Group wall: Prayer requests§↻

Thanks Jappel for the update. We praise the Lord for answered prayer... for sending the good weather, workers, children and especially for the one who came to faith in Him! ✝👏🏽✝

Just a final comment about the VBS. All went incredibly well. God held the weather back. Saw many people come that were answers to prayer.
Thank you for praying!!! 😊🙏🏼

Praise the Lord as the Angels sing!!! Someone at our VBS got saved!! Thank you Lord for your gift of salvation!!!

Thank you so much!

Wonderful news, Jappel! Thanks for the update. I'll continue praying for your church's VBS.

Sorry, that was incomplete.
So far, we have had over 40. Two more days to go.

Thank you to those that have been praying. We have had above 40 kids each night, Praise God!!!

Tonight starts our VBS. Please keep praying. Thank you.

No. We do Regular Baptist Press. It is Kookaburra Coast.

Jappel, I will be praying for your church's VBS. Is that the Zoomerang one from Answers in Genesis? Our church did Zoomerang this past week.

Thanks :)

Definitely

Can you pray for my sister she's about to have a baby and i just want every thing to go well.

Im praying hope you have a great VBS

In one week my church is having our VBS. Please pray that all goes well and the the Lord will have his way.
@Saintman-you might be interested in that the VBS theme is Australian. 🦘

Thank you for those that have prayed, My mom is doing a lot better, and my co-worker is getting better with her PTSD. She still needs prayer, her name is Kendra if you would like to keep praying for her. Thank you guys. God Bless!

I want to put a prayer request out there (actually two)
I have a co-worker/friend that is having trouble with PTSD and health problems and my mom has a really bad sinus and upper respiratory infection. She is on meds and antibiotics and is feeling really down right now.
Thank you.

My favourite antidote for anxiety is Isaiah 26:3
And then focus on Jesus, the Prince of Peace 😊

Definitely will pray. True peace can come from God. keep your focus on Him!

Absolutely! Also, we like you and are glad you are here!

Our minds sometimes work against us, and you should seek help if it continues. Don't be afraid to visit a counselor or doctor; there is no shame in visiting either. Counselors can give you tricks to help you get out of the mind funk to see things as they really are rather than how your mind interprets them. A doctor can identify if there is a chemical imbalance that needs to be adjusted. Beyond that, you can focus on exercise, staying hydrated with water, and getting a good amount of sleep. All of these make anxiety much worse.

Since we are focused on Bible memorization here, though, you might look at some of the sets on peace. God has a surprising amount of things to say about peace in Scripture.

Here is one I like to lean on when anxiety strikes me:

6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned[e] and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. [Phil 4:6-9 (ESV)]

Since God's sheep hear his voice (John 10:27-29), and according to God's Word Christ Jesus brings us the peace of God, whenever we hear those thoughts of anxiety we can reject them as contrary to the Word of God.

The biggest help for me, however, has been to just praise God. Thankfulness to God always brings me relief. Here is an example:

"Thank you God that I'm a child of God. Thank you that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thank you that you came for me and died for me. Thank you that when you were nailed to the cross, my sinful nature was nailed there too. When you were raised from the dead, my sinful nature remained buried in the tomb. Thank you, Jesus that you are my healer. Thank you Jesus that you bring me peace. When everything around me is full of turmoil, I can lean on you for peace. Your Word promises me peace. You are God; you cannot lie. Thank you that your Word goes forth and does not stop until it accomplishes what you sent it out to do. If you said I can have peace, then I accept it. I thank you that because you have drawn me to you, no one is able to snatch me out of your hands. I thank you that you give your angels charge around me so that I will not stumble."

I keep on like this until the anxiety goes away. Your faith builds greatly when you speak out the Word. You guys have been focusing on Scriptures related to controlling the tongue, and how such a small member is a rudder to controlling the ship of your life. The tongue can destroy your life, but it can also shape your life according to Word of God when you speak it out.

If you are not sure what to pray, Google "Who I am in Christ" or pray the psalms (the good parts, not the "Lord, rip out their teeth parts =D).

Hopefully one of these suggestions will help. They have all made a difference in my life.

Hey guys. My anxiety and paranoia has been really bad lately so if someone could just pray abt that for me I’d be really grateful.

@Rose2022
How are you doing?

Yes. Things have been drying up. But it is getting warm and very late for crops to be planted. Pray that yields this fall are still good.
@Saintman, you may be interested in this. In July, my church is putting on a VBS. It is Australian themed. If you could please pray for that upcoming event, that would be great. I will give out more details later.

Thanks Jappel, I am slowly improving. 😊
I would still appreciate your ongoing prayers.
Do the farmers still need prayer?

How are you doing, Saintman?

As long as there is Faith, Trust, and Pixydus...sorry. Got started and couldn't stop. Faith can move mountains and can heal. That is all we need.

I appreciate all your prayers.
Some days I struggle very much, but I have noticed an improvement the last few days.
I believe the Lord hears our prayers and can heal me fully.

I'm sorry to hear that, Saintman. I have a close friend who recently had heart surgery as well and it has been a hard recovery. I'll add my prayer as well.

You might also find a book written by Keith Moore helpful called "God's Will to Heal." Keith Moore, if you are not familiar, was the healing outreach coordinator for Kenneth Hagin Sr. for years and has taken on his healing anointing after he died a few years back. There is also a video series on the topic as well. Keith Moore does not charge for any of his materials either online or his conferences, so here is a link to it:

Just checking in, Saintman! Hope you're finding the energy you need and the doctors are making progress. Mostly, find rest and energy from the Lord. I am praying for you!

Definitely! The Lord has raised people from the dead and healed people from a cold; He can definitely heal you. Rest up and keep praying! Have fun with those fish, LOL

I have another prayer request.
I had heart surgery over a year ago but have not recovered back to normal, and my O2 sats have been lower than usual. All the tests cannot find anything.
As a result of the heart problem, my energy is sapped most of the time.
Could you please pray for healing of my heart and lungs and energy?
I know the Lord is able to heal.
And the more people who pray, the better.
If you would take the time to pray, that would mean so much to me. Thank you!

Yes, Australia.
Thank you for your prayers.
Just a few days ago, I confirmed a house-sit which will give me 5 months of free accommodation, looking after some fish!
Praise God!

Thank you for praying! The Farmers in our area have been able to get a lot of work done. Weather is still nuts, but God has given much decent weather for profitable work!

You live in Australia right, Saintman?

Definitely will pray that God will draw you to him.
Here are a couple basic suggestions.
Take time to pray, read your bible every day.

Please pray for me. It's almost ten years since I was baptized but there's not much transformation in my life to draw my love ones to Christ. I also don't pray much.

Noted, guys. I'll pray that God will move on your behalf.

I will pray for the farmers.

Also can you please pray for me.
About 2 weeks from now, I will need to leave my apartment (lease ending) and there are no units available for rent in my budget.
(there is a severe rental shortage in my area)
So I will need a kind homeowner to let me stay with them (preferably a Christian).
I would appreciate your prayers.

Being the founder, I think it would be best if I started.

I live in Iowa, USA. Most of the people in my area are farmers. If you would, please pray that the weather would cooperate, and that they can get into the fields.

It has been cold and warm, wet and dry in the last several months. Winter won't end and the fields can be too wet to work with. There has been little planting and field working because of the weather. It is very late for this kind of thing.

Thank you,
Jappel
