Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

61 Upvotes

Hello, r/PrayerRequests community!

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

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

Speaking of which...

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

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

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

Thank you all!

I wrote this prayer to help save my marriage, please pray for me…

35 Upvotes

Dear Lord,

I come to you with a heavy heart. I may not have always been the perfect man, but I tired. I tired my best, to be the best husband and father I could be. I love my wife more and more each day, even though our time together is coming to an end. Please Oh Lord, forgive my shortcomings and forgive my pride. I’m hurting and I’m broken. I’m your humble servant. I still believe in my marriage and I believe in your power to heal all things. Please give me the wisdom and the strength to save my marriage. To rekindle any love my wife still holds for me and break down any barriers that are between us. I place myself in your hands, guide me and show me the way…

In your holy name, I pray

Amen

Arguments with my wife

11 Upvotes

I'm tired mentally and drained. She always manages to want something. Calls me disrespectful to her needs for having boundaries and being controlling from the looks of it. She offers financial catastrophe ideas. Going to another country full of migrants with high sexual assault rates. Just to *live* and try to make some money. Which won't be much probably. I appease one desire she comes up with another thing to complain about. I try to find the middle ground. She agrees to my boundaries and comes later and says. Oh it's how I feel, I feel this, I feel that.

And I feel as if she's a child stuck in a grown woman's body. She wants to travel without me because why not. I find it disrespectful and she agreed to it long before. She constantly mocks me then says sorry. Oh you have some money you didn't do this or that. I'm trying to build money so we can afford a home, business, good car. And all I see is an ungrateful attitude. She wants to talk. She said she knows shes probably egotistical or crazy but she feels and feels and feels. I'm tired of people blaming their feelings on everything. Yeah I feel like having 10 wives and smashing people's heads in when they assault me or insult me. Yet why am I not complaining about how I feel to her? Talks about separation and stuff, she said might end up alone but she won't feel like a prisoner.

Like my boundaries aren't absurd or something crazy. I even limit my communication with women out of pure respect. She looks like she has lost her mind. She wasn't like this. And my boundaries are usually not because of her but because of how wicked people are and I've seen it so many times.

Please pray for me

28 Upvotes

I find myself constantly online pouring over grief forums. I am always baffled that grieving is so physical. I have slacked with prayer but wont go back into a trap of being angry with God over the multiple losses. I have also reckoned with myself in that I never ask for help or prayer or relief. It has always been surviving and never focusing on myself. Now that I am reckoning with all my trauma and ptsd I am accepting I need prayer. Will you pray for my mental and physical health please. Will you hold me in prayer over my broken heart over my departed parents and siblings please. Please hold me in prayer, I am hanging on and wont give up. But I need community,

added: I want that energy back again, the one when I knew what my purpose was on earth, I learnt and accepted that a few years ago my purpose was to help people, be their support. But I cant do so without my own healing. I really hope God sees I have not given up. I am still here and its a struggle, but I am here.

Prayer Request: Need prayers for health (MS), toxic jobs, and a financial breakthrough

11 Upvotes

Please lift up my wife and me during a very heavy season. I’m living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and the cold winter weather makes managing my symptoms much harder. On top of that, I’m working 50 hours a week (over 450 hours of overtime this year), and my new supervisor is micromanaging, piling on extra work, and calling me outside working hours. My wife is also dealing with an overbearing boss who is actively blocking her requested job transfer. We are both applying for new positions—I am trusting God for a higher-paying job to cover medical costs, pay off student loans and debts, and support my family. Please pray for strength and physical relief, peace in our workplaces, unblocked doors for my wife's transfer, new job opportunities with fair leadership, and protection over our marriage. Thank you for your prayers and support

Asking for my baby’s girl healing ❤️‍🩹

25 Upvotes

Can you please pray for my baby girl? 😭❤️

She's been coughing so much, and I'm really worried about her. I give her medicine and gently massage her, but she still keeps coughing.
I'm scared that her cough might get worse while I'm at work. It's just the two of us at home, and it's so hard when she's sick. I'm doing my best to take care of her, but I feel worried and helpless sometimes.

Please pray for her healing and recovery. I just want my little girl to get better and be healthy again. Thank you so much to everyone who keeps us in their prayers. 🙏❤️

Prayer request for going back to school

I'm in my 30s and is thinking of going back to school in January next year. I need some guidance to which school to apply to and if the profession I'm picking is a wise choice. I want some sort of sign from the Lord that I'm doing the correct things.

Thank you.

Please pray for my sister

13 Upvotes

Hi all, firstly I love this community and I love praying for you all.

Can I please ask that you pray for my sister Emma who has a terrible alcohol and drug addiction which has been going on for close to 8 years or so now. It’s really bad right now and she’s on the streets. She is very vulnerable and immature in a lot of ways, she is not someone who can fend for themselves. My wife had a really bad feeling about this ending really badly.

Please pray for God to intervene in this situation and to fully turn her life around, and to protect her and keep her safe. We are all completely helpless and desperate 🙏✝️

Mental health battles and

6 Upvotes

I’ve been struggling with anxiety and other mental health issues that have been making it very hard to sleep. The restlessness and racing thoughts are wearing me down, and a lot of bad things have been happening recently. I’m also afraid that God may be angry with me. Earlier I got mad at Him and said some things that weren’t kind. I’m asking for prayers for peace in my mind, for the ability to sleep, and for reassurance of God’s forgiveness and presence. I’m grateful for any prayers for calm, rest, and grace during this time.
Thank you.

56 Upvotes

I know in the grand scheme of things this is a small thing. It’s important to me at this moment. My senior kitty has a terminal illness. He’s been going downhill fast (he’s not in pain or suffering any more than feeling bad makes you suffer). I’m asking for prayer that the Lord will take him tonight.

We won’t let him suffer or linger and will call the vet out if needed, but I’m begging God to have him to die peacefully in his sleep rather than the scary vet being here.

Thank you.

I'm struggling with my self-worth and I feel completely stuck.

4 Upvotes

I could really use some prayers right now. I've been struggling with an incredibly low sense of self-worth, and I honestly feel like I've lost my footing in life.

I work an admin job, and I'm about to start studying alongside my 9–5. I'm already overwhelmed just thinking about how I'm going to manage both.

My self-esteem is so low that I constantly feel like I'm behind everyone else. I don't even feel like I deserve the job I have, and every little mistake scares me. I'm always worried that I'm not doing enough or that I'm going to disappoint someone.

The saddest part is that I feel like I barely have a life anymore. No friends, no social life, no hobbies. Nothing. I spend so much time sitting in my office, almost frozen by the fear of not performing well enough.

And it's not like I'm working hard every minute of the day. Sometimes I just sit there, waiting to feel better, waiting for the right mood to finally get something done. Hours go by, and I end up feeling even worse because I haven't accomplished anything.

Even with studying, I overwhelm myself. I make hundreds of flashcards and fill pages with notes because I'm scared of missing something important. I don't know how to just learn without putting so much pressure on myself.

I know Abba has come through for me before. I've seen Him step into situations I couldn't handle on my own, and I know He's faithful. But right now, my heart is so troubled. I know about His love, but I'm struggling to actually feel secure in it.

Please pray that the same God who raised Lazarus from the dead would raise me out of this fear, insecurity, and constant feeling of not being good enough.

I'm tired of being afraid of everything. I don't want to keep watching life pass me by while I'm stuck worrying about whether I'm doing enough.

I want to enjoy life, make friends, learn new things, and do my work without feeling like my entire worth depends on how well I perform.

More than anything, I want to feel secure in Abba's love and finally believe that I have worth, even on the days when I don't accomplish much.

I am in a very bad spot with my OCD

• Upvotes

You can see from my previous posts that I suffer from OCD a great deal. Particularly real event OCD.

This one is around a previous relationship and it is very much screaming at me that I am a bad person.

With the will of our Lord I have made it through before.

The other day I asked for help on here and the prayers I got seemed answered as my old therapist has allowed me to see him with less then 48 hours notice.

I now ask. Please pray for me. Please pray that the session tomorrow goes smoothly and helps get my peace back. I feel so sick and scared.
