something that He worned us of.
What's a praise report, exactly?
James
james: a praise report is when... well like for example if you passed a final and you and your youth group have been praying about it t or somethin, then you might share that with them to let em know how it went. basicaly if the lord is working in your life and you wanna share it thats what it is
Ya, James, a praise report is just basicly braging to other people what God has done in your life. For example, I just want to praise God for the free country and the free school that I attend. It is a big blessing to have a free education. But most of all, I thank God for being the one and only loving, caring God. With out Him, we would not igsist.
That is my praise preport.
Please pray for my vision teacher. She's going for some minor shoulder surgery tomorrow. We've been together for my entire school career and she's almost like a second mother to me.
She will be in my prayers.
OK, I have another prayer. I want to pray for that person who came on to this site and said some nasty things about us. We do not know who igsactly who it is, but God knows this person by name. I call this person "Allphebet," but others may call he/she "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz." I pray that some one will enter in to his/her life and tell this person about God's love. i sent a private message saying that Jesus loves you and that I will be praying for you, yet I believe strongly in prayer. So, I am asking for you prayer in this persons life. As you all ready know he/she has been kicked off the site, and so we can not see the change in his/her life, yet we can hope and pray that God will bring someone in to their life to bring them to God.
Yes, I shall pray for him/her. If I yelled at him/her, it was wrong of me, and I am very sorry; I was outa place. God told us not only to pray for our loved ones but for our enemies as well.
Yeah I was mad at him too, but I do realize that he is just a sad insecure person and I'm sorry for him. Also want to pray for my friend's dog who fell off a balcony and is very ill ... he may actually have passed away by now I haven't spokento my friend in a few days but will try and get in touch with her. But as she knew the person I mentioned before and her dog was very dear to her, and also her mother is ill thsi is a hard time for her. Thanks guys.
How sad about the dog and your friend. I will be keeping them both in my prayers.
Another thing I want to lift up, is just all of the people in high school/college who are having a hard time keeping up wiht their studies. I am having a hard time, yet I know that there are more people to be conserned with. The big talk at my school is "homework." It just sadens me to see so much stress in some ones life.
Thanks,
Lordlover.
Remember: you all can always write to me if you want to speak to me. I love helping people with problems. I am always open minded, and I will always pray for all of your needs. You can write me at the following address.
Ether use my private mail here on the Zone, (which is the easiest,) or, you can write to:
chelsea.armstrong@gaggle.net
God bless,
Lordlover
I have a friend who is hurting, and I will not go any further into detail because I dunno if she'd want me to tell y'all her sitch, so... if y'all could just pray that she and her family be healed and that God's will would be done, that'd be great. Thanks.
Much Love to You and God Bless,
Mel
XOXOX
No problem Melmel ... and thanks LordLover for keeping her in your prayers, and her doggie too ... yes I'm definitely in the high school and load of homework category as well...And tests...So feel your pain absolutely. Hang in there!
I am hurting badly and am needing prayer... can y'all please pray that God will heal me and do His will with me? Thanks...
Sure thing. You will all get my prayers. I know how it feels to be hurting.
Cheers,
Lordlover
I have a big praise report and a prayer request. First off, my praise report. It is good to thank God for what He has been doing in your life or of the life of some one you know. I want to thank God for a loving family, and a free country where we can worship with out being afraid of what others of the law will say or do to us. Secondly, God has been good to me this week. He has always been good, yet I hae been asking Him for a small break in my evening where I can sit down and enjoy myself. Well, in US History, I had double the amount of homework, and I nearly completed my engish paper. I had study hall after school where I completed some of my US History, and earlier in Environmental Science, my teacher allowed us to catch up on homework. That is a big praise because I only had a little left on US History, and 20 math problems to complete. Now I have time tonight to relax and take a load off. Yae!!!!!
I want to now lift up the rest of the students that are in eather in high school or in college to hang on and to put their trust in God. It is hard to think that we only have a half of a year left. It seems as if we have a long time, but if we just ask God to pull us through, it will go faster, and our burrdens will be light. That is my prayer tonight.
Does anyone have any prayers to lift up to God? If so, fill free to tell us. We are your family, even if we have only met online, we are all family through Christ allone.
Agree with LordLover in that I've had a lot of free time so far this weekend and this week as well. Will keep both of you in my thoguhts as well. Take cares all.
It seems as if I am the only one really comming up with prayer requests, yet that is OK. Some times it is hard to express your thoughts on to paper and post it for the world to see. I have gotten over my fears about what people think about me. All that matters is that I show who I realy am. So many people these days though have just shut themselves up kind of in a hard shell that God is knocking on, saying, "hey loved one! Come out and see what I have for you!" But as time goes on, their hearts, (the shell,) hardens even more until they can not hear His knock anymore. How sad is that? My prayer for the night is for the people who do not know God yet to find Him. That will only happen if we as a whole family pray for them. There is a song that I have heard resintly that says "there is no time to change your mind, for the Son of God has come and you have been left behind." That brings shivers up my spine whenever I hear that song. It shows that we as humans better get right with Him, for the time on Earth is limmited. We do not no when He is coming back, but the Bible says to "be ready." So, if you think about it, pray for those who do not know God. There are many people on this site that do not know Him, and at school, or at work, or who knows where! But pray that God would move in their lives tonight.
Thanks,
God bless you all.
Lordlover
Lol go you! Hehehe.
I have a prayer request that God would help me to keep doing my best in school and everything I do for Him. I have a prayer request that my grades for this coming report card will be good, and my dad will be satisfied 'cause sometimes, even when it's an 89, he seems disappointed or something... I dunno if he actually is, but that's what it feels like, and it kinda... hurts.
That could be frustrating for your dad to be like that. My parents are happy even if I he a 80. I will be praying for you thesongwriter. That must make you feel quite sad. Good luck in school.
I have a praise report for you all. Yae! It is good news for all of us. Yep, the news is for one, that Jesus loves you more than the stars in the sky. Second part to good news is that God has planned each and every day in your life, so you do not have to worry any longer. That is right. He will never let you go through hard times with out His approval. This is no joke! My mom was almost hit by a car about three years ago bya drunk driver. If God was not there, she would be gone today. The car just barely missed her. Praise the Lord for saving my mom. I was almost hit my two cars resintly. Heading to Hudsons Bay just acrost the street from the Washington State School for the Blind, I went acroos with the traffic on my right, and all of a sudden, a car comes zooming in front of me and did not look first. The same thing happened with the other car. Both times, I was just an inch or two away from being hit.
You see, God loves us, and He will never forsake us as His Word tells us. So what I am getting at is that we must keep our eyes focused on Him. Do not listen to the world! For it will only tell us lies. God only tells the trueth. Don't believe me? Well, read the Bible! The Bible is all true. You can find no false words in it. Read and you will see.
I hope you all will see that God has put this message on my heart as I speak. I have been asking Him to use me, and I believe He wants to use me on this site, right here, and right now.
May God bless you all, and keep you all in His ways.

Lordlover
I have a praise report! I just got my report card today, and I have a 100 in VI, a 90 in US History, a 91 in English, a 100 in choir, an 87 in science, a 95 in health, and a 99 in math. Woot! And we're all happy about it. Prayer works, peeps! Thanks, Chelsea and anyone else who kept me in their prayers. *Smile.* Much Love to Y'all and God Bless, Mel...XOXOX
that is awesome thesongwriter! Praise God! I bet you will sleep well tonight! LOL... Great job.
Cheers,
Lordlover
Congrats Melmel!!!
I have a big prayer request. Today has not been fun at all. My speech went downhill, basicly failed my science test, and now people here on the zone are basicly writeing a written invitation to leave this site. It makes me sad to see people so up in arms over the smallest subjects! People are telling me and my friend to get out of here quite rudely, and, .. well... I am not sure how long I want to stay here as a member on this site. I came here thinking I would have fun, yet it is turning out as a hateful invironment. Who ever does not like me should just keep it to themselves and hit ignore! I rather be ignored than to have bad words flying at me, and for rude, angry thoughts being tossed to and fro in all notes.
So my prayer is for guidance for me. Sould I say on here? Or, should I find a better place where it is to be kept clean?
Thanks,
Lordlover
Hi Lordlover,
believe me when I say, I sympathize with you. There have been a few times when I've wondered why I'm still on here, yet I haven't had any problems with admins, or I should say no admins have had problems with me. I'm assuming it's the quicknotes where you've had problems with people. Well, the public quicknotes can be worse than some of the other boards are, and I decided after my first day that quicknotes weren't for me. There are a few nice people on the boards, that's why I'm still here. When it gets to the point where there are no nice people on here at all, then that will be a sign for me to leave here, but for now, when I think someone is trying to have a go at me, or I know their personality and mine collide, I just hit the tab key and skip past them, since there isn't a feature to ignore board posts. I wish I could help you, but there could be 2 schools of thought, one being that if you leave, you'll be giving the mean ones exactly what they want, but on the other hand, I can understand if all you're getting is verbal abuse and harassment, you might feel the need to leave. But if people are mostly picking on you because you express your religious beliefs, you just remind them that God is everywhere, he exists, and you have the right to express your views. I think what you've been doing on the boards is a great thing, and my hope and prayer would be that God would help you to stay here, but I can understand if you feel the need to go. I hope I have helped in some way,
wonderwoman
Though I'm not much of a god person I don't think that you should leave just because of your beliefs assuming that is what people yell at you about.
James
Well, thanks y'all. I will try and tough it out. It might not be fun, yet I will stick around.
Cheers,
Lordlover
Hi lordlover, if it's quicknotes where people are hounding you, you can put them on ignore. when you receive a quicknote, there is the ignore link right above the persons' user name. I wouldn't stop talking about God just because some people don't like it.
wonderwoman
Yeah, I turned off public QuickNotes and blocked a buncha people a looong time ago;... it helps a lot. Now, I don't hear that annoying DEIEIIEIEIIEIIEIIIEIEIEIIEIENG when I refresh my page. Also, Chelsea, don't give up, for as stated in Matthew Chapter 5:3-16, "'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' 'Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 'You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.' 'You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.'" As for your grades, I know how that goes, so I will definitely be praying for you. God bless.
Thank you thesongwriter and the rest. I will be staying. It is great to no that people do care about me.
Thanks.
Hey, for all who does not know God as their personal Lord and Savior, this is your chance to get to know Him. Some of you might have seen this topic, yet have wondered who God is. Well, you don't have to wonder anymore. God is our Heavenly Father who has created us. He loved us sooooooo much that He sent His one and only Son to die for our sins. Yes, our sins. Everyone on earth has sined. Through God Son, Jesus, we have been saved. Jesus died on the cross, and rose again three days later. Don't believe me? Well if not, just read the Bible! The Bible is true. God had many people write the books of the Bible. Don't take this as if i am picking on you, yet God loves you, and calls you His own. If you do not know Him, and you want to know Him, this is the best time to except Him as your Lord and Savior. You might be wondering, "what must I do to except Him?" Well, let me tell you! All you have to do is close your eyes and say, "Lord I know that I have sinned, and I want to be your child. Please be my Lord and Savior. Amen." That is it! It does not have to be long, but what ever you say, God will hear you. The angels in Heaven will be rejoicing the moment you ask God in to your life. I am not here to make the choice for you, yet I have excepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and I hope you will too.
Good luck on your choice! I hope you too will choose to follow Christ.
God bless,
Lordlover
Yes lordlover, i think this is a great topic. I want to prey for my parents. My mom who is trying to stop drinking and for her mental illness. My dad for driving his truck all around the states. He's allmost died three times, for being a truckdriver's not an easy job. And i agree with everything wildebrew. Like thesongwriter, i've gone to a rilly bad depression and god's said I need to stay here when all i wanted to do is leave. I prey for the guy who raped my cousin, that he finds god and changes. I also prey for my best friend's granmother who is in Kemo for breast cancer.
Ya I'm not like extremely religious either, but I do believe in God, and I totally do not think people should be messing with you at all. PM me and tell me who it is and i will kill them for you lol!
Caitlin
Lost girl, I will be praying for you. It must be hard to live like that, but God has a plan for you
I heard some sad news last night. I do not remember were it is, yet some one on life support is going to bew taken off in the next month. I believe this ladies name is Terry. Her huband wants her to die so that he can marry some other person. How sick is that? poor lady! She can not stop them because she doesn't have a way to speak. I just want to pray for Terry that if she does not know the Lord that she would be able to find Him in her life before it is too late. And also, I want to pray that the heart of this bloody wicked husband would change. God know's his plan, and he knows what will happen to Terry. There is nothing that God can not do. I pray that Terries life would be spared. This happened a year ago, and someone stopped the prossess. I feel for this poor lady. So if you remember Terry, please keep her in your prayers. Thanks.
I don't see how this guy is being evil. He has been there all along for his wife. All though he may have a new life, everyone deals with life in there own way. It would be a really hard situation to be in. I couldn't imagine having to make that decision. Could you imagine sitting there watching your wife or daughter suffer with no life what so ever! It is only our technology that is keeping her alive. I can't say wheather i aggree or disagree, I'm not in the situation. So i'm not judging either of the family members. Remember you can't always rely on the wonderful press to tell both sides of the story. They edit what they want every one else to hear or read! So instead of judging maybe you should be praying that the best decision for this lady is made! smile- angel
hmmm, where has this post gone? my bf and i were looking for it and hmmm, finally found it in lordlover's profile. lol! smile- angel

Hahaha. You have come to the right place Angel.
Yeah really, what's so wrong with the husband taking away the life from this woman if she can't talk much less move due to life support? Life is so overrated, and now people are probably gonna say I'm suicidal for saying that. Ahh well, such is life. Oops!
James
P.S.,
Just a bit confused on this issue, explain how the meek will inherit the earth.
Well James, I can understand your point of view, but then you have to relize that this lady still has feelings, and she has so many loved ones who have cared for her, and who are still caring, and loving towards her. It is not only going to effect this lady who is going to slowly die, but all of thosw who care. The husband of course, will not mind at all, but think of the rest who are going to have some hard feelings about this matter.
how can you say the husband doesn't care. You don't know how he feels. As I said before people deal with there stress and life problems in a different way. he may have felt alone and needed a companion to help him through it. After all, his wife has no life other than technology keeping her sleeping forever. so what kind of life is that for anyone. It's not like she can even look at them or smile and let them know she is still feeling. she can't even open her eyes. so what makes you think she should stay on life support forever? As I said before I am not in the situation, and wouldn't want to be in any of there places, so i'm not saying weather there making the good decision to keep her alive with technology or let her go peacefully. That would be wrong of me to judge either of the family members. It has to be hard on all of them. And as i said, you can't always believe the good ol press, they only give us the part of the story they want us to believe! So I pray for this family that is put in a bad situation that i wouldn't wish on anyone! smile- angel

I have a prayer request. I'm sick, and this is my second day out of school. Can y'all please pray for me that I will get better, and I will catch up easily? Thanks. God Bless, Mel...XXX
Call me cold and heartless but what's there to love if it doesn't talk, move, or do anything but sit there attached to some machine? This is what kinda gets me a little ticked about people who think life is more important than anything, even suffering.
James
Sure thing thesongwriter. I know how it feels to get sick and feel aweful. You will be in my prayers.
God bles,
Lordlover
Tomorrow, I have a very important doctor's appointment, to see what's up with my foot pain that's been going on for 2 years. If it's what they think it is, there's nothing they can do because I can't be off my feet for 2 months, and it could cause other complications. Please pray for the appointment!
Sure thing puppybraille. Two years is quite of time to deal with the pain. I sure hope the doctores will be able to find the problem. i will keep you in my prayers.
Cheers,
Lordlover
I too have a prayer request. As some of you might know already, I am from a school that has about 60 students in all. This week, many students have gone home because of the nasty bug that is being passed on. I just want to pray for the remaining students health that they could stay healthy. I have caut it already, and it takes about a week or more to recover from it. Students can not miss school since we all have to travel a ways ot go back home. So, that is my prayer for the night.
Thanks,
Lordlover
puppybraille, I will definitely pray for you; I know how pains are; my mom's got problems with her shoulder for a year and has gotten two nerve blocks. And, she has two bulging disks, but since neither of the nerve blocks have really been working to her knowledge, and now, her left shoulder is doing the same thing, we're thinkin' it's neurological. So you will definitely be in my prayers. And Chelsea, you too; I hate the bug; I'm getting over it and forced myself to go to school yesterday.... it wadn't pretty, LOL. God Bless, Mel...XXX
My health teacher went to the hospital at 10:00 PM last night to get ready to have her baby, which is due today. She won't be at school for the rest of the year. Can y'all please pray that the delivery goes well and that God has His hand on and does His will with the baby? Thanks...
sure thing thesongwriter. She will be in my prayers.
Guys, I just wanna say, I'm really glad I found this board, cheers lord lover, it will be great too pray and get stuff off my mind. Well, I am having a bit of a problem in my ralationship with Jesus at the moment, We are getting a little distant. Earthly stuff is pushing us apart, and it's killing me! What do I do? Sazz.
Hey Sazel. I had the best time in Youth Group last night. It felt as if I could think and pay attention for the first time in ages. The message was on thinking good thoughts, and getting rid of the bad, unwantedd thoughts. This has been an issue for me for years. My prayer every day was: "Lord, I really want to hear you Word, yet I can not focus. The worldly thoughts are drowning You out! Please help me focus on Your Word." But, no matter how much I prayed, it just got worse. Then last night I went to Youth Group and heard a verse that spoke clearly to me. Look at Philipians chapter 4, verse 8. It talks about having lovely thoughts, and to not think of the worldly things, but ot think of the Heavenly things. Check it out and you might feel better.
Cheers,
Lordlover
About the woman on life support, I've got to agree with james and Angel. I'm sure the husband just wants to put the poor woman out of her misery, and it's not just because he has another woman in his life. He just wants to move on and not make her suffer. We can't just believe the stories we hear and assume theyr'e true. And James is right, life is kinda overrated. If you're suffering, why continue to suffer when nothign is being accomplished? And if people really lovey ou, they won't want you to be in pain.
Ya, I guess you do have a good point Caitlin. I guess we should be praying for God's will, and not our will to be done. God knows what will happen to this woman, and we do not. So, just pray that the right disition would be made.
Now it is time to change the subject. LOL... Many people may be feeling this way, but I want ot adress it right now. School has in my opinion, been getting a bit rough lately. I have seen grades drop even when I try my best. i want to pray for all who are in school to just keep up their hard work, and to put their trust in the Lord instead of thinking that they can get through school on there own. God hears us when we pray, and He wants us to talk to Him about our problems in every day life. So, that is my prayer.
Who ever is enterested, I am going to be holding a phone confrence next Saturday that is March 12, starting about 6:00 PM. This is a place where you can call and talk about prayer requests, or just have a clean chat with others. I mean to have this be a "cuss free talk" that is uplifting.
the code is 777.
I hope to see you all there!
Cheers,
Lordlover
I have a praise report, it is finally the end of the week at my school. I have felt quite down with homework and what not for the past month or so, however, I feel a since of freedom now that we have a long weekend ahead. Praise God!
Amen sista! My Spring Break just ended, and it was great! I don't want it to end *sobs.* But I think now that I'm pooped I'll be able to get it all outa my system and buckle down on school again.
Also, when I go back to school on Monday, I'll get my progress report for all my classes. Can y'all please pray for me that I do well? I always have fear of not doing good enough and displeasing someone, particularly my dad... all I want is to make him and my other dad happy.
Aw thesongwriter, it will all work out just fine. Good luck. When taking your finals, think of happy thoughts, and throw out the unwanted thoughts. I will be praying for you.
Cheers,
Lordlover
Well, I went to visit my older sister who lives with my mom's mom, and overnight, she threw up many times. Well, now that we're home, my little sis threw up a lot last night, and I fear I'm next with this whole stomach flu dealy. Can y'all please pray that God heals Cindy and Tessa, and my family stays healthy? Thanks... God bless
sure thing Thesongwriter. I too have a prayer request. Last night I was on the tell/confrence, and this person named John asked me to post his prayer request. I guess he has been looking for a wife for some time now, but he is giving up on the hole thing. He has been giving to others, and to his work, but now he wants to hav someone in his life. Just keep him in your prayers. He does not really trust people, and well, he needs prayer.
thanks.
Lordlover
Hi the song writer and lord lover, I hope your sister and family recover soon song writer, those stomach flu things are bad business. Lord lover, I'm glad it was a prayer request, since when he told me he wanted to talk to you privately about your prayer chain post, I was afraid he was going to lecture you about what you should and shouldn't post, so I'm glad I was wrong. I enjoyed talking to you and excited last night on the teleconference.
wonderwoman
Ya, I was afraid he was going to scold me ofr what was right. Thanks for joining the confrence Wonderwoman.
I enjoyed it, and whenever you have a conference, I will pray that all your participants are nice and respect each other. I will join when Ican, but it will depend on whether or not I have a calling card. I was surprised really, I guess it was something in the way he came across.
wonderwoman
The flu is no joke! Hope yoru sis gets well soon Melmel. And which John is this, unless of course he doesn't wanna be known? Sorry am a bit confuzzled.
Caitlin
Yes, if he doesn't mind telling us, which one is it? I'm just curious, so I'll know the situation better, y'know? And Cindy's lookin' better so far, so thanks for your prayers, you guys! This week, I have a lot of chorus rehearsals and whatnot, Dad has a lot of work, Mom has a doctor's appointment for her shoulder and a neurologist appointment, and Cindy will have catchup work, and we have an ONM trip tomorrow,... very stressful. Can y'all please pray that we get everything done that we need to get done, and that everything would go well? Thanks! Also, I forgot to mention that I got my progress reports yesterday, and I received an 88 in math, a 90 in US History, and a 92 in English. Woot! I haven't gotten my science one yet because I was at an IEP meeting, which went well, by the way, so I'll get it today. Thanks again for your prayers and God bless!
Ooh major praise report! I have received a 99 in science and a 99 in health! Woot! Thanks for your prayers Chelse and the rest a you guys!
yea Thesongwriter!! Praise God! I know you would do so well. Yea!!
I do not remember Joh's user name on here. He hasn't been on here for many months because of his computer. But, no matter whitch John it is, God knows who he is, and he will hear our prayers. He knows who we are wanting ot pray for.
I too have a prayer request regarding to school. I for one, am having a hard time with French I. I can not seem to memorize the words that I need to know for the up comming test. That is scaring me big time because I was doing a great job last submester, but, I am lacking something, and I need ot bring all grades up there. Also, in English, we are reading a book called Pride and Prejudice. I do not like books that deals with romance, and fame. i love books that has adventures, and commity. This book was written years ago, and I do not understand most of the words spoken in the book, so I lose train of thought. We have an essay soon, and I feel as if I am not grasping enough of the book to write a sintence. Hahahahahah. I want to understand this book so that I can have good grades, but I keep on falling asleep, or drifting away in to "my world" instead.
thanks,
Lordlover
Oh I'll definitely pray for you; French is hahrrhrhhrhhhrhhrrhrhhrhhhrhrd! I'm also kinda going through a depression right now that I will not go into depth in speaking of it, but can y'all please pray that God helps me through it? Thanks...
Hi Lord lover,
I can sympathize with having to read books you don't really like. That was my problem when I had school, and still is, if something doesn't capture my interest, or just bores me, I can't get into it, and I can't stay focussed on it, no matter what it is. It's a wonder I ever got good grades at all, especially with subjects like history and science, which I think are the most boring subjects in the world. Good luck, and hope and pray you get enough grasp of the book to get a good grade.
wonderwoman
Amen! History and science are the lose! OK, I have a praise report. I had a blast at the ONM trip today; it all went well. Also, I'm catching up on my work. YAYAYAYAY!!! Thanks for your prayers, guys! God bless!
yea for thesongwriter! I jsut found out today that I am not doing well in French at all. It seems as if I have slipped away from the language all of a sudden. I am afraid that I will not make it through the year with out blowing my fuse. I have to take another year of French next year inorder to graduate. Oh boy. I am not looking forward to that. I came in to French class thinking that it would be all fun, but tables have turned, and I am just about to burst in to tears.
You will be in my prayers thesongwritter. God hears all of our prayers. He is just waiting for us to come to Him with our needs and tell Him how we feel. He knows all things, but He wants us to go to Him with our problems. Take our burdens to the cross so to speak.
Thanks, Chelse; I just found out that a science test I studied two hours for and studied the right info,... well, I got a 68, and really, I dunno whether to laugh or cry. LOL
OK, I have a major praise report! My mama got back from the neurologist just now, and the appointment went well! Yay! Thanks for all your prayers!
Praise God! Thesongwriter, i can relate to your science test as well. I got a 70 and I was quite disapointed. that is the second science test that I have done so poorly on.
OK. i do not know how to say this, but I am rally not doing too good in French, and I feel as if I am never going to have good grades in that class. I have a test tomorrow, but I can not see myself doing well. I just need prayer for that. Thanks.
I just wanted to up date you all and thank you for praying. At this point, there's not much conventional medicine can do. Surgery is an option I can't use at this point. They're putsing with shoe inserts, which aren't solving the problem. Right now, we're trying acupuncture. It's not bad at all, even pleasant! So maybe, this might be the answer to our prayers.
I'm sooo happy for you Nickie! I will keep you in my prayers. Can y'all please pray for me? I have a test in English tomorrow, which should be a breeze, but I hafta take a math test with my VI teacher sometime this week, and I dunno if I'm ready for it. I think I'll do OK, but geometry is DEFINITELY not one of my strongpoints. I have a science and also, a history test on Thursday, and I'm very nervous.
I'll definitely be praying for you. I am not a fan of math. I'll pray that you can have a clear head, stay calm and do well on the tests.
Sure thing Thesongwriter. I too do not like math. I know how you are feeling. Good luck!
And praise God about your foot Puppabraille. God is so good. Even when it seems as if He can not hear us pray, He prooves us wrong. He works in mysterious ways.
I have a big praise report today. French is going much better, and my US History teacher interduced me to the Packmate. There is a neat feature on it which allows you to record a message on it. I am thinking that would help me keep track of what to do for homework. This is a big inproovment because I had a hard time keeping a skedual with braille notes. This Packmate thing has built in Jaws, and wireless enternet. Praise God for opening up some more doors. This is not my own Packmate, however, I am going to try this out and if I really like it, I will write a letter to my local Lions' Club and ask them if they can help me get one.
Thanks for your prayers.
I have just been on this board for the first time, as my friend told me about it. i'm not sure what i believe in at the moment, or where religion is going for me, but one of my friends passed away recently, and i know she was a christian. Her faith was real. it's been nearly a month now and after it happened, i prayed for her friends and family and that i would get some support in her passing, my prayers were answered and i've even made a new friend out of this sad situation. This friend knew my other friend too. I won't mention her name, but thank you to this person for helping me through.
I'll be praying for you that you can find the answers you need as well as comfort.
same here. that is a sad time in ones' life. My English teachers' mom just past away as well. It is a sad thing to deal with, but we all have to face death one day in our lives. God bless you all.
I also have a prayer request. As you all might already know, I am not having a fun time in school right now. I feel as if Satan is getting to me, or trying to take over me. I just feel like I need a better aditude towards people here at school, and here on the zone. I do not want to give a weak point for Satan to grab ahold of. I just want to pray that I would have more of a loving aditude in school, and out of sschool, and just keep stong in God's Word Thanks.
I'll definitely keep you in prayer! I'lll be praying that God would put a hedge of protection around you and keep you safe from the fiery arrows of satan.
thank you verry much. Satan is just looking for that oppertunity to take over our lives.
I just want ot take the time out to thank God for the oppertunity to praise Him right here on the zone. What a blessing it is to tell how we are feeling, and ask for prayer. I am greatful for the blind comunity here, and the freedum of religion. Although we all come from all over the world, you have the freedum of speech here in this topic. If you are going through a hard time in life and you need someone to pray for you, let us know, or PM me and tell me what is on your mind. I love to talk to my Heavenly Father, and He loves to hear our prayers, and to answer them. He might not answer them right away, but He has a time and a place for every prayer.
So, feeling down? Let us know! Can not wait ot hear from you!
Cheers,
Lordlover
Oh wow, I'll be praying for all of ya's. I've got some major updates and praise reports, and some prayer requests as well. First of all, I dunno what I got on my math test yet. Second of all, I dunno what I got on my english quiz, but my English vocab test was a 92. My English grade is now a 91. I got a 73 on my science, and I studied sooo hard for it! I wanted to cry! Thankfully, my grade is only an 87. I got an 84 on my history. I studied a lot for that one too, and it was kinda disappointing. Also, we just got through doing UIL. The nonvarsity girls got straight ones on stage and threes in sight reading. Poor things; the judges were hard this year, and their piece was harder than all the varsity ones! The varsity girls, my class, got straight ones in sight reading and performance. The varsity boys got straight ones in sight reading and stage, and the varsity mixed, which I am also in, got a one, two and one on stage, and twos for sight reading. It was hard!!! But we're happy as can be. Tomorrow, I'm competing at the Tech Olympics in my region for blindies, and I'm kinda nervous. I'm also really stressed and kinda depressed and very tired and very contemplative... can y'all please pray that God helps me through it? And Chelsea, I admire how you brought up your attitude; I almost didn't have the balls to do it, for I've been praying about mine privately, and now that you've stood and spoken out, I'd like to also. Can y'all pray with me that my attitude gets better about certain things? Thanks, all! Have a great weekend! Love-- Mel
Also, today is my parents' fifteenth anniversary! Woot for them! I'm so thankful that they've stayed together through the good times and bad, very bad trials we've all been through. Praise the Lord!
Even if you're not a Catholic, please pray for Pope John Paul today. His health is failing and he's decided to die at home rather than go to a hospital, so please pray for a peacefull end to his suffering and for the people he's lead for over 25 years.
I hope it's not too late to ask for prayers. I should have posted here before surgery but didn't have time because it was decided at the last minute by my doctor on March 2 that he wanted to operate on my foot that afternoon. I have had an ongoing problem with infections in my left foot for four years. I ended up having part of an infected bone removed as well as a toe amputated. Please pray that the infection is permanently gone and that I will some day be able to take my feet for granted and not worry about having it amputated.
I'll definitely be praying for you! Remember, God is faithful. I'll be praying that he heals you and that you'll see more examples of how faithful He is!
Wow. I will be praying for everyone here. It looks as if the pope has had a peaceful departure from the world. It is a sad time to go through.
Also, welcome back Mell! I am glad ot see that you got good grades on your tests. And for those that you didn't do good on, you did your best, and you couldn't do any better. I learned that out of experience. My French teacher told me that I was being too hard on myself. So Mell, I am going to say that you are doing the same thing. Just enjoy the grade that you recieve and don't beet yourself up over it.
Cheers,
Lordlover
Hey. As long as we all have the freedom of speech, we all have a right to say what we want to! I think it's awesome that your brave enough and that strong that you can say what you think and stand up for what you believe in.
Charis
I wasn't trying to be rude. I was just trying ot lift some pressure off of her shoulders.
Na, Chelsea, it's all good. You are absolutely right. Thanks for your prayers! XOOXXXOXOOXOX
Well, I hope this makes some people feel better, but I can't ever remember getting a perfect 100 on a french test. I may have gotten an 80 or so, but I can't remember ever getting 100. French is a difficult language, especially when the verbs and nouns come the exact opposite from the way it does in English. I got so stressed in school once, well I shouldn't say in school, since I had a homebound teacher, but I was in a very difficult part of French, and it took me a long time to finish it, well I got stuck actually, and didn't, because I had other homework, but I woke up the next morning sick to my stomach, and the whole time the teacher washere, I felt sickish, but as soon as she left, it went right away, and it was like I'd never been sick, so nobody has to feel bad about getting a lower grade in French, I understand the feeling.
wonderwoman
If you could all pray for me, I have a * huge final in my college in the schools history class. It's like 21 percent of our grade. I'm cramming!
Man, I'd never take French if I knew what was good for me. I've tried to learn, and I suck at it! I love it, though. But I'm good at Spanish, so I think I'll go with Spanish in high school.
Oh, yes, just saw your post, Nickie. I will definitely be praying for you!!
Thanks for your prayers! I'll try to post here when I find out how I did.
Chels, you rock, and I admire you!
K,
Bye for now.
Lisa
This definitely goes down in the praise reports! I got an 87 percent on my test for the history class. I pulled off an A minus! I'm definitely thankful to God for this one!!
congratulations puppybraille, you made it, great going.
wonderwoman
Woot for Nickie! Yayayayayayaya!
Praise God for all prayers. God is sooooooooo good to all. I have never been so good at learning history or French, but what ever I learn, I take it as a challenge, and not a stumbling block. If we do not have challenges in our lives, then life would be down right borring! Hhaahaha.
Oh and thanks Lisa. You just put my smile back on my face. Grin...
Today in French, my teacher wasn't there, so the whole class practiced their speeches on their family trees. I was the only one with out any pictures. LOL. But that is OK. I had my speech all written out on three-by-five cards. That works for me. LOL...
God bless you all, and good luck in school this comming week. Keep those prayer requests, and praise reports coming our way!
Okay, yet another request. Julio, my Guide Dog is sick. He's been to the vet and will have to miss work because he has to eat special food really frequently.
Please pray that:
1. Julio will feel better.
2. I will be patient with the cane.
Thanks!
I loved reading all of your prayer requests and reports and how the Lord had been working in your lives and I'll be praying for all of ya'll. it's an amazing thing to know Jesus and feel the joy that He brings and I'll also be praying that those who don't know Him, will know Him...He is incredible!!!
I have a prayer request. I have two exams coming up, a history one on wendsday and a psych one next tuesday, could ya'll just pray that I remember what I studied and do well on them? I'm stressin' a little even though I'm trying to just put it in His hands and not stress.
I also just wanted to share something that one of my pastor friends told me that helps me get through the hard times. he said "if God brings you to it, He will bring you through it." I love that, and another thing I try to apply to my every day life is "count it all joy, no matter what!!!"
anyway, I hope and pray that God will have His hand on all of you and I'll be back later!! take care and God bless!!
canadian diva
Sure thing Canadian Deva! I'll definitely pray! Thanks for the reminders too!!
I will be keeping you in my prayers Canadian Deva, and don't stress. My French teacher told me, "right before a test, or an exam, close your eyes and picture your special memory from maybe your Grandma's house, or something that you love ot eat. Doing this will get you relaxed." MAnother teacher said: "do not ask other class mates if they have studied. if you do, you will tense up and fail." So, try that, and you will do treat.
And Puppabraille, I sure hope your dog gets well soon. That is not a fun thing to use a cane. I am a cane user, but I sure wish I had a guide dog. I will be getting one, but after school. You both will be in my prayers.
God bles you all.
I myself loose faith a lot I give up on things so easily i try to stop drinking and other horrible things I have been on a psych word 17 times I liked it that uch. I was adicted to the meds they gave me but my mom oved me to mississippi and I cleaned up and found god but I keep turning on him and do not know why I wish i could find the strength the courage the hope. I joined a primitive church baptist at that in mississippi Then i moved back to issouri and checked out this one church I tried to add coments and some little teeenager kept tapping my arem saying i should be quiet but at my old church they didnt say that efveryone had equal rights I claimed a scheduling problem to keep them from coming to my house after that I want to find a good church but most of them want money or something like that there are some who say the bible isnt in to church as much as some would have us believe but I wish i knew some answers
Hey metallica_girl. I know of a church that you would love and that would bring you some hope. Look for your local Calvary Chapel and visit it. You will love it. I go to one here where I live, and I totaly recommend it. I am not saying that mine is the best, however, I have gone to a few in the past several years, and have enjoyed them.
I will be keeping you in my prayers. God loves you, and wants ot call you His child.
God bless you.
I have a big prayer request. Tomorrow I have a mock interview for a class called GOALS. Which also is known as going out and living succsessfuly. This is determining if I pas this corter, or not. If I fail, I will have to take it over again. The interview will take about twenty minutes, and I do not know too much about her questions that she will be asking. I just need to be calm during the interview, and to think happy thoughts as I answer the questions.
If you would keep this in your prayers that would be awesome.
Thanks much,
Lordlover
I'll definitely pray for you LordLover, interviews can be tough, but if you don't think of them like interviews, that'll help some.
Hmm I live in columbia missouri and I do not think we have that available I wonder if I can find something with my family's help
I just wanted to report that the acupuncture is working! It's definitely starting to help my foot! I'm really grateful to God!
Praise God! God is soooooooooo good!
Yay for all the praise reports and I will be praying for y'all! OK, I got my report card on Friday, and I have a 100 in VI (obviously), an 89 in US History, a 93 in English, a 100 in choir (obviously), an 87 in science, a 99 in health, and a 90 in math. That makes my core average a 90, my elective average a 100, and my total average a 94. Thanks for your prayers, guys! God bless! P.S. Chelsea, I didn't know you went to Calvary too! Sweet!!
Julio was able to come to school for a little bit with me today. Praise God! Thank you for praying!
right on right on, I'm glad to hear God is working such wonders in all of ya'lls lives, I'll keep praying. Metalica girl, I know where you're coming from with the church thing...i'm looking for one to go too myself. I used to go with my friend before she moved, but I just didn't feel it. we'd get up and sing a few songs before the preacher came on and stuff, but when he was preaching we just sat there and listened. I'm not like that, when I think about what God has done in my life and how wonderful He is, I wanna get up and shout and praise Him!! I know there's a time and a place for quiet worship, but that's not the kind of church I wanna go too. I want somewhere where I can be free to express my emotions and fellowship with others in a joyful way during service.
so, Metalica girl I'll be praying for you on that one, I can definitely relate.
Lordlover, how did your mock interview go?
peace and God bless
canadian diva
Well, praise God for all of the answered prayers! God is sooooooo good to all of us.
My mock interview went fine. I just forgot to push in my chair after the interview, and my tights were rinckled at my anckles as if I were an old woman with wrinkled skin. hahahaha. I do not know if I have passed yet. My teacher says only one personfailed. We won't know until tomorrow. We have been holding our breath for four days now.
hahaha
Well, I am glad to hear that all is going well for everyone. Take care, and keep on praising God.
News update:
I found out today that I have passed the corter. Praise God! I feel bad for the kid who didn't pass. He trys to fit in, and to do his work, but he failed to complete what was asked of him. So he failed.
Thank you all for your prayers and your support.

yay, God is good!!! you passed, that's awesome!! maybe we should pray for the kid who didn't pass, maybe God will touch him and everyone will recognize that he is able to do great things through the Lord too.
YAY CHELSEA YOU GO GIRL!!! Well, as peoples from Texas know, particularly kids, we're all testing. Almost done, though! Yay! Also, I get progress reports on Friday. Can y'all please pray for me that I'll do well? Thanks! God bless!
Good idea canadian_diva. God hears every prayer. The more prayers,thebetter. And you will be in my prayers Mel. God bless you all.
Much love,
Lordlover
I have a huge prayer request. I haven't been ableto sleep for a long time with out night meres, and unwanted thoughts running like a never ending movie in my head. If you could keep that in your prayers that would be great. Thanks bunches.
Amen I know how you feel girl. I hate nightmares. They suck. You'll defentially be in my prayers. OK I have a totally aweosme praise report woot!! Hehe. I have an 85 in math, a 93 in US History, a 94 in English, and I dunno what my science grade is yet. This makes my core average a 91 so far. Thanks for y'all's prayers! God bless!
Thats sad that the kid didn't pass the quarter I know whats it is like to try to fit in and not make it you should try to find a way for all those kids to pile on here we could mmake them feel better
I'm hurting... badly.
Poor Thesongwriter. I may not know why you are hurting, but I am aching as well. I just got back from the bus to my school and wish I was still at home. There was a student on the bus who is deeply in to witch craft and magic. He believes in many god's instead of our one and only true God. He kept on saying that our God does not igsist, and that I was stupid for what I was believing. He tried to get me to believe his story, however, I have witnest God's love in my life many a time, and will not be torn away from being a Jesus Freek. The sad thing is that this kid is so strong willed that he will just go on and on about his belief, and not listen to what I have to say.
Will you all be praying for Nathan? Jesus is coming back one day soon, and I do not want Nathan to be separated from God. Nathan is just so lost right now and needs a lot of prayer suport. Last summer I met him and over heard that he had made up his own religion, but now he is trying to rub his thoughts on to me.
I also need prayer that I would just remain strong in God's Word, and fall for Satan's skeem.
Thanks bunches.
I'll definitely be praying for these requests.
Thesongwriter, if you need help, let any of us know.
Thank you soooo much
I have many friends like Nathan... well, not completely same situation, but eh close enough. I'll be praying for Nathan as well.
Thanks Mell. It is sad to see him like this. He is soooooo thick headed, but we all can be like that. LOL
wow. that is sad about Nathan. I will definitely be praying for him. it's sad when people think they can even make up their own religion and believe in all this stuff when really, Jesus is right. when Nathan finds this true love and has Jesus in his life, he will feel so much better. I'll be praying for him and all of ya'll as well.
I have a couple requests: I may have broken my arm (we're waiting for results from the doctor). And my note taker of choice has crashed. I'm not happy about this!
Please pray that I'll handle this with some semblence of grace.
Sure thing Puppybraille. I have had dificulties with my braille note lately, and I am afraid that it is on its last leg. Although it is the schools' note taking device, it will cost them money to fix it,. I will be praying for your peace about your situation, and I hope things will work out well for you.
God bless you.
Wow I'll be prayin' for all o' ya's. Technology sucks sometimes, LOL. Trust me; I've been through... oh, maybe somewhere around five to 10 Braille Lites? ROTFLMAO! But now, I use a Braille Note, and it hasn't crashed yet. AHEM, yet! LOL. Well, today, I finally got my science progress report. I dunno if I told you about this one test I took last marking period that I studied for like two and a half hours for and bombed... well, she put it on this six weeks, and my grade is a 77. I was freaking out and my aid said it was the only evaluation on there so far 'cause of the state testing and catching up we've all had. But I was freaking out and she and my friend Linda were wondering why, and I said: "My dad's gonna kill me!" Please pray that he listens to what I have to say... I hate this crap.
OK, mayayayayayjor praise report. My dad took my news about my science progress report well, much better than I anticipated.
yea!!!! Praise God!
We need some praise reports as well as prayer requests. If anyone feels as if God has been blessing their socks off, then tell of it! God loves it when we give Him praise. He also loves it when we as a group pray about a pressing issue in our lives. So really, what has God done in your life that you want to share about? I would love tohear whatever you all have to say. I have a big praise report. For several years I was home schooled along with my four sybilings. Mom and Dad did not know how to teach me because I am the only blind member of the family. So, I tried taking Hadley's Courses through the mail, however that did not work. i tried going to the local high school for math skills and computer skills, but that did not work out. As you can see, I was way behind in all subjects. Well, it was about a year and a half ago when my O&M instructor told me to sign up to go to the school for the blind. At first I said no because I had heard aweful things about it. But then I said to God one day: "Lord You know my future, and you know that I have had many night meres about graduating from school. Lord, I really want to go to this school for the blind. If this is Your will, please send me." Sure enough, a few months past and I got a call saying that I was excepted. I got down to the school right away, andgot the last room in the girls' cottage. You see my friends, God wanted me to attend this school, so He saved the last room for me. Now today I thank God for sending me here. This is truely my home on Earth.
I'd just like to praise God for the way he's handled things. Even though it's not fun having all this stuff with the arm and a broken notetaker, I'm surviving. He let this stuff happen when I was not doing mid-terms. It's a really good thing!
MAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYJOR PRAISE REPORT!!! Just finished my whole English project! Woohoo! That's another brick of stress off my shoulders! Whew! Praise the Lord!
Aw, praise God! From the big English papers, to the arm and the crazy note taking device, God is in control of all things. We all might think that life is so hard, but as I learned tonight at Youth Group, God has created us, and He knows our hard trials, and He is there to lift our heavy burrdens off of our shoulders.
Praise God for His love.
OK, I have some prayer requests... I got an 80 on my math test which brought my average down to an 84 instead of an 85, and I got an 82 on my science test. I really, reeeally thought I was gonna do better than that, and I am even more deeply disappointed with myself for every failure... please pray for me that I learn to accept things, particularly myself, I guess? I dunno how to actually write this one down; it's real hard.
Well praise God for the grade that you got. It could have been realy bad. Look at the bright side! YOu could be failing, or getting a D in all classes. Don't be so hard on yourself! It is just hurting your pride. You are doing a great job Mel, and just realize that you can only do as much as you can take. Not more, but the max.
Take care sissy.

God speaks to me through you all the time you are just.. awesome. Love ya like a sis! XOXOX!
Mel you are too sweet. I did get your message, but you already know now. LOL. I am so glad I have met you as well. God works in mysterious ways. God bless,
Lordlover
Hey peoples. I just want you to know that I am not going to be on here for a while. I need to take a break from the zone life. It is getting me way over worked and I need to cool my jets. If you all have a prayer request fill free to email me at Lordlover@msn.com. Take care, and I will be keeping you all in my prayers.
God bless you all,

I have a big prayer request for all of you. There is a person which I will not state the name, but this person has had enough of life, and wants to take its life. This person has given up on God, on family, on life. The only person to look up to is me. This person says that in about a few hours, his/her life will be over. Would you all be praying that God would be with this person, and that His will would be done?
Thanks and God bless you all.
Lordlover
Good news!!!!!!!!
God is sooooo good! I talked with this person that I was telling everyone yesterday about, and this person which I can not state the name of said that he/she was going to stay on the zone after all! This person told me that thoughts have changed, and that there is no need to commit suicide. I was praying and crying so hard that I coud not go out to dinner with the rest of my cottage. I knew that God was incontrol, but when your friend says that there is know need to be their friend, something is rong, and that is when you look to God. God sure hears our prayers, and He heard all of ours yesterday. Thank you all for praying for this person. God bless you.
Lordlover
I just wan to thank God for loveing us all soooooo much. Haven't you all noticed how much we take life for granted? We have our computers, enternet, TV, radio, and so on, but once they break down, or quit working, we are angry, and wish that we had them again. But what I am trying to get at is that we should be more thankful for the things that we have, and for the things that we do not have. That is my small tip for everyone for the day.
God bless you all.
Amen sista! We were just talkin bout this today! hahaha. god has been soooooo oooo oooo oooooo oooo amazing the weirdest most awesome things have been hapening this week soooo many miracles and stuff! God is soooooo good! I feel like dancing! You set my feet a-dancin', you set my heart on fire... oh gosh that's stuck in my head i love that song wooooooohoooooooo!!!
Hi Lordlover,
I'm glad that person isn't going to take his/her life. it's such a shame when people do that. I can understand why you need to get away from the zone, I don't stay on as long as I use to. I tell my self I'm not going to post for 5 or 6 weeks or so, but then I se something from a poster that either interests me, or I can identify with the post, and Ii feel strongly about. I keep telling myself to sit back and not post so much, but I guess I got big fingers or something, and don't always learn my lessons when it comes to posting. I want to post something in the worst way on the rant board, but since there aren't any older people to understand why what happened ticked me off, not sure that I should, but on the other hand, someone made a remark about how I said in my profile I couldn't read. This wasn't here, but another sight. If my friend can't get on to myspace.com and invite his friends, I think I'll leave that site anyway. Anyway, you take care and have a good rest,
wonderwoman
Till last tuesday, I didn't even believe in god. Suddenly I got a message from him (at least i felt like it) that I should try and find my way back to him. I did, and I'm grateful for it.
Now I'd like to pray for all my friends, and also for those I don't know. May all people who don't believe in god one day find their way back to him.
I also want to praise and thank god for my friends and my boyfriend. And for my dear family, even though they can get hard sometimes, I still love them with all my heart.
Oh, and of course i should not forget to praise him about helping me to find my way back to him. I'm really grateful about that.
Praise God for your faith! I am soooooooooo glad that you have found your way to Him. Praise God!
YAY Ines I am sooooo happy for you!!! I can't even begin to explain how my heart jumped when I saw your "found your faith in god again" topic! Well, as you all know, this is the end-of-school time of the year, and I just wanted to pray for everyone that they'd do well on their exams and not be too stressed. God bless!!!
Good point, Mel. This morning I prayed to god to help me through the day, and suddenly, I was, even though it's the first day of work in this week, happy and in a very, very good mood. I praise god for that.
Amen! I have personally felt very stressed over the last month or so. I can only picture how it will be for the finals. They are so close, but we need to find shelter through God. Thanks for bringing that up Mel.
I feel that christian music strengthens my faith.
Ines, when I graduated fifth grade, my dad made me stop listening to secular music, and at first I was kinda angry, but then I found that the re were many styles of Christian music--not just the kind you hear in church. For three years now I have been hooked on it. I found that when I listened to secular music, the lyrics I had been listening to were very dark.... and I would get depressed easily. With Christian music wth messages of hpe and praise to God, it does tend to strengthen me.
Well Mel I agree, but there are certain styles of music where I can not imagine having christian texts in, for example rap.
Well, believe it or not, there's Christian rap, country, emo, rock, pop, punk,... you name it! It's great!
Well I believe you but I just think I would never listen to christian rap.
Hahaha that's ok. i dont like christian rap much either. im more into rock and punk and emo stuff. lol
I have a big prayer request for you all. I just found out today that I am not doing so well with my French homework. I am mixing up the verb endings, and I am not getting a good grade because of it. I know that this is a foren language, and that it isn't easy to earn, but I thought that I was doing well until today. I am a tad bit down about it, and I just need the strangth to carry on and to keep my head up high.
My friend John, who goes to my school and is not a user one here, has a cousin who has anorexia. I have many a time been on the verge of anorexia... but the Lord keeps me alive... emotionally and physically... and so I have not suffered from it. But I know how she feels. Can y'all please pray that she is healed?...
Please God, help me get through these last six days of school which promise to be some of the hardest. Please help me focus on my work and not worry about whatever happens after I graduate.
You're all in my prayers, I promise.
And I have another prayer request: I got really stressed and angry at me yesterday again. I'm not feeling well and my parents give me too much pressure. Please let's pray that my parents will give me more freedom and that I don't have to be angry at myself anymore or at least don't react how I did yesterday in front of my whole class.
Lord, I want to lift up everyones prayer requests to You today. I pray that You would just guide krisme through the last few days of school and help this person not to feel stressed or frustrated. I also just lift up those who have had bad days, or friends who have not been feeling well, or have problems ot work out in their lives. Lord, You know everyone's thoughts, and I pray that You would just wrap Your loving arms around each and every one of them today. I ask in Your precious name Jesus, Amen.
Amen.
Well, I took my math exam today, and I got a 90!!! Praise God!!! I don't know what I got on all my other stuff, but I'll keep y'all updated! Thanks for praying! Y'all are all in my prayers! Much love!!!
Okay guys, here is a major prayer request. I have a group mate, and she cuts her arms very often. She just came back from a therapy, but it seems it did not help really. So I pray to god, that he can help her not to feel like cutting herself anymore. And i also want to pray to other people who do the same thing.
Amen. She will be in my prayers. Definitely. You know, while at camp this weekend, I met someone amazing. When he was seven, he had an asthma attack that took him out, and miraculously, he came back. He lost his sight from another incident--he got hit by a car, and the operation caused him to lose sight. He and I were talking about being blind and why it was so, and I found out he's a Christian. Praise God! He has been through Hell... 'xcuse my lingo,... but wow. God has had His hand on this amazing young man!
That's really amazing. I pray that the girl I know and who cuts herself, who has problems with eating and with her family and all that, but who is a christian too, feels better and will not have to cut herself anymore. This girl is so amazing, she's so nice. That#s why I pray for her.
I have a big prayer request. This last weekend, my computer had a virus, and it took all weekend to find the right virus scanning program that wouldn't cost me a dime. It took me all weekend to find the right one, and now, I am stuck with a gob load of homework today. The thing is, I woke up about 3:20 AM just so I could complete the nasty homework that I couldn't do over the weekend because of my virus. My cottage parent got mad at me for waking up early, and tryed sending me back to bed. She thinks that I am making this a habbit, and she is going to tell her boss about this problem. I am not sure what to do. Am I wrong for wanting good grades, and for not wanting teachers mad at me?
I don't think you are wrong, I did my homework in another lesson today, don't worry. I will pray for you.
Wow Chelsea that sucks.. badly. Why don't you talk to your teachers about it if your dorm parent won't listen... maybe you need more time on your assignments? maybe you can get an extention? ill be praying for you...
My friend's friend, someone I do not know, died last week. I won't go into detail because.. well I just won't. I jsut wanted to lift up this person's family and friends in prayer that God would have His hand on them in this time of distress...
My mom says I have bad timing. I was eating breakfast this morning and was sad about the news in the last post and told her... and she got angry because she was trying to feed Ellie (dog), take her meds and stuff... I jsut wanna pray that my timing would be better. Wow I cant belive I got myself to post that...
I have a big prayer request again. Well, I will go home this weekend, because I have to. As it is a long weekend, I already go on wednesday. I would like to pray that my mother keeps her cool and does not shout and that the weekend will be - well, at least a little nice.
Awe. I will be praying for everyone. That mom's can keep their cool, and that grades will rise, and,... well..., God know everything so I will be praying for all.
I talked to all of my teachers, and they said that I really need a new computer. What am I to do? I just bought this computer, and I call it my baby. We have gone through so much together, and I do not want to let it go now. I am not sure what to do. Prayer is the best thing. I am just so frustrated with my braille note, voice note, and now, my computer. What is next on the list that won't work?
Oh Girly I know how that is. Comps can be annoying. My Braille Note was acting up... I had to give it back to the district since I'm moving anyway... ha! ha! ha! nooo more braille note! lol... ill be praying for you girly
Well, yeah, they can be annoying.
I have a major praise report!! My day yesterday was much better than I thought it would get, it was fun. I am really grateful for that.
Thanks Mel. and praise the Lord for that good day. Yahooo!! God is good!
I have a major praise report! My tendonitis is slowly getting better with acupuncture. For the first time in two years, I wore sandals! God is good all the time!
Praise god for that!! I am glad for you.
Praise the Lord! He is sooooooooooo awesome!!!
I got a major, major, major prayer request. See, my mum t hreatened, if I do not lose 10 pounds in the next four weeks, she will cancel my flight to my BF. Please help me praying that either she gets more friendly or I really lose these 10 pounds. I am really frustrated right now.
Oy sheesh.. why is your mom so freaked? And why would she use not seeing your BF to punish you? That's screwed up, man. I'll definitely be praying for you. And remember: no matter how things turn out, there is always a reason. God always always has a reason. We usually don't know why, but we jsut gotta go with de flow, y'know?
I know but I would run away if I would not be allowed to see my BF again.
Waita minute. You're 18, are you not? If you want to live on your own, shouldn't your mom let you? Or does it work differently in Germany?
Well I still depend on her as far as money is concerned.
Oh, I see...
Hi, I'm hurting and confused about a lot of things... and needing prayer... badly...
Mel, you'll always be in my prayers. I hope you'll feel better soon *hugs*.
Awwww, sissy, you are on my heart all the time. Cheer up sweety. *hugs*
Think of praise and worship songs from church. That always cheers up the broken hart. I amin the same boat. Believe me. I am not sure if my school is the one for me. I am tired of all of the cussing, swaring, and,.... I am just tired of school. I have been in a bad mood for the last two months, and I want to have a peace about me. Last night made it worse. So yaa. I am ready to cry.
Yeah. I hope you'll feel better soon, I'll pray for you.
OK. I am fedup. Yesterday I had to write an article for my school's year book, and when I came to send it to my teacher later on, it wasn't there on my school profile. My teacher looked all over for it, I have looked all over for it, and it is no where to be found. I am not having any luck with computers lately. Would you be praying that I will just remain pationt and not to blow my top? I am rather upset, and I want to get away from my probelms soon as possible. This whole computer thing is yanking my chain.
Yeah, computers suck sometimes... I'll be praying for you. Also, on the weekend of the 20 of May, I went to a camp and became acquainted with my friend Isaac. um. i was praying and praying that if it was in gods will we wouldnt lose touch, and here a week and a half later, his counselor gave him my number and he called me! yay! and also last tuesday i just found out last tuesday he had an asthma attack and got put in the hospital but now hes fine so yay! the lord is awesome! also i just played peacemaker and i think things are working out between some friends of mine and me. praise the lord! he is awesome!!!
Thanks Melmel.
Wow Mel this is amazing. I want to praise god because I feel, since i believe in him again, he helps me so I can help other people, and I can be more open-minded. Praise god for that!! And, Lordlover, I'll be praying for you.
Praise God!!! Thanks sissy. *hugs.
I also want to praise him for all the friends he gave me, so I can pray with them, and I feel loved. More than in the last years where many people hated and abused me.
Praise God for all of the praise reports I see here! It's so uplifting to see! God is so faithful!
Amen!!! He is so wonderful!
Yes, and I don't know why I did not realize that earlier. I am grateful that I realized now.
Praise the Lord for that! I have known the Lord for all of my life, but a few years ago grew closer to Him. One of my sisters once told me that I sang bad, and that if I were to sing at all that I was to sing better. That caused me to not sing outloud for a long time, thus not putting all of my trust in the Lord. But when I went on a missions trip with my Youth Group, I found out that I didn't have to be afraid anymore. Praise the Lord!! I didn't have to be perfect like I thought that I had to be. Now I am not afraid to sing outloud, and what people think of me. I am glad that I do not have to live in fear anymore.
I have a major prayer request again. All the emails I send to my boyfriend return with an error and I am worried about him. Please pray for me that nothing's wrong.
Yes. That is a major prayer request. You will be in our prayers.
Thanks a lot.
I want to lift up all of the Christians in Brittain. Sazel has told me that there is going to be a law forbidding Christianity, and they just need our prayer right now. The Bible tells us clearly that we shouldn't live in fear. But as one can imagine, she is afraid, and she nneeds her fellow believers to pray with her. The Bible also says that when there are two or more gathered in God's name, the Lord will be with you. I am butchering this verse, but God always hears prayers, but there is power in prayer. The more, the better. So if you think of the Christians in Brittain, and through out the world where it is band, please keep them in your prayers.
Thanks,
Lordlover
What? My favourite country will forbid christianity? I will pray for them all!!! And i hae a major praise report. The day before yesterday I asked you to pray for me so that I could speak to my BF. I could yesterday and everything is wonderful again. So I want to praise god, praise him for that!!!
Praise the Lord!!! I am so glad that things are going well with you two now. Yeayeayeayeayea!
This is screwed! What is this world coming to?! This is pathetic! Absolutely pathetic! I am near tears I am so angry! I hope Christians go on a rebel or something and keep it goin' 'cause this is one big mistake! I will definitely be praying for this...
Well, as some of you know, I am moving as of July 7. However, before when I told some of you, I wasn't sure if I would keep in touch with any of you anymore. Well, where we are moving we hafta have unlimited long distance for phone, so my mom can talk to her family, so those of you whom I am allowed to talk to on the phone, you know who you are!!! Yay!!! Also, my dad just saw DSL for $14.95 per month for a limited time if we order. Please pray that it will last until we move so we can order it wwhile its that cheep! That would be awesome, only 178.90 per year! What a great deal! Also, there is a guy from my church who is offering me free guitar lessons! Woot! Also, I will have my own room for the first time! Also, I will be moving away from my school and church, but I will be moving closer to some other friends!!! Yay!!! Also, I'll have a big backyard and a tiny high school! I am sooo excited!!! Thank you for those of whom I told who have been praying for me about it...
Praise god!!!! I am so glad for you, sis *hugs+.
Yea sissy!! That is a big praise report!! Woot! Glad to hear that. *smiles*
I praise god for all my friends again.
I pprasie God for my free country. For the freedom of speech, and of religion. I praise God for loving us so much!
I join you in that.
I just want to pray for those who are still in school, and who still have their finals to take. I pray that they would just go smoothly, and come to an end quick as possible.
OKay, this is really a major prayer request now. As i hurt myself very often, a friend of mine said I should do a screening test about the borderline syndrom ... and it says I have borderline. Hope you know what I mean. I am just worried about myself now.
If you mean self harm Ines, I will tell you straight, that's not a good idea! I nearly did that about 3 times!
Hey Guys, please pray for us. The UK especially Englad and Wales is in big trouble. Lordlover, I thank God that you guys still have freedom of speech, cause we're about oo lose ours. There's a new law which our hime secritary Chiles Clark is going too take too the house of Laws. It is religious hatred and could result in the arest of thousand sof Christians. Please pray! Please pray taht justice woule be done! Thanks everyone! Sazel. PS, If I have too go, I'm going!!!
It is a personality desturbance. And I already did it, I bit and scratched myself ... I have done that for 11 years now.
The bbC, british broadcasting company broadcast an oppra on TV of Jery Springer. This oppra showed our Lord Jesus Christ as a childish woman beater who declaired himself too be a bit gay. Mary says she was raped by God, and it shows her and Jesus having sexual activitee. When the British Christians tried too take action against the BbC, it was denied by a High Court Judge. He said it was freedom of speech. A free country and it's not for us Christians is it!!! It mocks our faith, and no other faith in the UK is mocked except ours. These new Laws are designed too protect the Muslims from so called "izmamafobia." Please please pray! I'm begging you! Christ's untoo death, Sazel.
It is a personality desturbance. And I already did it, I bit and scratched myself ... I have done that for 11 years now.
That is absolutely cruel, Sazel!!!! Are they crazy? I'll pray for them.
I will pray for the UK as it is my favourite country, I hope you'll keep your freedom of speech and religion.
I won't lose my faith no matter what! I'm Christ's untoo death! amen! If I go too prison, it'll be just me and the Lord. aaa! Bliss! No one can interupt, or make fun of us then, and one day, Jesus will come in all his glorry and let us out!!!
Please don't worry, I'm not trying too be over dramatic, but, I am scared, but, if I suddenly lose contact with you, then I'll see you all in the Eternal Kingdom! See you all on the other side!
*tears. That is so sad to think about sissy. I will sure be praying for you.
And Ines, you will be in my prayers as well. *hugs to both of you!
Thank you. I have tears in my eyes now, too. I really can't take it no more, I need somebody to help me.
what the freak is this world coming to! ok i know the answer to that one... i will be praying for you saz... chelsea told me all about it on saturday and i think that is the most freaked up thing. hey you should move to the us! lol. anyway i will be praying for you. *hugs.* and ines im praying for you too always. *hugs*
Well, I don't want to sound cruel now mel, but I do not want to live in the US at the moment, because of this strange government. Thanks for praying for me though, all of you.
i just want to lift up alex. i want to pray that he will be saved. i want to lift up those who have been persecuted that god will help us keep our cool. i know i have been getting very angry with alex lately and havent been acting very christlike. that is not what i want at all - i want to be a good example...
I join you, Mel. I hope God will forgive Goblin for all he has said and done.
I know He will...
Wonder if Goblin then accepts him ... honestly, I doubt it.
Don't doubt; anything is possible in the Lord.
Any government is off kilter. I mean, there is know perfect government, or country, but at least there is freedom here in the US.
True. And, Mel, I agree with you, you're right. I shouldn't doubt *Ines looks ashamed*.
Yeah. I join you it that one. I also pray that the Lord forgives goblin. One of my Christian friends said too me yesterday, what if you go religious hatred the wrong way round, and they are actually Laws against religious hatred? But, I don't think so! Imagine if I did have it the wrong way round! I would feel so imbarrassed and such a prat!
I really do apologise too all of you in advance, if that is the case! O my life how imbarrassing! lol! But, I'm looking at all the bible says that we will be persicuted etc, and that's what makes me think it's not. My youth Leader did say, we may be going underground soon, the British church as well as other nations. We are certainly in a pickle though, that's for sure. Sazel.
Whatever the case, it will all be in my prayers - heavily.
Sazz, you are doing the right thing. Keep it up! Just keep looking to God for your strangth. You will be in my prayers. *hugs.
Dear Heavenly Father, i just want too lift up Ines rite now as she goes in too Hospital tommorrow Lord, I pray that you would be with her and please dear God, let nothing go wrong. I pray that she wouled really feel you close too her and that she would hear your gentle voice, gently urging her on. You've done it too me many times sweet Jesus, so i know 100 percent that you can do it for her! Please Lord, just let her know that you are by her side no matter what happens, or what she finds out. I pray that you would let her know you are there 24 7. You will never leave her side. I pray she'll be back with us before we notice she's gone and she'd be back with the other members of your family on the Zone Lord very soon! I ask this in the pressures name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen!
Lord, I lift up Heather's best friend. I pray that You would help her, her family, and her friends to stay strong as she endures chemo. I pray that You would heal her of her cancer. It is in Jesus's precious name I pray. Amen.
Lord, I just pray for Chelsea and Mel write now Lord, They have really been great too me since I met them! Thanks Jesus! They may be younger than me physically, but spiritually, there older than me, and they have given me great advice. They have both been great friends and ahve done a lot for me since I met them, even though they are both far away. I thank you Lord that I have been able too hear Chelsea's voice! It's really sweet! Nice accent Chelse! smiles. I hope too hear Mel's soon when it is your will. I would like too meet them Lord, before we all meet at the entrance, then the feasting table in your Kingdom dear Jesus. It's Mel's voice next. smiles. I also thank you for Ines, Lord. I thank you that I've met her, and I pray she would grow strong in you. I ask this all in Jesus pressures name, amen! Lordlover, thesongwriter, I oe you so much! Ines, we'll run the race together! WE're both younger than those two. smiles.
Lord, this may sound stupid too everyone else except us, smiles. But, we had two fire alarms in our hall in one night last night. I just thank you Jesus that we all got in and out safely both times. Ame.
amen. Oopse. smiles.
And dear heavenly Father, I just want to pray for the last few days of school and that they would just go smoothely with finals and all. I pray that the stress level would go down, and that all students would be able to consintrate on their work and not have th always building fears. I ask in Your precious name Jesus, amen.
Praise be to God! It seems as if all of my final exams are going through just fine, yet my French teacher is now upset because I wasn't ther in class today all because of my final that she told me that I could stay back at WSSB to take it and not have to show up. She sent me an email showing that she was highly disappointed, and she is going to email my mom about what has happened. But the thing is that she told me yesterday herself that I could stay back at my other school and complete my final. Now it looks as if she has totaly forgotten, and is upset for something that she told me herself. That is something that I have to deal with and I just need peace about this situation right now. School is over for me,but it is going hay wire right now with one of my teachers.
I don't understand. Why would your French teacher be freaking out if it's the last day of school? What's she gonna do about it? Sometimes, teachers are very blah. Oh, well. I'm sure it'll turn out fine.
The thing is though, is that it is not their last day at that particular school. They still have a week to go, and my school has a few days, but I am not coming back just to turn around and head home. I am not sure though, why she would care so much. All they were doing is studing for the final exam that I was already taking. Don't know. LOL.
O well. It won't hurt the teachers any. And, I have done so well in that class that I won't have to retake it. Yea!!
I want to thank God for this wonderful weather that we are finally getting. And for the summer break, and for all of my friends. Praise the Lord for them!
Praise the Lord for the wonderful weather that we all have been getting! It is finally summer!
hi i have a request for my mom cause she is having a hard time with work
Dear Lord, I thank you taht at last we have had a thunder storm at quarter too six this morning! O well, I needed too be up anyways, for early worship with you Lord, but I thank you that at last this heat is over. I pray for all my friends Lord, on the net and off. We have our Collige Prom tonight, so Lord i just ask you that that would go well, that no one would get so drunk that they do something stupid. I pray that your gentle, kind and tender hand of control would be uppon us tonight Lord, and NN91, i will pray for your Mum. Thank you Jesus, amen!
Lordlover I will pray for that thing with your teacher. Unless it's already been resolved, since I read this...... lolololol. Well, I'll pray anyways.
I have a praise report. After this one week in the mental hospital, I am feeling better and I praise god for them. I pray that he will go on helping me to sort my problems out.
And I want to praise him to help my mother to write such a nice email for me after all the time we argued. It showed that she really loves me. I know things will get better with her and me now. And I also want tot praise god for making sure that in one month, I will be seeing my boyfriend.
Yes. Praise the Lord for all of the wonderful things that He has done! Praise His name!
And Numa-Numa91, I will sure be praying for your mom. Those hard times can sure get us down. She will be in my prayers.
Lordlover I join you in praying for nUMA#S MUM:
I want to pray for my job that is coming up in a week. I pray that I would just enjoy myself as I work, and that I would just be a good influence to both my coe-workers, and with the people that I am boarded with.
Dear Lord, thank You for the opportunity to hear my friend's voice and for him to finally hear mine. Lord, I pray that You help Chelsea to have a good time at her job. I lift up Bridgette to You that You will help her find someone who will just sweep her off her feet, Lord. I pray for Jack that You would heal him and show him that he is loved, especially by You. It is in Jesus's precious name I pray. Amen.
Amen, sister, I join you in all these prayers.
What about praying for the countries top leaders, (E.g. The President, Vice President, the Cabinet members, Congress, The Joint Chiefs) And our Troops, both at home and abroad. Regardless of how you voted or how much you like President Bush, he is a man who is doing God will. Do I think we went to war for the wrong reason, maybe. Do I think this is part of the Master Plan, as Crafted by the Lord Almighty? Yes.

I want to praise the lord for helping me to have the opportunity to see my boyfriend again and have a great time in my holidays. I want to pray that he will help me when I move to another boarding group, that I can move to a nice group with nice people who don#t hurt me.
Amen! I sure think it is a great idea to pray for all troops, and the president, and for all leaders like them or not.
I am going to be starting work this Tuesday, and I am rather nurvous. I pray that I would be calm, and just have fun at my job and that I would not be afraid of the unseen.
I'll Be praying for you Chelsea, What is it that you do?
I'll Be praying for you Chelsea, What is it that you do?
I want to praise god to help me to get the oportunity to see my boyfriend in 23 days, this really encourages me and makes me happy.
I will be working at the Employment Security Center as a secritary for six weeks, then the program that I am in will be over and I will go back to school.
Wow sounds interesting Chelsea. I pray for you that it will be nice and interesting.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You so much for another day. I thank You for one last opportunity to talk to my friends before I moved. Lord, thank You that Kev's operation went well. I pray that You would be with Nanna and Tessa as they go to Washington D.C. this week, that You would be with my parents as they setle into our new home, that You would be with Cindy and me at Camp Life, that you would be with Chelsea A at her job, that You would be with Johnathon at Baltimore, that You would be with Juan B at his program thingy with lotsa field trips, that You would just have Your hand on everybody during this summer and keep them safe. It is in Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
Amen, sister. I second that.
Does seconding a prayer work like seconding a motion in a meeting???
I meant I agree
Right, but if you second a prayer are you virtually repeating it with out repeating it? (This acutally sounds like something to ask a pastor) I would think that by saying "Father, I second what Chelsea said in the precious name of your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen." would basiclly cause the same prayer to rise to the Father on your behalf. I mean we *are* supposed to pray with out ceasing, Right?
Oh let's stop that I don'T know. I just agreed with what Mel said, praying for the same. I should have made it clearer, sorry.
Hey guys, I have the feeling that I have a mission to do. Please pray that I will complete it.
If you like to know more about it, just ask me.
My job is not going too well, and although I only have three weeks left of this program, I am not liking it at all. For the first three hours, it is fine. I work the frunt desk and answering alll the questions that I get from custumers. But after lunch, most of the time I have nothing to do. I am just told to sit down and to enjoy myself. But, the trueth is that my supervisors are not sure what to do with blind people. They have never worked with them, and now, here I am, and they are treating me as if I were a tiny baby who would hurt itself just shredding paper. I am fedup with this job, and I just want to enjoy it more, and want more work. I do not feel like I deserve getting paid just to sit around all week. No! I want to earn my pay.
Aw that sucks sis. I will be praying for you that the last three weeks will be better. *hugs*.
thanks sissy. *hugs
guys please pray for me that my cold gets much better in 6 days when I fly to Bermuda.
Ugh. Colds are not good...
Sure Mel, I will pray for you sis *huggles*.
Indeed, colds are not good at all.
Speaking of colds, i have one now as well... and well, um, my mom is at the doctor as we speak... or type, whatever. She's going to see if she has rumotory authritis or however you spell that... please pray for her she is very very sick. Also we are having some family problems, no not within my own household thank God, but with other family please pray for us that the confront will be easy... and um I am in an emotional situation where um let's put it this way, hope says it's possible but reality says it's not, I'll only go that far. Also i am losing my sight and wel that's scary cuz it's going fast. And um school starts soon so I wanted to lift up everyone who is starting school...
Good news good news I bring god news!!! My mom, as I said before, went to the doctor today. She definitely has a rumotory disease (or however you spell that), but there is a medicine that can help her to have a more normal life again. It won't completely cure her as I do belive this is permanent, but it will help her is what they say...
That is really great that she can get treatment for her arthritis! *smiles* I know I haven't posted here at all yet, but I honestly want to thank God for my being interested and willing to learn math, even though at the moment, it's difficult to learn and do the work at all. I've honestly never been very interested in learning it, but now I am because I need and want to pass it, and my sister explained some of my stuff and it sounds much easier than I thought it would! So hopefully I will do well. But at the moment, if y'all can please pray for my puppy AZI? He has hookworms and had to stay at the vet's overnight. I couldn't go because I had an appointment scheduled and he had recently gotten sick. The vet told my mom that hookworms are usually fatal and that he can't guarantee anything. He's had some puppies live but most of the time they don't. But I really pray that AZI will pull through and get better if not tomorrow in a few days. He is a very sweet puppy and was at least well enough that he could still stand and walk. So I think that's a good sign. But yeah.
Leilani
Awwe, I will be praying for your puppy, and for everyone. *huggles to all.
Job update:
I have a new job wich I love now! I am working part time at Employment Security, and my new job is at the Lions Foundation. I thank God for the new job. I am going to miss working for the Lions, but I am thankful for the time that I have with them.
Thanks for all of the prayers.
Hi, um, I just wanted to lift up the people who have either started school already or will be soon that they will have a good year...
SissyI will be praying for you sissy.Huggles.
Praise the Lord for a new day with new beginnings! I am so thankful that we can not repeat the past. I have had a rough few weeks dealing with anger, and frustration with my friends, and family, and it took a lot of work to bring me out of that deepining pit. Sometimes I will feel that anger rising still, but we are not purfect, and I just have to keep on my guard for the evil thoughts that creep in to my head.
"Thank You Jesus for excepting us for who we are."
Lord, I want to lift up those who are so bitter, or angry towards YOu. Those who may want to rip up Your precious Word, or cause harm to anyone who believes in You. I pray that their hearts would be sofftened towards You, and that they would be able to hear the good news. I pray in Your precious name Jesus,
Amen

Lord, in adition to Chelsea's prayer, I want to lift up Christians who struggle with many things including what she mentioned (being picked on, basically), and just going through other painful things. Lord, I am one of those people right now. Please help us who are hurting to be able to rejoice in You no matter what, to not give into the negative thoughts Satan puts in our heads. Lord, I pray that those people, including myself, do not become bitter and that we always trust in you no matter what... it is in Jesus's precious name I pray. Amen.
Lord, thank you for letting me have such a wonderful time with my BF in Bermuda. Thank you for his parents like me and gave me more confidence in me and how I look. Thank you t hat I have people who support me. Please Lord, help us that we can meet again very soon for our relatiionshi might break if distance between now and the next time tha twe see each other is too large. And help me that my parents accept me more and don't only force me to lose weight. Help me that they will give me a normal amount of food instead of these small portions just to keep me on a horrible diet.
Amen.
Lord, You know that I have been struggling with this problem for the longest time, and it is getting worse. Father, I pray that You would just show me what to do about the issue of being apart of the zone. Father, it seems as if part of me says to stay on here, and to just ignore all who are not friendly, or who YOu don't want me to hang out with, but Father, another part says that I am spending way too much time on here, and YOu know that it is hard to leave this site. Just to tell about You and Your love here publicly means a lot to YOu and to me. Father, what I want is Your will in my life. I pray that you would show me if I am to stay here or to leave. Father, I am tired of feeling this way, and You know it. Please Jesus, show me Your will for me.
I pray in Your precious name,
Amen
Thank God for His endless love and mercy!
I want to lift up those who are struggling in school right now. It is only a few weeks in to school for some, yet seems to have been a rough start for some.
I have been through a lot lately, and the Lord has gotten me through it...praise Him!!! Woot!!! LOL. I am at peace. Still a bit scared and unknowing of what comes next, but I'm pretty much at peace, which is a good thing...
Praise the Lord for that!!
I want to thank the Lord for a wonderful weekend in Canada. Although it rained all day on Sunday, it was a blast, and now I want to go back. I didn't want to leave, but I had to. It was a blessing to get away from everything and just to have some alone time with our heavenly Father.
Chelsea sissy, I will pray that all the drama about you here will stop. Try to ignore the drama. Those who start it are people who don't believe in god.
Father I want to pray for all the people who don't believe in you and spend their time saying mean things about those who do believe in you. May they all find their way to you one day.
Amen.
I am going back to school tomorrow, and want to pray for a smoothe trip there, and a good first week back.
I am going back to school tomorrow, and want to pray for a smoothe trip there, and a good first week back.
I will pray for you sis.
So I have a question. ON this board, are we allowed to ask for prayer on something, as well, as discuss prayers that have been answered. God bless all of you.
Certainly, Jess. Prayer requests, praise reports, this is the place for them. God bless.
I want to praise god for answering a prayer just yesterday.
Lord, thank you for answering my prayer about my future, where I asked you to help me find out what to do next year. Thank you for answering it so early, through a teacher in England and my BF. It looks perfect to me and I want to thank you once again.
Amen.
Amen.
I have a chance to fly to Idaho to visit my relitives this coming weekend, and yet, I am afraid. I don't know why, but I am scared of flying, and of airports. I want to pray that that will go smoothly, and that I don't freek out in the air like I have done twice before.
Also, I want to pray that my night meres would just fade away. I have been plegged by them for as long as I can remember.
Amen about the nightmares; I'm having problems with those too...
Chelsea I will pray for you. God be with you on this flight. But I am sure it'll be fine, flying is very secure.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for the elderly who died this morning on the bus on the way to Fort Worth, the second breaking of the leavy in Louisiana...please heal the damage from Hurricane Katrina, and please help us to be prepared for Hurricane Rita and recover easily. Lord, I wanted to lift up a few friends I have--Johnathon from Beaumont (Picard), Iono if he's staying in Austin, or if he went back home... Juan from Houston, Jackie from Houston area, and anyone else who is in the danger of the storm. It is in Jesus's precious name I pray. Amen.
I wasn't able to fly out after all. I found out that I need to plan my flight a month earlier. But o well. God must want me home for some reason. My family is gone, and it was a sad departure, but they will be back in a week.
On a happyier note, I have made two new friends at school. Praise God for that!!!
Woohoo!!! I did have two really good friends, but lost one... already. Too long story, Chelsea, you would know though. So I have one solid friend at my school, and many acquaintances...
Yaiyers to sissy!!! I am happy for you!!!
Not having a good day, and just need prayer to get me through my hard day.
cheers to all,
Chels
OK. You can stop me if you don't think this is right to say, but I feel as if people are ignoring me before they get to know me. I just need peace about this situation right now. I noticed that someone has ignored me, and I was hoping to talk to this person because she sounds cool, but I am being ignored all over the place. .. Also, I just feel down about school, and just about my future. Night meres are still going, falling behind in French, not doing well in math, ..., my friends are graduating this year, and well, they don't seem like they really want to talk to me anymore. It feels as if I am losing friends. Not gaining any.
Ok. I am done rambbling.
Awww, Sissy, I am going through hard times as well. You are in my thoughts and prayers always...love, your sissy Missy
Thanks sissy. Same with you. *huggles.*
Father, I don't know why you did not want me to stay in Spain, but I am certain that there was a reason. Please help me that I can get another chance to do my work placement. Thank you for making me rather happy at home with my family.
Chelsea I would never ignore you and I owuld never understand why others do.
Dear havenly father, please help me settle into school again and help my finding a solution for my work placement. Thank you for giving me such a nice time at home. Thanks for giving me the motivation back to lose weight. Help me make it through now so I won't stop again suddenly like I always did. Give me the strength to carry on with it. Amen.
Chelsea, Christians always get ignored more then the rest. Especially those ws who stand up for there beliefs. I've always felt kinda far from God. Personally I can say I've believed for ever now, but I don't really rely on God to fix things. I just don't think too. Prayer is also something I've never done. Not sure jsut how. Everyone says "Just talk to him." But like how does one start? As for your friends. I can explain this. Your friends are in that mode where they are graduation, and they want tto get out. Probably x suffering from seayearidous. I have verry few people I actually would call friends. Most of them just up and leave anyway. Yet I stil get atached easy. John
Just picture Jesus sitting right next to you on a park bench. It is prooven to work. He is your friend, and He is there to listen to you. It doesn't have to be a prepared speech, or a written letter, but just talk to Him. He is there, and waiting for you to talk to Him.
God bless,
Shelsey
I want to say a prayer to all of are soleders who are fighting over sees.
god bless them.
I hope they can come home this year.
Dominique.
It's great to know that God is working in people's lives, and I would just like to praise Jesus Christ for all taht He's done in my life. I didn't grow up in a Christian family, but through the people that have influenced me over the years, Christ has shaped me into the person that I am today. I faced persecution for refusing to lie adn got my Bible confiscated, but God led me through that and I'm stronger than I was before thanks to Him.
Well, could you all jsut pray for me that as a sister in Christ, that I will be able to grow closer to Christ...and taht I will become waay more organized than I am now? lol Thanks
I want to thank god for giving me friends who drew me back to christianity, not by forcing me but by letting God talk through them. I am grateful what god did for me in the past year, only he helped me when I really felt lonely.
Hi guys,
Wel, I was just wondering if yal could pray that my college education would be financed 'cause it's gonna cost about $30,000 per year! So, I'm kinda worried. Also, could you please pray that I wil be able to get a laptop before my senior year in high school ends so that I can get used to it for college since I'm using Window-Eyes? thanks!
But on another note, I'd like to praise Christ for all that He's done in my life in helping me to overcome my battle of being the only Christian in my immediate family! I can't say that it's been easy, 'cause it hasn't but He's ben there for me no matter what. Always comforting me through His word! So, praise Jesus!
Sure, Iris.
My work placement starts on Monday, and I am so busy learning for my exams. Please all, pray for me so I manage to write god exams and have a good work placement with a lot of good experience. This comany where I will be doing this even is very religious. It is helping blind people worldwide and it#s a christian company. Please pray that it will be fine and, maybe, that I will find a job there in the long run.
Sure! Will do, Ines
Please all, pray for my futre. Please pray for me that I get a job and that I don't have to live with my parents anymore.
Okay. I have something new to pray about. I have a guy from the UK I really fell in love with and obviously he fell in love with me too. We haven't met yet. Please pray that we can meet very soon.
Furthermore, he is moslem. Well for me, I really respect every religion and don't think it would cause many conflicts, but some people might think that. Please pray that, if it's God's will, we can be a good example for the world that christians and moslems can live together very peacefully and with love for each other. I really hope this will work out for me, because he is so amazing. Please pray for me, people.
Hi all,

She has been in and out of remition a couple of times through the years, and I would appreciate it if everyone could keep her in there prayers so that she will remaine in remition, for the time she has left with all of us.

Sure will Jenni.
I just want to lift up my dad and his work. He hasn't really received any time off for a while, and the project that he is doing is not going smooth. He is currently installing new bathrooms on a navy ship, and he is the head dirrector for this project, but no one seems to want to listen, so he has to yell at him. It takes a lot for him to do such a thing, but he is beginning to look for a new job. I want to pray that he would be able to find a job that would be suporting our family that keeps on growing, and one that wouldn't take so much energy and grey hairs. I love my dad dearly, and he really needs a break.
I have a praise report. :)
Today in Fitness we all had to be weighed. I stepped on the scale, and it had said that I had gained 13 pounds since last semester. I freaked out and was pretty sure it was lying. I was told to step on the scale again to see if it was right. It took away 3 pounds, but I still wasn't happy. Coming back from walking around the track, I was asked to get back on the scale once more. My teacher thought she had missread it, and was hoping that she had. By then my hopes were gone. How could I gain so much?
Well, thankfully, the scale told me that I had only gained 3 pounds instead of 13. Praise God! :D
Thanks, sissy. Jenny, I'll pray for Chris, no doubt about that.
People, I recently had a change of mind about my job. I don'T want to spend the rest of my life in an office. I want to use my language skills to work for God, somehow. Just anyhow I can use my language skills, work for God, and can do that inspite of my disability and my lack of higher education. Please pray that, if it's God's will, I will find such a job.
I also have a praise report. Last week somehow, God changed me a lot. Made me even more energetic to give my life to him, made me feel that I won't be able to live without him anymore, and gave me many precious friends at home. God really managed to stop me hating myself, he made me much more optimistic. And that means so much to me. PRaise God.
That is so awesome sis. God never fails to knock our socks off. :D you never know if God will end up using you in the office. You can spread God’s love that way as well. I work in the office at school, and just with what I have, I make the best of it, and God uses me to help talk the staff through their own problems, brighten up peoples’ days, etc. God never fails to make His hand move. I will be praying though that God would just open and close the right doors, and that you would be willing to do whatever He has you doing. God bless you sissy.
I have something very very very verhrhrhrhry important that you could pray for!!!! God started healing my blindness!!! I just started praying for it, and someone prayed for me, and it truly helped already. Please pray that God may finish the work he started. I know he will but I just feel I need as much prayer power as I can get!!!! It would be sooo amazing. Reading a bible wherever I am ... and I would *not* go to an office then, though. I would do bible college and then be a missionary. Because I could not waste such a testimony by sitting in an office and translatiing boring economy texts. No. I need to go out into the world and tell people. Not to make myself famous, but to bring glory to our awesome God!!!!
He is awesome, and he deserves all the praise that we can give him. I have some prayer requests as well. My mom was in the hospital with pancreatitis. She had to get surgery today to get her gall bladder removed. Please pray that she will endure this, and pleas pray for our family, because as some of you might know, having someone in the family who was in the hospital is really stressful. I just pray that God can give us strength while we cope with this situation. Please also pray for me, because I am trying to tell my principal and other people about Christ where I go to school at (I go to the Ohio School for the Blind). I do not care if I get persecuted, because I know where I'm going after I die. I am not ashamed to tell others about Christ, and I'm not ashamed to get persecuted for what is right, and I'm not ashamed to speak about what I believe, even if others do not care what I believe.
I need help dealing with the lost of my sister. She was only 22 and she died, because of something busting in her head. I don't know why it happened, because she had a little boy who will never understand! Please pray for me.
Wow Macy you're pretty amazing. I want to tell everyone about Christ too but there's that stupid fear of people.
Chemera, I'll definitely pray for you there.
Please pray for my mum that she gets a softer heart towards christianity and stops ridiculing my belief. I am not saying this for myself but so that she and my dad and my sister and grandma might be saved.
We must get as many people in to the kingdom as possible
I would like to say a prayer for my friend and long time drummer that his health improves.
hello. I need you all to pray for 2 things. First, give a prayer to the people in california. there are a ton of wild fires over there and there is no end in site. sooooo many people's homes have burned as a result of this.
I also need you all to pray that it rains in georgia soon. It hasn't rained there in a long time. they are under a drought there and it's close to being declaired a state of emergency. btw california has been declaired a state of emergency.
pray for these 2 things. thank you.
I will defently prey for you auston. Prey that god sends his angels to protect those people in harms way
I will also pray for them too.
Wow there you can see how rarely I hear the news. This is awful and I'll surely pray for those people, Austin. Thanks for letting us know. Please pray for my grandmother, she has three minor heart attacks, eats hardly anything and loses more and more weight and has lots of pains. And I also have a praise report: I got a bible carrier now, which is a talking bible. Now I can read God's word wherever I am!!!!!!
Where can you get bible carriers at? And what exactly are they? I will definitely pray for you and your family.
Bible carriers are very useful little handheld bibles where the bible is spoken on by a very weird computer-voic,e kinda like text to speech, but you can get used to it if it's for the cause of reading God's word. Anyways I didn't want to post this here without adding at least a prayer request, so I'd ask you to pray for me that God will show me where I shall go and what I shal ldo after discipleship training school. Thank you.
Um, pray for people who have prejudices against anything to not have them. This world sadly isn't as perfect as some make out to be.
Oh, and I rather read my bible. You can get a copy through Webbraille.
I have one of those, and they are great!!!! I don't have the address, but if you want to know more about it you can drop me a PM.
Yeah, send me a p.m. if you want, or her, but include if you are an nls user or not. I refuse to give nonnls users the link.
Think of BibleCourier as an electronic pocket Bible designed especially for someone who is blind or visually impaired. BibleCourier weighs only about 4
ounces and is about the size of a pocket New Testament (4 and a half by 2 and a half by 1 inches). So, BibleCourier is very portable and small enough to
easily fit in a shirt pocket or a purse. It is powered by two double A alkaline (AA) batteries which will run BibleCourier for about 40 hours of continuous
reading.
The BibleCourier memory contains the full text of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments plus a
users guide
in a digital format. The users guide is also provided on a cassette tape packaged with the BibleCourier. In addition to the full text of the Bible LBEA
will also include as study aids with most of the Bible versions (not available with NIV, NJB or NRSV) a Bible Glossary, Bible Book Summaries, or Luther's
Small Catechism. Note that the Contemporary English Version (CEV) can be combined with the Apocrypha books (Tobit, Judith, Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom, Baruch,
additions to Esther, additions to Daniel, First and Second Macabees) included with the books of the Old Testament. A page is available to help you
Compare Bible Versions.
BibleCourier like a telephone keypad has twelve buttons on its face with a raised dot above the five key. These keys allow the user to swiftly navigate
through the books, chapters and verses of the talking digital Bible. Each key also has built in help when depressed until two beeps are heard.
The Bible text is not a recording. BibleCourier uses the DoubleTalk speech synthesizer computer chip (from RC Systems) to generate its synthetic voice to
read the text of the Bible. You can select from five male voices and the volume, speed and pitch of the selected voice may be adjusted to your preference.
You listen to the Bible through a set of stereo earbuds which are provided with the BibleCourier or you may use an external amplified speaker (available
from electronic retail stores) for small group or personal listening. While some may prefer listening to a recorded human voice rather than a synthesized
computer voice, the text-to-speech computer chip approach used by BibleCourier has the advantage that it gives the user full access to the books, chapters,
verses, and words of the Bible's text.
BibleCourier has many other features including the ability to read forward or back by sentence or words. You can set unlimited book marks at favorite verses,
have unclear words spelled, and power search (that is, jump forward or back many units) among the books, chapters, and verses of the Bible. A footnote
feature can be enabled which will allow any related notes to be read in a higher pitch at the appropriate place in the text (however, not all Bible versions
will contain footnotes). There is even a sleep timer which can be set to stop the reading after a specified time to conserve battery power. A page of BibleCourier
key summaries
is available to help you learn these functions.

i am really not a christian, but i do believe in god, despite what i have posted on other topics. anyway, i have 3 prayer requests. 1, i have a friend who is needing financial support to get a surgery that she desperately needs. please please pray that she gets the funds so that she can get this surgery.2, that my attitude and outlook on alot of things changes because my strong, and sometimes negative attitude is turning alot of people away from me. and the final request that i have is, i am having a surgery to get my eye removed in 2 weeks. i am concerned about this surgery because i do not know what the cosmetic or visual outcome will be.
pray that I will grow in my faith to god
Pray for my mom. She has ovarian cancer, and doctors don't think she has long. Even though I want her here with us to participate in the things on this Earth, it's only for selfish reasons. Pray that the end will come soon for her, so that she doesn't have to hurt anymore, and so that she can have joy again. Pray for my family that we can survive this loss, and learn to get along without her. Thank you.
my mom got a call and so did I today about jobs. please pray for her and I that we both get them. thanks.
hey guys. can you please pray for jobs for me and my roomate? thanks.
This board is for prayer requests, so I'm going to give you one, as my ex-friend needs prayer! My poor friend was once a former christian, but walked away from his faith. He says the reason he was a christian was because he was "Gullable". He has since became a satanist. I cry and pray for him every day and I hope you will pray for him too. I hope he will turn his back on that snake they call the devil and come back to the kingdom of God.
Oh, and also pray that my faith in God will grow. And pray that my family will come back to God.
Hey. I know how bad we want our friend's to come to God. My cousin is one who just has an answer for me whenever I bring it up smiley. I will pray for your friend.
Thank you. God bless you all!
Praying! God bless!!! :)
